In case you missed it, here’s the Super Bowl TV spot for George Lucas’ “Star Wars” re-releases in 3D. It’s hard not to get excited when you hear the music start up and the sound of lightsabers humming. Those are such iconic sounds, especially if you’re a sci-fi movie geek. Of course, then you realize that you’ll have to see that Godawful “The Phantom Menace” first, and the enthusiasm sort of dims somewhat.
Four new pics from Pete Travis’ “Dredd”, the Brit-heavy reboot of the Sylvester Stallone movie. You can only improve on that version, right? One can only hope.
In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.
I’m always down for discovering a new sci-fi movie that I’ve never heard of before. Here’s one: Wayne Slaten’s “Patriot Act”. The teaser doesn’t really give away too much, but here’s a little helpful synopsis to fill in some of the holes:
Did you missed the TV spots for “Battleship”, “John Carter”, and other sci-fi films during the Super Bowl this Sunday? Hey, I can see that happening. What with the game going on, the running to the bathrooms between punts, the eating your brains out, the getting all bloated from all the eating and sitting on the coach and then having to run to the bathroom. It’s a vicious cycle, to be sure. Thankfully for you, we have those TV spots below.
Official press release below.
Universal Pictures, One Race Films and Radar Pictures announced today that principal photography has begun on the action-driven, sci-fi thriller Riddick. The shoot will take place in Montreal.
I have my issues with TNT’s “Falling Skies” TV show, and frankly, the only reason I’ll even bother with the second season when it premieres this Summer is because, damn, what else is there on TV? There’s a pretty big shortage of quality sci-fi shows, so I guess we better appreciate what we have, right? Terry O’Quinn joining the cast should make the show a little more bearable, even if it is just for a few lousy eps.
Easily the best trailer for “John Carter” yet. It doesn’t only have a ton of new footage stuffed into its minute-long running time, but it’s a lot lighter, fluffier, and goofier trailer. Happier and more fun, if you will. That’s what I want in my sci-fi movies about guys transported to strange alien worlds with four-armed dudes carrying swords, and this trailer delivers that. Good stuff.
Could happen. Variety reporter Jeff Sneider started the whole hullabaloo off by tweeting this about Russell Crowe’s possible involvement in the impending remake of “Robocop” by “Elite Squad” director José Padilha:
Sure, Russell Crowe, MIGHT star in Aronofsky’s NOAH… but do you know what else he MIGHT star in? Three words: Ro. Bo. Cop.
“Hunger Games” fans rejoice, today brings you an obscene amount of “Hunger Games” stuff. First of, there’s that new pic of Lenny Kravitz and Jennifer Lawrence from the film below. If you’ve read the Suzanne Collins books, then you know that Kravitz’s Cinna figures prominently into the female lead’s preparations to surviving the Games. Also, look, new trailer below for the movie!
Gavin Hood’s “Ender’s Game” movie has enlisted the aid of Ben Kingsley (“Ghandi”) and Brandon Soo Hoo (he played young Storm Shadow in “G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra”) into its cast. Kingsley will play Mazer Rackham, “a legendary war hero”, while Soo Hoo will play the awesomely named Fly Molo.
Isn’t Judge Dredd suppose to snarl a lot? I don’t read the comics or anything, but you know, when I picture Judge Dredd, I picture him with that “I’m gonna so kick ass your ass piss down your throat” snarl. Then again, that could just be an after-memory from the Sylvester Stallone “Judge Dredd” movie. Whatever, new pic below. Enjoy.
Yes, it’s a teaser trailer for the trailer that’s coming during the Super Bowl. What the hell? I ain’t got nuthin’ to do and you probably don’t, either, or else you wouldn’t be reading this totally lame and pointless writing that I’m typing right now. Yes, right NOW. So go on, watch the 20-second teaser, you know you want to.
“Riddick” is still happening. Just in case you were curious. To ensure you that it is happening, the franchise’s star Vin Diesel has been posting set images from the movie’s Canada set pretty regularly. About once a week or thereabouts. Here’s the latest pic.
Chances are, I’m not seeing the “Star Wars” films when they’re re-released in theaters in 3D, staring with the first movie “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace” on February 10th. No offense, but I got the whole “You need to see ‘Star Wars’ in theaters at least once!” kick out of my system when Georgie re-released them into theaters the first time around.
Snore. Here’s the cliche-filled, incredibly uninspiring U.S. trailer for Guy Pearce’s new sci-fi actioner “Lock-Out”. It really, really sucks. It sucks so much, I had to watch the International trailer again just to get the suckness out of my mouth.
