I am not quite sure what an “announcement trailer” is, since I have always thought that every trailer exists to announce something (namely, that a new movie is coming). That being said, I think that Peter Jackson is a talented director, though I was most interested when I learned that Guillermo Del Toro was at […]
Here’s the trailer for Jonathan Liebesman’s “Wrath of the Titans,” the sequel to Louis Leterrier’s “Clash of the Titans,” which is itself a remake of a 1981 film by Desmond Davis. Liebesman also directed “Darkness Falls,” which took a great idea–the story of the Tooth Fairy, and her murderous attachment to the collection of teeth, […]
While I suspect that the primary reason this was released today was because so many people had crappy pirated versions, I have to admit that they’re doing the right thing, which is feeding the almost rabid interest this movie seems to be developing. I also noticed that, while Bane doesn’t talk much, when he does […]
Here’s a post from Nikki Finke and Deadline, talking about Warner Bros. current problems revolving around cost overruns on some of their upcoming films, like “The Lone Ranger,” and “Arthur & Lancelot.” I reference it because there’s a mention of Guillermo Del Toro’s aborted “At The Mountains Of Madness” in the fourth paragraph.
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 […]
I don’t know what it is, but I enjoyed this trailer. I have always been a fan of the Stooges, and this is a daring film because there are some that are devoted to Larry, Curly and Moe who will act as if the Farrelly Brothers are treading upon hallowed ground with the their film. […]
Tom Fontana, creator of television shows like “Homicide” and “Oz” is coming back to television with “The Box,” a police procedural with a difference: It revolves around an interrogation room of a police station. This is a very cool idea, though I think that Fontana could make a television show about the telephone book and […]
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 […]
