The Vampire's Assistant - Trailer

Patrick Fugit (Wristcutters, Almost Famous) is in this... he plays "Evra the Snake Boy"... that pretty much is enough to get me to watch this... not in the theater mind you, but defiantly "renting"...

Steven Spielberg to Produce the Halo Movie

Looks like FSR has found out that Steven Spielberg is "in active negotiations to acquire the Halo film for Dreamworks" This of course kills that rumors that the movie had been scrapped... Although, the question still stands "Do we want to see Halo: The Movie???"

The reason Halo was so popular is b/c it was the game that brought FPS' to the console market... Not to say it was the first FPS on a console, but it was the first to have good controls... All other FPS' up until Halo were a struggle to play, and all FPS' since have copied Halo in some way...

This of course doesn't mean it deserves a move, but when we live in a time when any franchise can be immortalized in film (i.e. Asteroids) why the hell not use Halo...

Castlevania AND Dead Space get Directors

Well it looks like we're getting more video game to film adaptions... I know I know, you're surprised and excited all at the same time.... These adaptations have rarely gone wrong in trying to recapture the magic of the game play...

So here you go, the names:

Castlevania - Konami signed James Wan (Saw) to direct...

Dead Space - EA & Temple Hill Entertainment signed DJ Caruso (Eagle Eye) to direct...



Thanks to:
FSR for the Castlevania news
/Film for the Dead Space news

Alice in Wonderland - Teaser Trailer

This copy isn't the best, but it's all we have at the moment folks...

It looks like classic Tim Burton, and is exactly what we expected... I'll discuss amongst yourselves...

Thanks to FSR for the video...


EDIT: Cinema Blends trailer went down, but thanks to FSR we're back up and running

Sherlock Holmes - Trailer #2

Every since I was a young lad (that's right, I said "lad") I would read the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle... Most notably would be his Sherlock Holmes series (and others, including "The Lost World" where dinosaurs are found in South America) of which I am fully confident that Guy Richie is about to destroy...

Well, maybe "destroy" is to harsh of a word... I'm sure my memory of the stories have been muddled over the years, but I don't remember everything been painted w/ the "Michael Bay Paintbrush" (now only $24,999.00... Guaranteed to add to the box office gross, regardless of the films quality)...

I always had a great respect for Holmes, w/ his vast knowledge and ability to deduct conclusions from any given scenario... and now, we'll have to wait and see...

One the other hand, I guess corsets and explosions aren't all bad... and I can always go back and re-read the books...

Thanks to FSR for the heads up...

The Cove - A Shocking Documentary

I know, I usually post nice happy things that keep you all smiling... but sometimes, just sometimes, their is something that jumps out of the shadows and smacks me in the face... That *smack* to the face wakes me up, and I realize that I have to share this w/ the rest of you, no matter how upsetting it is...

* wow, I hyped that up pretty good *
/pats self on back/

This is one of those documentaries... Now it's quite obvious that the government is killing dolphins, but I still want to see what else this film has to say... and really, who doesn't like some really world stealth action (nobody, that's who)...

Their is more being said over at FSR, go check it out...

Natalie Portman Joins Thor

According to the awesome people over at FSR, it looks like Miss Natalie Portman will be joining the cast of Thor... I've never been a big Marvel fan, and Thor defiently wounldn't have been one of the characters I would have read about... So any inclination to see this film was low, until now...

District 9 - New Trailer

While staying in Toronto for this past mth, I came across allot advertisements for District 9. Most of which were posters denoting that bus stops are for "Humans Only"... This all peaked my interest for the film, and now this new trailer has push me over the edge (that's the "edge" of the "peak" that the posters put me on, and so then I'm falling for this movie (oh great, now it sounds like I'm in love w/ it... bah *shakes head in disbelief* )...)...

It's a pretty safe bet that I'll be at the theater this August 14th...

Thanks to FSR for the heads up...

9 - International Trailer

I'm such a sucker for this film... Hell I'm breaking my own rules by watching everything I can about it (usually I'll watch the first teaser/trailer of a film and if I like it, I'll ignore the rest... as to not ruin the experience)

Here is the new International trailer for 9... It's in English w/ French subtitles, and at the end they refer to it as "Number 9"...

Thanks to FSR for the update...

ps, I want a ARA for 9...

The Invention of Lying - Trailer

And from another of my favorite English comedians (Ricky Gervais) comes the fist trailer for his latest film, The Invention of Lying... Thanks FSR... The concept is simple, what if their was no suching thing as lying... Everyone told the truth all the time... and then what if a man discovers that he can lie... Enter Mr. Gervais...

It seems like a light comedy, but as long as Gervais has had a hand in the writing it'll be good...

Tim Burton + Alice in Wonderland = Exactly What You Expect

image by kimberjones_photo


Thanks to FSR for summing up my thoughts on the first images to Tim Burton's "Alice In Wonderland"... Everything we see here is exactly what we expect from Bruton...

Is that a bad thing??? No...

Will I go see this film??? Yes...

Will he do all he can to make HIS film and disregard the source material at will(like he did w/ Batman)??? Probably...

Will fans of all the Alice stories (including the spin off "Looking Glass Wars") have anything to look forward too??? I hope so...
