Brad Bird Talks 'The Incredibles' Sequel and Why He Turned Down 'Star Wars'
16 May 2013 11:27 AM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Ask Pixar fans which movie they'd like to see a sequel to and most of them will tell you The Incredibles. With Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc. releasing sequels over the next few years, The Incredibles remains one of the few movies in Pixar's library that hasn't gotten a second installment. Wall-e, Up, Ratatouille, Brave and A Bug's Life remain the other Pixar features that haven't had a prequel/sequel… yet. The Incredibles director Brad Bird recently spoke with THR about the prospects of a sequel. "I have been thinking about it. People thing that I have not been, but I have. Because I love those character and love that world. I am stroking my chin and scratching my head. I have many, many elements that I think would work really well in another...

Will platoon of Gallipoli films give Turkish audiences battle fatigue?
9 May 2013 4:20 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Hollywood often produces two films on one subject, but the six movies based on the Battle of Çanakkale are a sign of a healthy domestic market for Turkish products
Maybe one sign of a fully matured film industry is when it's capable of spewing out an Olympus Has Fallen and a White House Down at the same time – coinciding films with identical subjects. One of those little zeitgeist clots that suggest creative minds running in parallel, in a highly evolved community driven by the relentless background hum of close competition – and also, all those scripts passing between studios, with ample opportunities for intellectual-property theft. Mostly, these weird convergences seem to come in pairs: Deep Impact and Armageddon, A Bug's Life and Antz, and so on.
So what does it say about the emerging Turkish industry that it has six movies on the same subject either recently on release or imminent? »

18 April 2013 9:01 AM, PDT | kidspickflicks | See recent kidspickflicks news »
Monsters University is the origin story of how Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) and James P. Sullivan (John Goodman) met and became best friends and the best scaring team at Monsters, Inc.

· Tyler Labine (Rise of the Planet of the Apes, "Animal Practice") was tapped to voice Brock Pearson, vice president of the Greek Council and enthusiastic emcee of the Scare Games.
· John Krasinski (Big Miracle, "The Office") provides the voice of "Frightening" Frank McCay, a Scaring super star at Monsters, Inc.
· Charlie Day (Pacific Rim, TV's "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") provides the voice of the incomparable Art, an Oozma Kappa »

Eli Roth's Lost 'Phantom Menace' Takedown
28 March 2013 12:29 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Turns out Eli Roth, the director of "Hostel," was not a fan of "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace." At least he wasn't back in 1999, when he wrote this scathing takedown -- which, since it was published before the movie even opened, stands as one of the first reviews of the prequel ever written.
Writing for LeisureSuit.net, a website that no longer exists (though an archived version of the review can be found here), Roth declared, "So here's the kicker: It Sucks." Yes, we all kind of know that now (though some people took longer than others to figure that out) but it's still remarkable to read such early vitriol.
The review was brought to my attention by Jordan Hoffman, who currently writes for Film.com and the New York Daily News. Back in 1999, Hoffman was an editor at LeisureSuit.net (along with screenwriter Kerry Douglas Dye »

· Brad Garrett (The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, and he's contributed his voice in lots of movies like the Night at the Museum movies where he's the Easter Island head and Bloat in Finding Nemo) lends his voice to fuel truck Chug, Dusty's buddy, coach and biggest fan. »

Blu-ray Review: 'Monsters, Inc.' (rerelease)
26 February 2013 7:21 AM, PST | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★★★☆ What's made Pixar such a successful animation studio over the last 18 years is the level of collaboration which goes into every film. The Toy Story cycle brought digitextual animation to mainstream cinemas as scientists, architects and designers worked together to invent new ways of implementing their product for the screen. A Bug's Life (1998) made staggering advances in crowd sequence animation, while Toy Story 2 (1999) rolled on from the glistening accomplishment of the first instalment. Monsters, Inc. (2001), meanwhile, took its inspiration from the same childhood fantasies we all share - of the evil creature lurking under the bed.

Sky Movies Disney channel to launch on Sky in March
20 February 2013 4:01 PM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Sky is to launch a brand new, dedicated satellite television channel that will become the pay-tv home of Disney Studios movies in the UK and Ireland.
Sky Movies Disney will go live on the Sky platform in late March. It is part of a wide-ranging partnership deal between Sky and Disney, that follows similar collaboration agreements between the part-Rupert Murdoch media giant and Warner Brothers, Universal Pictures and Sony.
Sky Movies Disney marks the first time that The Walt Disney Channel has been involved in a co-branded linear movies channel anywhere in the world.
The channel's launch is also the latest initiative in Sky's strategy of dedicating entire channels to a certain genre or brand, following the debut of Formula One network Sky Sports F1, and Bond films channel Sky Movies 007 last year.
New Disney movies will be available on Sky Movies Disney around six months after they have ended their cinema run, »
Finding Nemo 2 to Bring Back Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres
12 February 2013 5:04 PM, PST | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Back in July, Pixar announced that Andrew Stanton (John Carter, Finding Nemo, A Bug's Life) signed on to direct a sequel to "Finding Nemo." A month later, we learned that Ellen DeGeneres entered negotiations to reprise her role as Dory, a blue tang fish who suffers from short-term memory loss. Now comes word that Albert Brooks (This Is 40, Drive) is also expected to return to voice Marlin, who is Nemo's father. Deadline says that Brooks received a hefty paycheck to return, which means that his character will be a major part of the sequel. DeGeneres has also been officially confirmed to be part of the cast. "Finding Nemo 2" is written by Victoria Strouse, who wrote the 2008 Black list script "The Apostles of Infinite Love." The plan is to release the film sometime in 2016. »
Zack Snyder Denies He's Doing Anything 'Star Wars'
14 January 2013 3:05 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Update: Zach Snyder's reps have officially denied the "Man of Steel" director's involvement with anything "Star Wars"-related, according to an exclusive statement made to The Hollywood Reporter.
"While he is super flattered because he is a huge fan, Zack is not involved in any way with the new 'Star Wars,'" the rep confirmed. "He is currently in post on his two films, 'Man of Steel' and '300: Battle of Artemisia.'"
This might be a false denial, mind you. But either way, this is all getting a little tiresome. Is it too much to ask for something tangible regarding Disney's plans for "Star Wars"?
Scruffy-lookin' nerf herders, all of 'em!

Zack Snyder Developing Star Wars Spin-Off Film Based on Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai [Updated]
14 January 2013 11:37 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Back in November, we reported that Zack Snyder wouldn't be directing Star Wars: Episode VII. This remains true, but Vulture is now reporting the surprising news that Snyder will be involved in the upcoming Star Wars universe with a spin-off feature. As we previously reported, screenwriters Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg were working on scripts that could be part of the upcoming sequel trilogy or they could be spin-off features. Episode VII is due out in 2015, and Disney CEO Bob Iger has said he wants a new Star Wars movie ever 2-3 years. Hit the jump for more on Zack Snyder's upcoming Star Wars film. [Update: Snyder's reps have released a statement denying this story. Read the statement after the jump] According to Vulture, Snyder is developing a Star Wars film that will take place after Episode VI and run parallel to the upcoming trilogy, so it doesn't seem like it will be a "bridge" movie, although it could provide material for other Star Wars chapters. »
