Ben Affleck Wanted to Keep His 'Batman v Superman' Suit - But Was Told It'd Cost Him $100,000
Superhero memorabilia can be surprisingly pricey, something actor Ben Affleck learned recently while shooting “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
While promoting his part in “Gone Girl" during an interview on “Live with Kelly and Michael,” Affleck discussed his role as the caped crusader in the upcoming Zack Snyder flick, joking with hosts Kelly Ripa and Michel Strahan that he expects to get a lot of birthday party appearance requests following the high-profile movie’s 2016 release. After Strahan wondered whether or not Affleck will get to keep one of his Batman costumes following the film’s wrap, the actor admitted that he did inquire about the possibility — but faced some sticker shock when producers told him he’d have to pay up for the prop.
“I asked them, ‘So, what about maybe taking the suit home at the end of the thing?’ And they’re like, ‘For $100,000 you can,’” Affleck said. “I was like, ‘Maybe I’ll just take a picture.’”
Despite that disappointment, the actor said he understood why the suit would cost so much, telling Ripa and Strahan that audiences demand a higher-quality product these days when it comes to their superhero flicks, and that includes getting details like a perfectly-designed suit exactly right.
“These movies have become a big deal, so they spend a lot of money on every little detail, and they’re scrutinized and criticized,” Affleck said. “And the guy who did the suits did a very good job.”
Moviegoers can check out the high-quality costumes for themselves when “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” opens on March 25, 2016.

Lorde's 'Mockingjay' Single, 'Yellow Flicker Beat,' Is Finally Here (AUDIO)
As promised, Lorde has delivered the first single from the soundtrack for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1,” and it’s equal parts spooky and epic — and 100 percent awesome.
The track, “Yellow Flicker Beat,” is ostensibly about “Hunger Games" heroine Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), featuring an inner monologue that veers between uncertainty and fiery passion, an internal debate that Katniss faces as the “Hunger Games” trilogy progresses — and comes to a head in the “Mockingjay” films. Much like the posters promoting the film, which depict Katniss first reserved, then rising from the flames as a rebel warrior, there are hints in both the melody and Lorde’s lyrics about the teenage heroine slowly accepting her mantle, as lines like “the fire’s found a home in me” and “we lit the spark” foreshadow the showdown with the Capitol yet to come.
Listen to the track below, and get pumped up for “Mockingjay“‘s release later this fall. The entire soundtrack, curated by Lorde, is due out on November 18.
“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1” hits theaters on November 21.

Yes, Those Weird Rock Trolls Were Even a Part of the 'Frozen'/'Once Upon a Time' Crossover (VIDEO)
The fact that "Frozen" and "Once Upon a Time" are crossing over isn’t much a surprise. Disney owns both properties and both are phenomenally popular. But how the two properties are being integrated largely remains a mystery, mostly due to the fact that we’re not sure what the mechanics of “Once Upon a Time” are and how fairy tale characters are allowed to just pop in and out, seemingly at random. But oh well, the “Frozen” characters are on “Once Upon a Time” now and we’re all going to have to deal with it. Thanks to Vulture, too, you can see all the “Frozen” bits from last night’s premiere, in one place — down below, in this very post!
In the clips, you see Elsa (Georgina Haig), Anna (Elizabeth Lail), and Kristoff (Scott Michael Foster), as well as a computer-animated rock troll guy that looks awesomely similar to the character in the movie. Apparently Elsa and Anna are trying to figure out where their parents were going on the fateful sea voyage that ended up taking their lives. We spell an unnecessarily complicated back story coming up!
What’s kind of striking is how faithfully these characters were rendered for the small screen, and not just those weird troll guys (how funny is it that they only animated one of them? Trolls cost money, people!) The best part, in our estimation, is how they maintained Anna’s goofiness; it’s really endearing, no matter the format.
“Once Upon a Time” airs on Sundays on ABC. “Frozen Fever,” a short film spin-off, will premiere in 2015, most likely before the new “Frozen”-themed ride at EPCOT opens. Everything’s coming up “Frozen!”

