Amazon's Black Friday 2011 Blu-ray and DVD Deals [*Updated*]
23 November 2011 7:05 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I've never done this before, but since I stumbled across the deals I felt I would pass them on to you as Amazon has begun listing their 2011 Black Friday deals on their DVD and Blu-rays running from November 21-28. By the looks of it there appears you'll have a lot to choose from and they will be updating and adding to the list as the week goes on. As of right now, the best deal is Pulp Fiction on Blu-ray for $3.99, but few prices have been revealed and Amazon has already promised in the coming days deals for the The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (Blu-ray), Jurassic Park Trilogy (Blu-ray), Bridesmaids, The King's Speech and X-Men: First Class will be announced. And on Thursday, November 24, titles such as The Social Network, The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and more will be announced, »

Tron: Legacy Sequel Moves Forward With New Writer
14 June 2011 6:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
Walt Disney Pictures’ Tron: Legacy grossed more than $400 million across the globe this past winter and even though it wasn’t seen as a smashing blockbuster hit, there is sufficient interest in the digitized world that a sequel is in the works. Even though the price tag involved in making Legacy was pretty high, the R&D undertaken for Legacy will make the sequel less development-intensive.
Originally, it was thought that Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, both writers on Legacy (and Lost), were to return to work on this sequel, but the duo are currently occupied with Once Upon A Time, a fairy tale television series they created, airing on ABC this fall.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Disney has tasked David Digilio (Traveler, Eight Below) to write the next installment in the Tron franchise. Digilio is also involved with Showtime with a project called Last H.O.P.E. »

'Tron 3' Finds a New Writer

Garrett Hedlund in "The Next Day"
Photo: Walt Disney Pictures The same way I'm interested to see where Columbia Pictures may talk Angelina Jolie's Salt franchise in a sequel, I am also curious to see what Disney may come up with when it comes to a sequel to the lackluster Tron: Legacy, and now both franchise have one more thing in common: the hiring of a poor screenwriter for the potential sequel.
Just as we learned yesterday that Kurt Wimmer (Ultraviolet) will return to script Salt 2, The Hollywood Reporter brings word today that David Digilio has been tapped to write the screenplay for Tron 3. Digilio's lone feature screenplay is Disney's dreadful Eight Below, the 2006 dog-sledding scientist feature starring Paul Walker directed by Frank Marshall (Congo), and now, in his return to feature films, he's taking over for Legacy screenwriters Adam Horowitz and Adam Kitsis, who apparently are too busy »

New Writer Hired to Pen Sequel to Tron: Legacy
7 June 2011 5:31 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
While rumors of a sequel to last year’s Tron: Legacy have permeated ever since that film’s release, it looks like Disney may finally be moving forward with a follow-up. Though Tron: Legacy did over $400 million, it was a very expensive flick (with a very expensive marketing campaign) and that amount wasn’t exactly the home run the Mouse House was looking for, so they’ve taken their time in deciding whether to move forward or not. Well now, Heat Vision reports that David Digilio (Eight Below) has been tapped to start writing a sequel to Legacy. That film’s writers, Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, were expected to return if a follow-up came to fruition, but apparently they've been sidetracked by their ABC fairy tale series debuting on ABC this fall, Once Upon a Time. Tron: Legacy set up a possible villain for a sequel with its cameo »

Tron: Legacy Sequel Moving Forward at Disney With New Screenwriter
7 June 2011 | The Daily BLAM! | See recent The Daily BLAM! news »
Walt Disney Pictures has tapped scribe David Digilio to pen the third installment of their popular Tron film franchise. Tron: Legacy, a direct sequel to Disney's 1982 sleeper hit Tron, stars Garrett Hedlund, Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde and Michael Sheen. It was released theatrically in 3D and IMAX 3D on December 17th, 2010 to mixed reviews but financial success. The film followed Sam Flynn (Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Bridges), a man once known as the world's leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn's Arcade -- a signal that could only come from his father-- he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years.

