Snow White and the Huntsman 2012

Snow White and the Huntsman Movie

Storyline

In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen.

As evidenced by the title, this new take on the fairy tale sees an expanded role for the Huntsman. In the original story, he is ordered to take Snow White into the woods and kill her, but instead lets her go. Here, the two are chained together for part of the movie as they make their escape.

The Huntsman is not a love interest (fear not, the prince is still in the story) but acts more as a mentor, teaching the teen girl to fight and survive.

The next year or so we will be saturated with ‘Snow White’ as this film is one of three to hit the cinema. Kirsten Stewart, who has starred in many movies but best known as Bella, in the popular ‘Twilight’ films, will be playing Snow White with Charlize Theron who has also starred in lots of films, too many to mention all of them but some are; ‘15 minutes’ (2001), Hancock (2008), ‘The Road’ (2009) and Prometheus (2012), and “The Evil Queen”. The Huntsman will be played by Chris Hemsworth who played Thor in the 2011 film ‘Thor’ and again as Thor in the film The Avengers (2012).

In this film, ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ there is a twist to the orginal fairy story, the Huntsman becomes Snow White’s hero and companion in the fight against the Evil Queen . Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is just one of many of the folklore stories written by the Brothers Grimm. The Grimm’s fairy tales were dark stories in character but over the years they have become more ‘child friendly’. Walt Disney is well known for taking the various fairy tales and making them into the Walt Disney classics that each new generation of children watch and love. In 1937, Snow White was the first of the Grimm ‘s fairy tales produced by Walt Disney.

It was the first Walt Disney Animated Classic feature in colour and the first animated feature made in America’s film history. The very first film of Snow White was made as a silent movie in 1902 and it was the first of many of the Grimm fairy tales to reach the big screen. The Brothers Grimm were German, their names are Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859).

They were a couple of very interesting brothers they were academics and linguists and the book ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ was a collection of folklore that they had gathered whilst doing cultural research. An interesting fact; the Brothers Grimm started compiling the very first German dictionary. Being one of the most important dictionaries, it is also known as The Grimm Dictionary finished in 1961.

Snow White and the Huntsman Movie

Director Rupert Sanders will helm Snow White and The Huntsman for Universal: it's a new take on the classic fairy tale, the script is written by Evan Daugherty. The cast includes Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth. The release date of Snow White and The Huntsman is set for June 1, 2012.

In this new Snow White, its a somewhat darker twist on the legendary tale. This time around Snow White (Kristen Stewart) and the seven dwarfs, look to reclaim their destroyed kingdom. Kristen Stewart is the new Snow White…. and the evil Queen (Julia Roberts) steals control of a kingdom, and Snow White enlists the help of seven dwarfs to get back her birthright. Notice how the I said ‘dwarfs’ and not ‘little people’?

Because Hollywood is taking the word ‘dwarfs’ out of the title, so they don’t offend.. well.. dwarfs. Seems crazy. What other movie titles should we change to make sure we don’t hurt peoples feelings?

Snow White 2012 also stars Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the object of their affection, Prince Andrew Alcott, and Nathan Lane (The Birdcage) as the hapless servant to the Queen.
Charlize Theron (The Evil Queen), Chris Hemsworth (The Huntsman) and Sam Claflin (Prince Charmant) have been confirmed, and yes.. Kristen Stewart is the new Snow White.

Mare Winningham (Brothers) as Baker Margaret, Michael Lerner (Elf) as Baron, Robert Emms (War Horse) as Renbock, and Mark Povinelli (Water for Elephants), Jordan Prentice (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle), Danny Woodburn (Watchmen), Sebastian Saraceno (Bedtime Stories), Ronald Lee Clark (Epic Movie), Martin Klebba (Pirates of The Caribbean) and Joey Gnoffo (The Benchwarmers) as the Seven Dwarfs.

Plot:

"Based on the legendary fairy tale, 'Snow White and the Hunstman' follows the princess after the evil queen Ravenna calls for her death, centering on the huntsman who disobeys orders and allows the fair maiden to live. The updated story will break from convention by having the huntsman mentor and train Snow White to fight off Ravenna herself."

“In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) ordered to take Snow White (Kristen Stewart) into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen (Charlize Theron).”

Why is Kristen Stewart wearing an armor? Is this Snow White or Joan of Arc?

The film is starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin, Chris Hemsworth, Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Graham, Ray Winstone, Lily Cole, and Sam Spruell. It will be released in theaters on June 1, 2012.

Movie Cast:

• - Kriesten Stewart in the title role as Snow White
• - Chris Hemsworth as the titular huntsman
• - Charlize Theron as the evil queen Ravenna

I'm really impatient to see how the movie Snow White and the Huntsman is going to turn out. With such talented cast, there's indeed hope for a great movie.
Anyway, more information about the movie Snow White and the Huntsman as soon as details emerge.

Pirates Movie 2012

Pirates Movie

Storyline

Pirate Captain (Grant) sets out on a mission to defeat his rivals, Black Bellamy (Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Hayek),for the Pirate of the year Award. The quest takes the Captain and his crew from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London.

Hugh Grant, starring in his first animated role, is the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain – a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award.

