Future releases

Why you cheeky little Norc!

Feanor- I used to like Ray WInstone- he's the best Will Scarlett ever- but he does seem tohave been playing the same charcater basically ever since.
I just dont see th epoint to remaking something like the Sweeney- there is no way to recapture the uniqueness or the impact it had at the time- and like most modern films you know exactly what you will get before you sit down to watch it.

lol, we can make epic movies too!


edit: omg, the people who uploaded this are truly norwegian. look what the movie is called, it's supposed tu be escape.

this trailer is a bit better, not all the promotheus sounds.

I heard they were making a hobbit movie,, heres the trailer. comes out soon i think

Looks like a rip-off of LOTR. They even got an Ian McKellen doppelganger to play the wizard in a hat!

i think its a sequel eldo
i thiknk the same guy is playing the wizzard 2

what? more hobbits? they were so 2002...

I haven't been following the news on this one too close, but apparently the sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes is confirmed and they have a director (new) and writers (returning) lined up. It will continue to follow Andy Serkis' character from the first film.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - /Film

Day 1 for me.

I have high hopes of this, been good ruimblings coming from it and this seems to confirm that it will at least be a worthy remake- still not sure what the point is in remaking classic films- I always think there are so many films out there which were nearly classic but let down by some aspects- acting, directing, budget or some such that would be worth remaking- remaking something that is already considered good always seems a bit of a waste of time to me.

Very keen to see this- six stories intertwinged across space and time with actors playing multiple roles across each story -exploring actions and effects and how one person influences another. Cloud Atlas.

My faith in the Wachowski's was pretty shaken by The Matrix sequels (though I found the original to be pretty overrated) but I'm quite intrigued by Cloud Atlas. I have a feeling I'm going to either love it or be immensely disappointed even if it has some redeeming features (a la Prometheus).

I forgave them for the Matrix when they did V for Vendetta- which I think is not only their best film but one of the best most influtential films of that decade.

yes the Matrix sequels sucked big time. when is Cloud Atlas out?
Is anyone going to see the new James Bond film?

It came out in the US yesterday but according to IMDb it's not reaching most of Europe for another month (or few).

I saw Hugo Weaving in the trailor.... do we get hobbits?

Has anyone of you seen "Cloud Atlas" yet?
I am sooo mad that it is only running in America yet
I've been waiting for this film for a very long time and now I can wait for another month until it comes to my country (or to Europe anyway)

In case there havent been enough zombie apocalypses yet heres another one- World War Z.
Bit weird watching this as all the bits that are supposed to be Philadelphia were shot in Glasgow- you can see George Square! I was sick in George Sq one new year.
So was Philly built to resemble Galsgow then?

Im looking forward to lots of films at the mo, I saw a trailer for "Man of Steel" & the music along side was the music from LOTRs, Fav films are always Fantasy, Marvel Comics, Sci-Fi. "Star trek,into Darkness" is on its way !

Cant say I am looking forward to the new Star Trek film after the last one gutted St of everything it ever was.

I respect your feelings on that,Petty,your probably more of a fan of ST than I,even tho I did like the William Shat(me pants)ner series on Tv !

If theyd called it something else and changed the character and ship names I wouldnt have minded so much- they made an enjoyable, popcorn munching action adventure set in the future.
Problem is St never was meant to be that. It was the intelligent, thoughtful version of Sci-fi- is should have been full of stuff like this-



or this-




Not this-



or this-



Spot the difference?

I do actually agree that Star Trek, With Picard, IS so much better, & at least with a series I can enjoy it as often as its on TV, I can separate the JJ Abrahms films from Tv easily,(which is a lot harder to do when watching PJs LOTRs) The films are a good relaxing evening out. A fun film to add to the catalogue of films I already own, & thats all it means to me, Im not a die-hard fan of Star Trek,but I do ENJOY them.

For me it just fundementally wasnt Star Trek- the very basic building blocks of ST are absent and in fact replaced with the exact opposite. Like attempting to make a souffle- then throwing out all the ingredients and replacing them with left over bits from a Mcdonalds Happy Meal instead.
ST tries to be about something- its a means to relfect back society- this was true from the very start- episodes like this-



or this -



or this-



Its not-



or this



or even



You see my problem.

Not really. Its all good stuff.
