Worth Watching - July 29: Baader Meinhof Complex Trailer

Last year we featured a trailer for a German film called Der Baader Meinhof Komplex. It later went on to become nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar even though it still hasn't officially hit US theaters. Vitagraph Films is now bringing The Baader Meinhof Complex to theaters and has debuted an official US trailer (and poster) for the film over on Cinematical. This looks pretty incredible and considering it was good enough to get an Oscar nomination, I'm definitely interested in checking it out. Plus, any trailer that uses The Who's "My Generation" in a great way just deserves some props anyway. Watch this trailer!

The Weekly Moviegoer - Is Movie Hopping Acceptable?

By Christopher Campbell

I wonder what my grandmother thought of film piracy. I am suddenly curious because she passed away earlier this month, and I never thought to ask her before she died. The reason it would be interesting to know is she's the one who introduced me to movie hopping - the art of buying one ticket and staying inside the theater to see other movies. Of course, most of us don't think of sneaking into a movie as being equal in offense to pirating a movie. Which is why it would have been neat to know if someone of her generation saw any difference -- not that she was tech savvy enough to download a pirated film, but still.

Don't Worry, Star Trek 2 Won't Be Like Transformers 2!

By Alex Billington

I'm probably stepping onto thin ice here, but this is worth mentioning only for fun, not for real news. Sci-fi site io9 caught up with screenwriter Roberto Orci on the red carpet of the Entertainment Weekly party at Comic-Con (which I was also at). Their brief conversation focused slightly on Transformers 2, then jumped to Star Trek 2. As was announced previously, Orci and writing partner Alex Kurtzman are writing the sequel to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek. They also wrote Transformers 2, which despite earning $382 million at the box office, hasn't settled well with critics or fans. But you don't have to worry, Star Trek 2 will be very different.

Interview: Max Mayer - Writer & Director of Adam - Updated!

By Alex Billington

I first saw Max Mayer's Adam at Sundance back in January. I fell in love with it there in Park City and gave it a glowing review. My quote later ended up in the trailer and I have since been mentioning it it as much as I can (to the right people) because it is certainly a film I think a few people will fall in love with. While I didn't have the chance to talk with Max Mayer while I was at Sundance, I did finally catch up with him a few weeks ago in Hollywood while he was here promoting the release of the film (which will hit limited theaters starting tomorrow). And I'm certainly glad I finally got to talk with him! Read on to watch the full interview.

Dr. Seuss Book The Lorax to Become a 3D Animated Movie

By Alex Billington

Just in case that Horton Hears a Who! movie wasn't enough, Universal has teamed up with Illumination Entertainment to adapt another Dr. Seuss book, this time The Lorax, into a 3D CGI animated feature (just like Horton). First published back in 1971, The Lorax is narrated by a greedy entrepreneur who, despite warnings from the tree-loving Lorax, strips a forest of its stock of Truffula trees to manufacture clothing. The results are catastrophic as all the animals leave and nothing's left. Universal's feature version of this will be co-directed by three different directors: Chris Renaud (Despicable Me), Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio.

Paul W.S. Anderson Adapting Peter V. Brett's The Warded Man

By Alex Billington

What is Paul W.S. Anderson butchering next? First off, he might return to direct Resident Evil: Afterlife, but after that, why not some fantasy? THR reports that Anderson and his producing partner Jeremy Bolt have picked up film rights to Peter V. Brett's fantasy novel "The Warded Man." Anderson is attached to direct and will produce with Bolt. The book is set in an "undetermined future" where mankind is beset by nightly attacks from demonkind and has been thrown into a feudal state. Three young people emerge with the potential power to turn the tide, including a man who has wards (aka spells) tattooed on his body.

Sony Adapting the inFAMOUS Video Game into a Movie

By Alex Billington

Either the video game movie trend is picking up again in the next few years, or this is just leftover news from Comic-Con. Sony Pictures has pre-emptively picked up a pitch to adapt the inFAMOUS video game into a feature film. inFAMOUS, which hit shelves last May, centers on bike messenger Cole MacGrath, who survives an explosion that destroys a large part of Empire City only to find that he has new electricity-derived super powers. The game, designed for Sony's PlayStation 3, allows the player to use his powers for good or evil, as MacGrath's karma affects how the city's people and infrastructure deal with him. Read on!

Comic-Con: Feige Hints at The Invaders in Captain America?

By Alex Billington

Yet another bit of exciting news coming out of Comic-Con that will have hardcore Marvel fanboys reeling with excitement. A few days back, we ran article with a quote from Marvel's Kevin Feige that included a basic list of who we could expect to see in The Avengers movie - but let's take a step back. One year before The Avengers hits theaters, we'll be seeing The First Avenger: Captain America, which will be set in WWII and is being directed by Joe Johnston. This comes from CHUD, where they drop a few hints about the potential appearance of two groups in Captain America: The Invaders (good guys) and Hydra (bad guys).

Robert Schwentke Directing Summit's 'Red' Comic Book Movie

By Alex Billington

Would you want to see a comic book movie directed by the guy who did Flightplan and The Time Traveler's Wife? No wait, don't answer that. It's a loaded question and I want to give Robert Schwentke the benefit of the doubt on this one. According to THR, Schwentke is in negotiations to directing Summit's big screen comic book adaptation of WildStorm's Red, written by Warren Ellis. Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman are already attached to star, with a screenplay by Whiteout's Erich and Jon Hoeber. Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian are producing. Schwentke is also attached to Conspiracy of Fools at Warner Bros.

Check This Out: Badass High Quality Ninja Assassin Poster!

By Alex Billington

This official poster for James McTeigue's Ninja Assassin was debuted by MTV during Comic-Con, but I was waiting to post it until I got a much high quality version. On top of that, I got to catch a special secret screening of the movie there, but I'm not allowed to say much about it. I will say that I loved it, I had such a great time watching it, and the action is truly badass. If you haven't watched the trailer yet, give it a shot, as you'll get a glimpse of that action I'm talking about. I'm not surprised that they're going with the cutoff head design on this, as the Wachowski Brothers did produce it, but it's still a very badass looking poster. Check it!

Theatrical Trailer for Disney's Toy Story & Toy Story 2 in 3D!

By Alex Billington

As you probably have already heard by now (if you're a Pixar fan at least), Disney is re-releasing both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 this October in 3D. Both of the movies were completely re-rendered in 3D using all of the original files and will be shown back-to-back (with a break inbetween them) in theaters for just a few weeks. Yahoo has debuted the official theatrical trailer for this double feature and it's quite fun to watch (just like the trailer for Toy Story 3). I got to see the opening scene of Toy Story 2 in 3D at Comic-Con and I will say it does look incredible and I will be watching both of these in theaters come October. Enjoy!
