— by BEN FOWLER — A new, regular feature here at IJM will be my thoughts and opinions on how I would handle a particular movie property or franchise that is filming or in some stage of development. To begin with, I thought I’d discuss how I would sculpt the perfect Captain America film[...]

Evolution of New ‘X-Men’ Movie Continues
— by CAM SMITH — Now that the “Captain America” casting whirlwind has settled down, and allowed the internet to temporarily experience a moment of rare calm, it’s about time for some other geek property to whip everyone up into a shark-like feeding frenzy anew. I know, how about[...]
Chris Evans Agrees to Wield Captain America’s Shield
— by ALEXA MILAN — It’s official: Chris Evans is Captain America. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed today that Evans has accepted the title role in Marvel’s “The First Avenger: Captain America.” Evans was offered the role last week, but it wasn’t known whether he would accept[...]
Report: Chris Evans Offered Captain America
— by SEAN GERSKI — There was a period there for a few days where I was heavily invested in the casting of Captain America role. That time passed around the time of the 400th “exclusive” story listing those who were in the running for the role. I really don’t want to rep[...]
Who’s Up for Captain America? Better Question: Who Isn’t?
— by CAM SMITH — Yeegads, is this whole “First Avenger: Captain America” casting situation turning into a confusing muddle of titanic proportions, or what? It would probably be easier, at this point, for me to simply name young male actors not rumoured to be donning the[...]
Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull? We Approve
— by CAM SMITH — I figured out at an awfully-young age that a hero is only as good as his villains, and that the latter are usually way cooler. This tried-and-true piece of knowledge largely informed my childhood idolization of The Joker, Boba Fett, Darth Vader and the James Bond villain[...]
About That ‘Thor’ Movie …
— by CAM SMITH — I was never much of a “Thor” enthusiast in my formative years. Though I could appreciate the visual delights and imagination of his elaborately-scaled universe, and the villainous Loki and formidable Absorbing Man, the comic’s heavy emphasis on quasi-Shakespearean [...]
Krasinski ‘Close to Landing’ Captain America Role
— by SEAN GERSKI — As the names of those actors up for Captain America continue to fall by the wayside — previously-reported candidates Scott Porter and Michael Cassidy have announced they did not get the gig — and as new names jump up — Dane Cook, Jonas Brothers —[...]
Trailer Talk: ‘Iron Man 2’ (Version Two)
— by CAM SMITH — Some may gripe and impotently wave their fists, but I’m really appreciating the fact that Jon Favreau and his marketing team are showing an admirable amount of restraint thus far in selling “Iron Man 2” to the public masses. Usually, when it comes to summer[...]
Is John Krasinski Captain America?
— by SEAN GERSKI — On Monday, I heard from someone in the industry that John Krasinski (who plays Jim on “The Office”) was a more-than-legit candidate to play Captain America and, admittedly, I had to let the idea sink in. I really like Krasinski. He’s a great-looking g[...]
About That Next ‘Blade’ Movie …
— by CAM SMITH — The 21st century has not been kind to Wesley Snipes. Despite being groomed for super-stardom in the ’90s, and cast in hugely marketable studio vehicles like “Rising Sun,” “White Men Can’t Jump,” “Demolition Man” and “Passenger 57,” as of late[...]
Has An ‘Awesome’ Choice Been Made for Captain America?
— by BEN FOWLER — Who has been, reportedly, in the frame for the Captain America role? A better question might be who HASN’T been up for the role. The winged mask of the star-spangled Avenger is one that most of the cream of Hollywood’s leading, and up-and-coming men, have been[...]
Under Review: ‘Planet Hulk’
— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — The Hulk has had the privilege of having been the subject of more DVD movies than any other Marvel character. With “Hulk vs. Thor” and “Hulk vs. Wolverine” just released last year, it is impressive that they have now released “Planet[...]
