The guys who brought us Shrek and Kung Fu Panda (that would be Dreamworks Animation) have just brought out the teaser trailer for their latest fun adventure in the form of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’. The new movie will be in 3D and features the voices of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Jonah [...]
Given the buzz the micro budget Paranormal Activity has been generating it seems entirely logical that the decade old Blair Witch Project might manifest itself once again. The Toronto Star met up with one of the directors of the 1999 film which ushered in ten years of handheld/webcam based horror films, with Cloverfield and the [...]
This weekend the streets around the Excel Centre in East London were filled with geeks, gamers, movie-buffs and cos-players, as the MCM Expo once more rolled into town. It’s still a fairly intimate affair, but since its inception in 2002 the Expo has grown from a collectors’ show into a genuinely important, biannual event for [...]
Released with the latest trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar is this accompanying featurette, detailing the director’s vision for the film, from its initial inception to the character models of the Na’vi and there’s new footage. Cameron is clearly commanding this film like his own personal army and this video shows only part of the massively [...]
“I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars and you. What else do you need to know?“ Public Enemies is Michael Mann’s first venture into true-life territory since 1999′s The Insider. He has long been a master of slick fictionalised crime – his CV is a roll call of criminal capers and cops. The first [...]
From the creative mind of Oscar Winner Diablo Cody, who after her teenage comedy/drama Juno delivers her take on the horror genre staring Megan Fox as a demon possessed cheerleader man eater who terrorizes the small town of Devil’s Kettle and it’s down to her nerdy nervy best friend Needy to stop her (that’s fun [...]
The drive-in movie is an American institution, but it’s never really caught on in the UK. Consequently generations of Britons have been taunted by images of our American cousins enjoying films from the comfort of their own cars, while the closest we’ve been able to come to an approximation of the experience involves ram-raiding the [...]
To bring us out of Halloween I thought I would do a daring deed and take on Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger in a no holds bared face off (literally) where I have watched the entire back catalogue of their films to determine once and for all who is champion slasher, Part 1 [...]
I’ve been doing a bit of research into the score (the orchestral music) in the new upcoming James Cameron movie, Avatar which stars Sam Worthington. James Horner is in charge of all things musical and I’d heard it was going to be ‘epic’ and ‘hugely cinematic’ but what does that really mean? If you’ve not [...]
Twenty one years ago Robert Zemeckis did the impossible. He created a world where all cartoon characters lived together regardless of which studios they ‘worked’ for, and set the riotous chaos of ToonTown alongside the human Hollywood and in treating these characters as actors in their own cartoon films and having them interact seamlessly with [...]
This should come as no surprise to fans of Michael Jackson, or to those who were witness to the fever pitch of hysteria that surrounded the simultaneous worldwide released of the movie This Is It on Tuesday of this week. The BBC have reported the film made $20m all over the world, according to Sony [...]
The British film industry is one of the strongest in the world, with a rich history and a prodigiously talented workforce. I remember being very proud as a child that the Star Wars films were partly made in my country, and the famous studios of Pinewood and Shepperton are true landmarks, seeing the production of [...]
