Four clips from the movie of Mark Millar's Kick-Ass reveal the bloody business of being a non-powered superhero in the real world. The costumed vigilantes crash into cars, get stabbed, and slice and taser their way to victory. Spoilers below... More »

The Green Hornet adaptation is still short a Kato, but may have found its villain in the form of Nicholas Cage. Is this mere big-name casting, or are we finally seeing director Michel Gondry's crazy plan coming together? More »

Questions are still swirling around how much Nicholas Cage's sudden attack of squeamishness will tone down the violence in the movie version of Mark "Wanted" Millar's superhero splatterthon Kick-Ass. But at least we know one thing now: he'll have a killer porn-stache. TheBadAndTheUgly posted some pics of Cage looking appropriately sleazy, and Millar posted a blog entry where he exulted about a particularly violent and un-fatherly scene he saw Cage shooting. More »

In Knowing, Nicholas Cage digs up a 1950s time capsule that includes a set of numbers predicting every future disaster — including the end of the world. Is it spiritual? Psychic? No, it's real science, claims director Alex Proyas. The movie's numerical version of clairvoyance is "rooted in a science that we believe holds water," he insists. [MTV Movies] More »

Nicolas Cage, Donald Sutherland, Nathan Lane, Bill Nighy and Eugene Levy are joining the cast of Astro Boy, the CGI adaptation of the anime classic about a robot kid, alongside Freddie Highmore as the voice of Astro Boy himself. Let's hope this means more big-screen versions of classic anime are on the way — bring on the live-action InuYasha! As we reported earlier this look into the 1950s story created by Osamu Tezuka won't be all red rocket boots and sunshine. It's going to be a dark pinocchio story, steeped in robot abuse.

The monster-trashes-New York movie Cloverfield disarmed the "third rail" of dealing with Sept. 11 on film — and now Nicholas Cage is all set to dance on it. Cage's movie Knowing, now being filmed, uses Sept. 11 as a major plot point to set up its apocalyptic storyline. And it plays very explicitly with 9/11-style imagery, as you can see from some new set pics that came out. More »

We were already kind of un-thrilled about Knowing, which stars Nicholas Cage as a professor (with Tourette's syndrome) who digs up a time capsule that can predict the future. But new details make it sound even less exciting. Rose Byrne (above) plays the daughter of the woman who buried the capsule in 1962, and she starts to remember strange events from her childhood after Cage contacts her. Not only does the box predict the Kennedy assassination and the death of Cage's wife, it also claims an apocalypse is happening within the week. The movie's plot sounds a lot like Isaac's clairvoyant paintings from Heroes, plus the fact that Alex (I Robot) Proyas is directing may be a bad sign. [Hollywood Reporter] More »

Zack Snyder's Watchmen will keep much of the darkness in Alan Moore's comic, judging from Jeffrey Dean Morgan's angst over playing the Comedian. Morgan, who sports a mustache and icky hair for the role (see photo), has a hard time with some of the Comedian's "morally neutral" ways. There are days that the Grey's Anatomy star finds it a "stretch" to make the rapist and mass-murderer likeable. Or maybe he's just trying to compete with Heath Ledger's Joker angst. [Superherohype]

]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=332302&view=rss&microfeed=true The producers of The Mist claimed credit for a "dense foggy mist" that swamped Los Angeles on Monday evening. The fog shut down one of two arrival runways at LAX, forcing the cancellation of a dozen flights. Police blamed one traffic fatality on the freak weather. So it may not have been the best plan for the Weinstein Company to claim responsibility. More »
