IGN All: Arrow's Season Is Going To End With a Bang

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Arrow's Season Is Going To End With a Bang Apr 1st 2013, 04:11 Arrow was the highest rated premiere on The CW since The Vampire Diaries, and its popularity has continued over the course of the first season, leading to an early renewal for Season 2. Producer Marc Guggenheim was joined by cast members Stephen Amnell (Oliver Queen), Willa Holland (Thea Queen), Colin Donnell (Tommy Merlyn), and Paul Blackthorne (Quentin Lance) at WonderCon today to tease what's ahead as the season finale inches closer. Though the finale isn't written yet, Guggenheim promises it's going to deliver. The Undertaking is where they're headed, and they've been saving resources for these last few episodes. "We've been basically setting aside money for the last several episodes to put towards the last two episodes of the season." All the things they've been hinting at in terms of what the Undertaking is and all the stuff happening on the island will come to a head, and they've earmarked the money to do it justice.

IGN All: Vikings: "Raid" Review

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Vikings: "Raid" Review Apr 1st 2013, 03:00 Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow... Vikings might seem like a quaint, solemn series compared to tonight's genre TV lineup featuring the Season 3 premiere of Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead's Season 3 finale, but, in the very least, this series upped its game a little bit and gave us its best episode so far. In keeping with the blueprint that this show seems to favor, "Raid" was very front loaded with action, with the rest of the episode spent dealing with the consequences of the violence at the beginning. With "Raid," Ragnar officially became an outlaw/outcast after the Earl and his men attacked him at home, seriously wounding him in the process.

IGN All: The Walking Dead Finale: What Did You Think?

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

The Walking Dead Finale: What Did You Think? Apr 1st 2013, 02:05 Hey, there's no review in this review! Unlike most of the episodes this season, AMC did not send The Walking Dead season finale out early to press. That being the case, with the episode having just ended as I post this, I'm currently writing my review and it will be up later tonight at this same url. In the meantime, we figured you'd be itching to discuss what occurred as Rick and the Governor's conflict came to a head, so let us know your thoughts in the comments!

IGN All: Game of Thrones: Season 3 Premiere Review

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Game of Thrones: Season 3 Premiere Review Apr 1st 2013, 02:00 Warning: Full spoilers for the Game of Thrones: Season 3 premiere follow... The time has come! HBO's Game of Thrones is back in our lives, and it's brought dragons, giants and menacingly-sized green scorpion creatures with it! When we pick up things in the Season 3 premiere, "Valar Dohaeris" (a Valyrian phrase that's actually a wee bit ahead of the TV series), the "War if the Five Kings," which took up the bulk of Season 2, is on a bit of a break. Stannis' forces were crushed in the Battle of Blackwater, Theon's whereabouts are unknown (only the smoldering Winterfell graphic in the opening credits remains) and douchebag Joffrey's hind quarters still sit firmly on the Iron Throne. There is another "king" who has plans for Westeros who we meet in the first ten minutes, although he seems way far off from the thick of all the warring down in the Riverlands. Yes, we start off the episode spending some quality time Beyond The Wall, with Jon Snow getting hit with rocks, laughed at by Ygritte, and intimidated by an honest-to-goodness giant. Plus, he mistakes a big red-bearded fellow named Tormund for Mance Rayder, leading to further chuckling at his expense. The real Rayder, played by Ciarán Hinds, wants to know why Jon's turned his cloak on his fellow crows and Jon, thinking quickly, comes up with decent enough reason.

IGN All: Hemlock Grove brings horror to WonderCon

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Hemlock Grove brings horror to WonderCon Apr 1st 2013, 01:13 The cast and producers of Netflix's Hemlock Grove were on hand at WonderCon to give an excited crowd the inside scoop on the upcoming horror-thriller and things got bloody and fun by the panel's end. Things got started with a discussion about why it took producer Eli Roth so long to jump into the world of television. "I can't just kill everybody every week," executive producer Eli Roth said. He stressed that networks had been asking for him to create a television series. "As the medium evolved, shows like Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and Waling Dead changed the rules and suddenly horror became a real possibility." "We've been talking about this as a TV series since grad school and he was working on the first draft," executive producer said of Brain McGreevy's novel. "The problem was the expansion of the story, so there'll be lots of surprises for fans of the novel. One really, really big surprise." Continue reading…

IGN All: Vikings: Learn What's Next

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Vikings: Learn What's Next Apr 1st 2013, 01:16 A loud and excited crowd gathered in the early hours of WonderCon to listen to the cast of History's Vikings dish the goods on the new hit series. As the cast took the stage, they were met with thunderous applause from the pack room. Audience members also took to calling out the names of the shows characters as each actor was introduced. "We knew the subject matter; it was the right subject matter for us," Dirk Hoogstran said of the cable channel's decision to tackle Vikings as its first scripted show. Apparently, every time the channel would air a special or documentary on Vikings, there would be a significant ratings spike. This made the decision to greenlight the series an easy one. Hoogstra also told the audience that selecting the cast was an easy process, since most of the actors seemed to be natural fits for their respective roles.

