In the early 2000’s, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema were developing a big screen adaptation of DC’s Captain Marvel, who is now officially named “Shazam”. Get Smart director Peter Segal was attached to direct, while Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was in talks to play the villainous Black Adam. John August worked on the initial script, but was later replaced by Geoff Johns and Bill Birch. Of course, the movie never happened.  Speaking with Coming Soon while promoting his new film, Grudge Match, Segal looks back on the Shazam movie. He said that it looked like it was going to happen after Superman Returns was released in 2006, but doesn’t see it being…

The most well-known live action version of Wonder Woman is without a doubt Lynda Carter, who starred in the classic 1970s television series. Recently, it was announced that Diana Prince is finally coming to the big screen, and will be played by Gal Gadot in Batman vs. Superman. Speaking with Metro, Carter reflects on playing Wonder Woman, and is obviously asked about Gadot’s casting. She had this to say when asked if it would be unusual seeing another actress in the role. “I don’t think so. It was a long time ago. I care more about the character continuing than holding on to my piece of it. I hope she has…

Over the past few months, DC Entertainment has announced a slew of new television shows based on its properties. The CW is developing The Flash (a spin-off of Arrow), iZombie, Hourman and reportedly Young Justice, while NBC is working on Constantine and Fox has a Gotham series in the works. Of course, there’s no stopping there, and other characters are likely being considered for their own series. Below, I’ve listed ten ideas for potential television shows that can be considered by DC. *Note: With one minor exception, I wanted this list to have different characters from my last feature, which listed ten possible low budget movies from DC. Deadman A couple…

After working with Zack Snyder on 300, Watchmen and Man of Steel, Wesley Coller will also be involved with the director’s next film, Batman vs. Superman. In an interview with mLive, the producer discusses the controversial casting of Ben Affleck as Batman, reaffirming that the actor-director is perfect for Snyder’s take on the character. “Because we’ve historically done fan favorite fare – ‘Watchmen,’ we remade ‘Dawn of the Dead’ … – I’ve developed a pretty good perspective on this. “Anything you do that’s culturally significant, or any time you deal with an iconic character or story, you’re going to hear responses from every possible perspective. So nothing surprises me anymore. If…

Speaking with CineMovie while promoting American Hustle, Man of Steel costume designer Michael Wilkinson talks about returning for Batman vs. Superman. He confirms that he is “tweaking” Henry Cavill’s Superman suit, and he is also designing a “whole new” costume for Ben Affleck’s Batman as well as a “new look” for Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. Additionally, Wilkinson offers an update on the process of creating the costumes. “We are now in the stage where we’re refining our designs with the last series of camera tests and doing our final tweaks in preparation for shooting.” He adds that he feels, “honored and tremendously excited to be involved with a project whose iconic characters…

In today’s “Matt’s Inside Line” article from TV Line, we have more hints at what to expect from Arrow later this season. Specifically, we have new details on Episode 14 of the series, titled “Time of Death”. The episode – which sees the return of Alex Kingston’s Dinah Lance – will focus on the Lance family and the secrets that are being kept. Showrunner and executive producer Andrew Kreisberg weighs in. “Episode 14 is probably the most Brothers & Sisters episode we’ve done. Everyone in the Lance family has big secrets and it’s all going to get blown wide open, but in a good way.” The episode will also see the…

When Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman in Batman vs. Superman earlier this month, the announcement received plenty of backlash from fans – not unlike the reactions to Ben Affleck’s casting as the Dark Knight. The most common complaint claimed that the Fast & Furious 6 actress was too thin to play the character. This is a rather ludicrous statement, as anyone who is cast in a major action role has to get into shape. Director Zack Snyder is also known for getting his actors into proper shape; 300 and Man of Steel are proof of that. Meanwhile, we have first comments from one of Gadot’s Batman vs. Superman…
