Edited 8/10 934 I am not surprised that “Captain America: The First Avenger” is doing well in the United States. It’s a well-done, entertaining film, though it does revolve around a superhero that, in a very real sense, embodies many uniquely American dreams and aspirations, so if it weren’t doing well here, I’d be shocked. […]
Here’s the latest poster for Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s “The Adventures of Tintin” (It appears that they dropped the “The Secret of the Unicorn”). Tinin, an intrepid reporter that goes on various adventures accompanied by his dog, Snowy, and assisted by an eccentric assortment of characters, was created by Hergè. The character has seeming […]
All you hear about lately are films being remade. What gets to me, besides the seeming cynicalness of the whole pursuit, is the way it seems that the better a film is, the more likely it is to be remade; which doesn’t make any sense. Why remake something that was well-done the first time around? […]
I have been looking for a source for new footage on Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Night Rises,” and I have decided to look where no one else would even suspect: Team Coco! As usual, they were right on the money. Here’s the footage that I found, and you have not ever seen elsewhere (except for […]
Edited 8/5 1109 1116 2047 Various blogs have already posted images of Anne Hathaway as “Serena Kyle” from Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises,” so of course I am going to as well, though with a caveat: I am not particularly crazy about what Chris Nolan is doing with the franchise. Sure it’s profitable, […]
After Kenneth Branagh decided not to direct ‘Thor 2,’ though he is returning to the franchise in the role of producer, the call went out for a replacement. According to Firstshowing.net, Brian Kirk is to assume the director’s chair. He’s directed episodes of “The Tudors.” A Game of Thrones,” and “Dexter,” among others.
Here’s a link to some footage of the Batmoblie from “Batman Rises.” I would have embedded the footage, but WordPress isn’t playing nice.
Thanks to Deadline for the link. He looks okay, but I am not too sure about the costume. It just may be the light, but it looks really, really rubbery.
Anyone familiar with Marvel’s Master of the Mystic Arts, Dr. Strange, knows of the Crimson Bands of Cytorrak, or the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth. According to Twitchfilm.com, a script has been created for Dr. Strange written by Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, and Marvel is currently searching for a director. If this were all were […]
Edited 8/3 2214 The trailer indicates that the film takes place in Russia, yet despite this, no one actually speaks Russian (in the trailer, at any rate). Makes me wonder why they would bother going there, since they could have filmed it in Hoboken (though admittedly the architecture would have been less awesome) or some […]
