First Film Clip From ‘Monsters University’

2 hours ago

Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar have released the first film clip from “Monsters University,” opening in theaters June 21st, 2013.

The film has the voice talents of Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Helen Mirren, Alfred Molina, Dave Foley, Sean P. Hayes, Joel Murray, Peter Sohn, Charlie Day, Nathan Fillion, Bobby Moynihan, Julia Sweeney, Aubrey Plaza, Tyler Labine, John Krasinski, Bonnie Hunt, Beth Behrs and John Ratzenberger.

Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarer—and he knows better than anyone that the best Scarers come from Monsters University (Mu). But during his first semester at Mu, Mike’s plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, “Sulley” (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pair’s out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the University’s elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, »

Fox And Marvel Are Unlikely To Be Planning A Cross-over With #Quicksilver

9 hours ago

On Thursday X-Men Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer announced via Twitter that Quicksilver would appear in the new X-Men film, only a week after Joss Whedon confirmed Quicksilver for Avengers 2.

Upon making the announcement, Singer appeared to take a jab at Marvel’s inclusion of the character, referencing The Avengers, before deleting that tweet and posting a shorter one. Take a look:

@bryansinger Why’d you delete your other tweet? I thought it was funny! twitter.com/kcresto/status…

— Katherine Cresto (@kcresto) May 24, 2013

One movie fan shared his thoughts on the sudden announcement that Quicksilver would appear in the new X-Men film.

#Marvel #Disney should of kept #Quicksilver & #ScarletWitch a secret. Now #Fox #BryanSinger are forcing their hand first. Not going to work.

While it’s possible that Singer had intended to include Quicksilver all along and just now revealed it, it seems unnecessary »

Gael Garcia Bernal Will Star In Jon Stewart’s ‘Rosewater’

9 hours ago

The Wrap has the exclusive on a big piece of casting news.

Jon Stewart has selected Gael Garcia Bernal (The Science of Sleep, No) to play the lead in his directorial debut Rosewater.

Stewart will take a 12-week hiatus from hosting The Daily Show in order to work on the film. Correspondent John Oliver will take over hosting duties for 8 weeks in his absence.

Synopsis for “Then They Came For Me: A Family’s Story of Love, Captivity and Survival.”

When Maziar Bahari left London in June 2009 to cover Iran’s presidential election, he assured his pregnant fiancée, Paola, that he’d be back in just a few days, a week at most. Little did he know, as he kissed her good-bye, that he would spend »

Henry Cavill Is Game For An Onscreen Batman/Superman Tandem

18 hours ago

Talking to SFX recently, Man of Steel star Henry Cavill told the website that he would be game for a Batman/Superman onscreen tandem.

Cavill said: “I think it would be really interesting with the age-old Batman/Superman conflict because they are two different sides of the same coin and their methods are entirely different. And I think it would actually make for an interesting story as to why, first of all, they were going head to head and how. I think that would make a great story.”

Cavill didn’t acknowledge directly whether the idea was already being developed but added that there are likely all kinds of ideas being thrown around at WB.

Quicksilver will appear in ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’, Reveals Bryan Singer

18 hours ago

X-Men Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer has just revealed that the character Quicksilver will appear in Fox’s X-Men film, a week after Joss Whedon confirmed Quicksilver for Marvel’s Avengers 2.

Here’s the Tweet:

Before he was an #Avenger, he was just a Really fast kid. Thrilled to say #EvanPeters is joining #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast as #Quicksilver.

Bryan Singer (@BryanSinger) May 23, 2013

 

Marvel has yet to announce casting for their Quicksilver, leaving many to wonder whether Fox and Marvel will “share” the casting of Peters (American Horror Story) or whether we will see two separate versions of the character.

On a separate note, this cast is reaching maximum capacity.

Cast: Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Peter Dinklage, Ellen Page, James McAvoy, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Omar Sy, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart, Fan Bingbing and others…

I feel like Fox is trying to top Avengers by adding as many mutants as possible. »

Ray Stevenson Talks ‘Thor: The Dark World’

19 hours ago

 The Wall Street Journal talked to actor Ray Stevenson (who plays Volstagg) about Thor: The Dark World.

WSJ asked Stevenson whether Asgard had lost some of its luster in the sequel. Stevenson said:

In the first ‘Thor’ Asgard had this tremendous peace among the 9 realms. They were riding at the heights. Everything is working and looking as it should be. In this one, the realms are being whipped up into various rebellions. There is a darker malignant force out there and we are in the process of engaging in long protracted skirmishes and battles. The luster and shine of the city has been taken off and it all leads to a huge assault, an attack at the heart of Asgard. It could be completely wiped out, the stakes are a lot higher.

Stevenson was also asked whether there was a lack of chemistry because the cast didn’t spend as »

New ‘Rush’ Trailer

21 hours ago

Universal Pictures has released a new trailer for their new movie, “Rush” starring Chris Hemsworth as iconic Formula One racing driver James Hunt.

