Micro-News: Scarlett Johansson LUCY Mishap, Hulk Gets His AGE OF ULTRON Script And More

Avengers Script Johansson hurt on Lucy Set Geoff Johns

Keanu Reeves spoke with Access Hollywood about his upcoming samurai film, 47 Ronin and what it was like to learn the katana.



Scripts are apparently being sent out to the Avengers: Age of Ultron cast. Mark Ruffalo just got his. Filming starts February 2014 in London.




Scarlett Johansson injured on Lucy

Scarlett Johansson is tough, she performed a lot of her own stunts in the first Avengers movie and said she left the set covered in bruises a lot of days. Johansson wanted to bring that same level of toughness on her new superhero movie Lucy, a film about a drug mule that gains super powers when she actually ingests the experimental drug she's trafficking. Well one stunt in the film has reportedly gave Johansson a big scare. In a scene where her character is being pursued, Johansson is meant to jump out of a moving car. Only her backpack got caught in the closing door as she was leaping out and she was dragged along for a little bit. "ScarJo started screaming for her life, the horrified driver slammed on the breaks and the vehicle came to a screeching halt," says The Belfast Telegraph, who added, "Filming was halted and a stunt double was brought in to complete the risky scene." Lucy is slated to open sometime next year and also stars Morgan Freeman (The Dark Knight Rises).

Geoff Johns DC TV

Reportedly, DC Entertainment want Geoff Johns writing less comic books and being more of an executive which is reportedly why he's pulling himself off titles like Green Lantern and Aquaman. He's also getting ready to wrap up his run on Forever Evil. But it looks as if he's going to pick up one more title in the New Year. Speaking to CBR, Johns stated, "I'm focused on wrapping up "Forever Evil" and I want to make "Justice League" the best it can possibly be, but there's a lot of stuff going on that's taking a lot of my time. I'm busy working on "The Flash" pilot, and "Arrow's" still going strong. There's obviously a lot of stuff brewing right now. Once we hit the new year, I don't know when it'll be talked about, but there's another book coming." Come on Geoff, we need you more on those Constantine, Flash, iZombie and Gotham tv projects.

Note to CBM'ers:

A Scarlett Johansson article is not a carte blanche for over sexualised imagery that is out of context for the article. Please keep it clean.

If there is a bunch of oversexualized images posted in this thread in the next few hours, I'm blaming it on you.

Lol!... thanks TheManFromMars, but be careful. Apparently disproportionately harassing me about that is nailbiter111's job (apparently). ^^

Why does Ruffalo have 221 at the end of his name? If we have the same birthday, I'm gonna freak the [frick] out!

I'm glad Johns' is working on the live action stuff. Hopefully this will lead to his involvement with the Green Lantern Reboot and possibly the Aquaman movie...that is if those 2 movies ever happen

The scene between 'Black Widow' and 'Hulk' on the Helicarrier was leaked last time....

Is izombie really on the radar for a new show? Does it really need the television treatment. I don't think Gotham is going to do that well. A tv show about a city that Batman lives in but never seen and takes place in the 70's doesn't sound to appealing.

@nova your birthday is on January 22nd? That's the day Heath Ledger died in 2008.

I would pay top-dollar to Netflix to see a live-action Amazing Spiderman TV series and Live action Hulk TV series with Ruffalo's Hulk. Good ole Spidey and Hulk back on late-night TV just like in the 1970's.

This movie will be fuking awesome. i hope something like this happens in the movie.

Thor: ULTRON! i shall have words with thee!
Ultron: Thor. Asgardian. Threat level..
Thor: Yield!
Ultron: Negative. For humanities extinction is at hand.
Thor: So be it! Then let us match strength for strength, and end this slaughter. We shall see who stands last machine!
Ultron: Illogical. For i have no equal, Thunderer. I am, however intrigued by your mortality. Allow me to determine if the claims of your divinity are accurate. *shoots laser out of mouth at thor*
Thor: *gets pushed back whilst blocking the beam with mjolnir then deflects it away. He then throws the hammer directly at ultrons chest plate, pushing ultron back some distance. mjolnir returns to thor.
Ultron: *counter attacks with null ray, but is deflected by mjlonir spinning in thors hand.*
Thor: *spinning the hammer he summons lightning to his hammer then sends it at ultron, who is unaffected, but is immediately smashed in the head by mjolnir in a leaping thors hand at full force, sending ultron flying some distance, creating a dent on ultrons face plate * "Tell me, has a machine like you ever experience fear?!" *the entire sky turns dark, with thunder and lighting filling the sky, he spins his hammer, then strikes the ground creating a maelstrom of lighting bolts on ultrons position*
Ultron: *from within the maelstrom attack, ultron emerges unscathed* "Fear. Insolent fool, I fear nothing asgardian!" *immediately shoots another mouth beam hitting mjolnir out of thors hand, and before thor can summon it back, ultron engages thor in a bloody fist fight. Ultron then launches a powerful beam at thor, thor summons mjlonir just in time, blocking but is being overwhelmed
Thor: HYAAARRGG !! "Do your worst machine, the son of odin....DOES NOT YIELD!! *thor staggers*
Ultron: *grabs his neck* "it appears the claims to your divinity were greatly exaggerated. I see how even a 'god' must fall before my unparalleled power!"
Hulk: *lands in the area* "unparalleled power?"

I'm not gonna say "serves her right" but I am gonna say leave stunts to the stunt doubles. That's what they are there for.
