Sun, February 3, 2013 Here's the surprisingly underwhelming Super Bowl TV spot for Iron Man 3.
But what's that? There's an Extended Spot online! It's better. But why didn't Disney/Marvel just air this in the first place?!
Sun, February 3, 2013 That. Was. Awesome!
Way to make everyone else look bad, Fast & Furious 6!
Sun, February 3, 2013 One of these days I'll see something from Oz: The Great & Powerful that makes me want to see it. Just not tonight and not from this Super Bowl TV spot. Maybe on opening night?
Sun, February 3, 2013 The Lone Ranger Super Bowl TV spot is surprisingly about the Lone Ranger. No fooling, Johnny Depp barely hogs up the screen!
Sun, February 3, 2013 Why bother sitting through the Super Bowl when the Star Trek Into Darkness spot is here to watch online? Whoever Benedict Cumberbatch is playing (Will they please get it over with and admit he's Khan!?), he's "better at everything."
Everything a Super Bowl spot should be. Show a lot with very little time and have us wanting more.
Thu, January 31, 2013 Could you see any difference between this and the trailer? Good. Glad it wasn't just me.
This World War Z spot is expected to air before the kick-off Sunday. Paramount's way of saying, "We know it sucks. So we won't make you watch during the actual game."

Lightning never strikes twice. So I'm not expecting G.I. Joe: Retaliation to surprise us and be as enjoyably stupid as the first. Expectations were so low; it was bound to surprise. That and we might be guilty of indulging in nostalgia there.
As the marketing ramps up, many will forget (Given the awful attention spans in our community) how Paramount pulled the G.I. Joe sequel from June 2012 at the last minute, dumped it in March, added 3D after the fact and those reshoots to resurrect Channing Tatum. I know producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura denied it. I don't buy it. Like he's really gonna fess up to a spoiler before his movie opens?!
Whatever the outcome, I hope its director Jon Chu doesn't get too fried. The Internet collectively decided he was a shitty choice the moment he was hired. And that was only due to his association with Justin Bieber. Without ever giving him a chance. Because that's how we roll. Guilty until proven innocent.
Not one to wait 'till its box-office turnout (or lack thereof), Chu has lined up his next project. He'll helm Matched, Disney’s adaptation of the Ally Condie-penned young-adult sci-fi novel. It's one of those "In a world full of rules, one woman decided the rules were made to be broken!" There's even a book trailer for it. Yeah, the concept is new to me too. Check it out below.
Hope it works out for Chu for all the bullshit he went through. For all we know, he could be our answer to Steven Spielberg or Christopher Nolan in ten years. Then who's laughing?

Disney was gearing up for a new Cinderella 'till Mark Romanek dropped out. The guy who bailed from The Wolf Man at the 11th Hour should really be trusted with $100 million only never again!
Cate Blanchett is set as the evil stepmother and they seem to still want to make this version. Enter Kenneth Branagh as Vulture reveals he's in discussions with the studio to take over. Talks are underway to keep it on track for a fall start in the UK. Jack Ryan must be further along than we thought.
Did Branagh wake up one morning and say, "You know, I like fluff!" That's not snark on my end (I actually quite like the choice). It's just funny to think back to Branagh the younger man starred and directed in those Shakespeare productions. As he's getting on up there, does he like the idea of making films his kids would sit through?

Neill Blomkamp is taking conventional wisdom on these great actors and flipping it for Elysium. Matt Damon is Lex Luthor in bio-armor, Sharlto Copley is a dwarf extra from The Hobbit and Jodie Foster appears to be channeling Tilda Swinton as per Simply Jodie.
Its due out this August and we're long overdue a trailer. Only glimpses seen were at Comic-Con to raves but that was last year. I want my Elysium footage, damn it!
Back to Foster, I don't know how most took her "Coming Out But Not Really... But Really" speech at the Golden Globes. She's always come across as someone you could strike up a conversation with over coffee (Doesn't strike me as a beer person). Yeah, everyone knows she's gay. Who. Cares?!?
You know some douchebag, probably one of the E!s or Entertainment Tonights, will ask. When it does blow it off and move on, Jodie.

Don't know if Sony is fooling themselves or everyone else. If they're going to make The Girl Who Played With Fire (the second of the Millennium Trilogy), stop yapping. Go make it. All they're doing is kicking a slowly, deflating tire.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo didn't come anywhere close to its pre-release hype. Easily David Fincher's worst film (Alien 3 and Panic Room fans, high five!) and it didn't light a fire at the box-office. Not a soul is clamoring for the return of Lisbeth Salander and the key principles have moved on just fine.
David Fincher recently picked Gone Girl as his next project, Daniel Craig is coming off Skyfall (the biggest James Bond in history) and Rooney Mara scored an Oscar nomination as Salander (well-deserved; the film's criticisms notwithstanding) and got lots of good gigs lined-up like Side Effects and Terrence Malick's latest.
Latest excuse come Sony's way is Craig wants too much money. He headlined the first $1 billion grossing 007 and figures he's due a pay-raise. They're threatening to write his character outta the script. Smells like an empty threat. Mikael Blomkvist wasn't the prominent character in the book, true, but they want Craig's mug on the posters for international appeal.
In real life, if someone spent this much time promising to do something and they still hadn't, guess what? They're never going to. Once they settle with Craig, look for another excuse why The Girl Who Played With Fire hasn't been made.
