Timecop set for reboot treatment
22 May 2013 10:37 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
News Simon Brew 23 May 2013 - 06:35
Timecop is heading back to the big screen, without Jean-Claude Van Damme's involvement...
Before The Expendables 2 and Kung Fu Panda 2 came along, the highest grossing film of Jean-Claude Van Damme's career at the Us box office was Timecop. Comfortably one of his best movies, Timecop was originally based on a story published by Dark Horse Comics, and The Hollywood Reporter has now broken the news that a fresh take on the material is in the works.
The project is in the early stages, and thus far there's no writer attached to the film. It's being produced by Marc Shmuger and Tom McNulty, though. It's also already clear that Jean-Claude Van Damme is not involved in the project. Whether they eventually sneak in a cameo for him if this one makes it to fruition remains to be seen.

Summer 2013 Forecast (cont.)
26 April 2013 3:35 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
<< Continued from #1-1112. World War Z (June 21): With the success of AMC's The Walking Dead and February's Warm Bodies ($66.2 million), it's safe to say that zombies are very popular right now. World War Z is the first big-budget aspiring blockbuster featuring the creatures, though casual audiences may have a tough time associating the movie's fast-moving swarms of CGI zombies with the slow-moving ones they are used to. With star Brad Pitt and what's sure to be a hefty marketing effort from Paramount, World War Z will likely do fine, but opening right after Man of Steel is going to keep this down. (Domestic: $135 million, Foreign: $285 million)13. Epic (May 24): Action-oriented animated movies (as opposed to comedic ones) aren't historically all that successful, and Epic's story calls to mind notorious animated bomb The Ant Bully ($28.1 million). Still, from a scheduling perspective, Epic is in great shape: Memorial Day weekend »

How Roger Ebert Influenced This Writer’s Life
10 April 2013 9:12 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Let us all give a solemn but heartfelt two-thumbs up for one of the greatest and most influential careers in critical film thinking. (But please be careful Gene and Roger have it trademarked, can’t escape royalties anywhere these days…)
On April 4th, 2013 legendary writer/journalist/critic/Chicagoan/film-nut Roger Ebert passed away quietly and peacefully. As the disheartening news trickled into the media ether, the true impact of the loss could start to be felt. In the coming days and weeks epitaphs, stories and accolades will be passed around by the people he helped inspired, warmly and graciously, about this most humble and deserving of a man. It would be an honor of great prestige to be one of the first to start that trend here.
I feel that this was the time to get back to writing. I haven’t written an article or review in months for »

Cranston, Mikkelsen & Rebel Wilson Get Ready for 'Kung Fu Panda 3'
10 April 2013 7:36 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
It's been two years since the release of Kung Fu Panda 2, but fans eager to see Kung Fu Panda 3 will still have to wait a couple years for the next installment since it's not hitting theaters until late 2015. But the good news is that some great new voice actors are joining cast members Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross Jackie Chan and Dustin Hoffman. Heat Vision has word that "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston, Casino Royale villain Mads Mikkelsen and Pitch Perfect scene stealer Rebel Wilson all have roles in the sequel from DreamWorks Animation, but there's no details yet. As the end of the second film seemed to indicate (spoiler alert if you have seen it yet), the sequel will likely follow Po (Black) as he learns more about his past and his father who is still alive, living with a whole community of other pandas. »

'Kung Fu Panda 3' Not Only Exists, But Rebel Wilson Is In It
10 April 2013 7:27 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Hey guys, remember "Kung Fu Panda"? It seems like an eternity ago, but it's actually only been two years since "Kung Fu Panda 2" hit theaters. But even though it made a pretty tidy sum at the box office ($165.2 million domestically, thank you), the movie more or less vanished from public consciousness, getting lost somewhere between the fourth "Ice Age" and the third "Madagascar." They all kind of blend together after awhile, right?
Well, that's about to change, as according to Variety, DreamWorks Animation has decided to make sure "Kung Fu Panda 3" is the most memorable entry in the franchise yet by signing on a star you can't possibly forget or overlook: Rebel Wilson.
Wilson isn't the only big name joining the cast of "Kung Fu Panda 3," which is scheduled to arrive in theaters on December 23, 2015. Besides returning stars Jack Black and Angelina Jolie, "Kung Fu Panda" has »

Bryan Cranston, China-based DreamWorks & Others Join ‘Kung Fu Panda 3′
9 April 2013 10:35 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
The Hollywood Reporter says that Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) and Rebel Wilson (Pain & Gain) are joining Jack Black, Lucy Liu, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen and others for Kung Fu Panda 3!
The only known plot details are that it “follows Po, the chosen one, as he continues on his journey mastering the art of Kung Fu … and noodle slurping.” This is according to DreamWorks Animation.
The first Kung Fu Panda made $631 million worldwide against a budget of $130 million. Kung Fu Panda 2 made $665 million worldwide against a budget of $150 million. It’s worth noting that the second film made less domestically (about $50 million less) which meant a heavier reliance on foreign box offices.
The biggest foreign box office return for the second film was China. Whereas China accounted for only $26 million for the first Kung Fu Panda, the country accounted for $92 million for the second Kung Fu Panda. »

Kung Fu Panda Director Boards Noah's Ark
22 March 2013 5:59 AM, PDT | kidspickflicks | See recent kidspickflicks news »
The Bible is getting animated. Noah's Ark will tell the Musical story of the animals who are saved by a giant flood from the point of view of a meerkat. Yes, it's a musical, which sounds weird until you realize The Lion King is a musical. In fact, a guy who has written his share of animated musicals Philip Lazebnik, is writing this story as well - he also wrote Mulan, Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt (which was about Moses). Sharing the director's chair (which is common in animated movies) are John Stevenson, the director of Kung Fu Panda, and Cameron Hood, who was an animator on Prince of Egypt as well as Kung Fu Panda 2 and How to Train Your Dragon.
What's notable is that there is a big epic Oscar-y live-action movie about Noah's Ark being made right now, too, starring Russell Crowe as Noah and »

What does the future hold for DreamWorks Animation?
22 March 2013 3:14 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Mark Harrison 25 Mar 2013 - 07:09
The Croods is the latest feature from DreamWorks Animation. But what does the future hold for the studio? Mark takes a look...
Arch your left eyebrow, for a moment. Good. Now, tilt your head to the side. I'll leave the smile up to you, but you must either smirk or give a big cheesy grin. You're now on your way to looking a lot like the DreamWorks Face, the expression that used to appear in pretty much every DreamWorks Animation film, usually on a talking animal of some description.
The thing is, in the past, all of DreamWorks' movies were comedies. It's since the studio has branched out into other genres, while retaining their sense of humour, that we've started sitting up and taking notice again.
For a while there, it looked like DreamWorks Animation had turned into the very corporate machine that it set out to lampoon: Disney. »

Bernie (review)

Sometimes fiction is more true than truth. And then there are those stories that can only work because they are true, because whatever unsettling human realities they have to share would be difficult to take in a fictional story: you simply couldn’t set up an invented tale that takes the same twists and turns and be plausible at the same time. But when it all really happened, who are we to argue with reality? We can only shake our heads at it, and how human beings actual behave in their natural environments. This is true. In rural east Texas in the 1990s, assistant funeral director Bernie Tiede was the most beloved man in the town of Carthage. All the “dear little old ladies” had crushes on him, we learn. “Bernie was a very loving man, a charismatic person.” We hear these things via documentary-style talking-head interviews that open the film, »
