In fear of retreading old ground, Captain Marvel co-writer Nicole Perlman has conceded that the origin story of one Carol Danvers will undergo “a lot of reinvention” in time for the movie’s 2019 release date.
Word comes by way of the Any Time with Vin Forte podcast (via Omega Underground), where Perlman noted that Captain Marvel actually shares a similar origin story to that of Green Lantern, which will lead to some creative tinkering given that the Ryan Reynolds-fronted flop is still relatively fresh in the minds of moviegoers.
More News From The Web
Come 2019, it will be Brie Larson (Room, Kong: Skull Island), who was last seen with her nose in the books, donning that iconic costume as the Marvel heroine.
When quizzed about the pressures of crafting a compelling movie around Captain Marvel, Perlman replied as so:

Natalie Portman’s titular gun-toting outlaw goes through Hell and high water in today’s brand new trailer for Jane Got a Gun, reminding us that, yes, Gavin O’Connor’s beleaguered Western is still alive and kicking, and that the drama has set its sights on a 2016 release.
Leading the charge as Jane Hammond is Portman, a wanted fugitive who finds herself smack bang between the crosshairs of the Bishop Boys, a band of gleefully violent outlaws that hunt the dusty prairies in search of our badass lead. In fear of their wraith and, in particular, that of their leader (Ewan McGregor), Jane is left with little option but to approach her former fiancé Dan Frost, as they both batten down the hatches in order to weather the storm of bullets, blood and violence.
Jane Got a Gun may go down for its storied production, with numerous casting switcheroos...

Publisher EA has ruled out the possibility of implementing paid-for Dlc in the upcoming Need for Speed reboot.
That’s according to an exhaustive Q&A posted by the company in light of yesterday’s delay to the PC version of the game, where EA ran through all manner of thoughts and concerns including customization options, technical specs and the decision to ditch both Dlc and in-game micro-transactions.
On the topic of how Need for Speed will perform on consoles, Swedish dev Ghost Games – extending its time at the helm after 2013’s Rivals – revealed that the framerate is locked at 30 frames-per-second, with both developer and publisher taking heed of the game’s considerable production values. In fear of compromising the actual performance of Nfs across Xbox One and PS4, the decision was then made to prioritize smooth, consistent gameplay.

Creator Scott W. Perry tells Fango, “After the success of the first season, we’re moving forward with a bigger slate of movies with more talented filmmakers to come. Ten episodes are confirmed, and we hope to fill the season with 12 in total.”
The first batch of In Fear Of entries, currently visible on YouTube, range from “Monophobia: Fear of Being Alone” to “Achluophobia: Fear of the Dark.” Pictured here are Jeremiah Kipp’s “Scotomaphobia: Fear of Blindness” (pictured right and in two photos below) and Perry’s own “Gerontophobia: Fear of Aging.” “Scotomaphobia,” Perry tells us, “stars Susan Adriensen as Emily, a woman whose downward spiral of addiction in her life coincides with her increasing loss of vision.”
Kipp elaborates: “Our main character is going blind, so imagine an episode of Mr. Magoo where our blurry-eyed protagonist is bumping lines of coke, having shrieking booze-fueled confrontations, putting herself in...
