Lost's Matthew Fox on "Speed Racer"

An ET (Entertainment Tonight) exclusive has revealed Fox's look as Racer X in the live action "Speed Racer" movie coming to theaters next summer. Take a look:



I'm very interested in this movie just to see how it will turn out. I like the Wachowski Brothers and faith in them-- The characters look identical as far as the cheesy costumes, hair styles and sets go. It looks like a fun romp.
The movie is aiming for a G rating, and rightfully so. It's said to be the most highly anticipated family film in awhile. Lets see if they pull it off!

Batman Teaser Poster

A new "The Dark Knight" teaser poster has been released. Click to enlarge:

Many people are complaining that this teaser, mimicing the Joker's look. has been released too late since Ledger's appearence as the Joker is no longer a secret. I think for the general public (the one's who are not nerds that spend enough time on the internet to find an obscure "blogger" movie blog with lots of typos) it is very effective. I like the poster, but I can't wait to see the next one. Very errie.
July, 2008.

Iron Man Looking Badass

A new, high quality picture of Iron Man has been unleashed. Click to enlarge:


The 2008, summer blockbuster has some pretty high expectations and is looking pretty fun. Lets hope it lives up to the hype. Great picture.

Bale is John Conner for Terminator 4

I've been avoiding putting up a lot of news about this movie because I think the simple fact I'm reading "Terminator 4" on websites is absurd. On the other hand the first decent piece of news about the film has recently been announced for "Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins." (The actual title of the film-- For now.) Christian Bale will be playing the part of John Conner.

Conner was previously played by Nick Stahl in "Terminator 3" and originally by Edward Furlong in "Terminator 2." Now Bale will take on the role of the hero in the fourth Terminator installment directed by McG. Who is McG you ask? The director of both "Charlie's Angels" flicks and a host of TV and direct to video stuff.

While I'm glad Bale is a part of this, I have to ask: Why? This movie is shaping to become fluff and he's already well established-- Why this? One can only pray there will be more good to this movie than Bale.

"The Dark Knight" Joker and Batman

Some rather cool modeled photos, mostly of Ledger's Joker, have arrived. This is one of the best shots of the new batsuit online as well. (I continue to have mixed feelings about the new suit, but it continues to grow on me with each picture.) Meanwhile Ledger's Joker looks like he's going to be rather insane. I look forward to his take on the legendary villain. Click to enlarge:




"The Dark Knight" July 2008.

Peter Jackson? Hobbit? 3D?

Put this in your rumor wallet, but as of right now word is going around that Peter Jackson will be directing, not one, but two "Hobbit" films set to be released post-2010 and in 3D as well.

Now I understand the 3D craze is beginning and with the growth of digital projection systems more and more 3D movies are likely. "Beowulf" has only scratched the surface. We also know that Jackson is very much in love with the 3D concept and plans to do a trilogy with Spielberg in 3D. ("Tintin")

However, why is it necessary to bring the Hobbit to us in 3D? Furthermore, why is it necessary to split it up in to two movies? And post-2010? This sounds pretty bogus to me.Add to that Jackson is still in a legal battle with New Line, Sam Raimi was being considered to direct "The Hobbit" and the original release date New Line was committed to was 2009.

I know I don't normally pass along rumors on my blog, but this was pretty interesting. Now to await official word from New Lin and/or Jackson himself.

"The Dark Knight" Video Interview and On Stage Footage

The Today Show had an exclusive interview with Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart and Director Christopher Nolan about the upcoming Batman sequel, "Batman Begins." Some shots are onstage footage of Bale in the new Batsuit. He certianly still has that badass voice too! Very nice interview take a look:



Let me know if the video goes down, I'll find another link.

Two More Hellboy Posters

I wanted to wait for the one with hellboy actually revealed on it as to not make too big of a deal out of these crappy posters. They really need to find a better way to advertise characters from genre movies. Certianly there's a mroe creative way of doing it besides plastering their face on a poster. Anyway, here's Abe Sapien and Hellboy. del Toro's sequel, "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," arrives in theaters next summer. Click to enlarge:

Joker Loves the Magazines

Empire Magazine aren't the only magazine that delivered a new picture of Batman's arch nemesis. Another picture of the Joker has been revealed. Damn he looks hideous... Click to enlarge:

"Zohen" is Not To Be Messed With

Adam Sandler will be starring in another of-the-wall comedy titled "You Don't Mess With Zohen." The project is directed by "Happy Gilmore" director Dennis Dugan. While this combination sounds promising, Dugan hasn't done so well since then. Remember "Chuck & Larry," "National Security" and "Benchwarmers?" Confident about this movie now?
To add to that, the writers of "Knocked Up" and SNL are the ones responsible for this story about an Israel Agent who moves to New York to satisfy his dream of becoming a hair stylist. Wow. Sounds groundbreaking.
It's a shame because Sandler has come up with some pretty good stuff in the recent years and I hate to see him dip this low....again.
The director of "Benchwarmers" and the writer of "Knocked Up?" I will pass!
The picture above is a still from the movie. Click it to enlarge.... If you want to that is...
