Aquaman DC animated film teased to come by Geoff Johns

Looks like a certain King of the Seven Seas may get his own solo film after all... In animated form and teased straight from the mouth of the man who's currently writing the character's ongoing comic book series.

Certainly something that's been a longtime coming, DC Comics' own scribe and Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns has teased that an "Aquaman" animated feature film is in the works, in response to a fan's question on whether or not the King of Atlantis and founding member of the Justice League would get his own DC Universe Animated Original Movie. 

Via a story from Comic Book.com, a Tweet question by user ChrisFox27 was posed to Johns, where he asked:

“Can we get an animated movies focusing on #Aquaman? He really, REALLY deserves a moment in the spotlight,”

Johns then responded in simple and exciting words:

"Yes You Will!"

And there you have it. A TEASE that Orin/ Arthur Curry will indeed be getting his own film, and after making appearances as a supporting character in other DC animated films like the recent Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (where he was voiced by Cary Elwes), one has to wonder which storyline and signature plot arc DC Entertainment will adapt for Aquaman. My bet's on Johns current and awesome New 52 series. After what Flashpoint Paradox did to make the DC Animated Movie timeline conform to the new continuity, the first arc of the relaunched Aquaman series "The Trench" is likely the one to make. Here's looking forward to this animated prospect in the near future!

The Expendables 3 loses Bruce Willis, but gets Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, and Antonio Banderas

3 legendary names in Hollywood and the action film business have joined Sylvester Stallone's "Pure Testosterone Action" club, and it looks like we're in for some heavy hittin' awesomeness come next year!

After rumors and reports of their participation swirling for months, it's now official that Harrison "Indiana Jones/ Han Solo" Ford, Mel "Martin Riggs/ Braveheart" Gibson, and Antonio "El Mariachi/ Puss in Boots" Banderas will be joining Sly, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, and the rest of the gang for "The Expendables 3"! The news comes via Superherohype and Entertainment Weekly, and is pretty much looking good for fans of these guys itching to see a reunion of sorts for some very familiar names in Action Movie History.

Uniting many familiar names from the action hero genre together, this will be the third film in the franchise set to be released by next August, and we can only wonder where Barney Ross and his ragtag crew of mercenaries will do next! What's confirmed is that Mel will be playing the villain, much like what he's doing this year for Machete Kills.

On the other hand, it appears Bruce Willis isn't saddling up for a return as Church for the new sequel, as he and Stallone haven't come to an agreement and it didn't pan out. Read more on the story via Superherohype's article here. Rumors are also swirling that Wesley Snipes, Steven Seagal, and Jackie Chan may join the club, but we'll have to wait for more official word on that in the future.

The Expendables 3 is set for release on August 15, 2014.

Shine On... R.I.P George Duke.

Just learned from my friend and fellow music buddy Caz Edmunds that another musical prodigy and legend in the world of Jazz, R & B, and Soul has left us.

George Duke, the man who gave us classic and soulful music hits like "Shine On" and "Sweet Baby", has sadly passed away. A story by NPR reports on his passing and confirmation from his publicist, and he died at the age of 67.

As a fan of his music and legacy to soul and Jazz, I'm saddened by his passing, yet his music will surely live on in the minds and hearts of listeners worldwide.

As a tribute and remembrance, here's "Shine On" by the man himself.


GEORGE DUKE Shine On
R.I.P George Duke (1946-2013), you will be missed good sir.
