Let’s Watch Some Trailers Today!

First up the new Spider-Man: Homecoming Trailer!

For the most part this trailer just gives us a better look at what we have seen before: a longer chat with Tony, a longer glimpse at what happens on the ferry, more Michael Keaton, and more time with Peter’s best friend.  All in all it looks pretty good, though nothing knocked my socks off.

Next up the first official Justice League trailer!

I know this came out a couple of days ago, but sometimes things move a little slow on my blog.  This trailer pretty much features all the footage from last year’s Comic Con, but with better editing and more Aquaman.  Which is great because Aquaman steals the show.  Finally a DC superhero that looks like he is having fun!  I thought that it was going to be up to Barry to deliver all the jokes, but it turns out Arthur has a sense of humor too.  Other than that, this movie uses the same blue and brown color pallet as Batman V Superman, so I am sure that will disappoint quite a few fans.  It is a good trailer, but not a great one, and trailers have never been a problem for Warner Brothers.  Scripts on the other hand…

No One Needs Wonder Woman More Than Warner Brothers!

So I know this came out Saturday, but I was rather busy yesterday, so I am going to talk about it today.  Is that okay?  I hope so because you really don’t have a choice.  The trailer above is very good, but Warner Bothers has a great marketing department.  The trailers for Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad were also good, but the movies themselves were lacking.  Warner Brothers needs Wonder Woman to not only be a hit financially, but critically as well.  As a mater of fact they would probably take less than stellar box office returns as long as people really liked the film, like they did with Batman Begins.  People tend to forget Batman Begins was a flop compared to its massive budget.

Warner Brothers needs to prove it can make good movies so they can keep up in the franchise arms with Disney.  Disney has the upper hand, but mostly because Warner Bros keeps bungling their releases.  Right now Warner Brothers needs a hero, and that hero is Wonder Woman.

Casting Gotham City Sirens!

Well the time has come again for me to help out Hollywood and cast their movie for them.  This time I am casting Gotham City Sirens!  We are in need of a new Poison Ivy and Catwoman.  Here are my top five choices for each role!

First up Poison Ivy:

5: Emma Stone

Emma is busy earning awards right now with La La Land, so it is the perfect time to turn her attention to pulp fiction.  She has the wit and charm to make Poison Ivy her own.

4: Isla Fisher

Thanks to Wedding Crashers we know Isla can do crazy and sexy, so Poison Ivy should be prefect for her, and since she is funny, she should be able to keep up with Harley Quinn’s high-jinks.

3: Christina Hendricks

Has there ever been a more seductive red head then Christina?  Even Captain Mal succumbed to her feminine wiles.  She would be great for this role.

2: Eva Green

Sadly I have to admit that I am ranking her this high partially because her name is Green, but still she needs something to do after finishing Penny Dreadful, and she would be amazing as Ivy.

1: Rose Leslie

Thanks to Rose (another name pun!!!) we know that John Snow knows nothing, but I could see her kicking in teeth in Gotham City with the best of them, and she would be fun new face for Poison Ivy.

Now on to Catwoman:

5: Mila Kunis

We know Mila has the action stuff down, and since somehow she isn’t already a superhero/villain, we should really change that.  She would be great as Catwoman.

4: Keira Knightly

Keira has been doing too many period pieces lately!  It is time for her to stop wearing crowns and gear up to kick some butt.  She started out in action movies, and it is time for her get back in to them.

3: Anne Hathaway

I know what you are thinking, “She was already Catwoman!”  Yes but she was great at it, and she said she would love to do it again.  It would be a fun bit of continuity, and DC does love carrying over random roles.  Though usually they end up as different characters.

2: Emily Blunt

As Mugatu would say, “She is so hot right now!”  And she would bring a lot of interest to this picture.  If any person can co-lead a film at this point it is Emily.

1: Olivia Wilde

The fact that Olivia isn’t in the Marvel or DC Universes is criminal, so why not make her one of the most recognizable Batman villains of all time?  She would knock this role out of the park.

Those are my top picks for Poison Ivy and Catwoman.  I would love to hear who you would pick.  This movie is getting under way soon, so we should be getting official casting at any time.  My track record is not good, but I like my chances with these two lists.

The Golden Globes Were On Last Night… CONSTANTINE IS COMING TO THE CW!!!!!!

So the Golden Globes were on last night, and congratulations to all the winners.  I am sure they all deserved their awards, even though I haven’t seen almost any of the movies that were nominated, did see a lot of the TV shows though… HOLLY CRAP CONSTANTINE IS COMING TO THE CW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Though not as we remember him.  He is going to be animated on the CW’s Seed Online channel much like Vixen.  Well the Vixen that isn’t on Legends of Tomorrow anyway (it is all timey-wimey).  Here is the first shot of animated Matt Ryan:

While the first season of Constantine was uneven, Matt Ryan’s portrayal was spot on, so to get him back is great.  I hope this leads to some live action crossovers with the other CW shows.  CW now has seven DC Comics TV shows: Arrow, Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, iZombie, Vixen and Constantine.  That is just nuts.  Wonderful, but nuts.  13 year old me is super excited.
