Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol Trailer
Jul 2011The first look at the new Mission: Impossible 4 movie, though interestingly enough they aren’t exactly calling it that, instead opting to call this the “Ghost Protocol.” I will warn you that there may be some spoilers, as they always tend to throw in too much information than they need to in these trailers nowadays.
IP Man – Watch it!
Jun 2011
IP Man
For those that haven’t had the opportunity, I highly recommend you take a chance on IP Man. It’s the perfect blend of kung fu action, strong characters, and engaging story telling. Plus it’s a nice break from the over-CG’d movie landscape of the Thor’s and Green Lanterns of the world.
What else would you expect from a biopic of the real life mentor of Bruce Lee? Catch it now on Netflix streaming or at Amazon.com.

Superman Reboot: Artists Rendition of Henry Cavill as Man of Steel
Jun 2011
Henry Cavill as Superman - Man of Steel
By now I’m sure most have heard about the Superman Reboot that’s in the works with Zach Snyder (director of Watchmen) and Chris Nolan (director of the highly successful Batman movies).
There has also been confirmation that the role of Superman has been cast in favor of Henry Cavill (known from his roles on the Showtime series The Tudors).
The image above is just an artist rendition of what Mr. Cavill would potentially look like in the red and blue. You’ll notice that he bares a striking resemblance the Christopher Reeves Superman (in particular his hair).
What he will actually look like we won’t know until filming begins, but make sure to stay tuned to FavoriteHero.com for all the Superman updates!

Halo Reach
Sep 2010
The much anticipated Halo: Reach is releasing in less than a week and is expected to be Bungies final explosive entry into the Halo series. For those uninitiated in the Halo lore, the main story arc with our favorite hero, Master Chief, ended with Halo 3, but Bungie decided that their final game will chronicle the fall of the human colony “Reach” which will be an epic battle that encompasses the fall of the planet to the covenant.
With new improvments to the graphics engine and multiple additions to the multiplayer (jetpacks and a more refined “forge”) this can be a great farewell to a developer that has yet to do wrong with their baby. Heres hoping to a few nods, if not a part of the story, dedicated to the Chief himself. Till then enjoy this wallpaper and awsome video (also in the vein of badass videos released before each of their games). I will post my thoughts as soon as I get a copy in my hands next week.
Iron Man 2 – Faux Promotional Websites
Apr 2010
In an effort to create more buzz for the upcoming launch of Iron Man 2, Paramount Studios has released a number of faux promotional websites that are directly linked to the movie. Starting with Stark Expo 2010, which appears to be a fictional technology expo featuring the upcoming technologies compliments of Tony Stark (aka Iron Man).
The second site is Accutech, which appears to be a subsidiary of Stark Industries and specializes in the technology that makes Iron Man possible.
Here’s the sad part… These sites actually look legitimate and are probably better designed than the real companies that they are designed to imitate!
Big Apple Comicon 2009
Oct 2009
Wow, what a great weekend. Filled with movie stars, famous artists, upcoming game previews and anything else you could want (assuming you have a single nerd bone in your body).
Stars ranging from Billy Dee Williams to Thomas Jayne were in attendance giving photo ops and autographs, while in the artists alley, you can get autographs of prints or even custom Comic covers or artwork drawn on the spot for you.
We have a number of picks to give a little taste of the Big Apple Comicon ’09 after the jump!
Peace Walker
Oct 2009Wow. Its been more than a year since the phenominal MGS4 seemingly closed out the Metal Gear saga. After a ride that was as amazing to watch as it was to experience, everyone knew they would try to keep the series alive, but havent quite figured out how after that. Well this trailer that premiered at TGS09 is to try and fill out the gaps between Big boss and Solid Snake. Note, playing MGS3 and Portable Ops would make it much more exciting, but even the passive MGS fan will be excited to see why Big Boss turned out the way he did.
Just to fill out a little history from memory, just to help understand the trailer. Big Boss (Snake) was forced to kill his mentor/hero the Boss to help prevent some bad bad stuff (being vague on purpose except for what they show in the trailer, these are the events of MGS3). Being disillusioned with fighting for a country (the US) Snake takes the time to to save the world and create a group of what is called nomads in the trailer, which is comprised of soldiers that have been abandoned or mistreated by thier respective countries. Snake being the only person known for his combat prowess and being an overall hero leads these men into lives untethered by their home countries (MGS portable ops). This pretty much brings you to the events of the trailer with Snake and his band, fighting for what they believe in, not what their countries tell them too, which if anyone knows MGS history leads to the very first game and its story of Outer Haven.
Ive left out a lot of the story and the good details, but all the hardcore fans will know all this and more, and will just enjoy the trailer.