Mosaïques, London
This festival of world culture offers a different perspective to British equivalents, leaning as it does towards France's ties with Africa, the Middle East and south-east Asia. A case in point is French-Tunisian guest of honour Abdellatif "Couscous" Kechiche, whose Black Venus finds rich material in the life of 19th century "Hottentot Venus" Saartjie Baartman. There's also Berlin film festival winner A Separation, and from south China, The Rice Paddy, set among the tribal Dong people. Among documentaries are Ethiopian sounds in Abyssinie Swing and Mexican circus thrills in Circo.

Jeff Bridges, sick of critical acclaim, to star in a movie about ghost cops
26 May 2011 4:45 AM, PDT | Nerve | See recent Nerve news »
Do you ever feel like things are going so well in your life that you just want to eat Big Macs until it hurts, sleep all day, and miss work? Well, friends, that's called self-sabotage. And Jeff Bridges is apparently down with it. Coming off True Grit and Crazy Heart (and, okay, Tron), Bridges' next project has been announced, a movie called R.I.P.D. What, you ask, is this? Good question. According to The Huffington Post, it's a movie adaptation of a graphic novel by Peter Lenkov: "R.I.P.D." features the story of a police officer, who, slain in the prime of his career, is recruited to join the Rest In Police Department, the ghost world police force. He signs up for 100 years duty in exchange for the chance to find his killer. Bridges would play his ghost police partner, an [...] »
'Pirates Of The Caribbean' Stunts, Effects And Other Secrets Revealed!

From Johnny Depp's escape from a burning lighthouse to the creation of mermaids for the movie, visual-effects master Charlie Gibson gives us the lowdown.
By Eric Ditzian

It's one thing to watch an eye-popping scene in a CG-laden blockbuster and go, "How the heck did they do that?" It's quite another to have the filmmakers behind those scenes pull back the cinematic curtain and explain what it took to put the footage up onscreen.
That's exactly what we've been doing for some of the biggest movies in Hollywood, from a cinematographer breaking down that epic hallway fight scene in "Inception," to a visual-effects supervisor detailing the digital creation of a young Jeff Bridges in "Tron," to a director walking us through how to build a scream-inducing sequence in "Paranormal Activity 2."
Now we turn our attention to "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" and »
Outland Review
14 May 2011 8:43 AM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
Recently released for the Xboxla and forthcoming for the Psn, Outland is a beautifully surreal 2D platformer that manages to both subvert and fulfil expectations. At its core, Outland is a side-scroller that harks back to the old days of gaming where the simple pleasures of running, jumping and sliding across the screen was all the entertainment a gamer needed. In today’s crowded, story-driven triple A market of games, Outland is decidedly refreshing. On the surface, it’s immediately comparable to the old Prince of Persia games, but it's closer to Super Metroid and Castlevania than either of these; there are numerous occasions throughout the gameplay when you’ll be required to go back to a level you’ve already visited, opening up doors that were previously unavailable to you. Unlike Metroid and Castlevania, though, navigating your way back to these points is straightforward thanks to a nifty teleportation ability, »

Net Crawl: Woah! Awesome Fan Made Tron Legacy Sequel Trailer!
4 May 2011 8:35 PM, PDT | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
As Disney figures out the details of what they’ll be doing in the upcoming Untitled Tron Legacy Sequel, fans are getting anxious and some have created an unbelievably impressive trailer for the third movie called Tron: Destiny. The trailer involves grad students at a college experimenting with codes, quantum computing and of course hacking. The hacking leads to one of them building the derezzer, but instead of sending people into the grid, it is sending them out of it, including a lightcyle for joyriding but also someone you’d never expect. I am not going to lie, this is one of the best fan made films I have seen.
Let’s not forget that Tron Legacy was born out of a combination of a pitch trailer and early Comic Con buzz based on the short. Who is to say the sequel may not end up the same way? »

