Gerard Butler to Destroy Robots With His Mind in 'The Raven'
17 May 2013 11:05 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Who needs "300"-style Spartan abs when you can just blow robots up with your telekinetic powers?
That's a question you'll have to ask Gerard Butler, since according to Deadline he and his abs are in negotiations to replace Liam Hemsworth as the lead in Universal's feature version of sci-fi short "The Raven." No relation to that bird crap John Cusack movie of the same name, or the Lou Reed album either.
And, no, it's not the same movie as "The Crow," either. Nice try.
Ricardo de Montreuil's 6-minute futuristic conspiracy thriller exploded the internet in 2010, looking like a legit summer blockbuster right out of the gate with its combo of well-integrated CGI, tight action and lens flares galore. The calling card announced in de Montreuil a perfect blend of Neill Blomkamp meets Michael Bay, even though its plot of dystopian government types using machines to hunt down a super-powered »

Mrc, Philip K. Dick Estate Resolve ‘Adjustment Bureau’ Dispute
14 May 2013 5:40 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Media Rights Capital and the Philip K. Dick Estate have resolved their claims against each other over proceeds from “The Adjustment Bureau.”
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed in a statement issued Tuesday, other than the disclosure that the settlement includes the opportunity to work together on future Philip K. Dick Estate properties.
“The Estate is pleased to continue our relationship with Mrc,” said Laura Leslie, Dick’s daughter and trustee for the estate. “Mrc’s talent-friendly executives and proven track record of producing high-quality entertainment across multiple platforms make them an ideal partner for us.”
“The Adjustment Bureau,” starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, opened in March 2011 and grossed $128 million worldwide following its release by Universal.
The estate sued Mrc, director George Nolfi and producer Michael Hackett in the fall of 2011 in federal court over a share of the returns from “The Adjustment Bureau,” based on Dick’s short story, »

Seitz: Snap Judgments on Fox’s New Shows
14 May 2013 9:35 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Vulture's TV critic, Matt Zoller Seitz, will be watching and evaluating the early clips and concepts of each of the new shows unveiled at this year's upfronts. Here are his thoughts on Fox's shows — you can watch trailers for the dramas here and the comedies here. Almost Human The gist: In a dystopian future, a burned-out hotshot cop named Kennex (Karl Urban, looking and sounding kinda like Brad Pitt in Se7en) is paired with a “synthetic” partner named Dorian (Michael Ealy). Although the buddy cop premise screams Alien Nation, promo materials evoke a combination of dark sci-fi pictures: Robocop and Minority Report especially. And the fact that the robot is super-chill and the human impetuous suggests a Kirk-Spock dynamic. “I can’t say that I was born,” Dorian tells Kennex, “but I was made to feel, as much as you.”Gut reaction: Sci-fi geeks will be all over this in »

Jack the Ripper. Few names live in such infamy, and rightly so. The man was an absolute butcher who's never been 100% identified by all those who have pursued his gruesome case files. Now, decades later, he's back!

Haunting Video Store Paintings for 'Mission: Impossible' & Many More
29 April 2013 12:40 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
As cinephiles, we love movie posters. Right now on my wall there are original double sided one sheets for The Dark Knight, Minority Report, Back to the Future Part II, Dick Tracy, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and many more not even in frames. For us, posters are used to show our love for certain films, but first and foremost they are used to promote films. But not everyone has access to posters, and in the West African nation of Ghana, traveling movie shows have paintings created by local artists, and some of them are hilariously terrifying recreations of the films, and some of them are mind-numbingly ridiculous. Look! Here are some of these Ghana movie poster paintings from Awesome Robo: These are just a handful of these paintings, and you can see dozens more right here. Some of these will haunt your dreams and don't even resemble the films they're trying to promote. »

Exclusive Interview: Dante Tomaselli on 'Torture Chamber,' 'Alice Sweet Alice' and More!
26 April 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Dante Tomaselli has been making movies since the late '90s. But, he has been garnering a lot of attention over the past seven years, with extremely intelligent, visceral, unrelenting films like Satan’s Playground and the much buzzed about Torture Chamber. Tomaselli is a director to watch. He is quickly becoming a household name to horror fans. He makes thought provoking, intense films that say much more than what we see on the surface. FEARnet caught up with the genre great to get the details on his latest film Torture Chamber and his upcoming film, a redux of Alice, Sweet Alice. Tomaselli filled us in on why scoring his projects is so important to him, when we can expect Torture Chamber to be released, why the budget for Alice is going to be his biggest yet, and why he decided to relocate Alice to the 1970s for his re-imagining. »