It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they battle a diabolical queen (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a haplessly smitten young scientist (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!

Pirates Trailer

The first official movie trailer of The Pirates Band of Misfits aka The Pirates In An Adventure With Scientists has been released online by Aardman Animation, watch it below: Aardman Animation did a hell of job, can't wait to see the Pirates movie!
Let’s watch the first official movie trailer of The Pirates Band of Misfits (US title), the upcoming stop-motion animated movie by Aardman (the guys who brought us Wallace and Gromit):

Pirates Movie

Aardman Animations is working on a new animated movie titled Pirates. The film is based on "The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists", a novel by Gideon Defoe. Director Peter Lord (who co-directed Chicken Run) is in charge of the project. The Pirates movie will be released on September 21, 2012.

Director Peter Lord shared those pictures (set pictures and pages of his notebook) via his twitter account:
The Pirates have released their 2012 schedule, which begins with a three-game series at home against the Philadelphia Phillies Thursday, April 5.

The Pirates also play home series against the St. Louis Cardinals and Colorado Rockies in April.

Interleague play begins in May with a three-game series at the Detroit Tigers. The Kansas City Royals, Minnesota Twins and Tigers all visit PNC Park in June, and the Pirates go on the road to play the Baltimore Orioles and Cleveland Indians.

The Pirates have a three-game home series against the Houston Astros ending on July 4 and finish the first half at home against the San Francisco Giants before the All-Star break begins July 9. They begin the second half on the road against the Milwaukee Brewers and will spend the trade deadline, July 31, in Chicago against the Cubs.

They play 11 consecutive home games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers in August. They finish the season with a three-game home series against the Atlanta Braves ending Wednesday, Oct. 3.

Plot:

"Hugh Grant, starring in his first animated role, is the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain – a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award.

It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they do battle with the pirate-hating Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a young Charles Darwin (David

Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!"

“A hapless band of pirates compete for the Pirate of the Year award.”

The film is also titled The Pirates In An Adventure With Scientists in overseas market, here’s the international trailer of The Pirates, it’s quite different from the US trailer:

“Hugh Grant, starring in his first animated role, is the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain – a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award.

Along the way they do battle with the pirate-hating Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a young Charles Darwin (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!”

“The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists” is Aardman’s most ambitious stop-motion film to date. They’re using the same beautiful hand-crafted technique that the company brought to the film Wallace and Gromit. The film is directed by Peter Lord and Jeff Newitt based on a script by Gideon Defoe. The release date is set for March 30, 2012.

I'm impatient to see the whole thing will turn out!

Hotel Transylvania 2012

Hotel Transylvania Movie

Storyline

Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's (Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free from meddling from the human world. But here's a little known fact about Dracula: he is not only the Prince of Darkness; he is also a dad.

Over-protective of his teenage daughter, Mavis, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to dissuade her adventurous spirit. As a haven for Mavis, he opens the Hotel Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world's most famous monsters - Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more - can kick back in safety and peace. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem - but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.

Dracula, who operates a high-end resort away from the human world, goes into overprotective mode when a boy discovers the resort and falls for the count's teen-aged daughter.
"Hotel Transylvania" is about a group of classic monsters including Frankenstein, the Mummy, Dracula and the Werewolf who are hiding out in a hotel on the outskirts of Transylvania now that 21st century technology has seemingly made them irrelevant.

When 21st century technology renders a group of classic monsters frightfully ineffective, Dracula, the Mummy, Frankenstein, and the Wolf Man all retreat to the sanctuary of a remote Transylvania hotel in this family-friendly release from Sony Pictures Animation.

HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA MOVIE

Hotel Transylvania is an upcoming animated movie directed by Jill Culton for Sony Pictures Animation. The film is based on a script by Don Rhymer. It will be released in theaters on September 21, 2012. Here's a first official plot synopsis of Hotel Transylvania:

Samurai Jack's Genndy Tartakovsky directs this animated tale concerning a hotel where monsters such as Dracula (Adam Sandler), Quasimodo (David Spade), Frankenstein (Kevin James), and his bride (Fran Drescher), along with a host of others, head to relax from a world full of humans. When a young man (Andy Samberg) stumbles onto the resort and falls for Drac's teenage daughter, comedy hijinks ensue. Cee Lo Green, Steve Buscemi, and Molly Shannon co-star. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Plot Of Hotel Transylvania:

“Frankenstein, the Mummy, Dracula, and the Werewolf are among a group of monsters hiding out in a hotel on the outskirts of Transylvania now that modern technology has made them seemingly irrelevant.
Simon Van Helsing, the youngest in a long line of monster hunters. The last thing Van Helsing wants to do is fall in love with Dracula’s Daughter, Mavis. Upon discovering that they are natural enemies, the doomed couple attempts to bring peace between monsters and humans. In the end, each family will have some new blood.”

The movie Hotel Transylvania is directed by Jill Culton. It will be released in theaters in September 2012.

TED 2012

TED Movie

Storyline

A story centered on a man and his teddy bear, which comes to life as the result of a childhood wish.

Time to move over Adam Sandler and Judd Apatow, there is a new comedy genius about to make his movie debut.

