X-Men Director Bryan Singer accused of raping a teenage boy.

This is a pretty strange news story. Is it true? Maybe. Is it false? More than likely. Especially since this is something that happened back in 1999 and the victim is just now getting around to legal action, right before Bryan Singer's new X-Men movie comes out. How convenient. Here are the details from the case.

The plaintiff, Michael Egan, claims he was 17 when Singer forcibly sodomized him, among other allegations. Egan’s lawyers, led by Jeff Herman, allege that Singer provided him with drugs and alcohol and flew him to Hawaii on more than one occasion in 1999. His suit claims battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy by unreasonable intrusion, and it seeks unspecified damages.

Sony and Fox teaming up to bring Spider-Man into the X-Men?

Is this a sign of big things to come? We all know that sitting through all of the credits of Marvel films always leaves us with a huge tease of future Marvel movies, but this is somewhat odd.

It seems that after The Amazing Spider-Man 2 credits have finished rolling, we will then be treated to a post credits sequence leading into, X-Men: Days of Futures Past. What's so odd about this is that Spider-Man is a Sony film, all rights to him are owned by them. And X-Men is a Fox property. Why would rival studios be promoting each others films if a crossover isn't in the cards for the future? It could mean big business for both studios if they have decided to play nice together and do this. Seeing Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and X-Men all together in one movie would be huge. Now if only Sony and Fox would be nice and team up with Disney to bring the Avengers into the fold, wow.

So what are your thoughts on this? Do you think we can expect to see Spider-Man pop up in X-Men: Apocalypse?

Behold! The final trailer for X-Men: Days of Futures Past!

Bryan Singer himself just sent out a simple tweet with a link. I clicked and what popped up was the final trailer for X-Men: Days of Futures Past!

What are your thoughts on this one? Personally, I'm not too big on the X-Men movies. I loved First Class, the first two were alright, the third was awful, and I'm still waiting on a good Wolverine movie to come along. Bryan Singer back at the helm doesn't do a whole lot for me. It's cool and all but, Superman Returns. Yeah. Anyways, check it out!


Paul Walker's brothers to help out with Fast & Furious 7

The following was released today from the production team from Fast & Furious 7.

A Note to the Fans of FAST & FURIOUS

The FAST & FURIOUS saga is about family. The characters are connected by the bond of family, and it is how all of us who have worked together for more than thirteen years feel about each other. It certainly defines how we feel about our fans.

Our family experienced an unthinkable shock in November. We had to take time to grieve Paul, the brother we love and lost, and to figure out if we should move on with our film.

V/H/S Director Heads To Camp Crystal Lake!

David Bruckner, the director of the 'Amateur Night' segment from V/H/S is in negotiations to helm the next Friday the 13th! This is awesome news as rumors swirl that the new Friday the 13th reboot, remake, rewhatever, is looking to take on the found footage craze that has been blowing up the box office in recent years.

Or are you just happy to see Jason Voorhees back up on the big screen? I'm happy with all of the above. And if you have yet to check out V/H/S, stop what you're doing and fix that right away!
