Matt C 455 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Looks like Disney's moving forward with a fifth POTC film, as apparently Puerto Rico has been chosen to host production over Hawaii (where the previous film was shot). No word on director or cast members, but there's supposedly a November start date.http://www.caribbeanbusinesspr.com/news/prs-film-industry-lures-land-a-whale-76212.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycket 36 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm probably in the minority, but I actually rather liked the last film.I hated the two previous ones, as it felt like both of those spent their first hours wasting time before the actual story was introduced. This one got right down to it more or less and I preferred the less zany version of Deep's character. I'd catch it on Starz or whatever, but still don't have enough interest in the franchise to go to the cinemas to see one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 455 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Well, Disney said that the fifth POTC is in production, but that the report is inaccurate.Sounds like the site let it out earlier than Disney would like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 455 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Optimus Prime has been the consistently good thing about the Bay Transformers movies... fans would revolt if Optimus was kicked out. Now, if Bay is going for a Beast Wars type film with no human cast members -- I approve. But Optimus (and voice actor Peter Cullen) have to be in the fourth film in some form.

KK 3,307 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Boy am I looking forward to this. I've never seen the musical though (but I've read the book).My only gripe with this whole film is casting Eddie Redmayne as Marius. I never liked him in what I've seen of his work.

A24 4,355 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Still looks like overacting on Ford's behalf but it's good to see him play something different. Enlarging it seems to be appropriate for the character he's playing.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmm 91 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The ridiculously far-fetched final revelation takes away the pre-requisite suspension of disbelief.It's a helluva stylish film though.Speaking of which, not too long ago I saw a Korean flick- I Saw the Devil. Also thoroughly stylish, but a very, very nasty film. One may call the violence in this deplorable. But you can't tear your eyes away from it. One scene in particular will stick in your mind forever- the brutal murder in a moving taxi which is executed with stunning panache.A warning to those who is interested in seeking this out: I'm not kidding about the violence. It's positively one of the most morally depraved stuff I've ever watched, and you get the feeling the filmmakers built the entire conceit of the film on these depraved grounds. A+ for technical filmmaking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmm 91 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I've never seen A Serbian Film, but the thing with I Saw The Devil is that the filmmaking qualities are top notch throughout. The photography, direction, performances, editing. Ok, the story does get a bit too far up its ass like many Korean stories do, but the main fault (or strength, depending on your viewpoint) lies in its conceit of forcing the viewer into living with, and even appreciating, the moral depravity of it all.

Matt C 455 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 In what should be non-news, Sony announced that Andrew Garfield will return to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man in 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and confirmed Marc Webb will return to direct. Emma Stone is expected to reprise her role as Gwen Stacy, but she's reportedly "in talks" to confirm her involvement (i.e. negotiating for a higher paycheck). I don't know if Horner will return for the sequel, but I'm pretty sure his theme will be used regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,355 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 With echoes of Taxi Driver and Fight Club, this award-winning directorial debut film from Blade Runner Special Edition producer Charles de Lauzirika sees a mentally unstable crime scene photographer spiraling into darkness, madness and violent vigilantism on the gritty streets of Detroit. Also features a fantastic supporting turn from Ron Perlman (Hellboy) as a grizzled cop whose seen more than one murder too many. - SoundOnSighthttp://vimeo.com/45464265Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