IGN All: WonderCon: First Under the Dome Footage Screened

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

WonderCon: First Under the Dome Footage Screened Mar 31st 2013, 15:22 At WonderCon Saturday, the first footage was shown from Under the Dome, CBS's upcoming new series based on Stephen King's novel of the same name. The show is only a month into production so they had no final footage ready, but they did show a reel that incorporated interviews with King and showrunner Brian K. Vaughan (repurposed from a video shown to press in January) with dailies from production - so it's possible these may not be the final takes used, in some cases. Even in such an early form, the footage looked very cool – showing immediate effects of what happens when an invisible dome suddenly covers an entire town, including a girl collapsing to the ground, a truck smashing into seemingly nothing and, most grisly of all, a bloody, severed arm falling to the ground in front of people's eyes – just one result of a plane flying into the dome. Natalie Martinez's Linda is seen looking in confusion at the press gathered on the other side of the dome, who she can't hear.

IGN All: WonderCon: Del Toro on Justice League Dark Film

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

WonderCon: Del Toro on Justice League Dark Film Mar 31st 2013, 04:32 During Saturday's panel for Pacific Rim at WonderCon, director Guillermo del Toro said that John Constantine -- a blond one, he emphasized -- will be the main protagonist in his planned Justice League Dark movie tentatively titled Dark Universe. Constantine will be the central figure who rounds up the gang. The director revealed that the film won't be an origin movie per se, with each character already established but elements of their backstory coming into play during the course of the story. For example, Swamp Thing is now at peace with who he is, but Deadman will still be in search of the man who murdered him. In addition to Constantine, Deadman and Swamp Thing, del Too said the team's members will include Etrigan the Demon and Jason Blood, whose past with Merlin's Knights will be mentioned. (Zatanna and the Spectre have also been previously mentioned as members.) Continue reading…

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Falling Skies: The Mega Mechs Are Coming! Mar 31st 2013, 01:54 Falling Skies is heading into Season 3, and there are plenty of new developments to keep fans guessing and engaged. The last season ended with a couple of big cliffhangers: there are new aliens in town who may or not be enemies and Karen implanted Hal Mason with some sort of skitter bug. Stars Drew Roy, Sarah Carter, and Seychelle Gabriel as well as executive producer Remi Aubuchon came to WonderCon to discuss what's ahead now since the landscape has changed. A clip revealed the skitters possess Mega Mechs; they've just been saving them for the serious attacks. The conventional, older Mechs aren't cutting it anymore. Aubuchon said, "They've become so desperate they've brought out the Mega Mechs which are not to be messed with." Continue reading…

IGN All: Teen Titans Go! Will Get Weird

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Teen Titans Go! Will Get Weird Mar 31st 2013, 02:17 The Teen Titans are popular, iconic characters and there's been a lot of buzz about how the new series Teen Titans Go! will handle them. Producers/writers Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath were joined by voice talent Greg Cipes and Khary Payton at WonderCon to share the debut episode and to discuss the different, funnier direction. It's no secret fans are skeptical about the strictly comedic take on the super team, but the overall reaction to the episode seemed positive. Laughter drowned out the punchlines at some points. The premiere episode (split into two eleven minute stories as they all will be) showed just how silly things are going get. It's reminiscent of the Star Wars: Detours clips.