Panel Discussion – X-Men: Legacy
26 April 2013 2:36 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Hey folks – Mark again. Last week saw a fluke of scheduling for my pull list which meant I only got one comic from the store, that being X-Men: Legacy #9 from writer Si Spurrier and artist Tan Eng Huat. This series has been one of the best surprises from Marvel’s recent relaunch, so I thought it’d be worth talking about while we’ve got the time.
First off, Marvel isn’t publishing anything else like this book. No-one is, quite frankly. Spurrier and Huat’s ongoing tale of David Haller, disenfranchised mutant and son of the recently Charles Xavier, is as thought-provoking and challenging to the medium as anything coming out of Image or any creator-owned project. The story follows David, commonly known as Legion due to the myriad powers he possesses within him, as he attempts to control both the hundreds of malicious personalities that threaten to take »

Film Face-off: Tom Cruise's 'Minority Report' vs. Tom Cruise's 'Oblivion'
22 April 2013 6:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Tom Cruise is a star. Doesn't matter how you've decided to feel about his personal life, but his box office success is almost unmatched. With all of the films he's appeared in (36 and counting) Oblivion is only his third science fiction. So what would happen if Tom Cruise fought Tom Cruise? Well, that's a mission that's just impossible. So instead let's have this Film Face-off be Tom Cruise's Minority Report vs. Tom Cruise's Oblivion. If you're wondering where War of the Worlds is, in a behind-the-scenes Film Face-off, it was destroyed 5-0 vs. Minority Report. It wasn't even close. Let's see if Cruise's latest with director Joseph Kosinski can compare to his first collaboration with Steven Spielberg from all the way back in 2002. I...

Tom Cruise Back on Top with 'Oblivion'
21 April 2013 12:24 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
As the only brand-new movie in nationwide release, sci-fi adventure Oblivion easily took first place with an estimated $38.2 million. Unfortunately, overall box office was down around 19 percent from the same frame last year, and it now appears that April 2013 will wind up about even with April 2012.Oblivion's $38.2 million start ($5.5 million in IMAX) is the highest non-sequel debut for star Tom Cruise since 2005's War of the Worlds, and it's his fifth-best ever behind that movie and the first three Mission: Impossible outings. It was a bit higher than 2002's Minority Report ($35.7 million), though with ticket price inflation it likely had noticeably lower attendance. Oblivion's solid (but not spectacular) opening can be attributed at least in part to smart scheduling. Bracing for the Summer box office season, studios typically avoid releasing big-budget fare during the month of April; Universal Pictures, however, successfully stretched the calendar in April 2009 and 2011 with Fast and Furious »

Box Office: How Tom Cruise Stays on Top
21 April 2013 10:40 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Even before Tom Cruise's "Oblivion" opened in North America on Thursday night, the 50-year-old must have been grinning his famous grin. Before the movie had sold a single ticket here, it was a surefire hit. In his native land, Cruise takes a lot of ribbing, whether for his headline-generating personal life (especially since 2005, the year of the couch-jump) or for the seeming shrinkage of his star-power (again, especially since 2005). The estimated $38.2 million "Oblivion" earned this weekend marked his biggest domestic opening since "Mission: Impossible III" seven years ago. Some will call it a comeback, others will call it a fluke or last hurrah from a middle-aged action hero desperately trying to hold on to his relevance in an industry that relentlessly moves on to the next big (young) thing. But the truth is, Cruise has been a remarkably consistent box office winner, even since he started raising eyebrows eight »

Box Office: Moviegoers Fall Into 'Oblivion' As Studios Prepare For Start Of Summer
21 April 2013 9:01 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Tom Cruise could be seen as a leading man in a holding pattern right now. The fans still come out for his films, but maybe the base hasn’t grown despite an impressive box office record carried into the 2000’s. Though it depends where you consider that base should come from. “Oblivion,” his latest, banked a solid non-3D $38 million by the end of Sunday. One wonders what that does for the Cruise brand: consider that back in 2001, Cruise guided “Minority Report” to a very similar gross. Given more than a decade of inflation and absolutely zero competition as studios clear the decks for “Iron Man 3” in May, shouldn’t you expect more?Yes and no. Outside of the 'Mission: Impossible' films, easily Cruise's best performing franchise, "Oblivion" is Cruise's second highest opening after Spielberg's "War of the Worlds," which peeled wide to a whopping $64 million in »

Box Office Report: Tom Cruise's 'Oblivion' Rockets to Solid $38.2 Million Opening
21 April 2013 8:12 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
Tom Cruise's sci-fi pic Oblivion opened to $38.2 million at the domestic box office to come in No. 1 after a better-than-expected performance and despite a B- CinemaScore. Overseas, the Universal pic continued to please, grossing $33.7 million in its second weekend for an international cume of $112 million and worldwide total of $150.2 million. The movie marks Cruise's best North American opening outside of the Mission: Impossible franchise, not accounting for inflation, as well as his return to sci-fi (previous titles include War of the Worlds and Minority Report).

