#TV News! trailer for J.J. Abrams' new show Revolution

First up, the sad news (at least, for me :P), Bad Robot Productions' latest series, Alcatraz has been officially canceled.
Awww... But...I liked the concept! And the characters were fun...
I'll miss having Jorge Garcia in a show around... And Sarah Jones was great too...aww...

Don't care if you didn't like the show, I'll miss it all the same...
This will be Bad Robot's second canned show. I hope they'll put it out on DVD at least, unlike Undercovers.. (any chance for a "Complete Series" on DVD for Undercovers too? Boyt was awesome!)

On the plus side, Abrams already has a new show coming up soon!
Which will debut on NBC - hope he simply avoids Fox from now on. Fringe will also be ending....with a small ~13 episode-long 5th season...
Anyway, the new show is co-created with Eric Kripke (Supernatural)
Here's the official pitch:

Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman's life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously – and unbeknownst to her – had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.

And the first trailer!



This certainly looks promising!

It certainly got a better chance of survival on a network like NBC. (and not FOX!!)
The pilot will be directed by Jon Favreau, no less!
From the looks of things, it will start in September.

FanFilmFriday: Harrison Ford Settles a Feud

Here's another great video from the Jimmy Kimmel Live show!

This one's from a special episode of Jimmy Kimmel which was directed by guest Jon Favreau.

Harrison Ford was also a guest and so...I guess they couldn't resist the urge to do a throwaway Star Wars joke :P

Enjoy:

Is it only me, or watching "Han Solo" shouting at a guy in a Chewie costume does get me all nostalgic in a funny sort of way~

Movie NEWS! Cowboys, aliens and mutants

New trailers!

The Rat sez: Hell Yeah!

Cowboys, aliens and mutants...
All different, all comic book adaptations.
So there's a new Cowboys & Aliens trailer out.



Are you motivated to see this Jon Favreau movie?
The original indie comic was a fun & fresh original take on such a B-movie subject.
Hope the movie turns out great. (heck, with Harrison Ford in it, how couln't it be fun to watch?)


Second trailer, it's a brand new good trailer of the (hopefully not) bad new X-Men installment, X-Men First Class.

Alright... as bad as I can smell this movie's going to be...this trailer was pretty decent. Clearly, at 20th Century Fox, they got some pretty trailer maker guys...
How could this turn out 100% bad, I mean, there's some Bacon in it! XD

And that is all for this time~

Movie NEWS! Cowboys & Aliens trailer!

The trailer to the much anticipated new movie from Jon Favreau (Made, Iron Man Elf) has just been released!

....WHAT????

In case you're just jumping on this one, lemme explain it a bit to you.

Cowboys & Aliens on July 29, 2011. It is directed by Favreau, produced by Steven Spielberg and will feature and all A-list actors cast. (Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, etc..)

It is yet another adaptation of a comic book.
An indie comic this time from Platinum Studios.

The original comic was created by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg and written by Fred Van Lente and Andrew Foley, with art by Luciano Lima.

The story in a nutshell:
"An extraterrestrial species lands in Arizona in the mid-19th century. The aliens plan to squash the Wild West and enslave humanity, but the cowboys and native Apache have other plans..."

Nothing to complicated. It's just a fun story and quite entertaining.
It pays homage to both Old West stories and alien B-movies from the 70s.

Anyway, here's the trailer, enjoy!

MOVIE NEWS! Ironman 3 and Christopher Nolan's new flick

In case you didn't follow the news lately, a Ironman 3 will be made... after the big MARVEL crossover movie Avengers.

The "movie road" to Avengers is paved by (chronologically) by Ironman, Ironman 2, Incredible Hulk (which happens after Ironman 2 from what we can see with Stark Entreprise's evolution), Thor and First Avenger: Captain America.

And after that?

It seems there's gonna be a new batch of Marvel adaptations, after the Avengers crossover.
Like Antman! A rumoured Luke Cage! And Ironman 3.

Behold!! The Mandarin!!... He's got ten rings and his all evil! *sigh*

I've never really been a fan of the Mandarin. Then again, I've never really been a fan of Ironman himself before the movies...
He's always acted like a douche, he's selfish, a rich guy with no problems (and don't you dare quoting the alcohol problem, like it was really that much of a problem in the first place!)... During the comic event Civil Wars, it was difficult to see Ironman's side winning instead of the good-hearted Captain America's.

But it's logical to have Ironman finally meeting the movie version of the Mandarin at some point, like having the Green Goblin in Spider-man or Magneto in X-men. He's his iconic cult antagonist, no matter how silly a guy with magic rings could be. (plus there's been so many references to his "Ring" order in both Ironman movies!)

Here's Jon Favreau talking about all that:

By then (what's it gonna be? 2012? later?) the Marvel Moviverse TM (I just made up Marvel Moviverse!, quote me on that! : P) will have magic (Thor) and stuff (supersoldier serum/Hulk/Captain).
I'm sure the magic rings can kinda work in a movie! Just make them mystical and part machine or something~
And it's not like the Ironman armour is that much realistic, I mean, did you see how he wears it, with that much firepower and even an AI/super computer inside!


Moving on-

On Christopher Nolan's side, who's not yet ready to make a new Batman movie but almost, there's a new movie called Inception coming!

Oh, come on!! Did they have to rehash the Dark Knight teaser posters!
'Like in case we weren't sure he's the one who directed it!

I find myself that such a director as Christopher Nolan works better on more indie movies.
Having him back on something more original is great news! (like he did inbetween both previous Batman movies)

This sounds pretty unique but enough talk, here's some spots for ya kids:
