That alone has gained my interest but am I really ready for it?

'The Mechanic' Trailer

Even though Jason Statham is being typecast, his movies still entertain me.

Plot:
A reinvention of the 1972 Charles Bronson action classic "The Mechanic." In the film, Foster will play Steve McKenna, the young man who becomes an apprentice to a hitman played by Jason Statham. Sutherland will play the role of Foster's father and Statham's handler.

'Predators' Trailer

IT BETTER BE RATED R!!!!! Rumor has it that it's going to be pg-13.

Plot:
A bold new chapter in the Predator universe, "Predators" was shot on location under Rodriguez's creative auspices at the filmmaker's Austin-based Troublemaker Studios, and is directed by Nimród Antal. The film stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet... as prey. With the exception of a disgraced physician, they are all cold-blooded killers – mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members – human "predators" that are now being systemically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators.

'Transformers 3' Update

HELL YEAH!

Hey, it's been a long time since I've posted. Just been a little busy.

Transformers 3 has been going very well. We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China. On the talent front, we just locked in Frances McDormand and John Malkovich. Both amazing actors I've always wanted to work with. We also just got Ken Jeong, he is the super funny actor stuck in the trunk from “Hangover” and the Doctor from “Knocked Up.”

We start shooting pre-shoots in about one month.

I also was at a Ferrari charity event this week raising money for a hospital being built by Ferrari in Haiti. I announced that night the newest Autobot to join Transformers: the Ferrari 458 Italia.

I also want to thank everyone on this site that donated to the Make -A-Wish charity. We raised $20,000 which I will personally be matching. This is a great charity where they make wishes come true for kids who are very ill. We have had many Kids from Make-A-Wish visit us on our Transformers sets and this time we will be posting video of their visits on Transformers 3.

'Scream 4' Sets Spring Release Date

Since Kevin Williamson is writing it, I may just check this out.

Source: ShockTillYouDrop

Dimension Films has given the green light to Scream 4, which will start shooting this spring for a release on April 15, 2011. The third installment of the franchise was released on February 4, 2000.

Wes Craven will direct and Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox Arquette will reprise their roles along with a group of younger actors.

"Scream has been such an integral part of Dimension's history, and I look forward to continuing the franchise," says Dimension Films chief Bob Weinstein, who is also co-chairman of The Weinstein Company.

Craven adds: "I am delighted to accept Bob Weinstein's offer to take the reins on a whole new chapter in Scream history. Working with Courteney, David and Neve was a blast ten years ago and I'm sure it will be again. And I can't wait to find the talent that will bring new blood to the screen as well. Kevin is right on his game with the new script - the characters and story crackle with energy and originality - to say nothing of some of the most hair-raising scares I've seen in a script since... well, since the original Scream series. Let me at it."

'Rec 2' U.S. Theatrical Plans

Would've loved to have seen this in the theater. Check out my review here.

Source: ShockTillYouDrop

Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza's horror sequel Rec 2 is opening in the U.S. on July 9. Magnolia Pictures has picked the film up for distribution with a limited theatrical release in mind (and a DVD debut to follow).

According to the Laemmle Theaters site, Rec 2 is going to play at the Sunset 5 in Los Angeles for only one week. No word yet on other cities.

Picking up minutes after the events in Rec (available on U.S. DVD from Sony), the sequel takes viewers back into a quarantined tenement where the residents have transformed into murderous maniacs.

'Men in Black 3' or 'The City That Sailed'?

Personally I would say neither, but if i had to choose one I'd go with Men in Black 3.

Source: Variety

Variety says Will Smith is looking at two possible options for his next project - Sony's Men in Black 3 and 20th Century Fox's The City That Sailed.

The first film in the "Men in Black" franchise earned $587.8 million worldwide in 1997, and the second took in $441.8 million in 2002.

Smith's production company Overbrook Films developed The City That Sailed and brought it to Fox.

The fantastical drama follows a New York City street magician whose daughter, because of family circumstances, lives in England. In exploring a lighthouse one day, the girl discovers a room with magic candles and wishes to be reunited with her father, causing the island of Manhattan to break away and drift across the Pond. Andrew Niccol wrote the script.

