Joe Johnston Planning to Shoot Captain America Next June
28 December 2009 12:50 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
We haven't heard much from Marvel recently about The First Avenger: Captain America, which is still slated for release in July of 2011. What we do know, though, is that Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer, Jurassic Park III, The Wolfman) is directing and the screenplay is being written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (of all three Chronicles of Narnia movies). Fangoria (via ComingSoon) just published a teaser piece for their upcoming issue that has an interview with Joe Johnston talking about Wolfman. However, near the end of the article they drop a little tidbit about Johnston's plans to start shooting Captain America in June. Here's the key quote: "... recalls Johnston, speaking from the art department of The First Avenger: Captain America, which he's readying for a June start." Marvel is preparing to start shooting Kenneth Branagh's Thor in January (as reported here), which I'm sure will shoot at least until »

Terror Tidbits (Fango #290): The Wolfman: Hair Today, Gore Tomorrow
22 December 2009 10:00 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
The beast is back, and he’s staring Fangoria right in the eye. It’s May 2008, and the end of a long day at England’s Pinewood Studios, where your correspondent has been given a tantalizing behind-the-scenes tour of Universal’s latest attempt to mine its classic horror back catalog, following the successful revamp of The Mummy. After visiting various sets and interviewing some of the cast and crew of The Wolfman, we have decamped to a windowless room to chat with makeup legend Rick Baker about the task of turning star Benicio Del Toro into the eponymous monster.
Midway through our chat, the lights go out, plunging the room into total darkness. “Stay calm,” instructs the film’s unit publicist, “it’s just a problem with the fuse.” But something is afoot. Suddenly, there’s movement at a door, and a large shape enters the room. As our eyes become accustomed to the gloom, »

Hollywood FX Artist to Direct Mexico's Biggest Film Ever
12 December 2009 10:02 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Everyone in Hollywood just wants to direct, but when it comes to visual effects artists becoming full-fledged filmmakers, the results aren't always great. Among those who've made the transition, for better or worse, are Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III), Eric Brevig (Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D), Colin and Greg Strause (Aliens vs. Predator - Requiem) and Neil Blomkamp (District 9).
Joining them now is Dean Wright, Oscar-nominated for effects work on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and a veteran artist who had a hand in Titanic, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Kangaroo Jack and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Wright, who got some of his directing experience handling the second unit filming for The Return of the King, is already at work on a Jesus biopic called Kingdom Come, slated for release in 2010. And now, according to Variety, he's already set up his follow-up, »

New Wolfman Featurette
10 December 2009 2:46 PM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Universal Pictures has released a featurette for the upcoming horror blockbuster “The Wolfman.” There’s lots of new scenes from the film and actors talk about the wolfman myth.
Plot summary: Based on the 1941 classic of the same name, “The Wolfman” tells of Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro), an actor who returns to the home of his estranged father (Anthony Hopkins) after the death of his brother. Familiar awkwardness becomes the least of his problems when he is attacked and bitten by a wolf and quickly takes on hairy, toothy qualities whenever the moon rises.
Directed by Joe Johnston (Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Jurassic Park III, Hidalgo), the horror film also stars Emily Blunt, Hugo Weaving and Art Malik.
“The Wolfman” hits theaters on February 12th 2010.

Wolfman gets rating
8 December 2009 2:26 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
The update of the classic monster movie The Wolf Man hasn't had an easy transformation from start to hairy howling finish. First, director Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) abruptly left shortly before filming, and was replaced by FX guy Joe Johnston (Jumanji, Jurassic Park III). The Universal remake shot in early-mid 2008, with rumors of behind-the-scenes difficulties and reported reshoots. The release date lurched all the way through 2009 until it's current slot on Feb. 12, 2010. »

Top Editors Brought In to Re-Cut The Wolfman
18 November 2009 9:47 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Of all the big films on the docket for next year, the one I’m most concerned about is The Wolfman. The second trailer for the film looked pretty badass, I’ll admit – but this movie has suffered a plagued production from the get-go. A change in directors, callbacks for reshoots and re-designs in the creature effects… It all points to a studio trying to turn lead into gold through the usual movie alchemy.
Well, the guys over at Slash Film must have magnifying glass eyes, because they spotted something deep-six buried in an article over at Variety, which names editors Mark Goldblatt and Walter Murch as the two guys hired to do a recut of The Wolfman!
This revelation comes without the usual fanfare from the blogosphere that goes with every little development on a major movie – suggesting that the studio is trying to keep the continuing problems with »

How has the Jurassic Park franchise survived extinction?

