Set Visit: Battle of the Year with Josh Holloway

We visit the Battle of the Year set in Whittier, California to speak with the cast and crew
Director Benson Lee's 2008 documentary Planet B-Boy proved that the art form of breakdancing is still alive and well today, decades after the popular dance craze started in the 1980s. The filmmaker returns to put a narrative spin on B-boying in the upcoming drama Battle of the Year, arriving in theaters September 13. Back in December 2011, I was invited to spend a day at the Whittier, California set to speak with the cast and crew of this dance-fueled drama. In case you missed it, clickHere to watch the second trailer that debuted last week.
During most movie set visits I attend, we spend the day watching scenes being shot and interviewing actors, writers, directors, producers, or whoever else is available. Due to some unfortunate scheduling complications, we didn't get to see a lot of shooting, »

It's Over For Kellan Lutz And Girlfriend
10 May 2013 6:37 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's over for Kellan Lutz and Sharni Vinson. Us Weekly reports that the "Twilight" star, 28, called it quits with the Australian actress, 29, earlier this month after dating for about a year and a half.
The former couple appeared in better spirits in December, when they were photographed gallivanting and showing very public displays of affection on the beach in Sydney, Australia. In August, Lutz told People magazine that he had matured through his relationship with the "Step Up 3D" actress.
"I've become more mature when it comes to women and relationships," he said. "My M.O. now is to be who I really am and not be fake in order for a girl to like me back ... Sharni's personality and mine very much complement each other, and we connect on every level."
HuffPost Celebrity has reached out to Lutz's publicist for comment. »

Kellan Lutz is single for the summer! The hunky Twilight star broke up with Australian actress Sharni Vinson in early May, several sources confirm to Us Weekly. Lutz, 28, and Vinson, 29, were first linked in September 2011. Ironically, the former couple met during a chemistry reading for Step Up 3D. Though Vinson won the role of street dancer Natalie, Lutz never appeared in the dance flick. In the early stages of their relationship, Lutz often gushed about his compatibly with Vinson.

Director Jon M. Chu on Working with Justin Bieber & Bruce Willis
5 April 2013 12:08 PM, PDT | CineMovie | See recent CineMovie news »
The director of two Step Up movies and Justin Bieber's Never Say Never may not have been the most likely recruit to direct an all-out action film like G.I. Joe Retaliation, but Jon M. Chu says action films are much more than just directing stunts and explosions which he learned from working with Justin Bieber.
The task of rebooting the G.I. Joe franchise was given to director Jon M. Chu. The original cast (except for Channing Tatum) was replaced with Dwayne Johnson as the lead Joe with help from D.J. Catrona and Adrianne Palicki, and a cameo by the resident tough guy, Bruce Willis. The Palo Alto, Ca native and USC School of Cinema-Television alumni broke into Hollywood directing Step Up 2: The Streets (2008) and Step Up 3D (2010). He then went on to helm Justin Bieber's documentary Never Say Never in 2011.

Operation Deception: The Making of G.I. Joe: Retaliation
3 April 2013 11:18 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Trevor Hogg chats with production visual effects supervisor James Madigan; visual effects supervisors Bill George, Thad Beier, Ollie Rankin, Vince Cirelli, Mark Larranaga, and Zachary Kinnery; executive visual effects supervisor Payam Shohadai, visual effects producer Steven Swanson, and digital production manager Michael Perdew about bringing a gritty realism to G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Beware there are spoilers....
Lorenzo di Bonaventura At the end of making Red (2010), producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Stardust) presented his visual effects supervisor for the cinematic adaptation with a script intended to be the sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009). “I loved it,” recalls James Madigan (Iron Man 2) who went on to have conservations with the producers and Paramount about G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013). “The first question I asked them was, ‘Being this is a franchise is the look and feel of the first Joe which made the film a bit cartoony something we’re looking »

Immersed in Movies: Stepping Up the VFX for 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation'
29 March 2013 11:55 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
After viewing the bang-bang antics of "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," it made perfect sense that Jon Chu became the director. His dance experience with "Step Up 2: The Streets" and "Step Up 3D" provided the perfect training for the choreographed action he devised for the "G.I. Joe" sequel starring newcomers Dwayne Johnson as Roadblock and Bruce Willis as the original Joe. The stealthy overthrow of Cobra after the Joes have been decimated and disgraced involves a series of escapades that are as remarkable for their balletic brilliance as their explosive firepower. And "Retaliation" required its own VFX Joes for support from Digital Domain, Industrial Light & Magic and Method Studios (under the overall supervision of James Madigan). But other than the obvious CG explosions and a brief bit of creepy morphing, the result is invisible VFX at its most proficient. Dd (supervised by Thad Beier) handled several key sequences, including an exploding motorcycle by baddie. »

Film Review: 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation'
29 March 2013 2:30 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ G.I. Joe is a franchise based upon a collection of Hasbro plastic soldiers. What can we really expect from it? Director Jon M. Chu - whose credits include Step Up 3D and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never - knows exactly what his pre-adolescent audience wants: spectacularly ridiculous histrionics; mutually implausible sci-fi elements; sardonic and inappropriate wise-cracks; a dutiful, good-looking cast to deliver them; and slack consideration for anything that may compromise these things. One of the rare occasions where a sequel is better than the original, the G.I. Joe cycle will never appeal to critics, but at least G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) never tries to.

Movie Review - G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013)
29 March 2013 2:25 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
G.I. Joe: Retaliation, 2013.
Directed by Jon M. Chu.
Starring Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Lee Byung-hun, D.J. Cotrona, Adrianne Palicki, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce, Ray Stevenson, Elodie Yung, RZA, Joseph Mazzello, Arnold Vosloo, Walton Goggins and Channing Tatum.
Synopsis:
When Cobra takes control of the Us government and orders G.I. Joe destroyed, a small team of Joes led by Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson) seek help from the original Joe, General Joseph Colton (Bruce Willis), and hatch a plan to win back the White House and defeat the evil terrorist organisation.
I was mildly entertained by the Joes' first big screen outing in 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. I wouldn't go as far as to say I enjoyed the film, but I enjoyed it as much as possible, considering that Stephen Sommers' name was on the credits. Sure I thought it had its faults, plenty of them, but in »

A 'Big, Dumb Action Movie'
27 March 2013 2:42 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
If a big, dumb action movie knows it's a big, dumb action movie and revels in that fact, is that preferable to a big, dumb action movie making the mistake of thinking it's significant, relevant art?
That's the question to ponder – if you can think straight and your ears aren't ringing too badly – during "G.I. Joe: Retaliation." This sequel of sorts to the 2009 blockbuster "G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra" seems to have some cheeky fun with itself, from Bruce Willis cheerily revealing the arsenal he's hiding in his quiet suburban home to RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan essentially showing up and playing himself. A major city is obliterated with the touch of a button and several others are in peril as the world hinges on nuclear destruction in what amounts to a hammy game of chicken.
Nothing matters really. This is a movie based on a Hasbro toy, »

G.I. Joe: Retaliation Review
27 March 2013 9:45 AM, PDT | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »
As movies based on toy lines go, 2009's G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra was pretty much a mess. An attempt to weave a rich, multi layered narrative into what was essentially a CGI heavy toy advert, it fell flat, alienating fans of the franchise, which also includes multiple popular comic and cartoon series', and fans of action films in general. A sequel was set up, but no one thought it would be acted on. But acted on it, it was, and now we have G.I. Joe: Retaliation, with director Jon M. Chu (who before this, brought us Step Up 3D and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never), replacing Stephen Sommers, stripping everything back to deliver a straight up action movie. With a massive cull of the originals cast members on screen and off, this could have easily being a reboot, but it wisely keeps one of the first movies few interesting ideas, »

'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Featurette Digs Into the Explosive 3D (Exclusive Video)

The world of 3D filmmaking is not new for director Jon M. Chu, who helmed the dance and music-themed films Step Up 3D and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. But he puts the technology to use in a very different way for upcoming action film G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Instead of choreographed dance moves and on stage performances in front of hundreds of screaming fans, Chu's latest 3D pic focuses on cliff-hanging fight scenes and explosive action.

Don't Expect To See Extra Channing Tatum In 'G.I. Joe'
27 March 2013 8:38 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Los Angeles -- G. I. Joe's second big-screen mission was just about to begin last year when Paramount suddenly called the troops back to base, delaying the release of "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" by nine months to convert it to 3-D. The move came just weeks after another movie based on a Hasbro toy, "Battleship," was torpedoed at the box office.
Fans will soon find out if it was worth the wait: "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" opens Thursday.
Though director Jon M. Chu always wanted to make the film in 3-D, learning of the delay a month before the film was set to open was initially crushing.
"It's kind of like running a marathon and you're at the last leg and you're exhausted and you're right at the finish line ... and then someone trips you and says, `Oh, that's not the line. That was just an illusion. It's actually double the time, »

G.I. Joe Retaliation Review
27 March 2013 5:10 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Jon M. Chu
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum, Adrienne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona
Running Time: 99 Minutes
Certificate: 12A
Synopsis: After the G.I. Joes are framed as traitors by Zartan, who is still impersonating the President of the United States, the Cobra Commander now has all the world leaders under Cobra’s control, with their advanced warheads aimed at innocent populaces around the world. Outnumbered and out gunned, the Joes form a plan with the original G.I. Joe General Joseph Colton to overthrow the Cobra Commander and his allies Zartan, Storm Shadow and Firefly.
In G.I Joe Retaliation, we see very few of the original cast exhibiting their fighting prowess and Channing Tatum reprises his role as camouflaged caper whereupon the Duke is deposed in no less than twenty minutes of the opening credits. I swiftly realised that Chu’s loyalty would lie with the original »

Snake Eyes and the rest of the G.I. Joe team return to the big screen this weekend in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the sequel to 2009's live-action debut for the team in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
