What do you reckon? It's a small silly in places, certain, and it probably has a hardly any also many "Hunger Games" and "Matrix" similarities for some human beings's liking. However as an avid "Lost" fan—yes, I have seen the whole body, thank you very much—I'm craving a exhibit like this, and it's got some fantastic ingredients in place: the Abrams-Kripke duo with Favreau directing the pilot, the one-two punch of Billy Burke and Giancarlo Esposito (Gus!)… I'll certainly be giving this one a shot when it bows following fall at the very least.

Summer B.O. to lean heavily on franchises
"The Dark Knight Rises" could constitute as much as $400 million.
Sony's superhero reboot "The Incredible Spider-Male" is projected to yucky in the $200 million-plus range among the summer's tentpoles.
The summer box office has been flying high overseas for distinct weeks immediately, and the season officially kicks off Stateside Friday with the launch of Disney-Marvel's "The Avengers." However some prognosticators estimate that a wealth of tentpoles might not be enough to beat at the end year's record-setting summer.Summer B.O. is forecast to trail at the end year's $4.5 billion benchmark summer by 12%, with 17 films projected to earn more than $100 million domestically from the first weekend in May through Labor Day weekend, according to projections issued earlier this week by Barclays Capital. At the end summer, 19 pics topped the $100 million threshold domestically.A summer slowdown would be a turnaround from at the end year, when a weak first quarter sunk the overall B.O., only to rebound in summer. So far in 2012, year-to-date domestic B.O. is outpacing at the end year by 14% and much up 5% over a record-setting 2009.Still, bizzers aren't relying solely on superheroes to grease summer turnstiles: Seven billion-dollar franchise installments -- three more than at the end year's high -- are locate to bow through August."There's a huge variety of movies this summer," said Universal distribution prexy Nikki Rocco. "What I see is that it's going to be a gangbuster summer."The Barclays report estimates that "Avengers" and Warner Bros.' "The Dark Knight Rises" will be this season's highest-grossing films at encircling $400 million each. Sony's "The Incredible Spider-Male," Disney/Pixar's "Courageous" and DreamWorks Animation's "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted," from Paramount, are expected to follow in the $200 million-plus range.Such projections -- based on past comparisons and cast and filmmaker yucky potential -- don't account for imaginable breakout hits. The forecast doesn't comprehend specialty films.Consider at the end summer's largest surprises: Hardly any predicted "Bridesmaids" would go on to yucky $170 million domestically. The same goes for Woody Allen's $57 million specialty hit "Midnight in Paris."Looking ahead to this summer, Universal hopes to follow its "Bridesmaids" success with another raunchy comedy, "Ted," on July 13. Sony Pictures Classics, meanwhile, bows Allen's latest "To Rome With Like," which unspools June 22.There are plenty of other potential standouts.Fox's Ridley Scott sci-fier "Prometheus," which bows Stateside on June 8, has been tempting fans for months immediately; the studio made exclusive videos that feature elements from Scott's "Alien" franchise. Fox initially tried to distance the pic from "Alien," however since has embraced the connection.Universal's "Battleship" could surprise when it bows Stateside on May 18 if the film gains considerable steam outside its core teenage fanbase. The pic will have to impress quickly though, as Sony's "Men in Black III" launches the following weekend, followed by U's "Snow White and the Huntsman" on June 1, then "Prometheus" and "Madagascar 3." Bizzers are doing all they can to maximize the calendar both domestically and abroad."The marketplace really expands during the summer, however it's also really competitive," said Megan Colligan, prexy of domestic distribution and marketing for Paramount. "You have to employment extra dense to constitute your film stand outside."Paramount bumped back "The Dictator" from May 11 -- the same date as Warner Bros.' "Dark Shadows" -- to Wednesday, May 16, distancing the pic slightly from "Battleship." Par also went up "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" to June 29 after originally dating the sequel at the end year for Aug. 10.For "Retaliation," Par added action star Dwayne Johnson, who at this year's CinemaCon was referred to as "franchise Viagra," after he helped reinvigorate series installments "Quick Five" and "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island."On the overseas front, "Avengers" launched a week before its U.S. bow and scored a whopping $260.5 million from 39 overseas territories through May 1. "Battleship," which kick off its overseas run April 11 with $55.2 million from 26 territories, has amassed $185.4 million in a total of 47 markets."It certainly gets more challenging having the huge guns enter the marketplace," said Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, prexy of Warner Bros. Intl., who added that the Euro Cup soccer match brings challenges in dating the summer pics.Though domestic distribs get to bypass the soccer pitch, London Summer Olympics telecasts from July 27 to Aug. 12 could still keep some Stateside moviegoers at house.Fox launches two films during that period: sci-fi comedy "Neighborhood Watch" on July 27 and family pic "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days" Aug. 3. Summit bows dance pic "Step Up Revolution" on July 27. On the specialty front, LD Distribution's "Killer Joe" and Fox Searchlight's "Ruby Sparks" both launch the weekend of the opening ceremony. Generally speaking, Summer Olympics skew more male than the Winter Games, though both events mostly attract families and over-25 viewers.The games likely will have a limited effect on tentpoles such as "The Dark Knight Rises," bowing July 20, as well as U's "The Bourne Legacy" and Sony's "Total Recall," both of which launch Aug. 3. That's since those pics -- "The Dark Knight Rises," exceptionally -- are considered event pics.Pics including Sony's Meryl Streep-Tommy Lee Jones starrer "Hope Springs" and Warner Bros.' laffer "The Campaign" (both opening on Aug. 10); followed by Lionsgate-Summit's "The Expendables 2" on Aug. 17; and Open Road Films' action-comedy "Hit and Run" (Aug. 24) aid round outside the summer.Specialty marks are looking to stoke summer heat also.Fox Searchlight has three additional summer releases -- "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" (Friday), "Lola Versus" (June 
and "Beasts of the Southern Wild" (June 27) -- while Focus Features launches Cannes opener "Moonrise Kingdom" domestically on May 25, followed by "Seeking a Friend for the End of the Earth" on June 22, and Laika toon "ParaNorman" on Aug. 17.Other potential specialty standouts comprehend FilmDistrict's "Safety Not Guaranteed" on June 8, community French hit "The Intouchables," which Weinstein debuts Stateside May 25, and Sony Classics' Sundance pick-up "Celeste and Jesse Forever" on Aug. 3.

Tom Hiddleston Shows His Inner Loki In New After Hours
Tom Hiddleston will suit up as Loki again in "The Avengers," outside this Friday, and apparently getting back into character wasn’t very dense for the Brit. As he tells MTV News' Josh Horowitz, he's really a abundance more like the Norse god than we might have realized.
Of direction, his catch phrase "Loki'd" isn't quite as intimidating as some of Loki's stunts in "The Avengers," however we'll overlook that for immediately. Hiddleston chose to exhibit off some of his trickster tendencies encircling the MTV offices in a fresh After Hours, with devastating results.
We already speculated that Hiddleston was the greatest human being alive after his passionate defense of the superhero genre in The Guardian, however his first foray into After Hours immediately confirms it. Hiddleston showed off his pranking skills with a zeal we haven't seen since Mark Wahlberg threatened to stab Horowitz on "The Knife Exhibit."
So be warned when you see Hiddleston walking down the street, innocent passersby, since you just might get Loki'd. And, as Horowitz learned, that's not something you desire to have happen to you.
Directed by Joss Whedon, “The Avengers” stars Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, Hiddleston, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Cobie Smulders. It’s due in theaters on May 4.
