Superbowl Trailers

Superbowl Trailers

It’s pretty safe to say that I hate sports. Well okay, some sports are tolerable when I’m the one doing the playing. But I cannot stand watching sports on TV, and I can barely stand watching most sports in person on the sidelines. I know that this puts in me in the bottom 10th of a group of less than 1% of the citizens of the United States of America, but I can’t help it. I just don’t like sports and never have.

But one good thing did come from the Super Bowl…

THE GODADDY COMMERCIAL!!!

Um, no. No that was just disgusting, wrong, and stupid! No, we got a whole bunch of trailers! And…

James Horner To Score ‘Enders Game’
/Film

Oscar-winning composer James Horner has been hired by director Gavin Hood to write the music for Ender’s Game. The film, scheduled for release November 1, stars Asa Butterfield as a kid-genius recruited to space so he can train as a military leader. Harrison Ford co-stars along with Hailee Steinfeld, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, Aramis Knight, Moises Arias and others.

What was the last good film Horner Scored? The Legend of Zorro in 2005? (Yes, there’s Avatar — but I said good film). So yeah, I’m definitely in it to hear a good score from Horner!

Also, the film looks interesting:

‘Die Hard Clip’ Ballroom Gunfight

‘Die Hard Clip’ Ballroom Gunfight

Tough situation? check. Evil bad guy? check. Lots of guns and crazy stuff? check. Uh, yep, looks like Die Hard.

And it looks like the apple doens’t fall too far from the tree where McClane’s son is concerned. Check it out.

‘Olympus Has Fallen’ Trailer

‘Olympus Has Fallen’ Trailer

This actually looks pretty good.

When the White House (Secret Service Code: “Olympus”) is captured by a terrorist mastermind and the President is kidnapped, disgraced former Presidential guard Mike Banning finds himself trapped within the building. As our national security team scrambles to respond, they are forced to rely on Banning’s inside knowledge to help retake the White House, save the President, and avert an even bigger disaster.

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Featurette

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Featurette

There’s not really anything new here, but this is Star Trek and I’m a Star Trek nerd (card carrying member) so I have to post it.

J.J. and a couple of the cast members talking about upping the ante and the like. J.J. thinks its the biggest things he’s done.

Amy Adams as Lois Lane - Official Image

Amy Adams as Lois Lane - Official Image
The Playlist

Well, this is a bit random, and leaves some questions to be answered but given the general lockdown surrounding anything involving Christopher Nolan, we’ll take what we can get at this point.

The first offiical image of Amy Adams as Lois Lane in “Man Of Steel” has arrived. No, we don’t know why the image, courtesy of Desde Hollywood is in black-and-white, but it does seem as if the Daily Planet has been outfitted with iPads. Will some of Zack Snyder’s film dip into black-and-white sections or if this just a bizarre decision on behalf of the international marketing team behind the…

‘The Heat’ Moves to Summer

‘The Heat’ Moves to Summer
/Film

Fox has already put out a couple of very funny trailers for Paul Feig‘s The Heat, but you’ll want to hold your laughter for now. The picture has just been pushed back from April 5 to June 28, where it’ll face off against Universal’s Kick-Ass 2 and Columbia’s White House Down. That slot has traditionally been a good one for comedies; high grossers likeTedBad Teacher, and Grown Ups have all opened on that same weekend in recent years. The studio has already made it clear that it likes what Feig has delivered, so this date comes across as a vote of confidence.

Raise your hand if you…

The Flare of Abrams

The Flare of Abrams

Heh.

Now this looks more like the visual style we an expect from a J.J. Abrams version of Star Wars. I really hope and pray not, but he seems to steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that he was completely overused a cool effect and let it take over his films.

In any event, this is pretty funny.

Maria Hill a Possibility for S.H.I.E.L.D.

In a recent interview with I Am Rogue, the actress discussed the sequel and, more interestingly, the definite possibility for her to appear in Marvel’s TV adaptation of S.H.I.E.L.D.

...

On whether Maria Hill could appear in Joss Whedon-directed S.H.I.E.L.D. small-screen adaptation, Cobie Smulders states,

“The commitments to How I Met Your Mother don’t affect it. And I can’t really say, but there are definite talks about it.”

And:

“Oh yeah! I’m very excited. I will do Maria Hill until they fire me and hire someone else to do it.”

She was one of the more enjoyable…
