I’ll believe it when I see it. Take this with a huge grain of salt, for two reasons. First, the last I heard Joseph Kosinski was aiming to shoot Gran Turismo (a racing video game), which means that that if the sequel to Tron: Legacy is indeed shooting this fall, the likelihood that he would be […]
Jack Smight‘s 1977 feature, Damnation Alley is a movie I recall l fondly from when I was growing up. It’s (very) loosely based upon a novel by Roger Zelazny, and while it’s an entertaining movie, it’s not a particularly good one. I while I don’t know how the movie was filmed, it feels epic and looks massive (which had a lot to do […]
The head of DreamWorks Animation, Jeffrey Katzenberg, reported that as a result of the weak performance of 2012’s “Rise Of The Guardians” the studio had to write off $87 million. Sure, it’s not a “John Carter” sized loss, but it’s still substantial. Now here’s the weird part: ‘Rise’ earned over $300 million worldwide (on a $145 million […]
Gossip Cop has a trailer for Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming “Oblivion,” and I am not sure how I feel about it from a design standpoint, which is interesting, because Kosinski’s has a pretty strong esthetic sense, if “Tron: Legacy” was any indication. Thanks to Gossip Cop for the foreign language trailer that I linked to above, […]
Many movies, to compete in a very competitive market, market their films in ways that go beyond the traditional. For instance, for 2010’s “Tron: Legacy” the makers of the film had a campaign that led the inquisitive to FlynnLives.com and as a reward let them see a light cycle before the general public. I don’t want […]
Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” is being post-converted to 3D, which is interesting when you consider how terrible such conversions tend to be. Remember “Wrath Of The Titans?” If there’s another film that was converted to 3D to such seemingly universal disdain, I am unaware of it. That being said tickets for 3D films tend […]
If someone were to tell you that there is going to be a sequel to “The Avengers,” you’d probably say: “No kidding.” If you’re like me, you’d say something like: “Let’s see…it’s been out almost a full week in this country, and has earned over $226 million, while overseas its raked in around $450 million. […]
I visit my parent’s regularly during the holidays, and this one is no exception. I was channel surfing, when I came upon Tron: Legacy on Starz: Edge. Seeing that I have seen the film at least seven or eight times in various forms of media, I figured that I would just watch the special effects […]
Here’s the latest trailer for Disney’s “John Carter.” I have also included a link to some commentary from Vulture, where they ask the same question that I asked early today, which essentially is: How is Disney going to make this film profitable when they aren’t all that sure how to market it in the first […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, David DiGillio is writing the sequel to Tron: Legacy. The original writers, Edward Kitsis (mistakenly called Adam Kitsis in the article) and Adam Horowitz, are busy with a project for the ABC television network and are currently unavailable. As I mentioned in a prior post, despite its marketing costs, Tron: […]