Ted is Seth McFarlane’s (Family Guy/American Dad) upcoming directorial debut where he will direct Mila Kunis (Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Adam Scott (Step Brothers), and Mark Walhberg. The R-rated comedy is currently budgeted at $65 million and will star Walhberg as a Boston man whose childhood stuffed animal/best friend has come to life and still continues to live with him 25 years later. McFarlane, who also co-wrote the film, will be voicing and providing the motion capture performance for the swearing, pot smoking, and delinquent teddy bear.

Kunis is reported to be playing Walhberg’s girlfriend, who “wants their relationship to move to the next level and finally has enough of him living with his best friend Ted.” The always great Adam Scott will be playing her boss, who she turns to for comfort.

TED is all about big ideas. Conference talks cover a wide spectrum of topics and styles, and have historically been given by some of the world’s most well-known personalities and brightest thinkers like Bill Gates or Al Gore. If there’s a negative blip on TED’s radar, which is arguable, it’s been maybe a bit of an elitist reputation—the notion that it’s put on by smart people, for smart people, and the masses are not invited. But now, with a new contest called “Full Spectrum,” TED aims to open up the speaker floor at the 2012 conference to at least one relative unknown.

That’s right, TED is accepting auditions for speakers. The 2012 conference theme will be “Full Spectrum,” which is their way of highlighting the “technologies, formats, and styles to make an impact on an audience.” In other words… they’re looking for speakers and presentations that stretch the traditional conference-speaker format into new territory.

Plot:

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane brings his boundary-pushing brand of humor to the big screen for the first time as writer, director and voice star of Ted. In the live action/CG-animated comedy, he tells the story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish…and has refused to leave his side ever since.

Mark Wahlberg plays a perfectly normal Boston native whose childhood wish for his teddy bear to come to life comes true. The bear (Ted) — voiced by MacFarlane himself — remains his best friend well into his adult years. Conflict emerges when Ted’s irresponsible and vulgar slacker lifestyle comes in the way of his attempt to embrace his adulthood and the woman of his dreams, played by Mila Kunis. MacFarlane’s directorial debut will be a live-action effort with the exception of the computer-animated Ted. MacFarlane wrote the screenplay alongside his Family Guy colleagues Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild.

"The story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear (Seth MacFarlane) who came to life as the result of a childhood wish… and has refused to leave his side ever since."

Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis have been spotted on the set of the movie Ted:
I'm addicted to the Family Guy TV show. So I'm quite impatient to see Seth MacFarlane's new film. I bet Ted will a damn naughty teddy bear: he will make us laugh out loud for sure. But am not so sure about Mark Wahlberg being cast: he isn't a funny guy... well, I guess it will highlight Seth MacFarlane's humor even more.
Anyway, more information about the movie Ted as soon as details emerge.

Ted Trailer

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane will bring his boundary-pushing brand of humor to the big screen for the first time as writer and director of Ted. It's an upcoming comedy movie blending live action and CGI animation (similar to Alvin and the Chipmunks). The cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel McHale and Seth MacFarlane as Ted. The film is scheduled for a releaseon July 13, 2012.

Ice Age 4 2012

Ice Age 4 Movie

StoryLine:

20th Century Fox has officially announced Ice Age 4 is moving forward and it’ll get released on July 13, 2012. Tentatively titled Ice Age: Continental Drift, the 3D animated movie was a given after the third film, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, made almost $900 million at the worldwide box office.

In fact, while some sequels make less than the previous film, each Ice Age installment has made more money than the one before. The original Ice Age made $383 million (worldwide), Ice Age: The Meltdown made $655 (worldwide), and I’ve already said the last one almost $900 million. That’s a staggering amount of money for a third film.

The other interesting note is the Ice Age movies have been getting released every three years since 2002. Using simple math, it’s safe to assume Ice Age 5 will hit theaters in 2015.
Ice Age 4: Continental Drift is the fourth entry in the Ice Age series, which will continue the zany adventures of the prehistoric animals.

Not a ton of details have been released yet, but it appears the characters will all be frozen solid in the past and thawed out in the present, and live in a museum in the present day.
You know what would be really funny? If it were scientifically accurate and the animals were thawed out and were dead.

Co-director of the last Ice Age film, Mike Thurmeier, will return, and this time work alongside Steve Martino on the new film. Martino last directed Horton Hears a Who! So you know he’s the best ever.

Michael Berg and Mike Reiss return to script the new film, so the quality overall looks to be pretty consistent.

Ice Age 4

Another "Ice Age" movie is heading to theaters in the next few years. 20th Century Fox has just announced that they are making the fourth film which is tentatively titled "Ice Age: Continental Drift".

This upcoming animation is slated for summer release, scheduled to arrive in U.S. theaters on July 13, 2012. Following the success of several 3-D movies lately, Fox plans to apply the same technology for the next "Ice Age" film.

Little has been known about the project beside the points mentioned above. No official plot synopsis has been released for the movie and the studio has not announced who will direct it.

"Ice Age: Continental Drift" will serve as a follow-up to 2009 "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs", which sees Manny, Diego and other members of their gang embarking on a mission to rescue Sid from a tropical lost world inhabited by dinosaurs beneath the ice. The third "Ice Age" film was named the second highest grossing animated film of all time with $884 million worldwide.

