You guys the ones that deserve credit for this place. I flat out love it here and you all comin thru and droppin info on movies is what keeps it goin. Tip of the cap to all of you.



JA, anybody that gets killed by a slow *** dumb *** zombie is a loser. Flat out. You get walked down by a Carl Lewis type ************, and there's no shame there. That's a zombie.
Serious, I'm in my car, and a bunch of stumblin stupid lookin zombies come crawlin down the block, I'm packin up my car, takin out the spare tire real quick, check the oil, maybe wash and wax that *****. Sprinter zombies tho, God damn, I got 10 seconds to live, we Fast and Furiousin this mug out the neighborhood.

Slow *** zombies. :smh:


I don't know the book, but World War Z trailer had me at hello. *shrugs*
 
Pretty much what I expected to hear. :lol:

I don't know how anyone can sit there and like zombies like that in that trailer though.

They look like something out of Lord of the Rings.
 
Anyone catching Lincoln in one of the 'select theaters' this weekend? I'll have to wait until next weekend. NY Daily News gave it four stars. I'm so stoked to finally see it. DDL can do no wrong...

I suggest you lower your expectations.

It's pure Oscar bait, and aside from DDL and Tommy Lee Jones I think the film will be a typical Spielberg picture, I'm not getting too excited for the film in it's entirety.
 
Oh yeah...I forgot I meant to watch all the Spielberg movies. :lol: :smh:

Is it bad that War Horse and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (I know, no connection) make me not want to see Lincoln?

I get a bad, boring feeling from the trailers. And it is Spielberg after 2002 we're talking here...
 
Spiderman on Blu today. :D

Still got a bunch of movies to get thru with the long weekend, hopin to start with Looper, been wantin to see that.


Saw some talk of Die Hard 5 today. :smh: I hope they make more, title them all instead of numbering them.

#6 Never Gonna Die.

#7 You Keep Giving us Money

#8 He's 75, You Keep Coming

Etc.
 
^^^ Speaking of Spider Man, I saw it for the first time on a plane yesterday. I liked it, but I did find myself questioning whether it was really necessary to have a reboot so soon after the last franchise wrapped up. Forgetting about Spider Man 3 for a second, I didn't feel like Amazing did anything that much different from or better than the first two Sam Raimi Spideys. Well, except maybe for Emma Stone >>>>>>>>> KiKi Dunst (except for in Bring It On - I kind of liked KiKi in that one). Still, Amazing was a good way to kill 2 hours of a 4+ hour flight.
 
It's like...I know I can't stand Snaggletooth and any time I see she's in something, it makes me not want to see it. But then I liked her in Jumanji and Virgin Suicides and Bring It On...and I love Spidey 2 and Eternal Sunshine...maybe she's not so----nahhhhhh.

Guess I should finally watch Spidey 4?

I'm expecting it to be a solid film, more so than an entertaining one. Kind of similar to J. Edgar.

(Hi)story telling more than entertaining.
 
Mark Millar On His Three To Four Year Plan For Fox’s Marvel Movies
It’s now explicit that Mark Millar‘s purpose at Fox is to bring their Marvel movies together with “cohesiveness,” to achieve something similar to the main Marvel thread but for “another side of the Marvel Universe.”

He was speaking to Empire, and this bit of transcript comes from SuperHeroHype:

They asked me to come in and work out a plan. So unfortunately at this point I can’t get too specific. I do have a three to four year plan of where things could go, but you know, I’ll be working with guys like Matthew and Josh Trank, who’s the new director on Fantastic Four, and just figuring out how everything can work together and not contradict each other. But I also don’t want to make it too much of a mess either, with everyone showing up in everyone else’s films.

He mentions Matthew here, apparently meaning Matthew Vaughn who was set to direct X-Men: Days of Future Past. Bryan Singer has taken over now – so either this is somehow a really old interview, which I don’t think it is, or Millar sees Vaughn as still having a role. Could there be another Fox-Marvel movie on his dance card already?

Or maybe Millar was just namedropping his buddy as an example. Dunno.

Millar also says that he would like for his Fox-Marvel world to sit happily alongside the Marvel-Marvel world. He’s said it before, and this time, he put it like this:

What my dream is, as a fan, is that when you go and see any Marvel movie that it feels as if they’re all taking place in the one universe like when you pick up a Marvel comic. You should feel as if they’re all taking place in one big kind of cohesive place.

Well, it’s a modest ambition, but I get it.

The Wolverine is the next Marvel movie from Fox. As far as we know, Millar has had no influence and if it does figure into his four year plan, it’s most likely because he’s taken what was already set-up and woven it in. Of course, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some sort of tacked-on end credits tease come up, the better to tighten the weave.

