'Pacific Rim' New TV Spot

When alien monsters attack Earth, giant robots piloted by humans are created to fight off the chaos. "To fight Monsters we created Monsters!" Pacific Rim is an upcoming summer movie, directed by Guillermo Del Toro. Check out the new TV spot below:

The film compliments the Japanese “kaiju” (giant monsters) sub-genre, made popular by iconic franchises like Godzilla.  Having appeared from a dimensional portal deep within the Pacific Ocean, humanity fights back with giant robots called Jaegers. The robots are manned by two mind-linked pilots but at the center of this tale we find an odd-pair of pilots – a damaged veteran Raleigh Antrobus (Charlie Hunnam) and a novice Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) – who must lead the fate of the planet with their obsolete Jaeger.

Official Movie Trailer:

Official Synopsis:
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Release date:  July 12, 2013

'Riddick' Teaser | You're Not Afraid Of The Dark, Are You?

After a years of waiting, we finally have a teaser trailer for all 'Riddick' fans! Since the first release dating back thirteen years from the movie 'Pitch Black', a fan favorite, there was some highs and lows for the following sequel 'The Chronicles Of Riddick' which failed to satisfy the box office. But, Diesel never gave up on the third film as he would hint on ideas he might pursue.  Then, back in May of 2011, Vin had confirmed a start date for the production of a film simply titled 'Riddick.' 

The teaser does not show much but here is the recent synopsis below:

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty. The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy.

'Total Recall' Futuristic Teaser Trailer!

This is the first teaser trailer for 'Total Recall' released today featuring Colin Farfell and Kate Bekinsale. Let me just say that this is one movie I am anticipating to watch for the year 2012. As you may recall (see what I did there) in a leaked Comic Con tease that disguised as a TV promo, we all now have the first footage from the upcoming 'Total Recall'.

 Even though the footage is too brief, this 'Total Recall' promo only teases on greater things to come! Watch at 00:16 seconds, look at that gear... I can only begin to imagine, as I know you are too. "This film promises to feature a better mix of sci-fi philosophical content and more action than your average sci-fi movies nowadays." - Screen Rant

Total Recall is scheduled for theatrical release in the U.S. on August 3rd, 2012.

Sunday (April 1st), is when the film’s full teaser trailer is scheduled to be released online.

John Carter (of Mars) 2nd Trailer | More Mars Footage!

John Carter (of Mars) is based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic sci-fi adventures, telling of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes part of a conflict  between various nations of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Dafoe) and Princess Dejah Thoris (Collins). Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom (Mars) and its people rests in his hands, so he takes it upon himself to save Barsoom and it's people.

Here is the second trailer released for the film, check it out below.  It looks amazing! despite the mixed reaction to the latest trailer. Did you know John Carter (of Mars) probably holds the record for having the longest period of "development hell" for any movie, at 79 years!!! I'm in! I love this kind of stuff, hard sci-fi with tall green martians on a planet with some awesome landscapes! You have to admit this looks amazing!

The film entered development when preproduction first started for it in 1931, when Robert Clampett (director of 'Looney Tunes') approached Edgar Rice Burroughs, the author of 'John Carter', to make an animated feature out of the first book in the series (which is what this film is also an adaptation of). Had plans gone through, 'John Carter' would have become the first animated feature the world had seen, beating Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The film finally left development in 2010 when filming officially started in January of that year in London.

John Carter is directed by Pixar alum Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, Wall-E) from a screenplay by Mark Andrews, Michael Chabon & Stanton. Disney is bringing John Carter to theaters in 3D everywhere starting March 9th, 2012 this spring.

Star Trek 2 - J.J. Abrams Commits to Directing

J.J. Abrams has officially committed to directing the sequel to the 2009 reboot of Star Trek. Vulture Magazine reports they will start shooting in the winter. We all eventually knew he would step back behind the camera for a sequel to his hugely popular Star Trek movie. But when his delay in committing outright caused Paramount to switch the sequel's planned release date of late June 2012 with that of the G.I. Joe 2 many began to get a little worried that he may not get to direct the movie.

The entire main cast of the first movie are set to return but we know very little about the plot. All we really do know for certain is that this will not be a remake or reboot of Wrath Of Khan as many fans thought it might be.

"Vulture can confirm that J.J. Abrams has finally committed to shooting Star Trek 2. Insiders familiar with the director's plans tell Vulture that pre-production is underway, that the script will be done by month's end and that Abrams will start shooting this winter."

 

Mass Effect Movie Announced at Comic Con 2011

For those that have not been keeping up with last week's San Diego Comic Con 2011, BioWare executive producer Casey Hudson mentioned some unexpected news on the upcoming Mass Effect film.

This is great news! The game itself is an awesome game and great story. Now for it to be made into a film... ahhh even better! Although this is all just recent news there are still no hard facts or details on this film. But Casey Hudson did mention that the film would tie into the game trilogy.

I am obviously excited about this film but also somewhat cautious and optimistic, because every time they make a game based film, we all would say "yeah, this is the one", then we'd be let down. But I do agree they have some very talented people behind this film so I am more excited when it's time to watch in the big screen! With script writer Mark Protosevich, the man behind films (Thor, I Am Legend) added, "When you look at making a video game movie, you have to ask yourself if the game is a good story and not just a good game. I think most games don't pass that litmus test. This one does." It is also a good thing to know that the studio behind Batman Begins, Watchmen, and Inception are helping make this film. As to the details on the director and characters and more, will probably not be released for another year. So stay tuned Mass Effect fans, I am excited as much as you are!

Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Movie Trailer 3

This is a new trailer by IGN of Rise of the Planet of the Apes starring James Franco, Freida Pinto, Tom Felton, Andy Serkis as the Ape, Brian Cox and more. This is a sci-fi film from the franchise movie Planet of the Apes. I have been reading several reviews and comments on the trailer and some funny and good, yet other's are skeptical and some don't like it. I have to say this movie did catch my attention. This movie looks good. It is present day in San Fransisco where a scientist experiments with genetic engineering in attempt to cure Alzheimer's disease leading to development of some highly intelligent and dangerous apes. Here you see Caesar leading the revolution of a war for supremacy.
