A few words on screen, no dialog and a little peek of action, all set to new music from Marty O’Donnell.

Noble Team’s last stand on the doomed planet Reach begins September 14.

Update: Unfortunatly, the video is being removed at the request of Marvel/Paramount from various sources. Please refer to our Thor discussion thread at our forums to see if a fellow Powet member has a link if the above video goes dead.

This trailer was apparently played in the SDCC 2010 panel for the Thor movie. We’ve updated with a better source.

This is a very long trailer. Titanic long. Enjoy! Thor release May 2011 with Chris Hemsworth in the lead role. Also prominently featured in this trailer is Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson of SHIELD.

Word had it that we would be seeing some of the first pictures of Masterpiece Rodimus Prime this weekend because it would be on display as an unpainted prototype at a large Transformers convention in China called Transformers CybertronCon. Sure enough, the convention is being setup right now and some helpful fans in attendance snapped some pictures. You can see those pictures and many more from the convention setup here. Check out that thread because there are some other neat things on display including a gold lucky draw Brave Maximus among other things.

As for Rodimus, the pictures of the robot look fantastic. The trailer is leaving me a little disappointed. I was really hoping they would do more with it than just make it bigger, but there isn’t much to go on just yet with these photos. We’ll know more as we get it.

  

A while back DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns teased onTwitter that a test reel of a proposed live action Blue Beetle series existed and that he might show it at San Diego ComiCon. Here a few days after the con, the footage is online. What do you think?

Johns did promise we’ll see Blue Beetle on TV soon. He’s writing another episode of Smallville, now in its final season, that will feature the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle. The same episode will feature long time BB cohort Booster Gold. It is certainly possible with Smallville finally ending that CW may try to spin some of the great DC characters they’ve had on the series into their own shows.

As for what a Ted Kord Blue Beetle and Booster Gold show would be like, might I suggest…

UGO.com spent a little time with Avatar: The Last Airbender creators, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. They grilled them on some details about the upcoming Nickelodeon series. Here are some highlights from the article:

The show will be a mini-series with little to no filler episodes with the two creators writing each episode.
We will see Aang in the show, but it sounds like he won’t be alive, which shouldn’t be a surprise.
They are sticking to having only one avatar alive at a time (which is good because thats central to the mythos)
Aang’s son, Tenzin, will be in the show (We know this from the release, he’ll be the airbending teacher for Korra)
Katara is, indeed, the mother of Aang’s son.
Airbenders will be under persecution in a way.
The story will not center around a war, but a different type of conflict.
Cheesy teen romance? Check.

Thats about it. For the full article, you can go here.