There is still no official confirmation as of today, but you can bet that a new Ice Age movie sequel is being planned by Blue Sky Studios and 20th Century Fox. And actually some plot details of Ice Age 4 may have already leaked online!

Ain't It Cool News manage to get their hands not only on what could be the premise of Ice Age 4, but also on a possible title! According to them Ice Age 4 would be titled Ice Th4w, a pun on Ice Age Thaw and Ice Age 4, and here's the plot:
it seems a fourth Ice Age film has been well underway or the past few months. A friend of mine says the 4th installment sees Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie and Scrat frozen solid and accidentally defrosted in a museum in present day.

At this stage the film is being called 'Ice Age Th4w'."

I've mixed feeling about this plot of Ice Age 4... It would probably make for a really funny movie, and I can definitely imagine Scrat the squirrel going nuts for hazel praline chocolate. But I would be sad if our friends from the Ice Age were stuck in our time... I hope that thanks to some plot twist our furry heroes would manage to go back in time and avoid their4 frozen fate. Maybe thanks to some alien time travel machine? It wouldn't be so far fetched, we did see a UFO in the first film after all!

Besides they definitely need to go back to the Ice Age so the franchise can continue! And you can't separate the young Peach from her father!

So please, do bring Ice Age 4, but if the plot above is real, I beg you to allow our friend to go back in time to the Ice Age with their families.

Fox also announced that Scrat is getting its own short film, titled Scrat’s Continental Crack Up, it will be shown in front of Gulliver’s Travels, beginning December 25, 2010. The special holiday treat sees Scrat still scrambling after the cursed acorn he’s been craving since the first Ice Age film. Only this time, the chase has world-changing consequences. Forget what you’ve learned in geology about the continents forming as a result of massive tectonic shifts and volcanic eruptions tearing land masses apart. Scrat’s Continental Crack Up reveals that these seismic crack-ups came about from Scrat’s nutty misadventures!

Update 2 – The full short film is now available online for us to watch:

We now have a release date for Ice Age 4: the film will be released on July 3, 2012. Fox and Blue Sky even revealed the title: “Ice Age Continental Drift”. I guess it means that the idea of bringing the Ice Age team to present day has been tossed away, at least for now. Wondering what continental drift is? Here’s a short definition:

Continental drift is the movement of the Earth’s continents relative to each other. The hypothesis that continents ‘drift’ was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596 and was fully developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. However, it was not until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s, that a sufficient geological explanation of that movement was found.
Looks like our friends from the Ice Age will embark on a new journey. Are they going to be separated by the oceans because of continental drift?

ICE AGE 4 MOVIE

A tipster contacted AICN and told them that a fourth Ice Age movie is being planned! Here’s the most interesting part:

“Even though Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs hasn’t even hit theaters yet, it seems a fourth Ice Age film has been well underway or the past few months. A friend of mine says the 4th installment sees Manny, Sid, Diego, Ellie and Scrat frozen solid and accidentally defrosted in a museum in present day.
At this stage the film is being called ‘Ice Age Th4w’.”

I’d love this see this plot carried out! And I like the pun in the title Ice Age Thaw: our Ice Age friends will indeed be defrosted.

This plot would sound as a closure for the Ice Age movie series though…

I wonder: would Scrat the squirrel go nuts for chocolate? I know I do!

Ice Age 4 Scrat Short Film

Fox is releasing a short film to promote Ice Age 4 Continental Drift. The short film, titled Scrat's Continental Crack-Up, focuses on the squirrel Scrat and reveals that he started the whole continental drift thing.
Fox and Blue Sky have announced that the movie Ice Age 4 will be released on July 13, 2012. They said the movie will be in 3D and they also revealed the working title, it's "Ice Age: Continental Drift". The studios execs prefer to play it safe and won't bring our friends of the Ice Age into a modern-day museum. Well it's probably better, because then there's still room for Ice Age 5.

The plot of Ice Age 4 Continental Drift will involve a new journey full of adventures.

CONTRABAND 2012

CONTRABAND MOVIE

Storyline

A security guard with financial troubles considers a return to his smuggling ways when an associate offers a potentially lucrative opportunity.

Contraband is a remake of the Icelandic thriller Reykjavik-Rotterdam. The plot centers on a security guard and former alcohol smuggler on the Iceland-Netherlands route who is tempted back into illicit business by a dubious friend after encountering financial problems.

CONTRABAND MOVIE

Actor Mark Wahlberg got the lead role in Contraband, an upcoming drama thriller movie directed by Baltasar Kormakur. Contraband is actually is a remake of an Icelandic thriller Reykjavik-Rotterdam: the story focuses on a former smuggler trying to go straight as a night guard. Besides Mark Wahlberg, the movie Contraband is also starring Kate Beckinsale, Ben Foster, Giovanni Ribisi, and Caleb Landry. The release date of Contraband is tentatively set for March 16, 2012.

