A Superhero Suprise in I Am Legend

A Superhero Suprise in I Am Legend

December 21, 2007

This will be old news to many, but now that I Am Legend has been in theaters for a week, we thought we'd answer all the e-mails we've gotten. We didn't want to spoil the easter egg put into I Am Legend by writer/producer Akiva Goldsman and let fans discover it on their own!

In the beginning of the film, Will Smith is hunting a deer and when he walks through a deserted Times Square, fans get to see a quick glimpse of a big Batman vs. Superman billboard. It was meant as a joke by Goldsman, but some fans are wondering if it means a Batman vs. Superman movie is already in development -- not so.

Goldsman was once attached to a real Batman vs. Superman movie, but the script didn't get the green light. He also wrote Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.

In the movie, even though it is 2012, the virus hit in 2009, so Goldsman thought about which movies "could" possibly come to theaters in '09. In the video store Will Smith goes into you'll also see fakeGreen Lantern and Teen Titans posters.

G.I. Joe's Storm Shadow and Scarlett Chosen?

If knowing is half the battle, then knowing the rumor is...one-fourth the battle?

by Jeff Giles | December 19, 2007

Blog Article | Discuss Article

We already know Ray Park and Sienna Miller are part of Stephen Sommers' G.I. Joe cast. How about a little old-fashioned rumormongering about a pair of potential additions?

Latino Review claims that "proven sources" have fed them the inside scoop on two of the faces we can expect to see alongside Miller and Park when Joe hits the screen -- and who they'll be playing.

According to the report, Storm Shadow -- the Cobra equivalent of Joe's resident ninja, Snake Eyes -- will be played by Korean film sensation Byung-Hun Lee, star of Winter Sonata and Capcom's Lost Planet game. Storm Shadow's bio, courtesy of Latino Review:

Storm Shadow's real name is Thomas S. Arashikage. Best known as the Cobra Commander's ninja bodyguard and assassin at times, he is the only member of the team to change sides several times, conflicted in loyalties between Cobra, G.I. Joe and his long relationship with his swordbrother Snake Eyes.

He usually wears a white uniform and mask. When out of his uniform, he is shown to be Japanese, with black hair and dark eyes. In 2007, the character's creator Larry Hama revealed an alternate name for the character, Tomisaburo Arashikage, in the solo series Storm Shadow. Although Tomisaburo is a single Japanese name, it may stand in for his middle initial in: Tommy/Thomas S Arashikage.

Latino Review's sources also say that Rachel Nichols, the Alias and P2 star recently rumored to be joining the cast of Star Trek XI, has also signed up for Joe duty -- and that she'll be playing Shana "Scarlett" O'Hara, Cobra's red-haired Master Sergeant.


Nothing wrong with running this picture one more time.

More on the character:

She was the first female action figure in the G.I. Joe toy line and is also the only member of the original team to see much action in both cartoon and comic incarnations. The official line on Scarlett is that her full name is Shana M. O'Hara. She was born in Atlanta, Georgia. Although she is as adept with standard weapons as any of her comrades, her weapon of choice is the crossbow, which fires various bolts with specialized functions. Her rank is Master Sergeant, and she serves from time to time as team leader. Her primary specialty for the team is counter intelligence and is additionally skilled in martial arts and acrobatics.

So there you have it, Joe fans. If you still have your old action figures, you can remove them from their protective casings, hold them up against pictures of Lee and Nichols, and decide how you feel about all this. We're still waiting for Mike Myers or Billy Connolly to get the call for Destro. (Just kidding! We think.)

DiVad's Weekend Box Office Report

Will Smith Sets a Legendary Record -- $76.5 Million! 

Source: Box Office Mojo, The Weekend Warrior

December 16, 2007

The ComingSoon.net Box Office Report has been updated with studio estimates for the weekend and ComingSoon.net's The Weekend Warrior has a full analysis. Be sure to check back on Monday for final figures based on actual box office.

