In the past week, a lot of attention has naturally been focused on one of next summer’s biggest blockbusters, The Dark Knight Rises, as we got the immense first full-length trailer that pretty much drops your jaw to the floor.
The Nolan brothers’ conclusion to their Batman trilogy is of course not the only superhero blockbuster we can look forward to next summer, with Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man hitting our cinemas two weeks earlier at the start of July.
We got our first look at the film when the trailer hit back in July this year, and since then we’ve seen plenty of great posters, images, and banners. Marvel have now put out half a dozen brilliant new images from the upcoming film, via ComicBookMovie.com, and they give us another awesome look at the film’s leads, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.

There is, as I’m sure you’re aware, a holy trinity of Davids working within American mainstream cinema at the present time. Fincher, Lynch and Cronenberg. For me the one that has had the greatest cultural impact in the last 20 years has to be the former. He is that very rare director blessed with both box-office success and a cult classic following.
Born 1962 in Denver, Colorado, it was Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid that gave him the film-making bug and he started shooting 8mm shorts at the ripe old age of eight. After getting a job at Industrial Light and Magic where he worked on Return Of The Jedi, he went on to direct high grade music videos, for the likes of Madonna and Micheal Jackson and commercials, one of which, for the American Cancer Society in 1984, featured a foetus smoking a cigarette. A young Marla Singer, perhaps? »

Today we have some new images from major upcoming films. First up, we’ll tackle the smallest, with Tim Burton‘s feature-length adaptation of his black-and-white short Frankenweenie. We provided the first looks earlier this fall, but above we see another look at a boy and his dog. Former Burton collaborators Winona Ryder (Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands), Catherine O’Hara (Beetlejuice), Martin Landau (Ed Wood), andMartin Short (Mars Attacks) will lend their voices to Frankenweenie, which hits theaters October 5, 2012. Burton’s other big 2012 film, Dark Shadows, arrives in May.
Check out the image above and also, thanks to Stitch Kingdom, we have a new still from Pixar’s next feature Brave. The image comes from a scene we’ve seen in the trailer, for the film directed by Mark Andrews (who helmed the Pixar short One Man Band) and features Princess Merida (Kelly MacDonald), Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), The Wise »

I was among the many scratching their heads at the promise of an “untold story” in The Amazing Spider-Man, a movie that’s almost obligated to lay out a tale anyone over the age of seven knows. But, a plot synopsis from the movie’s official site hinted at something that, while not untold in the world of comics, hasn’t come out on screen thus far.
A recent interview conducted with Empire (via Cbm) sees Marc Webb reiterating that approach, all while expanding upon some of the themes and giving us peeks at the action. (Because he was going to publicly say, “No, we’re just kind of selling you the same thing again.”) The meatiest quote on the plot can be read below:
“It’s not a remake, we’re not making Sam’s movie again. It’s a different universe and a different story with different characters. »

Although the only summer blockbuster that seems to be in focus right now is The Dark Knight Rises (with the trailer and prologue hitting select theaters today), there is another that is close behind in terms of my personal anticipation. Coming off (500) Days of Summer, director Marc Webb has leveled up to Sony’s big reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man. The studio has launched a snazzy new site which has a batch of news photos as well as a few story details of the film starring Andrew Garfield.
First up is a synopsis, which is heavy on daddy issues. Sony is also really pushing the “untold story” aspect to differentiate from Sam Raimi‘s trilogy. Then we have character synopsis from our main players, with nothing terribly new except for Parker “unlocking the mystery.” Check it out below followed by the new photos.

Check out a new poster for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans. After catching up with The Amazing Spider-Man at this year's Comic-Con, we knew this was much more special movie than the Sam Raimi incarnation starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. A darker journey which looks like it will be well-worth visiting, and a refreshing take after the tired film franchise (thankfully) came to a halt. The film helmed by Marc Webb of (500) Days of Summer-fame, opens July 3rd, 2012, with a cast including Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Irrfan Khan and Denis Leary. Alvin Sargent, Steve Kloves and James Vanderbilt wrote the script based on the characters by Steve Ditko and Stan Lee. »

Columbia Pictures has released the first teaser poster for The Amazing Spider-Man as they attempt to imply this may be a darker, moodier Spider-Man feature than the Sam Raimi features that ended with Spider-Man 3 in 2007. To go along with the poster, which can be viewed at the bottom of this post, Comic Book Movie has posted three pieces of international art that are a bit more colorful and are said to be part of the international marketing campaign. Those three images can be viewed using the thumbnails directly below.

Next year’s full to bursting with exciting movies, so to help out a little, here’s our pick of 25 must-see movies out in 2012…
As 2011 draws to a close, one eye is inevitably on the treats that are lying ahead for 2012. With that in mind, we've got our line-up of, as things stands, the 25 films that are brightest on our radar.
Now, a couple of disclaimers.
There are films that haven't made the cut here simply because we don't know a fat lot about them yet, or at least not enough to get us fired up. Jack The Giant Killer, Rise Of The Guardians, Red Tails, Chronicle and Dark Shadows all fit into that category.
Plus there are the films that we suspect will turn out strongly, but what we've seen of them so far hasn't blown us away (Brave, Skyfall). Then there are the potential hidden gems (ParaNorman) we'll »

Tick tock. Tick tock. That’s the sound of another book series coming to theaters.
In this case, the newly formed Mythology Entertainment has announced a deal that finds Supernatural creator Eric Kripke hired to write and direct an adaptation of the 1973 John Bellairs series of children’s horror books featuring protagonist Lewis Barnavelt. Deadline had the scoop. A description of the first book, The House With A Clock In Its Walls, follows:
Lewis always dreamed of living in an old house full of secret passageways, hidden rooms, and big marble fireplaces. And suddenly, after the death of his parents, he finds himself in just such a mansion–his Uncle Jonathan’s. When he discovers that his big friendly uncle is also a wizard, Lewis has a hard time keeping himself from jumping up and down in his seat. Unfortunately, what Lewis doesn’t bank on is the fact that »

Back in the 1970's John Bellairs began a series of Gothic horror novels aimed at kids with recently orphaned Lewis Barnavelt as their protagonist. Currently there's a total of 12 books (after Bellairs' death in 1991, author Brad Strickland took over writing the series), which are ripe for adaptation into feature films. Enter Mythology Entertainment, which has hired "Supernatural" creator Eric Kripke to write and produce.
Per Deadline longtime Phoenix Pictures co-president Bradley J. Fischer formed Mythology in partnership with screenwriter/producers Laeta Kalogridis and James Vanderbilt, who will script a few additional projects for the company. With backing from private investors, Mythology will develop and package projects internally before taking them to studios and financiers. The scope is film, TV, and digital.
As for the Barnavelt books, they were illustrated by artist Edward Gorey and began with The House with a Clock in its Walls, which introduced Lewis as he moves »