Plot:

Mark Wahlberg leads the cast of “Contraband,” a fast-paced thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he worked so hard to leave behind and the family he’ll do anything to protect. Set in New Orleans, the film explores the cutthroat underground world of international smuggling — full of desperate criminals and corrupt officials, high-stakes and big payoffs — where loyalty rarely exists and death is one wrong turn away.

Chris Farraday (Wahlberg) long ago abandoned his life of crime, but after his brother-in-law, Andy (Caleb Landry Jones), botches a drug deal for his ruthless boss, Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), Chris is forced back into doing what he does best–running contraband–to settle Andy’s debt. Chris is a legendary smuggler and quickly assembles a crew with the help of his best friend, Sebastian (Ben Foster), to head to Panama and return with millions in counterfeit bills.

Things quickly fall apart and with only hours to reach the cash, Chris must use his rusty skills to successfully navigate a treacherous criminal network of brutal drug lords, cops and hit men before his wife, Kate (Kate Beckinsale), and sons become their target.

Jack The Giant Killer 2012

Jack The Giant Killer Movie

Storyline

A modern day fairy tale in which the long-standing peace between men and giants is threatened, as a young farmer leads an expedition into the giants' kingdom in hopes of rescuing a kidnapped princess.
Jack the Giant Killer is an adult take on the Jack and the Beanstalk fable. In the fairytale land, there is a peace between the giants and man, but when a princess is kidnapped, Jack takes a daring journey to the land of the giants to rescue her.

Jack the Giant Killer Movie

Director Bryan Singer will helm a new movie adaptation of the popular folk tale Jack the Giant Killer for Warner Bros. For those who don't know, Jack the Giant Killer is a British fairy tale about a plucky Cornish lad who slays a number of giants during King Arthur's reign. The Jack The Giant Killer movie will be a dark retelling of "Jack and the Beanstalk". There's no official release date yet.

A shirt from Legendary Pictures, believed to be for Jack the Giant Killer, was spotted during the last Comic Con, the tower looks definitely evil: There’s a new Jack The Giant Killer movie ahead of us. The film is directed by Bryan Singer and is starring Nicholas Hoult, Eleanor Tomlinson, Stanley Tucci, Ewan McGregor, Bill Nighy, John Kassir, and Ian McShane. The film is a dark take on the popular folk tale “Jack and the Beanstalk”.

Ewan McGregor, Eddie Marsan Jack the Giant Killer Set Photos have premiered. Bryan Singer‘s Jack The Giant Killer (2012) set photos for Ewan McGregor and Eddie Marsan show the two actors in armor with swords in tow.

Jack The Giant Killer‘s plot synopsis: “A modern day fairy tale in which the long-standing peace between men and giants is threatened, as a young farmer (Nicholas Hoult) leads an expedition into the giants’ kingdom in hopes of rescuing a kidnapped princess (Eleanor Tomlinson).” The Jack The Giant Killer story has been filmed many times, going all the way back to 1962 version directed by Nathan Juran and starring Kerwin Mathews, Judi Meredith, and Torin Thatcher.

This version of Jack The Giant Killer also stars Ian McShane, Bill Nighy, Stanley Tucci, John Kassir, Lee Boardman, Christopher Villiers, Russell Balogh, Caroline Hayes, and David Frost. Look at the first Ewan McGregor, Eddie Marsan Jack the Giant Killer set photos below and leave your thoughts on them. Jack the Giant Killer will be released in theaters in the US on June 15, 2012.

Plot:

"When a princess is kidnapped, a long-standing peace between men and giants becomes threatened, and a young farmer is given an opportunity to lead a dangerous expedition to the giant kingdom to rescue her."

The young actor Nicholas Hoult got the lead role as Jack. The cast also includes Stanley Tucci as an evil king, Bill Nighy, John Kassir and Ewan McGregor.

There's a Jack and the Beanstalk movie from 1933 that's in public domain, watch it below:
Anyway more details about the movie Jack The Giant Killer soon!

“When a princess is kidnapped, a long-standing peace between men and giants becomes threatened, and a young farmer is given an opportunity to lead a dangerous expedition to the giant kingdom to rescue her.”
Jack the Giant Killer is supposedly a longtime dream project for Bryan Singer, and the screenplay was co-written by Chris McQuarrie, who wrote The Usual Suspects and Valkyrie, so you know that he and Singer get along well. Nicholas Hoult, who Singer helped get cast in X-Men: First Class as Beast (Singer is still a producer on X-Men) will be playing Jack, and there are rumors of Ewan McGregor joining the cast. I hope he’s a mentor for Jack, and teaches him the ways of the force. I mean, the beanstalk.

I actually like the concept of the story, although I read the comic Fables, which is a better way to update and do something new/different with these fairytale characters. Jack the Giant Killer is the main reason why Bryan Singer didn’t direct X-Men: First Class, which he was reportedly interested in, but he was under contract to do Jack the Giant Killer. So if X-Men sucks, we can all boycott this. I’ll bring posters, you bring hot cocoa.