In one of the most astounding weekends since the summer, twomovies opened and far exceeded all expectations, predictions and studio tracking as Will Smith opened his latest sci-fi action flick I Am Legend (Warner Bros.) in December with an estimated gross of $76.5 million in regular and IMAX theatres, an average of over $21,000 per theater, setting a new opening record for Smith as well as the new record for December. Even more surprising might be the success of Alvin and the Chipmunks (Fox) in finding a huge family audience to the tune of $45 million, becoming one of the top 8 openers for the month of December as well.

Alecc B. on "I Am Legend"

Can Will Smith fail? Well, there will come a point in all actors' careers when a movie that they star in tanks at the box office. That really hasn't happened to Smith yet. His worst movies are Wild Wild West, Bad Boys 2, and Men In Black 2, and each of those still made a ton of money. I guess Ali would be his smallest grossing film since he became a superstar, and he received his first Academy Award nomination for that.

Smith has proven he's capable of bringing in audiences, no matter what kind of movie he's in. With I Am Legend, Smith faces one of his most complicated roles as the last man on earth, and succeeds once again.

PLOT

A cure for cancer has been created. Thousands of people become free of this disease, but then the unexpected happens. The cure takes a turn for the worse, and everyone who used to have cancer are now dealing with something that is much worse. An infection begins to spread, and everyone on the planet turns into a vampire/zombie-type mutant that comes out at night to feed. Only one man is immune to this outbreak, and his name is Robert Neville.

ACTING

Will Smith has become "that guy". He is what Tom Cruise was before he went crazy. He knows how to pick his roles carefully and Legend is a great exercise for him. Besides having a dog in the film, Smith is mostly on-screen by himself. Even when he's not fighting CGI vampire/zombie-type mutants (Let's just call them "vambies"!), he still holds your interest. Smith conveys, with ease, how Neville is barely hanging on to his sanity. Imagine if you were all alone in the world. Not a fun thought.

WRITING & DIRECTING

Mark Protosevich and Akiva Goldsman handled the responsibility of adapting Richard Matheson's famous novel into a Will Smith event flick. The story moves along at a good pace. There are definitely a couple of scenes where Smith is given some really strong material to work with.

Director Francis Lawrence, who helmed the underrated Constantine, gives I Am Legend a very eerie look. There are plenty of shots of empty streets that will creep you out. Think about how much energy is pumping through New York City on a daily basis and then try and picture all of it gone. Nothing but abandoned cars and silence. Lawrence definitely has a knack for setting the mood. There are some seriously suspenseful scenes throughout the film as well.

Aside from a pretty big continuity error, my only real problem with Legend was that the vambies looked a little too CGI at times. They really stuck out, but it didn't hurt the film that much.

Will Smith is sure to dominate the box office once again this weekend, and at least I Am Legend can be added to his list of good moneymakers.

Overall Review: *** stars

Smith: Damn it Fred! Damn it!

SPEED RACER

Release Date: May 9, 2008
Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures
Director: Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski
Screenwriter: Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski
Starring: Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, Matthew Fox, Susan Sarandon, John Goodman, Kick Gurry,Paulie Litt, Roger Allam, Ji Hoon Jung, Melvil Poupaud, Richard Roundtree, Christian Oliver

Plot Summary: Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized—the legendary Rex Racer—whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill.

Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), the designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company's maniacal owner (Roger Allam) but uncovers a terrible secret—some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If Speed won't drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line.

The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams with his one-time rival—the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox)—to win the race that had taken his brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.

Based on the classic series created by anime pioneer Tatsuo Yoshida, the live-action "Speed Racer" will showcase the kind of revolutionary visual effects and cutting-edge storytelling that have become the benchmarks of the Wachowski brothers' films.

Alecc B. on "The Golden Compass"

Hollywood is trying so hard to create the next Lord Of The Rings trilogy. We've seen plenty of imitators over the years, including Eragon, Bridge To Terabithia, and the first installment of The Chronicles Of Narnia, which happened to be the only one out of the three that found success. The second entry in the Narnia series, Prince Caspian, comes out next summer.

