First Trailer "Vampires Suck"

Fox has released the trailer for their spoof to the twilight films called Vampires Suck. The problem is this doesn't look any funnier than Date Movie, Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans, which they're also responsible for. But just for shits and giggles, and because you're already here you might as well check out the trailer below anyways.

In the August 18 release, anxious and non-vampire teen Becca is torn between two boys. Before she can choose, Becca must get around her controlling father, who embarrasses Becca by treating her like a child. Meanwhile, Becca's friends contend with their own romantic issues – all of which collide at the prom.



Men In Black III Plot Details

JoBlo was able to get their hands on the script for the upcoming Men In Black 3D. According to them the film has Agent Jay sent back in time to 1969 where he teams up with a young Kay to stop an evil villain named Yaz from destroying the world in the future.

Apparently there is only one real villain in the plot despite earlier reports that Jemaine Clement was cast as one of many. The villain is Yaz, described as a nightmare biker who looks like Dennis Hopper and Satan, and as they point out the casting makes little to no sense.

What seems like another goof is the continuity error in having Josh Brolin play a 26 year old Agent kay in 1969. Josh Brolin is 42, Tommy Lee Jones is 64. He does have somewhat of a likeness to Jones, but the age gap seems very off.

There's also a new series of alien celebrity cameos as well in the form of Yoko Ono, Jimi Hendrix, Castro, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Which all sounds pretty damn cool to me. I'm not expecting much from this movie as the first two were pretty much just mindless fun, but I am looking forward to it. Minus the 3D of course, which I loath in anything live action.

Four New Inception Clips!

With Inception only 10 days away Warner Bros has finally released four clips from the movie. I'm personally not watching them because I want to know as little as possible before I actually see it. For all I know this is actually a string of infomercials from Vince the hooker beating slap chop guy, I don't know, you'll have to watch and see for yourself.

The video comes courtesy of Collider who also warn you to NOT watch the clips.  That’s because the less you know, the more you’ll enjoy the movie. Consider yourself warned, and be sure to check back next Wednesday for my official review.

Box Office Predictions July 9-11

If you're shocked by the fact that you don't see a Team Edward banner above, don't be. The extremely boring Twilight Eclipse was very front loaded. Granted it did earn 270 million in just six days, but don't expect it return the number one spot again.

New opening this weekend is the Steve Carrell animated feature Despicable Me and the Robert Rodriguez produced Predators remake starring Adrien Brody as Schwarzenegger's replacement. Despite other people predicting Predators to just barely take the number one spot this week, I just don't buy it. Fox has done a whole lot of shit all in marketing it up to this point and it's being released on 500 less screens then its animated family friendly competition.

1. Despicable Me (Universal) - $29 million

2. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (Summit) - $26.5 million

3. Predators (20th Century Fox) - $23 million

4. Toy Story 3 (Disney/Pixar) - $17 million

5. The Last Airbender (Paramount) - $13.5 million

6. Grown Ups (Sony) - $9.5 million

7. Knight and Day (20th Century Fox) - $5.5 million

8. The Karate Kid (Sony) - $4 million

9. The A-Team (20th Century Fox) - $1.6 million

10. Get Him to the Greek (Universal) - 1 million

Next week look for Christopher Nolans big budget mind fuck to blow audiences away, and the Jerry Bruckheimer spectacle The Sorcerer's Apprentice to make a modest opening as well (actually opening early on Wednesday to avoid the added competition from Inception).

Be sure to check back to TMT on Sunday for the Box Office Estimates from Jen.

Chris Evans Talks Captain America!

Empire recently spoke to Chris Evans about Captain America where he talked about the costume and the shield.

On the look and design of the costume:

"It’s an amazing costume. Given the fact that his costume is red, white and blue, and it’s tight, and it could be kind of flash and over the top – and given the fact that the movie takes place in the ‘40s and ‘50s – they’ve done a really good job of making it look really cool."

"I think everyone that’s going to see it is going to say, 'Okay, well done. Well done. I think they got the costume right. The casting they completely ruined, but the costume they nailed!'"

And in comparison to his skin tight costume in Fantastic Four:

 “You could move around quite well. This is a little more cumbersome. It doesn’t exactly breathe the way the Fantastic Four costume breathed, but it’s the way it should be. Any type of World War II uniform would be a little chunky, and I think that’s what kind of gives it its character.”

To see what he said about the shield go HERE.

I'll admit I was originally on the fence about Evans casting, but I'm definitely down with it now. Very little aside from the concept art for the suit and the casting have actually been revealed at this point, but it's starting to sound pretty damn awesome! Can't wait to actually see something from the production.

Captain America: The First Avenger opens July 22, 2011.

