Another intense clip for ‘Gravity’

Another intense clip for ‘Gravity’

I hope I’m not disapointed by this film. I suspect that many might find it a little boring, even though what we are seeing is intense, I think the general movie-going audience wants a different type of intensity — you know, like super-heroes crashing around.

But I sort of suspect that I personally might like this film. But it really does depend on where it’s going, what the end of the film is like, and of course, how we get there.

Gravity premieres on October 4th.

‘In a World’ Clip

‘In a World’ Clip

In this clip from Lake Bell’s upcoming film, In a World, apparently Russian Storm Troopers will not find the droids they are looking for…

There’s something interesting looking to me about this film. And goodness knows Lake Bell is working her tail off for it. For this film she is writing, directing, producing, AND acting in the lead roll. That’s a WHOLE lot of work, let me assure you.

The story of this film is about the daughter of a veteran voice-over star who is looking to break into the business and battling to get voicing jobs for trailers that might be the next big film.

The film…

‘47 Ronin’ Trailer

‘47 Ronin’ Trailer

So, this looks interesting, even if Keanu Reeves still can’t act. But I daresay the film looks fairly interesting to me, though I can’t exactly say why.

One thing is for sure, this film has had a troubled journey. It comes from first time filmmaker Carl Rinsch, and was originally scheduled to hit the box office last November. That didn’t happen and it went through a few rough bumps and dates before finally landing on Christmas Day of this year.

After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and restore honor to their…

New Intense ‘Gravity’ Trailer is Intense

New Intense ‘Gravity’ Trailer is Intense

Did I mention this thing is intense? Holy cow! And it’s all one entire take. I had heard that much of the film is done through single long takes, and man that’s pretty crazy.

I still don’t know what to make of this film and whether it will be any good. The only other work that I’ve seen from director Alfonso Cuarón is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. While certainly not the worst film in the Harry Potter film adaptations, I felt like it could have been better, directorialy.

So, what does that mean for this film? Probably nothing at all. I’ll wait to see if this film is any good.

Elysium Featurettes Detail The World Building and Blomkamp’s Vision

Elysium Featurettes Detail The World Building and Blomkamp’s Vision

I’ve been looking forward to this film with some trepidation, and the first featurette below sends up some new red flags for me. I feel like the whole worldview may be all off and wrong. But that’s just my own personal opinion. You may be of a different persuasion. In any event there’s definitely a pitting of the have’s vs. the have nots. The question for me is why is this happening, is there actual oppression going on, and more. All these questions will be answered when we see the film on August 9.

In the meantime, check out these featurettes and clips.

‘Veronica Mars’ Movie - Featurette/Trailer

‘Veronica Mars’ Movie - Featurette/Trailer

I know litterally nothing about the show. In fact, I hadn’t really heard of it until the Kickstarter campaign that went through the roof so yay for viral marketing and kickstarters and whatnot.

I don’t know if I’ll have time to catch up on the show and subsequently see the film any time soon, but for those of you who are fans and looking forward to this, I think this sneak peek video might be right up your alley.

This video appeared at SDCC. It features a couple of minutes of Featurette type material, followed by what is essentially a teaser trailer for the upcoming film. Also, there’s…

‘Riddick’ Red Band Trailer

‘Riddick’ Red Band Trailer

I don’t often post red band trailers, but sometimes I feel it necessary if I’ve mentioned a film, especially more than once, that is upcoming that I have been interested in. I do it so you can be sure to know what you are in for in case you decide to go see it based on my interest.

Well, let me tell you, this trailer is a red band for a reason. There’s not a lot of language, just one F-bomb, but there’s a whole lot of gore and blood and the like. You’ll want to make sure you don’t have a weak stomach before you watch this one. And if you can’t handle the trailer, best not head to the theater…

‘Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom’ Featuring Idris Elba

‘Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom’ Featuring Idris Elba

Since I’m on a Pacific Rim roll this morning, I thought I would also post a trailer featuring one of the primary actors from Pacific Rim, Idris Elba. The film also stars Naomie Harris of Pirates of the Carribean, and Skyfall fame.

The film is slated for release in the U.K., I have no information on when/if it might be releasing in the U.S. but I would definitely be interested in watching it. It looks like it could be very good.

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.
