If you’re a true cinema lover and are a millionaire, Prima Cinema may be the thing you’ve been waiting for. It is an elite movie service which brings cinema movies straight to the comfort of your own home. So if a new film were just released in the cinema today, instead of going to the cinema, you can watch it at home right now.

Uh huh. So how many smackaroos do you have to put down for this?

What’s the cost for all this? $20,000. The cost just doesn’t stop there though. You have to pay $500 each time you watch a new film too.

I’ll pass, thanks.

We won’t actually see the Michael Bay-produced Ninja Turtles until 2014 or so, but in the meantime Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman is keeping the hype machine rolling by naming all sorts of other movies that Ninja Turtles will be like. Among the titles he’s previously name-checked are The Raid: Redemption, Fist of Legend, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Now he’s also likening Ninja Turtles to The Avengers, in terms of “scope and roots origin.” Lord knows there’s a world of difference between emulating The Avengers and actually being as good as The Avengers, but…

Details of the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic have been revealed by its writer, Aaron Sorkin. Sorkin, who has previously penned the likes of The West Wing and The Social Network, has said that the film itself will centre around three scenes, set in real-time of 30 minutes each. The scenes themselves will be set backstage before three major Apple announcements. According to Newsweek CEO Baba Shetty, the three product launches featured in the film would be of the original Macintosh, NeXT and the iPod.

Who knows if this will be any good, but I’ll probably watch it.

We take a look at just some of the major sequences, including the opening train sequence and Bond’s shooting, the MI6 explosion, the Komodo dragon casino attack, the London Underground encounter, the final Scottish highlands scenes and the main titles.

I haven’t gotten to all of this yet, but it’s a lot of fun. Check it out!

Yesterday, I posted a link to the story on HitFix.com that Joseph Gordon-Levitt may be picking up the mantle of Batman for Justice League, and possibly have a cameo in Man of Steel. Personally, though I didn’t say it, I thought that with Nolan involved in Man of Steel, and the fact that he considers Batman all wrapped up, it seems unlikely the cameo in Man of Steel, has any truth to it. But the Justice League thing seemed a possibility.

Well now the movie related Internet is abuzz with news that Gordon-Levitt’s reps have refuted this rumor entirely. Hollywood.com reports:

On Tuesday,…

Here is a chance for you to listen in as Joseph and I record The MovieByte Podcast tonight at 6:30 PM Central Time. We have added two pages to the site (which you can also find in the Podcast dropdown menu above). First is the podcast schedule page. Here you can see when episodes are scheduled, if they’ll be live recording, and when whey will be released.

The second page is where you listen to the live recording. At a future date I hope to integrate an official chat into the live page, but for now we’ll use the built in chat for the site I’m using for the live broadcast, Mixlr. You’ll…

After lots of speculation, rumors, declines and debunks, Star Wars: Episode VII appears to have finally gotten a director! What happened is, Jason Flemyng confirmed Matthew Vaughn’s involvement in the project while on the red carpet for Seven Psychopaths.

...

“Me and Matt have done nine films together, so I’m sure I’ll get the call for Star Wars.”

...

On a follow-up question – if Vaughn is interested – Flemyng looks shocked when he realises the journalists don’t know about Vaughn’s involvement…

Oopsie. Well that get’s pretty close to settling it. I thought it sounded pretty…

Well that sword looks familiar! In this clip Gandalf (Ian McKellan) entrusts Bilbo (Martin Freeman) with the sword that glows blue when orcs are around, which Bilbo later names Sting.

A film adaptation of a supposedly “unfilmable” novel, Ang Lee’s Life of Pi achieves the supposed impossible — it’s an astonishing technical work that’s also emotionally inciting.

Life of Pi is a 2012 American adventure drama film based on Yann Martel’s 2001 novel of the same name. Directed by Ang Lee, the film is based on an adapted screenplay by David Magee, and stars Irrfan Khan, Gérard Depardieu, Tabu, Suraj Sharma, and Adil Hussain. Visual effects are by Rhythm & Hues Studios.

Critics and the public are loving Pi, and this comes at no surprise. The characterization of the zoo…