Jeff Bridges To Fight Crime, Undead Style
30 April 2011 3:39 AM, PDT | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
I've never met anyone who didn't love Jeff Bridges. And why wouldn't they? He's The Dude! And Rooster Cogburn! And he created Tron! And was in K-Pax! Okay, forget the last one, everybody has to pay the bills. He's been on a very welcome roll lately since his Oscar success, and that doesn't look like subsiding. Deadline are now reporting that he's being lined up to replace Zack Galifinakis (who has about four thousand potential films lined up) in R.I.P.D. - which stands for Rest In Peace Department. Amazing. Ryan Reynolds is leading the cast of this film which centres on a recently dead officer who, in return for 100 years of serving with R.I.P.D, can track down who killed him. He's accompanied by another officer who has been dead for hundreds of years, and presumably this is the Galifinakis role that I'd say will be rewritten a »

Jeff Bridges Eyes 'R.I.P.D.' And Guy Pearce Seeks 'Prometheus' In Today's Casting Call
29 April 2011 9:56 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Talk about having some major range: Oscar-winner Jeff Bridges will go from "Crazy Heart" to "Tron" to "True Grit" to, possibly, the zombie comedy "R.I.P.D."
According to Deadline, Bridges is in talks to star opposite Ryan Reynolds in the movie about a squad of undead police officers. The comedy, which is based off of a comic, has Robert Schwentke at the helm. If Bridges were to step in, he would be taking over for Zach Galifianakis, who dropped out from the project due to scheduling issues. Honestly though, who wouldn't abide by the law if The Dude was on the undead force?!
Check out the rest of today's biggest casting news from Hollywood and find out who might be appearing in "Prometheus" and which Academy Award-winner will be team up once again with Sasha Baron Cohen!

Jeff Bridges could join Ryan Reynolds in R.I.P.D.
28 April 2011 11:58 PM, PDT | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
Jeff Bridges could be about to replace Zach Galifianakis in the movie adaptation of comic book R.I.P.D. The Tron star is currently in negotiations to join the film after Galifianakis was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts. If Bridges signs the dotted line, he’d join Ryan Reynolds in the supernatural comedy, which follows undead police officers who are tasked with keeping the underworld in check. With Red’s Robert Schwentke attached to direct, it seems the long-gestating project is really just waiting for Reynolds to...

Jeff Bridges Could Replace Zach Galifianakis In R.I.P.D.
28 April 2011 3:48 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Zach Galifianakis and Jeff Bridges: both popular white male actors who rock facial hair better than just about anybody else, but that's pretty much the end of their similarities. And yet, now that Galifianakis has dropped out of the supernatural cop comedy R.I.P.D., he may be replaced by Bridges. Because, hey, any movie is better with Bridges in it, right? According to Deadline Universal is negotiating with Bridges to take the role in the film, which will be directed by Red's Robert Schwentke. It's unclear exactly when production might start given that Warner Bros. might wrestle Reynolds back to the lot for a Green Lantern 2 at any moment, but Bridges is probably in no hurry-- he's starring in the fantasy young adult film The Seventh Son and may or may not have something to do with a Tron 3 that may or may not get made, but other »

Now that Tron:Legacy has been viewed by the masses, how was the reception of Jeff Bridges’ rejuvenation?
Eric Barba: The overall reception to Clu was good. We had all types of reactions of course, but most enjoyed the character.
What are you working on right now, and what are its challenges? What experiences from Tron Legacy are valuable to you now?
Eric Barba: I’m working on a few projects with Joe Kosinski actually. I’ve learned so much over my time on “Legacy” that all carries forward. I’m not trying tobe vague, but there really is so much I learned from the experience. »

Tron: Legacy Q&A with Steve Preeg

With the recent release of Tron: Legacy on blu-ray & DVD Disney held a virtual roundtable with Head of Animation Steve Preeg , check out the Q&A below and if you haven’t done so already go pick up your copy of Tron: Legacy now.
What was the hardest part of the animation in Tron: Legacy?
Steve Preeg: For sure the hardest part was Clu, bringing a human being to the screen has long been considered impossible in CGI, as humans are very used to looking at other humans faces. Avoiding what is known as the uncanny valley is what we all face in this industry in regards to this type of work.
What was it like working with a first-time director like Joe Kosinski contrasted with working with a veteran like David Fincher?
Steve Preeg: They are both great filmmakers. With David you expect him to »
