'The Bodyguard' Returning to the Big Screen for 20th Anniversary

The Bodyguard

Films like Star Wars, Back to the Future and The Godfather have returned to the big screen for various anniversaries to celebrate their legacy and let fans, both old and new, relive or experience for the first time, what it was like to see those films in theaters. While re-releases like that are certainly about the experience, they also usually make perfect business sense for studios looking to make a little extra money for a film they already have completed and where there is no risk involved. Such is the case, but even in a more exploitative way, as The Wrap reports The Bodyguard, starring the late Whitney Houston, will return to theaters.

Sony Hosting Early 'Amazing Spider-Man' Preview Events Coming Up

The Amazing Spider-Man

Are you ready for the "Untold Story"? While, yes that makes no sense at all, Sony is really pushing hard to keep this tagline at the forefront of their marketing for The Amazing Spider-Man. I just hope it doesn't backfire. Although we're well in 2012 now, things have been very, very quiet in terms of Marc Webb's new Spider-Man, without new footage or marketing since the trailer from July and that shadow teaser poster. But that's all about to change, as ComingSoon reports that Sony is hosting worldwide "preview events" in two weeks, on Monday, February 6th, in 2 big cities in the US (NY/LA) and 11 others around the world.

Animation Oscar Nom 'Rango' Getting Small Los Angeles Re-Release

Rango

In light of the Best Animated Film Academy Awards nomination it just received this morning, Paramount Pictures is re-releasing Gore Verbinski's Rango in just one theater in Los Angeles starting this weekend. Unfortunately for those not in L.A., this just seems like a bit of an industry pick-up and chance for people to catch Rango in theaters again. Rango, starring Johnny Depp as the voice of the chameleon Rango, will play for a one week limited engagement at the Arclight Hollywood beginning this Friday, January 27th. Since Pixar's film this year wasn't that great, other animated flicks like this are getting time in the spotlight.

FilmDistrict Re-Releasing 'Drive' with Albert Brooks Q&A at Arclight

Albert Brooks

"I think this is gone on long enough." Now it's FilmDistrict's turn to put their big Oscar potential in the spotlight. Although Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive is my favorite film of 2011, the one actor who has the best chance at getting an Oscar nom is Albert Brooks, who stars as mobster Bernie Rose. He was already nominated for a Golden Globe, but they want to go all the way. So FilmDistrict is "re-releasing" Drive back into the Arclight Hollywood theater for a brief one-week engagement, beginning this Friday, January 6th. Brooks himself will be in attendance for a Q&A on Friday night. Sounds great if you're in the LA area.
