2010 Golden Globe Nominations
4 hours ago | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »
Is it that time again? Why is most certainly is! The Golden Globe nominations were announced earlier today, with "Inglorious Basterds", "Nine", "Up In the Air" and "Avatar" taking several of the top nominations. This is a perfect example as to why I prefer to watch the Golden Globe Awards over the Academy Awards. I just don't believe the latter plays fair most of the time. Such a case is "The Dark Knight" being completely shut out of the best picture race. I continue to upset myself everytime I think about it. Overall, I thought the nominations were dead on. You can read the entire list inside and be sure to share your thoughts! Do you agree with the nominations? Do you feel there was a motion picture left out? Let us know!

Thor Writers To Develop Futuristic Vampire Pic Damn Nation
4 hours ago | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz who were brought to assist on later drafts of the Thor script for Marvel, are now signed on to script Damn Nation, a futuristic vampire project for Paramount.
Set in a U.S. evacuated after an attack from “inhuman nocturnal predators,” the comic tells the tale of the survivors after the government has been forced to relocate to London while scientists search for a solution.
Dark Horse Entertainment is producing the adaptation, which is based on a comic by Andrew Cosby and art by Jason Alexander.
Just another vampire apocalypse film. We can’t get enough of those can we? The relocation part seems interesting, especially the Us relocating to England. In the midst of trying to survive vamps, that type of political hankering is interesting.

Assessing The Golden Globe Nominations For Best Movie
5 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
The 2010 Golden Globe nominations hit this morning. As per usual, this triggered a stream of reactions from celebrities and the press that covers them. You can't have an awards show without a little bit of post-nomination griping. Which of course paves the way for post-win griping. As you might expect, eyes are primarily focused on the Globes' two biggest categories: Best Drama and Best Comedy/Musical. So that's the first one we're going to consider too: what's right, what isn't, who's deserving, who's notably absent...
Best Drama
As Movies Blog editor Adam Rosenberg already pointed out, it's difficult to dispute most of the nominations in the Best Drama category. "Inglourious Basterds" is among my favorite movies of the decade, "Up in the Air" is getting plenty of accolades, "The Hurt Locker" is a widely agreed upon favorite and "Precious" was a breakout. I haven't seen "Avatar" yet, but the fact »

Review: Matthew Vaughn's Kick-ass
8 hours ago | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Footage from Matthew Vaughn's independently produced adaptation of Mark Millar's Kick-Ass comic created a strong buzz at Comic-Con in 2009. Lionsgate to pick up the film a few months ago, but little information has emerged beyond a lackluster trailer and some posters. The studio decided to test the waters by showing a rough cut, which was not color-corrected, at the 11th annual Butt-Numb-a-Thon in Austin, Texas. The screening was interrupted by sound problems, but that did nothing to alter the fact that Kick-Ass is an ultra-violent superhero homage that lives up to its name.
Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) is a typical high school nerd who loves comic books and has no luck with girls. After getting robbed one too many times by thugs, Dave decides to carry through with an idea of becoming a superhero. After pulling together a costume from a crappy green wet suit and work boots, »
To-Do: Get to Sherlock Holmes Early for the Trailers
19 hours ago | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
If you're like me, you like to get to the movies early for the previews -- or trailers. This love and desire for 2-3 minute looks at upcoming films on the big screen stems from my childhood, as I've often found myself more excited about the highlights of an upcoming film than the prospect of actually seeing said film. Twisted, I know, but it's who I am. The release of Warner Bros. Sherlock Holmes on Christmas Day presents an interesting opportunity for folks who like previews (and the early-look grabbing geeks who faun over every still image from the upcoming projects of their favorite filmmakers). Along with the movie (which is good), there should also be several interesting trailers, which I explore below. Keep in mind that these trailer may or may not be attached to Holmes in all markets, but as far as we've been told, this is the slate: Iron Man 2 Director Jon Favreau delivers »

