your personal road map to what's going on in Hollywood
Jonah Hex is one of those “off-the-radar” comic book films that’s receiving very little, if any, marketing before it releases on June 18th. We’ve seen a teaser poster way back when and smatterings of behind-the-scenes photos showing Megan Fox walking out of her trailer (yawn), but as of today, we have the OFFICIAL new poster for Jonah Hex.
I don’t know if you know this or not but Iron Man 2 debuts no more than 8 days from now and on the heels of some super secret screenings (like the LA premiere and the Austin “fan premiere”) throughout the US, we have gotten some early buzz from the ones who have seen it.
In a weird marketing move by Summit Entertainment regarding their beloved Twilight franchise, the latest trailer for The Twilight Saga:Eclipse has debuted today by way of: the media behemoth known as Oprah. Huh?! I know you’re asking yourself the same question I did when I heard this news, “What does Oprah have to do with Twilight?” And the answer is: both of them attract and are loved by TONS of adoring women!
I don’t get a chance, being the Editor-In-Chief of Truth On Cinema, to see every movie that comes out, so sometimes I have to send my *local* correspondents to check it out for me by way of FREE Advanced Screening Passes, and in turn they are to give me a Quick-Hit Review of what they thought about the film. In this instance my Mid-Cities Truth On Cinema Correspondent Troy, had a chance to see The Losers before it debuts this weekend and this is what he had to say about it.
One of these days I’m going to learn. This line of thought might seem familiar to you if you’ve read some of my other reviews, but I’m going to say it anyway. Kick-Ass is one of those movies that takes a unique and interesting idea and somehow manages to completely ruin it.
I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of a little film about a guy in an electrical mechanic suit that shoots fire/electricity/energy pulses out of his palm, who also happens to be a man-whore, called Iron Man…but if you haven’t, NEWS ALERT: they are making a sequel off that very simple description.
Everyday it seems like there’s another Spider-Man casting rumor, and it usually has something to do with whatever film is hot at the moment and whatever young twentysomething male is corresponding to said film. What helps the situation is if the male in question is relatively unknown and possibly only been in small Disney films that a handful of people have seen. And as soon as they release the “casting rumor” there’s another studio that’s quickly there to deny it. It’s becoming tiresome day in and day out with deciding on whether or not to publish the so-called casting rumors. So, instead of me trying to keep up with the names, I want to know what you think.
We have waited and waited to hear who was going to direct the long-awaited and long-gestated Avengers film ever since its existence was announced at Comic Con last year. “There is going to be an Avengers film in 2012″ was the final word as of last year and now that we know who the Hulk is, who Iron Man clearly is, and Captain America has been named, who is going to take on this epic adventure and try their hand at corralling these egos into one film? Some of the names that have been tossed around include Louis Leterrier, Jon Favreau, Matthew Vaughn, and Joe Johnston, but of all the names talked about, here’s one that I can assure you, never crossed anyone’s mind.
So, back in June it was reported (read: rumored) that Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams were once again teaming up to bring us another Mission Impossible film. Nothing had been decided and at the time, it was merely a pipe dream that both of them would have loved to see happen. Supposedly they had even worked on a story that, according to them, was “really cool.” Fast forward almost a year and with nothing substantial really coming out about the film, we get word about the possibility of a Pixar alumni trying his hands at directing Cruise in the M:I 4 film.
There are times when a movie comes out or is coming out that just doesn’t fall on my radar and necessitate an entire post or feature. For whatever reason, I don’t care about it or it’s not something that I know I am going to go see. Some movies are just not for me. (Anything American Pie, anything to do with Harold and Kumar, or anything to do with Victorian times) Sometimes, though, despite my initial indifference, I’ll watch a trailer and it might actually spark an interest in me and then it secretly makes a blip on my radar.
A movie that has all of a sudden jumped onto my radar is Tom Cruise’s next action flick called “Knight And Day.” Anything Cruise does tends to avoid my radar and land in the forgotten pile, but this time around I have become semi-interested.
