Dailies 5/4/12: The Avengers, The Watch, The Wasp and more
It’s Star Wars day! But, well, it’s also the day that The Avengers comes out in theaters. FINALLY. You can read our review here if you’re amped to see it.
If you’re not sure, quell your fears with our review roundup. Even the stingy critics loved it!
Then you can hope your projectionist doesn’t delete The Avengers accidentally, that’s what happened at a press screening of the film. The projectionist accidentally deleted the film. That’s the downside of digital versus film though, ya know how it is.
By the way, an early script of The Avengers included superhero The Wasp. The character was cut though, presumably because Scarlett Johansson was cast in Iron Man 2 as Black Widow. They didn’t need The Wasp.
If after the movie you feel like getting off your ass and working out to get a body like the mighty god of thunder, Thor, you can check out our Thor workout. It’s pretty intense stuff. Then you can smash Loki for all eternity.
And if you’ve seen the movie and seen the extra scenes you can check out our explanation. Be warned, there are spoilers.
Or you could prepare for Comic-Con by making an Iron Man cosplay costume that’s as sweet as this. I mean, it moves! It’s not CG! It’s real! Hot damn! Where can I buy one?
It’s not a totally happy day, Beastie Boys and Oscilloscope Laboratories co-founder Adam Yauch passed away today at the age of 47. Sad face.
Jonah Hill is continuing his serious acting career (with a dash of funny) by getting himself a spot in Martin Scorsese’s new film. And holy shit, his co-star is Leo DiCaprio. From Superbad to Scorsese. Who knew?
Oh, and if you’re sick of The Avengers you can prepare yourself for Prometheus. This new viral audio clip makes the film seem very gruesome. Ew.
And then you can check out the trailer for The Watch, starring Ben Stiller, Richard Ayoade, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill (see, he still does comedy).
Oh, and in case you don’t recognize the name. The film was originally called Neighborhood Watch but they retitled it because of the Trayvon Martin case.
