Hulk Poster Similar To Spiderman Comic Cover

The official poster for The Incredible Hulk was released just yesterday, however some people, like those over at io9, were having deja vu, flashbacks and geek spasms.

The poster is – presumably intentionally – a recreation of one of the most famous Marvel covers ever: Amazing Spider-Man #50 (If it looks familiar to those of you who’ve never seen the cover before, it was also recreated in the movie Spider-Man 2). Why try and recreate a Spider-Man cover for a Hulk movie poster? Who knows – Maybe Ed Norton wanted the world to know that he really is a geek, after all…

Although they are rather similar, if not identical, I would like to point out that Spiderman is red, whereas The Hulk is in fact green.

(Ah, who am I kidding…it’s a total rip-off!)

Coolness: Spiderman + Star Wars =

Venom To Get His Own Spin-Off!?

The same day we got word from screenwriter James Vanderbilt regarding the progress of Spiderman 4, IESB have got word that a Venom stand alone film is moving forward. A number of ‘A-List’ writers have met with the studio, whoever the studio is. IESB mention that New Line previously had rights to Venom 8 years ago, which reverted back to Marvel. However, the question is who has the rights to Venom, as Sony used the character in Spiderman 3. With the recent deal struck between Marvel and the Writer Guild Of America, it could be that Marvel have the rights. As of yet there has been no official announcement, so things are not concrete as of yet. However, it does raise a few questions. Will Topher Grace reprise his role, or will Venom be re-cast? Venom is known for being a villain, so what will the storyline be? It is rare in Hollywood that we see the film from the ‘bad guys’ point of view.

We may get these questions answered in the future, if all goes to plan. Venom was a fan favourite for the thrid Spiderman film, and some were left disappointed by the lack of screen time he got. It felt as though they simply put him in because the fans wanted him, and found a small gap for that to happen. The word ‘crammed’ came to mind after people saw the third film, so maybe if Venom gets his own film the fans can get a high dose of him that they have been craving.

What are your thought?

Superhero Movie Trailer

I can remember reading something about this movie a while ago. The Scary Movie 3 and 4 team were going to have a take at the superhero movie genre. We’ve had Date Movie and Epic Movie spoofs, so why not superheroes? I thought we were going to get some spoofs of Spiderman, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Batman, Superman etc. Well after watching the trailer I was disappointed. Instead of getting a rather cool spoof movie, were getting a movie spoofing the first Spiderman film. By watching the trailer we can see that yet again break dancing is part of the humour. We had pirates doing it in Epic Movie, Spartans doing it in Meet The Spartans and now Dragonfly Man. I for one, am getting tired of break dancing in spoof movies. These so called ‘comedy writers’ need new ideas. Yet again we have people falling over, running into things and getting stabbed by random objects. Check it out:
