It's time to cancel the Apocalypse as Warner Bros. releases the first full trailer for Guillermo del Toro's love letter to Japanese kaiju cinema, Pacific Rim. Check it out after the official synopsis...
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes--a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)--who are teamed to drive a legendary but »

Cannes, France — Before "Fruitvale Station," Michael B. Jordan was glimpsed sporadically in supporting roles on TV shows like "The Wire" and "Friday Night Lights," and in films like "Chronicle" and "Red Tails."
That changes emphatically with "Fruitvale Station," a Sundance hit that premiered Thursday night at the Cannes Film Festival. In the film, he plays Oscar Grant, the 22-year-old victim of the infamous 2009 police shooting on the Oakland, Calif., transit system.
To humanize Grant, first-time filmmaker Ryan Coogler fashioned the movie around his last day: Jordan hardly leaves the frame.
"When I first saw it, I was like, `Man, can we cut to something else? I'm tired of looking at myself right now,'" Jordan said in an interview by the beach off the Croisette. "That's when it really sunk in that this is sink or swim. Sink or swim. Hope I'm swimming."

There is an unwritten law in the black community: support black projects in the arts, especially film and television ventures. The thinking is if we don’t support them then it will be that much harder to get another project made with black stories as the draw.
It’s hard as shit to get a black project green lit in Hollywood unless your last name is Perry. I’ve seen one Tyler Perry film and have no desire to see any others. It’s just not my thing. Nothing but respect for the man and his work but it’s just not for me. His films are the thing for an awful lot of black people and that is the audience he and his partners at Lion’s Gate pursue.
Now, a film like Red Tails was my thing. I’m a sucker for anything WWII and the story of »

He may share one of the most famous names in pop culture, but Michael B. Jordan is well on his way to making a name for himself, thanks to critically acclaimed efforts like the Sundance Film Festival favorite "Fruitvale Station."
And thanks to Yahoo! Movies, we have the first trailer for it right here.
Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at this year's Sundance Festival, "Fruitvale Station" stars Jordan in the true story of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old Oakland man who was shot to death by police in 2009, sparking outrage and a national debate over police brutality.
The film has been generating major buzz, not just on the festival circuit but also among early Oscar watchers, thanks mostly to Jordan's breakout performance. If you can call it breakout, of course, considering he's already turned in breakout performances in "Chronicle," "Red Tails" and "Friday Night Lights. »

After making his feature film debut with the low-budget super-powers hit Chronicle, director Josh Trank is now turning his attention to Marvel's First Family for 20th Century Fox's The Fantastic Four. According to The Wrap, the reboot could see Trank reuniting with Chronicle star Michael B. Jordan, who has apparently met with the studio several times about taking on the role of Johnny Storm, a.k.a. the Human Torch.
First breaking on to the scene via the small screen in The Wire and Friday Night Lights, Jordan has enjoyed a number of feature film roles lately, including Red Tails, Chronicle and the upcoming indie drama Fruitvale Station. He is also due to lend his voice to the DC Comics superhero Cyborg in Warner Bros.' upcoming animated movie Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox.

Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot is slated to hit theatres in 2015, so casting is likely going to fall into place very soon. The latest actor rumoured to be up for a role in the film is Chronicle star Michael B. Jordan, who may play Johnny Storm.
Considering Trank was able to land this gig largely based on his success with Chronicle, it makes sense that he’d want to work with some of those actors again. Dane DeHaan is busy hanging around with Peter Parker right now, so Jordan is a logical choice.
I actually think that Jordan would be a really solid fit for the role. Chris Evans wasn’t horrible, but his move to playing Captain America was definitely a good call, both for Evans’ career and for the character. Jordan, whose career began with roles on Friday Night Lights and The Wire, has been doing quite well with features recently. »

According to The Wrap, Michael B. Jordan (Chronicle, House, Red Tails) is in talks to play the Human Torch in Josh Trank's upcoming reboot of the franchise, The Fantastic Four. While 20th Century Fox has declined to comment on this news, "numerous individuals" close to the production have reportedly told the site that the actor has had multiple meetings with the studio and has a good relationship with the director after their work together on Chronicle. His chances now depend on whether or not he has chemistry with the other young actors who are in contention for the movie. Of course, this sheds doubt on the recent reports that Alison Williams has been courted to play The Invisible Woman as it wouldn't make an awful lot of sense if she and Jordan played brother and sister! Regardless, Jordan is a fantastic actor, although it's possible that this decision may »

Joseph KosinskiFor his sophomore effort filmmaker Joseph Kosinski shifted from an established franchise to an original project which he wrote as a 12 page story five years before directing Tron: Legacy (2010). “I have seen a lot of concept art which was derived from that but not the novel itself,” states Bjørn Mayer (The Hunger Games) who collaborated with Eric Barba (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) to orchestrate the visual effects for Oblivion (2013). There is a booklet from Comic-Con three years ago and there are a lot of pictures.” The science fiction thriller which revolves around security repairman Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) who discovers that he is not as alone as previously thought on »

Ah, the joys of live television - despite skipping 42 (and having told the producers as much earlier in the week) was thrown a curveball without preparation to talk about the Jackie Robinson film that's dominated this weekend's box office. Bonus: Got to talk again about the misguided but still charming Red Tails.While I've not yet seen it, I do feel that more often than not a proper documentary does a much better job for me than a fiction film in telling a sports story - sure, there are a few exceptions, but even the likes of Ken Burn's epic PBS doc on baseball holds more interest for me than does this latest film, even if IndyHan Solo is looking particularly over-the-top in this one....

The Jackie Robinson biopic 42 made history this weekend, scoring the all-time highest domestic opening for a baseball movie. From 3,003 locations, the film earned an estimated $27.2 million, or $7.5 million more than 2006’s Benchwarmers, the former genre title-holder. In second place, Scary Movie 5 earned $15.1 million from 3,402 runs, or just 37% of what Scary Movie 4 took in on this same weekend seven years ago. Title Weekend Total 1. 42 $27,250,000 $27.2 2. Scary Movie 5 $15,153,000 $15.1 3. The Croods $13,200,000 $142.5 4. G.I. Joe: Retaliation $10,800,000 $102.4 5. Evil Dead (2013) $9,500,000 $41.5 6. Jurassic Park 3D $8,820,000 $31.9 7. Olympus Has Fallen $7,283,000 $81.8 8. Oz the Great & Powerful $4,923,000 $219.4 9. Tyler Perry’s Temptation $4,500,000 $45.4 10. The Place Beyond the Pines $4,079,000 $5.4 If asked one week ago to rate the odds that 42 would score the highest debut ever for a baseball-themed feature, I would have laughed. And then I would have asked you what ‘42’ was. That’s because, until marketing for the film finally kicked in over the past few days, the biography of baseball legend Jackie Robinson had almost no visibility. »
