When's the new Batman movie out!? Films you're looking forward to (Trailers Too)

[Reply #400 on:]

The skits are pretty funny. I don't know about the prospects of a full length movie though.

[Reply #401 on:]

Did you just copy that from all the comments on the slashfilm article about it?

I don't know who or what that is.

Whenever MacGruber skits are on SNL, it's usually 3 per show and everyone dies in an explosion in each one. So translate that to film and he should die about 80 or 90 times in the movie. Sounds good to me.

You probably can't watch that 'cause you're Irish.

Huh, apparently Spider-man 4 has been scrapped by Sony Pictures, Sam Raimi and Toby Maguire are out and there'll be a reboot in 2012.

[Reply #414 on:]

This also appeared in the YAHOO! movie section. I think that since Maguire is 34 and had a very hard time with the physical side of Spidey 3, this was inevitable. I assume that Kirsten Dunst will be out too. No great loss.



But a prequel sounds lame-o.

[Reply #415 on:]

How the hell can you have a Spider-Man prequel? Do we get to watch Peter Parker get bullied and harassed for two hours?

[Reply #416 on:]

no silly, we see 2 hours of people making that spider that bit peter

[Reply #417 on:]

Peter Parker - The Toddler Years?

It is not a prequel!  It's a reboot!  They are doing the first film... again.  The entire cast and people left, so the production company went to some other guys, who had a better script than the original film.

No surprise here.

So if you know the first film, you will know the coming film.  Just new actors!  Woo!

Edit:

Hm, after reading the line on Wikipedia, I admit I too am getting nervous.

On January 11, 2010, simultaneous with the cancellation of Spider-Man 4, Sony announced that the franchise would be rebooted with a new director and new cast. The reboot film is scheduled to be released in summer 2012 and it will be about Peter Parker in High School. Sony also confirmed that James Vanderbilt will write the script for the reboot.

Though, I prefer the ambiguous description of 'Peter Parker in High School' on Wikipedia.  They cannot be serious about a prequel.  Unless they are just going to fuck with us in some way.

[Reply #419 on:]

Reboot, prequel, meh. Hollywood has run out of superheroes to exploit so they will start retelling .
That makes Batman, Superman, Hulk and the beat goes on.

Metropolis

The restored original version is going to be shown on the occasion of the 60th Berlinale, on February 12, 2010 at the Friedrichstadtpalast in Berlin, at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt as well as on TV on ARTE, 83 years after its premiere on January 10 1927, also in Berlin. Copies for theatrical display will be published by Transit Film, Munich. A DVD release is planned for December 2010.

hope i can find someone with a HD / DVD recorder to record it for me
can't wait till december

[Reply #421 on:]

They've chopped and restored this film so many times. I hope they find a definitive version and that will be that. Since there is no American copyright they can make as many versions as they care to.
Just to squeeze out more cash.

[Reply #422 on:]

Astroboy is about to be released here. Is it worth catching it in a cinema?

[Reply #423 on:]

No promotion,so it came and went with little notice. Mixed reviews. I would have seen it but it was like a dream within a dream.
Everyone in Oz seems to like it.

Pictures have been removed thanks to Fox.


I've already decided I won't be seeing Alice in Wonderland especially in 3d, I didn't like the 3d effect in the trailer when I saw Avatar.

JC said there's going to be Avatar 2 and it's a planned trilogy

I don't see how they can continue the story from the current movie, going by some footage I've seen of a deleted scene I can fore-see the sudden introduction of Avatar's if a 2nd and 3rd Avatar movie are made.

[Reply #427 on:]

actually they're considering going to some of the moons near-by as a setup

so maybe the other movies aren't really a continuing of the story directly, just of the universe

Woah! Jeez... I really didn't see that coming.
So no more amusing Bruce Campbell cameos, eh?

Well I was never fond of Tobey Maguire, stuck-up whiny goggle-eyed little prick that he is, but a reboot so soon?
Well... Maybe it'll be Iron Man level of awesome. Probably not though.
James Cameron for some reason felt compelled to deny involvement, calling it "sloppy seconds". Hah.

