‘World’s End’ Trailer

Now this is what I call high concept!  Five guys, after not seeing each other for a long while, come back together to complete a – for whatever reason – notorious pub crawl in a town that has been taken over by…wait for it…robots (I assume that we’re talking about an alien invasion scenario, with […]

‘Ant-Man’ Test Footage (Sorta)

A while ago I posted that Marvel is considering putting its test footage for Edgar Wright’s “Ant-Man” on the Interwebs?  Well they haven’t done it yet, but there was an artist in attendance at Comic-Con, and they have drawn up and posted on Youtube a reenactment of the footage. Thanks to Collider for the info.

‘Ant-Man’ Test Footage To Be Released?

When I heard that Edgar Wright revealed a test footage for his upcoming Marvel Studios film, “Ant-Man”, I was jazzed.  And the Internet, being what it is, made me reasonably sure that someone in attendance at the last Comic-Con would have filmed it despite being told not to (under penalty of being banned from future […]

This is great news, because Wright is an excellent director, though it makes me wonder what’s happening […]

Brian’s ‘The Adventures of Tintin’ Review

“Tintin,” while perhaps not for everyone, is so well-done that the occasional misstep is easily forgotten.  I must admit that I went into “The Adventures of Tintin” with somewhat low expectatations, due less to the input of Steven Spielberg, (director) Peter Jackson (producer)  and Steven Moffat (Dr. Who, Sherlock), Edgar Wright (Shawn of the Dead, […]

‘Attack The Block’ Trailer

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming kids vs. aliens thriller (think E.T. with a very bad attitude.  And teeth) “Attack The Block” from Joe Cornish, a frequent collaborator with Edgar Wright (both of whom worked on the screenplay for the upcoming “The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn” for Dreamworks, and “Ant-Man”, for […]
