I’m torn on the Resident Evil series. I like the games fine. I even like the first movie in a campy, silly sort of way. I can even forgive the fact that it has Michelle Rodriguez in it, playing that clenched grimacy character that she always plays. But Resident Evil: Apocalypse just blew.. there was nothing redeeming about it. But this red band (R-Rated) trailer that Sony has posted for the upcoming Resident Evil Extinction actually looks kind of cool. I don’t think it could possibly be further removed from the games at this point, but it looks like it might be cool for some zombie action.

More ComicCon news, this time from moviesonline.ca, who bring us this newly unveiled movie poster for J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek reboot/revamp. I like the retro look with the classic Star Trek font personally.
The other big Star Trek news of the day is that it is now confirmed that Zachary Quinto (Sylar from Heroes) has been cast as Mr. Spock - great casting. Also, it is now confirmed that Leonard Nimoy will have a in the upcoming film, and William Shatner most likely will as well! As a trekkie who’s been kind of down on the franchise since ST:TNG went off the air, this is super exciting. J.J.’s doing everything right so far!

AICN has just broken the news from ComicCon confirming that Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) will be returning for Indiana Jones 4. Steven and Co. have also launched a new and revamped website with lots of new tidbits about the upcoming flick.
I’ve been down on this film from the beginning, but it’s hard not to get excited about news like this.

Over at AICN they are speculating that Cloverfield - the codename for the movie featured in the nameless trailer that ran before Transformers, will be called Monstrous. The blurry poster they have up looks pretty cool and it could be legit.

The Movie Blog posted this picture a little while ago. This looks great - they seem to be staying true to the “Tony’s armor keeps him alive” idea from the comics (judging from the fact that he’s wearing a piece of the armor under his shirt). I have high hopes for this one: Robert Downey Jr is great casting for Tony Stark - he’s got the rich alcoholic thing down pat.
