See A Photo From The Set Of 'The Hobbit'
22 May 2013 7:29 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Peter Jackson and his crew are returning to Middle-earth one last time, according to a new post the director wrote on his Facebook page. Jackson unveiled a lighthearted photo of himself and Ian McKellen, dressed as Gandalf, on the set of the "Hobbit" series.
Jackson wrote the following message to accompany the photo:
Back on set for our last Hobbit pick ups. Our last ever Tolkien pick ups, in fact. It's going to be an intense few weeks, but we're looking forward to shooting some powerful scenes with our great cast. Our next blog is coming soon!
Jackson and the gang are presumably filming scenes for the third entry in the "Hobbit" series, "There and Back Again," which bears the subtitle of the relatively short novel upon which the bloated trilogy is based. Both "There and Back Again" and the series' second movie, "The Desolation of Smaug," are currently in post-production. »

Win A Pass To The Advance Screening Of The Great Gatsby In St. Louis
29 April 2013 8:08 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
“I want to write something new, something extraordinary and beautiful and simple and intricately patterned.”
From the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann comes the new big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby. In his adaptation, the filmmaker combines his distinctive visual, sonic, and storytelling styles in 3 Dimensions, weaving a Jazz Age cocktail faithful to Fitzgerald’s text and relevant to now. Leonardo DiCaprio stars in the title role.
In theaters on May 10th, “The Great Gatsby” follows would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. »

The Great Gatsby Images Feature Opulence, Style, And Serious Expressions
27 April 2013 8:06 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
If you listen to the show, you know that I’m nervous about Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming effort, The Great Gatsby. I’m unconvinced that Leo can pull of Gatsby, if I’m being honest, but more importantly, Luhrmann’s bent toward dropping stories into the same formula doesn’t seem in line with the story.
At any rate, it seems like some things are being managed well enough, if we just look at the images. I’ll give them Carey Mulligan though, she could be a good fit.
Will you be in line for this one on opening day?

From 1997 to 2009 there were five $1 billion film grossers. Between 2010 and 2012, we added an additional ten such films.
15 April 2013 2:21 PM, PDT | Hollywoodnews.com | See recent Hollywoodnews.com news »
Just a few years ago, had I written a piece entitled “There are no films guaranteed to gross $1 billion this year”, you likely would have laughed and said “Of course not!”. As recently as 2010, the idea that any movie could or would gross $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales was somewhat of a pipe dream. From 1997 to 2006, there were just two films to reach that milestone, they being Titanic (the biggest movie of all-time with a seemingly insurmountable $1.8 billion) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, the Oscar-winning chapter to what can be argued is the finest screen trilogy of our time (that’s a debate for another day). In 2006, we saw the powerhouse success of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest which parlayed the unexpected popularity of the first film into an even larger haul for its sequel, breaking the domestic opening weekend record »

BAFTAs stay ahead of Oscars with Feb. 16, 2014 ceremony
27 March 2013 6:26 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
With the Oscars having shifted to March 2 to avoid the Winter Olympics, it was no surprise that the BAFTAs announced Wednesday that their film awards for 2013 will take place on Feb. 16, 2014. -Insertgroups:12- The British academy had to go for this Sunday right in the middle of the sportsfest (Feb. 7 - 23) to keep ahead of the Oscars by two weeks. As the BBC does not air these kudos live, it has some flexibility in terms of timing. And with Sochi, Russia -- site of the Games -- four hours ahead of London, all the events of the day should be finished early enough to air the BAFTAs in primetime. While the homegrown audience is important, the BAFTAs are just as concerned with being watched by Oscar voters. Since these kudos were moved up in 2000 to take place while academy members are still voting, the BAFTAs have foreseen seven of the »

Which 2013 Movies Could Earn $1 Billion Worldwide?
13 March 2013 4:54 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
At the beginning of 2008, only three movies*Titanic, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest*had earned over $1 billion worldwide. Flash forward five years to early 2013, and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has just recently become the 15th title to reach that illustrious milestone. With the addition of 3D ticket pricing and the rapid expansion of the foreign market in areas like China and Russia, reaching $1 billion definitely isn't all that it used to be. Still, it hasn't lost all its prestige, and hitting that mark remains an undeniable sign that a movie is a global sensation. Four 2012 movies reached that coveted level, though only one (Skyfall) was a major surprise. 2013, on the other hand, doesn't have as many obvious choices, and it's therefore unlikely we'll once again see four $1 billion titles. Excluding Jurassic Park*which will obviously pass »

What Your Favourite Lord Of The Rings Movie Says About You
6 March 2013 7:56 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Clocking in at 558 minutes (683 if you’re an elitist with the special extended editions, and a whopping 726 minutes is you’re lucky enough to have the Blu-ray editions), the Lord of the Rings trilogy requires some pretty epic commitment. Yet despite being closer to retirement age by the time Return of the King reaches its lengthy end credits, Peter Jackson’s films are widely regarded amongst certain circles as some of the best of all time.
If you’ve been living under a rock, Lord of the Rings – based on J.R.R Tolkien’s novel from 1955 – tells the story of Frodo Baggins, a hobbit from The Shire who inherits a golden ring from his uncle; a ring that naturally turns out to the One Ring (or Ring of Power, depending who you ask), forged by the Dark Lord Sauron to rule Middle Earth. Simply put, what follows is an »

Around-the-World Roundup: 'Hobbit' Journeys Past $1 Billion
5 March 2013 4:52 PM, PST | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Thanks to strong grosses in China, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey finally passed $1 billion worldwide this weekend. Otherwise, with most countries preparing for the upcoming debut of Oz The Great and Powerful, there wasn't much going on at the foreign box office this weekend. The Hobbit added $8.6 million in China for a new total of $37.6 million there. That helped push the international total past $700 million, making it just the 10th movie ever to reach that level (and the seventh movie in the past two years). Add in the $301.4 million at the domestic box office, and The Hobbit is now the 15th movie ever to reach $1 billion worldwide. The movie's worldwide gross is still well below that of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ($1.12 billion), though it is at least ahead of Fellowship of the Ring ($872 million) and The Two Towers ($926 million). By the end of its run, »

"The Hobbit" Passes $1 Billion Mark
4 March 2013 8:32 PM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Bilbo has bagged a billion.
Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" has raked in just over $1 billion at the global box office.
The number was boosted by an excellent debut in China, where it managed $37 million in its first 10 days. All up, the box-office split is 30% U.S. domestic/70% international territories.
The film is presently the second highest-earning worldwide title in the series after "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".
It's also the fourth highest grossing film of 2012 behind "Marvel's The Avengers," "Skyfall" and "The Dark Knight Rises".
The news comes as another big-budget fantasy tentpole, "Jack the Giant Slayer," opened to a fairly dismal $27 million in the United States.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has just joined the billion dollar club with a whopping total of $1,001,134,992, where $700 million came from international markets. It’s not the first time a Middle Earth movie has joined such a prestigious club. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is also a member, with $1.119 billion in the bank! It’s going to take something special 3D inflated or not to knock Avatar off the top spot, which has sat there since 2009 with a staggering $2.78 billion! »

We’ve all been expecting it to, it’s just been a matter of when. And now Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has finally done it. It is the fifteenth film to take more than a billion dollars around the world.
There were three new additions to the list last year, kicking off with Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, and followed soon after by Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises.
Sam Mendes’ Skyfall took a lot of us by surprise to become the first ever Bond film to break the billion-dollar barrier at the end of last year, along with becoming the highest-grossing UK film of all time.
And now Jackson’s first instalment in the upcoming The Hobbit trilogy has crossed the threshold, taking more than one billion dollars all over the world.
