Thu, January 26, 2012 Ridley Scott's highly anticipated return to sci fi "Prometheus" has garnered a lot of positive feedback from what has been revealed so far, with a genuine feeling he has captured the magic again as in his previous two outings in the genre.
The image, from Prometheus-Movie, features the giant stone head we've seen a few times now and will no doubt fuel more Space Jockey theories.
Thu, January 26, 2012 "Lockout" has been described as "Die Hard in space." After viewing the trailer courtesy of IGN, I can see why.
Sure, there is some pretty corny dialogue and this doesn't look like the most original slice of cinematic pie out there. But the action looks solid enough and Guy Pearce seems to be enjoying his character. How often do you really see that in these type of movies?

In probably the best news that's come to the Terminator universe in a long time, current franchise rights holder Megan Ellison (head of Annapurna Films) went on record today to state that the next installment of the sci-fi franchise will be rated R. Responding to a question asked by TheTerminatorFans.com on Twitter in regards to the film's rating, Ellison had this awesome response to say:
We can’t really tell you guys anything about Terminator BUT it will be an R rated film as God and James Cameron intended.
How refreshing is that to here? With all the bullshit dumbing down of action franchises in recent years (Terminator, Die Hard, most recently The Expendables) it's nice to here this woman knows what true fans of Terminator want.
Now if they can only bring back Linda Hamilton along with Arnold and have James Cameron executive produce, I'd be sold.
Thu, January 26, 2012 While it still doesn't leave you wanting more (unlike Snow White & the Huntsman) and remains surprisingly un-Tarsem (No striking visuals), this new international trailer for Mirror Mirror, via Coming Soon, is an improvement in every way possible from the trailer last year. Namely making it about Snow White (Lily Collins) instead of the Evil Queen (Julia Roberts) and not playing it up as a broad screwball comedy but a family-friendly fairy tale with a fair amount of adventure and humor.
An odd choice since you'd think Relativity Media would have had the Queen-centric trailer for the international crowds since Roberts still has name-appeal and vice versa.
Thu, January 26, 2012 Universal is here to remind us Snow White & the Huntsman is coming. Not that anyone forgot following that kick-ass teaser trailer.
The studio has taken to the official Facebook page for the forthcoming Rupert Sanders-directed epic and posted this new shot of Kristen Stewart in the title role. No, I can't tell what she's doing in this picture either, and there's no Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth or Ian McShane dwarves in sight. Um, enjoy?

Some will laugh, but it's true. Russell Brand, under the right dosage, can be good. I know that's hard to imagine factoring in the annoyance of his Katy Perry marriage (now DOA) and all the crappy non-Forgetting Sarah Marshall films he's starred in. We'll see how he fares in Rock of Ages and Diablo Cody's untitled directorial debut.
Variety says someone else is taking a swing with the UK personality-turned-actor. He's attached to star in The Hauntrepreneur for Paramount and Platinum Dunes. The plot centers on "a family that has trouble adjusting to a new town and hires a peculiar man who calls himself the Hauntrepreneur to help them. In an attempt to bring them together, the man creates a haunted house filled with an odd cast of characters."
We're led to assume Brand is the title character. Unless someone had the bold idea of making him the dad in this family. That would be interesting to see if Brand play a role straight. Not the case here obviously.

Certain filmmakers (whether or not they proclaim to the top of mountain ahead of time) will simply up and retire from making movies. But others like Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg have directorial skills so deep within the fabric of their DNA I can't imagine them ever stopping. On the (inevitable) days of their passing, we'll read in their obituaries something to the effect of, "As they were in the midst of preparing their latest film..."
In the case of Spielberg, his filmography goes in spurts. A couple of years, we won't see anything from the man outside of Executive Producer credits on miscellaneous popcorn fluff from Amblin or DreamWorks productions or as the case of last year, suddenly he's unstoppable working behind the camera. This past Christmas, movie-goers were given two very different pictures under the Beard's direction, The Adventures of Tintin and War Horse, he just wrapped filming on Lincoln for release this Christmas and he's preparing another sci-fi spectacle the ill-titled Robopocalypse. And don't think he hasn't planned ahead past that either.
While not a done deal, Spielberg is coming close to signing a deal with Warner Brothers to direct Gods & Kings, reports "TOLDJA." The epic retelling of Moses is envisioned as less Ten Commandments, more Saving Private Ryan. Certainly a different take of the story as seen in years' past and an interesting film for Spielberg to partake in. He's said in various interviews how marriage and the birth of his children helped affirm his Jewish faith. Thus resulting in the confidence and maturity for him to be able to make films like Schindler's List and the underrated (and lest I not forget to add, brilliant) Munich.
The younger Spielberg may have handled this material more as a spectacle, a direction Cecil B. DeMille took with The Ten Commandments. But I'd like to see what the older, veteran Spielberg will do with this.
Thu, January 26, 2012 In the new film, Johnny (Cage) - still struggling with his curse as the devil's bounty hunter - is hiding out in a remote part of Eastern Europe when he is recruited by a secret sect of the church to save a young boy (Fergus Riordan) from the devil (Hinds). At first, Johnny is reluctant to embrace the power of the Ghost Rider, but it is the only way to protect the boy - and possibly rid himself of his curse forever.
