Recently, Duke Nukem Forever was released. As everyone knows, this game was in development for so long, that it was feared to be canceled at one point. With the lukewarm reception the game has received, it might as well have been canceled. However, not all games are fortunate enough to see a release, let alone after this long. The following is a list of releases that never made it off the cutting room floor. BTW, this list does not include ports or translations of games that were canceled, just games that were canceled completely, so you can miss me with the emails about why the Dreamcast version of Shenmue 2 isn’t on here.

Disney announced today that July 26, 2013 will be the expected release date for Thor 2. Chris Hemsworth is reportedly on board for the sequel, but Kenneth Branagh will not be returning as director. Branagh will most likely be involved in some “producing capacity” according to Deadline.

The summer of 2013 will be a busy summer for Marvel Studios with Iron Man 3 already scheduled for May 3rd.

Legendary comic book artist Gene Colan passed away last night at the age of 84. He is best know for his work at Marvel on Daredevil, Howard the Duck, and Tomb of Dracula. Just last year Colan won the Eisner Award for Best Single Issue in 2010 for his work on Captain American #601.

Our condolences to his friends and family. Let us know your favorite work or memories of Colan in the comments.

This new trailer for Cap focuses strongly on Steve Rogers pre-transformation. The effects to make Chris Evans not only skinny, but short, are really impressive. He’s almost hobbit sized.

“Forty Six & 2” by Tool is used to great effect. A really amazing tune by an amazing band, the movement of the music kicks in right as Steve is revealed and there are hints of some good fights in the second half of the trailer. And because we need to be beaten over the head with the Marvel cinematic universe, Howard Stark (Tony’s father) is featured and named in this trailer too.

An HD version of the trailer is being hosted by Yahoo.

Why isn’t this movie opening on July 4 for the US Independence day? Will you see it?

The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Fox has hired Fringe writer and producer Brad Caleb Kane to write the script for a Daredevil reboot. Kane has been hired to adapt Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s “Born Again” story from Miller’s run on Daredevil. The attention for this reboot likely comes from the success of Fox’s relaunch of the X-Men movie fanchise with X-Men: First Class.

David Slade will be directing the new Daredevil movie, with Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark producing it. According to THR one of the reasons Kane got the job writing the movie is because he is a huge Daredevil fan and has passion for the project.

Let us know what you think of this development in the comments.

Since the alphabet is the building block of our language, the Powet Alphabet is the building block of what makes us geeks.

Rocky Balboa has Apollo Creed. Superman has Lex Luthor. Wolverine has Sabertooth. Batman has the Joker. 50 Cent has Ja Rule. Tupac Shakur has Biggie Smalls. Barack Obama has Sarah Palin.

If popular media has taught us anything, it’s that every hero worth their salt has an equal, but opposite adversary to fight, and so it was for Spider-man. A simple mistake made sometime ago would come back to bite him in the ass in a major way. Not only would this mistake spawn one of the greatest Spider-man villains ever, it would lead to the emergence of a second, along with even more extraterrestrial nightmares.

Isaiah Mustafa, the man who took the nation by storm in a series of very clever Old Spice commercials, has been very vocal about wanting Marvel comics to consider him as Luke Cage in a future movie.

Now taking matters into his own hands, Mustafa appears to have financed the production of a trailer for this non-existant film. Marvel has over the last several years put Luke Cage as a lower priority as it established its Avengers series, but has stated that smaller films about Dr Strange and other less mainstream characters are possible next. Luke Cage would fit in that perfectly, and would be an excellent addition to a future Avengers movie for a cameo.

Theres no doubt that if internet buzz takes over, Marvel will at least consider Mustafa for the role. So does this trailer convince you as it should convince Marvel?

Of course Marvel has already cast Mustafa as Luke Cage once… [Read the rest of this entry…]