The Pros and Cons of: 'The Crazies'

PROS:

Apocalyptic Theme - So of course I'm gonna dig it.

Timothy Olyphant - I think he's a pretty decent actor and he portrays the small town sheriff role with precision.

Beats the Original - Yeah the original wasn't all that great to begin with but this one trumps it in spades.

Scares - Surprisingly, this movie has it's fair share of jump scenes. Completely caught me off guard.

Cons:

Not Crazy Enough - To me, I was expecting this movie to be very more brutal than what it was. I mean, when you advertise a scene of your movie where a psycho with a shotgun walks onto a baseball diamond you better have the cojones to back it up. It doesn't.

Lack of Gore - You can tell they cut the gore out. I mean when you are watching certain scenes you can see where they edited out the blood. I mean come on you bunch of sissies! It's a freakin' horror movie!

Pacing - Just when the movie gets going, it stops. Then when it gets going again, it stops. Process is repeated throughout the entire movie. It gets really annoying because you want it to be a non-stop thrill ride and at times it is, but those times are short.

Predictable - Too many parts were VERY predictable. The hero comes and saves the day at the nick of time, happens too often. I don't like knowing what's going to happen next. Especially when I've never seen the movie before.

BOTTOM LINE:
I liked The Crazies. Eventhough I was COMPLETELY disappointed by it's pussiness (is that a word?), it's still a very good, suspensful horror movie. Best to wait for the dvd. Let's hope it will be a Director's Cut.

Sneak Peak at Robert Rodriguez' 'Predators'

HOLY S**T!!!!!

'Iron Man 2' Trailer

People have been saying it looks like its going to lack substance unlike the first one. I disagree. I think it looks bad ass!

Plot:
Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster film based on the legendary Marvel Super Hero Iron Man, reuniting director Jon Favreau and Oscar® nominee Robert Downey Jr. In Iron Man 2, the world is aware that billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the armored Super Hero Iron Man. Under pressure from the government, the press and the public to share his technology with the military, Tony is unwilling to divulge the secrets behind the Iron Man armor because he fears the information will slip into the wrong hands. With Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James Rhodey Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, Tony forges new alliances and confronts powerful new forces.

'Survival of the Dead' Trailer

SMH! George Romero is a parody of himself. Land of the Dead was awful and this looks even worse. It's really hard to see how much of a joke Romero's vision and movies have become.

Plot:
Like its predecessors, "George A. Romero Survival of the Dead" takes place in a desperate, nightmarish world where the dead walk the earth, relentlessly attacking the living. It is the story of Plum Island – a beautiful refuge whose isolation allows two powerful families to maintain a semblance of order in the wake of the zombie holocaust. But as the inhabitants slowly die off, the two clans become sharply divided: the O'Flynns believe that the undead must be destroyed without exception, while the Muldoons insist that afflicted loved ones be kept "alive" until a cure is found. The result is an escalating showdown with echoes of a classic Western stand-off that erupts in brutality and violence.

"Tron Legacy" Teaser Trailer

Been waiting on this movie for years. Looks like it's going to be well worth the wait. Is it December yet???

Plot:

Tron Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the anticipated film hits 3D theaters and IMAX 3D on December 17.

Christopher Nolan on his Superman and Batman Plans

Very interesting. This guy can do no wrong at this point.

Source: LA Times

Geoff Boucher of L.A. Times' Hero Complex had a chance to visit Christopher Nolan in the editing suite for his upcoming sci-fi thriller Inception, and of course, he couldn't pass up an opportunity like that without asking about Nolan's plans for his Superman reboot and Batman.

There was a lot of excitement a few months back when Nolan's name was mentioned as the "godfather" of a Superman reboot at Warner Bros., and speaking on the decision for the first time, Nolan told Boucher that his involvement with the Superman franchise came about from them having reached an impasse on what to do with their third Batman film and David Goyer having an idea of what could be done with the Man of Steel:

"He basically told me, 'I have this thought about how you would approach Superman. I immediately got it, loved it and thought: That is a way of approaching the story I've never seen before that makes it incredibly exciting. I wanted to get Emma and I involved in shepherding the project right away and getting it to the studio and getting it going in an exciting way.