Mad Max is Being Shot in 3D

It's long been known that the Mad Max reboot/remake/sequel whatever they're calling it would be released in 3D, but the general consensus was that it was being converted in post. Well now according to InsideFilm the plan is to actually shoot Mad Max: Fury Road with 3D cameras. Miller told them exclusively:

“We are doing 3D on Fury Road – we are shooting with real 3D cameras, Seven years ago we were going to shoot in 3D but the technology in cinemas wasn’t geared for it then but I always loved 3D or stereo,”

According to them Miller is also building his own 3D rigs and cameras based on technology originally developed by Dalsa Corporation, but nothing has been confirmed.

It was also recently reported that Miller had plans to shoot two Mad Max films back to back, Mad Max: Fury Road and Mad Max Furiosa, but the supposed second film wasn't at all mentioned in their report.

First Trailer "Operation Endgame"

A group of misfit spies all kicking one another's asses, that's about all you need to know about this. It doesn't actually look very good, but I'm a big fan of Rob Corddry and Zack Galifianakis who play two of the quirky spies, so I'll give it a chance.

It's almost too bad this was made on a small budget and its only receiving a limited release later this month. If done right this could have been a hilarious action comedy. But I guess studious are sick of gambling with unproven and untested original material.

Also appearing in the pretty much direct to video limited release is Emilie de Ravin, Ving Rhames, Ellen Barkin, Odette Yustman, Maggie Q and Jeffrey Tambor.

International Poster "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World"

Empire has released the new international poster for the hugely shit on across the board Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. I have to say though from the looks of this poster and all the trailers having been released, this actually looks like a pretty fun movie. I'm not expecting to be blown away or mind fucked, but being thoroughly entertained doesn't seem out of the question.

"Scott Pilgrim" centers on the carefree young man (Cera) who finds the girl literally of his dreams in Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). In order to win her over, he must defeat her seven evil exes, but can he do it? The cast for the 'epic' feature includes Ellen Wong, Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, Brandon Routh, Alison Pill, Chris Evans and Jason Schwartzman. The comic book film blasts into theaters everywhere this August 13th.

Kevin Smith Project Updates

While promoting the DVD and Blu-Ray release of Cop Out, Kevin Smith talked to ComingSoon about two of his upcoming projects in development.

Red State is a horror film about a group of misfits encounter fundamentalism gone to the extreme in Middle America.

The plan is to begin shooting in August and has locked its two leads. Smith said that he's not yet ready to announce them but that he specifically cast actors who aren't the biggest stars as part of the film's aesthetic.

Hit Somebody is the story of a hockey player with a talent for fighting. Based on the song of the same name by Warren Zevon, which was written by Mitch Albom.

It's still in the scripting stage but early plans are for it to shoot in Detroit sometime next year.

"Sucker Punch" Won't Be Converted to 3D?

Director Zack Snyder hasn't been blown away by any of the recent attempts at post conversion 3D. Speaking to MTV, Snyder said that he’s been talking with Warner Bros. about converting his upcoming film Sucker Punch into 3D. He doesn't seem too keen on the idea of doing a post-conversion:

“We’ve looked at a bunch of conversions, so whether or not we have the time to do it right — I’m not going to do it if we don’t have the time to really be meticulous with it.  It’s such an awesome piece of work and everyone’s worked so hard to make it awesome, so I don’t want to screw it up with bad 3D.”

Also not overly impressed with the growing trend in Hollywood is Zack's wife and producer Debbie Snyder. Here's what she had to say about 3D, and if Sucker Punch really needs it:

“There are very few vendors out there that are doing [conversions].  There are all these movies that want to be converted and we just haven’t felt like we’ve seen that proof yet. Visually, Zack’s done an amazing job. It’s such a spectacle in and of itself and it’s so fantastical that it doesn’t really need the 3-D.”

Snyder has described the film as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns", including dragons, B-52 bombers and brothels.

Set in the 1950s, it tells the story of Baby Doll, who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather and lobotomy. She ends up in mental institution and while there she starts to imagine alternative reality. She plans to escape from that imaginary world but to do that she needs to steal five objects before she is caught by a vile man. She has 5 days to escape before being lobotomized. In order to cope with the situation, she enters the hyper-real world of her imagination, and the lines between reality and dream begin to blur. She is joined with friends who are inmates from the institution. Lessons learned in the said fantasy world could help the girls escape their real-world fate

It's nice to see not everyone in Hollywood has jumped on the 3D bandwagon all at once. After the mess that was the Clash of the Titans remake, you'd think Warner Bros especially would cool off of the 3D post conversions. The only thing that seems to really work in 3D is animation. Snyder’s upcoming animated film Legends of the Guardians is in 3D, but that was always the intent.
