I was reading Deadline: Hollywood earlier today when I noticed that Ruairi Robinson has landed a development deal based upon the video for his short, Leviathan. If you’ve been reading this blog, you’ll recall that I featured Robinson’s The Silent City, a few years ago. I’ve reposted it below. The thing is, Ruairi Robinson does great trailers, but […]
As someone who’s enjoyed the television show that the Mission Impossible movies are based on it has always bothered me that the movies are essentially the Tom Cruise Show. Sure, there’s a supporting cast, but unlike in the series, they’re there entirely to support Cruise’s Ethan Hunt. I understand that he’s a big star–though by no means […]
“”Animal” doesn’t break any new ground, but it is attractive to look at, and has some great pratical creature effects.” Anyone who’s read this blog knows that I don’t particularly enjoy features from The Asylum. For those unfamiliar with the company they produced movies like Sharknado, all those Mega Shark movies, as well as ZNation. My […]
I honestly think that this latest The Avengers: Age Of Ultron (wanted to type ‘Luton‘ for some reason) trailer is the most cohesive yet. Unlike past trailers each character gets an introduction, as well as a bit of the spotlight. We see a bit more of Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and they look pretty awesome. […]
I have to admit that I was getting a very cool Tron vibe (with a plot that’s curiously similar to what I have read about the–supposedly–upcoming sequel to Tron: Legacy), watching the trailer for Pixels. It actually looks pretty clever, a impression that I suspect that I am going to have to abandon seeing that […]
This is sort of neat. It’s a motion poster based upon Netflix’s upcoming 13-issue series Daredevil, where we see Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) turn into Daredevil. I should also mention that it’s not the red suit–they’re keeping that under wraps, but it’s pretty cool nonetheless. I also want to say that I am not going […]
I was reading Washington Post Express earlier today, when I saw a story that gave me pause: Slenderman (as opposed to Slender Man) stabbing suspects ruled competent to stand trial. Slenderman is fascinating because he’s one of the first–as far as I am aware–memes of the Internet Age to take on a life of its own. […]
The official trailer for ITV’s The Thunderbirds Are Go! has dropped, and I like the way that they tried to integrate practical sets with CGI people and vehicles. (I also liked what appears to be a shoutout to Gerry Anderson’s Space: 1999, shown below). Unfortunately, despite efforts to make the CGI characters look like puppets […]
I’ll believe it when I see it. Take this with a huge grain of salt, for two reasons. First, the last I heard Joseph Kosinski was aiming to shoot Gran Turismo (a racing video game), which means that that if the sequel to Tron: Legacy is indeed shooting this fall, the likelihood that he would be […]
This is a really cute trailer (and casting Lewis Black as Anger, sheer genius, in an obvious sort of way considering he’s built a career out of being pissed). There’s something about Pixar productions that makes them feel more interesting–generally speaking–than those from companies such as Dreamworks SKG and Illumination/Universal. That’s not necessarily to say that […]
