Have I mentioned that I’m excited for this movie. Hopefully it delivers.
I Am Legend - The funniest movie is here. Find it
Filmdrunk.com has a link to a rumor suggesting that the upcoming Justice League of America movie might be motion captured CG (think Polar Express) rather than live action. This is terrible news. Just cast Bale and Routh and make a proper live action kick ass super-hero movie!
Motion captured CG just looks creepy, like they propped up a bunch of corpses and moved their lips to the dialog.
Confused by the phrase uncanny valley? Go here.
I’ve been hearing this horrible rumor about JP4 for a few years now - that is, that it’s going to involve the government training dinosaurs to carry weapons, and that the dinos might be some kind of intelligent genetically engineered hybrid creature or something.. well that rumor has started popping up again, and it looks like it might actually have some credibility.
Is that not the stupidest idea you’ve ever heard? Seriously, all people want to see are big ass cool looking monsters eating stuff - we don’t need corrupt army super dinosaurs with guns, we really don’t.
Though, if they threw in GIANT talking monkey pirates…
I hope so. To make a Hobbit movie without Jackson, WETA and co. would be just about the stupidest thing they could possibly do.
More ComicCon news, this time from moviesonline.ca, who bring us this newly unveiled movie poster for J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek reboot/revamp. I like the retro look with the classic Star Trek font personally.
The other big Star Trek news of the day is that it is now confirmed that Zachary Quinto (Sylar from Heroes) has been cast as Mr. Spock - great casting. Also, it is now confirmed that Leonard Nimoy will have a in the upcoming film, and William Shatner most likely will as well! As a trekkie who’s been kind of down on the franchise since ST:TNG went off the air, this is super exciting. J.J.’s doing everything right so far!
First first review is in for the Simpsons Movie, and it’s good! You can check it out here. I’ll be seeing it this weekend, and I’ll post some thoughts of my own then. In the mean time, you can head over to the movie’s official site and Simpsonize Yourself.
The Movie Blog posted this picture a little while ago. This looks great - they seem to be staying true to the “Tony’s armor keeps him alive” idea from the comics (judging from the fact that he’s wearing a piece of the armor under his shirt). I have high hopes for this one: Robert Downey Jr is great casting for Tony Stark - he’s got the rich alcoholic thing down pat.
