‘Closed Circuit’ Trailer and Clips

‘Closed Circuit’ Trailer and Clips

I thought for sure I had posted this trailer on the site already, but I can’t locate it. To rectify that, I have it embedded below. This actually looks like the sort of film I could get into if it’s done right. And certainly I think at this particular period of time in our world, the theme of every single thing being recorded, and privacy violations can resonate deeply, even if it’s not the main point or theme of the film. As an underlying story, as part of the whole, I think it will play into people’s feelings and paranoia.

And in any event it looks like there might be a good story to tell…

‘Iron Man 3’ Deleted Scene and Gag Reel

‘Iron Man 3’ Deleted Scene and Gag Reel

Marvel, start your marketing engines! These two items are the first in what is sure to be a long line of teasers, gag reels, clips, deleted scenes and more from the upcoming Iron Man 3 home video release.

If you’re into all this cool stuff, you’ll probably want to snag your home video copy on September 24.

[SPOILER]

The first is a deleted scene featuring The Mandarin. It’s no wonder it was deleted, though not overt, I think it would have been enough to clue me in that something wasn’t quite right in terms of him as a villian, which would have spoiled the surprise a bit.

And then this…

DON’T MISS! All 8 ‘Harry Potter’ Films in HD for $10.00!!!

UPDATED:

The price has jumped up to $60. I wondered… it surely seemed almost like a mistake. I guess it really was. I clicked purchase on mine 20 minutes before the price went up to $60. I’m going to be really upset if Apple actually charges me $60 and not $10. We’ll find out soon enough.

DON’T MISS! All 8 ‘Harry Potter’ Films in HD for $10.00!!!
Apple iTunes

Guys, this seems just a little bit crazy, but right now you can purchase all eight Harry Potter films in HD from the iTunes store for $10.00. No, I’m not kidding, this does not appear to be a joke. Since I only had them in Standard Definition on DVD, I purchased this bundle for $10.00 and it is legit. All eight films are now available in my iTunes account.

This is just too good to be true. I almost wonder if it’s some sort of glitch. In case it is, if you want it you better act now! I know I’ll be enjoying some Harry Potter HD goodness from the comfort of my Apple TV sometime soon!

Critics Are Mean to ‘The Lone Ranger’

Critics Are Mean to ‘The Lone Ranger’
Jesse David Fox - Vulture

Ever since the film’s embarrassing, sub-$30 million opening, the people behindThe Lone Ranger have been complaining about critics. And now, as the film opens internationally, they seem to be doubling their efforts. That’s where this interview clip with Yahoo U.K. comes in. For three minutes, it features Armie Hammer, Johnny Depp, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and director Gore Verbinski just complaining about the American press. 

Deppp posits that “the reviews were written seven to eight months before” the film’s release. Bruckheimer adds, “they were reviewing the budget, not reviewing the…

‘Episode VII’ — Story and Character More Important Than Effects

‘Episode VII’ — Story and Character More Important Than Effects
Daniel Krupa - IGN

Executive producer Kathleen Kennedy has given an update on the production of Episode VII at Star Wars Celebration Europe.

Kennedy revealed she is currently dividing her time between Lucasfilm – where she’s sat in George’s old office, by the way – and Bad Robot, where she’s busy having extensive story meetings with J.J. Abrams and the rest of the writing team, including Empire Strikes Back scribe Lawrence Kasdan. And that emphasis on story and character came up repeatedly during today’s panel, hosted by Warwick Davis.

“The story and characters are all we’re talking about right now,” said…

Speaking of ‘Pacific Rim’ - Fact or Fictional on the Robots

Speaking of ‘Pacific Rim’ - Fact or Fictional on the Robots

Wondering whether Guillermo del Toro’s robots are a possiblity? Fact or just fictional as it were? Well wonder no more because Veronica Belmont is here to answer the question for you. She’ll let us know if we’ll be able to pull something like this off in case of alien invasion or whether we’ll be completely left hung out to dry… grim prospects indeed.

Kevin Feige Talks Thanos and Ultron

Kevin Feige Talks Thanos and Ultron

Here’s a scoop from the Marvel big boss, although, beware apparent minor(ish) spoilers for Thor: The Dark World. There’s definitely a bit about Loki that I wish I had not heard, but overall I doubt if it’s a very big deal.

So apparently Thanos will be appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy as the mastermind. And as I’ve already mentioned briefly, Ultron will indeed first be seen in Avengers 2. I’m glad that Marvel seems to do a good job of knowing what things to keep in the cinematic universe, and what things are okay to tell differently than the comics.
