Warner Bros. Lines Up Top Secret Sci-Fi Movie 'The Wind' From Screenwriter David Koepp & Director Nic Mathieu
25 May 2012 5:59 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Warner Bros. has a healthy amount of sci-fi projects brewing, with the Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer's "Cloud Atlas" opening December 6th and Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim" and Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity" opening in 2013. Not much has been revealed about any of the films so far -- "Cloud Atlas" will somehow condense David Mitchell's multi-storyline, epic novel into three hours, "Pacific Rim" will see humans fight monsters and "Gravity" will see Sandra Bullock trapped in space (literally) -- but there's even less known about Warners' latest sci-fi endeavor.
Titled "The Wind," all that's known is that it will be set in a space colony, so that means....the title's ironic? Whatever it's about, screenwriter David Koepp, who worked most recently on "Men in Black III" and either wrote or co-wrote movies like "Jurassic Park," "Mission: Impossible" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (but »

‘Ted’, ‘Life of Pi’ & ‘Red Lights’ Land New Release Dates
24 May 2012 7:47 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Paramount shocked the movie blogosphere yesterday, when it removed G.I. Joe: Retaliation from this year’s summer slate barely a month before it was due to open in theaters. Universal is taking advantage of the change – by bumping up the Seth MacFarlane comedy Ted to take Joe‘s previous spot.
Fox has also moved up Ang Lee’s Life of Pi adaptation to take the November 2012 release date previously occupied by Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity (which Warner Bros. has pushed back to 2013). Meanwhile, Millennium has selected a release date for Red Lights, the new thriller from Buried director Rodrigo Cortés.
MacFarlane’s feature-lenth writing/directing debut, Ted – or as we like to call it, Family Guy with a Teddy Bear - is now scheduled to arrive on June 29th, instead of two weeks later on July 13th. The R-Rated ...

Fox Moves Ang Lee’s ‘Life of Pi’ To Thanksgiving; Set Vince Vaughn & Owen Wilson’s ‘Internship’ For 2013
23 May 2012 5:54 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Hollywood seems to be in a release date shuffle frenzy today, after it was revealed Paramount is pushing G.I. Joe: Retaliation to spring 2013 and Universal is putting their raunchy comedy Ted in it’s place. Now it’s 20th Century Fox’s turn, as the studio has announced new dates for two upcoming films via Twitter.
First, Ang Lee‘s Life of Pi, based on the popular book, has been moved up exactly a month to November 21st, 2012 where it will fill vacancies left by Alfonso Cuaron‘s Gravity and Keanu Reeves‘ 47 Ronin. It’s certainly a smart move considering how insanely packed the following month is. Starring Suraj Sharma and Tobey Maguire the film, which the first footage of got excellent response from CinemaCon, follows “a boy who is lost at sea for 227 days in a lifeboat with three unusual and increasingly hungry companions — a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, »

Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy to Star in Buddy Cop Comedy
21 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Bridesmaids director Paul Feig is set to direct an Untitled buddy cop comedy for 20th Century Fox, and it will star Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.
The script for the film was written by Parks and Recreation writer Katie Dippold, and the story "follows the strained working relationship between a high-strung FBI agent (Bullock) and an unconventional Boston cop (McCarthy) who team to take down a Russian gangster."
Feig did a great job with Bridesmaids, and McCarthy was freakin' hilarious in it. It will be fun to see her team up with Bullock, I think they'll make for a good on screen team. I just hope this doesn't turn out being one of those typical Hollywood cookie cutter buddy cop comedies. It'd be nice if it has some fun and different original elements to it.
Production is scheduled to start shooting this summer, right after McCarthy is finished working on »

WB Messes With the Space-Time Continuum by Altering the Release of Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity
18 May 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
Back in December, we brought you the official synopsis for the Sandra Bullock and George Clooney starred sci-fi flick Gravity, written by Alfonso Cuarón and his son, Jonas Cuarón. Now, Warner Bros. Pictures has shifted the official release date for the film.
Gravity focuses on the character of Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock), a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission. By her side is veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney), in command of his last flight before retiring. On a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone –tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth… and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be »

"Cloud Atlas," "Paranoia," "Sin City 2" Dates
17 May 2012 8:06 PM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Thompson on Hollywood reports that Warner Bros. Pictures has spent a cool $20 million picking up distribution rights to the Wachowski siblings and Tom Twyker‘s highly ambitious adaptation of "Cloud Atlas".
The film, which currently has a fairly epic runtime of 164 minutes, is currently targeting a U.S. domestic release on December 6th this year. The film is essentially taking the slot left (albeit two weeks later) after Warners pushed back another ambitious sci-fi project, Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity", to 2013.
Next up, Relativity Media has set a September 27th 2013 release for "Paranoia", Robert Luketic's thriller about an entry-level staffer at a giant telco who is blackmailed to become a corporate spy. Gary Oldman, Harrison Ford, and Lucas Till also star.
Finally, Dimension Films has announced an October 4th 2013 release for "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" which Mickey Rourke and Jessica Alba are confirmed to be returning for. »