Credited  Cast:

- Nicholas Hoult as Jack, a young farmer who leads the expedition to rescue the princess
- Eleanor Tomlinson as the princess who is kidnapped by giants
- Stanley Tucci as the villain, an adviser to the king with designs on usurping power
- Bill Nighy and John Kassir as Fallon, the two-headed leader of the giants. Nighy plays the big head and Kassir plays the smaller head
- Ewan McGregor as the leader of the king’s elite guard, who helps fight giants
- Ian McShane as King Brahmwell, the princess’ father, who is none too thrilled about a union between his daughter and a farmer boy

The movie Jack The Giant Killer will be released by Warner Bros on June 15, 2012.

I Hate You Dad 2012

I Hate You Dad Movie

Storyline

A disagreeable father who moves in with his son before he's about to get married.

I Hate You Dad Movie

Actor Adam Sandler got the lead role in I Hate You Dad, an upcoming comedy movie directed by Sean Anders and John Morris. The film will be released in theaters on June 15, 2012.

As we reported earlier today, the Adam Sandler/Andy Samberg father-son comedy I Hate You, Dad begins filming this week in Everett, MA and it looks like they are starting off in the classroom.

The movie began setting up at the Old Everett High School (on Broadway, near Hampton in Everett) over the weekend and will be filming there on Tuesday (6.7), possibly longer though an exact timetable has not been confirmed.

According to one of our readers, John, “they are filming classroom scenes for the new Adam Sandler movie in Everett this week.” He added that they have cast several extras to play students, etc.


It sounds like these scenes may be the same scenes that were to be shot at East Bridgewater High School, though Paramount chose not to shoot there because they were looking for a larger auditorium space.

Though we don’t know for sure who will be on set, we wouldn’t be surprised if Susan Sarandon were involved in the scenes since she plays a teacher who “slept with Sandler’s character when he was 13 years old, with Samberg as the embarrassed progeny.”

In addition to Sarandon, Sandler, and Samberg, Milo Ventimiglia, Leighton Meester, Ian Ziering and Vanilla Ice will also appear in the movie.

Plot:

"I Hate You Dad centers on a father (Adam Sandler) who moves in on the eve of his son's (Andy Samberg) wedding and promptly begins feuding with the bride-to-be."

This definitely sounds like a classic Sandler comedy. It will be lighthearted and funny, but it won't really make cinema history.

Anyway, more information about the movie I Hate You Dad soon.

Brave 2012

Brave Movie 2012

Storyline

Set in Scotland in a rugged and mythical time, "Brave" features Merida, an aspiring archer and impetuous daughter of royalty. Merida makes a reckless choice that unleashes unintended peril and forces her to spring into action to set things right. Written by Walt Disney Pictures .

Brave is set to be released on June 22, 2012 in the U.S. and Canada.

Like The Incredibles (directed by Brad Bird), Brave is a Pixar film not directed by the core group of directors at the studio. Brave‘s director is Mark Andrews, who previously directed the short, One Man Band.

Here are the details about Brave‘s storyline that have been released:

“A rugged and mythic Scotland is the setting for Pixar’s action-adventure Brave. The impetuous, tangle-haired Merida, though a daughter of royalty, would prefer to make her mark as a great archer. A clash of wills with her mother compels Merida to make a reckless choice, which unleashes unintended peril on her father’s kingdom and her mother’s life. Merida struggles with the unpredictable forces of nature, magic and a dark, ancient curse to set things right. The storytelling wizards of Pixar conjure humor, fantasy and excitement in this rich Highland tale.”

The film stars Reese Witherspoon as Princess Merida and Emma Thompson as her mother, Queen Elinor. Additional voices include Billy Connolly as King Fergus, Tom Hulce as Prince Jeffrey, and Julie Walters as a witch.

This will be Pixar’s first fairytale film. In interviews about the studio’s upcoming projects, Lee Unkrich (director of Toy Story 3) has described Brave as “gritty,” so as is the case with Pixar do not expect a conventional “princess film.”

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In "Brave," a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson).

Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it's too late.

Brave Trailer

Disney Pixar has released the first official teaser trailer of Brave: Looks like the story of the movie Brave will be darker than what Disney Pixar usually produce. Still looks amazing, can't wait to see Brave!

Brave Movie by Disney Pixar

Update - Director Brenda Chapman kind of left the project but she will still receive a co-director credit. Director Mark Andrews has now taken over the film.

Brave is an upcoming 3D CGI animated movie by Disney Pixar. The film is directed by Brenda Chapman (who once brought us The Prince of Egypt): the movie Brave is the first Pixar production to be helmed by a female director. The release is scheduled for June 22, 2012.

Here's a first concept art of the movie Brave: Pixar are working on Brave (previously titled the Bear and the Bow), their first fairy tale movie. Director Brenda Chapman (who once brought us The Prince of Egypt) is helming the project. Here below a concept art and a logo of the movie Brave.

Plot:

"In rugged and mythic Scotland, the impetuous, tangle-haired Merida (Reese Witherspoon), though a daughter of royalty, would rather make her mark as an archer. A clash of wills with her mother compels Merida to make a reckless choice, which unleashes unintended peril on her father's kingdom and her mother's life. Merida struggles with the unpredictable forces of nature, magic and a dark ancient curse."

The film, Pixar's first fairy tale, is said to be a combination of Brenda Chapman's love of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, as well as a reflection on raising her daughter. Well, Pixar's take on a fairy tale will certainly bring a breath of fresh air to the genre. Pretty sure that Pixar will once again deliver a great animated movie.

