In September of last year I wrote of how Pacific Rim Will Spawn A Sequel. One of the reasons that I said that this was the case was because Guillermo Del Toro said at the time that he was writing it with Travis Beacham, who wrote the original with Del Toro. Yesterday ScreenRant mentioned that Del […]
Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff, of Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI) aren’t names that most people are familiar with, though if you have seen Alien, Predator, The Thing (2011), Monster Squad, Mortal Combat, The Fly, The Fly II among many, many others, then you are more familiar with their work than you think. Despite such a pedigree, the film industry have […]
James Gunn, director of the upcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy, posted this picture by Poster Posse on his Twitter feed today, and it brings back all sorts of memories. If Guardians touches on the feelings that Star Wars evoked, even a little bit, it’s going to be awesome.
Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days Of Future Past (review coming soon) just crossed the $500 million dollar barrier, making it the highest grossing of the X-Men films (the link contains spoilers. If you have not seen the movie, ignore it). And my response is: So what. What people seem to be missing is that 20th Century Fox is mismanaging […]
Last week, I saw Godzilla. It was OK, but a bit dour, though what I really wanted to see was X-Men: Days Of Future Past. I didn’t though. The reason, I told myself, was because Bryan Singer and some other Hollywood power-players were accused of molesting Michael Egan III numerous times when he was younger. And honestly, […]
A large part of my enjoyment of Joel Schumacher‘s The Lost Boys came from the music it featured. Schumacher always had an eye, or should I say an ear, for matching popular music to his productions, and The Lost Boys was no different. The soundtrack contained some great songs by artists like Gerald McMann, Echo And […]
It’s all over the Interwebs that Edgar Wright (Shawn Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End) has left Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man over “creative differences.” While I think that this wasn’t a great move on Wright’s part–Marvel Studios movies tend to be huge, virtually guaranteeing that their whomever directs one of them access to bigger and better things, […]
Recently I noticed that a web site, Tinseltown News, had taken at least two of my blog posts, Are Universal And Legendary Making A Movie Based On Marvel’s Namor The Submariner and Blood Glacier Trailer. Now, I don’t mind that someone links to my posts, after all, that’s one reason that I write them. But […]
Part 1: Send In The B-Team Looking at Marvel today, it would be easy to assume that they have always been as successful as they are. Though you’d be wrong because, before they were purchased by Disney, even before they launched their movie production arm, Marvel Studios, they were flirting with bankruptcy. To stop the […]
Zach Snyder released this black & white image of Batman (Ben Affleck) today on Twitter. It’s from the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman. And it looks OK, and while I wish that Snyder had taken the photo less to depict a mood than to actually show us Batman and the Batmobile. That being said, I am […]
