Movie News: Marvel, Blade Runner, Batman

AICN claims that Marvel is writing Nick Fury into Iron Man. And guess who they say is taking on the role of the infamously badass superspy?

Okay, seriously: Samuel L. Jackson. Mind, the source is AICN, and the information is unconfirmed, but who better?

New Zealanders choose their favorite and most hated movies – and Star Wars makes both lists. On the high end, A New Hope comes in at #2, beating Pulp Fiction and locally-filmed Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. On the low end, The Phantom Menace eeks in at #10, just below Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. But I wouldn’t get too worked up – the most-hated film is Titanic.
