Jon Favreau is once again the King of Comic-Con. In a lackluster year where fans have sat through panels for films that have nothing to do with comic books (and some little to do with anything interesting), the Iron Man director hit the stage like an adrenaline needle to a crowd already buzzing to see the Marvel panel later in the evening. It’s been a hectic day of overcrowding, a trailer presentation that brought on the boos, and a fight that broke out and resulted in police action. After the panel for Paul brought everyone back to life, Favreau was joined on stage by Daniel Craig…then Olivia Wilde…then Sam Rockwell…and then, Harrison “Throw Me the Idol” Ford. So, perhaps it was the five minute standing ovation that got the crowd in the giving mood, but the footage for the definitely 2D Cowboys vs Aliens was spectacular. Since it could be considered a bit spoilery, hit the jump.

It’s been a busy night for the ladies of Mad Men. First the lovely Alison Brie joins Scream 4, and now Abigail Spencer — best known as Don Drapers fiery school teacher mistress — is joining the Jon Favreau directed actioner Cowboys and Aliens. This will mark her studio feature debut, as she joins Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford and Sam Rockwell. Seriously — how ’bout that cast?

Daniel Craig is close to signing a deal to star in Fincher’s trilogy of remakes, but where does this leave the star if Bond 23 can ever get itself off the ground?

Sam Rockwell will be joining the cast of Jon Favreau’s Cowboys and Aliens as a supporting character. This only makes the already excellent cast of this film even more excellent.

EON Productions partners Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, the producers of the James Bond franchise, announced today in a press release that they have suspended development on the upcoming Bond 23. Sad times, indeed.

Things are rolling for Bond 23. Daniel Craig is still in the role of James Bond, director Sam Mendes has come aboard to lead the next installment, and assuming MGM doesn’t implode financially, the movie may actually get made. Time to move on to the nitty-gritty details of story and setting, and our most beloved part of the pre-production process: casting rumors.

here are Bond girls — like Ursula Andres or Honor Blackman — who are more memorable than some of the men who played Bond. Seriously, does anyone even remember George Lazenby at this point? So it goes without saying that the selection of the latest Bond girl is big news. And today it looks like we’ve got big news.

An alien invasion in the time of the old west? Script from the Star Trek trio, directed by the Iron Man guy, starring James Bond and Thirteen from House? No analysis needed… start shooting, Mr. Favreau.

Earlier this week, reports came in that Robert Downey Jr. would no longer be starring in the Jon Favreau directed Cowboys and Aliens. Now we know which American icon will replace him. Err…

James Bond may be heading to the most dangerous place of all… the suburbs.

This week’s Culture Warrior gives an exhaustive review of the decade that you won’t find anywhere else on the Interwebs.

This week Culture Warrior asks, just how ‘new’ is the new Star Trek, anyway?

Two projects in development will chronicle the Hollywood icon’s monumental, tumultuous life.

Spielberg rolls cameras on Tintin with Jamie Bell and Daniel Craig in tow. Throw on your trench coat and get excited.

Kevin Carr drags you kicking and screaming into the weekend with reviews of My Bloody Valentine 3D, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Notorious, Hotel for Dogs and Defiance.

Neil is hob-nobbing around Park City, Utah with his flunkies, hoping to score some make-out moments with John Stamos or Garry Shandling. So, Kevin is left in the Magical Studio in the Sky with special guest host Kristin Dreyer Kramer from NightsAndWeekends.com to talk January releases.

“No fucking way,” that is what Daniel Craig had to say when asked whether or not Quantum of Solace would be the second film in a three picture story arc.

How big was this Bond? Well, it was only the biggest domestic opening for an 007 movie in history. Quantum of Solace brought in $70 million in 3,451 theaters.

It would appear that the 22nd installment of the James Bond franchise is having absolutely no trouble finding an audience this weekend, with many calculations pointing to Quantum of Solace being the biggest Bond opening in history.

It’s come to this. The age-old question of who makes the best Bond is tackled by our resident misanthropes – Jorge Sosa and Josh Radde. Which Bond will prevail?
