We've already seen Universal release screenplays that they think have a shot going into awards season. Many have questioned their judgment on one or two of these (Snow White and the Huntsman? Really???), however they also chose to put up some interesting choices like Judd Apatow's This is 40 and Tom Hooper's upcoming adaptation of Les Miserables (which unfortunately has still not been put back up).
We have a really special treat for Hobbit fans today. Thanks to Comic Book Movie, we have 150 images from the first part of Peter Jackson's upcoming adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.
It's quite possible that many people reading this have never even heard of the talented writer/director Michael Haneke. He's the man behind such fascinating films as Cache, which tells the tale of a family being terrorized by surveillance tapes, and The White Ribbon, which tells of strange events in a small village. The latter earned him the prestigious Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, an honor that was once again bestowed upon him earlier this year for his latest work, Amour.
While the film is a similarly-bland telling of the same origin story we saw brought to film just ten years ago, The Amazing Spider-Man Blu-Ray is easily recommendable for its outstanding video and audio quality, as well as a plethora of insightful and fascinating special features.
It seems like we've been talking about Peter Jackson's upcoming adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit for ages now, but now we're down to just over a month to go before we finally get our chance to see if the wait has been worth it.
One of the biggest releases left for the remainder of the year is Tom Hooper's upcoming adaptation of the hit musical Les Miserables, a film which is already being considered an Oscar contender.
In case you've been worrying that we haven't been seeing enough posters for the first part of Peter Jackson's epic adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, then you need not worry anymore as today, thanks to Comic Book Movie, we have 17 character posters for your viewing pleasure. You may have seen them in low-res before, but now they're available in much better quality.
A couple of years ago, I walked into a screening of the first Despicable Me not knowing anything about it and not really expecting to get much out of it. Little did I know that it would actually be a very surprising film, even making my top ten list of 2010. Now that we're faced with a sequel, the aptly-named Despicable Me 2, I'm actually finding myself anticipating an animated film, something that hasn't happened in quite some time.
Once more, the marketing goodies just keep trickling out for Peter Jackson's highly-anticipated adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Today, they're in the form of new images taken from a recent Empire magazine article.
The upcoming flick Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters remains a bit of a mystery. First, it was delayed from this year to next year, then it was unclear as to whether it was going to be rated PG-13 or R, and then the film was delayed another two weeks to get a simultaneous IMAX release (at least that's what the studio says).
