Special Features - 5 Movies That Divide Opinion

9 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Helen Murdoch on five films that have really divided opinion...

Man of Steel has taken the UK and Us box office by storm but it has divided cinemagoers and critics alike. Some have hailed Zack Snyder’s all actioner, whereas others have condemned its uneven storytelling and hectic action. Watching a film is always a deeply personal experience and one film can be adored by millions and equally hated by millions. That got me thinking about what other films have sparked such fierce debate amongst movie goers...

Prometheus

You only have to type Prometheus into Google to see the range of criticism and appreciation for Ridley Scott’s return to the Alien-verse. Some hailed it as a return to form and welcomed the return of the Xenomorph. On the other hand people hated Scott’s new incarnation so much that there are hundreds of blogs dedicated to Prometheus criticism. »

Do You Care About Frame Rates? Douglas Trumbull Has A New Short Film He Wants To Show You In 120fps

23 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

"2001: A Space Odyssey," "Blade Runner," "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind," "The Tree Of Life"...the resume of VFX legend Douglas Trumbull pretty much speaks for itself. But he's also been a filmmaker as well, helming two oddities from the '70s and '80s -- "Silent Running" and "Brainstorm" (the latter notable for being the film Natalie Wood died while making) -- but hasn't done anything since except for a few shorts and some theme park stuff. But he's got some big plans...if the technology can arrive to make it happen... Trumbull has quietly been assembling a short film entitled "Ufotog," a new ten-minute movie about a photographer trying to snap a photo of a UFO or something that is boasting some big, orgasmic tech details for those of you who are into that sort of thing. You see, it was shot in 4K 3D, on 3D »

James Cameron Talks Vegan Diets During Acceptance Speech

18 June 2013 7:39 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

From Mother Nature Network's Michael d'Estries:

James Cameron is still a vegan — and he picked a massive celebration to remind the world.

The 58-year-old filmmaker and ocean explorer was honored on June 13 during the National Geographic Society's 125th anniversary gala with “Explorer of the Year” for his successful solo dive last year to the deepest point of the Pacific Ocean. During his speech, Cameron urged the packed house of scientists and explorers to consider dropping animal products and reap the benefits.

“I’ve had an epiphany recently,” Cameron said. “I want to challenge all of you as people of deep conscience, people who are environment stewards of the earth and oceans … By changing what you eat, you will change the entire contract between the human species and the natural world."

Cameron, who announced he'd gone vegan in October of last year, told the crowd that the switch had a huge impact on him. »

Douglas Trumbull set to return with Hollywood with two sci-fi movies

18 June 2013 4:50 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Special effects maestro is preparing directorial comeback with films shot with latest higher frame rate technology

One of the most revered figures in science fiction film-making, the director and visual effects expert Douglas Trumbull, is planning his first feature films in more than 30 years.

Trumbull, who worked on the groundbreaking effects for films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner, as well as directing cult classics such as 1971's environmentally themed Silent Running, has two full-length projects in the works. Both are taking advantage of higher frame rate technology, similar to that used by Peter Jackson on his Hobbit films, and will go into production once Trumbull has completed an experimental short using the same process. Intriguingly, the film-maker is working in 3D at an unprecedented 120 frames per second, more than twice the speed of the 48 frames per second rate used by Jackson.

Trumbull, 71, largely left the film »

The Terminator Rights Will Return To James Cameron In 2019

15 June 2013 2:26 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

We know Terminator 5 has been picked up by Paramount Pictures, along with Megan Ellison and her brother David. However, the Ellisons only have claim over the rights until the year 2019. What happens to the franchise after that, you ask? The rights to The Terminator franchise will be regained by James Cameron, director of the ’84 original.

The financing details are as such: Megan Ellison of Annapurna Pictures, who staked her claim on the fifth installment last year, will account for 33%. David Ellison and his company Skydance Productions will also contribute 33%. The rest will go to Paramount. This is not the first time Annapurna and Skydance have teamed up, as the recent Tom Cruise actioner Jack Reacher was also a product of their partnership.

