Entertainment Weekly

There was never just one Bourne DVD.

Universal will announce today that The Bourne Legacy is coming to DVD, Blu-ray Combo Pack, On Demand, and digital download December 11, 2012. The thriller follows agent Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) as he fights to survive an epic, twisty game of cat-and-mouse — following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Jason Bourne. Edward Norton and Rachel Weisz also star. Special features include a variety of making-of featurettes, a set of deleted scenes, and commentary from director/co-writer Tony Gilroy.

I have no intention of putting this horrible film in…

Jack Reacher

Jack Reacher

I’m not sure how I have not heard about / paid any attention to this film, but the trailer sure makes it look fantastic. I shared with with Joseph this morning and he thought the same thing.

Synopsis:

On interrogation, the suspect offers up a single note: “Get Jack Reacher!” So begins an extraordinary chase for the truth, pitting Jack Reacher against an unexpected enemy, with a skill for violence and a secret to keep.

‘Ghostbusters 3’ Scheduled for Summer 2013?

‘Ghostbusters 3’ Scheduled for Summer 2013?
/Film

Could Ghostbusters 3 really, finally, at long last, be getting into gear? The long-awaited horror prequel was put in “suspended animation” earlier this year, but since this project never stays dead for long, it soon picked up a new writer to pen a fresh script. Now it looks like director Ivan Reitman, star Dan Aykroyd, and the studio are preparing to shoot next summer.

Hmm. I’m not convinced that the world needs more Ghostbusters but apparently studios and producers disagree with me. The world is a stupid place sometimes.

 

Joss Whedon Responds to Cinematographer

Joss Whedon Responds to Cinematographer

When reached by EW, The Avengers writer-director Joss Whedon responded: “I’m sorry to hear it, I’m a fan.”

Well, someone has more class here. Guess who looks like the better man here? Also:

Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, who shot The Avengers, shouldn’t be too put out, though. After all, he’s an Oscar-nominated director of photography who’s worked on films such as AtonementWe Need to Talk About Kevin, and the upcoming Kiera Knightley-starrer Anna Karenina. He’s currently slated to shoot 2014′s Godzilla remake.

So apparently his way of filming things is quite valid.

 

‘Batman’ Cinematographer says ‘The Avengers’ is Appalling

Movie Line

“What’s really important is storytelling. None of it matters if it doesn’t support the story,” said Pfister. “I thought The Avengers was an appalling film. They’d shoot from some odd angle and I’d think, why is the camera there? Oh, I see, because they spent half a million on the set and they have to show it off. It took me completely out of the movie. I was driven bonkers by that illogical form of storytelling.”

Please, can’t we all just get along. Because someone does something differently than another does not necessarily make it right or wrong. And in fact, I personally thought The…

‘Son of Ernest’ To Dishonor Jim Varney

‘Son of Ernest’ To Dishonor Jim Varney
/Film

Is there any character at this point that spans TV and film in the unusual way that Jim Varney‘s character Ernest P. Worrell did in the ’80s and ’90s? The seemingly bygone career of Larry the Cable Guy comes close, but Ernest has him beat. Ernest P. Worrell, played by Varney, began life as an ad pitchman thanks to the agency Carden and Cherry, then moved into his own TV show, and headlined a nine-film series. (OK, only five of those were theatrical releases. Still.)

Now John Cherry, the character’s creator and the man who directed most of the theatrical Ernest appearances, wants…

Spielberg Sent Script to Fake ‘Argo’ Production Company

Spielberg Sent Script to Fake ‘Argo’ Production Company
The Playlist - Indiewire.com

Recounting his mission on the CIA website (via Reddit), Mendez provides every detail you might want to know (including a scan of the original poster for the movie—see below), but he also notes that among the scripts that crossed the desk of the studio—that as far as everyone was concerned was real—was a submission by a guy named Steven Spielberg. Could it have been “E.T.,” which he would eventually make in 1981 (and release in 1982)? At the time, he was coming off “1941,” and while he would be filming “Raiders Of The Lost Ark” during when most of the events of the film took place, remember…
