Here’s the latest trailer for Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus,” the sorta-prelude to “Alien.” The visuals look remarkable, though what’s funny is that the occasional snippet of dialog underwhelms. In this respect I am reminded of Scott’s “Legend,” that had beautiful visuals–a Ridley Scott trademark–but little else to counterbalance them. Don’t quite know why that is. Perhaps […]
Don’t you hate when, after seemingly never-ending warnings that if you did or said a certain thing, that you would come to no good end, happened to be right? So, you not only have yourself eye-deep into a situation that’s unhealthy in the truest sense of the word, but you could have avoided the whole […]
According to Deadline, Netflix is considering bringing back “Terra Nova,” the time travel series recently cancelled by Fox. My problem with this idea is that “Terra Nova” wasn’t that entertaining to begin with, and extremely expensive to produce, so I am a bit dubious about this one. Besides, any television series that can have time […]
Here’s the new Barry Sonnenfeld‘s “Men In Black 3” trailer, which I hope is better than MIIB (“Men In Black 2”). That being said, for some strange reason what I want to see most from this film is Josh Brolin channeling Tommy Lee Jones, who also stars in the film.
The trailer for Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers” is here, and it kicks all kind of arse. It looks remarkable, and just the thought of such iconic Marvel characters on screen at the same time is the stuff that fanboy dreams are made of. Which is why it’s somewhat ironic that the poster sucks so much […]
Here’s the second, and probably final, post about what ‘John Carter’ needs to succeed, and is unfortunately it’s not something that Disney can do anything about at this point. If they want this film to be successful, they should have called it almost anything but “John Carter.” Now, keep in mind, this movie is based […]
Edgar Wright, whose last film, “Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World,” underwhelmed at the box office, will be directing “The Night Stalker,” with Johnny Depp playing the role of Carl Kolchak (a role originally made famous by Darren McGavin). This is great news, because Wright is an excellent director, though it makes me wonder what’s happening […]
You know there’s going to be a Tron 3, right? Sure, there’s been no official announcement (yet), but the signs are there, the tea leaves have been read, and the entrails have been interpreted. Correctly, I assume. Until that news comes, here’s a little news on “Tron: Uprising,” the new Grid-based series from Disney XD, […]
There’s talk about a sequel, starring Will Smith, to Francis Lawrence’s version of Richard Matheson’s story, “I Am Legend,” which is an interesting since Smith’s character dies at the end of the film. Now, if the story takes place prior to “I Am Legend,” I could see the logic, though logic would dictate that Will Smith […]
Space: 1999 is being rebooted, if Deadline is accurate. I don’t know if Gerry Anderson will be involved, though I hope that he is. Anyone that has followed my blog knows that I have been following this project, in its various forms, since its inception, and I am glad to hear that there will potentially […]
