No, no... this isn't some secret Marvel adaptation with Colin Firth cast as infamous card-throwing X-Men hero. Sorry to get you all excited, but this just a regular old film. Remember those? Which means no cinematic universe crossovers or Hugh Jackman cameos. Boring, I know.
If you're familiar with Ben Wheatley's Kill List already, you're probably developed a strange and terrifying phobia of tunnels. If you haven't, you owe yourself a screening of the modern horror classic. You didn't much like tunnels anyway, did you?
Hm? Agh! What are you doing little girl from Spy Kids? Seriously! My God! Put some clothes on! Oh, you're 24 years-old now? How did that happen? Well, I suppose it's okay for you to look like that, then. Keep it up.
In news that should have probably been anticipated (because, well, Zack Snyder is involved), Warner Bros. announced today that the upcoming Superman movie Man Of Steel will be released in 3D, 2D and IMAX. So basically you can view it in any format you want. Or, if you're somewhat insane, you can view it in all three, write down the differences and blog about it when you get home.
Steven Soderbergh - a director who has been aptly referred to on many occasions as a "chameleon" - doesn't seem to take a break. He's always got a new movie on the way, and every project with his name attached always comes out completely different from the last. The man needs to take a chill pill. Speaking of which (and here's the segue-way), The Bitter Pill is coming out soon, isn't it? Oh, but the title has been changed to Side Effects? But it's still about pills, so the segue-way works.
If you've got an extremely famous movie just sitting their in the archives doing nothing, you might as well do something with it, right? Like, uh, release a new Blu-ray version with sixteen extra discs, or... um, a special collector's director's edition that spurts quotes from the film when you open the case. Or save yourself the hassle of work and just re-release it in theatres in 3D, I guess.
If you've been lying awake at night, hopin' and prayin' that for some reason you'll get to see a bunch of Lincoln clips before the movie hits theatres on November 16th, then today's your lucky day, patriot: three clips for the upcoming Steven Spielberg biopic have been unveiled online for your viewin' pleasure. Notice that we've put an apostrophe at the end of a few words in this article so far: that's to get you used to the period setting of the movie.
If you're the Walt Disney company and you need to cast Walt Disney for an upcoming Walt Disney-based film, you can't get somebody who associates as a sexual deviant or a pimp or an asshole - you need an actor who comes over pure and inherently good-willed, somebody that the world already likes. Because your company's colossal reputation is built around one man's ideology, isn't it? That's why we say sorry, Gary Oldman, but no Walt Disney for you. Tom Hanks, on the other hand... well, perfect.
Ever since that bearded billionaire went ahead and sold his company to Disney for $4.05 billion, the internet has been flooded with stories speculating wildly on who exactly might get to take the reigns for a new trilogy of Star Wars flicks in 2015. Well, there's already been reports that Matthew Vaughn is the man for the job, but you can't trust anything that these internet websites say, can you? Except this one, of course. Probably.
Product placement is an essential part of the movie business. If you want to make a watch cool, you put it in a movie and give it to James Bond. If you want your laptop to sell more units, make it the hacker's choice of computer in your picture. And if you want your alcoholic beverage to be enjoyed responsibly, you give it to Denzel Washington's character in Flight. Um, wait. No. That last one doesn't work.