NYFF Review: 10 Things You Should Know About 'Gone Girl'
A couple of nights ago, the New York Film Festival kicked off at Lincoln Center, with a starry, splashy premiere - “Gone Girl,” the long-awaited adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s best-selling mystery (there were more than 3.5 million copies in print in the first year the book was published). Everyone was there, including stars Ben Affleck (who took some good-natured ribbing about his upcoming role as Batman during the post-film Q&A) and Rosamund Pike and director David Fincher. But the real star was, of course, the movie.
“Gone Girl,” for those precious few who haven’t read the book, concerns the disappearance of a beautiful wife (Pike) and the media scrutiny that zeroes in on her charming husband (Affleck). Did he murder her? Was she kidnapped? Or is there something altogether stranger going on? These are the questions that swirl around “Gone Girl,” and as directed by Fincher (“Seven,” “Zodiac,” “The Social Network”), they become even murkier and harder to discern.
But was the adaptation worth the wait? And what of all the talk about the severe changes made to the original novel’s narrative? Well… Read on to find out. And, in keeping with the book, I’m splitting the review into 5 Things You Should Know If You Haven’t Read the Book (so: no spoilers) and 5 Things You Should Know If You Have (stuffed with spoilers).
If You Haven’t Read The Book, You Should Know…
1.) It’s A New Classic
David Fincher’s “Gone Girl” is an absolute masterpiece; a uniquely American rumination on marriage and modern society and one of the very best, most thrilling experiences you’ll have going to the movies this year. Every second of the movie is precision cut, every performance calibrated to perfection (more on that in a minute), and as big a kick as the movie is, it’s also deeply resonant on an emotional and political level. This is a movie where big ideas are nestled inside a nifty mystery. It’s profound and heartbreaking and deeply personal while also being a total cinematic rollercoaster. “Gone Girl” is, handily, one of the greatest cinematic accomplishments of the year, and one that I can easily see becoming even deeper and more thoughtful after multiple viewings.
2.) This Is The Best Ben Affleck Has Ever Been. Ever.
Ben Affleck, at the press conference following the NYFF screening, joked that he wanted to be “a director when I grow up.” But in recent years, that’s primarily what the actor has been known for, with his pair of Boston-set crime movies (“Gone Baby Gone” and “The Town”) and an Oscar-winning historical thriller (“Argo”). But with “Gone Girl,” he re-enters the acting arena full force, almost two years before taking on the brooding Dark Knight in “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice,” and it’s the best he’s ever been. Affleck is unassuming but electric, giving the kind of naturalistic, lived-in performance that seemed to always be slightly out of reach (even in the movies he directed himself). There’s also a weird real-life dimension to his performance, since he plays a man who is hounded relentlessly by the media; those scenes are both scary and familiar. Everything that might have bothered you about Affleck before - his handsome, schoolyard bully good looks, his goofy amiability, the occasional brittle edge - are turned inward and flipped upside down. His charm becomes a liability, his relentlessness a virtue, and your allegiance oscillates accordingly. It’s a high-wire performance and Affleck pulls it off admirably.
3.) Rosamund Pike is Officially a Movie Star Now
For years now Rosamund Pike, a wonderful British actress, has appeared on the sidelines of fairly big movies that, for whatever reason, failed to catapult her to the next level of her career (some James Bond movie, “Pride and Prejudice,” “Jack Reacher,” “The World’s End”). Well, all that is about to change. “Gone Girl” is the type of role that makes an actress a movie star, one that is able to showcase the performer’s wide array of talents and it doesn’t hurt that she’s lump-in-your-throat gorgeous. What’s so great is that none of these previous roles really prepares you for what she’s capable of in this movie. It’s brilliant work. Pike may play the gone girl, but she is definitely here to stay.
4.) The Music Is Unbelievable
For the past few movies, Fincher has relied heavily on Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, a pair of musicians who work most of the time in the fabulously popular rock outfit Nine Inch Nails, but for the filmmaker create haunting, electronically-tinged soundscapes. For “The Social Network,” they created glittery electro pop that kept with that movies John Hughes-goes-to-hell feel, and with “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” they approximated the snowy Swedish landscape in music form (listening to the accompanying album practically gave you frostbite). For “Gone Girl,” they create something wholly different than the other two scores but yet still keeping within the same wheelhouse - and it’s totally unbelievable. Fincher instructed them to think of the music he heard in a spa while getting his back adjusted, a kind of malformed sweetness that could, over the course of the movie, curdle and rot. So taking that idea, they created the musical equivalent of Nick and Amy’s relationship. On the surface, it seems so beautiful. But underneath…
5.) It’s Really Funny
A movie about a potential homicide (or, at the very least, a violent kidnapping), doesn’t seem like it is the type of material that should be stuffed with jokes. But yet it is. Fincher’s films have always been under-appreciated when it comes to their levels of comedy, but there are great gags in almost every movie and “Gone Girl” is easily one of his funniest. The satirical element of the film, the part that skewers the media (and how we consume that media) is only slightly heightened. You can see enough real life in it, even if the comedic element is boosted a bit. And Pike and Affleck are both really, ridiculously funny too. It’s just a joy.
And If You Have Read The Book, You Should Know…
Seriously… No turning back…
Okay…
1.) Structurally, Things Remain Intact
One of the bigger questions when it came to the film adaptation of “Gone Girl” was whether or not the book’s shifting perspective, half told in real time as the investigation unfolds and half told through slippery diary entries written by Amy before her disappearance, would make it through to the movie. It does. And it’s brilliant. Flynn and Fincher found the perfect way to translate that very literary device to the big screen in a way that was truly thrilling, especially when you consider that…
2.) The Twist Works Even Better Here
Of course, if you’ve read the book then you’re reading this section of the review and you know that Amy is actually alive (!) and staged her death to get revenge on her very lousy husband. And what’s kind of amazing is how this plays out. About halfway through the movie, there’s just a montage of “how she did it,” and the shock of the twist just reverberated in the theater (and, honestly, through the rest of the movie). The montage is, of course, put together with the typical level of Fincherian flair, and cements the movie’s nearly hypnotic power. Just… wow.
3.) The Ending Is Pretty Much the Same
There was a lot of talk early on in the process that Flynn had deconstructed the last act of the book and had thrown it out altogether. But that just isn’t true. There are a few embellishments, but generally, things are the same. So don’t worry, there haven’t been any major shake-ups in terms of the narrative beats and it’s just as perverse as it’s always been. There is one little bit that’s been added that will delight everyone, but you’re going to have to watch it to find out what that is.
4.) Tyler Perry Makes A Terrific Tanner Bolt
The biggest X-factor, probably, in terms of Fincher’s cast, was the addition of Tyler Perry as Tanner Bolt, the smarmy lawyer that swoops in to defend Nick when the public scrutiny becomes too great. Now, Fincher has a knack for great (sometimes left field) casting choices, but Perry seemed odd even by those admittedly looser standards. But you know what? Perry totally works. He’s really funny and confident and oily and it is yet again a testament to the power of David Fincher that he could choose someone primarily known for dressing up in drag and putting on an affected, slightly harmful stereotypical voice, and making him stand strongly alongside Affleck and the other actors.
5.) “The Scene” Is Amazing
There’s a sequence late in the book that, when I was reading it, literally made my jaw hinge open. The sequence is, I am happy to report, fully realized, in all of its bloody glory, in the movie. So just prepare yourself (it also has the best soundtrack cue in the entire thing). I’m still being cagey because I’m worried people will keep reading into the spoiler section even if they’re not supposed to, but be prepared… it gets gross.

