Awesome stuff here. I can’t wait for this one. And I love that they are doing more things as practical effects than some might do. When possible to do, practical effects, physical set pieces etc. are still better.
The film makes it’s debut on April 19 and stars Tom Cruise, Olga Kurylenko, Morgan Freeman, Andrea Riseborogh, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and Melissa Leo, and is directed by Tron Legacy director Joseph Kosinski.
As humanity picks up the pieces, following the conclusion of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Autobots and Decepticons have all but vanished from the face of the planet. However, a group of powerful, ingenious businessman and scientists attempt to learn from past Transformer incursions and push the boundaries of technology beyond what they can control – all while an ancient, powerful Transformer menace sets Earth in his crosshairs. The epic adventure and battle between good and evil, freedom and enslavement ensues.
I cannot possibly convey just how much I DON’T care about Michael…

This trailer will apparently be shown with international screenings of G.I. Joe: Retaliation but we’ve also got it right here for you. This is the U.K. version of the trailer. I watched a couple of the other version of the trailer and they all appear to be identical except for the end date so far as I can tell.
This trailer is really opening up and showing us a lot more than previously, and yet I still feel like we’ve barely scratched the surface. I have high hopes for this film. Sure it will have JJ Abrams typical whiz bang, and annoying propensity for lens flares, but I do expect it to…

Ummm, wow. Okay, this is not quite the movie I thought it was going to be. Something tells me this is going to be a little ridiculous actually. I’m still trying to put my finger on it, what makes a Pixar film with a ridiculous concept more appealing than this crazy thing? I don’t know but the whole “nuclear snail” thing or whatever it is that is going on here is not quite appealing to my inner movie geek… at all. I hope I’m wrong.
It doesn’t help that pretty much the only decent thing Dreamworks animation has ever turned out is Shrek and Shrek 2 (followed distantly by Shrek Forever…

Read The RestAnother day, another semi-confirmation of a Star Wars return for an actor
from the original trilogy. Despite Joss Whedon’s thoughts on the matter, it seems inevitable now that Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford will be reprising their roles from the original Star Wars trilogy in the J.J. Abrams-helmed Episode VII. Hamill previously said the trio was in talks, Fisher has outright confirmed that she’ll be back, and George Lucas said it’s pretty much a done deal. Now you can add the final piece of the puzzle to the pile, as Harrison Ford has essentially confirmed that they’ll…
2 Kids and a Coupon (via Cinema Blend) attended a recent press event with Feige, where he revealed Whedon’s reaction.
….We have what I think is the biggest, you know, most action packed finale we’ve had. I showed the film to Joss Whedon who is our writer-director of Avengers, is currently working on Avengers 2, and he saw the finale of this and he goes, now what am I supposed to do now? What am I going to do in Avengers 2?
If Whedon is impressed, I have no doubt that it will be good! Is it May 3rd yet?
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.
This is why we can’t have nice things. So, “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters”—a total piece of crap, dumped into January, receiving scathing reviews and then disappearing forever, right? Hardly. This past weekend, the movie quietly passed $200 million worldwide. Wha? That’s right, international audiences have been gobbling this movie up, with it earning nearly three times what it did in North America, which means one thing: sequel!
Again, another movie that I don’t quite understand all the angst about. There have been far better films, but there have also been far worse films. And as far…

Alright, Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 2! I’m ready. I’ve been gearing up by watching the Marvel film (I’ve watched Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2 [ugh] is next on my list), and May can’t get here soon enough. Here’s a little bit more to whet the appetite for you.
Iron Man 3 will obviously star Robert Downey Jr. and will also star Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin. Also returning are Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Jon Favreau as Hogan, and Don Cheadle as Rhodey.
I’m working on ‘Avatar 2′ and ‘Avatar 3.’ I was talking the other day with Peter Jackson and said, ‘You had it easy dude. You had the books when you did the second and third ‘Lord of the Rings.’ I have to create my own books in my head and extract a script from it. I’m deep into it and I’m living in Pandora right now. There is that start up torque where you feel it’s coming to you. Then you build up momentum. That’s when it gets fun. The characters talk and it’s writing itself. I’m almost there right now. It’s building fast.
It’s almost impossible for me to care less about anything…
