The Dark Knight Rises Update: More photos of Selina Kyle!

The Daily Mail has posted up some photos of Anne Hathaway in a really great and stunning white dress, portraying her role of Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan's next epic Batman flick, The Dark Knight Rises! While the official photo released by Warner Bros. yesterday of her dressed as Catwoman and riding the Batpod is already in wide circulation around the web (prompting some more shooting and fake pics to appear as well), we shouldn't forget about her gorgeous civilian alter ego, and new pics of Hathaway in that part like the one above have surfaced courtesy of Splash Page and The Daily Mail while filming is currently going on in Pittsburgh.

The Dark Knight Rises will soar into theaters on July 20, 2012!

First pics of World War Z with Brad Pitt appear!

Via The Daily Mail and Superherohype, it appears that shooting is well underway for World War Z, a zombie movie based on Max Brook's epic but fictitious novelization of the oral history of the "Zombie War". Brad Pitt stars in the film and plays the Brooks, who made himself into a character traversing through the world as he interviews and collects stories of those who experienced and survived their encounters against the undead ten years after humanity won against the zombie epidemic, referred to as "World War Z". Above is a shot of Pitt, all bearded and shooting a scene in Israel, which is the only country in the book to "close its borders and initiate a quarantine against the outbreak".

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for this movie, since I am a fan of zombie lore, especially movies and comics based on them the Dead films by legendary director George A. Romero and Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" come to mind!). Having a copy of the book in my personal collection, I can tell you right now that it is one of the best fictional zombie stories I've ever had the honor of reading. Influences from Romero's zombie movies, which have themes of social commentary, are present in WWZ, and while I am a bit concerned with how the film adaptation will turn out once it is completed, I have faith it will still be a great movie nonetheless. For now, we can only wait for information and details whenever it arrives online.

World War Z, to be directed by Marc Forster, will be released sometime in 2012.

Captain America Update: First Photos Of Cap Costume in action!

Superherohype and The Daily Mail have just released photos online showing the full look of the costume Chris Evans will wear in next year's superhero flick - Captain America: The First Avenger. The man wearing the costume in this scene is NOT Mr. Evans however, but a stunt double who is participating in a scene where Cap, riding a motorbike, is being chased by agents of H.Y.D.R.A.

So far, things look mighty impressive in terms of the Cap costume's look, not to mention the iconic shield itself. True, the outfit bears a closer resemblance to the Ultimate Cap costume, but it looks pretty realistic, and it complies with the setting of this movie during the WWII era. Also, the"wing tips" will be making an appearance of sorts, painted on the helmet Cap wears while riding on his bike.


The H.Y.D.R.A agents also look impressive, along with their futuristic bikes. Not bad, but I'm still waiting to see Evans himself in the suit, as well as Hugo Weaving decked out in full Red Skull attire! For more pics, check out Superherohype or The Daily Mail!
