Zombieland Writers Talk About Plans for the Sequel (in 3D)!
"There absolutely will be a sequel, and it will absolutely be in 3-D," Zombieland co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick revealed to MTV. "Now, it's just a question of what that sequel will be. It's not a question of having enough ideas, but almost having too many ideas. We have a lot of ideas!" And what might those ideas be? Let's find out! As you probably know, Reese & Wernick have quickly become two of Hollywood's hottest writers, getting hired for this sequel, the G.I. Joe sequel, and Deadpool, all in the last few months. But the focus this time is on what they're thinking about for the Zombieland sequel (in 3D) at this point.
Tron Legacy Director Joe Kosinski Talks Black Hole Remake
With the highly anticipated Tron Legacy not slated to hit theaters until this December, freshmen director Joseph Kosinski still has 11 months of hard work ahead of him before the film's release. But that didn't stop him from looking ahead to his remake of the 1979 sci-fi flick The Black Hole. Kosinksi sat down with MTV and not only revealed that Clash of the Titans writer Travis Beacham will start working on the script soon, but he also talked about the film conceptually and just how much of the original we can expect to see. One thing he made perfectly clear is that this is a straight up re-imagining of the story. Read on for more!
Stan Lee Claims Edgar Wright's Ant-Man Movie is Coming!
Oh, that sneaky Stan Lee. Or rather "Smilin Stan Lee" as he's known on Twitter. The legendary comic book maestro wrote a few tweets today about some upcoming Marvel movies. Lee wrote, after presumably having lunch with Edgar Wright, that: "Marvel is prepping a movie starring — Ant Man!" Now, we've known this for a long time, what we don't know, however, is how soon Marvel Studios wants to get the Ant-Man movie into production. I wouldn't take this as a sure sign that it's officially happening, as Stan Lee doesn't exactly work for Kevin Feige, and he's the one who makes all the decisions at Marvel Studios. But you never know?
Christopher Nolan to Shepherd a Brand New Superman Film
It was last September when Diane Nelson, head of DC Entertanment, said, "we don't have current plans behind Superman." A lot can change in five months as Deadline Hollywood has discovered, Christopher Nolan, has been asked to 'godfather' a new Superman flick. Let's be clear that he's not directing the movie (not yet anyway), but rather guiding the film in the right direction for critics and fans alike. This brand new Superman iteration won't be a sequel, or even a pseudo reboot/sequel like Superman Returns, but rather an entirely new franchise. It's about damn time Warner Brothers got the right guy to help Superman fly.
The Invaders Will Appear in Joe Johnston's Captain America
As expected, there's a lot of big Captain America news hitting the web this weekend because director Joe Johnston is finally out talking to press. In addition to all the details we learned about the movie yesterday, over at CHUD they've confirmed with Johnston himself that The Invaders, a WWII superteam that Cap and Bucky are a part of, will be in the movie, too. In fact, "they'll be in the entire second half," Johnston told them. It was first rumored last year that The Invaders might make an appearance but now we know they're officially involved. So does that mean we might see up to "nine costumed characters" in this movie total?
Watch This: Disney's New Prince of Persia Superbowl TV Spot
"The gods have a plan for you." The only other TV spot that aired during the Superbowl that wasn't already online before was for Disney's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I know everyone isn't too keen on this movie, but I'm still very excited for it, I don't know why. I loved the video game and I don't have any complaints about this (no, I don't care about Jake Gyllenhaal playing the "Persian"). And I love the reversal halfway into this TV spot. I think that may be a hint that we're going to see some big time reversal moments in this movie and I can't wait to see that. Anyway, I've said enough, check out the new Superbowl TV spot!
Watch This: Disney's Alice in Wonderland Superbowl TV Spot
Disney aired their Superbowl TV spot for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and it can be watched online below. Its got some new footage and new editing and I actually really like it. I'm still not sure if this will be that good of a movie or not (I'm honestly a bit skeptical), but I am looking forward to finally seeing it and then letting you know what I think. But if you're looking for a final boost of interest for Alice, check this out, I think a few of you may be ready to see it in theaters after watching this. Disney should have more TV spots coming during the Superbowl so stay tuned here for any more that pop up once their air. Enjoy it!
Updates on Captain America - Red Skull Confirmed as Villain
Director Joe Johnston has been out talking to press this weekend for his new movie The Wolfman and most of the discussion has ended up focusing on The First Avenger: Captain America. Johnston spoke with Collider and gave them a lot of details about the direction they're heading with the film. Additionally, ComingSoon confirmed (as did AICN) that the villain in Captain America will be Cap's arch-nemesis Red Skull, the Nazi badass whose head is just a red skull. Now this is the kind of awesome stuff that I like to hear because it's getting me very excited about seeing Johnston's Captain America movie come together.
