On top of The Hobbit - which is going to be one time-consuming, exhaustive challenge to say the least (just think about the pressure he's under to "get it right") - he also has found the time to plan and start writing a trilogy of vampire novels, has a four-picture deal with Universal to make a Frankenstein movie, an adaptation the classic novel Slaughterhouse-Five , a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movie, and an adaptation of the vampire novel Drood . After that, Universal hopes to pin him down for his "pet project" At the Mountains of Madness . To put it simply: He's booked solid until at least 2
The nominees have been announced for the fourth annual Scream Awards, held every year by Spike TV . The decisively more "fan-friendly" award ceremony (compared to the Oscars) honors films from the sci-fi, fantasy, horror and comic-book genres of movies, TV shows and comic books. The awards are described as, "the first and only global event of its kind," to honor those gen
Lost should win Best TV Show (I love Dexter , but it's no Lost ); Best Horror Movie should go to Let The Right One In (I would say Drag Me To Hell , but since that's a comedy too, Let The Right One takes it for me); Best Actor in a Fantasy Superhero Movie Games Mods|Https://Superheromoviespot.Com/ Or TV Show should go to Brad Pitt for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ; and Best Comic Book Movie should (EASILY) go to Watchm
The philosophers give an unprecedented discussion on the meaning of every moment in the films and while sometimes it can get wordy, they are easy to follow. The critics do what critics do; they talk. There is a heck of a lot of criticism, but it all sounds justified and they know how to defend a point. It's worth a listen, especially after the philosoph
Most importantly, Robert Downey Jr. provides a second act to his performance as Sgt. Lincoln Osiris that puts the This Is Spinal Tap commentary in the gutter. Downey constantly refers to situations on set as the actor playing the dude disguised as the other dude, staying true to that acting dude's in-movie remark that he doesn't drop character until after the DVD comment
In 1991 enter producer Lawrence Gordon, a powerful Hollywood producer who was once a studio chief at 20th Century Fox and managed to secure the turnaround rights to Watchmen (remember, this means that Fox still owned the rights at a higher lev
The Ultimate Matrix Collection is the most comprehensive assembly of information and footage of any home video release. Amongst all the awesome features are two commentary tracks on each of the films of the trilogy. One is from a pair of philosophers (Dr. Cornel West and Ken Wilber) and the other from three critics (Todd McCarthy, John Powers, David Thomps
That's on top of the pressure of not disappointing people with what he ultimately makes of The Hobbit book. Much like the stories which it precedes, it's extremely popular, and people will be scrutinizing every second of the two-part Hobbit's run-t
Even with the amount of stuff del Toro has on his plate, he still finds the time to do interviews to let us eager fans in on what's he's up to and how far he is along with the stuff he has upcoming. In an interview with Wired , del Toro talked about various different things including his movies up until this point, his upcoming mammoth-project The Hobbit and other future works, and the nature of future storytell
In 2001 Universal took a shot at making the film with Darren Aronofsky ( Requiem for a Dream ) as director with Lawrence Gordon and Lloyd Levin producing a script written by David Hayter ( X-Men, X-Men 2 ). What killed THAT deal was the fact the Universal Studios did not want to entrust such a huge production to Hayter, who wanted to direct the film with Gordon's bless
Dave Gibbons: ...I am involved in reviewing various materials that are being produced in connection with the Watchmen movie...the motion comics...video games, new editions of the book, sculptures...I’m off in a few weeks to do a mini-tour with Zack to publicize the movie. I’m then doing a mini-tour of the UK to publicize the Watching the Watchmen book and a similar mini-tour of the US to do the same...I’ve also done pieces of licensing art, to get the definitive look of the movie characters...It’s often the case that this kind of work is done by people who aren’t connected with the original property, with the inevitable lack of authenticity and so on...hopefully my approach to it will filter through to the final products and they will be, to that degree, much more faithful to the original graphic no
From there Gordon and Levin tried to get the film made by Revolution Studios, then Paramount, which wanted Aronofsky to direct (who dropped out due to schedule conflicts) and then Paul Greengrass ( The Bourne Supremacy ). Greengrass approached the project (still based on Hayter's script) with the right sensibility and a Summer 2006 date was targeted as the release date. Unfortunately in the end budgetary issues killed the project at Paramount, when the studio didn't want to spend $100 million to make the f
