There’s one word to accurately describe the four new banners that have just been released for The Dark Knight Rises. That word is “woah.” People certainly didn’t have that reaction for the latest poster, and though most fans liked the character posters more, these banners raise the stakes. They represent our best look yet at the massive scope and size of Christopher Nolan‘s latest. Bane and his army take center stage here leaving us to wonder, how can Batman possibly triumph? Check out the images below. Read More »

Things were going so well for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Fans were responding really well to the trailers, director Jon Chu was talking up how it’s the movie he really wanted to see as a G.I. Joe fan, the release date was approaching and everyone was excited.
Paramount has now decided to forgo that positive buzz and bump the film back nine months, from June 29 to March 29, so it can be converted to 3D. We weight the positives and negatives after the jump. Read More »
Monday’s reveal of what’s likely the final theatrical poster for The Dark Knight Rises was met with considerable venom. “This was done in 20 seconds” said Zach H in our comments. “This will be the next instagram feature. Instant-movie-posters,” wrote ThatEuropeanGuy and Bryan C simply said “How terribly uninspired.” The poster even inspired a truly hilarious GIF showing how the poster combines elements from The Dark Knight Rises teaser poster and The Dark Knight theatrical poster.
Hopefully everyone will be slightly more satisfied with these new character poster just released by Warner Bros. There are two different styles. One is simple, yet striking. The other is a little more muted and evocative. Will fans like these? Comment below to find out. Read More »
Briefly: Just in cast you can’t wait for the 120-minute showing of footage from The Amazing Spider-Man that will open on July 3, this Friday May 25 there will be a chance to see a new six-minute look at the film. The official Facebook page for Marc Webb‘s film announced today “See an exclusive 6-minute sneak peek of The Amazing Spider-Man when you experience Men In Black in IMAX 3D starting Thursday at Midnight!”
Will this be substantially different from the four-minute preview that hit the airwaves not long ago? That’s a question we can’t answer at this point. Is Men in Black III worth checking out in order to see six new minutes of Spider-Man? That depends on your interest in the aging franchise; I’m basically with Germain when it come to evaluating the movie. (If you like Michael Stuhlbarg from A Serious Man and Boardwalk Empire, then it might be a bit more worth it.) Since this six-minute clip seems designed to take advantage of IMAX and 3D, we might not get it online, but if the footage does show up we’ll pass it along as soon as possible.
When Barry Sonnenfeld‘s Men in Black 3 was in production, much was made of behind the scenes problems. Reports circulated that it began filming without a full script, production stopped for months on end and scenes were written on the day. No matter to what degree those reports were true or false, the final product definitely feels like a film searching for its identity in those same ways. It wobbles out of the start gate, almost drops out of the race, then finds its footing and finishes strong.
Leaps and bounds better than Men in Black II and featuring many of the traits that mad the 1997 original a hit, Men in Black III is better than you’re expecting but not as good as you’d hoped. Read More »
When MacGruber, the big-screen expansion of a few small MacGyver-parodying skits from SNL, was released in 2010, the film was considered a bomb. In short order, however, the film developed a passionate following, and the cult of MacGruber continues to grow from month to month.
Still, given how long it took to get the stars to align for a sequel to Anchorman — a much more popular film — it seems unlikely that we’ll ever see another MacGruber, no matter what director Jorma Taccone and star Will Forte might like, And yet they’re talking about it anyway. Taccone says the pair are planning a sequel, and tells ScreenCrush “It would be me, Will and John [Solomon] writing it again. Every time I hang out with Will, we talk about all our cool ideas for the sequel. We have the idea for it and we have a title, but I won’t tell you what it is.” As far as plot goes, Taccone would only reveal that there’s an inspiration from Die Hard, in that the film would take place at Christmas.
After the break Dante Basco, who played the Lost Boy Rufio in Steven Spielberg‘s Hook, says he’s part of the team developing a prequel explaining Rufio’s story. Read More »
