New Rocknrolla Trailer Plus Funniest Moments From Comic Con Presentation

New RocknRolla Trailer - Plus, Funniest Moments From Comic Con Presentation By Adam Quigley/July 25, 2008 9:33 am EST ROCKNROLLA A new trailer premiered at Comic Con today for RocknRolla, giving a more in-depth look at the characters and also allowing viewers to change their questions regarding the first trailer from: “Wait, what the hell is this movie about?” to: “Oh, OK, the movie’s about… No wait, seriously, what?” That’s not to say it doesn’t look fun though, as it appears to be taking all the elements we loved from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch and repackaging them again in a slick new format....

Rumor: Peter Jackson To Direct New Middle Earth Film, Linking The Hobbit To Rings? By Brendon Connelly/Aug. 18, 2009 1:15 pm EST Editor’s Note: I want to stress that for now, all of this, is only a rumor. I’d love to see it happen, but I doubt it’s actually true. The scattershot news blast of 3D-crazy blog Marketsaw today brings us some rip-roaring Hobbit gossip, and I can’t help but dream it’s all true, every last word of it (except for the bit I don’t quite ‘get’, but more on that later)....

Showtime Orders Two More Seasons Of Dexter

Showtime Orders Two More Seasons Of Dexter By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 21, 2008 2:48 pm EST Dexter is probably my favorite show on television right now (that might change when Lost and Battlestar return next year.

The film was being referred to as a cheap “Matrix rip-off”. Universal has now announced that they are moving back the release date from March 28th to June 27th 2008.

And The Oscar Goes to…Roger Corman! By Russ Fischer/Sept. 11, 2009 10:40 am EST Here’s a money-making idea if you’ve got an extra bit of time this weekend: print up a bunch of little gold stickers shaped like the Oscar statue, with text that reads: “From Academy Award Winning Filmmaker Roger Corman.” Then sell them to the distributors who are going to have to revamp the box art on literally hundreds of DVDs after the Academy bestows an honorary Oscar upon the prolific and influential producer....

Box Office: 10,000 BC Up 9% Saturday For A Revised $34.5M 3-Day By Steve Mason/March 9, 2008 2:39 am EST That opening weekend is about half of what last year’s 300 grabbed which is certainly a disappointment for Warner Bros. The scathing reviews and almost-certain bad word-of-mouth will make it almost impossible for 10,000 B.C. to develop “legs.” In fact, I expect the film to drop at least 60% next weekend....

Unfortunately this is pure hype machine stuff, but for those of you who consider writer/director Christopher Nolan the best thing going this will just reinforce the idea that Inception could be the movie of the year. And after seeing that awesome ‘folding city’ shot in the trailer, not to mention some of the other stuff the film is doing visually, it certainly could be the most ambitious movie of the summer....
