Christopher Nolan is trying his best to keep the details for "The Dark Knight Rises" under wraps but a group of "Cape Crusader" fans in India have managed to snap a few pics and get the skinny on some scenes recently shot in Jodhpur, India.

"Eyewitnesses and crew members told us of a particular scene being filmed, where a bald-headed child wearing ragged clothes emerges from the well and pulls his hood over his head. From the conversations, we reckon this is a young Bane, emerging from a vat of Venom, trained by Pence's Ra's al Ghul. The years of addiction to Venom builds him to be a massive monster with amped up senses, intelligence and physical prowess."

Not much, but it's something.

Production has commenced today in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated movie “Marvel’s The Avengers,” directed by Joss Whedon (“Serenity”) from a screenplay by Whedon. The film will continue principal photography in Cleveland, Ohio and New York City. Robert Downey Jr. (“Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2”) returns as the iconic Tony Stark/Iron Man along with Chris Hemsworth (“Thor”) as Thor, Chris Evans (“Captain America: The First Avenger”) as Captain America, Jeremy Renner (“Thor,” “The Hurt Locker”) as Hawkeye, Mark Ruffalo (“The Kids Are Alright”) as Hulk, Scarlett Johansson (“Iron Man 2”) as Black Widow, Clark Gregg (“Iron Man,” “Thor”) as Agent Phil Coulson, and Samuel L. Jackson (“Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2”) as Nick Fury. Set for release in the US on May 4, 2012, “Marvel’s The Avengers” is the first feature to be fully owned, marketed and distributed by Disney, which acquired Marvel in 2009.

Continuing the epic big-screen adventures started in “Iron Man,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “Iron Man 2,” “Thor,” and “Captain America: The First Avenger,” “Marvel’s The Avengers” is the Super Hero team up of a lifetime. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as SHIELD, finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster.

Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series, first published in 1963, “Marvel’s The Avengers” brings together the mightiest Super Hero characters as they all assemble together on screen for the first time. The star studded cast of Super Heroes will be joined by Cobie Smulders (“How I Met Your Mother) as Agent Maria Hill of SHIELD, as well as Tom Hiddleston (“Wallander”) and Stellan Skarsgård (“Angels & Demons,” “Mamma Mia!”) who will both reprise their respective roles as Loki and Professor Erik Selvig from the upcoming Marvel Studios’ feature “Thor.”

“Marvel’s The Avengers” is being produced by Marvel Studios' President, Kevin Feige, and executive produced by Alan Fine, Stan Lee, Louis D’Esposito, Patty Whitcher, and Jon Favreau. Marvel Studios’ Jeremy Latcham and Victoria Alonso will co-produce.

The creative production team also includes Oscar® nominated director of photography Seamus McGarvey (“Atonement”), production designer James Chinlund (“25^th Hour”), Oscar winning costume designer Alexandra Byrne (“Elizabeth: The Golden Age”), Oscar winning visual effects supervisor Janek Sirrs (“Iron Man 2,” “The Matrix”), visual effects producer Susan Pickett (“Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2”), stunt coordinator R.A. Rondell (“Superman Returns”), and four-time Oscar nominated special effects supervisor Dan Sudick (“Iron Man,” “War of the Worlds”). The editors include Oscar nominated Paul Rubell (“Collateral”) and Jeffrey Ford (“Crazy Heart”).

Marvel Studios most recently produced “Iron Man 2” which was released in theatres on May 7, 2010. The sequel to “Iron Man,” starring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow as well as Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson and Mickey Rourke, took the number one spot its first weekend with a domestic box office gross of $128.1 million. To date the film has earned over $620 million in worldwide box office receipts.

In the summer of 2008, Marvel produced the summer blockbuster movies, “Iron Man” and “The Incredible Hulk.” “Iron Man,” in which Robert Downey Jr. originally dons the Super Hero’s powerful armor alongside co-stars Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow, was released May 2, 2008 and was an immediate box office success. Garnering the number one position for two weeks in a row, the film brought in over $100 million its opening weekend and grossed over $571 million worldwide. On June 13, 2008, Marvel released “The Incredible Hulk” marking its second number one opener of that summer. The spectacular revival of the iconic green goliath grossed over $250 million in worldwide box office receipts.

