Fantastic New 'Rango' Featurette with Johnny Depp

Paramount has released a new behind the scenes featurette called “natural acting experience” from Gore Verbinski’s Rango.  Unlike most animated movies which feature the actors delivering their dialogue alone, Verbinski had the entire cast acting out the scenes like a play, which I’m sure led to a lot of discovery with the script and many improvised moments.  I wonder if the Blu-ray release will feature a split screen so you can see the animated scenes next to the actors recording the dialogue.  Trust me, the way they captured Rango is as radical a process for animation as I have ever seen.  You definitely want to check out this feturette.

Inception Featurette aiming for The Oscars

 

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight was shut out of the 2008 Oscar race for Best Picture, but with ten slots available for the 2010 nominees, it’s looking likely that his critically-acclaimed box office smash Inception will be getting a nomination.  However, since there are still only five slots for Best Director, there are really only five nominees for Best Picture and then five honorable mentions.  Warner Bros. wants to get Inception on the short list and so they’ve released a “new” behind-the-scenes featurette for the film.  It’s mostly EPK (electronic press kit) footage, but the beginning and end of the featurette are new.  This isn’t so much to encourage people to see the movie (chances are you already have), but to remind Awards voters that Nolan made a remarkable picture.  While all the momentum seems to currently be behind The Social Network, it’s still early enough for other contenders to garner favor.

Hit the jump to check out the featurette.

'Toy Story 3' Oscar Campaign Ads!

Despite the efforts of literally only a few of reviewers, Toy Story 3 has become the most universally praised film of the year. With a 99% rating at Rotten Tomatoes, it seems like you'd be hard pressed to find someone who didn't love the heartfelt goodbye to Andy's Toys. While Toy Story 3 is almost a surefire winner for Best Animated Film at the Academy Awards, Pixar is shooting for the moon this time. Several Oscar campaign ads have surfaced showing that Pixar wants the sequel follow in the footsteps of Beauty and the Beast and Up to become another animated film nominated for Best Picture. But this time they actually want to win!

New Image and Poster of 'The Smurfs' Invasion of New York City

Though we've already seen a teaser trailer giving us our first look at the CG animated versions of the classic blue cartoons in Sony Pictures Animation's adaptation of The Smurfs in 3D, now two more images give us a glimpse of the characters as they invade NYC. While the first image only featured one recognizable Smurf (Papa Smurf voiced by Jonathan Winters), this new one sees the elder Smurf joined by Smurfette (Katy Perry), Grouchy Smurf (George Lopez), Gutsy Smurf (Alan Cumming), Brainy Smurf (Fred Armisen) and Clumsy Smurf (Anton Yelchin). In addition, there's also a brand new teaser poster you can see below!

Daft Punk Talks About Their Experience With TRON: LEGACY

Shrouded in mystery, the helmeted French techno-pop duo known as Daft Punk have been creating some serious buzz in the scene of electronic dance music since the early 90’s. They’ve won Grammy Awards, created fusions of techno and rock, helped evolve the raving subculture, and maintained a serious dedication to helmet hair whenever in the public eye (…not sure if they shower with them too, but I would never doubt it). And now with the release of Tron: Legacy and their subsequent film-scoring debut, they are truly at the top of their game.

First Official Teaser Poster for Battle: Los Angeles

Isn't it a little late for something like a teaser poster? ComingSoon has revealed the first official poster for Jonathan Liebesman's exciting new alien invasion movie Battle: Los Angeles starring Aaron Eckhart and a young platoon of Marines. We've seen the badass trailers for this and know what to expect (Black Hawk Down with aliens) but this poster seems like something we should've seen six months ago before any trailers or anything. Now it just seems kind of boring when we already know the action this has in it. Cool imagery, but come on, this is it? I hope we see more cool posters for Battle: Los Angeles soon. Check it out!

Full Theatrical Trailer for 'Rango' + New Poster

Yeehaw! Paramount has debuted the second full theatrical trailer on Yahoo for Gore Verbinski's Rango, the upcoming animated comedy starring Johnny Depp as a chameleon named Rango. As fantastic as that first teaser looked earlier in the summer, this one is so much better and shows us so much more of the story this time around. More actors providing voices in this include: Bill Nighy, Timothy Olyphant, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin, Alfred Molina and Ray Winstone. This really looks wonderful, the animation, the story, the Fear & Loathing-ness of Depp's character, it all looks great, I truly can't wait to see it. Check out the trailer below!

First 'Fast Five' Trailer with Vin Diesel & Dwayne Johnson

Universal has debuted the first trailer for Justin Lin's Fast Five, the fifth movie in their insanely successful Fast and the Furious franchise of high speed, high octane, highly mediocre movies. Vin Diesel premiered the trailer on his own Facebook and it's packed with plenty of TNA, lots of explosions, and more suped up cars than you can throw a stick at, as expected. As we also know, this stars Dwayne Johnson as well as Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris. I'm not really into this franchise at all, but that's just me.

New Trailers for BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY, UNCHARTED 3, MASS EFFECT 3, Guillermo Del Toro’s INSANE, and More

Last night was the Video Game Awards and with the ceremony came the debut of trailers for some of the hottest upcoming video games.  Among the new trailers, I was most excited to see a new sneak peek at Batman: Arkham City, the sequel to the incredible Batman: Arkham Asylum.  The trailer didn’t really show any new gameplay, but it did introduce us to one of the game’s main villains, Dr. Hugo Strange (who might also be a villain in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises).  There were also cool trailers for Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Resistance 3, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Portal 2, Prototype 2, SSX: Deadly Decents, Forza Motorsport 4, Mortal Kombat, and Thor: God of Thunder.  

There was also a teaser trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming horror game, Insane, which unfortunately isn’t due out until 2013.

Pixar’s Cars 2 Early Review

 I love Pixar. But the one film in the entire Pixar catalog that I don’t love (not to say that I don’t like it, it’s just a few steps below the rest) is Cars. To me, it almost feels like one of the movies Dreamworks Animation had produced at that point of time. And if it weren’t for the heart of the storyline, I probably would’ve enjoyed it a lot less.

The film wasn’t considered a huge box office success, grossing $461,981,604 worldwide — less than Pixar films of previous years like Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc, The Incredibles, Finding Nemo (which in comparison made $867.8 million worldwide). But the merchandising for the film has brought in billions in sales, which is why Disney green lit a sequel and began construction on a huge CarsLand expansion of the Disney California Adventure theme park.

But now someone claims to have screened an early cut of the film, and has posted a review online. What did they think? Find out after the jump.

Teaser Trailer for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON

Damn I can't believe another one of these movies is almost here already! Paramount has released the first teaser trailer for Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon and it’s extremely well cut and a great teaser.  While many studios love to reveal too much in their trailers and sometimes even in their teaser trailers, this is a perfect example of how to sell your movie without giving it all away.  Also, I love the way it works in a huge moment from the late 60’s and makes it connect with the universe of Transformers.  I don’t want to spoil it…
