Cloverfield is out and was a great success over the weekend. Making almost $50 million, which is a record for a MLK weekend.
With the DVD of the movie months away, many are left wondering what the monster looks like. Unlike Godzilla, or other creature features, the monster has not been revealed in the trailer.
However, a nice article on /film contain several “fan-art” interpretations of the creature. Check all of them out and see which is the best.
Found that image over at ENewsInternational the other day and I thought that it looked awful familiar. I dug out my The Incredible Hulk TV Series DVDs
Kudos go out to Occasional Superheroine for beating me to the punch on posting the relation to the old TV show. I guess they’re really playing the movie as an homage to the TV show, especially since they’re including the “Walking Man” theme. Now, if they’d only include the Disco Version of the Hulk Walking Man theme, there would be no reason not to see the movie.
Nice, new photo of Tony Stark (Robery Downey Jr.) building/testing the later version of the Iron Man armor.
With any superhero flick, the beginnings of its success is based on the visuals. Great story has to be there, but if the visuals (or look) is all wrong, fans won’t show up to check the story out.
Every look at Iron Man seems to be visually 100%.
Speaking of Iron Man, you should definitely check out the Iron Man Fan Film by David Guivant that’s currently over on ScreenRant. Featuring a few Iron Man supporting characters and Avengers teammates, it’s amazingly well done and makes me wish there were a real show like that being developed.
When you hear about superhero films from other countries, it usually conjures up images of low budget, badly acted parodies of the superhero films that so many of us love.
That was my initial thought when I heard about Supermanyi Eodeon Sanayi or (A Man Who Was Superman) over on Geeks of Doom. Way more than a superhero flick, “A Man Who Was Superman” sounds like an intelligent take on the superhero genre, one that resembles nothing I’ve ever seen or read before.
Here’s a part of the description:
While filming, her camera is stolen camera by a thief. The camera is quickly retrieved by a man in a Hawaiian shirt (played by actor Jeong-min Hwang) who claims to be Superman. He explains to Soo-jung that he has been rendered powerless by a villain who placed shards of Kryptonite in his head, but still does good deeds like rescuing lost dogs, persuading a man not to wander about naked in public — and sometimes regains enough power to stand on his head and push the Earth away from a collision course with the Sun.
Definitely one to look for later in 2008, when it makes its way to DVD.
Pretty cool example of the Cloverfield viral marketing kicking into high gear for the movie’s premier on January 18.
Several videos have been found online that “seem” to be news reports from various countries (Spain, Germany) showing the destruction of a Tagruato Oil Rig Platform.
