TOYSREVIL's Movie News Round-Up April 6-April 12.2014
Check out the above "Peter "Star-Lord" Quill-centric "Extended Trailer" for the film "Guardians of the Galaxy" (or as Stevens remarked on my FB - more "extended scene" than "trailer" - so true tho ;p), which also saw "activity" this week via Entertainment Weekly Page pics and a LEGO reveal (Also posted #onTOYSREVIL).
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" avoids discussing further about Turtle-faces and instead teases Turtle-Hands via posters, and we get to see "Master Splinter" via LEGO Reveals (Also posted #onTOYSREVIL). I'm not hating on this incarnation of TMNT tho (not much anyways) and am always open to reboots and reinterpretations ... within my personal tolerance, of course lol
While "X-Men: Days of Future Past" saw Character Posters (PopcornX / XMENonFILM) - although I miss seeing Colossus and Kitty "Shadowcat" Pryde's romance, especially on Joss Whedon's ru on "Astonishing X-Men" comicbook ... "Quicksilver" ran ahead of the pack for a magazine image feature and TV commercial promoting burgers (Also on PopcornX). Not to be left out, the rest of the X-Men had their feature in the pages of Entertainment Weekly as well :)
GODZILLA had an new extended video (above), a new Poster & Movie Still, while Japanese superhero "Kikaider" gets a REBOOT. Coincidentally I just rewatched "Space Battleship Yamato" on DVD again yesterday/last night, and am always keen to see "re-boots". Go watch the original Episode 1 of the "classic" version, for comparison!
Paparazzi News comes in the form of Character Designs for Captain America & Black Widow in "The Avengers: Age Of Ultron" while filming in South Korea (somehow feel kinda "filthy" for posting this tho… might not be doing more of this … or maybe I will LOL ;p)
Promo Art by Hasbro for "Transformers: Age of Extinction" showcases the "entire lineup" of robots - although there are more Dinobots than just 3 x Decepticons? LOL (Also posted on PopcornX) … and Grimlock gets a solo image showcase and dimension description!
Highlight of the week has to be my preview of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" (Also posted #onTOYSREVIL) which also showcased some "fanart".
And finally something which I haven't posted anywhere else, as it is not necessarily a "feature film" per se, but I reckon would make a splendid "noir" live-action short, IMHO: "Batman: Strange Days" - Bruce Timm's Batman 75th Anniversary animated short, "featuring a lost tale from Batman's past, the Dark Knight tracks a strange giant to the mysterious lair of Dr. Hugo Strange."
