Earlier today we had a chance to talk to Oscar-winning producer Jon Landau when he came to town to present some footage from the 3D version of Titanic. We’ll be posting details of that footage later in the week but Landau also spoke about 3D and the future of film. During the presentation he gave [...]

Avatar Image

Pretty much everyone knows by now that when James Cameron’s Avatar came out at the end of 2009, it quickly rose to become the world’s highest-grossing film at the box office – taking the top spot from another Cameron film, Titanic – turning its budget of just under $250m. into almost $2.8bn. When you have [...]

Titanic 3d Poster

Next year’s big screen re-release of James Cameron’s 1997 Titanic in 3D is going to be one of the highlights of the year in cinema, and we’ve been seeing some fantastic things from the film already, with the first poster and trailer and stills from the film posted just a few days ago.

New Stills from Titanic 3D

Titanic 3D (1)

To coincide with the new trailer for Titanic 3D that was released last night, Twentieth Century Fox have released these brand new images from the movie that, to my knowledge, have not been seen before. A couple are from scenes in the movie while the other two give us an insight behind the scenes. James [...]

Titanic 3D Gets a New Poster & Trailer which is Digitally Remastered in Every Way!

Titanic 3d Poster

You can’t deny that James Cameron knows how to sell a good movie! We’ve seen him do it countless times with the likes of Aliens, Terminator, Titanic and Avatar. Since he finished Avatar, he’s been working on bringing Titanic back to the big screen in 3D which sounds ridiculous but we’ve seen about 10 minutes [...]

John Carter / Avatar Trailer Mash-Up

Mars / Pandora

I’m been pretty unenthusiastic about Disney’s John Carter. Let’s just get that straight. From the first trailer to the almost 10 minutes of footage screened at D23 this past year, I remain unconvinced.  While the work of fiction by Edgar Rice Burroughs are universally adored, and borrowed from, I have never been compelled into his world.  In [...]

Avatar Is Heading To Disney Theme Parks Around The World

Avatar 1

James Cameron’s Avatar became an unprecedented global success when it was released at the end of 2009, going on to earn more than two and a half billion dollars from its $250m. budget. To be able to take ten times your budget when you’re starting off with that kind of money is utterly insane by [...]

Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray Review

star wars blu-ray art

Reviewing this box set when it is out in stores and in all probability snapped up by eager Star Wars fans seems a little unnecessary. The promise of a shiny high def transfer and the long awaited deleted scenes from the Original Trilogy conspire to tempt you to part with your cash once more, to [...]

Video Vault – Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

video vault star wars

A long time ago, in a living room far, far away (well, Elgin), I remember sitting down to watch Star Wars for the very first time. Now, twenty-odd years, a full franchise and hundreds of pounds worth of merchandise later, I am sitting down to watch it again in anticipation of the saga’s encroaching release [...]

Justin Lin Confirms Fast and Furious 6 as his Next Movie

Fast and Furious 5

It was rumoured for some time that Justin Lin’s next big screen project would be an attempt at getting the Terminator franchise back on track with a returning Arnold Schwarzenegger, however Indiewire’s The Playlist are exclusively reporting that Lin’s next project will be a sixth entry to the Fast and Furious series. Lin met with [...]

Titanic 3D Footage Shown at Empire Big Screen

Titanic

Much is riding on James Cameron’s return to Titanic. The painstaking conversion of the director’s 1997 film is moving ahead and until today the general public had not had the chance to see Titanic in 3D. During the Fox panel we were treated to a few scenes from the new version of the film, and [...]

A Kind of Magic – Brian May’s Journey into the World of 3D

Brain May 2

Some of you will be aware of Brian May’s extra curricular activities which he has pursued throughout his axe-grinding antics with 70’s/80’s legendary rock outfit Queen. A lover of astronomy, he initially abandoned his physics doctorate to forge a career in rock. Throughout the years however, May has co-authored various research paper and publications on the [...]

HeyUGuys Trailer Park: Twenty Years of Terminator 2

terminator 2

As The Beatles (almost) sang – It was Twenty Years and one day ago today when James Cameron unleashed Terminator 2: Judgment Day on an unsuspecting world. The film would prove to be a defining moment in the sci-fi and action genres and the work done by ILM’s Dennis Muren and the legendary Stan Winston [...]

Sanctum Review

sanctum-

Making a movie about a cave diving expedition sounds like a treacherous, expensive, and most likely exhausting feat. Yet, the risk factor is, paradoxically, what attracts filmmakers – the more adventurous they are, the more they’ll get the difficult shots and complex sets and equipment as means to shine. Perhaps this is just what drew [...]

Exclusive Interview – Alice Parkinson Talks Sanctum

Alice Parkinson - Sanctum

James Cameron has a thing for water. And almost-impossible-to-film storylines…this time, he’s done it again: he’s the producer of Sanctum, a new movie about a cave-diving team having to face their worst fears when they get stuck inside the least accessible cave in the world. I had the chance to speak to the lovely Alice [...]

Funny Video: Count How Many Times they Say Jack and Rose in Titanic!

Titanic

This video is completely brilliant and had be laughing throughout just through the way that it’s cut together and the quite staggering number of times that the words, ‘Jack’ (Leonardo DiCaprio) and ‘Rose’ (Kate Winslet) are mentioned in James Cameron’s epic movie, Titanic. The chaps over at FilmDrunk (and thanks to LiveForFilms for the heads [...]

paulwsanderson

Prepare to see history rewritten in a big way… The Hollywood Reporter brings news that Paul W.S. Anderson is down to direct Pompeii, the story of that volatile volcano Mt. Vesuvius and the destruction of the titular Roman city. Wonder what the film will require in order to ground it for an audience? That’s right, [...]

Avatar Sequels Roll Into Production

Avatar

As soon as Avatar finished its super successful cinema run rumours emerged that the world hadn’t seen the end of the story, and that we were to expect a second chapter to Jake and Neytiri’s adventures in Pandora. The Hollywood Reporter has now announced that director James Cameron is getting ready to film not one, [...]