IGN All: Axe Cop Animated Series Looks Perfectly Axe Cop

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Axe Cop Animated Series Looks Perfectly Axe Cop Mar 31st 2013, 01:47 On July 27th, FOX is launching their new Saturday night Animation Domination High Definition block from 11pm-12:30am, and at WonderCon today a panel was held for ADHD. The majority of the time was spent discussing the first original series for ADHD, Axe Cop, based on the comic book of the same name. For those who don't know, Axe Cop was created by Ethan Nicolle, based directly on stories told to him by his then 5 year old brother, Malachai – and is a wonderfully funny creation thanks to its random, stream of consciousness style that comes straight from the mind of a child. A trailer was shown that indicated the series will indeed match the comic. Malachai could be heard narrating, and at one point we saw an animated Hitler declare, "You're going to build me an evil island of zombies on Zombie island… in space!" (as we see just that occurring, with each element revealed as Hitler says it, ending with a floating island in space). Another highlight was a woman asking Axe Cop (voiced by Nick Offerman) for help her and him answering, "Only if you tell me how you'd feel I'd look with a mohawk and a handlebar mustache." And then there's the Queen of London being menaced by Dr. Doodoo, with Doodoo later declaring, "Today I will make the great Axe Cop poop himself… to death!" Continue reading…

WonderCon: Alex Ross Covers the Pacific Rim Graphic Novel Mar 30th 2013, 23:57 At NYCC last fall, Legendary Comics made the announcement that Guillermo del Toro is overseeing a graphic novel tie-in to his upcoming science fiction/action film Pacific Rim. The graphic novel is called Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero. It's written by the film's screenwriter, Travis Beacham, and serves as a prequel to the events of the movie.

IGN All: The Art of Making Gamers Cry

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

The Art of Making Gamers Cry Mar 31st 2013, 00:00 The most conspicuous thing about Beyond: Two Souls is just how unlike a video game it looks. During the 45 minute presentation we saw recently in Paris, we were struck by the number of video game trappings developer Quantic Dream has discarded, even by the studio's own defiant standards. There's nothing on the HUD. On-screen prompts are rare. Characters look less like digital puppets and more like famous actors. It's symbolic that Cage and his gameplay team headed up by Quantic veteran Caroline Marchal have all but done away with the quick-time-events so omnipresent in the studio's last game, Heavy Rain. Too mechanical. Too distracting from the game's heart; its story. Continue reading… Media files: bmuploads2013-03-191758homeless012jpg-480cbb_640w.jpg (image/jpeg)

Expanding Bane's Mythology Mar 30th 2013, 23:07 The big Room 300AB was packed full with rabid comic book fans and the panelists were introduced: Ann Nocenti, Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Kyle Higgins, John Layman, Jimmy Palmiotti, Brian Buccellatto, Scott Lobdell, and James Robinson. Snyder kicked off the panel talking about Batman: Zero Year, which covered the same topics as other discussions about the story this weekend (check out the write-up of the actual Zero Year panel). He did offer some new details, though. "It's divided into different chapters and each chapter is a very different moment in this era of Bruce's life." He also teased that'd we'd learn lots more about the Wayne and Kane families and all of our favorite villains. There will also be back-up stories co-written with Tynion and drawn by Rafael Albuquerque that will show new facets to Bruce's training – "no ninjas, no Himalayas."

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Will the Old and New Evil Deads Collide? Mar 30th 2013, 23:18 Actor Bruce Campbell, star of the original Evil Dead trilogy, and Fede Alvarez, director of the new Evil Dead, chatted about the possibility of a crossover between the two takes on the horror franchise. Campbell was coy about whether he made a cameo in the new Evil Dead, but he did say "yes" when asked if he would appear in a future sequel to the new Evil Dead. The actor also said his dream is for there to be four original Evil Deads featuring his character Ash -- yes, he still hopes that he and director Sam Raimi will make Evil Dead 4 in the future -- and three installments of the new Evil Dead because seven is a good number.

IGN All The latest IGN news, reviews and videos about video games, movies, TV, tech and comics

Revolution Cast Tease What's To Come Mar 30th 2013, 22:10 On the heels of Revolution returning to NBC last week, several cast members attending WonderCon today, to preview what's to come in the second half of the season. The panel opened with a trailer that showed a lot of very big events coming up on the series. Randall tells Monroe, "Most people don't have the power to handle conflict – stick with me. I can give you everything." There's a big fight scene where things seem to be going well for our heroes, until Nora yells, "Incoming" and explosions explode around them. In the chaos, Nora is taken.. and we see she is brought to Monroe, who tells her, "What a pleasure to see you again." A furious Miles declares, "He has no idea what he's in for," and we see a hooded prisoner brought in by the resistance who turns out to be Neville. An argument breaks out between Charlie and Miles over how far Miles wants to go, as he quickly intends to torture Neville. Meanwhile, Nora looks to be in a horrible situation as well, pulled up on chains in a near crucifixion position. Continue reading…
