Over the past two years or so, there’s been talk of not one but two sequels to Roland Emmerich’s awesome 1996 sci-fi blockbuster, Independence Day, all of which you can catch up on here. Details about the plot specifics have been kept pretty tightly under wraps, but some interesting details about the project itself have [...]
To be or not to be, that is certainly the subjective question of whether director Roland Emmerich’s new film will excite or disgust. Indeed, with the covering of one of our greatest playwright’s names in his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon in protest of Anonymous, William Shakespeare might be thrilled at the reignited interest in him. In [...]
Billed as a political thriller in tights Roland Emmerich is taking a step back from blowing up worlds to blowing our minds as he sets out the premise that Shakespeare not only never wrote any of the plays credited to him, but also never existed. Blimey. Anonymous has an exceptional cast in Rhys Ifans, Xavier [...]
I’ve got some good and bad news for you people. The sort of good news is that if you’re a fan of Rhys Ifans or maybe director Roland Emmerich, we have a new trailer for you for their new movie, Anonymous. The bad news is that we got to see two new clips from the [...]
Here’s the second trailer for Roland Emmerich’s new movie, Anonymous which we’ll get here in the UK 28th October. Anonymous stars Rhys Ifans, Xavier Samuel, Jamie Campbell Bower, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis, Vanessa Redgrave, Derek Jacobi, Rafe Spall, Edward Hogg and is set for release 30th September in the US and we assume around then [...]
It’s not clear exactly how the world will end in Roland Emmerich’s next film, based on the much argued notion that Shakespeare was not the author of the works attributed to him, but the idea of a Tudor apocalypse seems quite appealing really. However it is not this film (which is called Anonymous – see [...]
Sony Pictures have released a couple of new images from the Roland Emmerich movie, Anonymous which I still find very odd seeing after his previous works! Anonymous stars Rhys Ifans, Xavier Samuel, Jamie Campbell Bower, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis, Vanessa Redgrave, Derek Jacobi, Rafe Spall, Edward Hogg and is set for release 30th September in [...]
We’ve already seen the trailer for Roland Emmerich’s latest movie, Anonymous but now we get to see the first poster for the movie which was released by Columbia Pictures last night. It asks the question, ‘Was Shakespeare a Fraud?’. Anonymous stars Rhys Ifans, Xavier Samuel, Jamie Campbell Bower, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis, Vanessa Redgrave, Derek [...]
What feels like forever ago we put up the first image for Roland Emmerich’s new movie, Anonymous. Looking back, it was actually this year on January 6th to be precise. The film stars Rhys Ifans, Xavier Samuel, Jamie Campbell Bower, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis, Vanessa Redgrave, Derek Jacobi, Rafe Spall, Edward Hogg and is set [...]
Columbia Pictures (via our friends at FirstShowing) have released the first image from their new movie, Anonymous which gives us our first looks at Rhys Ifans as Edward de Vere. Anonymous is helmed by CGI disaster movie legend, Roland Emmerich and this time it would appear that he’s taken to period dramas?! The man famed [...]
Roland Emmerich (2012) is in pre-production on The Zone, a found-footage film revolving around an alien invasion, set to be improv-based and cast with relative unknowns. Sony, who will distribute the film as a negative pick-up, have confirmed a $5M budget, which is considerately less that what Emmerich’s films usually cost. The Zone comes from [...]
Rumours have been circulating of a sequel to Independence Day for as long as I can remember. I recall talk of a sequel for the new millennium, tentatively titled “ID2000″, which obviously never materialised. Director Roland Emmerich, who since ID4 has continued to find new and exciting ways to destroy the planet (The Day After [...]
At Comic-Con this past weekend, Warner Bros. Pictures took the opportunity to introduce audience members to the new and improved Godzilla. Attendees were not only treated to a T-shirt with the new image of Godzilla, but they were able to see a superimposed animation of Godzilla breathing fire, complete with his trademark roar. The newly designed Godzilla [...]
Not even Ferris Bueller could save the 1998 version of Godzilla for me. It was as slow and ponderous as the eponymous creature and Roland Emmerich’s vision was not able to capture the atomic majesty of the Showa series, and despite its box office takings it remains a vapid revision of the monster. But hey! [...]
Dave has written an extensive review of the film here, and I’ll concentrate on the Blu-ray experience here after giving my brief thoughts on the film. Roland Emmerich has made his name with various apocalypses, be it aliens in Independence Day, Godzilla stomping its way through Manhattan, death by frostbite in The Day After Tomorrow [...]
What is it about total carnage that sends people to the theater in droves? I’m totally guilty of this as well, but I’m wondering what exactly it is about disaster movies that make them so awesome (and by “awesome” I mean, totally cheesy, silly fun). Disaster movies while not high quality, will normally have really [...]
Disaster struck at the box office this weekend, again and again. Roland Emmerich’s CG-heavy apocalypse movie 2012 starring John Cusack and Amanda Peet had a huge opening weekend in the US and abroad, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Balancing its $200 million budget with its US earnings of $65 million and the foreign box office [...]
To coincide with the release of Roland Emmerich’s 2012, which is in UK cinemas NOW, Columbia Pictures have released a new featurette based around the volcanic eruption in Yellowstone Park. I’ve embedded the featurette below or head over to Yahoo to view in HD. 2012 stars John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt and [...]
Fresh from destroying the world in 2012 it seems Roland Emmerich can’t keep away from finding new ways to put the world in peril. Almost exactly a month ago we reported on Emmerich’s desire to make a sequel to his 1996 Earth vs. Aliens epic Independence Day, a film that was all about the boom [...]
