'Titanic II' Trailer Hits; Yep, It's a Real Movie

The idea of a sequel to James Cameron's Titanic has been a Hollywood punchline for years; the epitome of zero creativity, sequelitis and cash-in motivations. Sadly, a studio did actually make a Titanic II. It's no longer a joke. Titanic II is very much so a real movie and it has a real trailer (unlike the dozens of fake, fan-made trailers that have emerged over the years).

Great Footage of Transformers 3 Total Destruction

You may have heard this already, but part of Michael Bay’s Transformers 3 — notably one of the big final action set pieces — will take place in the heart of downtown Chicago.

Inception continued to dominate the box office in its second weekend, earning an estimated $43.5 million from its 3,792 locations. That is a loss of only 31% over last weekend; an amazing hold attributable to the great word of mouth and repeat business Inception is inspiring. Angelina Jolie’s spy-thriller Salt placed second with an estimated $36.5 million, making this, arguably, the first week of the summer when two adult-skewing features have led the domestic box office.

Bruce Willis Talks UNBREAKABLE 2 and DIE HARD 5

Bruce Willis is a busy man at this year’s Comic-Con. In addition to stopping by The Expendables panel, he also talked to MTV about his upcoming projects, namely Die Hard 5 and the long-awaited sequel to M. Night Shyamalan’s last good movie, Unbreakable. The Unbreakable front, sadly, is bleak. Willis is eager to continue the story of David Dunn, the Philadelphia security guard who discovers his body is, well, unbreakable, but Shyamalan is a different story. According to Willis, “We’d have to hip-check Night [Shyamalan] into doing it.”

Awesome Full Trailer for Ryan Reynolds' Buried!

Because the entire movie takes place inside of the coffin, Lionsgate had to be very creative with this trailer, because they don't want to show too much of it since there's only so much that's in the movie anyway. That said, I think this is a perfect trailer to tease audiences and provide a sense of the intensity of Buried, which I can say will probably end up as one of my favorite movies of the year. Definitely watch this trailer, it's worth it!

Although we just featured the sixth billboard a few days ago in Disney's series of banners for Tron Legacy, the seventh one has made its way online already as well. Our friends at impawards debuted yet another new banner/billboard for the new Tron, this time featuring the extremely beautiful Olivia Wilde as Quorra, a "fearless warrior" who joins with Sam Flynn in the Tron world. Her disc-throwing pose looks awfully similar to the one of Garrett Hedlund. Either way, this still looks awesome and I thought it was worth featuring even though we've seen a lot of imagery from Tron recently, but it all still kicks ass!

Other (Less Shitty) Green Lantern images

Before, I saw scans of other images from Entertainment Weekly's Green Lantern article, I wanted to draw your attention that detail from the cover, which reveals GL's costume. GL's ugly, awful costume. The suit itself is a nightmare - many have already said that the striated musculature makes Lantern look like a gamma-irradiated Slim Goodbody. But what's up with this mask, which appears to be applied to Ryan Reynold's face as grease paint? Is this just a shitty PhotoShop job for the cover of the magazine or is Hal Jordan going to have his ring magic up a grease paint kit for him?

Tron Legacy Team Join Forces with Toy Story 3 Team

 

Entertainment Weekly published a great article today about how the Tron Legacy filmmakers sought out the help of some of Pixar's best and brightest for advice on improving the film after they showed them an early cut in March. Then, they actually hired Toy Story 3 writer Michael Arndt and director Brad Bird to write some of the new pages for the reshoots. The screening took place in March, they also showed it to other filmmakers in LA, and then they went in for planned reshoots in June. An absolutely brilliant idea and I think this is going to only help make it a more polished movie all around.
