The Spirit Trailer C

Another Superhero movie is coming. The third trailer for The Spirit which starts out the same as Trailer B and then goes into different scenes at about 30 seconds.

Adapted from Will Eisner's legendary comic strip, The Spirit, an action-adventure-romance, is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the Spirit (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) has a different mission: he's going to devastate the Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality. The Spirit tracks this cold-hearted killer from Central City's rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront ... all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill the masked crusader.

Terminator Salvation New Picture

Things are moving full speed ahead with Terminator Salvation and its promotion. The movie won’t hit until May 22nd, 2009, but this week we had two trailers that have made me quite excited to see this new Terminator movie.

Coming Soon also had some information from a set visit that took place over the summer. These are just some of the details. You can read more here .

- We visited several of the studio sets as well as a couple of the locations in Albuquerque that doubled for post-Judgment Day L.A. The personal highlight of the trip for me was watching a large vehicle bust through a wall and roll over human skulls as a T-600 patrolled nearby. Against this backdrop were some of the biggest explosions I’ve ever seen on a set while doing a visit.

- Director McG was very energetic, very open, and a lot of fun to talk to. He was so eager to chat with us that the crew started getting annoyed that we were distracting him from shooting. McG knows he has a lot to prove and he’s doing his best to make a good “Terminator” film. Based on what I saw, he’s on the right track.

I’ve watched all three films and I watch the television series as well. I really can’t wait for the new film. The Los Angeles Time released this new picture from the movie on Wednesday, and we see Christian Bale in his role of John Connor with some cool looking robots. Check out the picture below.

Kung Fu Panda DVD review

Dreamworks did something different with the release of Kung Fu Panda earlier this month. They released the DVD on a Sunday with a big bash in Hollywood where Angelina Jolie even came out to play with the big panda.


Kung Fu Panda tells the story of Po the Panda, played here by Jack Black, who dreams of one day becoming a Kung Fu master. His father wants him to become another noodle man, but Po doesn’t want any part of that. When he lands in the middle of a special ceremony searching for the great dragon warrior, those making the choice pick him as the dragon warrior.

This shocks everyone, including the five that thought one of them would be chosen. Their master doesn’t think Po will be able to do it. He plans make it hard on Po, so that he will quit and a true dragon warrior can be found. However, Po shocks them all once again by staying and completing each task put forth to him. It is only when he accepts himself as who he is can he become a true dragon warrior who must battle a former student of his master that has gone down a dark path. With humor and fun, he succeeds, and he becomes a master in his own right. His dream has come true.

Kung Fu Panda was released on DVD on November 9th in a special package with a new adventure of Po’s, The Secrets of the Furious Five. In this short cartoon film, he must teach the new bunnies all about Kung Fu and how it is about more than just fighting. The DVD’s come together, and there are bonus features on both. This DVD set is a perfect addition to any family’s collection. A good story told with humor and a lesson for children of all age’s. With the voices of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars including Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie and Jack Black, this movie even has something for parents to enjoy. The DVD is in stores now.

Terminator Salvation Concept Art

New concept art released from the movie Terminator Salvation.

Things have been fairly quiet on the news front for the next Terminator film due out this summer. McG has wrapped up filming, and the movie is in production right now. Yesterday, a new picture was released to fans, a piece of artwork that gives an idea of what we can expect from a post apocalyptic Los Angeles.

If you look closely at the picture below, you will see a shattered and destroyed Capital Records building - a landmark in the city of Los Angeles. Here it rests in two pieces. The art work looks awesome, and I really can’t wait to see more from this movie. Terminator Salvation is set for release on May 22. Check out the piece of art below. What do you think?

Could There Be A ‘Lost’ Movie?

For four seasons now, millions of “Lost” fans have tuned in each week to follow the mysterious, deeply complex adventures of Jack, Kate, John, Sawyer, Hurley and rest of the Island’s ever-growing population.

But with only two seasons left in what’s arguably the most successful episodic series on television, producers are already looking towards the future…and that could potentially mean a trip to Hollywood for the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815.

Speaking with MTV News, “Lost” co-creator and executive producer J.J. Abrams said that while he still believes a theatrical leap is doubtful, he’s now less against the idea than in the past. And that’s mostly because there’s now a firm end-point for the series: May 2010.

“The one thing that makes you think maybe there could be [a movie],” stated Abrams, “is that ABC agreed to end the series after six years. Which is a gift, because you know you won’t have years seven and eight where you’re thinking ‘they should’ve ended at year six,’ and you know how to pace yourself so that you know how to end the series.”

With the clock now ticking towards the show’s completion, the “Star Trek” helmer is slowly growing intrigued in the idea of continuing the story.

“The only reason why I think maybe there would be a movie,” he explained, “is that by doing that — which is hopefully the right way to go and that’s it — you do have that sense of, well, it didn’t go on any longer and therefore is there something else that you could do? So there’s a chance, but my gut is it would never happen.”

(Click here to watch our entire interview with J.J. Abrams, where the filmmaker talks “Star Trek,” William Shatner’s supposed cameo and much more on “Lost”)

Would you root for seeing the “Lost” crew on the big-screen? Or do you feel they should stay on the small screen? Let us know your thoughts below.

Paul W.S. Anderson Writing Resident Evil 4 Script

Do we really need another Resident Evil sequel? Paul W.S. Anderson thinks so. Of course, he isn’t known for his good ideas, or filmmaking skills, or… well, all he he’s really known for is having made some really shitty genre films.

