Momoa: Aquaman Won’t Be Blonde
According Aquaman star Jason Momoa (Game of Thrones), it's looking like his version of the character won't have blonde hair. But will he have a hook hand?
Participating in a Q&A at the Sundance Film Festival (via ComicBook.com), Momoa told a 74-year-old woman who proclaimed her fandom for the Aquaman comics that his version of the character would not be what she's used to: Blonde or white. "I can't really tell you because I haven't shot it yet. I hate to disappoint. But um, you know, I'm a little different than what those others," says Momoa, "I hope you watch it with an open heart."

Evolve Gets Pop! and Legacy Figures From Funko
This spring, the upcoming video game Evolve is getting two sets of figures from toymaker Funko.
The first is a Pop! Games set made up of Hunters Markov, Val, Hank, Maggie, and a “super-sized” 6” Monster Goliath. Out in March, these are the stylized figures with tiny bodies and huge, cutesy heads.
The other set, out in April, is Funko’s more realistic looking Evolve Legacy Collection, which features the same set of characters. These “premium” figures come with 20+ points of articulation and weapon accessories.

Detailed Analysis of the First Fantastic Four Trailer
After much waiting, yesterday we got the first trailer for Josh Trank's new take on Marvel's first family, The Fantastic Four.
If you haven't seen the trailer, do so, and then watch our detailed dissection up above or read it down below.
As always, there might be some minor spoilers (especially if we're right), with us drawing on the source material, things Trank has said in interviews, and of course, good old-fashioned guesswork.
First off, before we get stuck in, there's one thing to keep front of mind when trying to unravel this trailer, and it's Reed's experiment. The trailer depicts the same experiment being repeated at least three times. You can sort of determine when things are happening, based on the design of the suits and the certain other visual clues, but it's highly unclear who's involved in each experiment. I reckon it's very likely the four don't all acquire their powers on the same trip, with the film being structured around a series of journeys and hideous transformations.
Check Out Civilization 4 Designer’s New Strategy Game Offworld Trading Company
It's not hard to see that the future of space exploration and colonization belongs to the corporations. Even now, private companies are already setting their sights on the sky and beyond, looking toward the next lucrative industry. Suffice it to say, space is going to be big business.
It's this premise that drives Offworld Trading Company, the upcoming real-time strategy game from Mohawk Games and Stardock Entertainment, headed to Steam's Early Access program on February 12.
Offworld Trading Company places you in the role of one such upstart company, where the resource-rich surface of Mars is waiting to be harvested in a bid to become the biggest business on the red planet.
Why Ivan Reitman Isn’t Directing Ghostbusters Reboot
Ivan Reitman has been talking about the forthcoming Ghostbusters reboot, explaining why he isn’t directing, and also why he thinks an all-female cast is the right way to go.
Reitman is promoting sports movie Draft Day – which hit DVD in the UK this week – and unfortunately we spoke to him a couple of hours before Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon were announced as the all-new Ghostbusters. So instead we asked him why he won’t be directing.
“Between Billy Murray’s reluctance in doing another one – and especially when I returned from Harold Ramis’s funeral – I realised that actually, I may be able to talk Bill into doing another one, but I certainly can’t talk Harold into it” explained the director of the first two flicks. “But I felt it needed fresh eyes as a director and somebody with new ideas. I had already done two of them and I love the franchise, so I would continue as a producer but give somebody else the opportunity to bring their own ideas to this wonderful franchise.”
