The Odd Life Of Timothy Green Trailer And Poster

Comingsoon.Net via Yahoo has gotten hold of the trailer and poster for Disney's 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green' and boy does this look a doozy. I love Jen Garner but this looks too cheesy and silly for me.

A childless couple, unable to conceive, buries all their wishes for a baby in a box in their backyard. One day, they wake up to find that a child is born, but the child is not all that it appears.

Batpod Smashes IMAX Camera

As most know by now The Dark Knight Rises is filming in Pittsburgh and at the weekend a big stunt took place, with Catwoman driving the Batpod down the City Hall steps.

Well with these things there is often several takes, and TMZ have footage from one take where the stuntwoman crashes the Batpod straight into an IMAX camera, fortunately no one was hurt but the camera is probably a write-off.

Fanboys: You Need Anne Hathaway More Than She Needs You

Recently The Brothers Warner released the first look at Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in the upcoming "The Dark Knight Rises". The response wasn't overwhelmingly positive, but it wasn't completely negative. Just a shrug and everybody moved on.

To me that isn't what you want to hear when releasing a picture of the sassy Anne Hathaway wearing a tight leather like suit. Me personally, I don't love the suit, but it's one picture. Sort of like saying you hate the new Superman suit based of that one shot of Henry Cavill.

Either way Anne Hathaway has something to tell you via Music Television:

"I was not going to admit it: I asked someone to send me a few reactions [to the photo]... and I happen to know that MTV's reaction was 'meh.'"

"What I am happy to say is, if you didn't like the photo, you only see about a 10th of what that suit can do. And if you did like the photo, you have excellent taste."

"The Adventures Of Tintin" Poster

Combining the stories of The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham’s Treasure, the film depicts Tintin’s (Jamie Bell) first encounter with Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) and the discovery of a clue to the treasure of his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock. They set out to find it with protection from a prison escapee who tried to get the treasure as well as Detectives Thompson and Thomson (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost).

Dirty Dancing Gets an Utterly Unnecessary Remake

Oh, what the hell?  Can't someone put a stop to this?!

Lionsgate confirmed that Hollywood has officially run out of ideas by announcing today that they will be remaking the 1987 classic Dirty Dancing, according to Deadline.  Kenny Ortega, a talented director and choreographer who should goddamn know better, has signed on to direct.  Ortega also choreographed the original film, and seems to have forgotten that it was fine the way it was and that it needs a remake just as much most movies need 3D.  Which is to say, we don't need a remake at all. 

Per Lionsgate's official press release:

"The new film is a celebration of one of the most beloved movies of all time. Paying tribute to the emotional excitement of first love, the thrills and complexity of sexual awakening, the soul stirring power of dance, and the classic tale of teenage Baby’s forbidden romance with Johnny Castle, the remake will incorporate classic songs from the 1960s, hits from the original film and brand new compositions."

So, in other words, this will be like the upcoming remake of Footloose:  the exact same movie with an updated soundtrack. 

Ugh, I hate this.  Dirty Dancing has been one of my favorite movies since I the first summer it was released.  The soundtrack was the first CD I ever owned - that same CD is on my iPod now.  My friends and I watched it a million times at slumber parties.  It's not like it's dated.  It may have been released in the 1980s, but it took place in the 1960s.  It's still a great little movie, and it most definitely does not need a useless remake.  But we're still getting one.  Whatever.

One last rant about this:  do they really think any of these "triple threats" they're looking to cast could possibly replace the late, great Patrick Swayze?  I think not.  But good luck with that, Lionsgate. 

You Can Expect Marvel Movies in Summer 2014 - Just Don't Ask Us What They Are

Strange as it is to think, there will be films coming out of Marvel Studios after The Avengers next May. What with all that Avengers being shoved down your throat since 2008 it's understandable to think that's where it all ends. I mean where do you go after all that build-up, hype, wasting time in Iron Man 2 and Captain America, etc.

