Given the mostly negative reactions that The Bourne Legacy garnered earlier this year, it's unlikely that Jeremy Renner will find himself leading another entry in the franchise all by himself, despite plans to mount another sequel at the some point in the future. Fans had suggested that perhaps Matt Damon's character from the original trilogy could, like, team-up with Renner's Aaron Cross, but Damon himself doesn't seem keen on the idea. Maybe Jeremy Renner smells.
Now that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is popular and famous and has won the affections of movie-goers everywhere, he's allowed to write, direct and star in his own movie - he's also allowed to hire Scarlett Johansson as his love interest, which is absolutely not fair, especially when she looks like she does in the image above. Seriously: did Gordon-Levitt see this clip online or something and decide, yeah, she look hot, let's have wear that. Because that's fine with us.
Harrison Ford was once the highest-grossing movie star of all-time. Yes, so popular was Ford in his heyday, that all he had to do was sign on to play a character called Jack in a movie about trying to get back either his wife or family, and the box receipts would come rolling in. Recently, though, the grizzled grump of an actor has had a tough time in Hollywood, what with an entire decade of middling films and an ill-judged sequel that should never have been made in the first place. Is Ender's Game the movie that will put old Ford back in touch with audiences?
Even though it would probably take a machine like that one from Total Recall to erase the horrifying memories of the last attempt at making a Catwoman film, Anne Hathaway - The Dark Knight Rises actress who played a much better incarnation of said character than Halle Berry - has expressed an interest in returning to the role, given that even talking about the fact that she can no longer play Catwoman causes her to burst into tears. Seriously. Here's what Hathaway had to say on the matter:
Given that Monsters University is set at a time when teenage monsters will make that all-important transition to monster adulthood, it perhaps doesn't seem quite right to have Randy Newman providing the soundtrack for that far more experimental period. Newman has scored a whole array of Pixar films over the course of his career, though one could imagine Sulley getting into him at about thirty-five - not at eighteen. Monsters attending University much prefer Mastodon, anyway, according to Pixar, who have signed on to contribute songs for the upcoming Monsters Inc. sequel.
Forbes are in the business of making us lowly pedestrians feel a whole lot better about ourselves when it comes to this whole Hollywood thing, what with their annual list of the biggest flops of the year, and now their list of the most overpaid actors of the year, a list whose title alone is worded in a way that makes it sounds like they really didn't deserve all that money.
Just when we thought Francis Ford Coppola had retreated deep into the jungles of Cambodia like the infamous Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now, the Oscar-winning director has emerged from the undergrowth without a severed head in sight - and apparently he's working on a big studio epic, albeit all secret and secret. Coppola, of course, hasn't made a studio flick since 1997's The Rainmaker, and we all know how that turned out (not too badly, actually - apologies for making you think otherwise).
Christopher Nolan is the golden boy of 21st century cinema, what with his super-gritty take on the Batman mythology, that rotating corridor movie he did with Leonardo DiCaprio, and the fact that CGI addict Zack Synder is currently working on Superman flick Man Of Steel as a sort of tribute to everything Nolanness. Or so we thought.
Now that infernal embargo has been finally lifted, the first wave of reviews for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey have made their way online, and the results are mixed to say the least. Whereas most critics have complimented the film's action sequences and it's inherent fun factor, they have been quick to criticize Jackson's decision to shoot in 48FPS, a movie that has caused many of them to compare the look of the film to that of a TV movie. The consensus so far, then, is that this thing isn't anywhere nearly as good as The Fellowship of the Ring, and lacks the character appeal and pace of that better movie. Alas, not a single 10/10 or 5 star review thus far.
Tom Hooper's long-awaited adaptation of world famous musical Les Misérables isn't far off, and it's safe to say that fans of the original production have been looking forward to seeing this thing in theatres for decades. Tom Hooper, of course, garnered a Best Picture Oscar for The King's Speech, granting audiences high hopes for this all singin' take on Victor Hugo's classic novel of revolution, class and redemption. Hooper has ensured audiences that this adaptation won't be a campy affair, and will instead play things appropriately straight and gritty, something that has been rightfully enforced through having the actors sing their parts live on set (instead of dubbed over in a studio). To celebrate the release of Les Misérables, we've put together a list of 5 scenes we can't wait to see. Enjoy!
