On this episode of Collider Movie Talk (March 4th, 2016) Dennis Tzeng, Kristian Harloff, and Perri Nemiroff discuss the following:
Entertainment Weekly writer Anthony Breznican was able to getan early look at Warner Bros. biggest film to date,Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. In a tweet heard round the world, Breznican took to Twitter to share his thoughts saying if you lovedMan of Steelyou’ll loveBatman v Superman,including its grim/dark look. He even went so far as to say that even the most cynical of fans will tear up when Batman and Superman are together on screen. Touching on Wonder Woman, he said that she is fearsome. Lastly, the fans will have a lot to discuss and fight over.
Among the huge slate announced by Warner Bros. way back, we got confirmation about the entire cast set up to appear inJustice Leaguesave one member – Green Lantern. Very little is known about Green Lantern and who will be playing him. Among the coverage from this week’s Entertainment Weekly onBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, producerCharles Rovensays we’ll see a “fully formed” Green Lantern most likely inJustice League: Part 2. He said, every beat of the movie is not yet worked out and since they are introducing so many characters in Part 1, the best thing to do is wait for the best possible introduction in Part 2.

Hey guys, Loving the news of all the new shows coming up!
Thinking about other new things I’d like to see from you I thought “Why not a guest show?” You bring guests on Movie Talk all the time so why not make a special show revolving around these people and what they do, you can bring directors, actors, ask them about the industry and stuff like that. If you had the time and resources, would you do it?
Thanks and keep bringing on the filthy.

Hey Collider crew,
With the upcoming film10 Cloverfield Lane, producerJ.J Abramsis using a first time director inDan Trachtenberg( who also happened to co-host a movie type podcast on the internet a few years back ) Do you think Abrams had to hard sell to the movie studio to use a first time director or do you think at this point in time, they pretty much let him do anything he wants?
Keep up the great work,