As mentioned previously, Nolan would act as a producer for another director, which has yet to be determined as they develop the script. From there, Nolan's involvement may be similar to Peter Jackson's on District 9 as he moves onto the third Batman film. He didn't have a lot more to say about the Superman reboot except that he did have an appreciation for what Singer tried to do in connecting his film to those of Richard Donner:

"A lot of people have approached Superman in a lot of different ways. I only know the way that has worked for us that's what I know how to do."

It's suggested that like his two Batman movies, the Superman story will take place in a world where Superman is the only superhero, so one probably can't expect this Superman to meet Christian Bale's Batman or either character to be involved with a future Justice League movie.

"Each serves to the internal logic of the story. They have nothing to do with each other," Nolan told them.

Eventually, the Nolans and Goyer got over the earlier impasse with a second Batman sequel, and things are certainly moving forward on that third movie. Nolan wouldn't confirm any of the dozens of internet rumors about who might play the villain but he did say:

"Without getting into specifics, the key thing that makes the third film a great possibility for us is that we want to finish our story, and in viewing it as the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story. We have a great ensemble, that's one of the attractions of doing another film, since we've been having a great time for years."

Harold and Kumar 3??

I'll wait for the dvd...

Source: Collider.com


Collider.com talked to John Cho on Thursday and got updates on A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, the third installment in the series.

Cho said the plan is to film the next "Harold & Kumar" movie this June for a possible holiday release this year still. They are currently figuring out who will direct the film, that is expected to include Neil Patrick Harris again. The film's storyline picks up a few years after Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.

James Cameron Has Become George Lucas

Cameron sacrificed integrity and has officially jumped the shark. It's funny though because he'll pull this crap but refuse to do another Alien or Terminator. What a freakin tool.

Source: USA Today

There's been talk about a 3D version of Titanic for a while, but now James Cameron has given USA Today an estimated release frame.

"We're targeting spring of 2012 for the release (of a 3D version of 'Titanic'), which is the 100 year anniversary of the sailing of the ship," Cameron said in an interview about 3D technology at theaters and in the home.

He added that Avatar may return to 3D theaters this fall with extra footage.

When asked about when we may see the 3D Blu-ray, Cameron said: "We're not officially announcing it right now but I'm hoping for fall. The wildcard is that we might be re-releasing the movie this fall. It's kind of gotten stomped out (in theaters) because of 'Alice in Wonderland.' The word we're getting back from exhibitors is we probably left a couple of hundred million dollars on the table as a result. The question is the appetite still going to be there after the summer glut of movies. We're going to assess that. We're talking about maybe adding in additional footage and doing something creative."

Avatar has grossed $2.6 billion in theaters worldwide so far.

R.I.P. Corey Haim

Source: LA Times

Former child actor Corey Haim died early Wednesday, likely the result of an accidental overdose involving prescription drugs, law enforcement sources told The Times.

The 38-year-old actor, who became a teenage heartthrob when he rose to fame in the 1980s for starring in a number of films including "Lucas,""License to Drive" and "The Lost Boys," which became a cult classic.

Haim was taken to Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank after being found unresponsive, reportedly by his mother whom he was staying with as she battled cancer. He was officially pronounced dead at 3 a.m. at the hospital.

An investigation is underway by the Los Angeles County coroner's office.

"It was an apparent overdose,'' Sgt. Frank Albarren of the Los Angeles Police Department's North Hollywood Station told reporters. "Unknown what type of medication."

Haim was known to have battled drug problems but over the past few years he had been trying to make a career comeback, starring in a sequel to "The Lost Boys" in 2008 and an A&E reality show, "The Two Coreys," with longtime friend and costar Corey Feldman. He also was slated to appear in a few films this year.


Very sad news. This guy made some classics. It's just sad to see the way he ended up. In the midst of it all, celebrate his body of work. For example...