While The Terminator rights would be back in James Cameron’s hands, this does not necessarily mean he will be adding to the series. It is highly »

Shanghai Festival Plays Up Global Image

14 June 2013 5:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

With B.O. rising by nearly 30% every year, small wonder that China’s film festivals are attracting more attention, and with that attention, competition.

The well-established jewel in the crown, the Shanghai Intl. Film Festival, which runs June 15-23 in China’s financial capital, has seen a rival festival rise in China’s political capital, Beijing, where many of the country’s filmmakers are choosing to base themselves to be near the main decision-making bodies.

Beijing is home to the Film Bureau and to China Film Group, the two state-owned entities that decide whether a film lives or dies in China, regardless if it’s from the biggest studio in Hollywood or from a neophyte indie Beijing helmer.

This political leverage has helped the Beijing fest lure big names like James Cameron, and this year’s event included DreamWorks topper Jeffrey Katzenberg and Lucasfilm prexy Kathleen Kennedy.

With this kind of muscle to compete against, »

Schwarzenegger reveals Terminator 5 shoot date, new details

13 June 2013 10:45 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

News Simon Brew 14 Jun 2013 - 06:41

Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed where he fits into Terminator 5, and when it shoots. Plus more on King Conan and Triplets...

It looks as if the brand new Terminator film is finally starting to get somewhere. Earlier this week, it was revealed that Paramount Pictures was picking up distribution rights to Terminator 5. And Arnold Schwarzenegger has now confirmed to TheArnoldFans that the film is going to start shooting in January 2014.

Furthermore, he's also been clear about his role in the new movie. "I'm very happy that the studios want me to be in Terminator 5 and to star As the Terminator, when we start shooting in January".

It'd be easy for us to read too much into this, but is Schwarzenegger inferring there that he might be the single Terminator in the movie, going back to the approach of the very first movie? »

New YouTube Channel Lets You Get Schooled in Film by Roger Corman on the Cheap

13 June 2013 4:30 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »

Roger Corman is a living legend. The "King of the B's" has an extensive film library that he'd like to share with the world via YouTube's new subscription service. For a measly four bucks a month, you essentially get your own personal film school. Corman had an eye for great stories, marketability and fresh talent — having given numerous filmmakers and stars their first big break, including Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, James Cameron, Ron Howard and Martin Scorsese. The successful independent genre director wrote a fantastic book about his career, How I Made a Hundred Movies In Hollywood and Never Lost a Dime, and his new YouTube project would make an excellent supplement to the text. Corman's Drive-in offers audiences unlimited...

"Terminator 5" Re-Wired For January Start

13 June 2013 1:19 PM, PDT | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »

Paramount will now distribute the Annapurna Pictures', Skydance Productions 3D feature, "Terminator 5" for producers Megan and David Ellison, with production targeting a January 2014 start.

"I'm very happy that the studios want me to be in 'Terminator 5'", said Arnold Schwarzenegger, "and to star as the 'Terminator'. We start shooting in January..."

Annapurna Pictures purchased the rights to the "Terminator" May 2011, with the stipulation that if nothing is done with the property by a specific date, screen rights would revert back to "Terminator" co-creators James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd.

"The Terminator" released in 1984, was inspired by themes and premises by science fiction author Harlan Ellison, then scripted by Gale Anne Hurd and Cameron, with direction by Cameron, after Roger Corman passed on the project.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Confirms Who He Is Playing In Terminator 5…

13 June 2013 10:49 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

… and it’ll be The Terminator itself.

Despite turning 65-years-old next month, Arnie has agreed to once again go under heavy make-up and likely de-ageing CGI effects to play a robot who shouldn’t have aged at all in the three decades that has passed since James Cameron released the original film. How they will address the fact he has aged like a human, or whether they pretend he hasn’t, we can’t yet say. Maybe they’ll be a storyline reason, maybe they won’t… but the ravages of time will be there for everyone to see anyway.

