Breaking Dawn Pt. 2 teaser poster surfaces

I personally don't give a fuck about Twilight but I know a lot of other people do. For those who do care, the first teaser poster for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 has surfaced and it looks like this...

 

The poster was displayed at this year's CinemaCon in Las Vegas and it looks almost identical to the teaser poster for Breaking Dawn Part 1. In other words, it looks like yet another bad Photoshop project. The main difference is the one for BD1 was like a sunset.

The Dark Knight Rises to have 60+ minutes of IMAX footage

The Wall Street Journal has reported that the upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, consists of over one hour of IMAX footage. By IMAX footage I mean scenes shot with the IMAX technology. 

This is exciting.

Official run-time for The Dark Knight Rises?

An Australian cinema website has posted a run-time for The Dark Knight Rises and they are pegging it at 2 hours and 40 minutes.

There have been rumors circulating around that the film will be 3 hours long, or somewhere in that ballpark, so seeing a 2:40 run-time doesn't really surprise me. If I remember correctly The Dark Knight was about 2 hours and 30 minutes so it's nothing unheard of, especially for a Christopher Nolan film. Inception was long, too. Either way I will be seeing this movie. I'll do what I did before The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and dehydrate myself 2-3 hours prior to going to the theater so I don't have to step out.

Michael Bay to buy Halloween franchise?

It appears that Michael Bay's company, Platinum Dunes, is most likely going to purchase the Halloween franchise. With this news means that Bay will most likely be making yet another horror reboot or whatever regarding Halloween's killer, Michael Myers. It appears that if it isn't a full on reboot it could be a continuation of Rob Zombie's 2007 reboot and its sequel, but knowing Bay he will give us yet another shitty reboot similar to A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Am I excited about this? Fuck no. I fucking hate Michael Bay.

Guy Pearce joins Iron Man 3 cast

Shortly after Ben Kingsley was announced to play the villain in Iron Man 3, we now know who will play Aldrich Killian; the geneticist responsible for the Extremis serum. It is none other than Guy Pearce!

I am personally a big fan of Pearce so this excites me. I can't wait for a third Iron Man movie. As long as it's better than Iron Man 2 I will sleep better.

Iron Man 3 is set to be released on May 3, 2013.

Francis Lawrence offered Catching Fire's director chair

Out of the contenders to direct Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games, it seems as though Lionsgate has chosen their director. This doesn't look like it's 100% confirmed just yet but it appears that I Am Legend and Water for Elephants director Francis Lawrence will direct Catching Fire.

I'm not upset about this. I was hoping for Cronenberg but this isn't a bad choice. I say bring it on.

04. Tires are terrifying

Sin City 2 cast announcements!

It has been announced that Mickey Rourke and Rosario Dawson will be returning for Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, the upcoming sequel to Sin City. Dawson will be reprising her role as Gale and Rourke will be reprising his role as Marv.
The confusion right now, for me, is whether Clive Owen will be returning to play Dwight. As the article states, the plot for A Dame to Kill For has Dwight as the protagonist but he has a different face. The question now is, bring back Clive Owen and cover him in make-up or use CGI or recast Dwight entirely? Recasting Dwight doesn't sit well with me but you never know. It might be the best thing.

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D coming this Halloween

The release date for Silent Hill: Revelation 3D has been set for 10/26/2012.

I am personally not excited about this. I hated the first Silent Hill and was pissed to hear more were being made. A big "no thanks" from me.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride movie being planned

Disney is planning a live action meets CGI film for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, based on the popular ride at Disneyland which opened in 1955. The ride is based on The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. This movie apparently already has Pete Candeland set to direct but no other announcements have been made. 

Let me start by saying that I love Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. It is my favorite ride in Fantasyland at Disneyland and is one of my favorite Disney rides overall, but is this really necessary? I don't know how many people have seen the cartoon version of Mr. Toad that Disney released in 1949, but it is fantastic. It is obviously an older animated film but it is seriously great. If you haven't seen it, the feature combines the stories of Mr. Toad from The Wind in the Willows and Ichabod Crane from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. It is on DVD and titled The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. I watch it at least once a year and have been doing so since I was a kid. Must they update and/or ruin everything? Damn son.
Disney has already announced the movie for the Sleeping Beauty villain, Maleficent, which will star Angelina Jolie in the title role, we have already had four Pirates of the Caribbean movies with a possible 5th at hand, and they are also planning a movie based off the Matterhorn Bobsleds ride that will focus on the Yeti. A movie based on an animatronic Yeti you see for about two seconds while you are on the Matterhorn Bobsleds? Fucking hell.

I love you Disney, but why?

More directors for Catching Fire added to the list of possibles

Two more directors have been added to the list of potentials for Catching Fire, the upcoming sequel to The Hunger Games. As I previously posted, the three directors who are already being considered are David Cronenberg, Alfonso Cuarón, and Alejandro González Iñárritu. Now we must add in Bennett Miller and Francis Lawrence. 


Miller:
Moneyball
Capote


Lawrence:
Water for Elephants 
I Am Legend
Constantine

They are really throwing out some good contenders for this movie, ffs. I liked both Moneyball and Capote, but I also really liked Water for Elephants. At this point I think I would be fine with any of the 5 contenders so far... but I am still kind of hoping for Cronenberg. =^D

The Dark Knight Rises to have a novel

Titan Books has announced they will release the corresponding book to The Dark Knight Rises the same day the movie is released on July 20th. The book is being written by Greg Cox who has written novels for Ghost Rider, Daredevil, and the Underworld movies. The exact plot points for both the movie and the book are being kept under wraps so we will have to still wait a while to find out, but July isn't too far off at this point.

Personally I think this is pretty badass. Batman books in general are awesome to read so I will definitely be picking this up. However, I will definitely be seeing the movie first. No doubt about it.

Julianne Moore in talks for Carrie reboot

It has been reported that Julianne Moore is in talks, and possible negotiations, to play Carrie's mother in the upcoming remake of Carrie. If you didn't know already, Chloe Moretz has been cast to play Carrie White. 

Honestly, this is a bit odd for me. I love Julianne Moore, don't get me wrong, but I don't know if I can quite picture her as Carrie's mother. I had heard rumors that both Sissy Spacek and Jodie Foster were being tossed around and that kind of excited me. I would have loved to see Sissy Spacek come back as the mother. Oh well. Moore hasn't been 100% confirmed yet so this still could change.

What do you think? Do you like the idea of Julianne Moore as Carrie's mother or not? If you don't, who would you want to see cast?
