Jurassic Park Getting A Summer 2013 3D Re-release

March 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The only film I’ve thought might really be worth trying to give a 3D conversion to is Jurassic Park, as when watching it you almost get the sense it’s crying out for the dinos to come through the screen.

Whether it will work or not is less certain as the 3D conversions we’ve had so far have certainly been a mixed bunch, but Universal obviously thinks it’s worth a try, as they’ve announced a summer 2013 3D re-release for the movie.

Variety reports that the studio has set a July 19th, 2013 US release date for Jurassic Park 3D, which suggests they reckon there’ll be a big audience for the film as they’re dating it at the height of summer, when kids out of school and there’s a lot of competition for box office dollars.

If the re-release is successful, it may also give momentum to the long-gestating plans for Jurassic Park 4.

Lionsgate & WWE Plan A Remake Of Leprechaun

March 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

WWE has had mixed success trying to move from wrestling into the movies (which was an odd idea in the first place), and now they’re outdoing themselves with inexplicable plans, as WWE Studios is teaming up with Lionsgate to bring the Leprechaun series back to life, according to Variety.

The 1993 original famously starred a pre-Friends Jennifer Aniston opposite a heavily made up Warwick Davis as an evil, sadistic Leprechaun who goes on a killing rampage in search of his beloved pot of gold. The cheap and cheerful horror flick was successful enough to spawn five sequels.

Despite the mixed success of WWE’s film efforts, CEO Vince McMahon apparently wants to give their studios some time to grow under new lead Michael Luisi, who was given the film division in September. Luisi says, “We have been looking for ways to continue our relationship with Lionsgate and we saw Leprechaun as the perfect opportunity to take a well-known franchise and put a modern-day spin on it. This is a property that we believe our audience will respond to and we continue to look for ways to surprise and engage them.”

Quite what wrestling has to do with Leprechauns I don’t know, but WWE apparently thinks it’s a good fit.The studios are expecting a 2013 release date.

Mickey Rourke & Danny Trejo Are Dead in Tombstone

March 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Mickey Rourke, Danny Trejo, and Anthony Michael Hall certainly make for an interesting cast, and according to Deadline they’re all teaming up for the action western Dead in Tombstone, for director Roel Reiné.

The story follows Guerrero Hernandez (Danny Trejo), the leader of a Mexican group of outlaws who is double-crossed by his half-brother (Anthony Michael Hall) while trying to break him out of prison. One year later, Hernandez makes a deal with the Devil (Mickey Rourke) to be resurrected so he can seek revenge on his half-sibling, in a town fittingly named Tombstone.

Roel Reiné is directing from a screenplay by Brendan Cowles and Shane Kuhn, with shooting set to begin next week.

Universal Plans A New Cat In The Hat

March 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Universal’s 2003 live-action The Cat In The Hat with Mike Myers wasn’t a huge success, but with their recent animated take on The Lorax massively outperforming expectations, they’re returning to the classic Dr. Seuss tale for a CGI movie.

Deadline says that Universal is once more teaming up with Illumination Entertainment, the company behind The Lorax and Despicable Me, for a film based on the tall, anthropomorphic, mischievous cat, who wear a tall, red and white-striped hat and a red bow tie. The books follow the Cat, who brings a cheerful, exotic and exuberant form of chaos to the household of two young kids, one rainy day while their mother leaves them unattended. The script will be written by Rob Lieber.

There’s no news on when the movie will reach cinemas, but following the success of The Lorax, Universal is liely to want it sooner rather than later.

Megan Fox and Zoe Saldana Board Swindle

March 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A movie that’s happening purely because two young actresses want to work together perhaps isn’t the best reason to make a film, but it appears that’s what’s happening with Swindle, which Deadline reports has been snapped up by Paramount with Zoe Saldana and Megan Fox attached.

The plot of the action movie is being kept under wraps, but Swindle came out of a desire by the actresses, who are already friends, to do a movie together. Moneyball producer Michael De Luca will produce the project with the help of Saldana & Fox, working from a script by Enzo Mileti and Scott Wilson.

This project is still in early development and no director is attached.

Nathan Fillion Joins Percy Jackson Sequel

March 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It still seem odd that that Fox has waited so long to make a Percy Jackson sequel, but Sea Of Monsters is now coming together and the latest to sign up, according to THR, is Firefly and Castle star Nathan Fillion.

Fillion will play Hermes, who was the messenger to the Gods in Greek mythology. In Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson novesl, Hermes is also the father of the antagonist, Luke (Jake Abel). Dylan Neal portrayed Hermes in Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, but Fillion will take over here. Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, and Brandon T. Jackson are all returning for this sequel, which sees Percy heading under the waves in search of the fabled Golden Fleece.

Thor Freudenthal is directing Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, script by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. It isn’t known exactly when production will begin on Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.

Dark Shadows Trailer

March 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It’s odd that it’s taken so long, but a trailer for Dark Shadows is finally here. Based on a 1960s supernatural US soap opera, the film reunites Tim Burton and Johnny Depp for a film that from this trailer looks like it’ll be deliberately silly but fun, and it seem like it’ll be the most Burton-looking movie we’ve seen in a while, with plenty of gothic flourishes. In the film, Johnny Depp plays Barnabas Collins, who was turned into a vampire by a witch in the 18th Century and then buried alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to old home, Collinwood Manor, to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Jonny Lee Miller, Jackie Earle Haley, Chloe Moretz and Gulliver McGrath also star. The film’s out May 11th.

Halle Berry Enters The Hive

March 16, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

We haven’t seen a massive amount of Halle Berry for the last few years, but now she’s getting busy again with new acting roles and according to Variety has joined the cast of The Hive for director Brad Anderson.

The thriller is set in a 911 emergency call centre and focuses on Berry’s character, a 911 operator who tries to save a teenage girl from a serial killer, even if it means she must face her own fears in the process (people in movies always have their own fears to face, after all). Back in April, Joel Schumacher was set to direct, although he later dropped out. Brad Anderson (The Machinist, Transsiberian) has since taken over, directing from a script by Richard D’Ovidio (13 Ghosts).

Shooting will begin this summer in Los Angeles.

March 15, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Urban movies are quite big at the moment, but gay urban movies dealing with queer people of color are far rarer. However there’s Stud Life, which will be screening at the BFI London Lebsian & Gay Film Festival on the 30th & 31st of March. Stud Life is about ‘JJ, the black lesbian stud who looks and acts like an old-fashioned stone butch dyke and her best friend, a promiscuous, sharp-tongued, gay man, Seb, who also helps assist her work as a photographer.’ The trailer is now online, so take a look at it above.
