A new poster for The Hobbit is making the rounds, and I don’t know about you, but it tends to remind me of posters from the previous trilogy. This is not a bad thing though, making the tie and connection to The Lord of the Rings trilogy given my initial feelings about The Hobbit were not good, but I love The Lord of the Rings.

I do have to say I’m getting excited for this film in spite of myself. I really hope I’m not disappointed.

Here’s the new poster:

And for comparison, here’s a couple from the Lord of the Rings trilogy:

Excited for Looper? You should be. Rian Johnson‘s return to the big screen featuring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels, Paul Dano and a whole bunch of time-travelling awesomeness is fantastic. Lots of new posters, videos and more have been popping up leading up towards the September 28 release and now two videos of behind the scenes footage have come online.

Getting geared up! Beware there are probably some spoilers here if you are looking for them. I just loved watching the behind the scenes footage and didn’t really see anything that was plot revealing to…

If you’ve been successfully avoiding spy photos from the southeast Asian set of James Mangold‘s The Wolverine, you’ve about to be rewarded with claws and veins. 20th Century Fox has released the first official image from the X-Men side story starring Hugh Jackman as the adamantium laced badass. It’s scheduled for release July 26, 2013, check out the image below.

I’m a big fan of the first two X-Men films. The third was pretty bad, obviously not anywhere near the level of the first two. And for a while I was not interested in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, or X-Men: First Class. Having…

Now Jenny Slate, a former SNL cast member, is writing a new features for Warner Bros. that will likely become another hybrid CG/live-action film featuring the likes of Bugs, Daffy, and more.

Well that’s interesting. This is slightly more concerning.

THR says that the producers are David Katzenberg and Seth Grahame-Smith, with the latter being the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies author, and the screenwriter of Dark Shadows and the author/screenwriter of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. And, frankly, after those last two films, I can’t say that his name attached to this project…

“I thought it was an amazing opportunity to do something genuinely groundbreaking,” said director Tom Hooper. If this featurette is any indication, I believe the filmmaker hit the mark. It must have been incredibly daunting, but it would appear to excel greatly as the cast lived up to the demands of the production.

Les Misérables as Hooper would have it is heavenly based after the musical adaptation that’s been on tour for decades. It is the longest-standing broadway musical to date, and anyone that appreciates musicals that has seen it can tell you why. The story line is rich, the…

He’s also back to work prepping for Avengers 2, despite admitting multiple times that the pace of the first Avengers movie almost killed him.

Why jump back into the fire understanding one can only cheat death so many times? Well, it goes back to storytelling.

“There’s a business aspect to it and I would be disingenuous not to say that, but the question for me is, Do I have another story to tell about these people? So we worked on the business side of it and I didn’t think it was going to happen—I was like ‘I’m never going to do this again.’ But once they worked on the business aspect…

With Wreck-It Ralph, not only is Disney making a movie about video games, they’re paying homage to video games. In addition to the story of Ralph (John C. Reilly), Vanellope (Sarah Silverman) and fictional games like Fix-It Felix Jr., Sugar Rushand Hero’s Duty, real life games all exist in this world. There’s Pac-Man, Q-Bert, Sonic the Hedgehog, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II, all of the classic games we grew up with in the Eighties and Nineties.

A new set of posters for the film has been revealed that focuses on those tangental characters and fans of video games are surely going to…

Universal has seemingly decided that the new film adaptation of Les Miserables, starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, and Anne Hathaway and directed by Tom Hooper (The Kings Speech), makes a good Christmas present. (A present for Universal, at least.) The film has been pushed back to a December 25 opening.

Joseph recently took a look at the ‘Les Mis’ trailer, be sure to check that out as well.

I want to see this film, but I doubt I’ll see it on Christmas Day, that’s family time.
