Cloverfield 2 Movie

Cloverfield II movie - Cloverfield SequelDuring the last WonderCon J.J. Abrams was asked about his intention regarding a possible movie sequel to Cloverfield. And to the fans’ pleasure he did confirm that he’s definitely working on something:

Cloverfield 2 Movie JJ Abrams

JJ Abrams talks about Cloverfield II

“We’re actually working on an idea right now… The key obviously at doing any kind of sequel, certainly this film included, is that it better not be a business decision. If you’re going to do something, it should be because you’re really inspired to do it. It doesn’t really have to mean anything, doesn’t mean it will work, but it means we did it because we cared, not because we thought we could get the bucks.

We have an idea that we thought was pretty cool that we’re playing with, which means there will be something that’s connected to Cloverfield, but I hope it happens sooner than later because the idea is pretty sweet.”

Producer J.J. Abrams
at the Star Trek panel at WonderCon 2009


It seems more and more unlikely that we will have a straight sequel. Looks like J.J Abrams and Matt Reeves have something really special in mind for Cloverfield 2. Abrams says that their idea is “pretty sweet” maybe just a teaser catch… But I believe they could deliver something like that with Cloverfield 2: Abrams and Reeves are both damn talented.

Any idea about what Cloverfield II should look like? Got any suggestion for Producer J.J. Abrams and Director Matt Reeves?

If Skynet (the evil network aiming at annihilating mankind) was to become real nowadays, it wouldn’t be based on military installations, it would rather rise from the civilian cloud that’s currently building up. And rather than Skynet, we would probably call it Google AI…
;-P

Wolverine Movie

Wolverine Movie on May 1rst, 2009The latest Wolverine trailer will definitely convince you that the movie will be awesome if you were not yet a believer:

Wolverine Movie Trailer

Hugh Jackman had a double hat on this new Wolverine movie: he was both lead actor and producer. So, it was an ideal occasion for him to put forward his vision of Wolverine which is much closer to the comic canon than what we may have seen in the previous X-Men movies:

Hugh Jackman

“I’m not mad about it, but I thought he had gotten a bit soft. I thought we had gotten away from the essence of who Wolverine really is: a bad (dude) who wants to live his own life.
[…]
The character has always reminded me of Dirty Harry or Han Solo. He’s a good guy, not a nice guy. He’s got a lot of flaws, which I think is what people find so attractive about him and the X-Men. He’s struggling with who he is and what he wants. He was one of the comics’ first anti-heroes.”

Hugh Jackman
(via USA Today, here.)


Hugh Jackman is epitomizing the role of Logan / Wolverine to such an extent, that if I ever meet him I’d almost expect him to show me his adamantium claws. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine rules!

Dakota Fanning as Jane in New Moon

Dakota Fanning as Jane in New MoonAcclaimed actress Dakota Fanning has officially joined the cast and will play the Volturi Jane in the Twilight Saga New Moon. The rumor was online since a long, but nice to have an official confirmation from Summit Entertainment.

In the universe of Twilight, the Volturi are like law enforcers among the Vampires: they are much respected, end even feared because of their mind control tricks

So Dakota Fanning will play the role of Jane, one of the prize members of the Volturi Guard and one of their highest ranking guards, a sadistic person and a pet of Aro a former Volturi leader. She seems rather bitter and easily justifies inflicting pain on anyone with her power. Jane has a twin brother named Alec and they both reside in Volterra, Italy.

Here below an interview of Dakota Fanning about her role as Jane (it was made just before she was confirmed for the role):

Good that they chose Dakota Fanning: I think that this young-but-well-experienced actress is a nice addition to the cast of this New Moon movie.

