I’ve been out of the zone for the past 28 hours and totally missed this bad boy for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End going online late last night…
Now this is a trailer! Bewarned though: some spoiler-ish stuff in this for those who haven’t seen Dead Man’s Chest yet (you know what I’m talking about if you have seen it). This thing feels positively epic. Mash down here to see it in three flavors of high-def Quicktime goodness!...
It could work, given the right script and director. An updated retelling of Escape from New York would potentially have more relevant commentary on the current state of things than the 1982 original was.
But I’m still going to keep a wary eye on this. The original Escape from New York may be horribly dated by today’s standards, but it’s still one of my favorite movies for so many reasons (not the least of which was the casting, the scenery and the soundtrack)....
It’s probably gonna be the biggest geek story of the week and Ain’t It Cool News is verifying it this morning: 1 minute and 52 seconds into this extended trailer for 300, the following image appears VERY briefly (this pic is from a cap I took and it took a bit to nail it down)…
After all these years of saying it couldn’t be done… and even that it shouldn’t be done…
I guess nothing is impossible: there really is going to be a Watchmen movie. There’s the proof staring right back at us: Rorschach. In the flesh. Looking exactly as he does in the graphic novel. Not only that but click-on this high-res still (which also came from Ain’t It Cool News)…
Rorschach is holding the Comedian’s blood-stained smiley-face button, just as he’s depicted doing in the first few pages of Watchmen.

Dear Lord, when it rains it pours…
This has been one crap-tacular weak on the pop culture front. First it’s Captain America getting killed off. Then we hear that a film version of Gump and Company (the loathsome sequel to the novel Forrest Gump) is in the works.
Now this: Eddie Murphy will star in a movie remake of Fantasy Island.
For those of you who may have only come of age in the 90s or this decade, Fantasy Island ran from 1978 until 1984 and was ABC’s original series about an island somewhere in the Pacific where weird stuff happened. In the case of Fantasy Island though, people willingly came to the place on “de plane! de plane!” and they ummmm… had their fantasies come true. Even as a little kid, I remember this show being odd as hell. It starred Ricardo “Co-reeen-thee-an leather” Montalban (yes Khan ...
Works has begun on a sequel to the 1994 movie Forrest Gump.
Presumably it’s going to be based on Gump and Company, Winston Groom’s sequel to his original novel Forrest Gump.
I’m probably one of the few who will actually admit to reading Gump and Company and let’s just say that… it wasn’t good. The most ridiculous part was when Forrest and Lieutenant Dan commandeer a tank during the Gulf War, drive all the way to Baghdad and capture Saddam Hussein. That comes after Forrest invents New Coke, steers the Exxon Valdez into the rocks and gets involved with the Jim and Tammy Bakker scandal.
Like I said: it wasn’t good....
Neatorama has a list of 9 laws of physics that are routinely ignored by producers of motion pictures. Among the conveniently forgotten concepts: bullets don’t spark when they hit metal, cars don’t usually explode and sound doesn’t move at the speed of light.
This article has inspired me to make all my future movies adhere to physical principles. Which will probably significantly drop the number of people who will want to watch them, but hey you gotta stick to principles…...
The Prestige is a movie that I really wanted to see when it came out but I was too wrapped up in my school board campaign to do so at the time. It’s just come out on DVD and it arrived at our place via Netflix a few days ago. So tonight Lisa and I put it in and checked it out…
Man, I can’t remember when was the last time I saw a movie that I just had to watch again. I’ll probably watch it at least two more times before it goes back into the mail.
The Prestige, directed by Christopher Nolan (from a script he co-wrote with his brother Jonathan based on a novel by Christopher Priest) is about the bitter rivalry between two magicians at the turn of the twentieth century. Alfred Borden (played by Christian Bale, who was also in Nolan’s Batman Begins...