Until next summer though, we have The Golden Compass invading theatres today, just in time for kids to force their parents to take them to see it again and again over the holiday break. I'll tell you right now, this ain't got nothin' on the Rings films. But it's not a complete waste of time either.

PLOT

In an alternate world, things are pretty much as they are here, except that in this world, there are flying witches and talking animals. Actually, it's nothing like our world. I'm having difficulty describing the plot for Compass, so the simplest way for me to lay out the plot would be to say that there is a young girl named Lyra that is trying to find her kidnapped friend. She's assisted by an armored polar bear and Sam Elliott's mustache. Oh, and dust is a pretty big deal.

ACTING

Dakota Blue Richards has a lot of spunk as Lyra. She carries the film well and doesn't bore you like the kids of Narnia. Daniel Craig plays Lord Asriel, Lyra's uncle who is obsessed with dust! He has a few scenes but nothing to write home about. He's just a cool dude. Nicole Kidman shows up with all of her elegance, as usual, to play Marisa Coulter. Lyra looks up to Coulter but soon realizes that there is more to this red-haired beauty than meets the eye. Kidman is a great actress and she's just gorgeous. She has that classic look to her, like Audrey Hepburn. Sam Elliott plays Lee, and you know what to expect. You'll get that Southern drawl and thick mustache that only Elliott can give you. Super-sexy Eva Green shows up as the witch Serafina. She's pretty good here and oh-so-nice to look at.

Now, as far the talking animals go, they're called "daemons" in this film. Daemons are part of everyone's soul. Every man, woman, and child has their own daemon. Here are a few of the voices behind these animals:

Pantalaimon - Freddie Highmore
Iorek - Ian McKellan
Ragnar - Ian McShane
Stelmaria - Kristin Scott Thomas
Hester - Kathy Bates

WRITING & DIRECTING

Chris Weitz adapted Philip Pullman's novel into the film we see now. I know religious folk are calling The Golden Compass out because Pullman is an Athiest and the book supposedly promotes Atheism. Weitz has stated that he stripped all of that stuff out of his screenplay so everyone can enjoy the film. So let's get to the screenplay.

The story was a bit muddled for me for a good chunk of the movie. There was all this talk of dust and Gobblers and all this shit. I wasn't bored, because the theatre I saw Compass in was exceptionally loud. I definitely felt that the story was lacking something.

This is the first story of a trilogy of books, by the way, so the ending of this film leaves it open for a sequel. Just letting you know so that when the credits roll, you don't throw your hands up and yell, "What the fuck?!"

As for the special effects, The Golden Compass has tons of eye-candy for lovers of CGI. All of the demons in the films are completely computer-generated, even when they're not talking, and you quickly forget they're not real. The stand-out sequence of the film involves some polar bear-on-polar bear action. No, not that kind. Weirdo. I'm talking about a brawl! It's pretty kick ass!

Weitz has come a long way since directing American Pie. I believe he is more than capable to handle big budget flicks like Compass in the future, but he needs some assistance when it comes to writing. On smaller films, like Pie or the underrated In Good Company, Weitz seems a little more comfortable with the dialogue and such. As his first event movie, Compass is not a complete failure. It just needed a little more magic in the storytelling to make it seem like the film was not relying on the magic of CGI.

Budgeted at a reported $180 million, The Golden Compass better pray it makes bank quickly, because just around the corner a little film called I Am Legend will be coming out. We all know that no one gets in Will Smith's way, otherwise he'd have to say, "Oh hell naw!"

Overall Review: ** stars

McKellan: Yes, that's all.

DiVad's TRAILER NEWS UPDATES: INDY 4, DARK KNIGHT, STAR TREK

Indiana Jones, Dark Knight & Star Trek Trailer Updates

Source: Notfabio

December 3, 2007

ComingSoon.net has learned new details about the upcoming teaser trailers for three of next year's highly-anticipated movies. Keep in mind that the online debuts for these trailers will probably be earlier in the week of release for the movie it is attached to, and that the trailer may not be shown with every print of the film.

