Case in point, Ellen Brandt, played by Stephanie Szostak, who was sent to stop Tony Stark from investigating the death of Sergeant Chad Davis, whose body rejected Extemis and incinerated him. Tony was able to defeat her using his ingenuity and kitchen equipment, but apparently the filmmakers originally planned a different way for her to die.

While 2015 only has three superhero movies set for release (The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man and The Fantastic Four), think of it as the calm before the storm given everything that Marvel, Warner Bros, Fox, Sony and other studios have planned for the years afterwards.

Christopher Nolan Shows How He Filmed Interstellar Without Using Green Screen

It is a fact that Christopher Nolan is an amazing filmmaker, but shooting a movie about space without either going to space or using green screen is quite the feat. In the video below, Nolan shares how he made the mega-hit end-of-the-world drama, Interstellar, without using green screen (or sending Matthew McConaughey into orbit). Okay, so maybe Nolan had to use some green screen and CGI effects in Interstellar (the film is largely about space, after all), but we do live in a time where green screen and CGI is par for the course in moviemaking. Whether or not you ...

Foxcatcher's Main Character Seems To Have Declared War On The Director

Mudslinging campaigns are never appreciated when a film is working its way down the Oscar campaign trail. Any questions raised about the authenticity of a project only damages the credibility of movies that consider themselves to be Best Picture contenders. Selma faced some uncomfortable questions about its historical accuracy earlier this month, and now Bennett Miller's Foxcatcher is taking severe heat from an unexpected source – namely, Mark Schultz, the man on which the movie is based. Schultz has been posting messages on his Facebook and Twitter account over the past few days, and they have been escalating in hostility toward ...