Inception Didn't Even Make Sense to the Actors While Shooting
This isn't meant to be negative, despite that kind of misleading headline, but I like reporting on this because it keeps the mystery about Chris Nolan's Inception going. We haven't seen a new trailer for Inception since last December but we've heard more about how crazy it's going to be. Time for even more news! Leonardo DiCaprio spoke to the Inquirer.net (via SlashFilm) about upcoming films. "Both Chris and Martin are great directors. The material and its complexity are what I'm attracted to… I've been lucky to work with people who want to tell stories that hit on different cylinders simultaneously. Shutter Island is definitely that."
Chris Columbus Clueless on Gremlins 3, Talks Other Sequels
Just last month, we got wind of a somewhat unlikely, but thoroughly infuriating rumor that would bring the classic slimy 80's monsters Gremlins back to theaters in a 3-D sequel. Fortunately, ComingSoon sat down with writer/director Chris Columbus (who wrote the Gremlins script) who delivered some relief. "I spoke to Steven Spielberg a couple days ago and said, 'You know, I've been reading on the internet about this Gremlins 3-D' and no one's approached him either, so I don't know if that's really true." However, Columbus was slightly more open to the possibilities of sequels to The Goonies, and even Mrs. Doubtfire as well.
Five Badass New Posters & Banners for Clash of the Titans!
I thought we'd seen everything for this already! Apparently not. UGO has debuted five new incredibly badass (and gorgeous) banners and posters for Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans remake, hitting theaters (in 3D) in a little less than two months. I already really liked the original two posters they put out for this, but these are the cream of the crop. They look awesome and I'm already dying to get a few to put up on my walls for some epic decoration. The only thing is I'm not too keen on using the Kraken as center of the marketing campaign. He looks badass, but don't ruin that part of the movie by showing him too much. So take a look!
Daredevil Reboot Confirmed, David Scarpa Writing New Script
Another day, another reboot. Hero Complex has confirmed that Fox / New Regency is moving forward with a Daredevil reboot, hiring screenwriter David Scarpa (The Last Castle, The Day the Earth Stood Still) to work on a new script. No director has been named yet nor have they started casting, so there's not much to go on yet. But they do say this: "Those familiar with the reboot say that the new project would give Scarpa latitude to reinterpret plot points and character nuance." I'm glad he's changing it up a bit, maybe we'll get a better movie this time? I didn't hate the first Daredevil, but it's one of my least favorite superhero movies.
Awesome: Buy Life-Size Replicas of the District 9 Weapons!
There's a reason why Weta Workshop is one of the best special effects companies in the world! Courtesy of SlashFilm we've discovered that Peter Jackson's Weta Workshop out of New Zealand is selling life-size replicas of the alien weapons from Neill Blomkamp's District 9. No, they aren't actually operable, but even if they were, you don't have any alien DNA so you couldn't fire them. "PLEASE NOTE: Unless your genetic makeup is part prawn, you cannot power up or fire this gun." They're also pretty damn expensive (since they are life-size) coming in at around $500 a piece. But damnit, these are freakin' awesome, I really want one!
Watch This: Brand New Red Band for Kevin Smith's Cop Out
You ready for this? MySpace has debuted a brand new red band trailer for Kevin Smith's Cop Out. Don't put this on if you're at work or you may get in trouble - this is some good profanity in this! They even make a joke about an "Unfuckables" porno in this, oh man, gotta love the humor. I know this isn't written by Kevin Smith, but it definitely has his feeling to it, and I'm totally into it. (Although my only complaint is they ruin that joke at the end, but oh well.) I'm guessing most other people aren't into this, based on the reaction from the first trailer, but I don't know. Hopefully this trailer gets you re-interested? We'll see soon - check it out!
Indie Dates: Shinjuku Incident Friday, Leaves of Grass in April
I thought I'd highlight two upcoming independent films today which now have release dates. First up, The Playlist has learned that First Look Pictures is releasing Tim Blake Nelson's Leaves of Grass starring double Edward Nortons (watch the trailer). They've slated it for release on April 2nd. Secondly, thanks to a post on Twitch, we've also learned that Shinjuku Incident, the gritty R-rated gangster movie from Hong Kong starring Jackie Chan (watch the trailer), is hitting this this weekend on February 5th. Visit their website for theater listings in California, Georgia, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Washington.
