Featuring the CWverse‘s first excursion into space, Marooned unfortunately did not offer much improvement from Legends Of Tomorrow‘s last episode. Receiving a distress call from a fellow Time-Masters’ ship named Acheron, the team opts to offer assistance and head for outer space, if only to gain a programming update for Gideon will which help them track Savage. Once in contact with the Acheron, the team finds it seized by pirates. Rip, Jax, and Rory are captured in short order while the rest of the crew is left to fend for themselves on the Wave Rider. The episode reiterated Rip’s guilt over failing to save his family while shedding further light on…

Star City 2046 contains what is most likely Legends Of Tomorrow‘s most interesting story concept, making it a shame that the execution heavily falters. After returning to Star City, 30 years after they had departed, in the last episode, the team finds the city in a state that can only be described as Escape From New York mixed with The Dark Knight Returns. The entire city is more or less a massive slum, overrun with gangs led by Deathstroke (Grant Wilson), and Team Arrow, aside from a retired Oliver Queen and his successor Connor Hawke (aka John Diggle Jr) have been killed. While a story in this vein is not the…

For the past couple years, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been attached to produce, direct and star in Warner Bros.’ Sandman adaptation. The movie, based on the iconic Neil Gaiman comic, has more recently moved over to New Line Cinema, along with other Vertigo adaptations. And just yesterday, we learned that a new screenwriter was tackling the script. Unfortunately, it looks like Gordon-Levitt won’t be bringing this story to the big screen after all. In a lengthy Facebook post, the actor-director revealed that he has dropped out of Sandman. Essentially, he says that he does not see eye-to-eye with New Line on how to adapt the source material – aka, the classic…

A few years ago, Warner Bros. put a film adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed Vertigo comic, Sandman, into development. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is attached to direct and star in the film, while David Goyer wrote a story treatment. Jack Thorne was hired to write the script two years ago. More recently, the project relocated to WB’s New Line Cinema. And now, another scribe has been recruited. According to The Hollywood Reporter, frequent horror writer Eric Heisserer will write a new draft of Sandman. Heisserer’s credentials include Final Destination 5, remakes of The Thing and A Nightmare on Elm Street, and the upcoming The Conjuring 2. New Line hopes that Sandman will spawn…

Back in 2000, Warner Bros. was developing a Batman reboot based loosely on the Batman: Year One graphic novel. Darren Aronofsky was set to direct, while the comic’s writer, Frank Miller, penned the script. However, the studio ended up passing on the project. The script was heavily criticized by fans for being a very unfaithful adaptation of the source material. More info can be found here. But why didn’t Batman: Year One happen? In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Frank Miller explains that, essentially, the film was “too dark” in the eyes of WB. Aronofsky’s vision of Batman was even darker than Miller’s – and Miller is the author…

A few weeks ago, it was revealed that an R-rated directors cut of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was coming to home video later this year. Dubbed the “Ultimate Edition,” this news spawned much discussion, both positive and negative. We learned yesterday that the cut will contain more brutal fight scenes, as well as additional DC movie references. And now, these reasons have been elaborated on. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, star Ben Affleck says that he understands both sides of the PG-13 vs. R argument. He wants to take his kids to a PG-13 film, but he himself likes to watch R movies. Well, the Ultimate Edition of Batman…
