James Wan‘s “Insidious” earned almost $100 million worldwide, while Oren Peli‘s Paranormal Activity films combined earned almost $600 million dollars. Big deal, you might say–and it is–till you realize that “Insidious” cost only $1.5 million to make, while the Paranormal Activity films COMBINED cost just over $8 million. That’s a lot of return for minimal […]
Here’s the new Barry Sonnenfeld‘s “Men In Black 3” trailer, which I hope is better than MIIB (“Men In Black 2”). That being said, for some strange reason what I want to see most from this film is Josh Brolin channeling Tommy Lee Jones, who also stars in the film.
When I first saw the trailer for “The Lorax,” during “Ghost Rider: Sprit of Vengeance,” a few days later I mentioned to a co-worker that I would not see the film because whenever I heard the character speak, I saw Danny DeVito, who voiced the character. Dr. Seuss’s creation appears to have made the transition […]
If anyone saw “18 Miles Out,” the episode of “The Walking Dead” that aired last Sunday, you would have thought that Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) was already dead–and he would have been if not for an eleventh hour save by Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln)–but a new article on Vulture adds more fuel to the fire. […]
It seems that the Holy Grail for studios are to have superhero movies under development, though this is easier for some studios than others. Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, so they don’t have any problem. DC Comics is owned by Warner Bros., so they’re good. Though, there are many characters that don’t fall under […]
The trailer for Marvel Studios’ “The Avengers” is here, and it kicks all kind of arse. It looks remarkable, and just the thought of such iconic Marvel characters on screen at the same time is the stuff that fanboy dreams are made of. Which is why it’s somewhat ironic that the poster sucks so much […]
Nordling at Aint It Cool News says the latest trailer for “John Carter” is “…the best (official) one yet.” And I agree with him. It tells what the film is about, as well as the stakes, better than any of the trailers that came before. That being said, the problem is, when your film costs […]
Here’s the second, and probably final, post about what ‘John Carter’ needs to succeed, and is unfortunately it’s not something that Disney can do anything about at this point. If they want this film to be successful, they should have called it almost anything but “John Carter.” Now, keep in mind, this movie is based […]
Sony’s upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man’s” main baddie is The Lizard, who was never one of my favorite villains in the Spider-man canon (I have never really thought why, though it probably has something to do with him being little more than The Hulk, with scales). If the film makers weren’t going to go with Mysterio, […]
Those of you that read Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead,” know who ‘The Governor’ is (and I don’t mean Arnold Schwarzenegger), and with the Third season of the zombie series he will be played by David Morrissey. He’s the second British actor in the cast, the first being Andrew Lincoln, who plays Sheriff Rick Grimes.
