A fair amount of news coming my way today, some good, some bad. Read on for more!
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
I've got two bits of Scott Pilgrim news to share with you today. First piece comes from Kotaku, where they're offering two sets of the Limited Edition T-Shirts that were given away at the Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Super Fun Party. Just comment for the chance to win (I've entered, they're awesome...). The second piece of info? A new poster for the film, below:
The more I see of the film, the more I want it...
Mad Max Delayed?
According to The Australian, filming on Mad Max: Fury Road has been delayed until February. It's thought that the delay is because they'll be filming not just one film, but two...back-to-back. Doing this causes a lot more stress for cast and crew, along with storyboarding, scripting, etc. There are, oddly, also rumours that director George Miller may be working on Babe 3...I have no idea why anybody would want to continue that series, but hey-ho...
Red Riding Hood
Empire are reporting that Virginia Madsen is the latest to join the cast of upcoming Red Riding Hood, another modern re-telling of the "children's" fairytale. Madsen will be playing the mother of Red (Amanda Seyfried). Obviously, the film also has a werewolf, a witch hunter, and the grandmother is using silver knitting needles...or something. I still say The Path is the most interesting re-telling of Red Riding Hood.
"No Mr. Bond, I Want You To Die!"
I couldn't help myself...sod the formal headline, it was worth it. As we all know, MGM are going through some really big financial problems at the moment (rumoured $4bn worth of debts), which has not only put the two Hobbit films on hold, but has now brought the 23rd James Bond film into question. Originally just ut on hold, rumours are now circulating of the next film being cancelled completely.
Halo: Reach TV Advert
Here's a random shot from the set of the Halo: Reach Advert. I'm not a huge Halo fan, but the adverts that have appeared on TV over the past few years have been stunning, and really boost the idea of a good film being made for the series.
Green Hornet International Trailer
Whilst it doesn't look like it'll live up to the likes of Iron Man, or Batman, The Green Hornet does look mildly interesting. I hope the film isn't just a pure comedy though, otherwise they just won't be able to expand on the franchise.
Transformers 3 Shots
Over at JoBlo they've athered together some of the latest on-sthe-set shots from Transofmers 3. Below is a sneak peek at just a couple of those shots.
I'm wondering when we're going to get shots of the actual Transformers though...I know, I know, they're CGI robots...but still, they're the reason I'm watching the bloody thing...
Transformers 3... Eurgh.
ReplyDeleteI'm pissed off that the Bond films might be cancelled :( but pleased there will be more than one Mad Max (without the religidiot Gibson in them)
ReplyDeleteand yes- the transformers are cool but in the last one I thought they were a little cheesy- and you know I only watched it for the hunk factor- so if they have no hunks I won't watch it :P (nb. the kid who stars is not a hunk)
So I assume you like the guy that was in Las Vegas?
ReplyDeleteI like the Transformers films...but purely for the GIANT FUCKING ROBOTS. That's all I really like...the explosions are an added bonus, but nothing defeats a giant robot...except maybe an army of giant robots...
