My thoughts and stuff…
Well, I don’t know if this surprises anyone after the string of high quality hits Warner Bros. Pictures has had come out in the past year. The HARRY POTTER series alone constantly brings in at least $800 million worldwide per release. With all the other releases they’ve had this year, such as THE HANGOVER (which basically printed money), they have easily acquired this top position.

Aside from Hawkeye and Spider-Man, Captain America is one of my favorite Marvel heroes. You can’t even imagine my excitement when FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA was announced. I immediately had a rush of images and ideas about what the film would be like.
Then they admitted that the film would take place during World War II before Cap is frozen, and then The Avengers would find him in the AVENGERS film. Continue reading “CAPTAIN AMERICA to begin filming in June”
TEKKEN was probably one of the first Playstation games I owned. I used to always have my friends over to play, and we would have bracketed tournaments. And,just like every great video game series, a movie version of TEKKEN is being soon-to-be-released.
Most video game movies make fans sigh and wonder why Hollywood bothered (STREET FIGHTER), others make fans jump with excitement because they look so good (PRINCE OF PERSIA). Nobody knows with TEKKEN, though, because we don’t know much about it. TEKKEN is set for release in Japan in March 6th, 2010 by Warner Bros., but this poster might create some buzz in the states. You can check out the poster after the jump! Continue reading “New Japanese TEKKEN poster”
After INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS came out, everybody was talking about Christoph Waltz. It was almost unanimously agreed that he was the stand-out performance in a movie full of stand-out performances. It’s also been said that he is a shoo-in for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. But now we don’t need to worry about Waltz’s career beyond Oscar buzz, because he is lining up projects and isn’t going anywhere. Continue reading “Christoph Waltz is in THE TALKING CURE”
SHUTTER ISLAND, you had me at Scorsese. We have had so many different things come out in promotion for SHUTTER ISLAND. Of course, this movie is getting a lot of buzz for not only being a new Scorsese film, but also being another Scorsese film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. They previously did GANGS OF NEW YORK, THE AVIATOR, and THE DEPARTED together.
This new poster just seems like the studio wants to remind us that the movie is still coming, as the film was recently delayed. The poster is nothing too special but still worth a peek, which you can get after the jump! Continue reading “New SHUTTER ISLAND poster”
DESPICABLE ME is a movie that somehow had slipped past my radar. I literally knew nothing about this movie when I saw the trailer before AVATAR. Mid-trailer, I knew that this movie was going to be awesome. Steve Carell has the perfect voice for animated features, which gives this film a lot of clout. Continue reading “DESPICABLE ME gets another new teaser”
A teaser for the upcoming MARMADUKE live action film has hit the web, just to give us a taste of what the film will be like. The story takes place when Marmaduke (voiced by Owen Wilson) and his family move from Kansas to Orange County. The film is supposed to be a teen drama about dogs.
The trailer is an obvious Sspoof of the Fox TV series “The O.C.” which could turn many people away, but actually is what hooked me. I hope this doesn’t ruin my cred, but I love “The O.C.”. If MARMADUKE has captured a similar feel to the show, I think it could end up being a really great movie.
Check out the teaser after the jump! Continue reading “MARMADUKE teaser is full of angst”
Move over Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, there is a new Looney Tune going front and center. MARVIN THE MARTIAN is booked to get the big screen treatment, solo-style. The movie will be a CG and live action hybrid, with Marvin being CG and the rest of the world being live action.
The film also has a director, Alex Zamm, who was attached to the live-action HONG KONG PHOOEY film we reported about over the summer. Also attached to the project are writers Paul Kaplan and Mark Torgove, who previously wrote for “Spin City,” and are currently writing a feature-length CHIPS movie. Additionally, they are looking at some big names to voice the Martian, like Mike Myers. Continue reading “Warner Bros. is making MARVIN THE MARTIAN movie”
Earlier this month, we reported that the third JACKASS movie might be coming at us in 3-D. Now we know for sure that Johnny Knoxville and the guys will be grossing us out in all 3 dimensions late next year. Of course the extremely outspoken Mr. Knoxville, cracked a joke about this announcement.
Check out what he had to say about the film, after the jump! Continue reading “JACKASS will be grossing us out in 3-D”
THE HANGOVER was the big sleeper hit of the summer, and rightfully so. It had a hilarious cast, outrageous plot, and enough cursing to make you re-evaluate your own vocabulary. A sequel was announced a while back, and is leaving people anxious as to what the plot might be. Word is getting out that the boys might be heading overseas.
Sources are telling the guys over at CHUD that the sequel will take place in Thailand. Since the film still has a while to go before it is released the plot could change, but for now this is their plan. Additionally, they were told that Thailand was the original idea for OLD SCHOOL DOS, the canceled sequel to the 2003 film OLD SCHOOL.
I’m not all that positive how I feel about this movie yet. The first one was so good, but they played out the basic idea of a hangover, and I’d like to see something different. Hopefully they don’t just throw the boys into the same situation under different pretenses. THE HANGOVER 2 is set to come out Memorial Day weekend 2011.
