News Control: Tom Hardy as the Punisher

By Joelgleo
In the past day or two you may have seen something crossing your facebook page or news feed about Tom Hardy looking at playing The Punisher in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This obviously would cause quite a buzz. The Punisher has been made into a movie three times and three times it has failed to start a Punisher franchise. It would be very exciting for Marvel to look into kickstarting one of their grittier characters and Tom Hardy would be a great casting choice, especially since he's about to star in a big summer blockbuster with Mad Max.


But here's the thing. As of right now, Tom Hardy is not up for the role of The Punisher. In fact, Marvel isn't even currently working on a Punisher Franchise. (not one that's been announced at least) all of those stories are stemming from one statement that Tom Hardy made while promoting Mad Max. When the interviewer asked Hardy if there was any comic book character he would like to play Hardy mentioned that he would like to be The Punisher.

Thats it.

Marvel hasn't said anything about Hardy or The Punisher at all. There has been no indication that Marvel is even thinking about the character. Just that Hardy mentioned in one interview that he would like to play him. And a little later on in the interveiw, Hardy mentioned that he really couldn't play Frank Castle anyway because he was too short. (which is not really a good reason, but that's beside the point)

I understand that if you want to play a character that's owned by a company like Marvel it's good to get that information out there. And if you as a fan are interested in seeing Tom Hardy play The Punisher, it's good to try and let Marvel know that this is the type of movie or show that you would happily give money for.

But for now, there's no real story here. Just a guy who wants to play a character because it would be cool.

    Hardy rejoined Christopher Nolan for The Dark Knight Rises (2012); he played the villain role of Bane opposite Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Gary Oldman. Hardy's menacing physique and his character's scrambled, hard-to-distinguish voice became a major discussion point as the film was released.

Muppets for Best Song!

What with all the talk about the Oscar nominations getting announced today, one particular nomination has been overlooked. Namely the fact that even though the ENTIRE soundtrack was overlooked by the Golden Globes the Oscars at least did right by the best bunch of original songs this year and nominated Man or Muppet as on of the contenders for Best Original Song. Sure my pick would have been for Life's a Happy Song, but that's not what's important. What is important is that The Muppets got an Oscar Nomination! YAAAAAAAAAY

Day 5 of Halloween - The Fly (1958)

Jason:  First of all, I hope that everyone watched the right iteration of this film. The one with Vincent Price, not Jeff Goldblum.  Now that we’ve gotten that straight… This movie is considered to be a Halloween cult classic. It doesn’t have a whole lot in the way of scares or terror but it still remains a seasonal favorite. For the time, the make-up effects were decent. The way Andre’s fly head twitches and vibrates makes it look pretty convincing for a 1950’s puppet mask. The story, however, is what is so captivating. I have been reading a lot of Lovecraft stories lately and I couldn’t help but draw a comparison between them and this movie. The plot is very Lovecraftian. Let me explain: The main character is a highly intellectual recluse who spends most of his time in research. He stumbles across some natural secret that ultimately leads to his destruction. As he is trying to rectify his discovery, he slips farther and farther away from his humanity until he is com...

Top 30 Muse Songs (15 - 11)

We're mere days away from Muse's new album Drones being released and it's time to see which of their songs cracked the top half of our list. If you missed the previous installments or need a refresher:  26-30 ,  21-25 ,  16-20 15. Undisclosed Desires I remember when they first released this song, it had a lot of fans scratching their collective heads because it felt like a vast departure from what we were used to with Muse. In time, we embraced the song because it's Muse and we appreciate the risk. The song ultimately seemed to lay the ground work for Madness on the next album. 14. Citizen Erased It's been a fan favorite for a long time and, according to the band, they're apparently not done with the idea. Bellamy did  an interview  where he said that a song called The Globalist  from their upcoming album is a sequel to Citizen Erased and is "a ten minute prog nightmare - which is about the rise and fall of a dictator." That sounds like it...
