The James Clayton Column: No blockbuster season, no flops and no bombs?

16 May 2013 2:07 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Feature James Clayton 17 May 2013 - 05:48

As the summer movie season brings speculation about flops and bombs, James argues that, for viewers, there's no such thing as failure...

We're now well into blockbuster season, and the rest of the summer lies before us bright with big screen promise. The tentpole features are stacked like tenpins on the shiny stage, and you're eyeing them up from afar and you're wearing jaunty shoes. Which ones will fall and which ones will remain standing proudly once the turn's been rolled and the tallies have been totalled up?

The bowling metaphor is ill-fitting and awful (even more ill-fitting and awful than the shoes) so I apologise for chuckin' it up. Nevertheless, if you view it from a certain angle (probably the gutter) the summer movie season does look like a game. It's a kitschy game that's subject to quirks of fate and chance, and it's all about the numbers. »

Leonardo DiCaprio: Could anyone else have been Jay Gatsby?

13 May 2013 2:40 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

The Great Gatsby didn’t take down Iron Man 3 at the box office, but its $51.1 opening weekend was significantly higher than analysts predicted. Audiences — heavily adult and female — were likely drawn to Baz Luhrmann’s surrealistic re-imagination of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel and the film’s hip anachronistic soundtrack, but it’s no secret what really sold this movie: “Three little letters,” said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. head of domestic distribution. “L-e-o.”

Gatsby’s strong debut was a reminder that Leonardo DiCaprio is a Hollywood superhero — even if he’s never played one on the silver screen. »

Universal Dates Lone Survivor Starring Mark Wahlberg and Taylor Kitsch for January 10, 2014 Release

10 May 2013 12:38 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Universal Pictures announced today that it will be releasing director Peter Berg’s (The Rundown) Navy Seal film Lone Survivor on January 10, 2014.  Based on the bestselling non-fiction book of the same name, the film tells the story of four Navy SEALs on an ill-fated covert mission to neutralize a high-level Taliban operative who are ambushed by enemy forces in the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan.  The film’s impressive cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Ben Foster, Emile Hirsch, and Eric Bana. Berg and Kitsch are coming off of last summer’s bomb Battleship, but both have proven themselves to be quite talented in the past, so hopefully Lone Survivor is a return to form.  The film will likely open in New York and Los Angeles at the end of December to qualify for awards season, and will face off against the Sylvester Stallone/Robert De Niro boxing film Grudge Match »

Game of Thrones star Kit Harington was among the celebs who attended last night’s Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins. His Leafs lost, but on the upside, he did make the JumboTron. Watch a clip below. We’d give his performance a solid B here (nice to see him smiling).

For celebrities attending a game, here’s a reminder of what you’re aspiring to:

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are in full swing, and yesterday’s Game 3 between the La Kings and St. Louis Blues brought out the stars, including Taylor Kitsch, Eric Stonestreet, and Matthew Perry. Only one of them, however, got caught on the Kiss Cam. See who Perry smooches in the video below. We don’t want to spoil it for you.

P.S. This was great, but 2011′s Rachel McAdams Cam is still our favorite.

The Biggest Potential Box Office Bombs of Summer 2013

3 May 2013 12:12 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

It happens every year. We spent months on this site covering a movie that looks good, smells good, and has the potential to be the next big classic, only to see it belly flop when its placed in front of a paying audience. Sometimes the movie is bad, as was the case with Green Lantern. Sometimes, the marketing doesn't work in favor of a small masterpiece, like Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. And sometimes, a movie just gets buried by the bigger movies around it in a crowded marketplace. Then, on that very odd occasion, there's the rare misfortune of having Taylor Kitsch as your leading man.

Last year we watched movies like Rock of Ages, Total Recall, Dark Shadows, Battleship and John Carter whiff it at the plate. 2013 won't be any different. Except that we're entering into May with a completely Kitsch free line-up.

Ffnl: Casting 'Friday Night Lights' Actors As The 'Fantastic Four'

2 May 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Clear eyes. Full hearts. Flame on.

Word on the street today is that "Chronicle" duo Josh Trank and Michael B. Jordan are once again teaming up for a take on superheroes — and this time, it's Marvel's First Family. According to a report from The Wrap, the "Friday Night Lights" vet is in talks to star in Trank's "Fantastic Four" reboot as Johnny Storm, the Human Torch. This douses rumors of Noel Fisher getting the part and comes hot on the heels of Allison Williams being rumored for the part of Invisible Woman.

My fingers are crossed that this one works out, if only because every movie should star someone from "Friday Night Lights." Honestly, every movie should star everyone from "Friday Night Lights," especially "Fantastic Four."

Observe …

Kyle Chandler as Reed Richards

He's surly when provoked but a good-hearted, natural-born leader when the cards are down. Sounds a bit like a certain razor-focused, »
