[HOLLYWOOD NEWS] Dwayne Johnson Hints at Potential DC Movie Character Role
Black Adam, for those unfamiliar, is a powerful super-villain who originated in 1945, before he became the primary nemesis for Shazam in the 1970s. However, since the start of the 21st-century, the character has evolved into more of a complex anti-hero and become an important fixture in the DC Comics’ New 52 universe. Dwayne Johnson has been rumored to play the character before, though any chance of a Shazam live-action movie currently seems to be dead in the water – which doesn’t mean Johnson won’t play Black Adam in a different DC movie, of course.

[HOLLYWOOD NEWS] ‘Prometheus 2′ Gets a New Writer and likely to be released in 2016
Ridley Scott’s quasi-Alien prequel Prometheus is one of the more divisive sci-fi features churned out by Hollywood in recent times, but its $400 million worldwide gross kept its sequel hopes alive and well.
According to the latest report from 'The Wrap', 20th Century Fox recently claimed a March 4th, 2016 release date for an unspecified Scott feature, which many were quick to guess was staked out with Prometheus 2 in mind. Further, the script draft initially penned by Jake Paglen is now, allegedly, being revised by Michael Green (Read Details here)

[TECH NEWS] Scientists create 'living materials'
MIT engineers have succeeded in creating "biofilms", which combine bacterial cells with nonliving materials, such as gold nanoparticles, that can conduct electricity or emit light.
The hope is that biofilm, that slippery, slimy material made of bacteria that forms substances like dental plaque, may someday create functioning circuits that could be used to manufacture photovoltaic solar panels or act as "biosensors" that could sense toxins.
The hybrid biofilms have the attributes of living cells, which reproduce and assemble into structure and react to their environment, and materials such as metal that can conduct electricity.
The researchers used E. coli bacteria for their initial experiments because the biofilms produced with it contain "curli fibers", protein chains that help material attach to surfaces. The curli fibers can be modified by adding peptides, which trap nonliving nanoparticles, such as gold or quantum dots, a semiconductor material the size of a nano particle that can be embedded into living cells. The result is a biofilm that reproduces and can conduct electricity.
The research, lead by Timothy Lu, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and biological engineering, was published in the March 23 issue of the journal Nature Materials.

[HOLLYWOOD TRAILER] ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Trailer #2: The Greatest Battle Begins
For a summer blockbuster that’s been labeled the most expensive superhero film of all-time, it’s odd that we haven’t see a new trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past since October.
So we’ve still been waiting to see a trailer where the X-Men of the past and future fight, and fight against Sentinels. Now that time has finally come.
From Sentinels old and new and a man with metal skin, to Sunspot’s fiery transformation to Iceman’s infamous ice slide, this one has all the key mutant superhero powers we know and love from the pages of the X-Men comics, with plenty of dark and brooding story and emotion to go with it.

[SCIENCE NEWS] A Neuroscientist’s Radical Theory of How Networks Become Conscious
It’s a question that’s perplexed philosophers for centuries and scientists for decades: Where does consciousness come from? We know it exists, at least in ourselves. But how it arises from chemistry and electricity in our brains is an unsolved mystery.
Neuroscientist Christof Koch, chief scientific officer at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, thinks he might know the answer. (Read here)

[HOLLYWOOD NEWS] ‘Fast & Furious 7′ to Replace Paul Walker with CGI & Body Doubles
In November 2013, actor Paul Walker unexpectedly died in a fiery car crash in Santa Clarita, California while on break from filming Fast & Furious 7. Only half of the film had been completed, so any plan the studio made had to take this into account as well as respect the circumstances surrounding the actor’s death.
First, there were rumors that the whole film would have to be rewritten, then there was an idea floating around that Walker’s younger brother would be used as a body double along with CGI.
Apparently, the truth now lies somewhere in the middle. According to NY Daily News

[HOLLYWOOD NEWS] ‘Captain America’ Writers Offer ‘Captain America 3′ Story Hint
The wait for Captain America: The Winter Soldier is nearly over. Since the film is not only a continuation of Steve Rogers’ story but also another step along the over-arching path that the Marvel cinematic universe is moving down, it will likely open up many more questions about what’s to come in Captain America 3, The Avengers: Age of Ultron and beyond.
Screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely were called back to write The Winter Soldier after the success of Captain America: The First Avenger. They’re now putting together ideas for Captain America 3, which is expected to be released in May 2016.
In an interview with Den of Geek, Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely spoke in vague terms about the kind of direction they’re planning to take, before dropping a fairly major hint.

[HOLLYWOOD UPDATE] First Look At Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch & Hulkbuster Designs in ‘The Avengers 2′
With the final Phase 2 films all in production and the first Phase 3 film (Ant-Man) beginning to shoot later this year, the headlining segment was on The Avengers: Age of Ultron, which rounds off Phase 2 next summer. While there are several new characters the sequel will introduce, the pair earning the most attention are the “brother-sister act” of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen, respectively. (Full Story here)
Quicksilver has the simple power of being able to run at super high speeds
Scarlet Witch’s abilities are a little more complex, they involve a combination of telekinesis and perhaps even the ability to read the history of objects she touches.
Here’s the concept art released years ago for a possible Hulkbuster design for the Marvel Cinematic Universe