Warner Bros. Delays 'Gravity' to 2013, What Does It Say about the State of Cinema?
16 May 2012 3:30 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Deadline report recently that Warner Bros. has decided to delay Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity, which was previously scheduled for November 21, but now has an unspecified 2013 release date. The Deadline write-up says: Warner Bros already has a full plate in the fourth quarter -- Argo, Gangster Squad, The Hobbit and The Great Gatsby among its titles -- so it's possible the studio wanted to give the Alfonso Cuaron drama some extra breathing room, especially since it will need IMAX's 3D screens, which are in short supply. While Deadline is merely speculating and the reason for delay could be any number of reasons, I found it interesting a lack of IMAX 3D screens would be one of the first possibilities Deadline would turn to. While I have no problem with studios now establishing year-round release dates for quality cinema, if IMAX screens were indeed the reason for the delay it just goes »

Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity pushed to 2013
15 May 2012 11:39 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Damn every single person responsible for Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity being pushed from November of this year to an unspecified date in 2013. Damn you all! I am sure the technical needs of the film are responsible for this delay. Executive producer Chris DeFaria had this to say about how the film is composed. According to DeFaria, Gravity opens with a continuous 17-minute shot that sets the stage for the protagonist’s (Sandra Bullock) desperate attempt to stay alive and return to »

Sandra Bullock's 'Gravity' Shifts To 2013 Release Date
15 May 2012 10:29 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Alfonso Cuaron is doing some crazy stuff in his upcoming film, "Gravity." In fact, it seems like it's so out of this world (literally) that Warner Bros has opted to push the movie's release date back until 2013.
Originally "Gravity" was expected to hit theaters in November, just in time for awards season, but the effects-heavy film was recently test screened for some audiences to mixed reviews. Many commented that the CGI was "far from being done," which might have spurred the current delay.
That leaves "Gravity" without an official release date, though at least now "Gangster Squad" has been slated in for September 7. After a great first trailer, the Ruben Fleischer-directed period drama has garnered some serious buzz.
"Gravity" stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, though the movie is said to largely follow Bullock by herself in space. She plays a medical engineer named Dr. Ryan Stone who is »

Clooney And Bullock Sci-Fi Pushed To 2013 Release
15 May 2012 7:09 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
It was touted as one of the most intriguing movies of 2012, but now we will have to wait until next year to see Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts stranded in open space, after Warner Bros confirmed that it has pushed back Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity from November until 2013.
Many have been looking forward Cuaron’s new project, his first since 2006′s sci-fi Children Of Men. Warner Bros have stated that 2013 would give the chance a better chance of success due to limited IMAX and 3D screens, most of which will be clogged up with Bond, Twilight and The Hobbit.

Sorry, Sandra: Highly Anticipated 'Gravity' Bumped To 2013
15 May 2012 6:30 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"Gangster Squad": the new "Contagion"? Warner Bros. sure hopes so!
The studio has finally settled on a release date for the Ryan Gosling-led gangster film: Sept. 7, the same weekend that Warner Bros. successfully opened "Contagion" in 2011. The star-studded apocalypse porn from director Steven Soderbergh debuted with $22.4 million in ticket sales, on its way to $75.6 million in North American receipts. Around the world, "Contagion" earned $135.4 million.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer ("Zombieland") and starring Gosling, Josh Brolin, Sean Penn and Emma Stone, "Gangster Squad" was initially pegged as a potential Oscar contender. Its style-over-substance first trailer and post-Labor Day release date, however, say otherwise.
Meanwhile, in disappointing news: Warner Bros. also shifted the release date of "Gravity" to sometime in 2013. The film -- the follow-up to "Children of Men" for director Alfonso Cuaron -- was initially earmarked for a Nov. 21 rollout. "Gravity" stars Sandra Bullock as an astronaut lost »

"Gravity" Delayed, "Gangster" Moved Up
15 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Warner Bros. Pictures are playing around with their release schedule as two of their major upcoming features have seen surprising shifts according to Box-Office Mojo.
The most notable is Alfonso Cuaron's ambitious and highly anticipated sci-fi tale "Gravity" which has now been pushed back from November 21st to an unspecified 2013 release date. With the an already over crowded late Fall/Holiday season and extensive visual effects to complete - this isn't a huge shock.
Warners has also moved up the period gangland drama "Gangster Squad" by a month to September 7th, making it the only wide release that weekend. »

Release of 'Gravity' starring Clooney, Bullock pushed back to 2013
14 May 2012 11:33 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
George Clooney and Sandra Bullock's space drama won't be launching into U.S. theaters as soon as originally planned. The forthcoming IMAX 3-D sci-fi "Gravity" directed by Alfonso Cuaron ("Children of Men") has been yanked from the crowded holiday release calendar (it was slated to hit theaters on November 21) and rescheduled for an as-yet undetermined date in 2013, according to EW. The move partially comes as a result of too much competition for limited IMAX screens (there are around 500 total in the U.S.) over the blockbuster-crammed end-of-year frame. With a slew of heavily-anticipated franchise entries (including "Breaking Dawn - Part 2", »

Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity Pushed to 2013
14 May 2012 9:28 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men had this one breathtaking one-take that seemed to last forever, or at least seven minutes. His next film, Gravity, has been said for two years to feature an uninterrupted twenty-minute opening. So why the hell is this thing stalled yet again, from November to sometime in 2013? Why did no one want to act in this [till Sandra Bullock! Yay!) and why isn't everyone doing everything in their power to have it released tomorrow? »

Sandra Bullock, George Clooney sci-fi drama 'Gravity' pushed to 2013

One of the most intriguing movies of 2012 is now one of the most intriguing movies of 2013. Gravity, the 3-D sci-fi drama starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts stranded in open space, has been pushed from its Nov. 21 release to 2013 by Warner Bros., EW has confirmed.
The studio remains bullish on the movie, director Alfonso Cuarón’s first film since his highly acclaimed 2006 sci-fi drama Children of Men. But between a lack of available 3-D IMAX screens and a highly competitive holiday moviegoing season that includes a new Bond movie, the final Twilight movie, and The Hobbit, Warner Bros. »

Alfonso Cuaron's 'Gravity' Pushed To 2013; 'Gangster Squad' Lands September 7th Release Date
14 May 2012 5:48 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Well, if you thought the half-finished, test-screening speculation on Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity" last week was bad enough, just watch what some corners of the internet will be saying about this latest update on the film.
Warner Bros. has bumped the ambitious sci-fi thriller from its originally planned release date of November 21st to a currently undetermined date in 2013. Ruh-roh! The Film Is In Trouble! Actually, let's just take a moment to consider things. The movie would have landing on a holiday weekend that follows "Skyfall" opening two weeks earlier and "Twilight: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" the week before. If that's not enough, it would've faced competition from "Red Dawn," "The Silver Linings Playbook," "Parental Guidance" (that movie with Billy Crystal/Bette Midler) and "Rise Of The Guardians" (in 3D no less) all opening wide at the same time. All that with Warner Bros.' sister company New Line dropping »

WB Shifts 'Gravity' to 2013, 'Gangster Squad' Now Set for September
14 May 2012 5:31 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Now they know what they've got on their hands. After a recent test screening in Los Angeles of Alfonso Cuarón's new sci-fi Gravity (which result in a few leaked early reviews), Warner Bros has moved the film off the 2012 release schedule and into 2013 instead. No new date is set yet, but BoxOfficeMojo and Deadline both confirm it's no longer arriving in November at Thanksgiving this year, as originally scheduled. Damn - this is one I was very excited about! Additionally, WB has now given Ruben Fleischer's Gangster Squad, which just debuted its trailer, an official release date in September - a rather fast opening after the trailer. The big WB has now set Gangster Squad, which stars Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Anthony Mackie, Emma Stone and Josh Brolin, for release on September 7th later this year. That means it's playing against The Cold Light of Day right after »

Warner Bros. Moves Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity to 2013; Sets Gangster Squad for Release on September 7
14 May 2012 4:29 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Many people (myself included) were counting director Alfonso Cuaron’s ambitious sci-fi pic Gravity as one of their most anticipated films of 2012. Well, now we’re all gonna have to wait a little longer, as Warner Bros. has lifted the film off of its November release date and set it for sometime in 2013. This is a big bummer, but the film most likely has some insane visual effects work to finish in post-production. Sandra Bullock stars as an astronaut stranded in space, and she’s apparently the only actor onscreen for the majority of the film. Though I’m sad to have to wait, I’m confident that the move was made in the film’s best interest. I’d rather have the Gravity Cuaron intends to release rather than a rushed version. It's also entirely possible that Warner Bros. just felt that their slate was too crowded to premiered Gravity. »

WB Delays ‘Gravity’ To 2013, Sets ‘Gangster Squad’ For September
14 May 2012 3:53 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Well, this is a shame. My most-anticipated movie of the year has now garnered the same title, but for next year. Warner Bros. has announced they’ve lifted Alfonso Cuaron‘s Children of Men follow-up, the sci-fi epic Gravity, from November 21st, 2012 to an undisclosed spot in 2013.
We provided the first impressions of the first testing screening last week, for the film starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, but word is that the visual effects were in the very rough stages, only 10% to 15% complete. For such an ambitious undertaking, these filmmakers might need a little more time to complete this one. Universal Pictures recently moved Keanu Reeves‘47 Ronin from this spot as well, with Parental Guidance, the Red Dawn remake, Rise of the Guardians and The Silver Linings Playbook remaining.
In other release date news, WB has also placed their 1940s-set crime drama Gangster Squad on the date of September 7th, »