More information about the Brave movie soon!

Storyline

Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo join a traveling circus in an effort to get back home to New York.

Madagascar 3 will be released on June 8, 2012. It is directed by Eric Darnell (Madagascar, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa) and produced by Mireille Soria (Madagascar, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa) and Mark Swift (Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa).

It is being written by Noah Baumbach (Fantastic Mr. Fox) and once again stars Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen, Cedric The Entertainer and Andy Richter. Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe are still fighting to get home to their beloved Big Apple and of course, King Julien, Maurice and the Penguins are all along for the comedic adventure. Their journey takes them through Europe where they find the perfect cover: a traveling circus, which they reinvent -- Madagascar style.

A new Madagascar movie sequel is being planned, this would the third and final installment of the Madagascar movie series! DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg confirmed indeed that Madagascar 3 would released in Summer 2012. Katzenberg also hinted at the plot of Madagascar 3:
"There is at least one more chapter. We ultimately want to see the characters make it back to New York.

Yes, we are making a Madagascar 3 now, and it will be out in the summer of 2012."
DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg

Those animals are now well experienced travelers. And I bet that the movie Madagascar 3 will be the most hilarious of the series! By the way, Madagascar 3 is quite likely to go 3D!

If this is the final Madagascar movie, I hope that the penguins will get their own spin-off movie later on, because they're damn cute.

Cloud Atlas 2012

Cloud Atlas Movie 2012

Storyline

Six stories set in a different time and place become intricately related to each other.
Cloud Atlas is a collection of various tales spanning time from the 1850s to a post apocalyptic future. The story is based on a 2004 novel by David Mitchell.

No word has been given as to how the story will be told in the film, but in the book, there are a total of six stories told through a rather inventive storytelling technique. Essentially, the first half of the book is in chronological order, while the second half is in reverse chronological order. During the first half, each story is interrupted at some point and is revealed to be either read, seen, or otherwise experienced by a character in the next story. So characters in story 2 are reading a book based on the characters of story 1. Characters in story 3 read about story 2 characters, and so on.

The first story is during 1850. It is the tale of a man on his way home from the Chatham Islands. The second story is in 1931 and is about a poor Englishman living in Belgium, working for a composer. The third tale is in 1975, and follows a journalist in California. The fourth story is in roughly present day and follows a publisher who is running from the mob. The fifth story is in the future and it is about a robot working at a fast food restaurant. The sixth and final story is set in Hawaii after an apocalyptic event takes place and follows one of the last remaining people alive.

Doesn’t sound complicated at all.

Cloud Atlas will be directed by the Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer. All three are collaborating on the screenplay as well. Obviously, the Wachowskis made The Matrix trilogy and Speed Racer, but it’s kinda odd that Tom Tykwer is listed in the credit as well. I just looked this up on IMDB for the first time, and while I’ve been following the news of the film for some time, I’ve never heard of anyone else being involved, at least in terms of directing and writing, than the Wachowskis. Interesting. Also interesting is that Tykwer has relatively little experience, outside of writing some music for other films. Hmmm…

As of now, it appears that Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and possibly Natalie Portman will be in the film. I have no idea which timeline they’ll be a part of, but it seems like they’ll be separated.

Cloud Atlas Movie

The Wachowski Brothers, are working on Cloud Atlas, an upcoming movie adaptation of the audacious and dazzling novel of the same name written by David Mitchell. The story weaves history, science, humor, and suspense through six separate but related narratives, each set in a different time and place. The movie can boast an impressive cast: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Ben Whishaw, Susan Sarandon, and Jim Broadbent.

Plot:

The novel consists of six nested stories that take us from the remote South Pacific in the nineteenth century to a distant, post-apocalypticfuture. Each tale is revealed to be a story that is read (or watched) by the main character in the next. All stories but the last one get interrupted at some moment, and after the sixth story concludes at the center of the book, the novel "goes back" in time, "closing" each story as the book progresses in terms of pages but regresses in terms of the historical period in which the action takes place.

 Eventually, readers end where they started, with Adam Ewing in the Pacific Ocean, circa 1850.
"A reluctant voyager crossing the Pacific in 1850; a disinherited composer blagging a precarious livelihood in between-the-wars Belgium; a high-minded journalist in Governor Reagan's California; a vanity publisher fleeing his gangland creditors; a genetically modified 'dinery server' on death-row; and Zachary, a young Pacific Islander witnessing the nightfall of science and civilization — the narrators of Cloud Atlas hear each other's echoes down the corridor of history, and their destinies are changed in ways great and small."
"That's a project that's really exciting because all the actors will be playing more than one role. I actually have six characters in the same film and they are all different people in six different stories."
_Actor Hugo Weaving
The release date of Cloud Atlas is set for May 4, 2012. Stay tuned with us for more information about the movie Cloud Atlas. Actor Hugo Weaving is quite excited about the movie Cloud Atlas:

Avengers 2012

Avengers Movie 2012

Storyline

The plot is a little thin right now, but the upcoming Avengers Movie is showcasing all the superheros in one movie. Not all the superhero’s are in the movie all at once, some are just cameo appearances such as Hulk. However, Iron Man should have a main role in the movie, as Iron Man 3 is a sequel to The Avengers.