Box Office: Why 'The Equalizer' Star Denzel Washington Is Such a Reliable Hitmaker
Why was anyone surprised that “The Equalizer” was a solid hit, opening at an estimated $35.0 million?
Tracking suggested that the Denzel Washington movie would open only in the high 20s; after all, it’s a movie based on a second-tier 1980s TV action drama that no one under 50 remembers fondly, and it’s competing in the marketplace with Liam Neeson's similar “A Walk Among the Tombstones.”
Nonetheless, “The Equalizer” pulled off the fourth largest September opening ever and marked the 12th straight $20-million-plus opening for a Washington wide-release movie, a track record stretching back a decade.
Clearly, Washington remains, at 59, one of Hollywood’s most reliable box office draws. (And like fellow AARP-aged action hero Neeson, Washington shows no sign of slowing down.)
What is he doing right? What does he have that others don’t? Here are a few things.
Consistency. The world-weary, vengeful man-of-action role that Washington plays in “Equalizer” may seem awfully familiar to those who’ve seen him in “2 Guns,” “Safe House,” “The Book of Eli,” and many other films. But if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
Selectivity. A corollary is that Washington tends to pick projects well-suited to his persona. He also likes to work with the same directors over and over, those who best know how to bring forth his latent intensity. (He made five films with Tony Scott, four with Spike Lee, three with Ed Zwick, and two each with Jonathan Demme, Carl Franklin, and now, “Training Day" and "Equalizer" director Antoine Fuqua.) And for all their superficial similarity, the movies he’s picked remain unique; not one has spawned a sequel — though "Equalizer" looks like it will be the first to do so, marking the first time in his 33-year film career that Washington has played a character more than once.
Volatility. Washington seldom plays against type, which makes those rare occasions when he does so all the more shocking and exciting. (See “Training Day,” “American Gangster,” and “Flight.”) But even in his quiet, heroic roles, there’s always a hint of menace below the surface, of repressed rage waiting to explode. Washington seethes as well as anyone in movies, but it’s when he unleashes that wolfish grin that you know someone else is in trouble.
Craftsmanship. “Equalizer” and other Washington action thrillers may be B-movies writ large, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t devote his full talent to each one. He brings such earnest, righteous anger to each one that you’d think he was doing an Arthur Miller play, not a Hollywood shoot-‘em-up.
Charisma. Washington enjoys near universal appeal. As the audience breakdown for “Equalizer” has shown, he attracts male and female ticketbuyers in equal numbers. He also does well overseas (he and Will Smith having long since put to rest the dubious Hollywood conventional wisdom that foreign audiences don’t care for black actors). Remarkably, only four of Washington’s movies have earned more than $100 million in North American theaters (“Safe House,” “American Gangster,” “Remember the Titans,” and “The Pelican Brief”), but he has 19 nine-figure movies if you add in foreign box office.
Prestige. Or, if you prefer, Talent. Washington has six Oscar nominations and two victories, so critics like him as much as regular audiences do. His name on a movie poster is a sign of quality, a sign that even his latest action thriller will be smarter and better-acted than most. He even landed “The Equalizer” a spot in this month’s Toronto International Film Festival, which probably convinced many critics that the film was more prestigious than it actually is. And critical approval is still important to the older audience that comprises Washington’s bread and butter (some 65 percent of “Equalizer” moviegoers were over 30).
Timing. Or, if you prefer, Luck. It didn’t hurt “Equalizer” that it came out in September (usually a box office dead zone), that its only competition among new releases was family stop-motion animated feature “The Boxtrolls" (which opened at No. 3 with an estimated $17.3 million, about half the take of "Equalizer"), and that its only real competition at the multiplex was Neeson’s week-old ‘Tombstones," which plummeted five spots to No. 7 and grossed just an estimated $4.2 million, down 67 percent from its debut a week ago. So Washington has had the good fortune to open against movies that either don’t compete directly against him or, if they do, are too weak to pose a serious threat.
Not everything Washington touches turns to gold. The small indie dramas that he’s directed, “Antwone Fisher" and "The Great Debaters,” may have been labors of love, but neither grossed more than $30.2 million worldwide. Still, in a mainstream thriller or drama, there’s no more reliable sign of a crowd-pleaser than Washington’s name on the marquee.

