Discussing Film, Music, TV, Books, Video Games and More
So obviously Lauren and I (Check out our reviews first; Lauren’s and Zac’s) think Inception is a pretty swell movie. Lauren has picked it as her best picture favorite and it seems to be a lock Top 5 for me as well. But we both agree that the final shot of the film is easily the biggest flaw of the film and kind of B.S.
Either way, we discuss it in depth below and feel free to let us know if you agree.
And Obviously: Spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t usually like to post something till it is a lock but Deadline New York seems pretty sure of this story and it is great news for everyone if this hiring goes all the way through till the shoot and till release day.
For those unfamiliar with Whedon he has created such cult TV classics like Firefly (and its awesome feature sequel Serenity), Dollhouse, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was a writer on Toy Story, created Dr. Horrible’s Sing a Long Blog, and has written a bevy of comics for Marvel and his established properties.
The Avengers should feature Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor(Chris Hemsworth), and even more superheroes from the Marvel Universe/Films. Ed Norton as The Hulk is a maybe to appear, long rumored to be the villian of the film possibly, but don’t guarantee any casting until they are on set for who knows what could happen.
Head to Deadline for the full story.
David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen will be teaming up for a fourth time it seems, after their upcoming Sigmund Freud biopic shooting this year, and it will be for a sequel I am dying for, Eastern Promises 2. If you haven’t seen the first film stop reading, go out and see it, and come back and read this.
The film sets up perfectly, as you just saw when you watched the film, for a sequel and I can not wait to see how this story unfolds. The original is a crime classic and Viggo and Cronenberg are on fire when they have worked together. I hope the Freud film, The Talking Cure, lives up to Eastern Promises and A History of Violence and that no hitches show up and derail this film.
Deadline is reporting that Steve Knight’s script is finished and that Viggo and Mortensen are locked in, obviously, as well. This has rocketed to the top of my most anticipated films list. Check out the full story here.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MTV says so, well actually Edgar Wright tells MTV so, and for fans of the books that might be a tad disappointing if not for all the raves coming out of the two test screenings that have been done over the last couple months.
The latest from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, can’t wait! Top 10 most anticipated of the year even though they say it is 20/80, comedy/drama. Just looking forward to seeing what these two brilliant writers have cooked up next. Damn Brits get this in April!
Anyways, here is the poster and the trailer is after the jump.
