21 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Guillermo del Toro's robots v aliens smackdown promises to combine a little class with its Michael Bay-style pyrotechnics. It could be the moment the sub-genre grows up
It may not go down all that well in the world of Michael Bay, but Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim is fast shaping up as the Transformers it's Ok to like. A new extended trailer for the hugely hyped robots v aliens smackdown dropped earlier this week, confirming the Mexican film-maker's determination to show that enormous warring monstrosities can be a thing of surprising beauty.
Co-written by Del Toro himself, the latest science-fiction wannabe blockbuster to hit the big screen in 2013 is being pitched as a film which combines classy atmospheric eye candy with all the furious action one might expect from one of Bay's tortuous explosion-fests. "What we went for is a very, very romantic look," Del Toro told »

Gerard Butler Will Replace Liam Hemsworth In The Raven
16 May 2013 12:19 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Gerard Butler is a bit of a hit or miss actor. For every 300 he makes, he also gives us something like Playing for Keeps. The Scottish actor has had his fair share of ups and downs but after the recent success of his latest film, Olympus Has Fallen, it looks like he’s on the rise again. Today we’re hearing that Butler will step in to replace Liam Hemsworth in the sci-fi action film, The Raven.
The project began as a short film in 2010 before being snapped up by Mark Wahlberg, who planned to remake it. Liam Hemsworth was initially attached to star but that has since fallen through and now Butler will take his place. He’ll play the main role, that of Chris Black “a young man on the run from a robotic police force.” Not sure if Butler can qualify as a young man but now »

Gerard Butler Flocks To The Raven
16 May 2013 12:13 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
As we pointed out when Liam Hemsworth was rumoured as star, no, The Raven is not a remake of the Edgar Allen Poe wannabe period thriller that starred John Cusack. It’s actually based on Ricardo de Montreuil’s ambitious, conspiracy-minded dystopian sci-fi thriller short (see below) and it looks like Gerard Butler is up to take the lead instead.Universal nabbed the rights to make the short into a movie back in 2010 with support from Mark Wahlberg’s production company. Assuming he signs on the dotted line, Butler will be a man who possesses remarkable powers that is hunted by the government and the military, who consider him both a threat and a possible new weapon.De Montreuil is set to direct based on a script that has seen work from Justin Marks and, more recently de Montreuil himself, working with original short scribe Antonio Perez.Butler last saw action in Olympus Has Fallen, »

Gerard Butler Replaces Liam Hemsworth In Sci-Fi Actioner 'The Raven'
16 May 2013 11:25 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
For a minute, it looked like Gerard Butler might be done. The Scottish actor had never quite cemented his stardom since breaking through with "300," and had a series of painfull and gigantic flops in the last few months, with both "Chasing Mavericks" and "Playing For Keeps" proving to be box office disasters. But then salvation arrived, in the unlikely shape of "Olympus Has Fallen," the White House-set "Die Hard" knock off that proved to be a surprise hit, currently nesting just under the $100 million mark. It was proof that Butler does have an audience in the right kind of picture, and Butler looks to be learning from the lesson, as according to Heat Vision, he's just signed on to the sci-fi actioner "The Raven." Thankfully unrelated to the John Cusack/Edgar Allan Poe train wreck, the long-gestating project began life as a short film back in 2010, and was quickly snapped up for a remake, »

Bruce Willis Ready for Expiration
16 May 2013 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
Bruce Willis makes a lot of movies. Let's get that out of the way right now. And some of them do better than others, as he bounces between drama, comedy and action movies. The production company Emmett/Furla Films has made quite a mark with their action dramas over the years with the upcoming 2 Guns , starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington, being one many are looking forward to. Willis has made three previous films with Emmett/Furla--the action-thriller 16 Blocks , the Stephen Frears-directed Vegas comedy Lay the Favorite and the straight to video Fire with Fire --but now he's going to go for a fourth by starring in their new action-thriller Expiration . This may sound more Willis' speed going by his past movies, as he'll play a hitman who is looking for an antidote »

President Pressures Biz
President Pranab Mukherjee is urging the film industry to provide positive values following rising reports of rapes of minors. Speaking at the National Film Awards in Delhi May 3, Mukherjee said, “The recent incidents of crime and against women and children have shaken the conscience of the nation. I would like to stress the crucial role cinema can and must play in resetting the moral compass .” The film biz has drawn flak for titillating song-and-dance sequences, but TV has escaped unscathed, though kids re-create those sequences for talent shows.

Top 10 games that should be movies – and their ideal directors
15 May 2013 7:40 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
John Carpenter says he'd love to adapt the survival horror title – and surely there's room for Skyrim, Far Cry or Uncharted
"I would love to make Dead Space, I'll tell you that right now," said John Carpenter last week, adding the celebrated director, expert moustache cultivator and avid gamer to the the swelling ranks of reputable film-makers (ie those whose names aren't spelled "Paul Ws Anderson" or "Uwe Boll") who recognise games as another viable well of narrative inspiration – equal in richness, if not yet in popular reputation, to any other artform.
And it's difficult to envisage a director better suited or more qualified to interpret the dank corridors and squelchy, shambling horrors of the Usg Ishimura. The Thing, The Fog and Halloween clearly influenced Visceral's icky franchise, and Carpenter's ideas feeding back into a mythology they helped create gives a pleasing sense of symmetry.

Blu-ray Release Date Rumors: Star Trek Into Darkness and Pain and Gain
14 May 2013 5:39 PM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
A little birdie dropped off potential Blu-ray and DVD release dates for the J.J. Abrams sequel Star Trek Into Darkness and Michael Bay's black comedy Pain & Gain starring Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg.
Before I get into the dates, please remember that these are unconfirmed by the studio and could very well change between now and when the Blu-rays are actually released. Nothing is official until the studio formally announces it.
If the intel is correct, Pain & Gain will arrive first on Tuesday, August 13. That seems like a safe date that avoids the slow month of July and gets a head start on the busier post-Labor Day time for releases.
The Blu-ray and DVD release date for Star Trek Into Darkness that I have is September 10, 2013. Hopefully Amazon.com starts taking pre-orders for this one later this week or next week after it arrives in theaters. »

Box office report: 'Iron Man 3' leads with $72.5 million; 'The Great Gatsby' shines in second
12 May 2013 10:56 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
If second place is the first loser — then this week, that’s a pretty great place to be. Warner Bros.’ literary adaptation The Great Gatsby stunned the industry today with a magnificent $51.1 million debut. Of course, that number wasn’t large enough to take down Disney’s superhero sequel, Iron Man 3, which topped the box office for a second weekend with $72.5 million, but it’s impressive nonetheless. Ah, the summer movie season: when films actually make money! (Provided that they’re not called Peeples.)