Liam Neeson Re-teams With Seth MacFarlane for 'Ted 2'
After working together on the less-than-successful western comedy “A Million Ways to Die in the West,” Liam Neeson and Seth MacFarlane are still trying to create comic gold together, and are teaming up again for “Ted 2.”
MacFarlane confirmed Neeson’s involvement in the project on Twitter Wednesday, writing that the actor was on set shooting scenes earlier in the week. He also noted that Morgan Freeman was currently filming for the sequel to “Ted,” the 2012 talking bear flick starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, with MacFarlane voicing the foul-mouthed title character.
Yesterday Liam Neeson, today Morgan Freeman. Not a bad week for #Ted2.
- Seth MacFarlane (@SethMacFarlane) September 24, 2014
MacFarlane and Wahlberg are back for round two with the sequel, and Amanda Seyfried is filling in for Kunis in the female lead role this time around. There’s no word on who Neeson is playing, but any cameo from the action star will be a welcome one.
“Ted 2” is set to hit theaters on June 26, 2015.

Vin Diesel Shares 'Fast and Furious 7' Pic of Paul Walker
The late Paul Walker may be gone, but he is certainly not forgotten. And the actor will have one last chance to shine on the big screen in “Fast and Furious 7.”
His co-star, Vin Diesel, shared a photo on Facebook of the two of them in character on the set of the upcoming movie. Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Connor are both seen wearing suits and looking like they’re in intense conversation. In the background are the odds and ends typically found in a garage.
Walker died in a car crash last November after he’d shot a few scenes for the movie. Production was halted while the cast and crew grieved. When it resumed, Universal and producers announced that Walker’s character would “retire” and not be killed off.
Now, “Fast and Furious” has wrapped production in advance of its April 3, 2015 release. Diesel also posted a photo of Dominic wrapping his hands and noted that a trailer was coming soon:

Of Course There Will Be A College Class About Marvel
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the latest pop culture phenomenon to get the academic treatment.
The University of Baltimore will be offering a class this upcoming spring called “Media Genres: Media Marvels,” which will examine the sprawling MCU in all its many incarnations. Naturally, this will include an examination of Marvel’s stories vis-à-vis Joseph Campbell’s famous “hero’s journey,” which has inspired everything from “Star Wars" to "Community.”
Professor Arnold T. Blumberg explained in a press release, “One thing we’ll do is dive into the impact of the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy' film, which proved two things: Mainstream movie audiences are not remotely tired of superhero movies; and Marvel Studios can now release a sci-fi adventure that actually features talking trees and raccoons. It's not that they're getting away with it - they've created a universe in which fans completely accept these developments, and they're ready for even more.”
Pop culture infiltrating academia is nothing new - it’s pretty interesting actually! Writer and all-around mad genius Grant Morrison’s 2011 book "Supergods: What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants, and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human" is just one such study of the genre. Then again, it is possible to reach maximum Marvel saturation. Campbell didn’t call his book “The Hero with a Thousand Faces” for nothing, you know.
