‘Independence Day’ Sequels

‘Independence Day’ Sequels

The pair are still referring to the films as ID Forever Part One and ID Forever Part Two and, in a new interview, Emmerich they’ll likely be shot in 2D and up-converted to 3D. Devlin also said they’re exploring a “lovable” tone as that was one of the surprising things people took out of the original. Read more after the jump.

I was not even aware there was a sequel in the works, let alone two. I’m not a huge fan of the original and I’m not a huge fan of Roland Emmerich. Still, it could be fun.

Hemsworth, Taylor and hundreds of extras are currently filming in England and beautiful set photos have leaked out featuring a massive, massive battle in the woods. After the jump, check out a bunch of the photos, which include what looks to be a new, slimmed down costume.

Be warned that while there’s nothing immediately revealing in these images – Thor fights people, big surprise – they certainly reveal more than some people might want to see and should be considered minor spoilers.

Joss Whedon Shepherding the Marvel Movie Universe

Joss Whedon Shepherding the Marvel Movie Universe

Whedon explained that his Marvel deal allows him to make other films like Much Ado About Nothing as he preps the next big stage of Marvel’s cinema. Part of Whedon’s job with the next stage of the MCU is acting as a sort of godfather, making sure that all the stories work together.

...

And he explains that The Avengers — specifically the team-building part of that story — is just the beginning of what he wants to accomplish with the world’s biggest hero team.

The creation of the team is not the happy ending. It is the beginning of something that is complex and difficult, and now I…

Hangout with Steven Spielberg Announced for ‘Lincoln’

Hangout with Steven Spielberg Announced for ‘Lincoln’

Steven Speilberg’s been hard at work to bring to us another award-winning biopic. This time, what with Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln, he is bound to create quite a buzz with the film and stir up age-old controversy and worship for the 16th president of these United States of America.

It’s practically impossible to imagine that Lincoln will not reflect a highly subjective viewpoint of Abe. Some will be very happy with the American spirit and glorification of their “patron saint of freedom.” While one would expect history buffs to be the target audience of Spielberg’s film, it’s…

Whedon’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’

Whedon’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’
Slash Film

Shot in just 12 days while Whedon was finishing up The Avengers, this version retains the Bard’s dialogue but moves the action to contemporary LA. (Specifically, Whedon’s own house.) Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof star as Beatrice and Benedick, acquaintances whose prickly banter signals an obvious compatibility. Other Whedon favorites fill out the rest of the cast: Fran KranzNathan FillionSean Maher, and Clark Gregg. Read more of the early buzz after the jump.

I love how Whedon has a sort of casting pool he draws from. Alexis Denisof and Amy Acker played Wesley Wyndam-Pryce…

If you don’t want to know anything about where some of the footage from Skyfall, the latest James Bond film, fits into the narrative, it’s best to skip this behind the scenes video. Because this is the one where director Sam Mendes talks about shooting the film’s opening pre-credits action sequence. In doing so, he places quite a bit of the footage we’ve seen so far, and explains what’s really going on. For those who want to know more now than later, hit the jump for the video.

Alright, alright, I guess I’m going to have to see these new Bond films. I must admit that I have never been a…