Adrianne Palicki Is The New Wonder Woman

Written By: Ken Hulsey
Source: WENN

The young and rather obscure actress Adrianne Palicki has managed to do something that many actresses with bigger names and touted careers could not, land the coveted role of "Wonder Woman".

Palicki (Friday Night Lights / Legion) will now be stepping into Lynda Carter's shoes and taking on a role that the actress made into a pop-culture icon in the late 1970s. The part, however, will not be for a major motion picture, which had been rumored for some time, but for a TV movie that will serve as a pilot for a television series.

Warner Bros had been trying to get a big-budget "Wonder Woman" movie off the ground for several years but could never seem to be able to assemble the right creative team to make it work. Not, that the studio didn't have actresses lined up around the block jonesing for the part. Just about every femme fatal in Hollywood that remotely looked the part had their agents blazing up the Warner's switchboard. The list of Diana Prince wanna-bees included Jennifer Love Hewitt, Anna Friel, Jessica Biel, Katie Holmes, Megan Fox, Eliza Dushku and singer Beyonce Knowles.

Who did Lynda Carter endorse to replace her? Eliza Dushku, but the choice wasn't Carter's to make. Now the young Adrianne Palicki will have her shot and resurrecting an iconic role a task that should prove rather difficult. Carter is so recognized as "Wonder Woman" that even DC comics has endeavored to make their artwork resemble her.

Action Adventure. In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Scarlett Johansson To Go Solo As The BLACK WIDOW

It was already a forgone conclusion that busty actress Scarlett Johansson would be poured into the vinyl once again to reprise her role as the Black Widow in the upcoming "Avengers" movie. What was not expected were Marvel Studios' plans to give the actress her own superhero franchise.

Marvel has just announced that after the release of "The Avengers" in 2012, Johansson and her sexy superspy character will be given their own series of films.

Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, announced at a press event this week, "We've already started discussions with Scarlett about the idea of a solo movie and have begun putting together concepts, but "The Avengers" comes first."

As most of you know, Johansson made quite a splash playing the Black Widow this past summer in "Iron Man 2" and will join Robert Downey, Jr., Samuel L. Jackson and Mark Ruffalo in "The Avengers"

The curvy actress is reportedly ecstatic about playing the character again, and she feels more than ready to the role to the next level in a solo outing, remarking, "(I) would be happy to don the cat suit again and, you know, carry the torch"

Rachel Grubb Appears In New Web Comic Series “A Life Behind The Mask”

Source: Rachel Grubb (Press Release)

“A Life Behind The Mask” is a comedic look at heroes and villains as they go about their lives in and out of their masks and capes, as they go about the same trials and tribulations of everyday occurrences as we all do except they approach things a little differently than most of us.

The web series will rotate around a different super hero and villain every month as they deal with their everyday lives in and out of their alter egos and try to manage a variety of everyday events in their own unique way and approach.

The series will feature a variety of women throughout the entertainment world that span the spectrum of models, actresses, and scream queens; Comic Book Divas will feature the likeness of the women to bring the characters personalities to life.
Well known B movie poster artist Dennis Willman is drawing and coloring the web series, Dennis Willman’s art style brings a believable look to the characters this plus the added aspect of the women lending their likenesses adds to the realism of the heroes and villains in “A Life Behind The Mask”.

Dennis Willman has worked on a host of movie projects and worked with many of today’s top scream queens including April Burril, Bianca Barnett, Elske McCain, Scarlet Salem, and many more.

Rachel Grubb is a actress, producer, writer, and director; she has been in the movie and horror industry for many years; she is credited with several projects ranging from in front and in back of the camera.

Rachel Grubb can be seen in such movies as; “Horror House”, “Tales Of The Dead”, “Horror Vault”, “Camp Kill”, she is also in the upcoming “Bad Girls Burn In Hell” and “Scream Queen Campfire”; .in addition Rachel Grubb is also owner of Silent But Deadly productions.

Rachel Grubb portrays “Jolly” She is the clown that enjoys the fact that she can scare you and your kids at parties and the circus, Jolly also has a twisted sense of humor and while she is criminal she has a odd sense of justice.

The character of Jolly is, of course, a play on Harley Quinn and the Joker. Instead of symmetrical patterns I went with offset loops and odd shapes to create the jester motif.