Still, you can count on seeing lots of Captain America (ugh, that blows) , Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor and War Machine. Nick Fury will have a main role in the film as well, but he is getting his own movie later in 2012, so they won’t give him too much screen time.

Rumor has it the story is based around the Avengers fighting some alien race called ‘The Skrulls’ although this isn’t 100% confirmed yet. Here’s more info on The Skrulls from Marvel :
The first Avengers comic book was published in 1963. The team of superheroes, originally created using preexisting Marvel characters, variously created by writer-editor Stan Lee, artist and co-plotter Jack Kirby and others, has since thrived, creating its own universe.

Following the success of the Iron Man movie of the Incredible Hulk Marvel has confirmed its intent to produce a feature film based on the Avengers. The movie is slated for a release in Summer 2012.

The Director and the cast have not been unveiled yet. But we may fairly bet that three actors seen in previous superhero movies will reprise their roles, namely:
- Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man,
- Edward Norton as the Hulk,
- and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.

Scriptwriter Zak Penn is in charge of the screenplay. It is likely that this Avengers movie will actually be based on the Ultimate Avengers series in which a black Nick Fury (in fact specifically tailored after actor Samuel L. Jackson with his permission from the start!) shapes the team to protect America against superhuman threats.
The coming years will be marvelous! With Iron Man 2 in 2010, and Thor and Captain America in 2011. They will be great movies but will also pave the way for the historical blockbuster the Avengers is going to be!

Avengers Assemble!

Avengers Trailer

The first trailer of the Avengers was actually stitched at the end of Captain America, you may now watch it online below:
A full movie trailer of the Avengers should show up soon. But this first teaser looks promising!
The comic con teaser trailer of the Avengers has shown up online. We get to hear Samuel L. Jackson's ever-sonorous voiceover (he plays the role of Nick Fury) and we also see the silvery-black logo of the Avengers:
Here's a transcript of what Nick Fury is saying:
And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat…to fight the foes no single superhero could withstand. On that day, The Avengers were born.
Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson)

You may recognize Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).
The cast also includes Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson and Tom Hiddelston as Loki.

“Everything I had done [in the movie Thor] accorded with Joss’s idea of the character, too. I’m really so flattered that Marvel and Josh think I can take them all on. In Avengers, it’s going to be me versus seven of them, and I say ‘Good luck to them’, frankly.”
_Actor Tom Hiddelston
What’s going to be Loki’s trick this time around?

The Avengers, the upcoming superhero movie set to assemble Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor, will start filming in April 2011 in New Mexico.
The villain of the upcoming Avengers movie hasn’t announced yet. Could be Hulk under the influence of Loki, Thor’s evil brother. I also heard that the Skrulls could be involved. Well we’ll know sooner or later.

What’s the threat the Avengers have o face? The Skrulls, Hulk or some other villain?

Avengers Movie Behind The Scenes

Videos showing the behind the scenes of the Avengers movie have popped up online! Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans do their thing as Captain America and Thor, awesome fight scene:
Any idea who those guys in mo-cap suits are supposed to be?
The Avengers vs Loki

Sounds like Loki (Tom Hiddelston) will be the main villain (or rather the master puppeteer behind another villain) in the upcoming Avengers movie:
"Everything I had done [in the movie Thor] accorded with Joss's idea of the character, too. I'm really so flattered that Marvel and Josh think I can take them all on. In Avengers, it's going to be me versus seven of them, and I say 'Good luck to them', frankly."
_Actor Tom Hiddelston

I wonder what Loki, the god of mischief, deceit, and lies, will be up to in the Avengers movie, nothing good I guess...
Avengers Movie directed by Joss Whedon

Marvel has hired Director Joss Whedon (who's mostly known for his TV shows) to helm the upcoming Avengers live-action movie. Let's wish him luck then!

Other tidbit of news: Edward Norton has been ditched, it seems he's going to be replaced by Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner aka Hulk in the Avengers movie.

Avengers Movie Hulk

Kevin Feige revealed that Hulk would show up in the upcoming Avengers movie:

"My only concern is that when we launch a franchise–whichever character’s franchise that may be–it should stand on its own two feet… So by the time ‘The Avengers’ comes in 2012, it’s not just a team superhero movie with a bunch of characters with powers. It’s three people – four including the Hulk; five including Nick Fury – who you’ve seen before in other movies, coming together for the very first time.

It's certainly our intention to use the same actors from film to film where we can."
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige

He doesn't tell if Hulk will be friend or foe, but my bet is, like most fans, that Hulk will be the main villain in the Avengers movie: a real showdown opposing the Avengers (Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America) to Hulk!

If Hulk does show up, Edward Norton is likely to reprise his role.

Plot:

“When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster.”

The full HD trailer of the Avengers will be online soon!
“And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when earth’s mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat…to fight the foes no single superhero could withstand. On that day, The Avengers were born.
Avengers assemble!”
Oh my God! That teaser get me all pumped up for the Avengers movie: it’s going to be a hell of a movie with all those superheroes!
