Germain Lussier — Film

In addition to dating Batman v Superman for March 2016, Warner Bros. has dated not one, but NINE additional DC Comics movies. They’re all untitled for the time being. Now Warner and DC’s plan stretches beyond Marvel’s. They also planted the flag on two untitled event films. Read more about the DC Comics movie release dates below.

...

As for the DC films, remember a few months back? Plans were reportedly leaked for DC films though 2018 including Shazam, Sandman, Justice League, Wonder Woman, Flash/Green Lantern, Man of Steel 2 and more. Then, we heard The Batman would be out in 2019.…

ComingSoon.net

Disney’s Alice In Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass begins principal photography this week, featuring an award-winning production team and all-star ensemble cast, including Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen. James Bobin (The Muppets, Muppets Most Wanted) helms the film, which revisits Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories with an all-new new tale that travels back to Underland - and back in Time.

Well, I suppose I should make the time to see Tim Burton’s 2011 Alice in Wonderland. The trouble for me was that I hated the classic animated…

‘Out of Print’ Trailer — Reflecting on 35mm Film In a Digital Age

‘Out of Print’ Trailer — Reflecting on 35mm Film In a Digital Age

If you’ve been following MovieByte and my work for any length of time, you’ll know that I’m a fan of actual film. I’m not crazy about it and I think digital can be just fine. But I also think that actual film is a great thing. This new documentary explores the revival theaters that use real 35mm projection and run older (not first run) films. It seems to be particularly focused on the New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles and features some familiar folks such as Kevin Smith, Rian Johnson, Seth Green, Edgar Wright, and more.

There are many ways in which I like the digital age we live in, but…

Snow White Prequel ‘The Huntsman’ Gets 2016 Release Date

Snow White Prequel ‘The Huntsman’ Gets 2016 Release Date
Jake Perlman — Entertainment Weekly

Universal Pictures announced the release date for The Huntsman, a prequel of sorts to 2012’s Snow White and the Huntsman with Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron reprising their roles of the Huntsman Eric and evil queen Ravenna. The film, directed by Frank Darabont, will be released on Friday, April 22, 2016 and reveal how the two characters interacted before Snow White ever met a dwarf.

I’m just having a really hard time getting into this idea. I don’t think it works without Snow White. I liked the first film, I don’t see why we have to ruin this.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Tracking for $65M-Plus Debut

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Tracking for $65M-Plus Debut
Pamela McClintock — The Hollywood Reporter

The Marvel and Disney tentpole will play in more than 4,080 theaters, the widest August release in history; “It’s much more of a space opera than a superhero movie,” says director James Gunn.

Gunning for one of the top August openings of all time in North America, Guardians of the Galaxy is expected to open to at least $65 million this weekend, a strong start for Marvel Studios’ new franchise.

Some believe director James Gunn‘s Guardians has a shot at approaching, or crossing, $70 million, although no one is placing any bets considering the steep downturn overall at the summer box office.…

Interview With ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Director James Gunn

Interview With ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Director James Gunn
Drew Tailer — The Playlist

How much say did you have in this movie versus how much was dictated from Marvel?
Every single line in the movie is mine. We talked early on about having Thanos in the movie, which, believe me I was excited to have Thanos in the movie because a) I love Thanos and b) I want people who have seen “The Avengers” to go see this because we’re connected to it. There was no fight from me having Thanos in the movie. But for me, I wrote a group of characters with the plot points I wanted to write and the stuff that’s connected to the rest of the Marvel universe was very exciting for me to be a part…

New ‘Interstellar’ Trailer

New ‘Interstellar’ Trailer

Well, today is trailer day for MovieByte apparently. All the stuff I keep coming across today that I feel like is interesting and worth posting are trailers. And here we have Paramount and Christopher Nolan opening up the kimono just a little bit. At Comic-Con San Diego this past weekend, Nolan made a surprise visit to Hall H at the well know convention. Despite having made the The Dark Knight trilogy — which might even be rightly accredited with supercharging the current super hero cinema — Nolan has never come to Comic-Con before. That has now changed. He showed up with the trailer you will…

Trailer For ‘Atari: Game Over’

Trailer For ‘Atari: Game Over’

You know, it’s funny, I used to make documentaries, but I’m not a big documentary watcher. That said, this looks like one I want to see. When I was growing up, my cousin had an Atari. I don’t remember much about it except that by today’s standards the graphics, the gameplay, everything about it would be considered pretty bad. But by standards back then, they were AMAZING. I remember nothing about this E.T. game and the demise of Atari, but I don know that Atari basically disappeared. I’d like to know more.

So this trailer looks pretty intriguing to me. It’s directed by Zak Penn who has…

First Trailer for ‘Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb’

First Trailer for ‘Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb’

I’m running a bit short on time today and not sure how many posts I’ll have today. But hey, here’s a new Night at the Museum trailer to make you all happy…

Seriously though, Night at the Musuem, and Night at the Museum 2 were a surprising amount of fun. Strangely I liked the second installment almost better than the first. That said, I can see this film not being so great. I’m not sure what the story is yet. Additionally, I don’t see Amy Adams anywhere in this film. She was probably what was so great about the second film. Well, Hank Azaria was pretty good too.

I’m cautiously optimistic and…
