New Batch of Images from Bruce Willis’ Surrogates

11 July 2009 9:43 PM, PDT | From SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news

Here are some new images from Jonathan Mostow’s new sci-fi actioner “Surrogates” for ya. Don’t ignore this movie, folks, Jonathan Mostow is a damn fine action director (I still think his “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” is very underrated) and anything with Willis carrying a gun and running around trying to save the world has always been worthy of an admissions ticket. Plus, it’s got Radha Mitchell, who is always good in sci-fi stuff, and of course, Rosamund Pike is easy on the eyes. Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop (Bruce Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others’ surrogates. Starring Bruce Willis, Radha Mitchell, Rosamund Pike, Ving Rhames, Michael Cudlitz, Helena Mattsson, Boris Kodjoe, Trevor Donovan, Jack Noseworthy, Valerie Azlynn, and directed by Jonathan Mostow.

Surrogates poster

1 July 2009 4:44 PM, PDT | From JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news

If there's one thing movies have taught us, it's that it takes Bruce Willis to get something done. Take Surrogates for example, in which sci-fi future Willis must investigate a murder apparently committed by a robotic human counterpart. Coming Soon got first look at the poster for the flick, which firmly establishes that Bruce Willis is bearded and tunneled and prepared for action. T3's Jonathan Mostow directs.

134 New Names Invited to Join the Academy

1 July 2009 1:08 AM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

Yesterday came the yearly announcement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as it extended 134 invitations to several artists and executives "who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures" read the press release. Of course all of them can decline, but I wouldn't necessarily expect that to happen as all who accept the invitation will be the only additions in 2009 to the Academy's roster of voting members. "These filmmakers have, over the course of their careers, captured the imagination of audiences around the world," said Academy President Sid Ganis. "It's this kind of talent and creativity that make up the Academy, and I welcome each of them to our ranks." The list follows below and reading around the best analysis I saw of it came from Nathaniel Rogers at The Film Experience who, among other things, pointed out the addition of longtime Darren Aronofsky's

Video: Hilarious Terminator 3 Deleted Scene

29 June 2009 7:30 PM, PDT | From WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news

"Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" gets praised for trying to explain the complicated franchise and its many timelines. Unfortunately, it is arguably the worst installment in the first trilogy. Today we have another example of how the film tries to explain parts of the story with the results turning out to be silly and inappropriate. "T3" was released on DVD years ago, but it is only now that we (and probably many of you) are learning that it contains a deleted scene that explains why the Terminators look and sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger. [via /Film] The scene, which was actually included in early prints of the film, shows Chief Master Sergeant William Candy (Schwarzenegger) talking about being chosen for the Terminator project. He has a thick Southern accent, which doesn't sit well with General Brewster. Deleted Scene: If you cannot see the player, click here.

Lol: Terminator 3 Deleted Scene Explains Why The Terminators Look Like Arnold

29 June 2009 11:24 AM, PDT | From /Film | See recent /Film news

Like many of you, I've never purchased or rented Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines on DVD, so this deleted scene has eluded my attention (update: some people in the comments claim that the scene was actually recorded for the T3 video game, but it was included on the T3 DVD as a deleted scene). For those of you who also missed it, this totally ridiculous sequence reveals why the Terminators look and sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger, and haphazardly explains what happened to Cyberdyne. If this scene was actually in the theatrical cut of the film, I'm sure I would have walked out. And that's saying a lot considering the sequel was all kinds of horrible. It cracks me up that people actually tried to defend this movie over Terminator Salvation... Watch the clip after the jump.

