Ridley Scott‘s epic upcoming sci-fi return ‘Prometheus’ has a new international trailer. However, it looks pretty much like the original trailer, not new footage, but still cool editing and some minor changes to the pacing.

Here is the trailer embedded below:

The movie is one of my most anticipated movies of the year, it looks great and we will finally see what Ridley Scott is capable of in a new format (just like Martin Scorsese with ‘Hugo’).

Prometheus stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Sean Harris, Idris Elba, Kate Dickie, Logan Marshall-Gree, Rafe Spall, Patrick Wilson and Guy Pearce.

It is set for release this June 8th, 2012.

Tim Burton‘s produced ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter‘ just got its first teaser trailer released.

The movie, directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted), is an adaptation of best-selling novel by Seth Grahame-Smith (who also did the screenplay). It tells a fictional story about the president’s vendetta against Vampires, that’s right. Lincoln hunts vampires. This is not a bio-pic, so don’t worry about inadequacies. The main character is played by Benjamin Walker. Here is the teaser trailer below

The movie looks like a lot of fun, and I quite liked 2008′s Wanted, it was so over the top that it was funny.

Here’s the official movie plot:

The film explores the secret life of our greatest president, and the untold history that shaped our nation. As a young boy, Abraham Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) witnesses the shocking death of his mother, leading him on a path to an ongoing war – and ultimately to the presidency – he chronicles in a hidden diary. The journal reveals the incredible story of a clandestine warrior who never stopped fighting for the country he led and the people he loved.

The movie is going to be released on June 22nd, and I can’t wait to see it.

So here it is, the highly anticipated Spider-man reboot properly named “The Amazing Spider-man”.
This entry to the famous Marvel Comics franchise is directed by Marc Webb, director of (500) Days of Summer, starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-man and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy among others.
A teaser trailer was already featured on this blog but it didn’t gave a proper look at Spidey in action, this one does, and very well if I may say.

Without further due , I’ve embedded the trailer below, so you can enjoy it for yourself:

So there you have. The movie was shot with the new RED Epic camera, which means that it will look spectacular on IMAX 3D.

The movie will be released this July 3rd .

UPDATE: Seems like the producer has a different take on this rumor, which is, it’s fake. Original post is still below.
ORIGINAL REPORT: Straight from the ‘take it with a grain of salt‘ department, TwitchFilm is reporting that Harrison Ford is in early talks to participate in the Ridley Scott’s cult classic Blade Runner sequel/remake.

We already documented this some months ago about a report that Ridley Scott is going to revisit one of his most beloved films. We are not sure if he will be directing or producing, but it seems that he will be involved in some way.

So if Harrison Ford is returning to play his Rick Deckard character, this means that the previous plan about the film being a fresh remake can be tossed away, and now the project will be a direct sequel to the original, that is IF Harrison Ford joins the project.

The film is still under pre-production and according to a LA Times interview from August 2011, the producer Andrew Kosove is estimating that the shooting will begin early 2013. So if everything goes by the plan, we’ll see a release for 2014/2015. It all depends if the movie doesn’t fall on production hell, which is very common in Hollywood…

Stay tuned for more developing stories regarding this remake/sequel (whatever it turns out to be).

Fred here, I’m so sorry I’ve been quite absent for some time. I didn’t maintain this site as much as I wished, but this will change from now on…

So, a lot of things happened last year; 3D finally became mainstream, even if it wasn’t as accepted as hoped (those glasses alienating everyone…), it still has a very bright future.

On the technology/3D adoption side:

There have been serious discussion about 3D’s future among analysts; that 3D was a fad, etc. That Avatar was successful because it was a novelty and that people swore off 3D because they were tired of the poor experience…

Well, that last statement is quite right: a lot of the so-called 3D movies that were released last year were made with post-production conversion (which is NOT the same as native 3D) and the audience could tell that (The Green Hornet being the worst offender…). So they refuse to accept it and rather go for normal 2D screenings.

With that said, movies like Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Smurfs, etc. were quite successful even being filmed in 2D and then post converted. So there was still a market acceptance for it.

Even that these films were originally filmed in 2D, they've found success in the 3D conversion process

However, I don’t know much if the market is really accepting it or it is the studios that are trying to shovel the 3D format into the audience’s throat. It looks like the latter, but who can blame them?:

It reduces bootleg piracy, the tickets are premium priced and it pushed the adoption of 3D home theater setups (which Sony loves because it’s part of their business).

So yeah, they have all rigged the game so that 3D can’t fail. Or so we think…

But anyways, I’m biased to say that I can see 3D as a good tool for film-making, IF DONE RIGHT. So I think that film-makers should embrace it and start experiment with this tool (just like Martin Scorsese did) and then come with their real arguments against it.