Dream a Little Dream
Watchers
License to Drive
The Lost Boys
Lucas

'Zoolander 2' Is a Go

About time! Ben Stiller has been making duds lately. Nice to see him return to some REAL comedy.

Source: MTV

Last week, it was reported that Ben Stiller is working together with Tropic Thunder and Iron Man 2 writer Justin Theroux on a sequel to Zoolander at Paramount Pictures. Jonah Hill was said to be in negotiations to play the villain.

Speaking to MTV, Stiller confirmed sequel plans. "We are in the process of getting a script written. It's in the early stages, but it's gonna happen."

He added: "We have a new story idea that we feel excited about and we're going to try to go forward. The beginning of the movie is [set]... 10 years later, and Derek & Hansel are literally forgotten. Nobody even knows who they are, so they have to re-invent themselves."

Stiller said that Will Ferrell's Mugatu would be back, if the actor is up for it. "If Will says yes, he definitely has to be a part of it. To me, Mugatu is one of the classic screen villains of all time."

The Pros and Cons of: 'REC 2'

Pros:
The movie takes place right after the first one ends. In my book, that's how you do a TRUE sequel.

Action is non-stop. Where the first one took 30 minutes or so to get started, this one does right out of the gate.

The story gets deeper. We finally find out what's happening to the poor residents of that quarantined building and it ain't pretty.

The acting. Not sure if it was the budget or what but the acting seemed top notch. I don't speak a lick of Spanish and the actors had me convinced that I do.

The demons in the REC films are hands down the scariest in horror. Every time you see one pop up on the screen you want to jump out of your seat and run.

Cons:
Character development. For the first 30 minutes of the movie I had no idea who the hell was who. And rightfully so, because most ended up being fodder, but I still would've liked some emotional attachment to the characters so that when something does happen to them it hits me in the gut.

It might just be me, but the movie didn't make me jump like the first one did. The original had me scared to death where as this one just didn't scare the crap out of me like I wanted. Maybe it's because I knew what to expect. It still had it's effective moments.

BOTTOM LINE:
The REC series is arguably the best in recent horror. The original, in my opinion, is the scariest movie I've ever seen and even though it's not as frightening as the original...the sequel is still scarier than anything you'll see in theaters this year, guaranteed. SEE BOTH REC AND REC 2 ASAP!!!!!

'Salvage' Trailer

British horror is usually pretty good, and this one doesn't look like it'll disappoint.

Plot:
Described by the media as thrilling (Bizarre), scary and believable (Sci-Fi London), and a seriously shocking chiller for our times (Alan Jones, Frightfest), Salvage, the stunning debut feature from director Lawrence Gough, is a brand new British horror film that redefines the genre with a strong female heroine and a topical plot that positions the terror right on our doorstep.

Now this is the sequel to the indie slasher flick Malevolence. The movie straight rips off many elements from Halloween but it was still a scary and entertaining film. So I will be sure to check this one out.

Plot:
A sequel to 2004's indie slasher film that centers on the killer Graham Sutter and the kidnapping and systematic torture of his protégé Martin Bristol.

'Red Hill' Trailer

I live revenge flicks and even thought this movie looks like it could be a No Country for Old Men rip-off, I'm still checking it out.

But when news of a prison break in the city sends the local law enforcement officers into a panic, Shanes first day on duty quickly goes from bad to worse.

Enter Jimmy Conway, a convicted murderer serving life behind bars, he returns to the isolated outpost seeking revenge. Now caught in the middle of what quickly becomes a horrifying blood bath, Shane will be forced to take the law into his own hands if he is to survive. A tight action/thriller, Red Hill unfolds over the course of a single day. Told with explosive action and chilling violence, the story is a modern day western set in high-country Australia.

'Higanjima' Trailer

Keep in mind it's a Japanese movie. The trailer isn't even in english, but after looking at it, I can't wait for a subtitled version.

Plot:
Two years after losing contact, Akira discovers that his long-lost brother may be found on Higanjima Island. He may also find on Higanjima an army of blood-sucking vampires.

'Red, White, and Blue' Trailer
