A very special, very late night (or early AM) BoR update…

I guess this year, 20th Century Fox is the April Fool, as over a month before release, X-Men Origins: Wolverine has leaked to the web in near DVD quality.

The version of the film, features temp effects and scoring, but otherwise is the same film that will be seen in theatres on May 2nd.

I can confirm first hand that the footage is out there, and is real.  Out of respect for 20th Century Fox, even with whatever bad words I may have said about them OR this film, I will not link to where it can be obtained…but it’s out there.

Someone is losing their job. Lawsuits are coming. It’s a dark day for everyone there, you’ve gotta believe.  Me? I’m just stunned.

As seen above, the final theatrical poster for the JJ Abrams helmed Star Trek reboot has hit MySpace exclusively.

And while I really appreciate the design aesthetic behind it, it’s a fucking mess.

While I can tell that it’s the USS Enterprise zooming in flight (and coming from a non-fan, that’s probably a good thing), is Joe 6-Pack going to be able to tell? Imagine if they did the posters more in the white+primary color look of the original teasers seen at SDCC this year. That would’ve been nice.

Either way, Star Trek hits theaters on May 8th.

Hey guys, remember Paul?

You know, the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost project, with 2 nerds traveling the country from Comic Con and beyond with an alien?

I was pretty hyped anyway, given that Pegg & Frost would be working with Greg Mattolla (director of Superbad and Adventureland), but now, this goes from “probably will see” to “totally going to see”, as rumored to be playing the titular Paul is…Bill Hader!

Hands down, Bill Hader has become my favorite part of SNL, and I’ve been really enjoying his appearances in the Apatow Family of films, so to see him with the Pegg/Frost duo is SUPER exciting.

Color me there, guys.

Awkward. One of my favorite shows from when I was 4, mixes with one of my favorite shows at age 24.

IT’S TWO DECADES OF WEIRD!

Harry Potter Character Posters

Much like when Alderann exploded, when Warner Bros pushed back the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from this past November to this coming July, it was like a thousand voices screamed out all at once.

Never the less, the hype train proper is finally here, as WB just released a whole slue of those character posters that are oh so popular with the kids these days.

Look how grown up and ANGSTY everyone is!

Batman 2.0

As you may’ve heard by now, Batman, or at least Bruce Wayne, is “dead”.

Left in the era of Caveman by the evil Darkseid, Wayne obviously can’t continue behind the cape and cowl.  But Gotham needs a new champion of justice, and currently, it’s heroes are battling to take over the mantle.

Of course, with the comic industry being the way it is, we already know who wins.  The cape and cowl will be donned by former Robins Dick Grayson and Jason Todd in 2 drastically different Bat-titles.

Despite this new era of Batman, DC isn’t going the extra mile with these new comics…but that’s where Project Rooftop’s Batman 2.0 contest comes in.

Project Rooftop, in case you’re unfamiliar, is all about redesigning superheroes costumes.  So, given the current change with Batmen, it stands to reason they’d take on the classic look of the Dark Knight.

The Grand Prize winner is above, but I totally recommend you click through for some amazing interpretations of everyone’s favorite flying rat.

…with the new trailer for the soon-to-be-indie-kid fave, 500 Days of Summer.

As the trailer shows, the pitch is pretty easy: Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is becoming quite the actor) believes in true love. So of course, he falls head over heels for Summer (the lovely Ms. Deschanel), who doesn’t believe in true love.   The catch? By the time you meet the characters in this movie, they’ve split up.  In turn, Tom decides to look over the 500 days of their courtship to figure out where things went right and wrong.

This was one of the big buzz movies coming out of Sundance, and gained even more momentum after screenings last week at SXSW.  Either way, I’m completely sold by the trailer.

500 Days of Summer is due to hit theaters on July 17, 2009.

Wow, just wow.  The trailer for Spike Jonze’s Where The Wild Things Are has finally hit the web, courtesy of it’s appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show of all places and…I’m kinda, sorta at a loss of words.

Click play, and get ready to be stunned.

I’ve also added a gallery of stills from the film below (courtesy of USA Today) so you can keep gettin’ hyped.
