But, never the less, the internet gods have granted us our first look at Matthew Vaughn’s adaptation of the Mark Millar comic Kick-Ass.
Sure, this squeaky clean trailer doesn’t really give the slightest inclination of the hard-R flick, but I think it’s safe to say, if you were on the fence about Kick-Ass before, this trailer MIGHT just make you a believer.
So…can we get a red-band trailer soon, gang? I wanna see Hit-Girl eff some ess up!
Hold on tight, film nerds. They’re doing a remake of the classic greek soldiers vs. monsters classic Clash of the Titans.
And if this first trailer is ANY indication…not a lot to get excited about.
Honestly, watching this, I really could not have cared less. Similar to the issues I had with the Prince of Persia trailer, sure, it looks cool, and that soundtrack makes it sound epic…but…there’s zero substance. It’s the movie trailer equivalent of a pixie stick. Come on gang, at least give me a candy coated shell to chew through!
Another thing to worry about – this is the 3rd film with Sam Worthington as a lead. Worthington got VERY lucky, and scored the lead roles in Avatar, Terminator Salvation and this back-to-back, and if Terminator was ANY indication of his chops, this does not bode well for either Avatar or this new version of Titans.
Either way, I’d like to remain optimistic about this flick, but right now, this is a zero-buy scenario.
Clash of the Titans (2010) is due to hit your local cinema on March 26th.
If there is anything that leaves me in a child like, giddy state, two of these such things are..
1. Studio Ghibli films
2. Awesome Lego creations
No matter my age, no matter how jaded I become, they both leave my inner child glowing with glee.
So I’m sure you can imagine that once I saw this Lego interpretation of Howl’s Moving Castle, from the Ghibli film of the same title, I melted into a pile of happy nerd goo.
And oh, what an interpretation it is! Literally, this is some insane, stunning work.
Disney, Ghibli, Lego, one of you…put this guy on your payroll. I can only imagine what he could do with say, a Lego Catbus.
Let your inner child smile, gang, hit play on the slideshow above, and just be in awe of the workmanship. I know I am.
Considering the movie is scheduled to start filming early next year, it should come as little surprise that the first character details for Spider-Man 4 are slowly, but surely, leaking to the web.
The first character rumor to set the web all aflutter? Looks like that the infamous Black Cat will be joining everyone’s favorite webswinger in the 4th Sam Raimi helmed adventure, and honestly, I don’t think I could be much happier with that character choice.
Raimi’s demonstrated that he works best with classic Spider-Man villains and history, and there are few characters that work better as a natural foil for Spidey than the attractive “Is she hero, Is she villian” cat burglar otherwise known as Felicia Hardy.
What makes this really work for me is it’s a character that naturally impacts the the biggest components of Spider-Man, his balance of personal life and superhero life, as he typically stumbles into romance with the Black Cat, which makes things difficult with Mary Jane.
Now, I really don’t want another film with Kirsten Dunst sulking the whole time, but I think the concept of a 4th Spider-Man with him dealing with both the Black Cat and say, The Lizard, could be a great time.
Worth noting, the first actress rumored for the white wig and cat mask is Rachel McAdams, whom I’m guessing is building some serious buzz over her supporting role in Sherlock Holmes.
Either way, this is the first time I can say I’m vaguely excited about Spider-Man 4. There’s a long road between now and May 2011, and I think Raimi realizes he needs to impress on this one. We’ll see what happens.
Well, if that super odd combo of arguably the most technologically advanced film of it’s time matched up with the greatest silent film actor ever, you’d have a video like the one above.
Created by the Russian actor team “Big Difference”, this is really well done. Dialogue cards and all.
Awesome stuff like this is why the internet was invented.
If anything, I’d like to think the positive internet buzz about the surreal 2nd UK poster helped here, but the just revealed US theatrical poster for Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is actually pretty rad!
Sure, it’s nowhere near as surreal as the UK poster (it would take a lot to beat that), but it certainly gives a feeling unlike anything else at the cinema. Which, I dare say, given the surreal nature of the film, is very appropriate.
US design team: Well done, I say.
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is due in theaters on Christmas Day.
If you, like me, purchased a Nintendo Wii when it launched 3 years ago (yes, it’s been that long), you’re probably familar with the Raving Rabbids, from the Rayman series.
Now we’re at a point where the insane rabbits are known well enough to star in their own franchise, which brings us to this fall’s exclusive Wii title, Rabbids Go Home.
So, you’re UbiSoft’s UK division, you have a title built around rabbits who ruin people’s lives…how do you promote the game?
If you said “Cause a traffic jam in London!”, you’re a smarter marketer than I, as that’s just what they did!
The gang at Girl Gamer UK has photos of the craziness, and I’m just floored that this is how they decided to promote the title. Because NOTHING makes people buy Wii games quite like anger and frustration.
