We are just about a month away from the release of James Cameron’s Avatar. This is the big movie a lot of people have been waiting for, including myself. James Cameron has been away from the big screen for awhile, but with this one he is coming back and what looks to be a big way. Just from what I’ve seen already it has the potential to be huge. We won’t know if that is the case until the movie actually comes out on December 18th. The movie stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana, among others.
A new poster for the movie hit the net just this week, and this one is coming to us from France. They will be able to see the movie a full two days before those of us in the United States. You can check out the poster below. What do you think? Are you ready for Avatar?
If there is one movie set to be released in 2010 that is causing a lot of buzz already, it is definitely Disney’s new Alice in Wonderland remake. The movie is set for a release date in March, and there is already a lot being said about it. Something tells me this is just the beginning. Johnny Depp stars in this one, and just earlier this week he was at a tribute for Tim Burton, who is also behind this new fantastic look at a storybook classic. Three new posters were released just this week, and the excitement is only building. Check those out below.
As for Rachel McAdams, those Spiderman 4 rumors were just that. The actress isn’t set to pick up the role of Black Cat in the new film. That one is set for release in 2011, so we have time before filming even starts.
Another Monday morning has arrived, and it is pretty much a given what movie managed to top the box office this weekend. 2012 has had people waiting for months now, and the wait finally ended. The next big disaster movie about the end of the world managed to push Disney’s A Christmas Carol out of the top slot by earning $65 million. Not a bad number there at all. Michael Jackson’s This is It only managed to come in fifth. This week is a big release week with another movie the fans have been waiting for. Twilight’s New Moon. Twilight fans have definitely been waiting for this one’s release, so there is no doubt in my mind it will hit the top of the box office this weekend. Planet 51 and The Blind Side will also hit theaters this week.
As far CD & DVD releases go, we have one of the big summer movies now hitting store shelves in Star Trek along with Bruno and My Sister’s Keeper, and with the holidays coming more television offerings are headed to stores including some repackaged favorites including The Sopranos and Rome from HBO. Music seems to be where the big names are at though with releases from John Mayer, Lady Gaga and One Republic all hitting this week. Check below for a full list of new releases.
As far as superheroes go, Spiderman ranks right up there with Superman and Batman. We all know when it comes right down to it. It has been a couple of years since the last Spiderman movie, but Sam Raimi has been working not on just one movie but two for the series. Late this week, we had an announcement of a potential villain for the movie. Looks like we could see Rachel McAdams come in to play Black Cat in the fourth installment of the series. Not a done deal yet, but it looks good. Her character sounds very much like another Cat Woman. A rip off almost. Check out her character description below. What do you think?
Insiders says Rachel is a top contender for the role of Felicia Hardy, also known as the black cat. In the story, Spider-Man first encounters the Black Cat when she’s looking to free her sick father from prison. She becomes smitten with Spidey, to the point of a stalker-level obsession.
Another Monday has arrived, and that means it is time to take a quick look at what happened at the box office this weekend. Disney’s all new version for A Christmas Carol starring Jim Carrey managed to top the list at the box office this weekend with $31 million coming in in ticket sales. Michael Jackson managed to stay in the second spot beating out the other new arrivals this weekend, THe Men Who Stare At Goats and The Fourth Kind. Those two came in third and fourth place respectively. The Box, the new one from Cameron Diaz, came in sixth place after Paranormal Activity.
This week, 2012 finally hits theaters. This is one I have been personally waiting for to come out. Another one of those end of the world type disaster movies that will end up scaring you about the fate of our own world, but you’ll still watch anyone. As far as DVD releases go, Up and The Ugly Truth both hit store shelves along with Dawson’s Creek in its complete series release. Music is where it is at this week though with a number of new releases including music from Bon Jovi, Tori Amos and others. Check below for a full list of this week’s releases. (more…)
With it now being November, the release date for James Cameron’s Avatar is only getting closer. December 18th is the day this film will mark Cameron’s return to the theater with an all new film. This one has been in the works for years, and it used only the state of the art technology. He had been wanting to make this movie for going on twelve years or more, but he needed to wait for the technology to catch up to him, and it most certainly has. Starring Sam Worthington and reuniting Cameron with Sigourney Weaver, Avatar looks ready to blow off the roof of film.
With each new trailer, I’m only more excited by this one, and I cannot wait for its release. Another new trailer for this one has hit this week, coming to us from Japan. and there is new footage to check out. Watch the trailer below. What do you think? Are you excited for this one?
This definitely sounds like a match made in heaven. Johnny Depp has just signed on to do a movie with Angelina Jolie. The Tourist was originally set for Sam Worthington and Charlize Theron, but Theron stepped out and Jolie stepped in. Tom Cruise was also in talks for this one at one point. Now it looks like Depp is set to join her. Something tells me these two on the big screen will be something amazing to see.
Just yesterday, I had the new trailer for you from Jolie’s next one, Salt. A few weeks ago, I had the Alice In Wonderland trailer for you from Depp. These two are two of the top actors in Hollywood at the moment. Both are excellent at what they do, and this movie sounds made for them.
Depp will play an American Tourist that gets taken in a by a woman working with Interpol. What do you think of this casting shake-up?
Angelina Jolie seems to know how to pick the action thriller movies. Even though after the birth of her twins, she said she was thinking of giving up acting, she went back to work on a new film a few months after their birth. That movie was Salt, and it was a role that was rewritten specifically for her after Tom Cruise backed out of the project.
The first trailer for the movie hit earlier this week, in Russian. Now the English release has hit the Internet. The movie follows an agent that ends up accused of being a Russian spy. The movie follows her chase.
From the looks of the trailer, it looks like Angelina has another possible winner here. Right now, she’s in LA spending time with her children while partner Brad Pitt is premiering his latest movie, Inglourious Basterds, in Tokyo.
Yes, this news was just released yesterday. The company that currently owns the rights to Terminator, Halcyon, is putting then up for sale. Right now, they are asking for $200,000 for the franchise. However, they have already one bite on the franchise. Joss Whedon, of Buffy fame, has already put in an opening bid of 10,000 dollars for the Terminator rights. This bid came in only moments after the auction was opened.
I have been a huge Terminator fan since the original came out. Four movies and a television series later, and it looks like the franchise might have killed its last human. Terminator Salvation came out back in May, and it did less than hoped. The R-Rated director’s cut of the movie hits DVD later this month.
What do you think? Do you have some extra money lying around to buy the rights to Terminator? The rights would give the owner the right to make more movies and television series based on the franchise? Do we really want more Terminator?
Another Monday has arrived, and that means it is time to look at what happened at the box office this weekend. There was only one major film released last week, and that was Michael Jackson’s This Is It. Numbers for the release weren’t as impressive as many thought they would be. This Is It did manage to claim the top spot for the weekend from Paranormal Activity, which managed to come out on top of the box office in its fifth week of release. Over the weekend, This Is It managed to bring in $21.3 million. Paranormal was a close second with $16.5 million.
While there was only one release last week, we have four movies headed into theaters this week. The ones that might be of interest are the new version of A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz’s The Box. Two others also come out this week, and before their promos starting hitting my television last week, I had no idea about The Fourh Kind or The Men Who Stare At Ghosts. That last one is a new one with George Clooney, and there seems to be a huge push for it with advertising right now.
As for other releases, on DVD we have G.I. Joe hitting store shelves along with The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 and I I Love You, Beth Cooper. Television fans will have the first season of The Clone Wars to pick up. As far as music goes, there are a large number of new releases on CD hitting store shelves including new music from Carrie Underwood, Weezer and Morrissey. Check out below for a full list of this week’s releases. (more…)
