I have always been a fan of the Lord of the Rings books and movies. Ever since I found out they where going back to do The Hobbit I have been eagerly awaiting the first trailer. Today it arrives. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey opens in theaters December 14th, 2012. You can watch the trailer Here:

Justice League:Doom will be based on the Tower of Bable story from the Justice League comic book series. Here is the first look at the trailer. More Justice League: Doom Videos It looks like its going to be a great ride. It looks very loosely based on Tower of Baby I want to say. What are your thoughts on the trailer?

If you sat through the credits for Captain America: The Frist Avenger you would have seen a small teaser for The Avengers. This was but a glimps of what is to come. A couple of days ago a bigger longer trailer hit the Internets. And here it is: The Avengers is slated for release May, 4th 2012 Also, word just came that Thor will now be directed by Patty Jenkins(Monster).

Henry Cavil is the new Superman in the upcoming movie "Man Of Steel" directed by Zack Snyder. This aims to be a fresh and innovative take on the character and with a director like Snyder (300, Watchmen) this will be a sight to see. The movie's writer is David S.
