Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to Cast Spells in 3-D

It's getting to the point that we can pretty much assume every big blockbuster will fill an IMAX screen, go digital 3-D, or even be dashing enough to combine the two. Add another big franchise into the 3-D pile as Heat Vision reports Warner Bros will release both parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 3-D. There hasn't been an official announcement from WB, but coming from THR, this seems legitimate. It's important to note that unlike Avatar, Deathly Hallows was not shot for 3-D, but much like the select sequences from Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince, the entire film will be converted into 3-D.

Avatar Finally Passes Titanic as Highest Grossing Movie Ever

They said it would fail. They said this was impossible. They said this would never happen. But it did. James Cameron's Avatar has finally passed Titanic to become the highest grossing movie of all-time. Titanic held the record for over 12 years with a worldwide total of $1.843 billion (via Box Office Mojo). This past weekend, Avatar brought in $36 million domestically and $109 million internationally, and combined with Monday's revenues, that puts its worldwide total at $1.858 billion, just above Titanic. And the craziest part is that it's still playing very well. It's still making money and people are still seeing it. It's unstoppable!

Brandon's Sundance Experience: Time Keeps on Slippin'

Previously, on Brandon's Sundance Experience, I had not yet seen a single film at the fest. Now I've seen 22. And over the course of six days, I've slept maybe ten hours. Here in Park City, you see, sleep is a mirage. A myth. The stuff of legend. At this very moment, I'm forgoing sleep in order to write this. So, if you happen to find me face-down in a grey slush puddle somewhere in Park City, please do not wake me. I need the rest.

So what have I learned thus far at Sundance? Planning is necessary, but only two days in advance. Flexibility and patience are prerequisites for attending the fest. The volunteers are incredibly helpful. And

Alex's Sundance 2010 Review: John Stalberg's HIGH School

Ah yes, the always brilliant, always hilarious stoner comedy. So if you actually took that sentence seriously, then you probably won't like this film. Personally I'm a fan of good stoner comedies and appreciate their dumbed-down but always entertaining humor, even if everyone involves a person (or people) getting stoned and being idiots. That's what happens in John Stalberg's High School once again, but they up the ante by getting an entire high school stoned this time. And exactly as expected, it was hilarious. In fact, it's probably one of my all-time favorite stoner comedies (alongside of Half Baked and Pineapple Express among others).

New First Look Photos for Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps

"In my father's world, making a million was a ton," Oliver Stone tells USA Today in a new feature on the film. "I come back to Wall Street now, and it's not a million dollars. It's a billion dollars. And a billion is nothing. They don't even consider that the beginning of a hedge fund. That is what is amazing about the '90s and 2000s — how rich people got." Stone, who originally passed on the script for Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps, did eventually return for the sequel. "I guess the crash, which happened in the meantime, made it more interesting," Stone says about its relevance to today. Check out five new official photos below.

Gavin Hood in Talks to Direct Epic Alaskan Dog Sledding Film

If there are any plans to get Gavin Hood to return to direct a sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it's unlikely that it'll actually happen because he's going to be quite the busy guy over the next couple years. In addition to directing an upcoming TV series for Fox, THR reports Hood is negotiating to sign on to direct an adaptation of Gay and Laney Salisbury's book The Cruelest Miles: The Heroic Story of Dogs and Men in a Race Against an Epidemic, about the mind-blowing 674-mile journey undertaken by 20 men and 200 dogs who endured grueling forces of nature as they rushed a diphtheria antidote to Nome, Alaska, in 1952.

Will Ferrell Remaking 'I Do: How to Get Married and Stay Single'

Despite last summer's flop of his big budget comedy Land of the Lost, funnyman Will Ferrell is by no means discouraged. Not only will 2010 see him re-teaming with Anchorman director Adam McKay for the action comedy The Other Guys, but he also lends his voice to DreamWorks' superhero flick Megamind (formerly Oobermind). But now Ferrell is following the rest of the industry into remake territory as Pajiba says he will remake the French romantic comedy I Do: How to Get Married and Stay Single. Ferrell's only previous experience with romance that wasn't overshadowed by comedy was Stranger Than Fiction.

Brandon's Sundance 2010 Review: Adam Green's Frozen

In the same vein as thrillers like Open Water and another film here, Buried, Adam Green's Frozen is--for the most part--a one-location horror-thriller. Here's the jist: three annoying, unlikeable college kids (Kevin Zegers, Shawn Ashmore, Emma Bell) get trapped on a ski lift without the hope of rescue 'cause they were stupid enough to bribe their way onto the slopes after closing time on a Sunday when they know full well that the resort doesn't reopen until the following Friday. From there, shit happens. It usually involves the cold and its effects on unprotected skin. Sometimes it involves wolves. And one time it involves urine.

Brandon's Sundance 2010 Reviews: Documentary Edition Pt 1

When I attend a film festival, I often gravitate towards the documentaries being screened rather than the narrative features. Of course, I see tons of narratives, but I do my best to keep a high ratio of docs on my schedule for the very reason that I already see tons of narrative stories during the year anyway. It's very rare for any documentary to see a wide release. There aren't a whole lot of Michael Moores or Al Gores out there. For some really spectacular docs, they never even get a limited release. At film festivals, though, there are always a good amount of docs to choose from. This is especially true for the Sundance Film Festival.

Sundance Video Review: Taika Waititi's New Film 'Boy'

Another new Sundance video review. It's just vastly easier to record video reviews of some films, which is why we have so many of them. This time Alex talked with Peter from SlashFilm about New Zealand director Taika Waititi's new film Boy. Both Peter and I were big fans of Taika's Eagle vs Shark a few years back and had high hopes for Boy. It's a good film but I don't think it's as great as Eagle vs Shark and it runs a little long. It's got some good performances but I didn't love it. Watch the trailer for it here. If you're interested in hearing our quick thoughts on the film, watch our 4-minute video review below. And sorry it was so dark!

Check This Out: First Concept Art Image from Pixar's Cars 2

"The world's a racetrack as superstar Lightning McQueen zooms back into action to take on the globe's fastest in Cars 2, a high-octane 3D comedy." It may seem a bit early to be looking at some concept art for Pixar's Cars 2, especially because it's not due out in theaters until June 24th, 2011, but then again, this is Pixar, and it's always great to see this kind of stuff. Plus they're already hard at work on the sequel anyway. Found in Disney's Annual Shareholders Report (via Upcoming Pixar) is the first bit of concept art from the color script for Cars 2 that we've seen. Check out the new shot of Lightning racing in front of Mt. Fuji below.

Warner Brothers Interested in a New Mortal Kombat Remake

Hollywood has been going back to the well again and again with adaptations/remakes galore, however their focus has mostly been in film and books/graphic novels. But don't think for one second that the industry has forgotten about video games passed as Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that Warner Bros is apparently keen on the idea of remaking Mortal Kombat, the fighting/action film based on the popular 1992 video game. Writer Oren Uziel (whose script Shimmer Lake appeared on the lower portion of the 2009 Black List) is in talks to write. And if we have to endure it again, then there better be some damn bloody fatalities this time.
