The MMO has its own registration, handled through Bioware/EA.
My guess is some ultimately boring social media registration where you can create one online identity and link it to any forums or sites discussing Star Wars.
That makes a lot more sense than thinking it's connected with the stalled TV series or something new.
True. Maybe EAT, PRAY, LOVE was just a chance to work with Julia Roberts in an awesome location? Everyone needs a working vacation now and again.
I just have a hard time seeing Bardem being that "into" shoots involving lots of FX, greenscreen, creatures in costume, etc. while Mortensen has ample experience with all of those.
I still think that Viggo Mortensen would have been the better choice. Bardem, while an awesome actor, just doesn't seem that interested in genre stuff.
I'm sure it'll suck, but karmically it does make perverse sense.
Since so much of Alan Moore's comics career has been spent reviving and/or reinventing other peoples' characters in ways the original creators wouldn't have been terribly thrilled about, it's about time someone did the same to him.
I'd never have imagined that BLADE would be so successful, that PUNISHER would merit three attempts, SWAMP THING would end up as a TV series, or that a Brian Singer-directed SUPERMAN would be such a turkey.
IRON MAN was in on-and-off development for years. I remember hearing about Tom Cruise possibly playing Tony Stark back in the early '90s. It was only a matter of time.
There is absolutely no chance they'll ditch Thor, Cap, Hulk, or Iron Man for a sequel. I can imagine introducing a few different longstanding members (or popular B-listers) like Wasp, Giant-Man, Ant-Man, Vision, Black Panther, etc. but there's no way they'll lose the big four.
White Wolf has been trying to get a movie going for years, and when "Underworld" came out, they felt that it damaged their ability to do that. I believe they also objected to the first Blade film, which borrowed pretty heavily from their vampire mythos with all of the representatives of the different vampire clans.
