Dawn Treader & Gulliver's Travels Go 3-D, But for How Long?

Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

When you hear rumors about a blockbuster heading into the third dimension, you pretty much accept it as fact. But ComingSoon went and confirmed the recent rumors that Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Gulliver's Travels will both be in 3-D. The third journey into Narnia, directed by Michael Apted, will be released on December 10th while the Jack Black-led fantasy-comedy adaptation of Jonathan Swift's famous novel will hit theaters December 22nd. However, with the plethora of 3-D releases hitting theaters this holiday season, just how much will the box office, or for that matter, audiences, benefit?

Awesome A Nightmare on Elm Street 'Interruption' TV Spots

By Alex Billington

I'm not sure how many people watch MTV on a regular basis, but I'm guessing there's not a lot on here. So these new TV spots should be exciting to see because they were made for them and I don't think that many people have seen these yet. Click 3X was hired to create three new TV spots for the upcoming A Nightmare on Elm Street remake that "interrupt" the promo that's being aired with a really creative and often creepy transition that flows right into the TV spot then resume back into the promo like nothing happened. These are actually pretty awesome and the second one is the best. I've included all three below, so check them out!

Millar Says Wanted 2 Will Get New Characters to Continue On

By Alex Billington

A couple of weeks back it was reported that Angelina Jolie was "ditching" the Wanted sequel to supposedly move on to Alfonso Cauron's new sci-fi project Gravity (even though it turns out she's no longer attached to that). Some reports were saying this might mean the death of that sequel, but author Mark Millar recently spoke with MTV and confirmed that Universal and director Timur Bekmambetov are planning to move on without Jolie and put together the film anyway with a new character from the comic book in place of Jolie. "What they're talking about is just moving on with the story and doing it properly," Millar said. Read on!

Disney's Maleficent Gets a Writer, Tim Burton Still Interested

By Ethan Anderton

Disney has stayed on top of the box office three weeks in a row with Tim Burton's twisted take on Alice in Wonderland. Back in January, it seemed like Burton might not be done with Disney properties yet, as we heard that the gothic filmmaker was interested in Maleficent, live-action take on the evil queen in the 1959 animated classic Sleeping Beauty. But with recent announcements of his involvement on Frankenweenie and The Addams Family, it seemed like it was only a flight of fancy. However Heat Vision reports Burton is still circling the project and Disney has brought Wonderland writer Linda Woolverton to script it. Read on!

Will Smith's Next Either Men in Black 3 or The City That Sailed

By Ethan Anderton

It's kind of hard to believe that the last film with superstar Will Smith in it was Seven Pounds, which was released in December of 2008. The blockbuster king hasn't been taking much of a break though, he's been producing films like The Karate Kid starring his son Jaden Smith through his Overbrook Films production banner instead. However, it looks like sooner than later, Smith will finally be making a decision as to what his next acting role will be as Variety reports that the actor has narrowed down his potential projects to the blockbuster sequel Men in Black 3 and a whimsical sort of family project titled The City That Sailed.

The Daily Show's Jon Stewart Buys Maziar Bahari's Life Rights

By Alex Billington

This is awesome news! Pajiba is reporting that The Daily Show host/political comedian extraordinaire Jon Stewart has bought the "life rights" of Iranian-Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari to adapt into a feature film, although no writer and director is on-board yet. Didn't think Stewart was into feature films? Neither did I. Apparently he helps run a production company called Busboy Productions that will be producing the project with Rich Korson. It's currently untitled, but will likely tell Bahari's imprisonment and interrogation story from last year that was, apparently, brought on no thanks to a segment on Stewart's show previously.

Details Emerge on James L. Brooks' Film 'How Do You Know'

By Ethan Anderton

We've only heard a few details about James L. Brooks upcoming film How Do You Know, as it has now been officially titled, as well as brief snippets of information in various casting updates. All we know is that the film focuses on a love triangle between Paul Rudd, a white collar exec and Owen Wilson, a professional baseball player who both find themselves smitten with Reese Witherspoon, a woman suffering from a major break-up who comes from a sports crazy family. But NY Times just ran a more extensive profile on the film which is a little more forthcoming with details on the project that's been finished shooting since last year.

Kevin Smith's Political Horror Film 'Red State' Shooting in July

By Alex Billington

We thought we would never hear about this again, because it sounded like it was never going to happen. And we thought the $18.2 million opening of Cop Out wasn't a good thing. But apparently we were wrong. Kevin Smith has announced, via his Twitter, that his political horror film Red State will start shooting this July. "Took nearly three years, but we're finally gonna roll on Red," Smith wrote earlier today. "I talk about lots of stuff I wanna do that either happens years later or never happens at all. Happy to report Red State is not the latter." In a Twitter reply to another user, Smith also mentions: "Happily, Cop Out helped on lots of levels."

This Week on Netflix Instant: Julie & Julia, Iron Giant & More

By Ethan Anderton

It looks like it will be two weeks in a row with a less than stellar line-up of new releases on Netflix Instant this week. Don't worry though because they're not slowing down adding titles, but it rather looks like they're gearing up for a huge influx of new titles being added the last week of March and first week of April. Still, there are a couple great new releases this week, and to round things out, I've went ahead and tossed in a few more choices from my own queue as well. A couple indies, a documentary, an Academy Award nominated performance from last year and more in this week's installment. So what should you be watching this week?

Zack Snyder on That 300 Prequel and a 300 3D Re-Release?

By Alex Billington

I'm sorry for mentioning 300 twice in our headline, but there really is twice the 300 news in this one post! SuperHeroHype spoke with director Zack Snyder last week at ShoWest and got an interesting update out of him about the 300 prequel that we know Frank Miller is writing titled Xerxes and also about a potential re-release of 300 in 3D. Warner Bros converted a section of the film to 3D to show how good it looked and now they want to convert the whole thing. "I saw maybe like a ten-minute section [of 300] that they'd just done," Zack told them. "I haven't seen the whole movie but they're talking about doing the whole movie."

Sony Animation Bringing CGI Popeye Movie to the Big Screen

By Alex Billington

Late last year, we wrote about former Marvel exec Avi Arad picking up the rights to bring Popeye to the big screen. Although it's not much of an update, Variety has confirmed that Sony Pictures Animation will be animating and bringing the spinach-eating sailor Popeye to the big screen in an all-CGI animated movie. Mike Jones (of only The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break screenplay) landed the job of writing the script, but no director has been chosen yet. "I'm an unabashed, lifelong Popeye fan," said Jones. "Introducing this squinty-eyed sailor to a new generation also means reintroducing him to those who grew up with him."