The horns are indeed a nod to Harley Quinn, but their design is a nod to Tim Curry’s portrayal of The Lord of Darkness.

The photo reference of Rachel was a very intense, semi-evil shot that reminded me of how Tim Curry can express death on wheels with a smile.

Rachel can emote like he does, so her face make-up was made to resemble the make-up Curry wore as Pennywise in “IT.” Her fishnet stockings are from a template that I created a few years back that can be distorted and warped to match the shape of the legs (I think I created it for a Ginger-Stein illustration…).

The trick is “mucking up” the template to match the pencil work and the painting of the composition. The balloons are another nod to Pennywise, and I hope the character comes off as fun and unique, yet scary in her own right.

Comic Book/Web Comic, and Rachel Grubb fans will enjoy the latest installment of Rachel Grubb portrayal of “Jolly”; fans are also able to buy Rachel Grubb’s prints that feature the actress as her character that features art work by Dennis Willman.

X-Men Psylocke Bishoujo Statue:

The sultry Psylocke!
Betsy Braddock is as stunning as ever!
Statue shows the deadly mutant warrior in bishoujo style.
Based on character art by famed illustrator Shunya Yamashita!
Exclusive X-Men logo base.

Psylocke is a warrior woman to the core, striking a deadly pose with twin Japanese swords at the ready. The alluring curves of her body are accentuated by her skimpy, skin-tight costume that leaves little to the imagination, and the high-heeled boots that draw attention to her shapely legs. As Psylocke twists to face her foes, her long hair fans out behind her, surrounding her beautiful bishoujo-styled facial sculpt. The sexy mutant's bright-blue costume and purple hair nicely offset her pale skin. Standing about 7 4/5-inches tall in 1:8 scale, Psylocke was sculpted by Yu Ishii. Packaged in an attractive window box with an exclusive X-Men logo base, the deadly mutant is constructed of high-quality plastic. Shouldn't she already be in your collection?

Once a British woman with minor mutant powers, Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock's mind was transferred into the body of a ninja, giving her additional martial arts prowess. A long-time member of the X-Men, Psylocke now stars in her very own comic book series. Here, the mutant heroine is presented for the first time in the Japanese bishoujo (pretty girl) style based on original character art by illustrator Shunya Yamashita.

Former BUFFY And TORCHWOOD Stars Return To TV In SyFy's THREE INCHES

Source: NBC Universal (Press Release)

Syfy’s "Three Inches' has added an all-star cast to the 90-minute pilot, starring Noah Reid (Strange Days at Blake Holsey High). James Marsters (Smallville, Caprica, Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Andrea Martin (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, SCTV Network), Stephanie Jacobsen (Melrose Place, Battlestar Galactica: Razor), Antony Del Rio (The Super Hero Squad Show), Naoko Mori (Torchwood), Kyle Schmid (Blood Ties) and Brandon Jay McLaren (TRON: Legacy, Harper’s Island) will join the action-adventure/fantasy as series regulars. Alona Tal (Veronica Mars), Craig Eldridge (Covert Affairs) and Julian Richings (Supernatural) will guest star in the pilot episode.

Three Inches, from Fox Television Studios and Landscape Entertainment, will begin production in Toronto, Canada on Monday, August 30.

In Three Inches, professional daydreamer and underachiever, Walter Spackman (Reid) is struck by lightning, and develops a unique "super" power -- the ability to move any object using just his mind... but only a distance of three inches. He's soon recruited by a covert team of superheroes each gifted with their own extraordinarily ordinary abilities. Together, the unlikely band of heroes proves that "super" is simply a state of mind.

Jace Alexander (Rescue Me, Prison Break) is directing the pilot, written by Harley Peyton (Twin Peaks), who also serves as executive producer. Fox Television Studios is producing with Executive Producer Robert Cooper, through his company Landscape Entertainment. J.J. Jamieson heads up television for Landscape Entertainment.

James Marsters will star as Troy Hamilton, a former government agent who takes Walter in to his own team of “super” heroes who fight evil wherever they find it. He is a father figure to Walter.

Andrea Martin will play Belinda Spackman, Walter’s mother, a brutally honest, comically cynical force of nature that loves her son more than words can say and will do anything to protect him.

