You know, I’m still looking forward to this, even if it does look like they are over dramatizing certain aspects. I mean it is a film after all, what else would you expect them to do?

The real question for me is do they get what Steve and Apple were all about? Do they get what the real drivers behind the digital revolution were? Walter Isaacson sure didn’t, I hope the writers and producers behind this do better.

Oh, I’ll also say this: As great as Ashton Kutcher works and looks as a younger Steve Jobs, he doesn’t look so great as older Steve Jobs. He’s very obviously wearing fake facial…

As we heard at the end of last week, rumors suggest that Warner Bros. is looking for an older Batman, a grizzled version of the character in their 40s and for the most part (something we suggested would be a good idea too), the names put forth by THR as early contenders mostly bear that out. Ryan Gosling and Matthew Goode are the two youngest at 32 and 35, respectively, but they are both folks the studio has been keen on previously. Gosling was previously attached to WB’s long brewing “Logan’s Run” reboot (his buddy Nicolas Winding Refn is still on board), and his directorial debut “How To…

Get out the chems, and get ready to run as Jason Bourne Aaron Cross is getting ready to kick some more ass. While the side-quel/spin-off “The Bourne Legacy” did solid if not exactly spectacular business (it’s the lowest grosser in the franchise, but also did about the same numbers as Matt Damon‘s first time at bat in the series), it was enough forUniversal to start considering a fifth film. In fact, not long after it hit theaters the studio confirmed a sequel was in the works, and earlier this year it was said they were “actively working” on it. And today comes more firm word.

The cast and producers of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., led by prolific EP Joss Whedon, on Sunday granted members of the Television Critics Assoc. Level 7 access to scoop and (very light) spoilers from the hotly-anticipated ABC drama, which bows Sept. 24 at 8/7c.

RESURRECTION | Acknowledging theAvengers’ death of Clark Gregg‘s now-very-much-alive Agent Coulson, exec producer Jeph Loeb admitted, “There was never going to be a show called Marvel’sAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. without Clark.” The actor, for his part, shared that he didn’t want his character’s resurrection to be “anything that…

The gun slinging DEA agent and navy man may be up at the top this weekend, but I wouldn’t exactly call it a win by any stretch of the imagination. They’re still far below budget.

BUT, The Wolverine did come out swinging, fairing better than the little blue elves (or whatever those Smurfs are).

I didn’t hate this film. In fact it was a satisfying plot in some ways. Some semblance of justice is served, the two guys, one white, one black, one military special ops, one DEA, both with very different…

In this episode of Moveiology, Joe Darnell joins Michael and Eric to discuss TV shows, rip-offs, episodic filmmaking, in-depth storylines, character development… and primarily in review, Michael and Eric discuss AMC’s “Breaking Bad.” Since Joe hasn’t watched the show, he fields questions that people interested in getting started with the series might like the answers to. And as always, Eric and Michael wax eloquent in their thoughtful film analysis, and good-natured sarcasm.

I haven’t been this excited for a TV show in a very long time. And just furthering my appetite are these three new trailers that ABC has just released for the upcoming super-hero TV show.

I have to say though that I just realized that there may be a slight similarity to Heroes, but I’m trying to think how much. The heroes of Heroes were reluctant and scared, and the world was finding out about them. And there was an organization to ostensibly work with them, and help them. But the more I think of it the more I think the similarities are only surface deep. I did enjoy that show a lot, but I’m…

As I mentioned on The MovieByte Podcast Ep. 54, I have been working on a post for one of my personal sites, ChadTalksMovies.com, for two weeks now, all centered around the character and world of John Carter. Here’s a short excerpt:

Superman. Flash Gordon. Star Wars. Avatar. These characters/films share a common ancestry through Edgar Rice Burrough’s classic novel A Princess of Mars. The creators of these and so many others at some point in their lives picked up this story and were absorbed into the world of Barsoom, introduced to a man named John Carter, a man transported to a world apart…

The planned two sequels to James Cameron’s highly successful 2009 film Avatar have now become three sequels, announces Deadline Hollywood. The three sequels will be shot at the same time, with Avatar 2 set for release in December 2016.

Commented Cameron: “Building upon the world we created with Avatar has been a rare and incredibly rewarding experience. In writing the new films, I’ve come to realize that Avatar’s world, story and characters have become even richer than I anticipated, and it became apparent that two films would not be enough to capture everything I wanted to put on screen.…
