If all the Green Lantern goodness doesn’t convince you to go WonderCon , maybe this will: Immortals , the Tarsem Singh-directed Greek god epic from Relativity, will have its first-look at the San Francisco event, which runs April 1 to 3. Also there will be some of the cast, including Henry Cavill , the British actor recently cast as Superman. Also on tap are Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz,  Mickey Rourke  and Isabel Lucas . Singh will be there as will the producers, Gianni Nunnari and Mark Canton. Details can be found after the Jump... Cast and filmmakers to present first footage of the film and host panel discussion. Saturday, April 2 5:00 PM – Footage and Panel – Main Hall In case you’re wondering what  Immortals  is all about, here’s the synopsis: Visionary director Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) and producers Gianni Nunnari (300), Mark Canton (300) and Ryan Kavanaugh (The Fighter) unleash an epic tale of treachery, vengeance and destiny in Immortals, a stylish and spe

The A-Team’s potential for a sequel was always in the balance – and now, from Bradley Cooper's very own mouth, it seems there definitely won’t be a follow-up. He was asked  “Any news on the A-Team 2? Will there be one? I thought it was great and my friends felt the same.” Bradley’s response: “I loved it too. But unfortunately, outside of you, a few of your friends and myself, there just wasn't enough revenue to supply a second instalment of that franchise.” This is a great shame in our opinion, as though The A-Team wasn’t a perfect movie, it was a big bag of fun. If you look at the numbers, the US haul clocked in at $77 million, and the rest of the world, $100 million. Its budget was $110, so there’s $67 million there to pay for all the marketing (and there was a lot). This just wasn’t enough for a mid-summer blockbuster – and maybe releasing it during the World Cup opening weekend wasn’t a great idea in hindsight. Please Leave A Comment- Source- Empire

There are few movie projects in Hollywood that have had as as many big-name supporters -- and stops and starts -- as " The Dallas Buyer's Club ." A 1980s-set true story about a trafficker in illegal AIDS drugs, the drama has attracted some of the movie world's biggest names over the past decade. The movie tells of Ron Woodroof, a heterosexual Dallas electrician who was diagnosed with AIDS in 1986, during some of the darkest days of the disease. Doctors gave him just a few months to live, but he refused to accept their prognosis. Instead, Woodroof created a smuggling operation for alternative treatments, then illegal, and got them into the hands of as many AIDS patients as he could. He wound up living six more years and saved or prolonged the lives of countless others. Brad Pitt was interested in starring in it for years. Top-flight filmmaker Marc Forster had at one time been set to direct it. "Babel" scribe Guillermo Ariaga once wrote a draft of the s

Attention, robot nostalgists: Your dreams of a big-screen adaptation of the 1984 animated series Voltron: Defender of the Universe are one step closer to becoming CGI reality! Vulture hears that a bidding war has broken out to finance a Transformers-size blockbuster retelling of the legend of the iconic robotic lions and their human pilots; Ryan Kavanaugh's deep-pocketed Relativity Media is one of the very interested parties trying to sell itself to World Events Productions , the St. Louis–based company behind the original show. Atlas Entertainment producers Charles Roven ( The Dark Knight Rises ) and Richard Suckle had been developing a script with screenwriters Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (who wrote the upcoming Conan the Barbarian reboo t), and concept art had leaked last fall. But considering how long this project has been rumored, rudimentary-anime fetishists dared not raise their hopes. Now, news of the eager big-money suitors means this could finally actually
