HitFix has exclusively premiered this brand new theatrical poster for Captain America: The First Avenger and also have your chance to see the movie at Comic Con.Film Music Magazine has done an extensive interview with legendary composer Alan Silvestri about his work on Captain America: The First Avenger. Here's one snippet:
CAPTAIN AMERICA is a very interesting combination of influences. You're dealing with parallel universes, because it's a period piece that's set in a futuristic, high tech sci-fi environment. Joe wanted a full-on orchestra score to allow for movement between these two different genre worlds. He was very instinctive about that, which was great for me. And he actually said the "Theme" word in our first and only meeting. That's something I have a great fondness for me. To have some kind of musical signature either for a character or some aspect of the film, truly holds the score together. A theme makes the music feel like one piece in a sense.
Comics Alliance has come across the art of Two Face in Batman Arkham City. Is there going to be a major Batman character that's NOT in this game?

Remember that? It's the first Dark Knight Rises viral and it's being referenced again because the chanting in that video is in the brand new teaser trailer for the film. According to Comic Book Movie, the chanting is Moroccan And it means "He Rises, He Rises." But who rises? Batman? Bane? Gordon? R'as al Ghul?

You know, the reason I took that was—well, at first, I turned it down with the comment, "Thank you, but I'm not interested in that." And I told my agency why, and I guess the studio asked me why I would turn it down, so they told them. And they said, "No, no, no, please, it's not anything like the TV show." Because that's what I thought. I was like, "I don't want to do the 'Bang! Zoom! Kapow!' thing, saying things like, 'Get to the Batcave!'" But they said, "No, no, this is completely different," and I said, "Well, all right, I'll read the script." So they sent me the script. My edict is, "Everything I do really has to be well-written," and it's really served me well. And I read that, and I went, "You know what? This is really well-written, and it's complex." Even the Commissioner Gordon role is complex, because he's conflicted. Basically good, but he has some major character flaws. And it was, like, "God, this is really interesting! This isn't like a kid's cartoon series. This is really in-depth!"
