Avatar Review
20 December 2009 10:45 AM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Avatar is a fantasy/sci-fi epic that takes place on Pandora, a lush, green planet where an humanoid alien race known as the Na’vi live in total harmony with nature. Humans want to get their hands on some of the valuable minerals contained beneath the planet’s surface, but in order to do that, they need to relocate the natives. To gather intelligence and learn more about their culture, the U.S. military creates genetic Na’vi clones that can be controlled remotely by human soldiers using a neural link. When Jake Sully, a wheelchair-bound Marine, infiltrates the Na’vi clan, he soon finds himself torn between two bodies and two opposing ways of life…read more [FilmJunk]

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, »

Avatar Review

[Big thanks to Mike Sizemore for the following review.]
I just got back home from the world premiere of Avatar here in London. It's safe to keep reading. You are entering a spoiler-free zone.
I wasn't expecting much. I attended the 15 minute IMAX preview a few months back and out of context what I saw was pretty. Very pretty. The immersive technology was an obvious step up, but the scenes with the marines came across as just weird on the eye and the sequences with all the alien fauna gave me flashbacks to James Mason clambering through mushrooms forests in Journey to the Centre of the Earth. But what really had me worried was the story.
There's a lot of that same worry online. Avatar is often mentioned in the same breath as Ferngully: The Last Rainforest and Dances with Wolves, and then there was *that* South Park episode. I arrived this evening to a blue carpet event (I »

Yogi Bear Recruits Tom Cavanagh
1 December 2009 12:44 AM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
The big-screen outing for Yogi Bear, due late next year, has found a Ranger Smith / male lead, and that actor is Tom Cavanagh! Ok, he's not quite a household name yet, but he played Jd's brother in Scrubs so he gets a pass from us.Cavanagh's Ranger becomes the love interest for Anna Faris' documentary filmmaker as she visits Jellystone Park to shoot a film. We're guessing the two get thrown together thanks, at least partly, to the exploits of eccentric bear Yogi (voiced by Dan Aykroyd) and his counterpart BooBoo (voiced by Justin Timberlake).It's all being directed by Eric Brevig, who brought us the rather charming Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and written by Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia. Let's hope it all turns out smarter than the average live action / CG-animated mix, eh? »

iTunes Review: Land of the Lost
29 November 2009 9:12 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Land of the Lost is the latest movie to be gifted to us by NBC Universal. The movie stars Will Ferrell, Anna Friel, Danny McBride and John Boylan and is directed by Brad Silberling. Ok, so where do I start with this one. I guess I begin by telling you that I’m not the biggest Will Ferrell fan in the world so this review may, in part be influenced by that fact. That said, I have found him very funny in The Anchorman and Wedding Crashers.
Land of the Lost is about Dr. Rick Marshall (Ferrell), a ridiculed physicist who, after inventing a device to move between alternate universes, is sucked into a space-time vortex with his assistant (Anna Friel) and a tour guide (Danny McBride). In this alternate universe, the trio make friends with a primate named Chaka (Jorma Taccone), their only ally in a world full of dinosaurs and other fantastic creatures. »

Dan Aykroyd, Anna Faris, Justin Timberlake and Yogi Bear, Oh My!

Entertainment Weekly has uncovered the supposed casting for the upcoming live-action/hybrid adventure that will bring the lovable picnic basket thief Yogi Bear to the big screen. The Hanna-Barbera cartoon will be adapted into a 3D film by director Eric Brevig (Journey to the Center of the Earth), with a screenplay from Wild Hogs scribe Brad Copeland. We now know who will voice Yogi, his trusty little friend Boo Boo and who will play a documentary filmmaker trying to get a glimpse of these two hungry bears. Dan Aykroyd will voice Yogi, with pop star turned actor Justin Timberlake taking his side as the voice of Boo-Boo. The lovely Anna Faris, seen most recently in the twisted Observe and Report, will play the film's documentarian, a girl named Rachel. The story will revolve around two animated bears -- one of whom wears a collar and tie, but no shirt -- who are the antagonists to one Park »

'Yogi Bear' Movie Adds Justin Timberlake, Dan Aykroyd And Anna Faris
6 November 2009 2:31 PM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
From Movies Blog: Remember kids, the truth is always far, far stranger than fiction. It was a little more than a year ago that we found out the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series "Yogi Bear" would be getting a big screen treatment. There was no casting announced or anything like that; just that the project was happening with "Surf's Up" director Ash Brannon at the helm and that it would feature a mix of live-action and CG animation.
Well today, the plot thickened. Variety reports that Anna Faris, Justin Timberlake and Dan Aykroyd are all in negotiations to join the cast of the movie, which will now be directed by "Journey to the Center of the Earth" helmer Eric Brevig from a script by Brad Copeland ("Wild Hogs").

