IESB has a video posted of an interview with Iron Man director Jon Favreau. In it he said a few interesting things about upcoming Marvel projects. He denied rumors that Thor will be introduced in Iron Man 2, and confirmed that the Norse god will be getting his own film due out the same year as the Iron Man sequel. Favreau also revealed, or at least confirmed the title of the upcoming Captain America film as Captain America: The First Avenger.
For all you Godfather fanatics, check it out, The Godfather Trilogy is going to be released on Blu-Ray. The deets:
On September 23rd, Paramount Home Entertainment will release the newly restored classic THE GODFATHER COLLECTION: THE COPPOLA RESTORATION on DVD and Blu-ray! Completely restored to their original pristine glory (overseen by Francis Ford Coppola himself), THE GODFATHER COLLECTION: THE COPPOLA RESTORATION not only includes the bonus material from the original box set, but it also boasts a bevy of all-new extra features! An extensive frame-by-frame restoration (that took more than a year to complete) ensures that THE GODFATHER films look just as great as they did the day they premiered in theaters.
Does that sound like an offer you can refuse?
Universal Pictures has just debuted the trailer and teaser site for The Tale of Despereaux, a modern animated adventure of four unlikely heroes: Despereaux (Matthew Broderick), Roscuro (Dustin Hoffman), Pea (Emma Watson), and Mig (Tracey Ullman).