Golden Globe picks help sort out Oscar prospects
23 hours ago | Filmicafe | See recent Filmicafe news »
Having 10 best-picture nominees will be something different for the next Academy Awards, but it's nothing new at the Golden Globes.The Globes, whose nominations come out Tuesday morning, have long featured 10 or more best-picture nominees, divided into two categories: best drama and best musical or comedy.Plenty of Globe nominees for musical or comedy have made the best-picture cut at the Academy Awards, some even going on to win the top prize at the Oscars, such as 2002's "Chicago."But the Globe dramatic picks typically are the films that have scored well at the Oscars, where the best-picture category has been doubled from five nominees to 10 for the first time in 66 years.That could make the Globes even more of a bellwether for how Academy Awards nominations will play out Feb. 2, potentially opening the best-picture race to populist lighter films that often get overlooked amid the gloomy fare favored by Oscar voters. »
Second ‘Iron Man 2′ Clue Equally Baffling
14 December 2009 12:18 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
A second newspaper clipping has appeared online at Screenrant as part of Paramount’s viral marketing campaign for Iron Man 2. The first clue was a similar article with the word “secret” highlighted in the headline. This time “Stark” is marked in yellow (or Hulk green, depending on which eager nerd you ask). Put them together and you get… Stasecrarket.
Presumably these are articles pasted to the wall of Whiplash, whose shrine/collage you can see behind him in this teaser poster released last week. How these clues and his obsession with Tony Stark fit together is anyone’s guess at this point. Is this all leading to Christmas Day’s teaser trailer? Are the columns an early indication of a Thor cameo?
Oh, and you shouldn’t read anything into the names in the byline. Just like the last clue, E. Avila and J. Rothwell are members of the »

New 'Iron Man 2' Mystery Image Arrives Online
14 December 2009 10:01 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Last week, a weird image reported to be part of an "Iron Man 2" viral marketing campaign hit the 'Net. The image featured a fictional newspaper clipping from a story about Tony Stark, with the word "Secret" highlighted in its title. Now it looks like we have another piece of the puzzle.
Over at Screen Rant, they've posted a large version of yet another image from what's being touted as some sort of "Iron Man 2" marketing campaign or secret game.This time around, the word "Stark" is highlighted.
The campaign (or game, or whatever it is) seems to be taking its cue from the viral marketing strategy used by "The Dark Knight" last year, which included similar, cryptic images culled from fictional newspapers, as well as various other images and websites that had fans participating in online and offline scavenger hunts, puzzles and other "Dark Knight"-themed activities.

Exclusive: Another Iron Man 2 Viral Puzzle Piece Surfaces
14 December 2009 7:50 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
I’m not sure where this is headed, but Paramount is in the early stages of a viral campaign for Iron Man 2 that right now looks reminiscent of some of what was done (quite successfully) for The Dark Knight. Last week they released a newspaper clipping which (if real) would have been written right at the end of the first Iron Man movie. It looked like the edges were burnt and torn and it was an article about the revelation that Tony Stark revealed to the world that he is Iron Man.
Today we bring you the second newspaper clip released, which you can see right here (click on image for larger version):
I’ve typed up the text of the article, but it’s nothing ground breaking, it just basically talks about the news conference that Tony Stark held when he returned from his captivity in Afghanistan: »

There Will Be Blood Named Greatest Film Of Decade

There Will Be Blood has topped a magazine rundown to find the best movie of the 2000s.
The 2007 drama, which starred Daniel Day Lewis and won two Academy Awards, was rated as the greatest film of the last ten years by experts at Britain's Total Film magazine.
The Dark Knight, released in 2008 and starring late actor Heath Ledger, was named Blockbuster of the Decade, while 2001 hit Donnie Darko was lauded as the top cult movie of the last ten years.
The publication's deputy editor, Jamie Graham, says, "The Total Film selections were designed to identify the films that have most shaped the landscape of modern mainstream cinema." »

Uh-oh! Have the L.A. critics blasted 'The Hurt Locker's' hope of winning best picture at the Oscars?
13 December 2009 7:46 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
There weren't many surprises among the awards proclaimed today by the Los Angeles Film Critics Assn. Most pundits assumed that members would vote either for "The Hurt Locker" or "Up in the Air" as best picture. Lafca ended up picking "The Hurt Locker," giving "Up in the Air" the runner-up spot. That's a bad omen for the hopes of "The Hurt Locker" to win the top Oscar considering Lafca hasn't agreed with academy voters on best picture since "Schindler's List" (1993). Last year, neither the film chosen as the year's best ("Wall-e") nor runner-up ("The Dark Knight") were nominated for best picture. However, usually the top Lafca choices are also leading academy contenders. Surely, Lafca's... »

Something is Happening on the Inception Movie Website
13 December 2009 4:16 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
On August 21st, the official movie website for Christopher Nolan’s Inception went online. When the site first went live, you had the ability to control a spinning top and as you moved your mouse from left to right, it followed you around on screen. Since then, nothing else has happened on the website, but with the amazing worldwide viral campaign for The Dark Knight, I figure Nolan and his team must be planning something just as cool for his new film. After all, we’re only seven months away from Inception hitting theaters and most people haven’t a clue what the film is about - myself included.
So I was quite surprised when I went to the website today and noticed the spinning top is starting to wobble. While I know this isn’t “major” news, I’d wager something is getting ready to be unleashed. Could it be the full trailer? »

