Film Peek - November 2007

KNIGHT RIDER THE MOVIE

November 30th 2007 15:40
knight rider 2010
Knight Rider is one of the shows I just couldn't miss, together with A-Team and some I already forgot.

Therefore, I can honestly say I like the idea of a Knight Rider movie, but am afraid at the same time it'll be ruined. The movie will mostly concentrate on Michael Knight's son, who never got to know his father, but takes over the super car KITT.


A better KITT though. As you can see above it's not the classic version, but rather a 550 HP Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang. I just drooled.

Anyway, Justin Bruening will play Knight's son and a 2008 release is aimed. The movie will air at NBC, so it seems it won't be big cinema stuff, which is cool and might keep the old spirit.

FIRST PICTURE OF MADAGASCAR 2

November 26th 2007 09:15
madagascar 2
Madagascar was a surprisingly good movie. I didn't expect much since the animation seemed somewhat cheap with all Pixar movies etc, but it really worked.

Next year it's time for Madagascar 2: The Crate Escape, and we already have a first picture from it as you can see above. Looks hilarious, and this time I believe and expect more.

WANNA BE IN HARRY POTTER 6?

November 26th 2007 09:07
harry potter 6
MSN has a contest up and running, where the winner gets a part in the upcoming Harry Potter film. All you have to do is answer who played Dolores Umbridge. Which basically means there's no way in hell you'll win, but...

Also, the fineprint says that ultimately you might not be in the film anyway, but at least on set in a scene or so and experience the whole thing.

The Winner will participate in the Walk On Prize as an extra in a crowd scene which may or may not be a silent scene. There is neither a guarantee that the Winner will be able to distinguish himself/herself in the film footage, nor that he/she will be featured in the final cut of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film which is always subject to creative approvals and the Director’s final say. There is no guarantee that the Winner will meet or see Talent as part of the Walk On Prize.

To enter, head over here.

NINJA ON HOW TO WIN THE WRITER'S STRIKE

November 26th 2007 08:57
Haven't really talked about the Writer's Strike that's currently going on in Hollywood, but basically no writers are writing, at all, right now. They want higher residuals and DVD/Web money, and personally I think that's only fair. Question is if a strike is the way to go, but I'll leave it a question.

Since it's already happening though, it needs to be solved. And like every problem, a ninja can solve it in the wisest way. Sometimes in the gayest too. Like this one, on how to handle the current writer's strike

HEAR JOHNNY DEPP SING IN SWEENEY TODD

November 22nd 2007 16:18
Sweeney Todd depp
Although there have been previews with small peeks on Depp singing, here's a clip with some more of it.

Personally I feel it's the usual musical style, talk-singing, but Johnny Depp does it well and the song sounds great too. Look forward to see his overall performance in Sweeney Todd around Christmas

DEPP'S NEW FILM POSTPONED

November 21st 2007 09:55
SHANTARAM POSTPONED

Johnny Depp was due to appear in the Mira Nair-directed Shantaram, an adaptation of Gregory David Roberts novel, but it has just been reported that it has been postponed because of Hollywood's writer's strike. What a pity as this was a project that I was interested in seeing.

NEXT BOND 22 VILLAIN?

November 19th 2007 12:16
Mathieu Almaric
Sometimes the casting is quite exiting, especially when it's about such legendary characters as the Bond villains. They're always the meanest and still the smartest ones.

Casino Royale had the Scandinavian Mads Mikkelsen in the role, and he was alright if you ask me. Now for the next installment, Bond 22, it's kinda revealed that Mathieu Amalric is already signed as the villain

TIM BURTON TO MAKE A 3D VERSION OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Well, I’m intrigued by the sounds of this remake. It sounds unique. Tim Burton has just signed a contract with the Walt Disney Company to direct and produce a 3-D film version of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.

HORTON HEARS A WHO - PICTURES

November 14th 2007 17:07
horton hears a who
When the company behind Ice Age, 20th Century Fox, is working on a new project there's no doubt expectations are high. And when you have Jim Carrey as the voice of the main character it can only get better.

Horton Hears a Who is based on the children's book by Dr. Seuss, which mostly the older ones probably recognize

Weary Tom

Is it mean to say that when I read an article saying that Tom Cruise is suffering from exhaustion I felt little empathy? Apparently, the main problem is a lack of sleep.

ALIENS VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM - POSTER

November 8th 2007 13:37
It seems from the comments on the trailer posted few weeks ago, people really want Aliens vs Predator - Requiem. And it's perfectly understandable since it looks groovy and better than its predecessor.

The poster is alright, only showing Predator, but I guess Alien is hiding somewhere for the perfect moment to pop out and inside

IRON MAN - TRAILER NR. 2

November 5th 2007 15:50
Ironman
There's already an amazing trailer of Iron Man out there, but this got released today as well. It shows some of what we've already seen, but concentrates more on Tony Stark in the suit, with less backstory.

An interesting on set footage clip can be seen here. Guess I'm not the only one hyped to see this

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS - TRAILER

November 5th 2007 15:40
alvin and chipmunks
Alvin and the Chipmunks is a classic, at least in its original form as a cartoon. Now it's of course becoming a movie, the kind that is destined to fail.

At least it feels that way, since a) the current young generation don't recognize it, b) it's not considered cool anymore and c) these films usually do better in DVD

AUGUST RUSH - POSTER

November 5th 2007 15:26
There have been mixed reviews about August Rush, the movie about an orphan musician. In summary I guess you could say the pictures are wonderful and very imaginative, but even though the story is strong, it can be experienced as somewhat predictive and cliché.

The trailer of August Rush looked promising though, and the poster is kinda cute as well

NE lE DIS A PERSONNE - TELL NO ONE

This film, Ne le dis à personne (Tell no-one) instantly appeals to me. I hadn’t heard of it before reading a synopsis about it on the weekend, so it led me to do some research on it. I liked what I read, then decided to write a post on it.

JUMPER - TRAILER AND POSTER

November 3rd 2007 17:33
Jumper poster
Not much has been said around here about adventure/sci-fi movie Jumper, but here's a good reason to do so. The new poster is very attractive and gathers interest. I'm a big fan of good adventures that unfortunately don't get released very often due to their budget.

So, since you now have seen the poster to Jumper, it's time for the trailer. The trailer is complex, you don't understand what really goes on, but that's the point. It's one of those movies you can't afford to get distracted or you'll miss important story-information

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is in talks, and almost certain, for the role as Black Adam in the Captain Marvel movie Shazam!

Shazam! is currently written by great screenwriter John August and will be directed by Peter Segal. Hopefully Segal will be able make this good and with a touch of seriousness, since he's mostly experienced with comedies (Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, Anger Management
