Two more big trailers arrived last night. Both films are
relatively unusual for “blockbuster” films in modern times, in that their
release dates are spread out over a couple of months, as opposed to “Day &
Date” global releases or just a matter of weeks apart. Release dates for each film are below their respective trailers.
R.I.P.D...
First up we have Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Bacon
and Mary-Louise Parker star in Graphic Novel adaptation R.I.P.D – Rest In Peace
Department. Directed by Robert Schwentke (Flight Plan), who successfully adapted
another comic book series, RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous), the basic concept
is that there is an undead police force. Nick Walker (Reynolds) joins forces
with the R.I.P.D to catch the people who have just murdered him.
Synopsis...
“Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds headline the 3D supernatural
action-adventure R.I.P.D. as two cops dispatched by the otherworldly Rest In
Peace Department to protect and serve the living from an increasingly
destructive array of souls who refuse to move peacefully to the other side.
Veteran sheriff Roy Pulsifer (Bridges) has spent his career
with the legendary police force known as R.I.P.D. tracking monstrous spirits
who are cleverly disguised as ordinary people. His mission? To arrest and bring
to justice a special brand of criminals trying to escape final judgment by
hiding among the unsuspecting on Earth.
Once the wise-cracking Roy is assigned former rising-star
detective Nick Walker (Reynolds) as his junior officer, the new partners have
to turn grudging respect into top-notch teamwork. When they uncover a plot that
could end life as we know it, two of R.I.P.D.’s finest must miraculously
restore the cosmic balance...or watch the tunnel to the afterlife begin sending
angry souls the very wrong way.”
I know this may sound very similar to that other comic book
adaptation Men In Black, but after more than a century of film making and millennia
of storytelling, pretty much everything sounds like something else.

The Lone
Ranger
Given that Westerns tend to do far less business
internationally than they do in North America, The Lone Ranger is definitely a
risk. Even with the super trio of Johnny Depp, Gore Verbinski & Jerry
Bruckheimer (Who made 4 extremely successful Pirates of The Caribbean films),
and the recent/continuing success of Tarantino’s Django Unchained ($257,220,912+
international versus $162,706,837 in North America), this $215m (cut from $250m), super hero Western is
by means guaranteed to make a profit at the cinema box office, although it
should make enough to make a series of films viable; and that is usually the
first target these days.
From Mouse Hunt & The Ring, to The Mexican, Rango and
the first three Pirates films, I’m a big, big fan of Gore Verbinski’s
particular form of entertainment, soI have to say I’m looking forward to this
one. He said:-
"I have always been intrigued by characters who exist at
times of monumental change. They are somehow cast against the events that
engulf them and magnified. The Lone Ranger is a story of two outcasts bonded by
adversity at a time when the lines between right and wrong have become blurred.
With no well defined beacons to aid them, and no tribe to return to, they are a
glorious pair of misfits: A band apart."
Synopsis...
“From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski,
the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise,
comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films' The Lone Ranger, a thrilling adventure
infused with action and humour, in which the famed masked hero is brought to
life through new eyes.
Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts
the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, a
legend of justice -- taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises
and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together
and fight against greed and corruption.
The Lone Ranger also stars Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner,
Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter.”
There is a 25min Q&A with Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and Gore Verbinski at the bottom.
