JURASSIC PARK IV Might Be A Reboot? Lol?

 

According to Stuff.co, actor Sam Neill, who played Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III commented that he won't likely be returning to Isla Nublar in (the previously put on hold) Jurassic Park IV because it's a REBOOT.

"I'm told it's a big reboot, a total re-jig."

Despite some heavy evidence to the contrary that it will be a sequel (hence the title IV) Mr. Neill thinks it's a reboot? Matter of misscomunication? Info leak? Who knows. What I do know, however, is that this could go either way. 

But how do you reboot a classic? 

We're The Millers Red Band Trailer

Bet you saw that production still of Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston in the Winnebago and thought We're the Millers was family vacation comedy, didn't you?

Aniston as a stripper (Bigger revelation is she isn't annoying onscreen), Ed Helmes as the least-convincing drug kingpin (I think that is the point), Nick Offerman and Kathryn Hahn as an otherwise content couple into... sharing and spider-bites gone to the extreme.

This red-band trailer informs you were wrong. Dead wrong.

Francis Ford Coppola to Direct New Italian-American Saga

It's about damn time.

For anyone who thought Francis Ford Coppola - arguably one of the top five greatest director's in the past half century - was finished, you obviously thought wrong.

News comes today that the legendary director of The Godfather is going back to his Italian-American heritage for his next, still untitled film.  The story will chronicle an Italian-American family spanning from the 1930 to the 1960s, specifically, a boy and a girl in their late teens.

Coppola his currently at work on the screenplay and has set up shop at, where else, Paramount, who distributed and financed all the Godfather films.  There is no confirmation, however; that this will be the case with the new project.

Since the 1990 release of The Godfather: Part III, Coppola has steered clear of making any mainstream, studio films, instead choosing to do more independent, artsy flicks such as Tetro, Youth Without Youth, and Twixt; all self-financed by the director himself.

I remember reading an article a while back that Coppola always hated working for studios because he felt they diminished the creative freedom a director should always have; case in-point, The Godfather: Part II.  He basically told Paramount to go screw themselves unless they give him total control of the project...and that's why even though The Godfather is a masterpiece, Part II is the better film.

Definitely, more on this project as it becomes available.

Don Jon Trailer Glides on the Likeability of Joseph Gordon-Levitt

It's hard not to like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. For an actor of his talent, he seems like a decent bloke. None of that actor-y air of superiority bullshit.

When he announced plans to write and direct the sex-addiction comedy Don Jon, it was easy to go with him. Yeah Steve McQueen and Michael Fassbender went the dark(er) route with the same subject two years prior. But all those great directors he's worked with must have rubbed off on him. And again, I just like the guy. 

And what do you know? It looks good.

Adam Sandler Credits Pact with Satan for Long Success (AKA Grown-Ups 2 Trailer)

How else to explain his long tenure of America's favorite comedy star? That or we as a nation have awful taste.

 Grown-Ups 2 has an international trailer. Don't ask why (Sandler's comedies aren't typically big draws overseas). Nobody knows. Unless David Spade's head up Kevin James' ass (An image even David Cronenberg would wince at) tested huge in the European markets.

Delivery Man - Not the Psycho Sequel We Need, But the Vince Vaughn Comedy We Deserve

If only this gelled with Gus Van Sant's Psycho do-over. 533 kids discover their father was Norman Bates. Follow some of his off-spring as they see what growing up in a single-parent environment did to their father's psyche and their growing concerns if his obsessions with Mother are genetic.

Alas Delivery Man is intended as a sperm donor comedy, and Vince Vaughn vehicle rolled into one.

My idea is better.

Latest Man Of Steel Trailer Heavy On Zod

In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time. Clark Kent/Kal-El (Cavill) is a young twentysomething journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond anyone’s imagination. Transported to Earth years ago from Krypton, an advanced alien planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question – Why am I here? Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Costner), Clark soon discovers that having super abilities means making very difficult decisions. But when the world needs stability the most, it comes under attack. Will his abilities be used to maintain peace or ultimately used to divide and conquer? Clark must become the hero known as “Superman,” not only to shine as the world’s last beacon of hope but to protect the ones he loves.

Proof Clark Kent Wears Those Dorky Glasses in Man of Steel

For some reason, Clark Kent wearing glasses in The Man of Steel was in doubt. Guessing that had to do with Zack Snyder making fun of the traditional disguise. He also said Zod wasn't the villain and look how that worked out for Michael Shannon.

If you saw the Comic-Con presentation last year, a few choice seconds were dedicated to Henry Cavill walking into an elevator and popping his signature specs on. And if you followed the Siegel/Shuster court-case, you knew it was going to happen. They had to feature anything originating from Action Comics #1 to legally cover their asses for any sequels.

Still not convinced? Warner Brothers teamed with Warby Parker for a new line of glasses with designs "inspired by the much anticipated film, Man of Steel."

So yeah, he wears the damn glasses. Probably in the last five minutes.

The New Trailer for The Wolverine

The intriguing part of The Wolverine is showcased only at the start. Logan (Hugh Jackman) is alone - again. What happened to "I'll take my chances with him!" at the end of X2? What caused the guy who gave up searching for his past to start a new life with his new family to give up and abandon his family? I want to know.

But that's not what this new trailer answers, let alone is concerned with.

Besides the Jean Grey cameo (A force-feed plot device since what he and Jean experienced wasn't a doomed romance - nothing more than mild flirtation), nothing feels all that different from the first theatrical trailer or CinemaCon trailer.

"Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before."
