In a recent post at Movies.com entitled ‘Dear 3D, Please Die Already (Again)’, Scott Weinberg (a writer whose thoughts on film I generally agree with) bemoaned the current trend of 3D films filling multiplexes. His piece taps into a number of opinions about 3D that seem very common right now and whilst I’m not exactly [...]
Danny McBride is fast becoming a comedic force to be reckoned with. His turn as the foul-mouthed and ego-inflated disgraced baseball star Kenny Powers in HBO’s dark, yet hilarious Eastbound & Down has garnered a loving, cult following and he’s showed up (and for the most part) stole scenes in a number of high-profile big [...]
Imagine The Princess Bride spilling into the world of Willow, then add liberal lashings of Cheech and Chong-esque stoner humour and you’re somewhere close to Your Highness, the follow-up to director David Gordon Green’s previous weed-tinged comedy, Pineapple Express (which featured the two leads here). Danny McBride (also onboard as co-writer) is the slacker prince [...]
You know that joke that comes around every year or two? The one that you just hear over and over until it makes you want to scream? Well, it appears that once again Warner Bros. is set to raise the bad joke bar with it’s intention to continue on with its Clash of the Titans [...]
Although Leterrier’s stock dropped a little after the critical drubbing handed out to Clash of the Titans, he is nonetheless managing to keep himself in work. He has signed to direct “Now You See Me”, which sees a team of illusionists pulling off bank jobs during their performances, all the while trying to evade the [...]
This project has been in the pipeline for quite some time, and when James Cameron pulls on his producing trousers and grabs his 3D cameras you can bet that he will want to secure the best help he can to bring his version of Fantastic Voyage to the big screen. Enter Shawn Levy, not literally [...]
Casting is coming together for the sequel to Clash of the Titans (imaginatively titled Wrath of the Titans), and Deadline are reporting that Carlos lead Edgar Ramirez has been offered the role of Ares, the God of War. The actor has been around for almost a decade, showing up in meaty roles in a number [...]
One can only hope that lessons have been learned all round as the next installment in the seemingly inevitable Clash of the Titans franchise sets a release date. Sadly too early to be affected by certain Mayan prophecies cinemas in March 2012 will rumble to the sound of Liam Neeson, Sam Worthington and Gemma Arterton [...]
The Belfast Telegraph caught up with Liam Neeson a couple of days ago at the Moet British Independent Film Awards in London and have scooped the news that a Clash of the Titans sequel is in the world and has the title “Wrath of the Titans”. Neeson played Zeus in Clash alongside Sam Worthington (Perseus) [...]
I can’t work out what is the more unlikely here – that a sequel to Clash of the Titans is actually going ahead, or whether the powers that be can convince these two actors to don togas and scream at CG beasties. This tweet from Production Weekly names Javier Bardem and James Franco as potential [...]
Deadline are reporting that the remake of Fantastic Voyage, which is being produced by James Cameron, now has a director on board – Clash of the Titans’ Louis Leterrier. This is an interesting choice as although Leterrier’s remake of the 1981 Greek fantasy has made a ton of many for Warner Bros., the shoddy 3D [...]
In a somewhat inevitable move, Lucasfilm have announced that all six Star Wars movies will return to theatres in 3-D. According to Variety, the first film to hit screens will be Episode I: The Phantom Menace, which will be released sometime in 2012. Jar Jar Binks back, and in all his 3D glory. I’m there!!! [...]
In an interview with the Sunday Times [via The Playlist], Gemma Arterton talked about her new Britsh comedy, Tamara Drewe (opening in the UK this Friday) and dropped a few hints about a number of projects in the offing, while confirming her commitment to the upcoming Clash of the Titans sequel. Arterton has been cast [...]
Warner Bros. have been kind enough to give an exclusive clip from the Blu ray / DVD release of Clash of the Titans called ‘I’m Trying to Help You Live’ and shows Gemma Arterton’s character, Io giving Perseus (Sam Worthington) some good advice! This remake of the 1981 classic stars Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph [...]
Louis Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans is making its way onto Blu-ray and DVD next week and HeyUGuys are giving you the chance to win one of three copies of the film on Blu-ray. This electrifying blockbuster boasts stunning visual effects and special features that take you right into the battle, including a behind-the-scenes look [...]
Late last week, we posted that Twentieth Century Fox had announced they would be re-releasing Avatar into cinemas with an extra eight minutes of footage. What those eight minutes were wasn’t clear from the press release that we were sent (you can see it all here). Well, Sam Worthington who starred in the movie has [...]
We’re in the middle of a recession but Hollywood is still proving popular with the UK audience as Variety are reporting that box office takings for the first half of the year are up 3% on the same time in 2009. They claim the increase in 3d movies being release. I guess it would be [...]
It may have been five years before Willis O’Brien’s ground-breaking first use of stop-motion animation in The Lost World, and the most famous use of the medium in 1932′s King Kong, but it was in 1920 that the triumverate worlds of movie special effects, stop motion, and monster movies was fundamentally changed forever. For that [...]
So, despite a turgid script and mind punchingly bad 3D, an almost total lack of character Clash of the Titans is being given a sequel, and some small details are starting to emerge from the Warner Bros production. Director Louis Leterrier will not return to direct the sequel, which his film took great pains to [...]
