SUPERGIRL Feature Film Officially In Development At WB
Deadline‘s Mike Fleming Jr. confirmed on Monday that an adaptation of Supergirl is in the works at Warner Bros. News comes in the way of a new era at the studio with respect to its DC properties in the wake of its struggles after Justice League failed to impress at the box office in 2017. Otto Binder and Al Plastino launch the character via Action Comics in 1959 as the cousin of the titular root protagonist, “Superman”, who left doomed planet Krypton as a teen. Actress Helen Slater portrayed the character in Jeannot Szwarc’s 1984 film prior to its 2007 television rendition through the hit series, Smallville, and its current serial run on CBS featuring actress Melissa Benoist. Oren Uziel, whose credirs include 22 Jump Street and The Cloverfield Paradox, as well as the in-production Sonic The Hedgehog and producer James Wan’s Mortal Kombat, is penning the script with a […]
NERD DOWN PART I: The Dark Ages
The biggest divide among comic fans is the age old “DC Vs Marvel” debate. This feud – I never quite understood it. If you like comics, then why does the publisher matter? Sports fans and comic geeks aren’t so different as they fight over which “team” is better. I am going to break down this long lived feud from my perspective using something I know about, film! It’s impossible to avoid comic book movies these days with several coming out a year; that being said, I’m going to split this up into several posts. Let’s call this first one the BB Age or Before Blade. Yes, that’s right; I credit Blade as kicking it off, and not X-Men. Ignoring the serials and TV pilots, the first real comic book film was made by DC. Superman I, II, & III – 1978, 1980, and 1983 My Opinion – I: Good for […]
CBS's SUPERGIRL Gets Seven More Episodes For Its First Season
Well, it’s been a definitive season of superhero fandom and the premiere of the new CBS installation of DC Comics property, Supergirl, certainly fits the mold. The show’s progress following its premiere back in October has led it to fruition as one of the highest rated and most-watched shows of the season, and so CBS is now ordering seven more for a total of 20 episodes for its first season. Actress Melissa Benoist stars in the title role, distant from her much more popular male cousin who discovers herself in the wake of Krypton’s destruction. Mehcad Brooks, Chyler Leigh and Jeremy Jordan with David Harewood and Calista Flockhart also star in the series created and executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler, Andrew Kreisberg and Sarah Schechter in association with Warner Bros. Television.
Check Out Some Pics From #SDCC2015!
The Comic-Con uproar has since fizzled from last weekend’s electricity over many of the gems that fans got to view and observe. Simultaneously, with the event being one of the biggest, it’s also something I currently don’t get to attend since distance is reigning factor in that regard, and for this, I was kindly met with an opportunity by independent filmmaker Mark Anthony Gadia, a friend in the area who managed to visit the event for a few days and was willing to snap a few detailed and up-close photos of a few of the booths and their various exhibits, namely Legendary’s Warcraft scenery, costumes on full display for several WB/DC Entertainment properties, a quick pic of Marvel’s Agent Carter series star, actress Peggy Atwell, and more. Granted it’s been four days since I got these and I haven’t had the time to work on editing this post, but I […]
CBS's SUPERGIRL Lands A Premiere Date!
Perhaps some of the biggest news that took up most of the last few months revolved around all things coming to television between now and 2016. As such, the Fall line-up has been quite the talk and with particular regard to the upcoming pilot premiere of CBS’s one-hour per episode series adaptation of DC Comics character, Supergirl. No need for those who probably already saw the pilot when it was leaked online last month, thought it would still be pretty neat for fans to help support it and promote through its better-quality viewing on television. That said, THR has listed the several dates and showtimes of various programs with its Thursday Night Football airing as its springboard, and Supergirl now has a date set for Monday, October 26 at 8:30pm EST/7:30pm Central, followed by Mondays at 8:00pm EST/7:00pm Central on November 2. SUPERGIRL is an action-adventure drama based on the […]
CBS's SUPERGIRL Lands With A Short Trailer
Following Wednesday’s first look, a new short trailer is out for the Fall premiere of CBS’s new TV series, Supergirl. Actress Melissa Benoist takes on the lead carrying her home planet’s symbol of hope apart from her much more known cousin, and it will undoubtedly get the hardcore fanbase to pay attention, however which way you feel about the series. Granted, if this short trailer happens to be YOUR first look, then consider yourself lucky. It takes on a slightly more serious tone with a little bit more superswag, and in my opinion, this should have happened yesterday. Check it out below! And yes, I wrote the word “superswag”. You’re welcome.
CBS's SUPERGIRL Takes Flight In A New Extended First Look!
Aside from the current expectations preset by Warner Bros. in the wake of all hype for its current theatrical slate, the DC Comics realm of television has a bit of a thing going for itself with all of its properties whether active or in developments, one of them being CBS’s Fall programming slate with the inclusion of the new series, Supergirl. The network just released a six-minute first look into the series which casts Melissa Benoist in an Ally McBeal-ish setting that no less seems fitting for television and a notable nod to actress Calista Flockhart who plays the dragon lady who rules the office. Coming-of-age comedy, young-adult romance and quirky sisterly chemistry are what we get here, layered on top of the grim danger and rising threat-level that comes with the task of being Superman’s cousin. It’s no Man Of Steel, but for an industry and a genre with […]
