Now this is how to cut a trailer! I know virtually nothing about Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus,” other than it makes use of the “Space Jockey” from the Alien films, and contains no xenomorphs. That being said, the trailer makes it seem like there’s a “Ghosts Of Mars” vibe going on. By which I mean that […]
I found this makeup test for The Green Goblin, from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man from 2002. It’s visually closer in appearance to the character from the Marvel comics, and certainly will not bring any comparisons to the Power Rangers, as the version that Raimi finally used, did. via SuperHeroHype
I am not sure what it is that irritates me so much about the upcoming “Battleship,” though I think that I will give it a shot. First, the movie is budgeted somewhere in the ballpark of $200 million. That’s $200 million dollars for a movie based upon a Hasbro board game. Now, Transformers was hardly […]
Here’s the trailer for Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men In Black 3. It looks interesting, and while I have to admit that Josh Brolin makes a great Tommy Lee Jones, it’s become apparent–if it weren’t already–that the star of this film is Will Smith. Apropos of nothing, I find it interesting that, according to IMDB, Sonnenfeld was […]
According to Deadline, Patty Jenkins has left as director of the sequel to 2011’s “Thor.” This is remarkable because she just got the assignment a month or two ago. Marvel Studios can be notoriously difficult to work with, and more than a little bit tight with the purse strings, though I don’t want to assume […]
Help me understand something: On one hand you have Paul Verhoeven, the director of “Robocop,” “Hollow Man,” “Total Recall,” “Starship Troopers,” and others. Each of those films, filled to the brim with gory, sexy, subversive goodness that not too many current films even attempt to approach, never mind equal. So, considering all the really bad […]
Here’s the latest trailer for Disney’s “John Carter.” I have also included a link to some commentary from Vulture, where they ask the same question that I asked early today, which essentially is: How is Disney going to make this film profitable when they aren’t all that sure how to market it in the first […]
Here’s some new photos from “John Carter,” based upon Edgar Rice Burroughs’s “John Carter: Warlord of Mars” novels. I don’t know about this movie. I haven’t read the novels it’s based upon, but to me it lacks the spectacle that something that costs in the neighborhood of $250 million should. That’s a lot of cabbage […]
Edited 10/29/11 While it’s great to see George R.R. Martin, and his superlative writing, finally getting some attention with HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” though when I thought about which of his books that I would like to see as a movie, that particular series wasn’t my first choice. That would have been “Wild Cards” (and […]
The image on the left is the movie poster for the feature-film version of the Gerry Anderson-produced 1970’s science fiction series, UFO. While I like the vagueness, I am not too sure that moviegoers that have never seen the original film will know what’s it’s about. Though, when you think about it, they don’t have […]
