Men In Black 3: a couple of new TV spots...

submit to reddit
The men are almost back in Black, although the way things are going even another 17 days may not be enough of a buffer between it and the record breaking, Avengers. ($702m in 13 days.) But the return of Smith and Jones is something to look forward to, even if only so we can all spend 2 hours trying to decide if that’s Tommy Lee Jones’ voice dubbed onto Josh Brolin or just a really, really good impression of Jones’ agent K.


Synopsis...
“In Men in Black™ 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him -- secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.”

The Amazing Spider-Man: Latest trailer arrives for what is seen as the least of the summer’s big 3 Super hero movies.

submit to reddit
Despite being the world’s number one Super hero (movie tickets and merchandise sold as well a persistently in the high end of actual comic book sales) The Amazing Spider-Man’s status as a largely unwanted “reboot” of a highly popular, and recent series of films has meant that everyone has assumed it will have to settle for 3rd place behind whichever of The Avengers or The Dark Knight Rises finishes 1st, the 2nd. With the Avengers taking $300m in the first 10 days of a very staggered international release, it seems almost certain that if you want to be the king of the supers in 2012 you’ll have to make over $1b, well over to do so. I’m not sure, yes the film has not caught the public’s imagination in anything like the same waay that The Avengers and The Dark Knight have, but unlike Superman (who remained well known but NOT popular when Superman Returns was coming out) Spider-Man is still a massive character. So here is Sony’s latest attempt to get people to forget Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire.

Synopsis...
“One of the world’s most popular characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in "The Amazing Spider-Man." Focusing on an untold story that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story, the new film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin Sheen and Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay written by James Vanderbilt, based on the Marvel comic book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad, and Matt Tolmach are producing the film in association with Marvel Entertainment for Columbia Pictures, which will open in theaters everywhere in 3D on July 3, 2012.”

"The Amazing Spider-Man" is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance--leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, the Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.”

submit to reddit

With The Avengers raking in $260m in less than 1 full week at the international box office, it’s safe to say that the producers of SWATH are feeling pretty good about casting Chris ‘Thor’ Hemsworth as their Huntsman right now.


Synopsis...
“In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White's beauty and power.

The breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale is from Joe Roth, the producer of Alice in Wonderland, producer Sam Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders.”

The Dark Knight Rises: The Final trailer “This isn’t a Car”...

submit to reddit

Here is the trailer that will be playing in front of Marvel Studios The Avengers from Friday. Promising to continue the serious tone of Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, it will attempt to take back the “best super  hero movie ever made” crown that several critics and punters have been ceding to The Avengers in the past 5 days. (A review of that film, which is every bit as good as you’ve heard, if not better) will be up here later today. Let’s just say it deserved every penny of the $185m it has taken in 3-5 days in only a portion of the international market.)

Synopsis...
“Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' "The Dark Knight Rises" is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, Leading an all-star international cast, Oscar(R) winner Christian Bale ("The Fighter") again plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. The film also stars Anne Hathaway, as Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy, as Bane; Oscar(R) winner Marion Cotillard ("La Vie en Rose"), as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as John Blake. Returning to the main cast, Oscar(R) winner Michael Caine ("The Cider House Rules") plays Alfred; Gary Oldman is Commissioner Gordon; and Oscar(R) winner Morgan Freeman ("Million Dollar Baby") reprises the role of Lucius Fox. The screenplay is written by Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven, who previously teamed on "Batman Begins" and the record-breaking blockbuster "The Dark Knight."