Weekend Report: 'Hangover' Gets High, 'Up' Hangs On

8 June 2009 1:50 PM, PDT | From Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news

The Hangover hit the jackpot over the weekend, narrowly edging out Up for the top spot. The ribald comedy had been projected to trail the Pixar adventure in Sunday's studio estimates, but was revised upward once actual grosses poured in. Hangover's Friday dominance combined with a better-than-expected Sunday haul cinched its position, despite Up soaring past it on Saturday as well as being marginally ahead on Sunday. Both pictures were highly successful for their genres and wound up less than two percent apart. Less fortunate was Land of the Lost, which debuted at a distant third. The weekend as a whole came in at $165.5 million, off six percent from the same period last year when Kung Fu Panda opened. The Hangover packed a much greater wallop than the norm for its genre, taking in $45 million on around 4,500 screens at 3,269 sites. It was hyped as the preordained raunchy comedy hit of the season,

Movie News Wrap Up: May 8, 2009

8 June 2009 1:23 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news

This week:

Will Ferrell has a Hangover while the box office is Up; Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway do Drugs; Mary-Kate Olsen, Alex Pettyfer and Vanessa Hudgens are Beastly; Sigourney Weaver returns to aliens; Lemony Snicket gets animated and Roberts and Bardem Eat.

 

Pixar’s Up stayed on top of the box office with a second weekend gross of $44 million. With great reviews and $137 million already in the bank, it looks like Up will be one of the biggest hits of the summer season.The R-rated comedy The Hangover opened strong in second place with a weekend take of $43 million. With a sequel already in development, it looks like a weekend that Warner Bros. doesn’t want to forget.

Speaking of hangovers - Will Ferrell’s Land of the Lost opened to a pretty lackluster $19 million. Looks like the films chances of turning a profit are history. [Note: Parents Beware, Land of the Lost is not for kids. Though it's been advertised that way, the movie is full of adult humor.]

Terminator Salvation Movie Review

7 June 2009 8:00 PM, PDT | From MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news

Having almost wiped the horrible memories of T3 from my mind I learned of another sequel, a chance for redemption. The involvement of the usually brilliant Christian Bale and utter genius of James Cameron gave me hope for something that might do justice to the original two masterpieces. The film was to be set in the future, in the middle of the fabled war against the machines, post an all out global nuclear holocaust. Finally, a chance to see the scenes I had only dreamed of!   James Cameron had skilfully left a lot of this war to my imagination in the previous films, setting the scene ...

Exclusive Interview: Bryce Dallas Howard on 'Terminator'

4 June 2009 9:30 PM, PDT | From CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news

When Charlotte Gainsbourg left Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins due to scheduling conflicts, director McG turned to another famous daughter of film royalty, Bryce Dallas Howard to replace her. In this fourth installment of the groundbreaking sci-fi franchise, Howard is Kate Connor, the wife of John Connor, played by Christian Bale, and a member of the resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. A veterinarian in Terminator 3, she has adapted her knowledge of animal physiology and become the rebel group’s resident physician. 

Stepping into a part vacated by another actress is not a new experience for Howard. She landed the role of Fisher Willow in Tennessee Williams's Loss of A Teardop Diamond when Lindsay Lohan dropped out and, more controversially, Howard was cast by Lars Von Trier to replace Nicole Kidman as Grace in 2005’s Manderlay.

'Terminator' Sequel without Arnold – A Stupid Idea?

4 June 2009 6:13 PM, PDT | From Fandango | See recent Fandango news

That's what James Cameron called it. He recently appeared as a guest at the Aero in Santa Monica for a Q&A, and discussed what it was like to see a franchise he originated continue with other directors. (You can hear the clip at Movieline and the entire podcast at MarketSaw.) Cameron admitted he had already reconciled himself to the fact that he'd see a Terminator sequel one day that didn't have anything to do with him, and suggested that Arnold Schwarzenegger, who wanted to continue with T3, ask for a whopping amount of money for his work. After all, Cameron couldn't fathom them making a sequel without Arnie... which begs the question, was it really a stupid idea?Cameron wasn't exactly bashing Salvation, and it was all probably said in good fun, but making a...

