Denzel Washington's The Equalizer Has Found His Enemy
18 May 2013 1:29 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
1989 was the last time people got to watch The Equalizer on their TV screens, and while it.s taken a while for this film version to become a reality, Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington are finally putting it together, and it has some potential to be an interesting flick. But Washington is usually only as powerful as his opposing force. That force has been met, and his name is Marton Csokas (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring), according to The Hollywood Reporter. The New Zealander has been in tons of popular films over the past decade or so, though he.s usually kept to more generic roles. He.s currently filming Marc Webb.s The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and has both Darren Aronofsky.s Noah and Robert Rodriguez.s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For coming to theaters before Spider-Man.

Thn’s Top 5 Seemingly Unfilmable Stories Brought To The Big Screen
29 April 2013 12:55 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
A book filled with inner monologue, a Bengal tiger and a shipwrecked boy somehow managed to be turned into a film; an Academy Award-winning one at that. Ang Lee has himself called Life Of Pi the most difficult film he’s ever made. Life Of Pi was once considered unfilmable due to the importance of the tiger and its human qualities. However, thanks to the required technology being enabled a few years ago, the tiger and story could finally be brought to the big screen. Check out Thn’s list of seemingly unfilmable films which were made into movies.
The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (2001, 2002, 2003)
A key to bringing those supposedly unfilmable movies to life is modern CGI. Where would the Lord Of The Rings trilogy be without it? Children would have played hobbits, Nazgûl-birds made to fly by hanging them on strings, and a doll would have portrayed Gollum, »

Having not gotten round to seeing The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey at the cinema (that was an unexpected journey in itself trying to get to there thanks to the M25!), I jumped at the chance to watch it on DVD. I wasn't disappointed.
The film opens in an impressive fashion with Smaug the »

DVD Review: 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'
8 April 2013 5:03 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ Over ten years since he journeyed deep into J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy world with The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Peter Jackson makes his inevitable return to Middle-earth with the first of a new three-parter: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012). Taking the reins from original helmer Guillermo Del Toro, Jackson takes the source material - itself a prelude to TLotR - and burrows further into the templates he so vividly brought to life three times previously, fleshing out the established geography and characters whilst retrospectively exploring Bilbo Baggins' adventures pre-The Fellowship of the Ring.

Peter Jackson's preview of the sequel to the Rings prequel shows the director taking fresh liberties with Tolkien's work
The first instalment in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, An Unexpected Journey, may not have swept the board at the Oscars or even ended up as one of the year's best-reviewed films, but audiences seemed to warm to the New Zealand film-maker's epic, expanded take on (the first third of) Jrr Tolkien's gentle and breezy 1937 children's fantasy. At some point along the line there are going to be some very confused youngsters dipping into the 250-page book after watching all three movies and wondering what on Middle-earth happened to Radagast, Galadriel, Saruman and all that fighting, but hey … childhood's tough.
On Sunday, selected bloggers and critics were treated to a sneak online preview of footage from the next Hobbit movie: The Desolation of Smaug (pronounced with an "ow", rather than »

Viggo Mortensen 'saw The Hobbit on opening day'
21 March 2013 7:48 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Viggo Mortensen has spoken about his enjoyment of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Asked by Vulture whether he had seen the first film in Peter Jackson's new Middle-earth trilogy, the actor – who played Aragorn in all three Lord of the Rings films – revealed that he went to see it on opening day.
"I went on opening day to see it. I was actually in Argentina, and I went with a bunch of kids and their parents," Mortensen said. "It was kind of a party atmosphere, it was fun... I enjoyed it."
He went on to explain that he had enjoyed the nostalgic experience of seeing some of the locations used in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
"It was nice to see some of the landscapes I remembered. It was a nice trip down memory lane, where we'd shot near some of the places where I'd gone camping or fishing. »
Why Wouldn't You Want to Make an "Unexpected Journey" Back to J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth?
18 March 2013 11:20 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
The works of J.R.R. Tolkien, particularly Peter Jackson’s adaptations of said works, have had a big influence on my life. It was my first time watching The Fellowship of the Ring at the age of fourteen that made me decide that I wanted to devote my life to film. The world created by Tolkien and brought to impeccably detailed life by Jackson and his crew enveloped my mind in the way that only the best stories can, and made me want to create my own worlds on the page as well as the screen. For me, the most beautiful aspect of filmmaking is the escapism that it can inspire; in my darkest moments, escaping to Middle-earth in my mind for three-plus hours at a time has been greatly comforting. The solid themes of good triumphing over evil, and heroes choosing to do what is right over what is easy, »

Bad News For 'Hobbit' Fans
1 March 2013 5:19 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Fans of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" will have to wait a little while longer to see how things turn out -- and not because Jackson added a fourth film to his three-part franchise. New Line and MGM announced on Thursday that "The Hobbit: There and Back Again," the final installment in "The Hobbit" trilogy, will arrive in theaters on Dec. 17, 2014, some five months after its original July 18, 2014 release date.
No reason was given for the move, but perhaps consistency was motivation: Jackson's three "Lord of the Rings" films ("The Fellowship of the Ring," "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King") all opened between Dec. 17-19, while "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" hit theaters on Dec. 13, 2012. The new trilogy's second film, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," is set to debut on Dec. 14 of this year.