First up, the first trailer for Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is now planned for a debut in February. While we don't know for sure with which movie it will show, Paramount's biggest film that month is The Spiderwick Chronicles, so keep your eye on that one. Of course, it's possible Paramount will decide to debut footage earlier during the Super Bowl, but we're not sure.

In just two weeks, on December 14, Warner Bros. will release the teaser trailer for Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight in standard theaters with I Am Legend. As was previously announced, the studio will be showing the 7-minute opening scene of "Dark Knight" before the screenings of "Legend" in IMAX.

And Star Trek fans won't have to wait long for the first teaser for the J.J. Abrams-directed film, as Paramount is planning a debut with the Abrams-produced monster movie Cloverfield, coming to theaters on January 18, 2008.

ATARIO'S: NEW MOVIE RANT OF THE MONTH: "LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD" UNRATED VERSION

1. 

For those of you that waited like I did , and for those of you that
are going say something like...."I can't believe you never saw that when it came
out, you fucking hack film critic ! "Me I waited , I waited and waited , LOL, tired of waiting for what I have to say?As a huge Hugh Die hard fan , and the excitement of a 4th film being released,I was all excited! Then,talking to Divad I heard some disturbing news.I mean, I knew the film was rated PG-13 ( oh God why) but I didn't
know they where taking it so far. They did things like cut the film down to
make it that rating and cut out the "yippee-ki-yay motherfucker" with some background noise. So either out of sheer brilliance, or maybe like Narc would say , "cause I was lazy" I waited for the unrated version. Fucking Holly shit that was cool version to come out this week, and to tell you it was great. In essence it wasn't really a true Die hard film. It could of been called "The fucking Mac kid and Bruce go to see Silent bob movie" and still would of made an ass load of money. Be honest with yourselves film heads! John McClane was still funny as shit and was able to take an inhuman amount of abuse, For God sakes man , He rides
Star Scream , I kept hoping it would transform ! That would add to my theory that any movies is better when there's a transforming robot in it ! I didn't care for the whole,"I learned to fly a chopper".("Jr you know how to fly") bite off of Last crusade . LOL ("fly yes , Land no !!!)- still funny .But I still really enjoyed all the extra violence & cursing being put back into the film .

OK now let talk about Timothy Olyphant, you know who I'm talking about , are you
having an oh that guy moment ? Timothy Olyphant a.k.a. Todd Gaines a.k.a. Thomas Gabriel . Do I have to put him in a frigging Video game movie for you to know who the guy with the funny name is . He's agent 47 in the up coming shit feast "Hitman" we re's fucking Chuck Norris when you need him.His character is rather weak in the movie , I mean the Chinese girl in the film was great Maggie Q,, I mean you can drive her thru a building , literally thru it and she'll still be able
to get up and try to kill the mac kid , I wonder if PC sent her ? Ever think of that angel ? So as in any movie that he doesn't direct , Kevin Smith was basically
point less in the movie , Dare Devil !!! It would of been cool if they would of brought
back Sam Jackson to play that part,Fucking Zeus on the Internet , All angry yelling shit like there mother fucking snakes on the Internet McClane.

Also the character of Lucy McClane was better then Bring back the ex wife ,
I mean if the marriage hasn't worked by now I think its time to give up .The DVD is awesome. Watch the Fully loaded mountain due version , with all the sugar and the sperm killing yellow # 5 still in the can. I recommend it , even if you enjoyed
the diet Pepsi , venison, The DVD comes with the Theatrical version also .

Go watch it , Click on " unrated version" and enjoy !



Atario Has spoken !!! My Loyal film heads !

New Joker Photo From The Dark Knight

Source: Wizard

November 30, 2007

This new photo of Heath Ledger as The Joker in Warner Bros. Pictures' The Dark Knight has appeared on the latest issue of Wizard magazine. In the Christopher Nolan-directed Batman Begins sequel, opening July 18, Batman (Christian Bale) raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as The Joker.
