Previews of Coming Attractions: Upcoming New Movies (Thoughts and Info on Movies That Don't Have Their Own Thread Yet).

[Jumbo]

Ok, my thoughts about ancient action movie stars being like ancient rock stars---they need to just stop, even if people will buy it---may need to change since Stallone looked like he got in pretty good shape for recent and upcoming flicks (and even Arnold has), and Clint and Bruce can still pull it off a bit at least.

Now I thought Die Hard 5 sounds like a stupid idea when I first heard about it and Bruce is hard to buy as still being some uber badass at 60-plus (haven't seen any trailers yet), but then I found out Anne Vyalitsyna's in it so...

Man of Steel has to be the next big movie coming out that i really want to see.

Was just reading new Wolverine movie coming out.

[terpskins10]

I've been looking forward to this movie for years now.



Trailer:

Black Dynamite 2 news.

For those of you who haven't seen Black Dynamite, go watch it.

Really pumped for Zero Dark Thirty.

As wrong as Cruise is physically for Jack Reacher, friends of mine have seen it and loved it

I saw the silver linings playbook and loved it. Would not be surprised if it won best picture.

YES!! Think they played the trailer before TDKR. Looks really good!

Hooper, I am more afraid I'll like it the Reacher flick anyway, and then it will be another ****ing Tom Cruse move I enjoyed.

I don't know why I haven't liked the look of Djnago at all. I'm not a big Foxx fan, but I know he's good. Dunno why I have that reaction.

I saw the preview for the Reacher movie a couple weeks ago. Looks really good, but my first thought was that Tom Cruise was mis-cast, even though I never read any of the books.

All you gotta know is it has DiCaprio, Waltz, and Tarantino!

Will Smith was actually supposed to play the Foxx role, I think, but he backed out. Classic Will.

Disney to acquire Lucasfilm for 4.05 BILLION.

Promises Episode VII by 2015, with episodes VIII and IX to follow.

BTW - anyone see the Red Dawn trailers this weekend?

Looks underwhelming for such a classic 80's remake.

Skyfall on the other hand..looks amazeballs.

The minute I read it was about a KOREAN invasion, I knew it'd be trash. lol

When it came out, I thought the original Red Dawn was one of the more stupid movies I'd ever seen (still do) and the new one looks about the same to me (well, actually better due to cast and production values). Still a "pass" for me.

It's classic cheese that resonated with my age group in 1984-1985.

Yeah, I can see that--makes sense. Like one of those "bad movies" that's just fun because it's so bad and they were tryng to be real.

Haven't seen any footage of WWZ yet, but know there was an old thread on it that I may go read, and believe it or not, just finally read the book this last week. I could see a lot of potential for great visuals scene-wise in the stories.

After I read World War Z a couple of years ago, I heard the rumor that there was going to be a movie. I thought it would be amazing, because the book has such a great narrative arc to it. Then, I heard what the movie would be about, and IMDB has this up as the plot:

"A U.N. employee is racing against time and fate, as he travels the world trying to stop the outbreak of a deadly Zombie pandemic."

No. That is not World War Z. Unless there's a major re-write to correct the error, the point of the book was how we (humanity) fought together and recovered from the zombie plague/epidemic/menace/whatever, not about trying to prevent it. Sure, that part is at the very beginning of the book, but it's just to get the plot in motion. It's not the main focus. Oh well, not like whining on the internet ever stopped Hollywood from screwing up a perfectly good book.