The film also co-stars Daniel Brühl, Olivia Wilde, Alexandra Maria Lara, Stephen Mangan, and Christian McKay.

Two-time Academy Award® winner Ron Howard (“A Beautiful Mind,” “Frost/Nixon”), teams once again with fellow two-time Academy Award® nominee, writer Peter Morgan (“Frost/Nixon,” “The Queen”), on “Rush,” a spectacular big-screen re-creation of the merciless 1970s rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda.

The epic action-drama stars Chris Hemsworth (“The Avengers”) as the charismatic Englishman James Hunt and Daniel Brühl (“Inglourious Basterds”) as the disciplined Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda, whose clashes on the Grand Prix racetrack epitomized the contrast between these two extraordinary characters, a distinction reflected in their private lives.

Set against the sexy and glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing, Rush portrays the exhilarating true story of two »

Film Review: Fast & Furious 6

23 May 2013 6:09 AM, PDT

Against all better judgment, the Fast and Furious series has become the de facto action film franchise of a generation. It’s come this far because of the willingness of the actors and directors to let it remain malleable, often tinkering with the fundamental notions of what each film should be much in the same way Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner and Vin Diesel’s Dom Torreto are constantly tinkering with their endless array of cars. After the ridiculously fun jolt of energy that was 2011’s heist extravaganza Fast Five, the gang is back again for another go-round with Fast and Furious 6 (or as the title card rightfully calls it, Furious 6).

After their big score in Rio from Fast Five, each member has gone their separate ways with the loot. Some, like Tyrese’s Roman, have flaunted their cash while others like O’Conner have tried to change their »

Film Review: Before Midnight

23 May 2013 6:05 AM, PDT

The “Before” series of films by Richard Linklater are unique in their honest portrayal of the ever-evolving complexities of love. Their explorations are done in such an elegantly perceptive manner that they approach transcendence. Each character’s handling of mundane actions are a cover for the deeply emotional and philosophically sound reflections at play without ever being didactic or — even worse — boring. They began in 95’s Before Sunrise with the chance meeting on a train that brought the characters Celine and Jesse together, followed by 04’s Before Sunset that brought the two back together for another real-time rumination on life, and now they’ve possibly concluded with Before Midnight.

Following their meeting in Paris in the second film we come to find that since then Jesse and Celine have gotten married and had twin girls, though the main dramatic angle letting the audience into this installment deals with Jesse’s »

‘Timecop’ Reboot In The Works

23 May 2013 2:21 AM, PDT

Universal is planning a remake of Timecop, the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme time travel action movie. The franchise reboot is being produced by Marc Shmuger and Tom McNulty.

Dark Horse’s official description of the series reads:

“You can change the past, the future, your future. Then imagine Max Walker, one of the Time Enforcement Commission’s toughest and most extreme cops. But as nasty as Walker’s methods are, even he may not be able to stop a nefarious plot to destroy the future as we know it.”

Timecop was adapted from the Dark Horse comics and first released in 1994 with Jean-Claude Van Damme in the lead. The film went on to have a TV spinoff in 1997, though it was short-lived, and a direct-to-video sequel Timecop 2: The Berlin Decision in 2003.

Got any ideas for who should be the lead this time around?

Toby Jones Talks ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’

22 May 2013 3:52 PM, PDT

In Captain America: The First Avenger Toby Jones played Arnim Zola, “right hand” man to Hugo Weaving’s Red Skull. Jones is reprising the character for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but how does he return so many years later?

Here’s Jones on Zola in Cap 2:

“All I can say about it is that I was pleased to be brought back. I thought I might be–because you’d know better than I do–but Zola finds a way to defeat time and you won’t be disappointed with the way that’s been treated in the film, that’s what I would say.”

Any ideas? I have to admit I’m not too familiar with the comic books, so here’s the lowdown on Zola courtesy of Marvel:

The frail, dwarfish Arnim Zola was born in 1930’s Switzerland where he became the world’s leading biochemist. In his ancestral castle, »

Where will the gang go for ‘Fast and Furious 7′?

22 May 2013 3:43 PM, PDT

When I first watched The Fast and The Furious I thought it was a decent action flick, but if you told me twelve years later I would be eagerly anticipating the sixth installment I’d have said you were nuts.

But forget about Fast and Furious 6, that’s old news, we’re here to talk about part seven, which hits theatres July 11, 2014.

The original flick took place in La, with subsequent installments taking the action to Miami, Tokyo, Mexico, Rio De Janeiro and now Europe, but what of the seventh flick?

The franchise’s star, Vin Diesel, has the answer:

“I told the Universal people there was no way we were not having a Los Angeles premiere. One other thing: For ‘Fast and Furious 7,’ we are bringing it back to Los Angeles!”

So there you have it. The final film in the Fast and Furious franchise will return the action to La. »

Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old fashioned guy.
