Fox Walden has released the second poster (following the teaser) for their upcoming adaptation City of Ember.  I must say, besides making me think of the poster for Journey to the Center of the Earth, this poster just bores me.

Back in early July, I passed on news to you guys that Mark Millar, author of Wanted, War Heroes, 1985 and a host of other comics, told some people that he had a real idea for rebooting the Superman franchise.

And it was welcomed news, at least to me. The franchise is essentially dead in my eyes, as the last installment did nothing but enact a “ho-hum” from me. There had to be someone out there with a bigger and better idea, someone who could do what Christopher Nolan has done with Batman.

I’ve already mentioned that I’m really excited to see the Ed Harris directed Appaloosa.  I love westerns in general and the last few big screen westerns have actually been pretty good (Open Range and 3:10 To Yuma come to mind).  This one looks like it could be another good one.

According to Aaron Eckhart and Chud.com, Two-Face is completely and utterly dead. Devin at Chud recently did an interview with Eckhart in which he ended up asking about future Batman movies and Two-Face, and this was the response:

“I asked Chris [Nolan] if there was a chance of coming back. ‘No way,’ he said. ‘He’s toast.’”

Ugh. Toast.

I don’t think any of us were surprised when Kevin Smith’s film Zack and Miri Make a Porno was first given an NC-17 rating.  You gotta figure any movie from Kevin Smith about two people making a porno is probably going to have to fight for an R (which it did, and won).  But it seems that even the artwork for this film is too much for the states as the first poster for Zack and Miri Make a Porno has been banned.

One of the first things I figured would happen when I saw the movie 21 was that I’d get to find out just how badly they changed the original story from the book, Bringing Down the House. I read it a few years back and was just astounded by how these guys took Vegas casinos for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After some brief research before writing this review, I discovered that it really didn’t matter what the final screenplay ended up being for 21 because the book itself apparently butchered more than the film ever could.

Way back in May, Jason posted the Red Band teaser for the upcoming Kevin Smith comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. It stars Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks.

We now have the full-length preview for the movie that gives us some hilarious lines, like “there’s poo in there” and a funny bit about Rosie O’Donnell.

The legal debate over who owns the rights to Watchmen just gets worse and worse. Word from Cinematical is that Fox is pushing for a June court date, while Warner Brothers is hoping for April.

Umm, hello? The movie it set to release on March 6th, 2009!

Obviously if this giant scuffle isn’t resolved by the intended release date, it’s doubtful we’ll see it in theaters this March. And with the length that most trials go these days, and if Fox gets their wish, could it be the summer of 2010 before this movie actually is seen by the general public?

Don LaFontaine is a name that will likely come as a strange one to the average person. If you can identify who he is and what he’s famous for, you are probably in the minority.

But if you could hear him speak one sentence, you’d recognize him instantly.

I’m embarassed to say that I knew the name vaguely when I heard it today, but couldn’t place it. But once I read he was the King of Voiceovers, I remembered who he was and was suddenly bummed out by the news that he passed away on Monday.

I like Vin Diesel, I admit it. Pitch Black is one of my favorite science fiction movies films, and I enjoyed Chronicles of Riddick. So when I saw the first trailers for Babylon A.D., I was actually intrigued and figured with Diesel and a cool looking science fiction story, nothing could go wrong.

Oh boy did something bad happen to this movie.

I haven’t seen it yet, and by all accounts, I shouldn’t. But some of the stuff being said about just how bad it is actually make me want to witness for myself what all the fuss is about.