TheArnoldFans.com once again have the scoop on Arnie confirming his specific role in the movie, which may also confirm that Arnie will have top billing;

Schwarzenegger says he will be a cyborg, not a human, in Terminator 5

13 June 2013 8:54 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

On the heels of the news that Terminator 5 may be heading to Paramount to begin filming in 2014 comes the latest news on the character Arnold Schwarzenegger will play in the latest sequel to the James Cameron classic. While Schwarzenegger has appeared in all four movies so far, his cameo in Terminator: Salvation was more of a CGI trick instead of an actual appearance. Speculation has been that Schwarzenegger will be playing a human character who serves as the model for the T-800 from the »

Arnold Schwarzenegger Says Terminator 5 Will Film Early 2014

12 June 2013 6:53 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

It was just reported that Megan Ellison (Zero Dark Thirty) and David Ellison (World War Z), the children of billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison, have partnered with Paramount Pictures to bring "Terminator 5" to the big screen. Arnold Schwarzenegger recently confirmed that "Terminator 5" is one of three films (including "Triplets" and "Conan") that he's set to return for. And now, during the 21st Century Financial Education Summit in Perth, Australia, the actor revealed that "'Terminator 5" starts filming early 2014." It seems that Paramount has made the project a priority. And for good reason, since the rights to the franchise revert back to James Cameron in 2019. The goal has been to make two more installments, but the hope is to also squeeze in a third one. »

The 10 Best Moments From This Season’s Many, Many Awards Shows

12 June 2013 1:15 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

As many concerned television executives will tell you, Americans rarely sit down to watch TV at the same time anymore — unless an awards show is on, that is, in which case everyone orders a pizza and fires up Twitter simultaneously, so that we can all snark on celebrities in real time. It’s our new national pastime. So in that spirit, here are Vulture’s ten favorite moments from awards-show telecasts from the past year. It probably isn't a surprise to learn that Amy Poehler features heavily. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler at the Golden Globes You want a single joke? Okay, fine. How about the James Cameron one? Or when they made Daniel Day-Lewis do the little E.T. finger? Or Amy Poehler’s fake teeth? Or Amy Poehler sitting on George Clooney’s lap? Yeah, sorry, can’t pick just one. “Mandy Patinkin, holla.” — Claire Danes at the Emmys »

Watch: 1998 James Cameron Hosted TV Special Exploring Orson Welles' 'The War Of The Worlds'

12 June 2013 11:36 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

It's hard to believe in this era of 3D, CGI and Twitter feeds full of "Game Of Thrones" spoilers, but there was once a time when radio was king. And before he made one of the greatest movies of all time with "Citizen Kane," Orson Welles was a master of the airwaves. This was never more evident that his October 30, 1938 broadcast adaptation of H.G. Wells' iconic "War Of The Worlds." Presented in the format of fake news bulletins, the show was a hit but it was so good, that many listeners thought they were listening to updates from a real alien invasion, a situation not helped by the fact that there were no commercial breaks. It has gone down in history, enshrined at National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress. And yet, it continues to fascinate. Indeed, James Cameron himself hosted a 1998 TV special for the Sci-Fi Channel, »

Terminator 5 Still Trying to Move Forward

12 June 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures and David Ellison's Skydance Productions are determined to get a Terminator 5 into production. I'm actually surprised it isn't farther along. Slowly but surely a new Terminator movie will go into production.

The production companies have been looking for a major studio to team up with to help bring this movie to the big screen, and now they're negotiations with Paramount Pictures.

Earlier this year is was reported that Patrick Lussier and Laeta Kalogridis would write the script for the fifth installment of the franchise. Lussier brought us terrible films such as Drive Angry and My Bloody Valentine 3D, and Kalogridis wrote some decent films such as Shutter Island and helped with James Cameron's Avatar. It's an interesting team, and the idea behind bringing these two writers together was that Kalogridis would be good for providing a solid story and psychological elements, and Lussier »
