domarzione1) Paul Bettany has been added to the cast of Avengers: Age of Ultron as Vision, which makes sense both with respect to the comics version of that storyline and Bettany's prior role as the voice of JARVIS, since presumably Ultron will be a descendant of JARVIS (Hank Pym's not showing up until Ant Man) and Vision is the 'child' of Ultron. Also, Wanda's going to be in the movie and don't you wanna see Joss try to explain that relationship... It'll be like Her, except with much more death and destruction and pretend children.
2) According to Deadline Hollywood, the saga of Snowpiercer has been resolved. The movie will not be lobotomized in the Anglosphere, meaning the full 2.5 hour film that has been doing well in Europe and ate the Korean box office alive will be intact. However, it will no longer be a wide-release. It will be a platform release, which means that it will come out in places like LA and NY and London and Sydney first and, depending on how well it does, get more theaters if warranted by ticket sales. So, basically, people like me (in NYC) have to pay money to see it so that people who are not in "select cities" or near "select theaters" can see it on the big screen.
I've said all along that even if this was a ploy by The Weinstein Company to drum up attention and sales, I'd reward them if they offered the real thing on the screen. They are, so I will cough up my $15.
