Trailer for Walking With Dinosaurs 3D Animated Adventure
1 May 2013 12:55 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's the first international trailer for 20th Century Fox's CGI animated adventure Walking With Dinosaurs. They've made a realistic looking movie that tells its story with no dialogue and limited narrative. The movie doesn't interest me at all, but maybe there's some kids out there who will enjoy it. The movie was directed by Barry Cook (Arthur Christmas, Mulan) and Neil Nightingale, and the story follows two brothers looking to follow in their father's footsteps which leads to a showdown with dinosaurs in the Arctic North.
For the first time in movie history, audiences will truly see and feel what it was like when dinosaurs ruled the Earth. "Walking with Dinosaurs" is the ultimate immersive experience, utilizing state of the art 3D to put audiences in the middle of a thrilling and epic prehistoric world, where an underdog dino triumphs to become a hero for the ages.
The movie comes out on December 20th, »

'Walking with Dinosaurs' Trailer Stays Real with No Talking Creatures
1 May 2013 7:48 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
What started as an arena show is now coming to the big screen in 20th Century Fox's Walking with Dinosaurs 3D. In what feels like a hybrid narrative and documentary feature with breathtaking visuals, the film chronicles the lives of two young dinosaurs as they grow up, hoping to follow in their father's footsteps, and become respected creatures of the prehistoric wild. These dinosaurs don't talk, but it's clear there's some cutesy kind of humor and liberties taken with the dinosaurs. And while the animation isn't terrible, it doesn't always look like it's top notch work. Still, this could be cool to see in theaters. Watch! First trailer for Barry Cook & Neil Nightingale's Walking with Dinosaurs 3D, originally from MSN UK: Walking with Dinosaurs 3D is directed by Barry Cook (Arthur Christmas) and Neil Nightingale (Enchanted Kingdom 3D) and written by John Collee (Happy Feet) and Theodore Thomas (Walt & El Grupo).

Aardman Animations developing a Shaun the Sheep movie
30 April 2013 9:10 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Aardman Animations has announced that it is to bring one of its most beloved characters to the big screen, partnering up with StudioCanal to produce the movie debut of Shaun the Sheep.
First seen in the Oscar-winning Wallace & Gromit short A Close Shave, Shaun the Sheep made the jump to television in 2007, and is currently headlining his third series on Cbcc. The feature film will be shot in Aardman's trademark stop motion stule, with Richard Starzak and Mark Burton writing and directing.
The official synopsis reads: "When Shaun’s mischief inadvertently leads to the Farmer being taken away from the farm, Shaun, Bitzer and the flock have to go into the big city to rescue him, setting the stage for an epic adventure."
"Shaun and his friends have a massive global following and we very excited about being able to put them into a bigger adventure for the big screen, »

Aardman Animations teams ups with French broadcasting giant StudioCanal to give Nick Park's creation his own movie
Shaun the Sheep, the animated character created by Wallace and Gromit's Nick Park, is to get his own movie, it was announced today.
Shaun first appeared in A Close Shave, the third Wallace and Gromit film from 1995 that went on to win the Oscar for best animated short. He then became the central character in a Cbbc TV series that was first broadcast in 2007. The film's plot is described as an "epic adventure" in which "Shaun, Bitzer and the flock have to go to the big city to rescue [the Farmer]".
The UK's Aardman Animations, which has created all the Wallace and Gromit films as well as more recent work such as Arthur Christmas and The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, is teaming up with the French-owned powerhouse StudioCanal to make the film. »

Aardman Animations Turning Shaun The Sheep Into A Feature Film
25 April 2013 11:38 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
When it comes to ranking animation studios, Aardman Animations is a close second to Pixar. The time and care that go into each one of their projects is almost unheard of in any profession, much less filmmaking. Even their less successful ventures, such as the CGI rat romance that was Flushed Away, are still packed with laughs and imagination. I can think of no recent Christmas animation worth a rewatch more than Arthur Christmas. The Aardman property probably least accessible to their adult audience is their Shaun the Sheep series, which is no less interesting or silly, than say, Pirates! Band of Misfits, but the toons are completely dialogue-free, and rely on a ton of visual gags and madcap action to tell the stories - like a modernized Tom and Jerry in some ways.

StudioCanal and Aardman to Sell Animated Feature 'Shaun the Sheep' at Cannes Market
25 April 2013 10:53 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Europe's largest production company StudioCanal is teaming with UK-based Aardman Animations to develop the British animated kids' series "Shaun the Sheep," about an unusually intelligent farm animal, for the big screen. They plan to sell the film to buyers at the Cannes market this year. The character Shaun the sheep made his theatrical debut in 1996's Oscar winner for Best Animated Short, "A Close Shave," also produced by Aardman. "Shaun the Sheep," which premiered in the UK in 2007 and kicked off its third season in February, is a stop-motion animated series geared toward younger viewers, but the crossover appeal of other Aardman productions such as "Wallace and Gromit" could make "Shaun the Sheep" a family hit. Aarman Animations has seen great box office success domestically, as in "Arthur Christmas" (2011) and feathered frenzy "Chicken Run" (2000). Studiocanal will finance "Shaun the Sheep" and distribute throughout Europe, Australia and New Zealand. »

James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff are Britain's new golden acting couple, tackling everything from classical theatres to action movies. But they are reluctant stars who are happy to live out of the limelight
Standards have been set when it comes to golden couples of stage and screen. Half a century ago, when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton met on the set of Cleopatra, then the most expensive movie ever made, the powerful personal chemistry was immediately clear. In consequence, the love of the two British-born stars is now almost as fabled as the story of Antony and Cleopatra itself.
Since the 1960s there have been occasional challenges, one from Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson, perhaps, for the title of Britain's premiere theatrical partners. But quietly, even reluctantly, since they do not desire it, a talented new pairing has staked a claim: Anne-Marie Duff and her husband James McAvoy.

2 New Clips from Welcome to the Punch with James McAvoy & Mark Strong
5 March 2013 2:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
James McAvoy returns to the big screen in two anticipated films this month, and we’re looking forward to his return in both. First up is Eren Creevy’s Welcome to the Punch, and then he’s following it up with Danny Boyle’s Trance.
It’s been too long since we last saw him – in person, in X-Men: First Class; and in voice, Arthur Christmas – and so two films in one month, with a handful more coming this year, is definitely a good thing in our books.
McAvoy is joined by the great Mark Strong here for Welcome to the Punch. We caught the first trailer at the end of last year. And all that we’ve seen since suggests it’s a must-see this month. With the film coming out next Friday in the UK, two new clips have surfaced, giving us a taste of what to expect. »

Who Could Be About To Fly In ‘The Crow’ Remake?
25 February 2013 8:18 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Previously a project set to star Bradley Cooper as re-animated and revenge-seeking rocker, Eric Draven, with Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directing, Relativity Media’s remake of modern gothic classic, The Crow, has stuttered to get off the ground. A year ago we brought you news a new director and writer was now onboard, yet, we’ve heard little else in terms of the progress.
While it’s going to be a struggle for any actor to step into the boots of the now late and mythic-like, Brandon Lee, it appears we may have news of a talented actor currently eying the role.
Strong sources claim James McAvoy, currently shooting Bryan Singer’s mutant sequel, X-men: Days Of Future Past, and will next be seen in Danny Boyle’s heist thriller Trance, is looking at taking the lead. McAvoy’s steadily risen up the Hollywood ladder since his breakout role in Brit TV hit, »

Watch: James McAvoy & Andrea Riseborough Make A Proposal In Clip From 'Welcome To The Punch'
19 February 2013 5:56 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It’s not as though James McAvoy has been gone very long, but his absence, albeit brief, from top-tier dramatic roles ("Arthur Christmas" notwithstanding) has been a difficult time for all of us. The good news, however, is that he’s back in our lives with a couple new movies arriving within the span of a few weeks, in Danny Boyle's "Trance" and "Welcome To The Punch." And a new clip for the latter British thriller, directed by Eran Creevy, has now landed. The bad news, for those who like their accents plausible, is that a questionable cockney number seems to have been traded for McAvoy’s beloved Scottish tones. The teaser material, which cuts right into an impenetrable bit of dialogue so far from spoiler territory that it really isn’t clear what on earth they’re talking about, has been aired this week in anticipation of release in the U. »

Tomorrowland Villain Role Possibly Going to Hugh Laurie
13 February 2013 10:58 AM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
Hugh Laurie is reportedly in discussions per THR to co-star in the upcoming Brad Bird film Tomorrowland as the film's antagonist alongside the film's already cast protagonist, George Clooney. If the villain requires a limp then Laurie has plenty of experience to offer (re: House M.D.).
Tomorrowland is the new name for the Damon Lindeof and Entertainment Weekly writer and Lost theorist Jeff Jensen story that was formerly known as 1952. The new name offers a direct connection to the Tomorrowland attraction at Disneyland and Disney World, amongst other Disney parks. The first Tomorrowland themed land opened on July 17, 1955, only three years after the original film's title.
The only rumored plot detail from Tomorrowland suggests the story revolves around a man (Clooney) searching for extraterrestrial life on earth. It was compared to being in the vein of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Like Lindelof's Prometheus before it, Tomorrowland is gaining »
What Are Oscar’s Likes And Dislikes In The Best Animated Feature Category?

It’s common belief that the Academy Awards are steeped in tradition, but that distinction doesn’t apply to all Oscars categories. There are some exceptions, the most notable of which is in regard to animation. The Best Animated Feature category is among the newest at the Oscars, having been added just at the 74th Academy Awards ceremony.
With this being only the 12th year in which a Best Animated Feature is being crowned, I thought it was about time to see if there’s a formula that Oscar hopefuls should follow in order to maximize their chances of being nominated. Over the years a blueprint has emerged, even if it’s not an altogether clear one at this point. There are storylines, themes and trends that successful nominees take heed of when campaigning for a citation by the Academy, and the devil in the »
