More ‘Monsters University’ Viral Marketing

I’m not really into sports, but apparently it’s a thing, especially college sports. And from the looks of it, the Monsters U team was a little disappointed with their placement. A “local monster college student” seems to have captured the reaction and it made it to “Pixar News”.

Monsters University will feature the voice talents of John Goodman, Billy Crystal, Steve Buscemi, Ben Kingsley, Helen Mirren, David Spade, Alfred Molina and Ricky Gervais. The film opens on June 21st.

Star Wars Expose - Luke’s Change: An Inside Job

Star Wars Expose - Luke’s Change: An Inside Job

A documentary expose on why the destruction of the Death Star may have been an inside job. This is completely and absolutely hilarious and so well made. You guys into conspiracy theories may hate this, because it’s kind of making fun of you. But you should get over yourselves and enjoy this because it’s REALLY good. And in my opinion, this is about exactly how these conspiracy theories and exposes work.

A lot of people in the comments on the YouTube video page are going crazy about messing up facts (such as saying Wedge Antilles said, or pronouncing Alderaan, Alderbran), but I think it…

Pepper Potts in a Suit?

Pepper Potts in a Suit?
Frank Digiacomo - MovieLine

If you’ve  read about the Iron Man 3 footage that Marvel Studios has shown to bloggers, then you know that, during the Mandarin’s helicopter attack on Casa Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) ends up flying to safety in one of the armored suits. It sounds like a cool scene, and I won’t be surprised if it’s a set-up for another later in the movie. But I’m not so thrilled about Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige’s recent comments that Potts could suit up for her own adventures in future Iron Man installments.

Why? I think it’s a great idea. I would love to see…

Batman in Classic Movie Scenes

There is just something really awesome and really messed up about this all at the same time. If you ever wanted to see Batman in all sorts of classic movie scenes, here is your opportunity.

Veronica Mars Meets Funding Goal on Kickstarter

Veronica Mars Meets Funding Goal on Kickstarter
Sydney Bucksbaum - Hollywood.com

Veronica Mars fans the blogosphere when, just a mere 10 hours after the Kickstarter fund to make a Veronica Mars movie began Wednesday morning, they met the initial fundraising goal of $2 million. Congratulations, you did it: the movie is officially on!

“My mind is blown. I’ve been fantasizing about this taking big and had to tell myself, ‘Stop it, Rob, you’re being silly. You’re setting yourself up for disappointment,’” Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas told EW. “And now today has exceeded the wildest pipe dream I let myself entertain. Holy cow. We better make a good movie. These amazing…

Enterprise E Model

The U.S.S. Enterprise-E from Star Trek: Nemesis is flying high again thanks to Diamond Select Toys, which has just introduced a new version of the E with a fresh paint scheme that—more accurately than the original model—reflects the appearance of the ship as seen in the final TNG big-screen adventure. The new E also boasts additional lighting effects, most notably on the ship’s nacelles, which now light up (for the first time ever). Meanwhile, fans will still hear the same authentic sound effects and dialogue featuring Captain Picard.

I. WANT. THIS! The Enterprise E has always been my…

Hoverboard - Short Film

Hoverboard - Short Film

Remember how awesome hoverboards were in Back to the Future: Part II the first time you saw them? I mean, the idea is even still kind of awesome, even if skateboards have long gone out of style.

That draw is what makes this short so fun. If you love Hoverboards, you will love this.

Don’t think about the logic in this short film too much (girl wants hoverboard, can’t make one using common household items, instead builds cardboard time machine, sends teddy bear forward in time to get hoverboard), it’s not about that. Just relax, and enjoy the show.

Weta VFX Reel

Weta VFX Reel

So Weta Workshop has a VFX Reel, and it’s as awesome as you might imagine. Frankly, I’m not sure at this point why Weta needs a reel, everone knows who they are and that they do magnificient VFX work, but I suppose even the best feel the need to showcase their work for the world. And I love that they show some of the modeling and sculpting work that goes into all of it too. It’s not just the CGI, there a lot of other work that goes into their stuff too.

See for yourself.

‘Thor 2’ Trailer Attached to ‘Iron Man 3’

‘Thor 2’ Trailer Attached to ‘Iron Man 3’

However, what is really interesting about this Spanish promotional poster is the tagline at the bottom. The text at the bottom translates to say, “Also enjoy an exclusive preview of Thor The Dark World.” Since Iron Man 3 opens in some countries as early as April 26, 2013, it means fans will definitely see a Thor The Dark World trailer in April.

In the United States, Iron Man 3 doesn’t opens until May 3, 2013, so it might be May before U.S. fans get to see the Thor The Dark World trailer. However, it’s also possible that Disney might decide to release it early online like they did with…

‘Star Trek “3”’ Could Be Out for 50th Anniversary (2016)

‘Star Trek “3”’ Could Be Out for 50th Anniversary (2016)
Germain Lussier - /Film

J.J. Abrams‘ first Star Trek movie was released in 2009 and it’s taken four years to get its sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness, into theaters. With the director now moving on to Star Wars Episode VII, many have questioned will happen with the Trek franchise. Producer Bryan Burk has provided a possible answer.

...

Bryan Burk: We’re definitely talking about the next one, but we haven’t talked about a release date. We don’t want to wait four years, the same amount of time between the last one and this one, but it’s going to be a big year to celebrate, hopefully.

Hey, I have an idea,…
