Brand New Megamind Poster: Ferrell Vs. Pitt
Here’s the brand new poster for the upcoming animated movie Megamind from DreamWorks Animation. The film features the voices of Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Tina Fey, and Jonah Hill.
When super villain Megamind (Ferrell) defeats his archrival Metro Man (Pitt), the world should be his oyster. But instead, Megamind falls into total despair. It turns out that life without a rival is life without a point for him. So, he creates a new superhero rival, Titan (Hill). Unfortunately, the new hero wants to be a super villain, too. Caught in the middle, star reporter Roxanne Ritchi (Fey) asks the tough questions: Who can we turn to? Who has what it takes to stand up to this menace? Who will defend the innocent? Megamind! That’s who.

Each attempt, a colossal failure thanks to the caped superhero known as ‘Metro Man,’ an invincible hero until the day Megamind actually kills him in the throes of one of his botched evil plans. Suddenly, Megamind has no purpose. A supervillain without a superhero. He realizes that achieving his life’s ambition is the worst thing that ever happened to him.

Sherlock Holmes 2 News
Director Guy Ritchie is setting aside his DC Comics adaptation “Lobo” to direct “Sherlock Holmes 2.”
Joel Silver, who is also the producer on “Lobo” alongside Akiva Goldsman and Andrew Rona, told The LA Times:
“I don’t think he’s going to do it now,” when asked about the prospect of Ritchie directing “Lobo.” “The studio wants us and Guy to focus on making another Sherlock Holmes. So I think we’re going to be doing that.”
As for “Lobo,” Silver said they will probably be looking for a different director to come onboard:
Silver said “Lobo” remains a viable project. In the 1980s, the character was a wickedly funny parody of the antiheroes Wolverine and Punisher, characters that now have a combined seven film appearances to their credit.
