The first clip from Iron Man 3 presumably comes from a point in the sequel before Tony Stark's giant mansion gets rocket-blasted into the Pacific Ocean.
Before Hans Zimmer signed up to provide musical accompaniment for Man of Steel, the Oscar-winning composer said that the job would be a "thankless task."
So now here we are, just months out from the Superman reboot's June 14th theatrical release, and Zimmer is talking about his approach to scoring Man of Steel, discussing the challenge of sidestepping the familiar fanfare, the themes of the film that resonate with him, darkness, and the American Midwest.
There's an alternate universe where Elysium hit theaters last month. But we don't live in that universe.
Here, in our universe, Sony Pictures rescheduled the rare original science-fiction event movie for August 9th and we're still parsing over the occasional new Elysium image whilst waiting for a poster or even a trailer.
There is only one word that can accurately describe actor/producer Bruce Campbell … groovy!
Campbell has appeared in numerous film projects including Crimewave, Maniac Cop, Mindwarp, The Hudsucker Proxy, Congo, Fargo, Escape from L.A., McHale’s Navy, The Love Bug, The Majestic, the Spider-Man series, Bubba Ho-tep, Serving Sara, The Ladykillers, Sky High, My Name is Bruce, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Cars 2, and most recently Oz the Great and Powerful. Not to mention the actor has also starred on several popular TV series including The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., Xena: Warrior Princess, and the long running USA spy series Burn Notice, which is now going into its seventh season.
But without a doubt, Campbell is best known by fans for his film first role as Ashley J. “Ash” Williams in director Sam Raimi’s groundbreaking horror classic The Evil Dead, as well as its two sequels Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn, and Army of Darkness, which he also produced along with Raimi and Robert Tapert. Now, with rumors of a possible sequel to Army of Darkness on the horizon, the trio has returned to produce Evil Dead, which is a remake of the classic film and opens in theaters on April 5th.
The new movie is a straight horror remake of the original and does not include any of the comedic or fantasy elements of the later series. It was directed by Fede Alvarez and based on a script by himself, Rodo Sayagues, and Oscar-winner Diablo Cody (Juno). The new film centers on five friends that head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods. The evil presence possesses them until only one is left to fight for survival. The cast includes Jane Levy (Nobody Walks), Shiloh Fernandez (Skateland), Lou Taylor Pucci (Beginners), Jessica Lucas (Cloverfield), and newcomer Elizabeth Blackmore.
Last weekend at WonderCon in Anaheim, California, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with actor/producer and all-around groovy guy Bruce Campbell to talk about his role as a producer on Evil Dead, as well as the rumored sequel to Army of Darkness. The fan-favorite actor discussed the new movie, why they wanted to produce a remake, the decision to make it a straight horror film and not include any comedic or fantasy elements, Campbell, Raimi and Tapert’s role as producers on the film, if it should be considered a continuation of the original franchise or it’s own stand-alone series, Campbell’s possible end credit cameo, Diablo Cody’s contributions to the script, as well as Army of Darkness 2, why he’s skeptical that it will ever get made, whether or not the film will be a continuation of the director’s cut or the theatrical ending, if he is excited to reprise his role as Ash, and if he’s pleased in the renewed interest in The Evil Dead franchise.
It's been a busy quarter mile for Fast & Furious 6 as of late, but that stop Dominic Toretto from rounding up all his friends and heading to their local Sears for a big group photo.
That photo – with a background conveniently informing audiences that the new sequel heads to London and a few fast-looking cars reminding audiences that Fast & Furious 6 will indeed boast fast cars going fast – adorns the new one sheet for the sequel, in theaters this May 24th.
The full theatrical trailer for the upcoming Carrie remake tacitly serves a message to bullies.
That message is a stern warning to stop being a jag, because the kid you're bullying might be dealing with a crazed fanatic of a mother and emergent telekinectic powers. Powers that could really ruin prom night.
We've got three new promo-nuggets for this month's Oblivion, all three are concerned with size to one degree or another.
With the film's theatrical release just over two weeks away, two new behind the scenes featurettes and an IMAX-specific poster are flying around online, though not in a sleek little bubbleship.
In the new all-ages trailer for This Is The End, the world is indeed still ending, but with less potty mouth.
Also less cocaine tossing and graphic impalement.
Sad, sad news today.
Roger Ebert, the most popular and prominent film critic of our time, has passed away at the age of 70.
He died in Chicago on Thursday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times, the paper for which Ebert penned film reviews for 45 years.
It's been a hell of a run, but Justin Lin's tenure with the Fast & Furious franchise apparently comes to an end this May with Fast & Furious 6.
