DC COMICS FILMSOddly, this piece of DC Comics news doesn't come from anybody actually involved with the DC Comics films. During its multipart interview with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, Collider asked if there was any advice he'd give to those looking to launch a "Justice League" film.
"I don't know. I'm sure they have smart people over there who have a plan and know what they're doing," Feige told Collider. "'Man of Steel' looks like it's going to be awesome and obviously 'Dark Knight' is awesome. I don't know. It's what I say all the time and have said over the years, which is, have confidence in the characters, believe in the source material, don't be afraid to stay true to all of the elements of the characters no matter how seemingly silly or crazy they are. I don't know, I think the Marvel characters have a bit of a leg up for all the reasons that Marvel fans are aware of in terms of the emotional complexity of the characters and the flawed nature of the characters. Those are obviously the elements we want to accentuate amongst all the action."
AMAZING SPIDER-MANMTV spoke with "Amazing Spider-Man 2" screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci about the process of selecting Spidey's villains for the sequel.
"I think you have to go into it and say, 'is this character essential to the story or are you just throwing him in for no reason whatsoever'," Kurtzman told MTV.

IRON MAN 3Vulture interviewed "Happy Endings" star Adam Pally about his minor role as Gary the local reporter/Tony Stark fanboy in "Iron Man 3."
"A lot of it [was improvised]," Pally told Vulture. "Although a lot of it was written, too, because Drew Pearce, the writer, is amazing. His dialogue was really good, and Shane Black [co-wrote it], and there's not much you need to do to improve on Shane Black's dialogue. It was awesome, it was like reading Lethal Weapon scenes. Shane was really cool about my improv background, and he gave me some amazing notes, and we'd do one regular take and one take where Robert would start improvising. All I had to do was keep up with him to come out looking good."

THE CROWSuperHeroHype spoke with actor Luke Evans about his recently-revealed leading role in the remake of "The Crow," and what audiences can expect from the new take on the concept.
"[The Crow] was a very poignant film from my childhood, which I remember vividly," Evans told SHH. "The soundtrack, also. It was such a solid performance that Brandon Lee gave. It was a very tragic end for somebody that probably would have had a very promising career... I'm Eric Draven. I'm the same character. Obviously, he's been refreshed and brought up to date. We're reimagining it to a certain extent, but the story and the plot is mostly the same."