9 Movies With Titles That Spoil Their Own Ending
28 February 2013 1:00 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
A fun joke to have told your friends around the time that "Titanic" came out was, "Spoiler alert: The boat hits the iceberg!" I'm sure many, many people used that joke during the mid to late '90s, and all of them reaped the many benefits which followed, from more friends to more respect to a deeper appreciation of themselves as people.
Hell, making that joke even started Barack Obama's political career!
Indeed, not every movie is enjoyed just for its surprise ending. Some movie endings, in fact, are even built right into the title.
Here are nine that ask you to enjoy the journey, not the destination.
"The Shawshank Redemption," (1994)
"The Shawshank Redemption" would have presumably been a much tougher studio sell had the title been "Tim Robbins is Wrongly Convicted of a Crime and Then Dies in Prison After a Few Decades of Friendship with Morgan Freeman, »

Listen To Gollum Sing 'I Dreamed A Dream' From Les Miserables
20 February 2013 1:16 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
There are many, many strange YouTube videos out there to explore, and most of them aren't interesting or ridiculous enough to watch for more than a few seconds. But every now and then one of those Internet weirdos happens upon a truly amazing and terrifyingly strange talent. and to those rare few, attention must be paid. So we honor you, YouTube user ljameswalters, who posted this video himself singing Fantine's "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables in the voice of Gollum. Yes, that Gollum. See it for yourself below. A lot of people have done their own Gollum impressions since The Fellowship of the Ring came out 12 years ago, but none have quite nailed it the way this guy does-- much less used it to sing a very famous song. Though it's hilarious on the surface just to hear Gollum's voice singing a song you're used to hearing from »

Roger Deakins Takes Home Asc Cinematographers Award for 'Skyfall'
10 February 2013 9:19 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Roger Deakins has won twice before with the American Society of Cinematographers (Asc) for The Shawshank Redemption and The Man Who Wasn't There. Going into tonight, his record was two-for-ten and and now he's upped that 20% win percentage to 27% as he won tonight for his work on Skyfall. The award comes over fellow nominees Danny Cohen (Les Miserables), Janusz Kaminski (Lincoln), Seamus McGarvey (Anna Karenina) and Claudio Miranda (Life of Pi). Four of the five of these gentlemen were also nominated at the Oscars with Robert Richardson (Django Unchained) replacing Cohen. Of course, one would suspect Deakins is now the front-runner for Oscar. After all, he won with the Cinematographers Guild and that has to mean something. Well, it does, but... Deakins has been nominated nine times for Oscar's Best Cinematography (including the two times he won the Asc) and he's lost all nine times and, at the moment, he »

Feature Juliette Harrisson Feb 7, 2013
To celebrate Community's long-awaited return, Juliette counts down ten of its geekiest references to other TV shows and films...
There’s a reason Community, while struggling in the ratings out in the big wide world, often seems to be the most popular show on the internet. This is a show that has not only embraced geek culture, it threw geek culture a big party, baked it a cake then cleaned up afterwards and sent geek culture to bed with a cup of hot cocoa. From brief references to geek staples, to one-liners and visual gags, all the way up to complete spoof episodes, no show on television celebrates geek culture in quite the way that Community does. In preparation for the long-delayed return of everyone’s favourite gang of community college students, we celebrate ten of the show’s geekiest gags.

Why Robert De Niro Can Win Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars
5 February 2013 12:59 PM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
By Tariq Khan, Gold Derby 1. It's a wide open race. The last five years, the Supporting Actor derby has been incredibly easy to call. Just consider the wins by Javier Bardem in "No Country for Old Men," Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight," Christoph Waltz in "Inglourious Basterds," Christian Bale in "The Fighter" and Christopher Plummer in "Beginners." Were any of those outcomes ever really in doubt? Each of those men was declared the frontrunner early in the season and then prevailed at both the Globes and SAG Awards. The Oscar presentation was really just a formality. Finally, 2012 has brought us some suspense. There has been no clear critical favorite, with non-nominees Matthew McConaughey taking both the New York and National Society prizes for "Magic Mike" and "Bernie," and Dwight Henry winning in Los Angeles for "Beasts of the Southern Wild." Christoph Waltz was the upset Globe victor for "Django Unchained »

Sean Bean is the latest name to join the cast of Andy and Lana Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending , Deadline reports. He'll star in the sci-fi tale opposite Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis and Eddie Redmayne. The film focuses on higher forms of life who are watching us from other worlds. Kunis will play a Russian immigrant who is busily scrubbing toilets for a living.