[Reply #429 on:]

This should give Bruce fans something to look forward too:

MacGruber redband trailer
It actually looks funny and that it'll make a good transition from SNL to film. And that links to Hulu, so I'm not sure if non-US'ers will be able to see it.

More on that Spidey thing:

A NEW WEBB FOR SPIDER-MAN™
Marc Webb Chosen To Direct Next Chapter of the Acclaimed Series
-Spider-Man to Climb into Theaters in Summer, 2012 -


CULVER CITY, Calif., January 19, 2010 – Marc Webb, the director of the Golden Globe nominated Best Picture (500) Days of Summer, will direct the next chapter in the Spider-Man franchise, set to hit theaters summer 2012, it was jointly announced today by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios.

Written by James Vanderbilt, Webb will work closely with producers Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin in developing the project, which will begin production later this year.

Commenting on the announcement, Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures, said, "At its core, Spider-Man is a small, intimate human story about an everyday teenager that takes place in an epic super-human world. The key for us as we sought a new director was to identify filmmakers who could give sharp focus to Peter Parker's life. We wanted someone who could capture the awe of being in Peter's shoes so the audience could experience his sense of discovery while giving real heart to the emotion, anxiety, and recklessness of that age and coupling all of that with the adrenaline of Spider-Man's adventure. We believe Marc Webb is the perfect choice to bring us on that journey."

Arad and Ziskin added jointly, "Over the years, the Spider-Man comics have been told with bold and creative new writers and artists who have re-calibrated the way audiences see Peter Parker. Marc Webb will do for the new direction of the films what so many visionary storytellers have done with the comic books. He is an incredibly talented filmmaker and we look forward to working closely with him on this new adventure."

Webb said, "This is a dream come true and I couldn't be more aware of the challenge, responsibility, or opportunity. Sam Raimi's virtuoso rendering of Spider-Man is a humbling precedent to follow and build upon. The first three films are beloved for good reason. But I think the Spider-Man mythology transcends not only generations but directors as well. I am signing on not to 'take over' from Sam. That would be impossible. Not to mention arrogant. I'm here because there's an opportunity for ideas, stories, and histories that will add a new dimension, canvas, and creative voice to Spider-Man."

Stan Lee, co-creator of Spider-Man, added, "I'm excited that Sony has chosen a director with a real penchant and understanding for the character. This is a brave, bold direction for the franchise, and I can't wait to see what Marc comes up with next."

Added Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, "The idea of re-imagining the on-screen story for one of the world's most iconic superheros is sure to deliver an exciting new dimension to Spider-Man fans everywhere. There are volumes of comics and material available to inspire fresh and compelling takes on Peter Parker and his journey as Spidey and we look forward to seeing this come alive onscreen."


Heh... "Webb".

[Reply #433 on:]

Movies have truly turned into comics. This is like when Daredevil was taken over by whoever wrote daredevil after Frank Miller

I especially liked how they showed every death in the trailer.  Not!

Did you just copy that from all the comments on the slashfilm article about it?

Again: Tucker & Dale vs Evil

Edit: Apparently there's an SNL skit called McGruber parodying McGuyver, and they're making a full length movie:


Is it any good? I'm not sure about that Will Forte guy...

Will Forte is the second most underrated SNL guy right now (most underrated? Kenan Thompson)

I saw a trailer for Clash of the Titans the other day and was surprised at how much it reminded me of a movie I saw back in the 80's called… "Clash of the Titans". Amazing, huh?

To make matters worse the next trailer to come on also looked like Clash of the Titans only this time set in the present day: Harry Potter Percy Jackson and the Half-blood Prince Lightning Thief.

[Reply #436 on:]

Concept art to Duncan Jone's "Mute", the sequel to "Moon". It won't be in the Alien/2001-esque vein that Moon was in, but more of a Blade Runner noir tone. Another story about Mute from i09.

Orange and blue go really well together - they're complimentary colours. More posters should be blue and orange (and they should all use Trajan too)