Faris, Aykroyd, and Timberlake in ‘Yogi Bear’
6 November 2009 12:55 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Anna Faris, Dan Aykroyd, and Justin Timberlake are in negotiations for Warner Bros’ live-action/CGI hybrid feature Yogi Bear.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Faris will play Rachel, a nature documentary filmmaker shooting Yogi and Boo-Boo for her next project. Though her last movie was voice work for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Faris’ character will be a live-action performance.
Aykroyd will lend the voice of Yogi Bear, the picnic basket-stealing menace to Jellystone Park. Timberlake will provide the vocals for Boo-Boo, his bow-tied sidekick. Both bears are expected to remain pantless. No word on which lucky actor gets to play the Park Ranger. Is Jason Lee available for a paycheck?
WB is planning to shoot it in New Zealand next month with director Eric Bravig (Journey to the Center of the Earth). I bet you can’t wait to hear the range Timberlake exhibits in this one. Shrek the Third »

‘Yogi Bear’ Adds Aykroyd, Faris & Timberlake
6 November 2009 10:12 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Ever since a live-action, 3D Yogi Bear movie was announced back in February this year, there hasn’t really been any movement on the news front regarding it. However, fast forward to now and we may have our main cast in the form of Dan Aykroyd, Anna Faris and Justin Timberlake.
Aykroyd is in negotiations to voice the titular character in Yogi Bear, with Faris set to play a nature documentarian who follows the antics of Yogi in the fictional Jellystone Park. Timberlake is also in talks to join the project, possibly playing Yogi’s sidekick, Boo-Boo. The film is being directed by Eric Brevig (Journey To The Center of the Earth), and produced by Donald De Line and Karen Rosenfelt as a live-action/CGI hybrid in the vein of Alvin and the Chipmunks and Garfield (aim high, why don’t you?).

Dan Aykroyd, Anna Faris and Justin Timberlake Join Yogi Bear
6 November 2009 7:45 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Live action/CG family comedies for everyone! That's right, yet another hybrid animated film is moving forward this week, with the announcement of some pretty big names entering discussions for the Warner Brothers adaptation of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon Yogi Bear. It looks like the studio has found voices for both Yogi and Boo-Boo, plus an actress for their first live action role. According to Variety [1], Dan Aykroyd is currently in talks to headline the film as the mischievous bear Yogi, while musician turned actor Justin Timberlake will play his faithful sidekick Boo-Boo. Anna Faris will play a documentary filmmaker who comes to Jellystone Park. Aykroyd in particular seems like a solid choice, although I'm wondering whether or not Timberlake will try to put on a cartoony voice or just be himself (he previously voiced a character in Shrek the Third). The Yogi Bear script was written by the same »

Yogi Bear movie attracts three actors like bears to sandwiches

The Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake and Anna Faris are in contract discussions to headline the live-action/CG animated Yogi Bear movie for Warner Bros. If this is the first that you're hearing of a Yogi Bear movie, I'm sorry. These things happen.
Aykroyd would provide the voice for Yogi, who would be one of the film's CG creations. Timberlake would offer up the pipes for Boo Boo, which is pretty decent casting I suppose. Faris, best known for her roles as Cindy Campbell in four Scary Movie films, gets to play a real person in the movie, a documentary filmmaker.
Journey to the Center of the Earth's Eric Brevig will director from a screenplay by Brad Copeland (Wild Hogs). Donald De Line (Green Lantern) and Karen Rosenfelt (Twilight) are producing and filming gets underway in December somewhere in New Zealand. They must have better looking trees than we do. »

Dan Aykroyd, Justin Timberlake and Anna Faris have all signed on to roles in Warners' new live-action/CG take on Yogi Bear. It's true- no matter how much we all try to avoid the fact that this film is on the way, it somehow finds a way to remind us.

Faris, meanwhile,will play a documentary filmmaker who meets up with our heroes. Journey To The Centre Of The Earth director Eric Brevig is gearing...