The director tells the Sunday Sun that he’s writing “an adaptation of the Long Good Friday right now, set in present-day Miami. Then I will probably write Resident Evil 4.”

It was reported a while back that he was in talks to make another film, but this looks like the first confirmation that he’s going to give it a go. Hey, at least he’s not trying to direct a new Beverly Hills Cop or remake Conan. The Resident Evil franchise is like a little doggy cage, keeping him busy while also keeping hims from finding new projects to ruin.

New Watchmen Posters

We have six new Watchmen character poster hitting the Internet on various websites. This movie is going into hyperdrive. Some are saying this is because the second trailer for the movie is heading into theaters this weekend in front of Quantum of Solace.

Bond is also hosting the first true Star Trek trailer. We’ve had a teaser up to this point. The trailers for both films hit this weekend though, so it is a big weekend for a movies. You can check out the six posters from Watchmen below. The movie hits theaters March 6.

Shazam: A big Comic Book Movie

It was Voltaire who once said that if God didn’t exist, it would be necessary to invent him. It was screenwriter John August who said the same thing about Captain Marvel.

“If Captain Marvel didn’t pre-exist and there was just an idea of a 13-year-old boy who can speak a magic word and turn into a superhero — that’s a great idea,” the writer declared on the eve of turning in his completed draft for “Shazam.” “If it hadn’t been around for 50 years and someone just wrote it as a spec script, that would sell cause it’s a really good idea.”

It’s an idea whose time has come. A comic book film which centers on an unlikely hero, “Shazam” is “very different” from all “the other flying people in tights movies,” insisted August. “It’s not Spider-Man plus jokes. There’s really good comic potential there,” he asserted, revealing that his film — an origin story — owes as much to “Big” as it does to “Superman.”

“Yeah, I avoid saying that because that incenses certain people,” August laughed of the comparison. “But the people that are going to go see this movie opening weekend are going to be excited to see [action and comedy] together.”

And they’re going to see it very soon, August confessed. “I’m turning in ‘Shazaam’ tomorrow,” he said. “Literally, you’re keeping me from the keyboard!”

“I knew what I was getting into,” he continued. “In a sense, even with a character that doesn’t have the giant spotlight on him like Superman or Batman, there’s a tremendously loyal fanbase who have very clear expectations about what they think a Captain Marvel movie should be. What people tend to really forget is that I’m just pushing words around on paper and doing the best job I can. But it’s weird that there’s such a spotlight on a movie that’s just now 119 pages of 12-point Courier.”

The spotlight grows more penetrating: What do you make of a comic superhero? Sound off below.

Brad Pitt Going On A Sci-Fi Odyssey for Warner Bros.

Brad Pitt must have really liked going Greek for “Troy” because he’s now interested in tackling Homer’s other great epic, “The Odyssey”.

According to Variety, he’s teaming with director George Miller and Warner Bros. to bring the epic poem to outer space, with Pitt playing the title role of Odysseus in a re-imagining of the classic fable.

If you escaped high school and college without reading “The Odyssey,” here’s a refresher — it’s technically a sequel to “The Iliad,” dealing with the aftermath of the Trojan War. It’s centered around the return journey of Odysseus, the most clever of Greek soldiers and the builder of the famous Trojan horse. All he wants to do is get home to his wife and son, but he’s constantly waylaid by sexy sea-nymphs, witches, cyclops, and monsters.

But don’t look for Pitt to adopt the enormous muscles and skimpy leather he wore in “Troy” (sorry, girls.) With Miller looking to transfer the story to a futuristic setting in outer space, it should be really interesting to see Pitt venture into sci-fi, a genre he flirted with in “Twelve Monkeys.

And “The Odyssey” is certainly a story that lends itself to revision — you probably remember the last time it was seen onscreen was in the Coen Brothers’ classic “O Brother, Where Art Thou” (and you have to laugh that Pitt will essentially be playing the same role as his good friend, George Clooney) .

So, what do you think, readers? Excited to see Brad Pitt play another swashbuckling hero? Curious to see him set in space? Or do the classical purists among you wish they’d stop revising, and set “The Odyssey” in ancient Greece again?

The Origin of The Spirit

Lionsgate has released a new featurette for Frank Miller’s big screen adaptation of Will Eisner’s The Spirit.

In “The Origin of The Spirit”, Frank Miller explains where the character came from, the historical significance of Will Eisner and how he became involved with the film adaptation.

Daniel Craig Turns Down Thor

The scoop lords over at IESB have let us in on some saucy news! It appears capitalist commander Sanchez has found out that Daniel Craig turned down the role of Thor!

IESB asked if Craig was interested in doing something a little different character-wise, like Thor? Craig said no, he turned it down and laughed about it.

Sanchez continued, "seriously, I heard the folks over at Marvel had you on a short list to be Thor."

Craig said yes they [Marvel] did approach him but he turned it down. He added jokingly, it would have been too much of a power trip, both Bond and Thor, and running around with long hair and a hammer.

May your laughter turn to locusts that eat for face Craig! The thunder god will not be scoffed!

I am glad Craig turned down Thor, I like him as an actor but I can’t see him in a winged helmet holding an Uru hammer. Brad Pitt on the other hand, is man that was born to wear a winged helmet. I just wish he was taller, but platform boots could save the day. Thor wore pretty magnificent boots and building them up would certainly work for both practical and aesthetic purposes.

Would any of you have like to see Craig as Thor? I like him as James Bond but am glad he passed on this one. If any of you disagree with me, I would love to hear your reasons why or even alternate casting choices.
