Robert Rodriguez’s Shorts Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/April 8, 2009 11:06 am EST Want to see the movie trailer for Robert Rodriguez’s new movie? Are you sure? Warner Bros has released the teaser trailer for Rodriguez’s PG-rated Kids film Shorts. I’m usually up for seeing anything Rodriguez does, even the Spy Kids movies, and especially if there is a commentary track on the DVD. He’s like the old movie magic magicians from my childhood....
Ron Howard’s Favorite Movies Of 2009 And David Wain’s Best So-So Movies Of The Decade By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 28, 2009 11:01 pm EST Over the past week we’ve been featuring top 10 lists from famous filmmakers and critics, listing their top films of the year and decade: John Waters, Quentin Tarantino, and Roger Ebert. Today we bring you two more additions: Ron Howard’s Favorite Movies of 2009 and Wet Hot American Summer/Role Models director David Wain’s Best So-So Movies of the Decade....
Speed Racer International Movie Trailer #3 By Peter Sciretta/April 13, 2008 12:44 pm EST Warner Bros has released a third International Speed Racer movie trailer which shows even more new footage, and even more of the two Asian characters Taejo and Mr. Musha, which makes me believe this might have been intended for Asian markers. Also the new trailer completely removes any mention of Speed’s family. I’ll admit, the first couple trailers didn’t impress me....
Teaser Trailer: Amenabar’s Agora Starring Rachel Weisz By Brendon Connelly/Feb. 22, 2009 4:23 am EST I’ve liked each and every film by Alejandro Amenabar more than I did the previous one – and even when you rewind right back to Tesis, his debut feature, I was already digging his work plenty. You know, then, that I’m beset with anticipation for his next picture, simply on this spurious basis of a perceived inertia....
The Buzz: Michael Moore’s Capitalism: A Love Story [Venice Film Festival] By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 6, 2009 9:41 am EST
The Incredible Hulk Revealed By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 16, 2007 5:07 pm EST SHH has posted the first full photo of The Incredible Hulk. Looks very much like the early test design that was shown at Comic Con 2007. Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk staring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, hits theaters on June 13th 2008. The Incredible Hulk Revealed By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 16, 2007 5:07 pm EST SHH has posted the first full photo of The Incredible Hulk....
The Last Airbender Movie Trailer #3 By Peter Sciretta/March 24, 2010 10:00 pm EST Paramount Pictures has released a new full length movie trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender. I was somewhat impressed by the original teaser trailer which accomplished everything in one continuous (yet stitched together) shot. The television spot which aired during the Super Bowl had me completely sold. To me the spot had all the power of the Lord of the Rings trilogy....
The Uninvited Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 3, 2008 1:45 am EST Dreamworks has released the trailer for The Uninvited, and American remake of Kim Jee-Woon’s 2003 Korean horror film Changhwa Hongryon. The American version tells the story of “modern-day teenage sisters Anna and Alex Rydell who return home from a mental hospital only to find their recovery unraveling because of a cruel stepmother, clueless or seemingly ignorant father and a lingering, scary ghost....
Trailer For Vertige Blends Cliffhanging With Surprises By Brendon Connelly/May 19, 2009 12:43 pm EST The trailer for Abel Ferry’s Vertige has appeared at online. You can also see it below the break. Judging from the first two thirds of the trailer, this is a picture very much in the mould of Renny Harlin’s Cliffhanger. There’s some suspenseful business up in the mountains and things don’t appear to be going too well....
VOTD: Mario Kart: The Movie By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 22, 2009 12:01 am EST Last month we posted Inglourious Plummers, an Inglourious Basterds movie trailer parody starring the stars of the Super Mario Bros. video game franchise. Today we bring you another movie trailer parody featuring the famous Italian brothers – Mario Kart: The Movie. With Hollywood now developing movies based on board game properties, is a Mario Kart movie far off?...
