Iron Man 3 screenwriter Drew Pearce clues is in on the origin behind one of Tony Stark's new auxiliary armors.





Alan Ritchson will be playing the feisty Raphael in Ninja Turtles and says the film will exceed your expectations.








A small update on the role of original Godzilla actor Akira Takarada in Gareth Edwards' reboot [via Dread Central].

Not that I have any confidence in Ninja Turtles, but Ritchson also starred on Blue Mountain State, on which he out-shined everyone else. I don't think his opinion here really changes my expectations, but I think Ritchson will be one of the few redeeming qualities the film presents.

@BboiBlack..

Did you expect The Avengers to have no CGI at all??? With Hulk and Iron Man they have to use VFX, there's no way around it -_-

The whole of New York for the final battle was CG. They were planning to use the real locations but there were concerns about smashing the half the city to shit. Apparently some people weren't cool with that.