Here’s a first look at Dakota Fanning as Jane:

Public Enemies Trailer

Johnny Depp vs. Christian Bale - Public EnemiesJohnny Depp’s career may have started with the role of a cop in 21 Jump Street, but it seems that ditch this early character for more villainous roles afterward: being a pirate in POTC, a serial killer in Sweeney Todd. He confirms his interest for dark characters in Public Enemies in which he plays the role of John Dillinger the gangster from the 1930s. Here below the first official trailer of Public Enemies:

Public Enemies Movie Trailer

Christian Bale on the other hand sticks to to the lawful side with roles like Batman, John Connor in Terminator, and FBI Agent Purvis in Public Enemies.

That’s probably why Johnny Depp is way better than Christian Bale!

Mad Max 4 Movie

Mad Max 4 MovieDirector George Miller is considering to develop Mad Max 4 as an animated movie. Such a move would increase the odds of a fourth Mad Max movie to come out. Miller has been facing so many hurdles since his first attempt to produce Mad Max 4 in 2003: financial hurdle, Mel Gibson stating that he wouldn’t reprise his role and so on… So going animated would be a way out for Miller: an animated movie costs indeed less to produce and Miller could get rid of Mel Gibson, a former great actor who had the lead role in Mad Max but who since turned into a religious zealot.

Mad Max 4 Movie Trailer

The universe of Mad Max is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which oil has become so scarce that people are ready to kill for it and in which civilization has collapsed, giving a free reign to barbarous gangs of road punks. Just watch this original trailer of the movie Mad Max:

Miller is likely to call Japanese talents to help to develop Mad Max 4:

George Miller

The anime is an opportunity for me to shift a little bit about what anime is doing because anime is ripe for an adjustment or sea change. It’s coming in games and I believe it’s the same in anime. There’s going to be a hybrid anime where it shifts more towards Western sensibilities. [Japanese filmmaker Akira] Kurosawa was able to bridge that gap between the Japanese sensibilities and the West and make those definitive films.
[…]I’ve always loved anime, in particular the Japanese sensibility. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do.

George Miller

Quite glad that Mad Max is going to integrate a manga dimension. Much better perspective than a Mad Max 4 movie with an old Mel Gibson!

Half Blood Prince Movie

Harry Potter 6 MemoryThe upcoming movie Harry Potter 6 will unveil the origins of Lord Voldemort, we will learn how he fell for the dark side. The flashback will be introduced to Harry potter thanks to Dumbledore’s memory capsules. Here below the latest trailer of Harry Potter and the half Blood Prince:

Harry Potter Half Blood Prince Movie Trailer

The production team behind Harry Potter does not mind some nepotism: Hero Fiennes-Tiffin who plays the role of Tom Riddle, the child who becomes Lord Voldemort, is actually the 10-year-old nephew of Ralph Fiennes, who played the adult Voldemort in previous Harry Potter movies.

Johnny Depp Public Enemies

Johnny Depp is John Dillinger the famous heister from the 1930s in Public Enemies, an upcoming period movie directed by Michael Mann:

I definitely prefer Johnny Depp over Christian Bale. What about you? Who’s your favorite actor?

New Moon Movie in Italy

The Twilight Saga New Moon MovieThe first Twilight movie may have been a low-budget adaptation, but the new film will get more financial support: Summit Entertainment is indeed allocating more cash to the production of this Twilight sequel following the box-office success of the first film. The production team will even be able to shoot a few scenes of the movie New Moon in Italy, in Europe. We’ve got confirmation thanks to Italian movie site Bataste:

“Eagle Pictures just announced a contest in which 2 Italian fans can win a chance to visit the set. So it’s now confirmed: part of the movie will be set in our country. Currently there is no word if Summit will shoot in Volterra (where some scenes of the book take place), but it will be announced soon.”

Andrea from Badtaste

I bet many fans of Twilight will claim to be Italian just to be entitled to enlist in this contest!

I hope that this is not just a move for the production team to have some holiday abroad, and that they will really shoot some nice scenes of New Moon in Volterra: the old city looks quite beautiful.

Volterra in Italy

The movie New Moon will be released on November 20, 2009. So get ready for this second opus of the Twilight Saga!