WALL-E Super Bowl Advertisment By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 3, 2008 7:09 pm EST I posted a short video clip of WALL-E’s encounters with a BuyNLarge Vaccume earlier today, without the knowledge that this short would be the focal point of Disney/Pixar’s WALL-E Super Bowl advertisement. I am reposting, because the Super Bowl spot saw the addition of Woody and Buzz Lightyear (from Pixar’s Toy Story) sitting on a couch watching WALL-E’s antics on the television....
Watch Part 1 And 2 Of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog By Peter Sciretta/July 16, 2008 10:43 pm EST The first two acts of Joss Whedon’s 36-minute three-part SCi-Fi internet musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog has hit the interwebs. Shouldn’t a sing-a-long have the words on screen with that annoying bouncing ball? But seriously, is the semantics of the title is my only complaint, then you know it’s good. Act 3 goes online on July 19th....
Watchmen Ending Changed? By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 19, 2008 10:51 pm EST Remember that Watchmen test screening I told you about last week? Well it happened, and buzz coming out of the screening has the Watchmen fan community throwing a hissy fit. Before you get nervous, know this – everyone says the film is awesome. However, the fans are upset over how Zack Snyder’s ending varies from that of the one in the graphic novel....
Confirmed: Transformers Unleashed On July 2nd At 8:00pm By Peter Sciretta/June 5, 2007 4:22 pm EST A couple days ago we told you that Transformers would now be opening on the evening of July 2nd in select theaters nationwide. We speculated that the screenings would most likely begin at 8:00pm like Disney’s Pirates 3. We were right. We told you we would update you when the information became available, and now we have....
Cool Stuff: A Look At Pixar And LucasFilm’s Renderfarms By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 25, 2010 4:00 pm EST Have you ever wondered how many computers it takes for Pixar to render their big screen 3d animated films or ILM to render giant transforming robotic aliens? I understand this area of filmmaking might not be interesting to everyone, but I find it fascinating. Besides being a huge film geek, I’m somewhat of a techie as well....
Cool Stuff: Rick Baker’s Real Life Popeye By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 31, 2009 5:00 am EST What would Popeye look like if he were a real life human? Probably nothing like Robin Williams… Six time Academy Award-winning special effects makeup artist Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London, Men in Black) apparently decided to sculpt a real-life version of the famous cartoon sailor man. However, I am unable to find the original source for the photo....
Cool Stuff: Toy Story 3 Crew T-Shirt By Peter Sciretta/June 2, 2008 3:09 am EST The tech production team crew t-shirt for Pixar’s Toy Story 3 featured a parody of the logo for Jurassic Park. Looks like the guys at Emeryville used the local fav’s Ape Do Good Printing for the job. I love how they replaced the scary T-Rex with the less-than-scary toy Rex from Toy Story. The back of the shirt reads “Something Has Survived....
CW’s The Graysons - A Pre-Batman Robin-Focused Television Series? By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 1, 2008 1:12 am EST Now that Smallville is clearly coming to an end (I, like many others, gave up on the show a couple years ago, well after I should have), the CW is trying to plan for the future. Smallville executive producers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson are teaming with McG to produce a pilot for The Graysons, based on pre-Batman days of Batman’s sidekick Robin....
Downey And Favreau May Reunite In Cowboys & Aliens By Russ Fischer/Sept. 1, 2009 1:59 pm EST Not aliens like these, but regular old aliens like these, sadly. The Cowboys & Aliens idea/script is one that has been around for years. It’s obvious, really. Take an old west picture and shove some aliens in it. Instant fun, and it’s got to be better than Wild, Wild West, right? Robert Downey, Jr....
Extraordinary Measures Trailer And Poster: Remember When Harrison Ford Made You Want To See His Movies? By Russ Fischer/Nov. 11, 2009 1:52 pm EST I do remember, but it takes some work. Earlier this week there was a poster debut for his new film Extraordinary Measures, which was notable for the image being extraordinarily forgettable. Now the trailer has hit for the Harrison Ford film, which co-stars Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell as a couple whose two kids are diagnosed with a terminal disease....