Stephanie Jacobsen plays Watts, a beautiful “super” hero who has the ability to shape the emotions of anyone she meets at close range.

Antony Del Rio will portray The Human Smell, an adventurous, often irritating teenager who is able to emit a pungent gas through his pores that disables anyone nearby
Naoko Mori plays Annika, a woman who can duplicate and broadcast any sound she hears.

Kyle Schmid will play Brandon, the “super” hero team leader with all the cockiness and strength of a true action hero, minus the superpowers. He is the opposite of Walter and sees most of the team as freaks.

Brandon Jay McLaren plays Macklin Sportello, Walter’s best friend, a big talker with not a lot to back it up. His relationship is tested when Walter begins to change, but he’s the friend that will always be there for him.

Alona Tal will guest star in the pilot as Lily Theroux, the kind, pretty girl next door and Walter’s long time crush who loves him but “not in that way.”

Craig Eldridge will guest as Todd, part of Troy’s team of “super” heroes who can see two minutes into the future at the cost of a massive disabling headache.

Julian Richings will also appear as a guest star playing Ethan, a man with the ability to communicate with and control the insect kingdom.

A Look At Upcoming Episodes Of Comic Book Divas A LIFE BEHIND THE MASK

Written By: Ken Hulsey
Sources: Dennis Willman / Rachel Grubb

A couple of weeks back Comic Book Divas' highly anticipated online comic, "A Life Behind The Mask" made it's debut in the form of the one page feature, "Amazonia In: 'Power And Responsibility'".

Now illustrator Dennis Willman has given us a sneak peak at future installments of "Mask" in the form of title cards for upcoming issues.

First comes, "A Day At The Movies", starring Jolly, a character that was modeled after MIN friend, and part-time contributor, Rachel Grubb. That feature will soon be followed by "The Check-Out Line Law" (Deneen Melody as The Blackbird), "She's A Man Eater" (Not the Hall and Oates song)(Raelynn Blahr as Luna), "Requiem For The Besuited Villain" (Michelle Sheilds as Mrs. Marvelous)and "That Old Black Magic" (Kaily Alissano).

No word yet when these new issues will hit the web, but to hold you over I have included a couple of photos of Rachel Grubb, plus her bio, to keep you occupied.

Rachel Grubb

Another MIN Favorite.....and sometimes.....writer, Rachel Grubb is a multi talented dynamo who works her tail off both in front of, and behind the camera.

As of late, Rachel's star is rising, big time.

Again, if you have never had the privilege of seeing any of Rachel's work, here is her bio (From Fixter):

Rachel Grubb graduated college with a degree in English and wrote her first feature length screenplay, in 1999. When the script won Best Breakthrough Screenplay at the 2000 New York International Independent Film & Video Festival, she wanted to star in it herself, simply because she didn’t know anyone else to ask. Not wanting to make a fool of herself, she started taking acting classes, and, to her surprise, became heavily involved in the Minnesota film community—as an actor. She traveled to Hollywood for the IMTA Convention in 2003 and took home a trophy for the Sitcom competition, and a medal for Cold Read.

Since then, she has acted in numerous local feature films, including Doomed To Consume, The Monster of Phantom Lake, Harrowville, Group Home, The Romantics, Tales Of The Dead, Horror House, Health Freaks, and Unholy Reunion. More recently, she played a creepy ghost in Dav Kaufman’s 13 Hours in A Warehouse, and Hagra, lead huntress of the evil Liak tribe in Cave Women on Mars. She plays Angeline in One Way Ticket, a film about an arranged marriage couple from West Africa. She and her friend Brooke Lemke have formed Silent-But-Deadly Productions. They have just finished Why Am I In A Box? which Rachel wrote, directed, and starred in.

Here is a list of everything Rachel is doing in 2010, and let me tell you, it's a lot (From IMDB):

Scream Queen Campfire (2010) (filming) .... Natalie Williams (segment "Screwdriver")
Bad Girls Burn in Hell (2010) (filming) .... Susan Shepard
The Convincer (2011) (post-production) (uncredited) .... Bus Station Patron
Strip Club Slasher (2010) (post-production) .... Desiree Diamonds
The Telephone Game (2010) (post-production) .... Olivia Donnell

And here are those title cards I mentioned earlier, featuring some out-of-this-world art by Dennis Willman:
