What a clever idea. You see the Princess Bride. You hear trailer clips from Jack the Giant Slayer. The fact that they fit so well is, in part, thanks to André the Giant being so awesome in Princess Bride. This piece of video stitching was done by Lance Ford who put together the The Hobbit […]
UK trailer for Iron Man 3 is impressive
The UK trailer for Iron Man 3 gives a good idea of what the film will be like. We knew it would be a 70s style political thriller hiding in the skin of a superhero movie (at least according to Marvel) and that’s what this trailer seems to show. Hence the politics, the drama and […]
Fan film: Wonder Woman versus Nazis
The official name of this video is “Female Super Hero Fan Film” and the character is called “Diana” or “some sort of super woman” in the script. However, the outro credits clearly show the Wonder Woman symbol and mention Wonder Woman. I wonder whether they were asked to tone it down. The team might have […]
Zombies, cowboys and Wesley Snipes’ Gallowwalkers
Gallowwalkers was filmed a few years back by Andrew Goth but nothing happened with it. Now, a bit like a zombie, it may be back from the dead with a release date of this year. Staring Wesley Snipes, Tanit Phoenix, Riley Smith, Kevin Howarth and Patrick Bergin, the story follows a man with a small […]
David Bowie’s son to direct $100m World of Warcraft movie
Duncan Jones will make a $100m plus World of Warcraft movie for Blizzard. Jones’ first movie, Moon, cost $5m and was very good. His second was Source Code, which featured Jack Gyllenhaal and cost $32, which met with mixed reactions. Warcraft’s 10 million subscribers mean Jones’ budget is about $10 per player. The Warcraft Facebook […]
LARP movie: Knights of Badassdom first official trailer
LARPers accidently summon a succubus. I really hope this is a laugh with the LARPers rather than laugh at the LARPers movie. Okay, sure, given it’s style I think we’ll be laughing at some of the quirky characters.. but, gosh, let’s see how this one plays out. Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones, […]
Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons trailer
This movie looks bonkers. I don’t know whether it’s going to be my cup or tea or not. Journey to the West is a Stephen Chow film. He made Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer. I’ve seen the former and it was really good. I recognise Monkey, Pigsy and that fish monster could be Sandy. […]
Marvel’s phase 3: Ant-Man and Doctor Strange
Josh Wigler of MTV News has an important interview with Kevin Feige, President of Production at Marvel Studios that touches on Phase 3. Just to re-cap, the series of films that include Iron Man 1, Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Thor and The Avengers have become known as Phase 1. Marvel are […]
First official picture from Kick-Ass 2
Entertainment Week has got the first official photograph from Kick-Ass 2. It shows Jim Carrey as Colonel Stars and Stripes standing with Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Kiss-Ass. Kick-Ass’s successes inspire a new wave of masked crusaders, that Colonel Stars and Stripes leads, until Red Mist (know The Mother Fuck3r) starts to hunt them down. Who can […]
Is there a Heroes for Hire movie coming?
Marvel is doing well at the cinema. I think movies like Guardians of the Galaxy might represent diversification as attempt to attract new audiences. The sci-fi fanbase, for example, still isn’t one that the Marvel film efforts have reached. Are there other genres that Marvel might want to target? Martial arts? A slightly more gritty […]
