It’s happening. Across the Web, early reviews for next weekend’s Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D are moderately apologetic and yet thoroughly positive, with a fair number of comparisons to the  “Spielbergian wonder of old” popping up in support. Like seductive ooze, it seems that Hollywood’s first live-action tent-pole in the forthcoming theatrical [...]

Last week we got the chance to sit down and talk with Beowulf star John Malkovich. You can read the round table interview below.
Question: Is that one of your own outfits that you’re wearing today? You’ve got a clothing line don’t you?
John Malkovich: I did.  I don’t anymore.
Q: I could never find it.
John [...]

Paramount has decided to release Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf a little bit earlier than expected. You will now be able to see a screening of the big screen adaptation of the classic epic fantasy poem in select digital and IMAX theaters on  Thursday, November 15th starting at 9:00pm. Check for a screening near you on Moviefone, [...]

FXRant has an interesting article about the many similarities between the Beowulf and 300 marketing campaigns.
Both trailers have the lead, bearded, warrior hero, in closeup, loudly proclaiming that “THIS! IS! SPARTA!”, or, “I! AM! BEOWULF!”
Each trailer has an anachronistic guitar-riff-filled montage of violence, wrapped up with our warrior hero proclaiming something about “TONIGHT…” · And, [...]

AintItCool ran the first supposed fan review of Beowulf earlier tonight. The review calls the new Robert Zemeckis mo-cap film a “fucking MASTERPIECE” and claims that “if it were a live-action film, it would have been nominated for Best Picture.” I just saw the film tonight at the Universal Citywalk press screening on Friday night, [...]

Devin over at CHUD has seen the trailer for the upcoming JJ Abrams-produced monster movie code-named Cloverfield/1-18-08. The trailer which runs 2 minutes and 16 seconds will debut in front of Beowulf and will feature the final title for the movie (we reported this earlier in the week). So what is the title?
Cloverfield
That’s right, the [...]

In the past, I have railed against the MPAA for their over-regulation of movie advertising, especially when it comes to red-band trailers (don’t get me started). I live in San Francisco, and am not conservative by any stretch of the imagination  But I really have to wonder how a billboard for the upcoming PG-13 rated [...]

What is the most anticipated movie scheduled for release in the next year?
The Dark Knight… nope.
Iron Man? Nah uh.
I Am Legend? Will Smith wishes.
The answer to the question and more after the jump.

I just got home from a screening of Transformers in IMAX (more on that later), where they premiered another new trailer for Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf. Aside from the 3D coolness, I really have no interest in seeing this flick. The animation or motion capture looks as the story, which I’m sad to say was a [...]

The exclusive R-Rated Beowulf trailer from Comic-Con 2007 has finally been released online. Yes, you get to see a digital motion/performance captured Angelina Jolie naked (kinda, she has some sort of mud on all the important spots). People are calling this the “Restricted” or “R-Rated” teaser trailer, but the film is to be rated PG-13, [...]

Note: This article was posted live from Comic Con during the panel. So please excuse us if we dont go into many details on some stories. I’m typing as fast and accurately as we can. :)
6,500 people have packed the big exhibition hall (which looks like a very large warehouse or airport hanger) for the [...]

Last night a movie theater full of film press packed a big digital theater in downtown San Diego to watch 20 minutes of Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf. Screenwriters Roger Avary and Neil Gaiman were on hand to field questions following the screening. The screening started late because the theater was at the end of a multi-level [...]

I just got back to our hotel from the big Beowulf footage premiere and party at Comic-Con 2007. One of the many things they showed us was this movie trailer, but in digital 3D. I’m interested in hearing what you guys think of this one because on the computer screen it looks a little flat [...]

I just arrived in San Diego this morning, and boy is this place beautiful. The airport was packed with comic book geeks. You couldn’t look in any one direction without seeing at-least one Star Wars, Grindhouse or a Sin City t-shirt. The city is prepared to be taken over by convention attendees.
When Comic Con began [...]

 
The Los Angeles Times has a first look at Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf. The article includes two brand spanking new images (seen above and to the right). Here is an interesting clipping from the newspaper’s feature:
His knack for a good scrap is on show in one of the film’s pivotal fight scenes when Beowulf battles Grendel [...]