Beyond the Iron Man and Thor sequels for 2013, the House of Ideas, through their master the Mouse, today announced release dates for their summer 2014 lineup. One for May 16 (two weeks following Sony's Amazing Spider-Man sequel) and another for June 27 in addition to a new Pixar feature for May 30.

So...what are the Marvel and Pixar films? Damned if we know. No one's talking. On purpose. Why not go ahead and say what the films are if you're not trying to grab attention and have everyone speculating? Mission accomplished, Disney/Marvel because that's exactly what they're doing.

New Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Promo Photo

Yahoo! has gotten hold of a new promo image from Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, and I'd say it is an photgraph shot specifically for promotion, not a shot from the actual movie, but it's pretty badass and looks to be from the early part of the movie after Ethan Hunt escapes when the shit hits the fan, and is off the radar in Russia.

Eliza Dushku Brings It On "White Collar"

I'm not sure why I am obsessed with the career of the more than capable actress Eliza Dushku but fuck am I ever. When I heard she was going to make a guest appearance on this past weeks episode of "White Collar" I was all in.

Although she didn't get involved on the action front like she usually does, she certainly brought the noise with her looks. She gave a rather sultry performance as a temptress and the chemistry between her character and Neal might have steamed up my glasses if I actually wore any.

Not sure if her character will return but sure hope she does.

Anne Hathaway Goes From Black To White On "The Dark Knight Rises" Set

After an underwhelming look at Anne Hathaway as Catwoman on the set from "The Dark Knight Rises" along with her stunt woman, the lovely actress was spotted by The Daily Mail as Catwoman's alternate ego Selina Kyle on set.

McConaughey, Witherspoon & Sheridan Unite For "Mud"

Matthew McConaughey (The Lincoln Lawyer, A Time to Kill), Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line), and Tye Sheridan (The Tree of Life, “One Tree Hill”) are in discussions to star in MUD, which is based on an original screenplay by Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter), who will also direct.  Everest Entertainment is fully financing with Lisa Maria Falcone from Everest producing alongside Sarah Green (Untitled Terrence Malick Project, Take Shelter, The Tree of Life, Frida) and FilmNation Entertainment’s Aaron Ryder. Glen Basner from FilmNation is executive producing. FilmNation will be handling international sales, with CAA and FilmNation to handle U.S. sales.

FilmNation also handled international sales on Jeff Nichols’ acclaimed feature Take Shelter, which stars Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain. Take Shelter won Critic’s Week at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.

MUD is the powerful, redemptive tale of a charismatic fugitive named Mud (Matthew McConaughey) and his unlikely friendship with fourteen year old Ellis (Tye Sheridan). Ellis is determined to help his new friend escape from both the law and some very serious bounty hunters, in order to reunite Mud with his soul mate, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon).

“Jeff Nichols has written a beautiful story with rich characters learning valuable lessons through life-changing circumstances.  With Jeff’s vision, this will be a work of art,” says Lisa Maria Falcone, founder of Everest Entertainment.  “It’s an incredible script which Jeff, along with Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon and Tye Sheridan, will bring to life.  We’ve been privileged to work with incredible filmmakers like Danny Boyle, Tom McCarthy and Rodrigo Garcia and are thankful to add Jeff Nichols to that list.”

“I knew the moment I read MUD that I wanted to make this film. Jeff is a rare talent and this exciting, heartfelt story is impossible to resist,” said Producer Sarah Green. “It's thrilling to me that actors of this caliber are drawn to the material; it's a testament to the strength and appeal of MUD. I am also delighted to be joining forces once again with my friends at FilmNation, and with the amazing team at Everest.”
“Jeff wrote a visceral story full of compassion, innocence and memorable journeys,” said FilmNation’s head of production Aaron Ryder.  “We are thrilled to partner once again with Jeff and add new talent to the FilmNation roster.”

Everest Entertainment’s credits include Danny Boyle’s 127 Hours, nominated for six Academy Awards©, and the acclaimed Tom McCarthy film Win Win, starring Paul Giamatti.  FilmNation recently completed House at the End of the Street starring Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men First Class) and The Raven starring John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe.