Kosinski's Sci-Fier to Become Cruise's Biggest Domestic Debut Since 2006?
21 April 2013 12:55 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Kosinski's Mind-boggling Sci-Fier to Boast Cruise's Biggest Domestic Box-Office Debut Weekend Since 2006?: Tom Cruise is no longer the superstar he used to be -- well, in case you believe the United States and Canada represent the whole world. (More information on Cruise's international b.o. allure further down.) Since J.J. Abrams' thriller Mission: Impossible III back in '06, only one Cruise movie in wide release has opened with more than $25 million at the North American box office: Brad Bird's fourquel Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, which brought in $29.55 million on its second weekend (and first in wide release) on Christmas weekend 2011. This weekend (April 19-21), Cruise returns to American and Canadian screens with Joseph Kosinski's "original" sci-fier Oblivion; initial (Friday) results have surpassed studio predictions and, for that matter, the predictions of most pundits.

Oblivion (2013) – The Review
18 April 2013 8:23 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
One complaint of older film fans is that the stars of today can’t compare to those from Hollywood’s “golden age”. Modern actors appear in one type or genre of film and don’t seem to branch out. Clark Gable or Tyrone Power could go from romantic comedy to action thriller and even musicals and westerns. Well there’s one actor working today that truly attempts a variety of films, and he’s still at the top of the box office: Mr. Tom Cruise. Last year he scored with a musical comedy (Rock Of Ages) in the Summer and squeezed in an action thriller (perhaps the start of a new franchise), Jack Reacher right before Christmas. In the last few weeks before the official Summer blockbusters, he’s returned to the science fiction arena without the director that guided him in his last two Sf epics, Minority Report and »

Forecast: 'Oblivion' Gets Jump on Summer Season This Weekend
18 April 2013 3:54 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
As the Summer movie season quickly approaches, the studios are only releasing one brand-new movie*Tom Cruise sci-fi adventure Oblivion*in to theaters nationwide this weekend. While strong word-of-mouth will keep 42 in play, Oblivion has enough going for it that it should open on top with at least $30 million, which will be the highest opening weekend in April 2013.At the beginning of the new century, Tom Cruise was arguably the biggest movie star in the U.S.: from Mission: Impossible II in 2000 to Mission: Impossible III in 2006, Cruise starred in seven-straight movies that earned at least $100 million at the domestic box office. Towards the end of that run, though, Cruise's public image took a hit due to some of his more eccentric behavior and his strong association with the controversial Church of Scientology. Since 2006, Cruise has only had a single $100 million domestic earner, which was the fourth Mission: Impossible »

Tom Cruise to Star in New Sci-Fi Film Yukikaze
16 April 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Tom Cruise has really embraced the sci-fi genre recently! He has Oblivion coming out this weekend. He recently shot All You Need is Kill, and now he's set to star in a big screen adaptation of a book called Yukikaze for Warner Bros. The book was written by Japanese author Chohei Kambayashi. Here's a description of it:
More than thirty years ago, a hyper-dimensional passageway suddenly appeared over the continent of Antarctica. Fighters from the mysterious alien force known as the Jam poured through the passage, the first wave an attempted terrestrial invasion. Their ferocity was unquestionable, their aim unknown. Humanity, united by a common enemy, managed to repel the invaders, chasing them back through the passageway to the strange planet nicknamed “Fairy.”
The task of finishing the battle was given to the newly formed Faf, a combat force created to go to Fairy and eliminate the Jam bases once and for all. »

Tom Cruise lays waste to the opposition in Oblivion
16 April 2013 7:39 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Studio bosses are left wondering what went right as the science-fiction story brings home a surprise result
The winner
Reviews were mixed, and the early April release date suggested a movie falling short of the blockbuster premier league, but there was nothing puny about the opening-weekend box office for Oblivion: £3.36m, plus Wednesday/Thursday previews totaling £1.60m. The five-day £4.96m debut compares with £2.79m for GI Joe: Retaliation from a couple of weeks ago, and a previews-inflated £3.58m opening for star Tom Cruise's previous effort Jack Reacher in late December. Oblivion director Joseph Kosinski's earlier Tron: Legacy debuted with £1.97m back in 2010. Cruise also has a strong track record in the sci-fi genre. War of the Worlds debuted in July 2005 with £8.64m, and Minority Report in July 2002 with £4.51m.
Studios always review results for all their releases, and now Universal is in the happy position of wondering what went right with Oblivion. »

Tom Cruise signs up for new sci-fi movie

News Simon Brew 16 Apr 2013 - 06:36
After the success of Oblivion, Tom Cruise is signing up to star in Yukikaze...
Get past the original mix of downbeat to middling reviews, and it seems that lots of you - us included - are really enjoying Tom Cruise's latest sci-fi movie, Oblivion, a lot. The film has got off to a strong start at the Us box office, and it's far better than some of the advance word and clandestine secrecy would have you believe.
Cruise and sci-fi have form, though. We can't say we're particularly enamoured with his and Steven Spielberg's War Of The Worlds, but Minority Report remains excellent (save for an unnecessarily prolonged ending). And the news that the actor has picked another sci-fi project to add to his slate is positive.
This time, Tom Cruise is set to star in Yukikaze, a film that's going to »
