Marvel
Entertainment's The Avengers: New Mexico Connection...
Marvel
Entertainment's biggest film project of all time is
is now New Mexico’s biggest film production ever
as 'The Avengers' confirms its 2011 shooting locations.
Thor
not only hits off the summer movie season of 2011,
but it sets up events that will culminate in the Marvel
superhero team-up epic, The Avengers, the following
year. With story elements of Thor taking place in
New Mexico, and the production shooting in Santa Fe
and Galisteo, it’s of little surprise to see
Marvel Studios returning once again for their biggest
project ever.
New
Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and Marvel Studios
officially announced the agreement making The Avengers
the single largest film production in the state’s
history. The current schedule has Joss Whedon’s
The Avengers shooting in New Mexico between April
and September of next year, using both Albuquerque
Studios and of course, the beautiful and vast surrounding
locations that so many other major Hollywood flicks
have used.
The
Avengers also is set to shoot action in Michigan and
New York but production will primarily take place
in New Mexico’s largest city Albuquerque.
Governor
Richardson talks to local economic benefits to New
Mexico: "In addition to being our biggest production
to date, The Avengers will be the most technologically
advanced and will provide cutting-edge training opportunities
for our crew… I’m announcing this as a Christmas
present of sorts to the people of New Mexico. This
is a perfect example of the incredible job creation,
economic impact and global visibility this industry
has brought our state over the past eight years, and
of the need to keep it moving forward."
So
Marvel heroes fans, be looking out for Chris Evans,
Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo,
Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Clark Gregg and
Samuel L. Jackson.
Thor
opens May 5, 2011; The First Avenger: Captain America
hits July 22, 2011 and The Avengers is scheduled to
debut May 4, 2012.
Spider-Man:
Broadway No Match For Movie; Spidy Fans Disappointed;
Would Rather Play Spider-Man Games And Play Dress
Up...
The
new and much talked about Spider-Man musical has another
problem stuck in its web. Sick to death of waiting
for the problematic Broadway show to officially open,
critics for two mainstream news companies released
early and negative reviews of the $65 million musical,
which won't officially open until February 7.
Writing
for Bloomberg News, the influential financial news
wire service, veteran critic John Simon slammed the
show as "an unfocused hodge-podge of story-telling,
myth-making and spectacle that comes up short in every
department. A few good songs would help, in which
department the show is sorely lacking," Simon
wrote in the review late Sunday night. Like most rock
stars, Bono and The Edge haven’t a clue about
writing for the theatre."
The
U2 legends wrote the score for the show, which was
directed by Lion King helmer Julie Taymor.
Both
Simon and Newsday's Linda Winer defended their premature
reviews on the grounds that the show was charging
full ticket prices in some cases more than $200 a
seat for the performances, and that the opening date
had been pushed back twice.
Winer
called the show's infamous high-flying acrobatics
"exciting and scary, in a circus way" but
dismissed the second act as "weak."
Simon
was also impressed with the flying scenes: "An
hour of anticipation for about 90 seconds of exhilaration,"
he wrote.
Would
you believe four actors have been injured during the
show's rehearsals, including a horrible injury to
lead aerialist Chris Tierney last week.
Critics
almost never publish their reviews of productions
before the official opening night. Spider-Man: Turn
Off the Dark has pushed back its debut twice.
The
New York Times said in a posting to its arts blog
that it would not review the show until the official
opening.
Media
Man loves Marvel Entertainment, Spider-Man and U2,
but this project does not sound good. Sorry guys.

Djimon
Hounsou Continues Campaign For 'Black Panther' Movie
- 4th December 2010
(Credit:
MTV)
As
Marvel Studios prepares for "Thor," "Captain
America" and "The Avengers," the successful
comic book movie studio is undoubtedly exploring future
films starring some of their other popular superheroes.
Could
Black Panther be one of them? That's certainly the
hope, according to "Gladiator" actor Djimon
Hounsou. The Oscar-nominated actor previously lent
his voice to an animated "Black Panther"
series, and in a recent interview with io9, Hounsou
said that his work on that show was an attempt to
generate interest in a big screen "Black Panther"
film.
"That
was the idea: using it as a leverage to tell a feature
story," he said — and his hopes for a "Black
Panther" movie are far from over.
"He's
a king, he's a man of the people, and he's very powerful
— he challenges himself throughout his kingdom,
and I think that's rare when the king puts his own
life [on the line] and challenges [people] to beat
him, in order to see [who's] the best out there,"
the actor enthused. "He's really cool. He comes
from a world in Africa that is cool, and has all those
minerals and it's very exciting. It's just a matter
of time for that to be realized."
We
agree that it's just a matter of time before a "Black
Panther" movie gets off the ground, but will
Hounsou be in the title role? He's certainly got competition,
as "Lost" actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje
previously told MTV News that he was working with
Marvel on bringing the character to theaters. (Credit:

Marvel
Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE: MVL) is an American entertainment
company formed from the merger of Marvel Entertainment
Group, Inc. and Toy Biz, Inc.
A corporate predecessor traces its origins to the
May 1933 publication of Western Supernovel Magazine.
That magazine was only published for one issue before
the title was changed to Complete Western Book Magazine
in July 1933.
The company's oldest character is Ka-Zar introduced
in 1936. In 1939, the company began publishing comic
books as Timely Publications with Marvel Comics #1
History
Ronald
Perelman's MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings group
of companies bought the Marvel Entertainment Group,
the parent company of Marvel Comics, from New World
Entertainment for $82.5 million.
"It is a mini-Disney in terms of intellectual
property," said Perelman. "Disney's got
much more highly recognized characters and softer
characters, whereas our characters are termed action
heroes. But at Marvel we are now in the business of
the creation and marketing of characters."
Boosted by a massive merchandising effort, an increase
in Marvel comic prices, and an overall boom in the
comic book industry, Marvel's profits spiked. Perelman
later added the baseball card and basketball card
companies Fleer Corporation and SkyBox International,
Italian sticker manufacturer Panini Group, and comic
book publishers Welsh Publishing and Malibu Comics
to Marvel's holdings for a combined total of $700
million. Investors around the world recognized his
efforts and generated $80 million for Perelman when
he issued Marvel's initial public offering. He later
added a significant stake in Toy Biz to Marvel's holdings.
His luck was not to last. Marvel's attempt to distribute
its products directly led to a decrease in sales and
aggravated the losses which Marvel suffered when the
comic book bubble popped, the 1994 Major League Baseball
strike massacred the profits of the Fleer division,and
Panini was hobbled by poor showings at the box office
by Disney (Licensing Disney characters provided a
major source of revenue for Panini, so when the movies
performed poorly Panini performed poorly). A major
bondholder, Carl Icahn, fought to take control of
the company from Perelman. Both men failed as Toy
Biz owners Ike Perlmutter and Avi Arad snatched Marvel
from Perelman and Icahn in order to protect their
own financial interests. Estimates of his profit on
the deal vary widely. Chuck Rozanski estimates that
Perelman made $200-400 million off Marvel; Forbes
thinks he made nothing;and the judge in the Marvel
bankruptcy trial estimated he made $280 million plus
various tax advantages. In December 2003, Marvel Entertainment
acquired Cover Concepts from Hearst Communications,
Inc. On March 15, 2007, Stan Lee Media filed a lawsuit
against Marvel Entertainment for $5 billion, claiming
that the company is co-owner of the characters that
Lee created for Marvel. Additional, a lawsuit over
the Ghost Rider Character ownership was file On March
30, 2007 by Gary Friedrich and Gary Friedrich Enterprises,
