I was more excited for this film before I saw this trailer, unfortunately. I thought the previous trailers for this film had heart and were funny and charming. This trailer appears to have none of those elements. I’ll still probably see the film though and just hope whoever put this trailer together is just stupid or something.

Hey look, it’s a cash grab! Despicable Me did very well for itself, putting $543 Million in the bank from it’s worldwide gross. Despicable Me 2 blew the doors off the vault and overflowed the coffers something fierce at $970.7 million worldwide gross. It’s no surprise that the studios involved are very interested in continuing to bring in revenue from this particular stream.

A lot of people think the Minions are the best part of Despicable Me. I’m not quite in that camp. Sure they’re both funny and fun, but I don’t want an entire movie based just on them. But that’s what we are going to get.…

Chappie will mark Neill Blomkamp’s third outing to the big screen. Given what’s come before, I’m not so sure I can get too excited about this film. I know it’s sacrilegious, but I was just not that impressed with District 9, and Elysium was just a complete and utter train wreck. Again, I’m probably treading on thin ice here with many of you (hey Fizz), but I find very little to like about the man’s filmmaking style, his approach to story-telling, and his cinematographic instincts. It’s just not my style. But I know a lot of people love those things about Blomkamp. Our differences is what…

Well, it’s here. Paul Walker is actually featured quite prominently in the trailer. Given that, if memory serves, he still had a lot of filming left to do when he passed, I’m not sure how that’s going to work out, but he’s certainly in the trailer — a lot.

I don’t want to say too much disparaging about Walker’s last film, and I certainly didn’t hate the previous film as much as I thought I would, but I don’t expect this to be cinematic excellence any more than any of the other films in this franchise. It will be, I’m sure, all about over the top action, crazy premises, and family. The…

THR reports that Christian Bale has bailed on the movie, citing “conflicting feelings” and the ultimate realization that “he was not right for the part and decided to withdraw.” While the exact nature of Bale’s concerns aren’t yet known (maybe he felt bad doing the movie after David Fincher,who first courted him for the project, departed), the actor is due on the press circuit soon for “Exodus: Gods And Kings,” so he’ll surely be asked about this matter. It should be noted that the actor was never technically signed on.

Well, that’s kind of a bummer. While I have been sort of unsure about…

THR reports that Scott will produce the miniseries “3001: The Final Odyssey,” based on Arthur C. Clarke‘s novel, for Syfy. So in other words, this is a sequel to “2001: A Space Odyssey” (well, technically it follows “2010,” but still). And in case you’re wondering, this project has the full backing of the author’s estate as well as that of Kubrick’s.

Tasked with writing the script will be Stuart Beattie, who to his credit has Michael Mann‘s “Colatteral” on his CV. But mostly, Beattie’s fimography is cluttered with stuff like “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” “G.I.…

Interstellar releases THIS WEEKEND! Obviously the hype generating machine wants to give us just a little bit more of a taste and really whet our appetites.

In these two clips, there appears to be a dust problem on earth that is affecting people’s lungs, and our astronauts are trying to learn when to talk and when not to. Also honesty is maybe not always the best policy? Over sharing, perhaps?

Is it the weekend yet?

Joan Clarke appears to have impressed Alan Turing in this clip from the upcoming film, The Imitation Game. Turing seems to think rather highly of himself saying that whatever problem he has set forth is impossible to do in the allotted time because he himself takes longer to do it. It would seem Clarke is faster than he is.

I’m looking forward to seeing this on November 21st!

Variety reports that the MPAA has, as of just a few days ago, issued a “zero-tolerance” policy, banning use of Google Glass and all other similarly designed techware for use in movie theaters across the nation. This should come as no surprise to anyone who is even remotely familiar for the potential for privacy breaches inherent in the design of something like Google Glass, and there has already been concern. Earlier this year of an Ohio moviegoer found himself talking with Homeland Security after bringing his Google Glasses to a screening of “Jack Reacher.”

Below is the official statement…
