| THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Runtime Clocks In At Over Two Hours? - Stark Industries RU has been a very reliable source of information in the past (they gave us our first look at the Lizard in the form of concept art and frequently release new images and artwork before anyone else) and they have today taken to their Twitter account to reveal that the runtime of The Amazing Spider-Man is just under two and a half hours! Of course, we are currently searching to find out where this information originated from, so stay tuned to CBM for further updates.
OFFICIAL runtime of The Amazing Spider-Man is 136 minutes!— Stark Industries Ru (@Ultimate_SI) May 23, 2012
Of course, if this accurate it's great news for anyone who was worried that those reports of a 90 minute runtime were the real deal. As the track list for The Amazing Spider-Man's soundtrack revealed last night (find that HERE) it would appear as if director Marc Webb is going |

| 4 New (Low-Res) Stills From THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - Here we have a few interesting low-res pics from Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. Some are just variations on images or shots from the trailers we have already seen, but that top one with Batman and Catwoman might end up being pretty spoilerific..
Still not to sure where these came from, but they were posted by our own Black Widow on Twitter. Hopefully we will figure out their origin and get some better versions up asap.
Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ "The Dark Knight Rises" is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. The screenplay is written by Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven, who previously teamed on “Batman Begins” and the record-breaking blockbuster "The Dark Knight." The executive producers are Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Kevin De La Noy |
| Track List For THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Soundtrack Reveals Plot Spoilers - The John Williams Fan Network has revealed the track list from Sony Classical's upcoming release of James Horner's The Amazing Spider-Man soundtrack. As well as perhaps offering up a few plot details, it also gives us a very rough idea of the structure of the movie. It confirms that Uncle Ben dies (halfway through the film?!) despite recent speculation that he, well, doesn't. Presumably, "I Can’t See You Anymore" refers to the fact that Peter and Gwen break up. What it also appears to show us is that both Spider-Man and the Lizard don't appear until perhaps a little later in the movie than any of us may have originally expected. Of course, this track list - which runs to roughly 75 minutes - doesn't lay out the entire film, so who knows whether or not that really is the case? Check it out for yourselves below and sound off with |

| EXCLUSIVE: Barry Sonnenfeld Comments On MEN IN BLACK 3 Deleted Scenes - Featurettes and audio commentaries are all well and good, but if there's one thing that movie lovers now like to keep an eye out for when the DVD/Blu-ray is released, it's deleted scenes. Sometimes they're pointless, and other times, it's hard to understand why on Earth they weren't included in the final cut. Men in Black 3 moves along very briskly, and while it doesn't exactly feel as if there's anything missing, I couldn't help but ask director Barry Sonnenfeld whether or not we should expect any extra scenes when the film is made available on disc.
"There were very few scenes that didn't make the cut. Most of the stuff we cut out, we cut out at script stage. There are a few little scenes, but nothing that's hugely different."
With something of an unorthodox production (work on Men in Black 3 was halted at the halfway point so that they |

| Tuesday Q&A: Jeph Loeb -
By Jim Beard Jeph Loeb knows his bruisers and bashers. Taking on AVX: VS this June and the return of Sabretooth come July in WOLVERINE, the writer’s proving his mettle once more in handling Marvel’s biggest brawlers, a skill he honed to perfection during his run on HULK and his time in the Ultimate Universe. We caught up with Loeb to toss him a few questions on the character of Logan, the scrappy mutant’s long history with Sabretooth and the bone-crushing battle between the ever-lovin’ Thing and the X-Men’s Colossus in AVX: VS #3, on sale June 13.
Marvel.com: Jeph, what’s it like handling a character like Wolverine? What do you see in him? Jeph Loeb: Wolverine is a lot of fun to write. He’s this incredible tough and dangerous man who is very much a romantic hero. There’s a lot of Clint Eastwood in there; few words and you don’t want to mess with him! Marvel.com: How would you compare and contrast The Hulk and Wolverine? Is Logan an angry character, or is he just misunderstood? Jeph Loeb: When you’re dealing with The Hulk there’s an enormous amount of power at stake. He is, literally, the strongest there is—and at the same time there’s a tragic loneliness to him. Wolverine, on the other hand, is more of a scrapper—he gets right into it, more hand to hand—and is not afraid to splatter a little blood here and there. And despite his reputation as a loner, he continually finds himself in the position of defending his extended family of mutants, friends and X-people. Marvel.com: Some creators never get the chance to finish an opus or major storyline; what does it mean to you, as a writer, to come back to Wolverine and Sabretooth and complete such a big tale? Jeph Loeb: I’m incredibly grateful to Head Honcho Axel Alonso, X-Men Supremo Nick Lowe and our own editorial X-Goddess Jeanine Schaefer who stood on the wall around the X-Men franchise and beat back the creative hordes who wanted to bring back Sabretooth while they waited for Simone [Bianchi] and I to be available. More than anything that’s what is rare: not so much that we had the desire but that Marvel enabled us to have the opportunity. Marvel.com: How do you define the role that Sabretooth plays in Logan's life? After all the water under that bridge, what will you say about their relationship in the coming months?
Jeph Loeb: They are two sides of the same dark coin. When you look at Sabretooth, he’s very much the road not taken for Logan and yet, they find themselves continually intertwined. Where Creed has been and what he’s learned while he’s been gone will play an important role in what’s to come. Marvel.com: This return to Wolverine is not just you and the character, but also you and Simone re-establishing a creative team; how does that feel? Jeph Loeb: We certainly have more of a short hand—having worked with someone as much as we have that was bound to happen—but his energy is so boundless that it’s inspiring. Simone is so talented and the pages are so pretty you can’t believe that anyone is working in comics with such detail and mastery. He’s so remarkable. Marvel.com: Avengers Vs. X-Men is really burning up the comic racks; in your opinion, who is right, Captain America or Cyclops? And why? Jeph Loeb: This is going to sound like a wimpy answer but they both are! What makes a Marvel event so frickin’ cool is that the heroes aren’t just black and white; they all have a point of view and it’s up to you to decide who is right—or who is less wrong! Marvel.com: AVX: VS #3. The Thing and Colossus. Two huge powerhouses. What’s the coolest thing for you and artist Ed McGuinness in creating a memorable fight between the two? Jeph Loeb: What Ed and I love about the VS concept is that it’s fun. We have the moon; we have these two bruisers—now uncork the fun. We hope we did that.
Marvel.com: Beyond the bulk, what if any is the common philosophical ground between a Yancy Streeter and a Russian? Jeph Loeb: Two different types altogether. But...as monsters...there may be a connection! Marvel.com: Why do you think we gravitate towards big super hero battles? What do you feel it says about us as comic fans? Jeph Loeb: Uh, that it’s awesome?! We’re so invested in the larger than life characters who also have very real world underpinnings that like with any competition—we want someone to win—and still care about the other side’s plight. Marvel.com: Okay, now as a fan, what kinds of Marvel fights really set your imagination on fire? Jeph Loeb: Anytime the Thing and The Hulk throw down, I’m so there. It’s best of the best; two big smashers who, at the end of the day, have big hearts.
