Sarah Connor – Kommst Du mit ihr
"Captain America: Civil War" Cast In London (No Scarlett Johansson?)
According to one person on the Marvel page:
“I hate that it’s coming out over there (UK) this weekend . Internet will be full of spoilers and will ruin it for us here in America… Honestly though how does a movie called captain AMERICA not release in America first ?”
Well, tough tits. You see, people in the US fill the internet with spoilers and much more that ruin it for people not in the US for previous film premiers. “Waaaaah!” all you want. Don’t go on the internet until its released in the US then or ignore any postings about the film. Spoil brats.

Business Entrepreneurs and Comic Books
So I’m Shopping in Sainsbury’s….I know. Posh, heh?
Anyway,I’m looking around at the prices and barely listening to whatever radio they had playing over the speakers.
Some man was droning on about “British entrepreneurial spirit” -or, rather, the lack of it today. “Take entertainment” he says and I start losing interest. “Look at all the movies that are making huge amounts of money -based on comic strips” Me: “WHAT??” The man continued: “You are not going to rake in the money that the big US companies like Disney do but it shows there is a market -for however long it lasts. But the last time the UK had comics published in the UK as part of an industry was forty years ago”
I thought “Not 40 years you…..oh.It is 40 years!”
Cue woman with kids and loud mouthed hubby who seemed to think “Do we have tomato ketchup or not?” was the major topic of the week. Man on radio: “Why? Because there is no one around now who knows how to publish comics”
Ahem. I’m still here.
Radio cuts out and music comes on. Silence. More radio but a local station. Silence….
So I asked the manager (who was busy doing nothing) what the radio station was? “What radio station?” I say “The radio station you just had playing over your speakers….” Him: “Didn’t hear it”.
I’m there thinking I must have imagined it when his colleague chips in: “They’re testing the system today so its random radio and sound checks” Manager grunts. They move on.
Local? Regional? National? No idea. If anyone heard it let me know so I can see if its online. But seriously, whoever it was…well,it was like he was reading a CBO posting! Accurate but I am still here -I know how to put comics together and I’m not going anywhere!

Netflix Orders ‘Marvel’s The Punisher’ to Series Jon Bernthal reprises his role as Frank Castle!
Read on.
Jon Bernthal will reprise his role as Frank Castle, introduced to fans earlier this year in the second season of the Netflix original series “Marvel’s Daredevil,” with Steve Lightfoot (“Hannibal”) serving as Executive Producer and Showrunner in addition to writing the series’ first two episodes.
“We want to thank the fans who are clamoring for more of Jon’s stunning and powerful performance as Frank Castle from ‘Marvel’s Daredevil,’” said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb, “Now combined with Showrunner Steve Lightfoot’s compelling writing, we’re thrilled to bring ‘Marvel’s The Punisher’ to Netflix.”
“Jon hooked our global audience with his performance as Frank Castle from the moment he stepped on screen in ‘Marvel’s Daredevil,’ and we are looking forward to seeing more of him in this role under the vision of Steve Lightfoot,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Content.
“For me, the complexity and unpredictability of Frank Castle make him an incredibly compelling character and I couldn’t be more excited to dive into his world,” said Executive Producer and Showrunner, Steve Lightfoot. “After watching Jon’s performance in ‘Marvel’s Daredevil’ I could not be more excited to be working with him to further develop and progress the story of this anti-hero in a show of his own.”
“Marvel’s The Punisher” marks the sixth series ordered thus far as part of the groundbreaking collaboration between Marvel Television and Netflix including the upcoming “Marvel’s Luke Cage,” “Marvel’s Iron Fist,” “Marvel’s The Defenders” and the Peabody Award-winning “Marvel’s Jessica Jones.”
“Marvel’s The Punisher” is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.

Tomb Raider Reboot
Alicia Vikander to Star as Lara Croft in ‘Tomb Raider’
Alicia Vikander has signed on to star in Tomb Raider for MGM, Warner Bros. and GK Films, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The movie project, which has Roar Uthaug (The Wave) on board to direct, will tell the story of a young and untested Croft fighting to survive her first adventure.
MGM and Warner Bros. are co-producing the film, with MGM overseeing production. They acquired the rights from GK Films, who had previously purchased the film rights in 2011 from Square Enix Ltd.
Graham King is serving as producer.
Angelina Jolie famously starred in the two previous Tomb Raider movies, 2001’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and 2003’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, which established her as a bankable, franchise-carrying international star.
Vikander, who won an Oscar for her turn in The Danish Girl, is hoping for a similar path, and the Tomb Raider movie gives the actress her own franchise after proving her salt in acclaimed dramas.
Last year was a turning point for Vikander, who won an Oscar for her performance in The Danish Girl while also starring in Ex Machina, Burnt and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. This year she will be seen in the drama The Light Between Oceans as well as the Matt Damon action pic Jason Bourne.
