In upcoming movie news, a feature film version of Gerry Anderson’s 1970’s series, UFO, is coming to theaters in 2013. Directed by Matthew Gratzner, I hope that it stays as faithful as possible to the original series (though hopefully avoids some of the eccentricities of the series–unless they can be explained logically–like when female Shado […]
Edited 7/21 1220 Marvel has a new, downloadable “Avengers” poster. I like the glassy minimalist look that doesn’t attempt to reveal the whole film. I’m psyched because I am a fan of Joss Whedon‘s Serenity (which is somewhat ironic because I am not too crazy about “Firefly,” the television series which was the basis for […]
Updated 1451 “Captain America” opens nationwide this Thursday (with a midnight showing). I was considering catching it, though seeing that I have to get up at 6AM the following day, it’s not going to happen because I am not sure any movie is good enough for me to lose that much sleep. Instead, I will […]
I dropped over to Gizmodo, and noticed that the “Avengers” trailer had been pulled. As I said last post, the quality was abysmal, but it was something till the Quicktime trailer makes an appearance.
I have seen the “Avengers” teaser trailer (Check it out quick. It might not be there long), and it’s dark. I don’t mean ‘dark’ in a thematic sense; I mean it literally, in that someone snuck a video camera into the theater where the trailer was showing, and filmed it, kind of dark. What I […]
The “Batman Rises” trailer is online, though if you glance though the articles that I have written, you’ll notice that’s there’s nothing there about Batman. Zip. Nada. Zero. Nothing. This is because the Christopher Nolan’s Batman films don’t embody what I want to see in a superhero comic–which is, generally speaking, larger than life characters, […]
I heard that the trailer for Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers” was live. Supposedly, it wasn’t a sharp, Quicktime version, but something that–if the descriptions of those that saw it are accurate–almost sounds like it was pirated. Regrettably, it was pulled before I could catch it (though of course I have the benefit of reading comments […]
For anyone who still has a bad taste in their mouth from the 1995 version of “Judge Dredd,” starring Sylvester “I AM THE LAW!!!” Stallone, here’s a picture of Karl Urban as the famous (and perhaps infamous) embodiment of the law in Mega City One.
I posted the poster for the upcoming, “The Thing,” directed by Matthijs van Heijningen, Jr., yesterday, now here’s the trailer. Visually, it looks OK, but call me confused because in the original film the sole survivor at the beginning of the film spoke Norwegian (in fact, since “The Thing” is a prequel to John Carpenter’s film, […]
Originally, Alan Hughes was in the director’s seat for Warner Brothers’ “Akira,” then he suddenly wasn’t. Now, according to Aintitcool.com, that seat has been taken by Jaume Callet-Sierra. He’s done four films so far, “House of Wax,” “Goal II: Living The Dream,” “Orphan,” and “Unknown.” Of those four films, I saw “House of Wax.” It wasn’t […]