Auto of the week: Honda Xr 100 motorcycle from Terminator 2: Judgement Day

2 June 2009 4:38 AM, PDT | From Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news

Tomorrow marks the return of one of cinema’s most beloved sci-fi heroes – John Connor in Terminator Salvation, though he’ll look a little bit different to the last time we saw him in 2003’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Now he looks a lot like Batman star Christian Bale, yet back then he was in his early 20s and resembled Sin City actor Nick Stahl and before that a pre-teen Edward Furlong was doing onscreen duty as the future human resistance fighter in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. And it’s this first incarnation of John Connor that we salute in this week’s auto spot with his Honda Xr 100 motorcycle.

John sure loves his Honda XR100, whizzing around the highways of Los Angeles on it and working on it in his garage as he listens to Guns’n’Roses with mulleted mate, Tim. That is until he’s

Fall Of The Machines

1 June 2009 10:43 PM, PDT | From AirlockAlpha.com | See recent Airlock Alpha news

This story could contain spoilers for "Terminator: Salvation." It was one of the most anticipated films of the summer, the fourth in a mega-successful series. So just how did "Terminator: Salvation" get defeated at the box office by a band of Ben Stiller-led living museum artifacts? Maybe it.s simply that audiences were looking for something the whole family could see. Or perhaps, despite "Salvation.s" PG-13 rating, the Terminator series still carries the stigma of a hard-r series, keeping families away during Memorial Day weekend. Whatever the case may be, the film certainly had a lot going against it. It.s been six long years since "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," and with its marquee star currently serving as the California governor, "Salvation" was forced to take the franchise ...

Weekend Report: 'Up' Lifts Pixar to Tenth Smash

1 June 2009 12:19 PM, PDT | From Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news

Pixar's commercial track record ballooned to a sensational ten for ten with the release of Up. The adventure comedy swooped in with a $68.1 million start on approximately 6,700 screens at 3,766 sites, handily perched atop a weekend that grossed a bit less as a whole than the same timeframe last year when Sex and the City dominated. In the pantheon of Pixar debuts, Up slots in third place, behind The Incredibles and Finding Nemo and ahead of Wall-e, which opened to $63.1 million last year and closed with a $223.8 million total. However, adjusted for ticket price inflation, Up would rank fifth as Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc. would rate significantly higher. When those pictures came out, though, computer animation was a fresher format and not dime a dozen like it seems to be today. Pixar has held up as a brand by focusing on story over spectacle, celebrity voices and pop culture references.

Friday Report: 'Up' Floats to the Top

30 May 2009 1:33 PM, PDT | From Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news

On Friday, Up arrived with a buoyant estimated $21.4 million on approximately 6,700 screens at 3,766 sites (including a record 1,530 3D presentations). The Pixar comedy adventure ranks as the second-highest grossing opening day for a Disney-animated title, behind Wall-e's $23.2 million, although the first days of The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Cars and Monsters, Inc. rate higher in terms of attendance. Up and Finding Nemo are the only Pixar movies to debut on the post-Memorial Day weekend, and Nemo's $20.2 million is the equivalent of over $24 million adjusted for ticket-price inflation. Now, if Up follows a similar pattern as early June releases like Cars or Kung Fu Panda, it's weekend would come in close to $65 million, but if it's more akin to Finding Nemo, its weekend would soar well above $70 million. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian subsided by more than half from last Friday, grossing an estimated $7.5 million for an $87.3 million total in eight days.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Blu-ray Review)

30 May 2009 1:11 PM, PDT | From Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news

Main Feature (1H 49M 6S)

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines had the unenviable task of following two of the most successful and critically acclaimed Sci-Fi films of all time. Regardless of what this had to offer it was on to a beating from the point of its conception. This is a special effects playground and was always destined for a Blu-ray release but there’s no doubt in my mind this has been timed to cash in on the expectations surrounding Terminator Salvation.

If you’ve already seen this film, and most of you will have, you’ll know that this completely fails to live up to the standards set in the first and second films in the series. For those who have somehow managed to avoid watching this film I will do my best to explain the many problems I have with this failed attempt at progressing the franchise.
