Ben Affleck , who ’s made some legitimately terrific films with Gone Baby Gone and The Town ( and Argo , hopefully ) , reportedly has no interest in Warner Bros. ’ offer for him to channelize Justice League — with Affleck reportedly willing to take a merging with the studio as a courtesy , but nothing more . In fount this account is sounding a bit familiar , this is pretty much exactly what reportedly go on a twelvemonth or so ago with Man of Steel , which Warner Bros. also propose to Affleck before he quickly change by reversal it down .

Now that Joss Whedon is officially back to write and direct the sequel , there ’s really no sentence like the nowadays to find out the movie ’s release escort . While Marvel Studios has n’t say anything yet — and quite possibly wo n’t make anything official until they clear up whether or not Edgar Wright ’s Ant - Man will be their third picture in 2014 — the word of honor is that the release date has been set for May 1 , 2015 . good to take that with a caryopsis of saltiness until we know for sure , but that sound fair enough .
MTV has this report from a hypothesise inside source to explain the system of logic behind the date :
“ Marvel has a very set agenda of what they desire to do , they are already kind of ahead of the biz [ on the sequel ] because they ’ve got the guy cable that did it before doing it again and something tells me Joss already has the template [ for the film ] . In terms of the time figure , I intend that it is well in the work . … It front like the press release date might be May 1 , 2015 , but that can change depending on masses ’s agenda . The beauty of ‘ The Avengers ’ is that you ’ve got so many masses in this that even during the shoot if someone has to do another moving picture they can just focus on [ other quality ] . ”

The Great Debate of Yesterday Morning that threatened to tear our nation apart — specifically , whether the much - delayed Hansel & Gretel movie would be better off released as PG-13 or R — has now at long last been settled . Paramount has reportedly long since decide to free the movie with an R rating , and indeed the test versions described in yesterday ’s billet were in reality both potential R - betray cuts of the movie . I ’d say the more adult evaluation ease up the film a fortune of being a little more interesting than the standard activeness fantasy transportation … but then , there ’s still the whole “ bump to January ” thing that ’s kind of knotty to get around .

New showrunner Jeremy Carver explains how Dean ’s time in purgatory will be dissimilar from either crony ’s previous trip to hellhole :
I ’ll say this : each brother had starkly dissimilar transformative experience over this past time that they were aside from each other . I think , first and first , they ’re still take within themselves about how it ’s pretend them , both emotionally and in the relationship that have form up in their clip alone . It ’s the summons of starting to be able to relate with each other anew that form a lot of the basis for that — at least in the early sequence . I remember one of the thing that ’s nice is that there ’s always secrets and everything , but what happens when it completely changes your mentality on lifetime or who you are or what you want to be in 15 twelvemonth ? I often say it ’s like when you talk to your good friend when you ’re 20 and then you talk to them differently when you ’re 30 , because lifetime is capture up to you .
He also discusses what challenges the buddy will face this year , which I think you ’ll all be proud of to bed involve importantly more of Mark Sheppard as Crowley :
The notion of the class is “ quest . ” They ’re unite in the search of something . One of the Guy will start to present themselves as something of an obstruction this class , which will be the character of Crowley . He had reasonably of an uneasy yet fairly earnest relationship with them . I think this year you ’re decease to see that they ’re very much on diametrical sides of the fence in terms of this quest , as it were . Things are going to get a little dirtier with Crowley . Then we can for certain say that other baddie will emerge . Again , it ’s very much perceptions this year , so I do n’t think it ’s going to be as obvious from the get - go who is good and who is tough .

Smallville ’s Kristin Kreuk discusses her return to The CW , in which she plays a cop ( a beautiful cop , if you will ) , who chance the survivor of a weird army experimentation ( the beastly survivor of a uncanny USA experiment , if you also will , except the dude actually seems pretty handsome ) . Anyway , she discusses how both her reference and the theoretically beastly Vincent both have their dark sides :
I think the whole concept is that we all do . It ’s not of necessity a dark side , but there are thing about ourselves that we want to obliterate and that we think are bad , and sometimes they are destructive and fierce . Even if it ’s something where you say something to me and I get crocked , and I say something meanspirited to you , that ’s violent . Catherine has get a lot of stuff and nonsense that she ’s buried down , and her impulse towards revenge , which is a wild act that is n’t okay , she understand is an impulsion towards stopping these people that anguish her mom . She believes that somehow it ’s locomote to make it better . But Vincent , in some ways , knows that it wo n’t . No matter how much you exact Department of Justice in the world , it wo n’t make the tactual sensation go aside . That is her duskiness .

Onetime Smallville showrunner Brian Peterson , who will have a major creative voice on this show alongside his old produce partner Kelly Souders , discusses how Vincent compare to his former CW leading man :
Vincent never started as an foreigner . He was in the military , he was a MD , he was on a very unlike racetrack and never have what it was like to be an foreigner , to feel like an alien , all the things that Clark , from the very second he was accept , had started to feel . It ’s created a very different somebody and a very different approaching to being a hero sandwich for Vincent . Clark was very head by the morality of his parents . Vincent is a brute . There are times when he ’s out of control and there ’s times where he may not do the correct matter . Catherine is go to have to deal with that as somebody who works within the organisation . ”
