The first full-length theatrical trailer for The Great Gatsby has landed online, and it'll make you wonder why Baz Luhrmann is just now making a movie set during the Roaring Twenties. The art deco opulence of the period is just perfectly suited to the director's indulgent, hyper-detailed style. Add the dramatic meat of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel and a pretty incredible cast, and this adaptation could be something special.
It's been fifteen years since Men in Black first brought a cinematic version of the comic book created by Lowell Cunningham to movie theaters across the world. The film introduced audiences to an extra-governmental force tasked with covertly carrying out extraterrestrial policing on Earth, and did so with a witty comedic sensibility not as present in the source material. The result was an international success that captured the zeitgeist in 1997 and helped propel Will Smith to global stardom.
After a decade without a hint of Agents J or K since Men in Black II, the franchise has been revived with a third sequel that sees Smith and Tommy Lee Jones returning to their roles. Director Barry Sonnenfeld is also back to tell another story of the MiB organization. For the third outing, an intergalactic biker played by Jemaine Clement travels back in time to settle a score with K and pave the way for an alien invasion. With no other choice, J must journey back to 1969, teaming up with a younger K, played by Josh Brolin, to save the future.
At the Los Angeles press day for Men in Black 3, IAR Managing Editor Jami Philbrick was present to gain some insight on the latest science-fiction comedy. Stars Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and Josh Brolin were all in attendance to discuss the sequel, their roles, working with visual effects, and prominent ears in 3D.
Perhaps sensing the trepidation regarding what many potential moviegoers see as a premature rebootenizing, Sony Pictures has been happy to show off plenty of footage from The Amazing Spider-Man. Just last week, a four-minute "super-preview" debuted during America's Got Talent, in addition to different trailers and a sizzle reel screened earlier this year. Now, a selection of folks seeing Men in Black 3 will be treated to a six-minute Spidey preview.
After about seven years during which promises of an imminent Sin City sequel started making co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller seem sort of like broke dads promising their kids a rollercoaster in the backyard, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is actually happening. Or at least, it's more likely than it has ever been. Today, Dimension Films officially announced an October 2, 2013 release date for the sequel, and also confirmed that stars Mickey Rourke and Jessica Alba are committed to return.
With just over a week until the sequel's domestic release, a new Men in Black 3 featurette is here to remind us not only that the film is on the way, but that Rick Baker is now and shall forever be a master of his craft. This new behind the scenes featurette includes interview snippets with director Barry Sonnenfeld, as well as stars Will Smith, Josh Brolin, Emma Thompson, and Jemaine Clement.
As promised last week, a new "Super Preview" for The Amazing Spider-Man debuted tonight during the season premiere of America's Got Talent. "What in the hell is a super preview," you ask? Well, in this case, it's four minutes worth of footage from the 3D reboot of Marvel's webslinging hero.
There's a new theatrical trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man attached to this weekend's The Avengers, but guess what? It's already online. Like that new The Dark Knight Rises trailer, this one has preempted its theatrical debut at midnight tonight and can be viewed here and now.
The trailer kicks off with a pretty somber voiceover from Andrew Garfield as the rebooted Peter Parker, making it quite clear that his parents' disappearance is central to this new version of Spidey's psyche and his new origin story. From there, we get a pretty huge amount of new footage, including no small amount of web-slinging, Lizard-battling, skateboarding, wall-crawling, and police-evading.
A whole mess of new stills from Prometheus have landed online, and here we're offering but a sample of ten images from Ridley Scott's first science fiction film in thirty years. Amongst the stills is even one behind the scenes look at the man himself, standing next to a RED digital camera and sporting some 3D glasses, as this is also Scott's first foray into shooting 3D.
20th Century's Fox's long game with Prometheus is paying off big, as months and months of total secrecy and an absolutely stunning theatrical trailer have made audiences hungry for even the slightest morsel of new information on the Alien prequel. The latest print issue of Empire magazine contains a bunch of exclusive material, including new images that are now showing up online as scans. In addition, director Ridley Scott shares some insight on the film's rating and just what drew him back to the universe he built in 1979.
Step aside Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Sandman, Venom, and Harry Osborn on a floating snowboard, the rebooted Spider-Man has a new cinematic nemesis. Though the tarpaulin of secrecy surrounding the appearance of The Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man has largely been thrown aside, public looks at the monstrous bad guy have mostly been quick and partial (unless you saw the Comic-Con footage or the sizzle reel). Today, we have a new straight-ahead look at the digital villain, including his face and his rather intimidating claws.
