‘Cloud Atlas’ Photos

Today we have 38 photos of Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer-directed Cloud Atlas movie.

It is adapted from David Mitchell’s 2004 novel of the same name and follows six stories ranging from the South Pacific in the 19th Century to California in the 1970s to a post-apocalyptic future, and most of the cast play multiple characters throughout the six stories, swapping race and gender in the process.

I’m becoming more and more convinced that I am not going to like this film. But in any event, click on through if you want to see the photos.

Joss Whedon has recruited ER alumna Ming-Na Wenfor one of the leads in his ABC drama pilot Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D., which he is co-writing and directing. The project, from Marvel TV and ABC TV Studios, is based on a peacekeeping group found in both the comic book and feature film universes, including the blockbuster 2012 movie The Avengers.Ming-Na will play Agent Melinda May. Soulful and slightly damaged by her combat experiences, Melinda is an ace pilot, a weapons expert and a soldier who can — and has — gone beyond the call of duty. The character was originally listed on the pilot’s…

Fringe’s Etta - Georgina Haig

Fringe’s Etta - Georgina Haig

One of the best casting additions to Fringe this season has been Georgina Haig playing Peter and Olivia’s daughter of fifteen years in the future. Anna Torv has been called Fringe’s Aussie beauty and the interesting thing about Georgina is that she is also from Australia. Anyone else notice a lot of good acting talent is coming out of Australia lately?

As with Anna, I cannot tell in the show that Georgina is Australian. In fact I didn’t know it until recently. That is pretty amazing to me as I personally cannot realistically simulate any other accent on my American english so to see these…

‘The Dark Knight’ vs. ‘The Avengers’

‘The Dark Knight’ vs. ‘The Avengers’
The New Yorker

It’s worth adding that Pfister admits that he’s “not a big super hero fan. In terms of the movie-going experience for me, I love the realistic stuff because it’s just that much less formulaic.” That may indeed be so—yet Joss Whedon gets far more nuanced emotion from his characters and situations (and, for that matter, more interesting political allegory) in “The Avengers” than Nolan does in “The Dark Knight Rises,” and, as impressive as some of the on-set tricks of “Inception” were, none evoked the joyful awe of Iron Man’s climactic rocketing through the atmosphere near the end of “The…

‘Wanted 2’ - I Don’t Really Want It

So, Haas is now finishing the second draft of the script together with his writing partner Michael Brandt, and as I mentioned up above, the movie will center on McAvoy’s character Wesley who’s now (and that’s like four years later) recruiting a young woman who is in his situation in the first movie.

No no no no no no no no no…

I. Do. Not. WANT. This. Movie. Seriously, Wanted was a horrible, horrible film and I do not see how a sequel to such a terrible movie could be any better. Hey, I’ve got an idea: call me crazy, but why don’t we focus on making some good films, creating new and…

“In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit.”

We’re going to, “see how it all began,” this December 14, and here’s a little more taste of what we’ll be seeing.

Steven Spielberg and John Williams Composing ‘E.T.’

While I am not a fan of E.T. even I have to admit this is pretty cool stuff, watching the masters of their craft talk through scenes and how they should sound, how to invoke the right emotion, whether the music should go up or down. It’s all very cool stuff.

And oh my goodness, that old film projector. Awesome! It’s worth watching just for that.

Alcatraz: The Complete Series DVD

When San Francisco Detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) is assigned to a grisly murder, a fingerprint leads her to an Alcatraz inmate who died over 30 years ago. Once the enigmatic government agent Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill) tries to impede her investigation, Madsen turns to Alcatraz expert Dr. Diego “Doc” Soto (Jorge Garcia), to help her piece together the inexplicable sequence of events.

This just makes me sad. This was such a great series and I loved it so much. It had a short first season and ended on a cliffhanger, a good cliffhanger… and it…

‘Thor 2’ and ‘Iron Man 3’ Spoilers

‘Thor 2’ and ‘Iron Man 3’ Spoilers
/Film

While Marvel has recently released official plot descriptions for Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World, they’re both filled with lots of double speak. Sweeping claims that give absolutely no specifics about the characters or situations in the movie. This, of course, is by design because most people don’t want to read spoilers so far removed from the film’s release, especially when each movie is still shooting.

But there are the intrepid few who eat up spoilers like candy and an insider let a bunch of new details slip regarding the next two Marvel movies. Andrew Lawden, an actor and Marvel…