Mark Millar Builds Marvel Movies At Fox & Beyond

Mark Millar explains his consultant gig on 20th Century Fox's Marvel movie adaptations and teases details from "The Wolverine" and more

Since signing on as creative consultant for 20th Century Fox's Marvel movies, writer Mark Millar hasn't been playing coy. Whether it's teasing an appearance by the Sentinels in director Bryan Singer's upcoming "X-Men: Days of Future Past" or discussing early plans for "Chronicle" director Josh Trank's "Fantastic Four" reboot, Millar has been up front about his involvement in the long term life of the two big franchises owned by the studio.

But when Comic Book Resources spoke with the writer earlier this week, Millar made it clear for the first time how he and studio executives were working to bring all the working pieces for the film universe together over the coming years. "My role is more of an overseer," he said. "It's not a consultant in the sense that I check continuity. What I'm doing is building a plan kind of like what Joss [Whedon] is doing with the Avengers movies. It's more of a writerly/producer kind of role where I look at possible directors we can use or possible writers we can bring in to work out a broad, overall strategy for what Fox Marvel can do to feel like Disney Marvel where they've done such a nice job of building a world where these characters can live together. They'll have a momentum that exist outside the structure of any one movie with little cliffhangers and things to tie them together. Disney Marvel has done a wonderful job with that, and I think there's something we can all learn from them.

"I've started to see the Marvel Universe as broken down quite neatly between Disney Marvel and Fox Marvel with Sony doing the Spider-Man movies as well. People keep saying that they want to see all of the Marvel Universe in one place, but what I try to explain to them is that if Marvel Studios had the rights to all the stuff set up at other studios, they wouldn't have the money to make all the other movies they're making. You wouldn't be getting 'Guardians of the Galaxy' or 'Ant-Man' because those slots would be filled up with a Wolverine movie or a Fantastic Four movie. There's only a finite amount of movies they can make."

Millar compared the breakup of rights between studios to Marvel history itself, explaining, "I feel like this is like in the '90s at Marvel where all the dditors had their own little kingdoms. You had the X-books under Bob Harras and the more hardcore books or the Spider-Man books all under different teams. I see it kind of like that where these can all coexist in a big Marvel Universe while still being in their own kingdoms. To be honest, I don't want to see a Spider-Man movie where Silver Samurai shows up. I think that would get a little confusing. I think the more subtle crossovers are far more interesting."

"X-Men First Class" producer Bryan Singer recently switched roles with director Matthew Vaughn and will helm the sequel, "Days of Future Past," which Vaughn will produce

Of course, next up on the Fox Marvel slate is "The Wolverine" -- director James Mangold's adaptation of the classic Chris Claremont/Frank Miller comic that takes the man called Logan to Japan. While the film starring Hugh Jackman has been in production for months, Millar promised that it would play a pivotal role in the long term Marvel game plan. "I didn't work on 'The Wolverine' in a direct sense. There were about two months of 'Wolverine' shooting done when I got this job, but I've got a couple of ideas from it. The only guy I don't really know yet is James Mangold, and I wasn't involved in that screenplay -- though I read it and loved it. But the thing is, I felt like 'Iron Man' was really the beginning of something for the Marvel Studios movies, and 'The Wolverine' will be a similar starting point to build a lot off of for the Fox movies."

That idea will roll into "X-Men: Days of Future Past" when it starts production next year, and the writer said the change in roles behind the scenes for original "X-Men" director Singer and "X-Men: First Class" helmer/Millar friend Matthew Vaughn would allow for some fun twists to the formula. "Bryan's worked as a producer even on the X-Men movies that he didn't direct -- he was a producer on 'First Class.' So when Matthew decided he wasn't going to do the sequel, they just switched places with Matthew producing and Bryan coming on to direct. That's got nothing to do with me, but I'm delighted that Bryan and I will get to work together over the next few years. I've been working with Josh Trank on 'Fantastic Four,' and I have a lot of ideas of other places we can go with the characters Fox has the rights to."

Asked if there were any specific characters from the X-Men world that he'd like to get on the screen sooner rather than later, Millar did play a little shy, though he noted some obvious picks for longtime fans. "That's such a hard question to answer because all the characters I'd want to use, we're already planning on using in some way," he said. "I flew out to LA and talked to Fox, having a days worth of meetings to hammer out ideas. There's an amazing amount of potential in the X-Men universe. It's almost a Marvel Universe in itself in that you can build up to so many great stories and so many great characters. I hesitate to name names, but let's say that all the ones you like and everyone you'd expect, we'll have them. It's insane to have the crown jewel and not expect to wear them.

"You have to remember that Fox grabbed the X-Men back in the '90s because it was the biggest franchise in the world. So X-Force or Cable or Deadpool -- all these amazing characters are things we haven't really gotten to yet. 'X-Force' #1 was the second biggest book of all time behind Jim Lee's 'X-Men' #1, so there's an immediate brand recognition to that stuff and a build in fanbase. You go to any convention in the world, and you'll see 20 people dressed as Deadpool. In a lot of ways, these are Marvel's coolest characters, so I want to remind people of that and build on what we already have. I think there's a great foundation, and just from basic conversations, we've come up with ten movies we could do. These things cost $150 million each to make, so we have to pick and choose what we want to do."

