Ever since George Lucas relinquished his force grip over LucasFilm and sent it packing off to DisneyLand, fan reaction has slowly inched away from "Why are there gonna be more Star Wars movies?" to... well, this. And by that, we mean fans are considering the possibility of a new trilogy something to excited about. I mean, it can't get any worse, can it?
Despite being one of the best James Bond ever and the fact that we all thought he was absolutely loving playing one of the world's most beloved characters, Daniel Craig has been reported to have said that he doesn't want to be 007 anymore - and that he wanted to Skyfall to be his last outing as the spy. How... weird?
After a whole bunch of rumors have been flying around recently with regards to potential casting, it's been confirmed that Clive Owen and Juliette Binoche have signed on to star in Words And Pictures, presumably to bicker for 90 minutes and eventually fall in love, given that this is a film bout two opposing teachers at a prep school. And that's what all movies are about, aren't they?
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.
