After joking that he will finally start writing the script for The Avengers, Joss Whedon announces that today will be the first day of filming on the superhero team-up movie.

“Tomorrow we start shooting (I THINK I’m legally permitted to say that),” he wrote last night on Whedonesque. “Day one. That’s right. We’ll be shooting the pivotal death/betrayal/product placement/setting up the sequel/coming out scene, at the following address: … [Marvel Lawyers rush in, take Joss's keyboard, blowtorch a picture of his family like in Stormy Monday, drink his milkshake, leave the seat up, fluff his pillows, violently unfluff his pillows, leave]

“… Went too far. My bad. Anyhoo, it should be a fun day, followed by the eighty thousand other fun days it will take to finish this. I’ll be checking in from time to time, if there’s news or I crave attention (i.e. am awake) . None of it will be Avengers news — I have some very denty pillows to remind of that — but I may have tidbits.”

So after what seems like forever The Avengers is finally coming together. The Avengers will be filming, for the majority, in Albuquerque Studios in New Mexico as well as New York and Cleveland.

The Avengers stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Renner, and Mark Ruffalo. The movie Opens on May 4th 2012.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes has been hyped up for the last month of so after being announced that you movie will be releases months earlier than originally intended as well as the 5-second glimpse of the intellectual, mass-murdering monkey. Now today will stir the buzz even more.

The release of the first official trailer will leave some in aw at it's greatness. They will be talking of this being the amazing story of new and great things for the Apes franchise. I am hesitant to say I don't think I'm one of those people.

I haven't lost faith quite yet, but so far I'm not too impressed. While the quick scene of the terrorizing ape standing in a couple's bedroom staring at them, gave me chills, the rest of the trailer just made me think I was watching a sequel movie called I, Ape. Seriously all I could think was that I was watching a remake of I, Robot where the robots were wearing monkey suits. but I am not giving up hope yet. I will give it more time before I completely cast my vote.

But I will tell you that I'm still excited to see Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) fighting off super-intelligent apes as his first A-list movie after the Harry Potter series. So for the sake of Malfoy lets have those fingers crossed that WETA Digital is just monkeying around and that they didn't want the amazing perfection of their apes be released yet.

    Tim Miller, who worked in visual effects on X-Men and X2,  will make his directorial debut on Fox’s Deadpool, Deadline reports.

    The X-Men Origins: Wolverine spinoff, which is expected to star Ryan Reynolds as the merc with a mouth, features an R-rated screenplay by Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick that producer Lauren Shuler Donner insists stays true to its comic roots, with Deadpool breaking the fourth wall.

    Donner has described the movie as “a total reboot,” saying, “We’re either going to pretend that X-Men Origins: Wolverine didn’t happen, or mock it, which he could do.”

    So a debut director. Hero of Bust? Fingers crossed, because I know we all have that same deep, dark, fourth wall, desire for the greatest superhero/mercenary movie to ever see the silver screen, be no other than Deadpool.