No one wants to see more rampaging dinosaurs in Joe Johnston's Jurassic sequel ... unless those dinosaurs have guns
Jurassic Park IV is the climate change of the movie world. It's been talked about for years but nobody has really paid any attention to it, partly because it won't happen for a long time and partly because the reality of it is too horrific to even contemplate. But, like climate change, it seems as if Jurassic Park IV is finally becoming a reality. Joe Johnston, the director of Jurassic Park III, has been using interviews for The Wolfman to suggest that a new instalment is closer than ever, and that it's going to set up the franchise for a brand-new trilogy.
Rats. At least climate change would allow us to enjoy the benefits of a nice suntan and no East Anglia. Jurassic Park IV doesn't sound nearly as attractive. It is, »

'Jurassic Park 4' - Yes or No?
10 November 2009 12:27 AM, PST | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
Man, that's a good question. We've been hearing a lot about "Jurassic Park 4" during the past years, and yet, the film never really came together. Will it anytime soon? Nobody really knows.
Late last year, producers Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy said they were not too optimistic a fourth film would happen. Yet, they didn't say the project was completely buried.
Joe Johnston, director of "Jurassic Park III," recently talked to Ain't It Cool News about the film, and he said he is pretty much ready to bring the dinosaurs back to life. »

Joe Johnston keen on Jurassic Park 4 as start of new trilogy
9 November 2009 5:02 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Director Joe Johnston has expressed an interest in returning to the Jurassic Park franchise to create a new trilogy of dinosaur adventures.
Earlier this year, producer Frank Marshall said a fourth movie was a long shot, following reservations about another film after the death of Michael Crichton in 2008.
But Johnston - whose Jurassic Park 3 is widely regarded as the weakest in the series - said he would be prepared to revive the prehistoric predators once more.
He told Ain't It Cool News: "There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it's nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved."
One early script for Jurassic Park 4 included genetically-modified raptors trained as mercenaries, while another report suggested the fourth film »

Joe Johnston Talks Jurassic Park 4 Story
8 November 2009 9:32 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Harry Knowles at Ain’t It Cool News put up an interview from a while back on the set of The Wolfman with director Joe Johnston. In the interview they discussed a bunch of his previous works and a bit about Jurassic Park 4 for which he is attached to helm.
This was before it was announced that Johnston would be directing The First Avenger: Captain America so unfortunately, that topic does not come up.
In the interview, the topic of special effects (the right mix of practical and digital) came up and Johnston gave the example of the first Jurassic Park and how it still holds up today as something special in that regard. Shortly thereafter, Harry brought the conversation back to Jurassic Park to ask some questions about the widely speculated fourth installment of the franchise. Joe Johnston of course, directed Jurassic Park 3.

Joe Johnston Talks Jurassic Park 4

If only I could start this article with the Jurassic Park theme song. (If you.d actually like to, click here to take a listen.) In an interview with AICN, The Wolfman director Joe Johnston, also the director of Jurassic Park 3, talks about the potential fourth film. After chatting about how well the effects from the first film hold up, AICN asks Johnston if JP4 is next on his to-do list. He says .Well, there is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with, and it.s nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.. The most logical way to take the franchise in a new direction?

Second ‘Wolfman’ Trailer Equally Great
21 October 2009 2:15 PM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Universal has released the second trailer for Joe Johnston’s The Wolfman, a gothic horror movie about werewolf origins in the Victorian era starring Benicio Del Toro as the howling beast-man. While the first established characters and a bit of plot, this second smokey trailer shows more of the visuals and effects that went into the February 2010 release.
Also starring Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, and Hugo Weaving, the film looks great from everything we’ve seen thus far. Rick Baker’s make-up looks spot on as usual, the transformation sequences are awesome (unlike the flying wolf leap of Twilight: New Moon), and just the overall rhythm has me excited about this one.
Watch it below, or in high-definition at Apple.com:
Is it a coincidence that another Wolfman trailer is going head to head with Fox’s Avatar trailer in theaters this weekend? You might recall the same thing happened in August. »

New Trailer for The Wolfman Starring Benecio Del Toro
21 October 2009 10:14 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
This new trailer for “The Wolfman” may play more like a teaser but it’s still highly effective. Combined with the previous (and longer) trailer from August, I’m shocked that I’m actually excited for this film despite its tormented production and its repeated kicks around the calendar. The trailer released today highlights the visuals more than the story but it looks like director Joe Johnston has created an imaginative and impressive gothic world for the Wolfman to roam.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer along with a brief synopsis. “The Wolfman” hits theaters on February 12th, 2010.

Jurassic Park vs. Jurassic Park 3: Lament for a Fallen Franchise
7 September 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
It's Labor Day, folks, so instead of the normal pace of film news, we're taking it a little bit easier than usual. The following is an editorial that has to do with the Jurassic Park series of films, so those expecting something relating to what's going on in Hollywood right now should look elsewhere (i.e. skip this article). Otherwise, your thoughts are welcome in the comments! And of course, spoilers abound for the Jurassic Park movies.. On a recent episode of the /Filmcast, my colleague Adam Quigley mentioned in passing that Jurassic Park was his favorite movie of all time. I have fond memories of Spielberg's 1993 film, but I hadn't watched it since it had been on VHS (I still have a copy of that cassette on my shelf). To some degree, I actively avoided revisiting that film; I was scared the effects wouldn't hold up and that my »
