"Gravity" Marketing Movie At Warp Speed, New Imax Poster Released

In the film, hitting 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on October 4, Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone--tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth...and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

Yeah, Nerd, Mark Wahlberg Knows What A "Dinobot" Is; Tiptoes Around The Issue

 

Out promoting his latest film with Denzel Washington, 2 GUNS, in theaters this Friday, Mark Wahlberg got asked by some nerd MTV guy if he was aware of "Dinobots", and besides Mark about slap him in the mouth, he deflected the "rumors" by asking if MTV guy wanted him to be replaced midway through production for revealing secrets.

When MTV News' Josh Horowitz sat down with Wahlberg and Denzel Washington to talk about their new movie "2 Guns," the topic of Dinobots came up, and things got heated pretty quickly. "None of your business," Wahlberg said, responding to a question of whether he has encountered any Dinobots. "You don't want me to get replaced halfway through production for divulging secrets."

 Spoilers: Shit probably gets blown up and Marky Mark learns a valuable lesson about "being a single father". Now you call can stay home and not complain loudly on the internet because they RUINED MUH CARTOON LORE.

Moving onto non-Dinobot related "Transformers" talk, Wahlberg confirmed that the new installment feels unlike anything that has come before it, thanks in part to the character he has taken on. "It feels like a completely different movie, very fresh," he said. "Obviously, it's a really interesting dynamic, being a young, single dad having a teenage daughter, trying to succeed as an inventor, having very little means and also trying to provide for my family. Then all hell breaks loose."

Well, Dinobots would be cool right? They wouldn't be practical at all; but who seriously cares? The movie will deliver big explosions, action, and nice cars. That's why we drop $15 for an IMAX ticket opening night then take to Twitter to bitch about it for the rest of the week, right fellow movie lovers?

"X-Men: Days of Future Past" Goes Viral With Trask Industries Website

I have to say there has been some good viral campaigns lately and the Trask Industries Website just going live courtesy of Fox for X-Men: Days Of Future Past might be the best one yet.

The site features photos and company information relating to their Sentinel program launched by Bolivar Trask, and we get a great glimpse of Peter Dinklage in the role. The program was designed to destroy mutants.

The site features several company slogans, "Advancing Human Progress For 50 Years", "Preserving Humanity Through Technology",  and "Responding To The Genetic Threat". Check out some photos from the site below along with a video.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Trailer is Stunning

If you saw The Wolverine this weekend, then you know the pleasant surprise that was the first trailer for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty remake from director/star Ben Stiller. You might wince at the thought of your run-of-the-mill Stiller comedy vehicle. Trust me when I say, this is something else and does it look fantastic.

It took a few days but 20th Century Fox has officially released said trailer. Check it out:

First Look at David O. Russell's American Hustle

Set photos have been out in the open for awhile. But USA Today has the first official look at American Hustle, director David O. Russell's fictionalized telling of the FBI’s 1978 Abscam sting operation. It's a "Greatest Hits" collection if you will of Russell alumni with a cast featuring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence and what appears to be Bradley Cooper as Todd Phillips.

Lindsay Lohan Will Work Again

Me myself, I'm tired about hearing about Lindsay Lohan. How many more chances can she get (and after getting pulled aside by the likes of Jane Fonda and Tina Fey and told to knock that shit off) before the industry washes their hands of her? Well this much should be said. If she wants a legitimate career rejuvenation, she's gonna have to pay her dues like Robert Downey Jr. did a decade ago before Marvel and Jon Favreau took a chance.

Roger Friedman says someone is already willing to take that first step. Lohan is expected to appear in Live by Night, the next directorial project from Ben Affleck following the Oscar-winning Argo. An adaptation of the Dennis Lehane, she is reportedly "this close" to a deal. Though the role isn't specified, it is thought she'll play the female lead, "a tough waitress with a heart of gold who gets involved with the two male leads."

John McAfee Biopic in the Works

Screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski are no strangers to the eccentric. The duo penned Ed Wood, The People vs. Larry Flynt and Man on the Moon. They know their loopy-headed geniuses alright.

They will continue in that path penning a feature on John McAfee, founder of the security software that tries to install itself on your computer (if you PC users out there), who sold away all his assets and moved to Belize. You may remember the headlines made last year of his possible involvement in the murder of his neighbor.

The Wired article "Dangerous: An In-Depth Investigation into the Life of John McAfee" will serve as the basis for the film. Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (Crazy, Stupid, Love) will direct.

Spike Lee's Oldboy Remake Pushed Back to Thanksgiving Weekend

While there is no proper place to slot the Spike Lee-directed remake of Oldboy, right before Halloween was appropriate given its unsettling nature. However FilmDistrict has decided to reposition it from October 25^th to November 27^th.

In other words, they're dumping it. They didn't give any reason but its obvious the subject matter will not sit well with us lazy, close-minded Americans. Best to throw it away to Thanksgiving weekend to be eaten alive by The Hunger Games: Catching Fire repeat business and Disney's Frozen.

Original Superman Producer Ilya Salkind Is Meh On "Man Of Steel"

Man Of Steel certainly made some money domestically and overseas, but it was front loaded and is now going to fall $10 million plus short of $300 million domestic. For those that are counting, that is only the 2nd film outside of the Harry Potter & Twilight series to not hit $300 million domestic after opening to $100 million plus. Interesting fact for you to think about.

The not so epic descent of the film's box office is partly due to people seeing the film, shrugging, and then moving on. Not everybody felt like this, but there was enough of them to ensure the film stayed below the $300 million range. Produer of Superman: The Movie & Superman II had a similar reaction.

"I think it's a little Batmanish."

"Robocop" Toy Images Reveal Multiple Suit Designs

I'm not sure about the rest of the internet, but as I have mentioned in some of my past posts on Robocop, I'm excited for the movie. I was happy to see that there was a presence at Comic-Con, despite the fact that the event mostly caters to the fanboy & has evolved into one long studio sponsored party.

I'm still going next year despite that. Thank you.

Below is the first glimpse at Robocop merchandise courtesy of collectible website KanpekiSetto. The images include a multitude of Robocop suits that are rumored to be unleashed in the upcoming film. Based of the images, they already look miles ahead of what the Man Of Steel merchandising team had to offer. Head over to Gotham-News for some additional images.

In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years – and it’s meant billions for OmniCorp’s bottom line. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine pursuing justice.
