Briefly: Earlier this year, we reported James Horner would be scoring Gavin Hood‘s sci-fi adaptation, Ender’s Game. Turns out, that isn’t true. Steve Jablonsky, the composer behind the Transformers films as well as Pain & Gain, has the gig. The trailer for Ender’s Game is out now and it opens November 1. [Ender News via FS.net]
One of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood is that major movies use fake titles when they’re in production. The purpose of the misdirection is to throw the general public living and working around the shoot locations off the scent of a picture that might have huge fan interest.
Thirty years ago, Star Wars fans had no idea the Return of the Jedi was being filmed near them because it was called Blue Harvest. Even today the practice continues. People would riot if they knew Christopher Nolan was filming The Dark Knight Rises in their town, so the film goes by the name Magnus Rex. (Not that it takes long for people to realize what’s up.) Captain America: The Winter Soldier and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 are being referred to as Freezer Burn and London Calling respectively.
A Reddit user has made a gallery of movie posters using the film’s production titles and it’s quite funny. Check it out below. Read More »
The mystery of which other summer film Edgar Wright directed a shot in has been solved. Earlier this summer, the Scott Pilgrim director teased that he directed one shot in a summer film this year that wasn’t his own. On Thursday Wright, fresh off a brand new trailer for The World’s End, took to Twitter to reveal the film in question was indeed Star Trek Into Darkness.
Wright posted a photo from the J.J. Abrams set, which looks like it takes place on Kronos, the Klingon home planet, with an IMAX camera. In the film, Kirk, Spock and Uhura find more than they bargained for on Kronos, both in the locals and also the evil John Harrison. Check it out below. Read More »
Briefly: The biggest box office battle this summer is on Memorial Day, when The Hangover Part III battles Fast and Furious 6. (With Blue Sky’s Epic bringing up the rear.) Well, the Wolfpack has just fired the first shot across the bow, as it’ll now open on Thursday May 23 instead of May 24. That should give it a slight head start on winning the competitive weekend.
