I’m sure you guys know that I don’t mention every single film that is available to you on a weekend. I try to hit the highlights of the films I feel are worth watching, or films I think are so bad, or are going to be so bad that I should draw your attention to them so you don’t waste your time on them. There are, of course, small time releases that would not be widely available that I often don’t mention. This week too, though, there are a couple films that I just don’t really want to mention in the context that I would mention the others you see below. Films like, Passion, One Direction, The…

I know who went in for an audition to play the daughter of Princess Leia (and presumably Han Solo)…And got it confirmed via representation and other solid sources:

Rachel Hurd-Wood

Our sources told us that she went in for a read and, so far, was the only one that went in for the part. However, there will be other girls going for a read, meaning SHE DOESN’T HAVE THE ROLE YET!! We want to be very clear on that before it gets blown out of context.

Hurd-Wood is an English actress and model who isis known for her role as Wendy Darling in the 2003 film Peter Pan.

That’s not the only thing I…

Now this is strictly a rumor, so take it as you will. If you couldn’t help yourself from clicking this article, but still don’t want this detail spoiled, here’s your last chance to flee…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, it’s already been made clear that Ultron will be a product of Tony Stark and not Hank Pym in THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON, but now it looks like Ultron might just be Tony Stark’s robotic manservant Jarvis given sentience and gone out of control. Even better news is that it looks like Paul Bettany, the voice of Jarvis in all 3 IRON MAN films, may be back and voicing Ultron as…

I’ve got to be honest, I still have no idea what this film is really about. I barely have a high level overview of what it might be about, but it does look intriguing. And why not, I mean, the Japanese have been dominating the cinema this year. Mako Mori was a primary character in a pretty big film this year — Pacific Rim — and she was Japanese. And of course there’s The Woverine, featuring Japanese actors and Japanese culture very heavily. So, now we have 47 Ronin which will have quite a bit of Japanese themes in it, and we have here a Japanese version of the trailer.

It’s been a while…

The success of the Smurfs films may be part of the reason for this new development at Warner Bros. — a new animated Scooby Doo film is in the works.

Atlas Entertainment is doing the heavy lifting, with Charles Roven and Richard Suckle — the same guys who prodded the live-action/CG hybrid films from the early ’00s — producing. Matt Lieberman is scripting. We don’t know the story, but there’ll probably be some mystery, the distant but unescapable sense that this is all a big drug-culture gag, and hopefully a few more nods to Dobie Gillis, the show that was originally a template for the…

For all you Arrested Development nuts:

Arrested Development season 4 ended on a pretty big cliffhanger. It was a bold move by creator Mitch Hurwitz because there was no guarantee the show, which had been off the air for seven years, would reconnect with audiences. Especially since the entire structure was radically different. But it did. Season 4 of Arrested Development was a big hit for Netflix and everyone wanted to bring it back, as long as Hurwitz had an idea.

The question became, would he make a movie like he had originally said years ago? Or would the show simply come back for…

I’m not sure this is the clip I would be putting out there for my big rough and tumble action film, but hey, I’m not a marketing genius, I just like to make cool things and talk about movies.

In this clip, Riddick is battling an extremely dangerous and ugly looking lethal alien monster, but near the end, he’s got time to save some strange looking alien puppy apparently.

The film opens on September the 6^th.

The Guillermo del Toro-directed robots vs. monsters movie may be doing monster box office in China, but an officer in the People’s Liberation Army is no fan. “Hollywood has always been the best American propaganda machine,” wrote Zhang Jieli late last week in a PLA Daily op-ed about Legendary Pictures-Warner Bros‘ Pacific Rim. The PLA Daily is an official China military publication. “The decisive battle against the monsters was deliberately set in South China Sea adjacent to Hong Kong,” Zhang wrote in the editorial, published Friday. “The intention was to demonstrate the U.S. commitment to…

The internet nearly exploded when it was announced that Ben Affleck was going to be taking over the dark suite, cape, and cowl. And it looks like the negativity certainly outweighed the positive feelings out there. And I have to say I’m not seeing it myself but I am perhaps somewhat willing to give it a chance.

Now we have a fan made trailer showing us the possibilities and all I can say is “wow!” No really, it’s really good. This actually makes me want to see the film, and I really did not like Man of Steel. Now granted, we don’t really get to see Affleck playing Batman of course, but this…
