In what is a triumph for 2012 the UK box-office this week is 37% up on the equivalent weekend last year. Battling the likes of Chalet Girl, The Lincoln Lawyer and Anuvahood this weekend we had The Devil Inside, 21 Jump Street, We Bought and Zoo and Contraband vying for box-office supremacy. But who won, [...]
The UK box-office may only be 4% down on last year (which with things as they are going is a blessing in disguise) but when one considers that this week heralds the arrival of a $250 million Disney production you’ve got to wonder where it all went wrong. Here’s our look at the UK box [...]
It’s been a bit of an odd ride with John Carter. Quite apart from finding the film somewhat underwhelming, my interview with director, Andrew Stanton ended up being a little more difficult than I expected, while Lynn Collins discussed working in a skimpy outfit, and Willem Dafoe showed a surprising interest in motion capture. With [...]
It was a fairly comedy-centric offering last week at the multiplexes but this coming week is a wholly more eclectic affair. This weeks’ releases are set in such diverse locals as gritty English council estates, Parisian high society, the sweltering heat of India and, well, Mars. Are any of them worth your hard-earned cash at [...]
Yesterday we published our interview with John Carter director Andrew Stanton, and earlier today our interview with Willem Dafoe went live. Next up in our series of John Carter interviews is leading lady Lynn Collins, who plays Martian princess Deja Thoris. While the interview went a bit more smoothly than the previous two, it was [...]
Yesterday we published our somewhat contentious interview with John Carter director Andrew Stanton. When we spoke to actor Willem Dafoe, the conversation was much more relaxed – in spite of the fact that I’m convinced Dafoe could kill me with a glance if he so chose, although he did insist that he doesn’t play ‘bad [...]
As you may have seen, I wasn’t the biggest fan of John Carter which made interviewing its Director, Andrew Stanton a challenge. As a general rule, interviewing people at a junket is a fairly simple, and rather enjoyable task. Even if I’ve not particularly enjoyed the movie in question (which happens more often than I’d [...]
I don’t like what McG stands for and consequently I hate This Means War. Throughout this article that may become tediously clear. The film is rubbish and in a box-office that this week has been buoyed to a long overdue comparative high I regret that a large chuck of that success is constituted by the [...]
John Carter battles Martians with a loincloth, a chiselled torso and the ability to jump really high. The John Carter trailer doesn’t give much away in terms of plot. Instead we have epic landscapes, aliens with extra limbs and production design that all looks worryingly Attack of the Clones. Visually, everything’s awesome but there’s not [...]
Disney’s John Carter is just four short days away from hitting the big screen, and Disney’s marketing campaign has been giving us plenty to enjoy over the past few months, and you can catch up on all the trailers, clips, images, posters, featurettes, and everything else we’ve seen right here. With just a few days [...]
It’s barely a week until John Carter finally makes his the big screen debut, after nearly 70 years of false starts, and failed attempts, and although we (I) didn’t love the film as much as I’d hoped to, it’s still an impressive achievement. We’ve got interviews with Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Willem Dafoe and Andrew [...]
At last night’s John Cater premiere, we ran into the legend that is Dexter Fletcher, who was there, in his words, ‘to see Mark Strong’*. We’d never miss an opportunity to chat to Dexter, particularly not when his debut movie, Wild Bill is coming out in a matter of weeks. As well as talking about [...]
John Carter hits UK cinemas next Friday 9th March and you can see what we thought of it right here. It seems to be a movie that a split opinions on whether or not it’s good or not which always makes for great debate! Ben is off to the UK press conference this afternoon and [...]
Given the wide influence the John Carter books have had on the world of cinema there was a certain sense of trepidation, as images, trailers and plot details leaked out, that the movie would feel, somewhat perversely, like a rip-off of all the stories it had inspired. As it turns out, we needn’t have worried. [...]
Here’s what must be the final trailer released for John Cater formerly known as John Carer of Mars directed by Pixar legend, Andrew Stanton. The movie stars Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Samantha Morton, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy, Daryl Sabara, Polly Walker, Bryan Cranston, Thomas Hayden Church and Willem Dafoe. Check out [...]
Here’s a rather fabulous four minute look at John Carter fighting the white apes in the new Disney movie which is set for release 9th March in both the US and UK. If you know nothing about John Carter and want to find out what it’s all about, have a watch of the video below. [...]
We’re only a few weeks away now from the release of Disney’s John Carter, an epic blockbuster that looks to be pretty grand in scale, and the ad campaign has been gearing up over the last few weeks and months nicely. To add to all we’ve seen so far, we now have a brilliant new [...]
The marketing campaign for Disney’s John Carter is taking a saturation approach, but it’s doing its job well, because every time we get something new from the film, it makes me want to see it even more. Taylor Kitsch takes the lead as the eponymous John Carter under Oscar winner Andrew Stanton’s direction, with a [...]
Everything that we’ve seen from John Carter over the past few months has been beyond promising, from the first teaser we saw last year to all the concept art we’ve seen since to the Super Bowl TV spot that we got earlier this month. Led by Taylor Kitsch, the film has a terrific supporting cast [...]
I’m looking forward to John Carter more and more with every passing day. After getting a brilliant new TV spot for the film during the Super Bowl at the weekend, followed by a great set of new images yesterday, we’ve now got another epic new TV spot to share with you, along with a new [...]
