Marvel News of the Day

[ericadawn16]

So, there was some good Marvel news and some bad...

Good:

I love this article.

3. When the Hulk is smashing Loki up and down, they inserted Tom Hiddleston's real agonized face.
This took a lot of shooting of Hiddleston looking pained, so they could paste it into the digital Loki. "We're not inventing how he looks when he's in pain," says Chu. "I had to get behind [Tom Hiddleston] and shake him violently," so they could capture his real expressions. (He mimes violent shaking.) "I did it so long, he started laughing. So we didn't use that portion."

This better show up somewhere...

Scarlett Johansson was on my TV tonight! CSPAN even! I loved her speech at Democratic National Convention. I heard rumors that Natalie Portman and Mark Ruffalo would also be attending but I never saw them.

Viggo Mortensen is rumored to be playing Dr. Strange in Thor 2!

I mean, Dr. Strange is AWESOME and to be played by Viggo?? In the same film as Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba and Chris Eccleston????

PLEASE LET THIS COME TRUE!

BAD:

Rephrase that...VERY BAD:

"ITEM UPDATE: The "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One--Avengers Assembled Collection" will not be released by Marvel as we originally expected. We know this delay is disappointing, and we're sorry for any inconvenience this causes. Marvel is planning to offer a similar collection in new packaging. The new collection will include the original titles offered with the first version of the item, and we expect it will be available in the spring of 2013. Additional information will be available on our website and via email when available."

No mention of whether it'll be all 10 discs or just 6 like the international version or whether the files, PHIL!, will be included anymore...

WOW! Thank you for mentioning that they aren't going to be sending this out because Amazon didn't bother saying anything. Now I've got it cancelled.

Gah!!!! I preordered that set! [pout]

I'm still going to get it... Just farther along in time.

I'll just have to get the blu-ray of the Avengers movie for now...

I want a tesseract! (It's needed for a future Halloween costume. Totally necessary...)

Ugh.
Stupid Disney, stupid German luggage people!

I can't wait that long!

I'd heard that Scarlett made a speech, but we missed it because we needed to go to the supermarket. I was watching C-SPAN and the only other Marvel movie actor I saw was Don Cheadle. I thought Obama and Biden gave great speeches, by the way.

Thor 2's sounding kick-ass! Viggo as Doctor Strange? Could be another franchise in the works! (Hope it's true!) ;D

Really bummed to hear that the Marvel movie collection is being delayed. I can feel your pain because I'd recently ordered the Torchwood: Miracle Day DVD from my book club and they said they didn't have it! (Why put it on one of your flyers, then???) *growls* My birthday's coming up soon anyway, so I can either order it from Amazon, or get the Torchwood: Exodus Code novel (written by John Barrowman and his sister Carole). ;)

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the company that makes Fury's attache case sued them for (I'm assuming) copyright infringement (unless they had a design patent) over said case. You'll probably end up with the very same discs in a less cool case.

I decided against it based solely on the lack of digital copies. I'll buy the not!Hulk movies individually eventually.

Also, Scarlett made a speech a the Democratic pep rally? I"ll have to find that on YouTube when I'm feeling peppier.... (along with Obama's and Bidens and B Clinton's)

I'll have to look for Scarlett's speech.

I bet the extra editions of the Avengers DVD have some insight on that hilarious scene.

Dr Strange is in Thir 2? Ooh. Sounds interesting.

But! But!! *cries over the awesome box set*

Viggo Mortensen is rumored to be playing Dr. Strange in Thor 2! - Holy Crap. Will watch this space for updates..wow.

[coneyislandbaby]

I swear if I get Viggo and Chris Eccleston in the same movie I'll explode from fangirl joy!

[ericadawn16.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry it looks like a false rumor but at least we still get Chris E and his army of what looks like gold CyberElves...

[coneyislandbaby]

Ah well, I'll just have to explode from everything else :) The increased Darcy alone would probably have done it anyway ;)

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

LOL! I'd love to see that footage XD Tom seems like a pretty cool person to work with from what I've read. I have to roll my eyes at so many of these priss actor/actresses that tend to whine WAY too much.

No Phil files? *pout* Aw that does really blow :/

[i-llbedammned.livejournal.com]

I have a hard time picturing Viggo Mortensen as Dr. Strange, but I will totally give him a shot.

And those behind the scenes looks always make me smile.

Wow, all the way to 2013. Damn.