Morgan Freeman: He makes any movie better, but in 'Invictus' he's finally a great actor again
12 December 2009 9:28 AM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
Whenever you sit down to watch a movie, it's always a welcome moment when the name Morgan Freeman appears in the opening credits. Whether he's playing God in Bruce Almighty, a saintly janitor in Million Dollar Baby, or a judge, detective, mechanic, or prison inmate, you can rest assured that each and every moment Morgan Freeman is on-screen, the movie, even if it's a dog, will snap to attention, and that Freeman, even in a nothing role, will take the lines he’s been asked to deliver and, through the sheer magnetism of his presence, turn them into something forceful and vibrant and compelling. »

'Avatar' Reviewed On MTV Movies Blog
12 December 2009 | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
24 hours have passed since I caught "Avatar" in London. And I suppose it's sunk in enough for what I'd call a still instinctual/gut review.
In a nutshell? This is the one you've been waiting for. Not since "The Dark Knight" has a Hollywood film been poised to take hold of popular culture like this one. Let the haters have at it. History will be kind. The dialogue may be trite at times. The cynic in you may urge you to roll your eyes at the sight of a blue alien or a snarling company man but then you're just going to miss out on the jaw-dropping adventure of the year.
So if you haven't bailed out yet... know this: you need to see this movie. For the first truly soulful performances made since motion capture was invented. For the sweep and the scope. For the small moments and the sublime. »

'UFO' to Become a Trilogy
11 December 2009 9:15 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Back on November 23 we reported that Fringe star Joshua Jackson was set to star in an adaptation of UK television producer Gerry Anderson's 1970 live action series, UFO. Jackson would star as Col. Paul Foster, played by Michael Billington in the original series. Today we're learning from the website Forbidden Planet that Heroes star Ali Larter is being sought to take on the role of Col. Virginia Lake, who was played in the original series by actress Wanda Ventham.
In a new interview with Forbidden Planet, the adaptation's director, Matthew Gratzner, discusses the new film in some detail, and also talks about his desire to see Larter — who is currently the frontrunner for the role — in the project.
"We've talked to Ali Larter, who's very interested," he said. "I've actually met with her, and I think she would be a great addition to the picture. Lake is very strong and obviously also very feminine, »
15 Semifinalists Announced for Visual Effects Oscar
11 December 2009 8:51 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
More Oscar shortlisting, this time the Visual Effects category. Last year, most of the fanboys wanted The Dark Knight to win, even though it's apparent upon repeat viewings that the best effect in that movie is Heath Ledger. The award went to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and rightly so. The movie is in essence one continuous effects shot. Much, much better and more necessary work than in The Dark Knight (check out our interview with winning VFX designer Eric Barba from Oscar week).
This year, the favorite has to be Avatar. In fact, even though I haven't seen it yet, I'm fairly certain the accomplishments of James Cameron and his team dwarf many of their competitors in the 15-film Academy contenders. These aren't the nominees, although five of them will be. This is the list of semi-finalists from which the visual effects community will pick the final five. »

Can 'Avatar' defeat the Oscar curse against fantasy films?
11 December 2009 7:30 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
Battle scenes in "Avatar" are spectacular and thrilling, but the movie's greatest fight lies ahead, off-screen – at the Academy Awards. James Cameron's fantasy is as terrific as we Oscarologists had hoped it would be and it will surely break into the best picture race, but "Avatar" will probably trip up in the home stretch. Last year's critically cheered blockbuster — "The Dark Knight" — didn't even get nominated for best picture. But now there are 10 slots in a weak year, so "Avatar" can't be denied its due place on the derby track. But Oscar voters are stubborn, narrow-minded graybeards. Computer-generated fantasy films, however amazing, aren't "important" in their eyes. Voters like their best... »

Sr Pick [Video]: 50 Movie Trailers In One
11 December 2009 4:37 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
For some, myself included, movie trailers are part of the movie-going experience. The commercials that precede them are the annoying things, but the trailers (as long as there’s not too many) add to the enjoyment of going to the movies. Of course, following daily movie news means we see trailers online before we do in theaters, which is slightly less affective in my eyes but nonetheless, a well made trailer can essentially decide whether someone will see a movie or not.
For the most part, the best movie in the world isn’t going to get butts in seats if it has a horrible trailer…
Sometimes they can be subtle yet still stay in your mind afterwards (the Little Children trailer comes straight to mind), and sometimes they can be bold and in-your-face, acting as an all-out assault on the senses to make as much of an impression as »
