Mild spoilers below. If you haven’t seen “Mama,” you might want to move on. It’s early going yet, but Universal is planning on sequel to Andy Muschietti’s “Mama.” The horror film, made at a cost of $15 million, has earned over $89 million worldwide, and while that’s a great return on investment, the movie itself […]
And I don’t mean Hugo Drax, the villain in 1979’s James Bond adventure, “Moonraker.” Casting for Marvel Studios’ “Guardians of the Galaxy” have been going on since mid-2012, and recently StarLord has been cast. Now another member of his crew, the lethal alien Drax The Destroyer, may have been found. According to Collider, Jason Momoa […]
Marvel Studios and James Gunn have found their Starlord, and he is Chris Pratt. Most recently he’s starred in “Zero Dark Thirty” as well as “Parks and Recreation” on NBC. I haven’t seen ‘Zero Dark’ and don’t watch “Parks and Recreation,” so I have no idea who this guy is, though after reading on various […]
Here’s the latest teaser trailer from “Iron Man 3,” from the folks at Marvel Studios.
I apologize for the earlier title, in which I wrote ‘Trailer’ instead of ‘Poster.’ I have posted before that Tony Stark in “Iron Man 3” is going to spend a bit of time on the Dark Side (which is an interesting turn of phrase considering Disney now owns Lucasfilm), and in the process end up […]
It’s been awhile, relatively speaking, since I last posted. That will tend to happen when I don’t feel like making a mountain out of a molehill, like with the rumor that Marvel is considering adding either Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler to the cast of “Guardians of the Galaxy” (as Rocket Raccoon). If I said […]
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is supposedly being considered for the role of Peter Quill on Marvel’s upcoming “Guardians Of The Galaxy.” That’s an interesting bit of news, though not for the reasons that are often quoted. If you read further, you’ll probably hear lots of mentions of his performance in […]
This morning, I decided to see how much Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” cost to produce. Box Office Mojo didn’t list its production costs, but with a modicum of searching I learned that the budget was probably around $250 million (most of which you can see on screen). Now, my whining comes in […]
“The Journey May Be Unexpected, But Beautiful Vistas, Interesting Challenges, And Humor In The Oddest Of Places Make The Journey More Than Worthwhile.” A few hours ago I got back from seeing Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit” An Unexpected Journey” at 48 fps (frames per second) and 3D, and I have to say that the faster […]
A bigger man would just be happy that Disney has put a sequel to 2010’s “Tron: Legacy” on a fast track, and leave it at that. Luckily for me, I have never been that big a man because for years on various message boards I have said that there would be a sequel, if only […]
