How ‘Looper’ Should Have Ended

How ‘Looper’ Should Have Ended

The guys over at How It Should Have Ended have done it again. They think perhaps Looper should have ended differently than it did.

Also, there might be some other time-traveling guests in this epsiode.

Have fun!

Soooooooooo Cooool

Soooooooooo Cooool

Join TJ and Joseph for a conversation on the upcoming ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ and ‘Man of Steel’ trailers coming out with ‘The Hobbit’ - TJ is more excited about the ‘Star Trek’ trailer and Joseph is more excited about the ‘Man of Steel’ trailer - which leads to a discussion of ‘Production Video #9’ of the insane production schedule and things going on behind the scenes with ‘The Hobbit, then they turn their attention to Blockbuster getting in the magazine business, Miley Cyrus’ stupid looking ‘So Undercover’ trailer, Matthew Vaughn sort of confirmed for ‘Star Wars VII’, giveaway opportunities, and then the two main film topics, ‘Red Dawn’ and ‘Life of Pi’. TJ doesn’t like ‘Red Dawn’ very much and Joseph has mixed feelings about ‘Life of Pi’. Be sure to leave a review, along with a 4 or 5 star rating of the podcast on iTunes for a chance to win a Blu-ray copy of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. At least ten entries are needed for the contest so be sure to tell your friends and ask folks to review.

‘Flight of the Navigator’ To Get Remake

‘Flight of the Navigator’ To Get Remake
FilmoFilia.com

Remember the name Colin Trevorrow? We reported a while ago about him being the possible Star Wars: Episode VII helmer and now, after weeks and weeks of rumors, news is now out that he is not taking on Star Wars, but is instead taking on another beloved-nostalgic cinema classic – Flight of the Navigator.

According to Variety, director Colin Trevorrow and screenwriter Derek Connolly, who worked together on this year’s indie Safety Not Guaranteed, have been hired by Disney to (at least) co-rewrite the script for one of my personal childhood favorites.

Well that was one film I didn’t need…

‘Ninja Turtles’ are Like ‘The Avengers’ (yeah, right)

‘Ninja Turtles’ are Like ‘The Avengers’ (yeah, right)

We won’t actually see the Michael Bay-produced Ninja Turtles until 2014 or so, but in the meantime Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman is keeping the hype machine rolling by naming all sorts of other movies that Ninja Turtles will be like. Among the titles he’s previously name-checked are The Raid: RedemptionFist of Legend, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Now he’s also likening Ninja Turtles to The Avengers, in terms of “scope and roots origin.” Lord knows there’s a world of difference between emulating The Avengers and actually being as good as The Avengers, but…

Details of the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic have been revealed by its writer, Aaron Sorkin. Sorkin, who has previously penned the likes of The West Wing and The Social Network, has said that the film itself will centre around three scenes, set in real-time of 30 minutes each.

According to Newsweek CEO Baba Shetty, the three product launches featured in the film would be of the original Macintosh, NeXT and the iPod.

Who knows if this will be any good, but I’ll probably watch it.