While he didn't work directly on "The Wolverine," Millar is intimately involved in future X-Men movies and Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot

Meanwhile, Millar is continuing to develop many of his creator-owned comics projects -- branded in total as his Millarworld line of books -- as film properties, and aside from the currently filming "Kick-*** 2" and Vaughn's promised adaptation of Millar and Dave Gibbons' "The Secret Service," he explained that he has more potential deals waiting in the wings. "The idea is to finish Kick-*** 2 in December and start production on 'Secret Service' a few months later, and we have a few others that will be filming around the same time," he said. "I can't tell you the titles, but they're books that are already up and running. One is being written now, and the other just finished the screenplay. And 'Nemesis' was bought by Fox in 2010 with plans for Tony Scott to direct, though that didn't work out as Tony passed away, but now it's been passed on to a friend of mine named Joe Carnahan who was mentored by Tony. He's done a lot of work with Scott Free Productions like 'The Grey' this year. So Joe and his brother Matt are working on the screenplay for 'Nemesis' looking to shoot towards the end of next summer, and we've got some cast in mind for it. And there's one other project that's been sold to Fox that will likely be announced as 'Untitled Mark Millar Project' because we don't want to give too much away."

But there is one project fans won't be hearing anything about in Hollywood terms for a long while to come. "It's weird that all these Millarworld projects have been sold as films already, but the one I want to hold onto is 'Jupiter's Children,'" he explained of the book currently in production with artist Frank Quitely for Image Comics. "That book and 'Nemesis 2' will come out around March or April next year, and I'm not going to let 'Jupiter's Children' be sold as a film until I've finished the last issue. I'm going to write the entire ten to twelve-issue series before that. I'm on issue #4 at the moment, and I'll not allow anyone to consider putting in an offer. We've had people getting in touch about the rights, but I've told my agent not to look at any offers at all. This is probably my most commercial project ever, and it'll probably be the biggest seller. I'm very protective of how I want this to be done. I just want it complete, so I can hand it over and tell them to be very faithful with a movie adaptation."

All You Need Is Kill – First Look At Tom Cruise In A Mech Suit, Running From Fire – HQ Update
Posted on November 9, 2012 by Brendon Connelly
Comments

all-you-need-is-kill-hd-600x823.jpg


Tom Cruise is going to die over and over and over again in Doug Liman’s sci-fi war movie All You Need is Kill. This first-look image shows you one of the rare moments in which he’s actually surviving.

UPDATE: We’ve now been sent a higher quality version of the image by Little Bleeder Mira.

That’s what “the Tom Cruise run” looks like when he’s wearing a mech outfit thing.

The pic [originally came] from Sanspo via ANN. I note that that they’re calling Cruise’s get-up a “Battlesuit,” complete with copyright mark.

The film is of particular interest in Japan as it’s been adapted from a novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.

Also in the cast are Emily Blunt and Charlotte Riley and I hope they get to run from walls of fire in heavy mech suits too. One of the key female characters is known as “the ***** of war” but I’m not sure which of Blunt and Riley that would be.

Bill Paxton also has a role, as Cruise’s Platoon Sgt., which seems pretty unimaginative but will probably work a treat.

Perhaps the biggest hook for me, however, is Dante Harper‘s screenplay. I just hope Liman has worked out how to actually film it all…

All You Need Is Kill will be putting The Cruise in a deadly timewarp from March 14th 2014.

What do you mean that's the little girl from Spy Kids?

...a separate Fox thing of the X-Men universe could be cool...
I'm holding out hope for Days of Future Past.
 
Will be back with thoughts on how epic Skyfall is tomorrow morning. Marking this so I don't have to dig through months of what I'm sure is good stuff. I need someone to earmark some highlights for me.
 
Saw Skyfall last night. As good as I expected :pimp: The scenes in Shanghai were ******g beautiful. Javier was amazing, I'm only upset he had to die, cause the performance he put on was just... perfect. The ending was really, really sad though.
Craig and Dench had such a good chemistry, its a shame it won't be there in the future.

I think the only movie left this year that has a chance to top this is the Hobbit.

Jesus Christ. :wow:

Machete 2 just moved WAY up on my list of most anticipated. Gosh damn.


Watched Looper last night........Certainly interesting. I had no idea that little boy was the Phoenix, but ok. Liked the premise, really wish we could have seen the adult version of the Rainmaker, in fact, if one were smart, would that not be the sequel/prequel right there? The Rainmaker's accension to tremendous future crime lord complete with time travel and assassins, and floating quarters, who wouldn't watch that?

I'm still a little half spun about the whole old you comes to see new you, which has a job from a future you coming back to hire you, and pay you with silver bars, then gold bars to kill you, as you were......Ok. :lol:
