Last night I went to go see Inglourious Basterds for a second time at a midnight showing and prior to the start of the movie we saw the trailer for Avatar, which in 2-D looked better than anything on saw on the crappy screens at Comic Con and really upped my excitement to see the movie and I also saw the short teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan's Inception, which looked particularly impressive and like the Avatar trailer, didn't include a single line of dialogue, just the tagline, "Your mind is the crime scene." The trailer will be online on Yahoo this Monday at 9 AM PST, but for now you can check out the official site, but I don't expect you will spend a lot of time there as moving your mouse left to right gets a bit tiresome after about one second. Oh, and if you want a description of the Inception teaser you can find it here.
Speaking of Christopher Nolan, CineFools spoke with producer Barry Mendel who said, "Nolan has dropped out of [directing The Prisoners], but we have a first draft by David and Janet Peoples who wrote Twelve Monkeys and David wrote Unforgiven and it's a good draft and we're working on the script right now." Of course, this was something he was attached to way back in 2006 and a film not many people were thinking of considering expectations we would be returning to direct Batman 3 next.
A script review of Darren Aronofsky's upcoming supernatural ballerina thriller Black Swan starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis has caught the attention of many folks online due to the following note:
[In] this movie, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have sex.
Yeah. You read that right. And not just nice sweet innocent sex either. We're talking ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry sex. Yeah so…this movie is already on the must-see list of 2010.
Ahhh, the easily entertained masses…
Those of you that read my roundup back on August 17 will remember me mentioning a rumor that Brad Pitt was shooting new scenes for Sherlock Holmes as Moriarty, Sherlock's arch nemesis. Rumors of Pitt's involvement were quickly denied, but director Guy Ritchie recently told MTV the character does make a cameo saying, "Some kind of an appearance is probably the best way to describe it." This has some pointing back in time to the early rumor that Russell Crowe would play the role, but as it stands right now, no one knows. Steven Zeitchik at THR says "think Sean Connery in the Kevin Costner Robin Hood" as the uncredited King Richard.
For those of you that read my list of Top 10 Quentin Tarantino Characters you may be interested in checking out another one at In Contention. The one big difference between the two is Kris Tapley also included Tarantino's scripts, which opened the door for two characters I deemed ineligible for my list.
Slash Film points us in the direction of a rumor that originated at Dnevnik saying a third X-Files film is currently being prepared for shooting to take place by 2012. The information comes from a Croatian interview with Gillian Anderson. Since I am just the messenger I'm not going to even try to figure the rest out, but if you start at Slash Film they have the rest of the links to follow to get more information on what seems like a pipe dream of a rumor.
A leaked trailer for Halloween II found its way online recently and director Rob Zombie commented on its unexplained appearance to EW saying:
"When I first saw the trailer [cut by the company Buddha Jones], I went, 'This is the f—ing movie we made.' And then [Dimension Films] was like, 'We don't want to use it, we don't like it,' and they just threw it away. Then they cut all these other trailers that just look like generic, stupid f—ing slasher movie trailers, and I was f—in' pissed. In fact, I wrote this long letter to the promotion department: 'I hate these trailers and these TV spots, and I f—in' hate you.' You spend forever trying to craft something special and they're gonna market it like a generic piece of '80s slasher movie sh– because they think audiences are so f—ing stupid they can't understand anything else. That trailer leaked from wherever, and I'm thrilled. The response has been like, 'Wow, I didn't want to see this movie until I saw this trailer.'"
I have no particular interest in the movie at the moment anyway, and it's not being screened for critics so it doesn't really matter in my world. It's one movie I won't be heading to a midnight screening of, but with news The Final Destination isn't screening for critics either has me upset and already prepping for a midnight showing.
Along with the news Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island is moving to February 2010, I also received word that Focus has officially set Richard Curtis' Pirate Radio for a November 13 release, Drew Barrymore's Whip It! will hit theaters on October 2 now and the Michael Jackson This Is It documentary of rehearsal footage will hit theaters on October 28 now for a two week limited run.
Thanks to Cinematical we are pointed to the following "Visual Effects: 100 Years of Inspiration" which includes looks at films from The Enchanted Drawing of 1900 to last year's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Below we have the video game trailer for Avatar.
Finally, I was directed to the following collection of Horatio Caine (David Caruso on "C.S.I. Miami") one-liners and just couldn't leave it out.

Hmmm im partially interested about that X-files rumor, altho I must say im a big X-files fan and the last X-files movie did nothing for me…in fact I thought it was kinda bad because it had no real reason to be made, was moreso just a cop story then anything else. I'm hoping if they do make another one that they will learn from there mistakes.
Rob Zombie is a hundred percent right. People who didn't like the 1st were a little too stupid to understand it. People wanted a straight up remake done of the 1st, which would've been pointless. Instead people make fun of it when he makes an actual backstory, an intelligent 50 minute part of the movie. He's doing the same this time around, some with the hospital setting of the original Halloween 2 witha bunch about the mind of Michael Meyers, and I'm sure reception will go the same.
Apparently everyone would rather eat up the garbage fest that was Friday The 13th 2009 (yes, I do hate this movie that much. It resembles everything wrong with the horror genre, why it's looked down upon and how not to make one.)
With X Files though, I hope they try for a better plot, not just some frankenstein man who doesn't really do anything. I liked the rumor about it that the movie was about Werewolves. Now that would make a really good X Files movie.
Oh, I didn't mean Rob Zombie said what I did. What I really meant was that he is right about them making Halloween 2 look really generic when his movies are far from it. He is right in saying the studios think people are too stupid to understand intelligence in a horror movie. It reminds me of how they remade Dawn Of THe Dead into a generic zombie movie instead of the horror drama the original was. That's how people want it, and it's really downright stupid.
@Seiko: Wow, didn't realize not liking Zombie's Halloween was because I was stupid. Thanks for setting me straight.
btw there is a line of dialogue in the avatar trailer jake says this is incredible
- What are you gonna do, Horatio?
- I… am going… to *puts on sunglasses*… put my sunglasses on.
Jesus Christ.
I WANT A THIRD X-FILES MOVIIIIIIE!!! :DDD *Too excited to say anything useful lol*
XF3 YAY!!
The "Avatar" game trailer looks terrible- like a Playstation 1 game, or "Azurik" from the very first Xbox back in 2001 *shudders*.
I just saw a trailer of Inception and it looks like another version of "The Cell" starring J. Lo.
I doubt it'll be as cheesy as "The Cell" (which surprisingly had a sequel). Some are saying this teaser trailer precedes a showing of Inglorious Basters, FYI.
Coming from Aronofsky, I doubt the sex scene will be anything general audiences will find "hot". I'll bet it has a lot of character building qualities while simultaniously being extremely depressing. A la Requim and the Wrestler.
@Brad Brevet: I find it hard to make my point about the whole "intelligence in horror movies being needed" thing. Not liking the movie doesn't mean your stupid. Everyone is aloud to have an opinion. But when a terrible movie like the mentioned "Friday The 13th 2009" hits it big time with zero use of any intelligence, then something is really wrong with general audiences that don't want intelligence. That is a movie that I cannot understand how anyone can even remotely enjoy. Does that sort of sound right?
