Disney just released a new poster from the upcoming Pixar’s Brave.
There’s also a new trailer, but in reality it’s nothing more than an extended clip from the film. It looks very good though.
Here’s the plot of the movie, for those who are unfamiliar with it:
Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In “Brave,” a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.
The film is directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, with the voice talents of Kelly MacDonald, Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Kevin McKidd, Julie Walters, Robbie Coltrane and Craig Ferguson.
It is set for release this June 22.
The official trailer of Marvel’s “The Avengers” is finally online.
This epic movie reunites big heroes from the Marvel universe such as Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, among others.
Joss Whedon is directing this movie with an all-star cast composed of: Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson.
Here’s the trailer:
The music from the trailer is of Nine Inch Nails – We’re in This Together
The movie is scheduled to be released on 4th May, 2012
After the limited release of Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King 3D on theaters in August, Disney just announced a new line-up of remastered classics in 3D set for release on theaters venues in the States starting next year.
It will begin on January 13, 2012 with Beauty and the Beast, the first animated film that was converted in 3D by Disney, thanks mostly because of the CAPS system, as explained before on this very blog.
After that, Pixar’s classics will start to show up with the re-release of 2003 ‘Finding Nemo’ set for September of that same year and Monster’s Inc for January 18, 2013 (which will be a nice companion for the prequel named ‘Monsters University’ that is set also for release that same year, but on June 21)
And last, but not least, The Little Mermaid will get its 3D rerelease on September 13 of 2013.
So there you have it, we have a nice amount of Disney/Pixar goodness coming soon into theaters and they will be a nice present for our younger generations who will have the chance to discover these films, remastered in 3D, of course.
I’ve attached the press release, you can read it after the jump:
After Tron: Legacy, the sequel to cult-favorite 1982 film Tron, there was incertitude about Disney willing to continue the franchise by looking at the box-office numbers. However there were a couple of news regarding hired screenwriters and such, but announcements have been quiet for some months.
Last D23 expo, a fan asked Bruce Boxleitner (who played Tron in the two movies) about the sequel to Tron Legacy. His answer was a resounding ‘yes’. The movie is a done deal according to him and the plan is to make it for release by 2014. What we don’t know is if ‘Tron: Legacy’ director Joseph Kosinski is willing to do another entry since he’s busy with other projects.
We’ll have to wait a little more about more news regarding this project.
Not much is known story-wise about the upcoming Pixar-Disney production entitled ‘Brave’. We got our first look of this movie some months ago with a teaser that was attached to Cars 2 and a poster.
But now, thanks to PixarPlanet.com, we can finally see what the story is all about:
Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In “Brave,” a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.

Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.
Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, “Brave” is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and the signature Pixar humor enjoyed by audiences of all ages. The film takes aim at theaters on June 22, 2012, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.
A grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and signature Pixar humor, “Brave” uncovers a new tale in the mysterious Highlands of Scotland where the impetuous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) defies an age-old custom and inadvertently unleashes chaos, forcing her to discover the meaning of true bravery before it’s too late.
So there you have it. Can’t wait to see it.
One of my favorite directors working today is David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en, The Social Network, etc). And I was pretty intrigued seeing him talking at an Actors Studio Q&A at the Swedish Film Institute about what he thinks about Performance Capture (the technique pioneered in Avatar and being used in Tintin by Spielberg).
He mentioned an interesting bit about his upcoming production ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea’ for Disney.
Its vision for the film is to make it 70% CG, which is not that far of a stretch since Fincher is known for using CG techniques extensively in his films (even in thrillers as Zodiac he recreated entire streets of San Francisco of the 70’ in CG).
The movie is still far away from full production since he’s still working on the English adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, to be released this Christmas.
