Full Transformers 2 Teaser Trailer

Hmm, interesting visuals, but I must say, I think that's a piss poor trailer. Very badly edited and without music lacks punch. Still the film should be a laugh.

The Black Freighter

The tension in the air is almost palpable as the clock counts down to one of the film industries biggest premires since George Lucas rebooted Star Wars for more money. I for one am shivering with fear and anticipation to see Watchmen finally take to the big screen, but this post isnt for me to gush with fan boy glee.

This is to talk about one of the books most atmospheric extra's of course if you've read the book you know I'm talking about 'The Tales of the Black Freighter'. The trailer is all over the internet and the pre-order for the DVD is avalible through various web sites, what can I say from the little i've seen?

It's visualy perfect, capturing the dark and terrifying feeling so prevalent within the sub story, I cant wait to see this horror story of 'humanities fall' come to life. As if this wasn't enough reason to buy the DVD also included in it is the biographical story of the first 'Night Owl' named 'Under the Hood' documenting the rise and fall of the 'Minute Men'. This will hopefully give a beautiful back history to the universe and really helps flesh out the entire experience.

Watchmen and Star Trek. New pictures from the big two 2009 films!

Watchmen. Absolutely stunning and gorgeous!

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Trailer

Watchmen Trailer

This is not exactly new, but I don't care. Now that I am back from being a burnout wreck it's time to get posting again. So here is the amazing looking trailer for Watchmen, due next year, this might redefine comic book movies, much like the Alan Moore GN redefined comics as a medium, enjoy!

I want more!

Wanted.

I have just finished the TPB of Mark Millar's absolutely bloody amazing series, Wanted.

Wow, I wont go into detail now, as this will be talked about on the next show, but hot damn, that book is stunning.

It has one of the best 4th wall destroying endings ever, it has copious amounts of gore and mess. It's violent, whitey, apt and engrossing.

I think reading Wanted was one of the most fun experiences I have ever had reading a comic. I couldn't put it down and I am kicking myself for only reading this now.

A thank you has to go out to my comics pusher, Harry, without him I would never have read this. If the film is anywhere as cool as this was, even close, it's gonna be amazing!

It seems the film is pretty different to the book, more the feel than plot is taken over, but it still looks cool, check out the trailer. My advice though, go read Wanted before you see it in the cinema, it's a real treat.

Box Office SMASH!

So I've just returned from viewing the awsome visual death match that is the Hulk.


It was just as the title said incredible. I dont want to talk to much about it as I hope we'll cover it in the next "Dork In Your Eye!" But I wanted to say to all our fans in the world wide web watch it! It's worth every penny and proves that marvel keeping their movies in house is the way of the future.

Ben - I can also agree mostly with Marc on this. I saw the film last night, and I was leaving any talk of it for a show. It's lots of fun. This one two punch with Iron Man (though I rate Iron Man higher) has basically knocked anything DC can put together out of the water. Great performances, action and awesome Marvel referencing of what is to come. Tune in to the next show for more, whenever that will be.

Yo Joe!! I wanna play with them all!

Well today for me has been like a fan boys wet dream. As I browsed the internet I found some interesting pictures from up coming movies that were a huge part of my child hood. This is going to have to be a two parter because I have so many pictures to display.

G.I Joe:

Well we all saw the beautiful pictures of snake eyes looking like a complete bad ass, finally they have released the full cast in their amazing costumes. I was worried that no one would look like the character they are meant to be... Oh how wrong could I be?! thanks to wizard for these shots. (ed-for all the pics click for larger version!)

Destro: He looks at the moment the least like his character as he doesn’t have the silver mask. But from the information they have given that will be coming later into the movie.

Duke: He’s a chisel jawed bad ass and looks like it. Damn this casting was seriously perfect. They have gone away from Dukes usual outfit of a mustard yellow shift and camo trousers for a more stream lined outfit in keeping with the rest of the G.I JOE force.

Hawk: DAMN! I never thought I’d see a living breathing version of the toy’s I owned but I cant argue with my eyes. I cant praise the wardrobe and casting enough.

Heavy Duty: Like Duke they’ve moved away from the characters original costume, which I admit works well for this movie.

Storm Shadow: Not much can be seen in this photo, but from what can he again looks like an amazing live action toy, I just want to put him and Snake Eyes in a room and make them duel to the death for my entertainment. Which if we are lucky should happen in the movie.

The Baroness: I’ll admit I started drooling a little when I saw these photos. She is a leather glad bad ass who I would happily play action games with long into the night. I’m glad to see they’ve gone for platforms instead of the usual stiletto making her straight away a more realistic character. I’d seen older pictures from earlier in the movie with her having blonde hair, I’m ecstatic to see her black hair returned obviously as a part of the characters development.

After seeing these amazing pictures I’m even more excited about the up coming film, I mean WOW! It's going to be like watching all my childhood action dreams come to life… All they need to do now is the Transformers and G.I Joe cross over, who knows it could happen.

More Marvel Movie News!

And this is news of the most awesome kind.

First off the little known Marvel comic Runaways, a comic I have read quite a bit. The basic premise is a bunch of kids discover there parents are super VILLAINS and run away from home. They then start to get powers of there own and use them to over throw there parents, and travel in time some in a confusing kinda way. I imagine the time travel thing wont feature in a film though. Oh yeh, Runaways is being turned into a film. Did I loose the point somewhere in there?

If you are sitting there wondering why I care, the series was co-created by Brian K Vaughan in 2002, he is also writting the film. Cool huh. It's a fun premise and you can get some more info here.

The second and in just about everyones opinion way bigger news is that the Captain America film, titled: The First Avenger: Captain America will be set ENTIRELY in World War Two! That is such awesome news sourced from here.

Ending weeks of rabid interenet discussion Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige decided to clear some things up. This is cool cos seeing the first super solider square off against Nazis and most likely the Red Skull (Caps arch nemesis) in WWII will make for some exciting and visually awesome scenes.

So we shall have this first origin film, followed by another, The Avengers movie, sepperated by a couple of months on 2011. So expect the first to finish with Captain America firmly frozen in ice! To allay fears that to get any of these films you will have to watch all that came before Feige commented:

“Each of them have to stand on their own,” Feige said. “You won’t have to have seen any of the films to understand The Avengers… but it will help.”

I shall be seeing ALL of them, and I can't wait!

Film News Bites

Its been a while since I did a little digest of news, so here we are with three film related stories for your perusal, enjoy!

Ronald D. Moore Movie Trilogy!

Ronald D. Moore has signed a deal with United Artists to bring to the big screen three Sci-Fi films. No more detail are available at this time, but that doesn't stop us from being excited. The man behind Battlestar Galactica, the best Sci-Fi perhaps ever seen on the small screen, has dabbled in big screen Sci-Fi before.

He has also worked on ST: Generations and the best every Star Trek film, First Contact. So, what this means is, yes please Ronald, we expect something adult, big and awesome! Frack yes!

Petersons game has ended.

A cryptic title, but let me explain. The long time awaited film adaptation of the Orson Scott Card classic Sci-Fi novel, Enders Game, has lost it's director. Wolfgang Peterson has dropped out of the project and the producers are looking for a replacement with a start date for filming in early 2009.

On a good side note, Card has finished the first draft of the script. I am a massive fan of the book, having read it and it's many sequels several times. I actually just finished listening to it in audio book. If you are not aware of Cards work, you really should give it a go, quality stuff.

Norton comments on Incredible Hulk rumours.

People have been worrying a great deal about how this film will go down in the box office. With rumours flying about and speculation rampant about issues in editing, the feelings for the movie have been somewhat negative of late. But Norton has something to say about that.

“Every good movie gets forged through collaboration, and different ideas among people who are all committed and respect the validity of each other’s opinions is the heart of filmmaking,” said Norton. “Regrettably, our healthy process, which is and should be a private matter, was misrepresented publicly as a ‘dispute,’ seized on by people looking for a good story, and has been distorted to such a degree that it risks distracting from the film itself, which Marvel, Universal and I refuse to let happen. ”

“It has always been my firm conviction that films should speak for themselves…” he added. “Our focus has always been to deliver the Hulk that people have been waiting for and keep the worldwide love affair with the big green guy going strong.”

Damage control or the truth? I guess we will never know. I still think the film looks awesome. Bring it on.

New Mortal Kombat Game
