‘Man of Steel’ 13 Minute Featurette

‘Man of Steel’ 13 Minute Featurette

Who’s excited for the upcoming Man of Steel? Many are already saying it’s going to be the biggest and best film of the summer. They might be right. As I have mentioned before, I have been slowly working my way up toward feeling good about this film. At this point I am ready to see it for sure!

This behind the scenes featurette is fantastic, really giving us a nice glimpse into the mindset of the director and the actors, really letting us in behind the scenes to see what’s going on.

If you are looking to get more excited and ramped up for Man of Steel I’ve got your fix right here. And yes, there is even more clips from the film that we have not yet seen.

Also look for my next article within the next few minutes because I’ll have a 13 minute featurette coming right on the coat tails of this post.

Enjoy.

Mendes to Direct ‘Bond 24’ And Possibly ‘Bond 25’

Mendes to Direct ‘Bond 24’ And Possibly ‘Bond 25’
Dave Trumbore - Collider.com

It looks like director Sam Mendes (Skyfall) is double dipping in the James Bond negotiations as it’s being reported that he’s locked Bond 24 and appears very likely to direct Bond 25.  Mendes was recently reported as being both opting out of the next installment, then in talks to direct it and now unofficially confirmed by ShowBiz411.

Of the Bond films I have seen, Skyfall is the best so this is good news to me. It’s kind of odd, all the back and forth though. “He’s directing, no he’s done directing Bond, oh never mind he’s going to do not just one, but the next TWO installments.”…

Help Save Podcasting

Help Save Podcasting
Daniel Nazer

A couple of months ago we wrote that podcasting was under threat from a patent troll. At that time, a patent troll named Personal Audio LLC had sued three podcasters and sent demand letters to a number of others. Since then, Personal Audio has filed two new lawsuits—this time against CBS and NBC. It has also sent additional demand letters to small podcasting operations. We’ve written often in the past about how patent trolls are a drain on innovation, and this latest troll is no exception. Since many podcasters barely make a profit, or simply do it for love, a shakedown from a patent troll…

New ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ Cover

New ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ Cover
Andrew Sims - Hypable

At Book Expo America this morning, Scholastic unveiled the new Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets cover designed by Kazu Kibuishi.

...

This cover depicts Harry and Ron arriving at The Burrow via their flying Ford Anglia. There are slight orange and red hues, which are sort of a throw back to Mary GrandPre’s original United States cover.

I forgot to post this a few days ago. I know it’s a book, not TV or film artwork. But they made this books into movies, yes? Therefore I say it works for a topic for this site… Look, just go with it alright? I love the Harry Potter book… Read The Rest

Box Office Report for June 3 - Can You See Me Now? Nope

Box Office Report for June 3 - Can You See Me Now? Nope

Now You See Me appears to be failing to amaze and no one seems to want to come closer because a film in its second weekend outing has come out ahead of Now You See Me which is in its first weekend outing.

And yet again I am disappointed.

#1 - Fast & Furious 6

Budget: $160 Million
Totals: $34.5 Million Weekend Gross / $310.2 Million Current Foreign Total / $480.5 Million Worldwide Total
Week Number: 2

Alright guys, you were complaining about my complaining when I had not even seen the film. So I saw it last weekend. As you would expect, some things about the film were better…

Snyder Says Superman Needs Development Before ‘Justice League’

Snyder Says Superman Needs Development Before ‘Justice League’
Steve Weintraub - Collider

While rumors have the movie being released in 2015, as of now, no director is officially attached, and no one is sure if the movie would work without introducing the other characters in their own movies first (like Marvel did before The Avengers).  So when I sat down with Snyder a few hours ago at the Los Angeles Man of Steel junket, I asked his thoughts the Justice League movie and if that would get his attention before a Man of Steel sequel.

And Snyder said:

“I feel like you need to get Superman a little further down the road before you can do a Justice League movie.”

Here’s the…

‘Twilight’ parodists sue Lionsgate/Summit for $500 million

‘Twilight’ parodists sue Lionsgate/Summit for $500 million
Hillary Busis - Entertainment Weekly

Behind the Lines Productions, the company behind a Twilight parody called Twiharder, has filed a $500 million suit against the makers of the Twilight films. In a 219-page complaint obtained by EW, the parodists write that they were planning to release their film last fall — around the same time that The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 hit theaters.

But after Summit and Lionsgate sent out a cease-and-desist letter, the plaintiffs claim, potential distributors grew skittish about risking the larger studios’ ire — even though Behind the Lines says its parody falls under the terms of…

‘Pacific Rim’ Featurette: Robot Sets

‘Pacific Rim’ Featurette: Robot Sets

Man I’m telling you, this film looks like it has just enough plot to have an excuse to have big freakin’ giant robots battling aliens, smashing up cites, doing battle with boats as beating sticks (see the latest trailer) and in general crunching up big things as if they were small. That is to say I don’t detect a lot of movie here worth watching. I sure hope I’m wrong. I want to be wrong, but ever trailer, ever featurette, everything I see or can find out about this film is always talking about robots, the details of how or why they work or exsist, the sets, the technology, how it was done,…

The Faces Behind Disney Villains

The Faces Behind Disney Villains
Stacy Conradt - mental_floss magazine

Ever wonder if the actors who voice the villains are just as mean-looking as their on-screen counterparts? Wonder no more. For the most part, the answer is no—but there are definitely a few uncanny resemblances in the bunch.

This is fun and interesting, but what’s even more interesting: take a look at the year many of these were made. It amazes me that most of the good ones were back in the late 50s/early 60s. There are some good films later, but many of the good ones that we remember Disney for came from back then. I mean think about it. 101 Dalmatians, The Sword in the Stone, The…
