So there I was, still tingly from the geek-mental-coitus that was witnessing the mid-end-credits scene in The Avengers, but still doing my jittery best to stay glued to my seats. The reason for my fixed position? Well, see there was all that talk about all the principal cast being called back to shoot an additional scene, which many – like …

Welcome to The Extras! A daily dose of all the smaller movie related news, clips and just plain cool stuff that you might have missed!

Blockbusters and summer tent-poles are a common feature now in the world of movies, with their massive budgets and big name stars usually raking in tons of cash. Usually. Of course everyone wants a piece of that pie, and unless you have a door wedged firmly in place for the merchandising meeting,none of that green is coming your way. Or …

There is a trend currently in Hollywood that is driving me positively loco. No, I’m not talking hack job 3D conversions or Channing Tatum’s abs being cast in everything. No, I’m referring to teaser trailers for full length trailers, my ire for which has been been well documented on this site. So when I read the headline proclaiming that Expendables …

Bah! Vampire films, they think they’re so awesome with their gothic, glittery take on the supernatural, attracting tween audiences and driving a wooden stake into the heart of the genre! Which is why I love Vampire-Hunting films. There haven’t been too many of those recently, with the last really high profile big budget flick being the Stephen Sommers guilty pleasure, …

It should be no surprise that The Avengers have done well all over the world, but here in mostly sunny SA, they’ve really made a Mjolnir-shaped impact. The film has been sold out since its launch, and while the rest of the global figures are impressive so far, it’s the box office breaking records on our local silver and 3D …

If there was one breakout star in The Avengers, it would have to be the rather credible hulk performance from Mark Ruffalo. The actor managed to nail a pretty damn good convincing portrayal of ol’ jade jaws, from his quiet, ticking time-bomb nature as scientist Bruce Banner, to his full rage work when he strapped on a motion capture suit …

Warning: Viewing the following posters will result in a severe intake of pure, undiluted machismo through the viewer’s optic nerve. Side effects may include spontaneous growth of body and facial hair, deepening of voice and the uncontrollable urge to make a gigantic fire and cook on it a slab of meat, bigger than your head, using nothing but your bare …

Now let’s be clear here, this all still firmly entrenched in the realm of hearsay. (This is looking very likely now. See update below!) These particular pieces of gossip comes to us via AICN who got their info via an unnamed, yet (according to them) very plausible source. If these rumours do turn out to be true though, then chances …

Just a single day after we got a viral teaser, unexpectedly dropping in from out of nowhere like… well, Batman actually, comes this third and final trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. Just like the entirety of the promotional campaign for Chistopher Nolan’s final installation in his Caped Crusader trilogy, the new trailer is a bit of slow burn, but …

I really enjoyed Chronicle. Like, a lot. And I very rarely start sentences with “Like” so you know I’m serious. Newcomer director Josh Trank and screenwriter Max Landis, arrived on the scene out of nowhere, turning both the super hero and found footage genre conventions on their silly costumed and over-exposed heads, to ,much acclaim. At last estimates, the meagre $12 …
