Transformers 3 Set Pictures released, title revealed and synopsis available!

The anxiously awaited follow up to Transformers 2; Revenge of the Fallen has finally got an official title. Transformers 3; Dark Of The Moon will be released next Summer.

Actor Shia Laboeuf, who famously injured his hand during production on 2, recently said that " the script is the best script we've had" and some recent on set photographs, seem to suggest that Michael Bay is going to a whole new level of blowing stuff up.

A synopsis of Dark Of The Moon has been released; apparently through a pop up Hasbro book now widely available on the internet shopping engine Amazon:

"The Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, are back in action, taking on the evil Decepticons, who are determined to avenge their defeat in 2009’s Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.

In this new movie, the Autobots and Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the U.S. and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky has to come to the aid of his robot friends.

There's new characters too, including a new villain in the form of Shockwave, a longtime "Transformers" character who rules Cybertron while the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on Earth".

Hmm... I was holding out for them calling it Transformers 3; Apologies for Transformers 2 but hey, you can't have everything and please, please, please; bring back Megan Fox...

Truth is... I am Iron Man

Sherlock Holmes 2- Shooting In Richmond Park

Guy Ritchie returns to direct Robert Downey Jnr, Jude Law and Rachel McAdams in the hotly anticipated Sherlock Holmes sequel currently set for December 16th 2011 release.

Fans on twitter have been tweeting away as they have begun to stumble upon parts of the set that have been built in the beautiful surrounds of Richmond Park; between Ham and London.

New are actor/comedian/renaissance man Stephen Fry as brother Mycroft Holmes and Mad Men’s Jared Harris as Moriarty. Interestingly there is no mention of Brad Pitt here; who was strongly rumoured to have been signed to play Moriarty in the sequel but nevertheless, I remain more than optimistic about this.

It apparently doesn’t have some goofy, ostentatious title like Sherlock Holmes: Rise of Moriarty which is encouraging and refreshing from what will surely become a mainstream Hollywood production; albeit with the best cast you could summon and while the original was nothing groundbreaking, it was fun to watch Hollywood heavyweights Downey and Law goof on one another for two hours, and I expect about the the same on this outing...

But with more explosions...

Hopefully...

The Hangover 2- Not Such A Well Kept Secret

"Mad" Mel Gibson is set for a cameo in the follow up to the highly successful box office comedy The Hangover...


Just a few months ago, Gibson was dead in the water; William Morris Endeavour, a Hollywood talent agency, had turned it's back on the former Mad Max star after a series of allegations culminated in shocking evidence of his wrong-doing in a court case with a former lover. Nobody in Hollywood wants to be attached to anybody accused of anti-semitism, chauvinism and domestic violence...

According to the internet however, Gibson has bagged a role in The Hangover; a move that he hopes may re-start his career. Reports suggest that Gibson was not the only star approached for the film; " We approached Tiger Woods for the second one... to help him get his image back", Director Todd Phillips stated.

The film sees the original  leads, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha and Ken Jeong all returning, and will be released next year.

Will it be the return of Mel Gibson? Probably not but when you've not just burned the bridge; you've covered it with oil from stolen containers, laced it with illegal conflict diamonds and then set it on fire with a North Korean flame thrower sponsored by the state Nuclear programme*; then I would suggest that he may as well just give it a go...


*may be an exaggeration....

And yes, Mel Gibson in the photo provided does bear more than a passing likeness to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. I assure you though, it is in fact Mel Gibson... who is not a dictator... officially.

Scream 4- Teaser Trailer Revealed...

Announced earlier this year, starring Neve Campbell, David Arquette, Courteney Cox and Hayden Pannetiere, SCREAM 4 gets it's first Teaser Trailer...

View The Trailer at THIS LOCATION:

Verdict:

The Scream movies defined a generation of fear and yet were total self parodies of themselves. Director Wes Craven returns to the director's chair for this belated 4th installment to the saga. What we can see here looks pretty good though; with the movie seeming to be a fresh take on it's own genre and taking the lessons of the horror movies of the last few years. I reckon Ghost Face may well be Gail Weathers here; since she's probably after some fame since the murder's have died down.

What does everybody else think?

Angelina Jolie wins back Filming Permit for Bosnian War Epic

Actress Angelina Jolie (Salt, Changeling) has won back a permit to film her directorial debut in Bosnia, her producer has said.


Permission to shoot there was withdrawn last week after the Bosnian Government said that no screenplay had been attached to the application made by Jolie and her production crew; and that they could not, by law, grant one without it.

This will come as good news for the production, which has already been hit with rumours that the story will focus on a torturer falling in love with his/her victim; a plot point that Jolie and her camp have steadfastly denied. Nevertheless, it has meant that the as-yet-untitled film has drawn negative press from women's right's activist. And Jolie herself had this to say that it would be a shame if
"unfair pressure based on wrong information" prevented her crew from shooting her film."My hope is that people will hold judgment until they have seen the film," said added.

Bakira Hasecic, a women's rights activist from an opposition group, told The Associated Press that she had tried to meet Jolie since August, when she first heard about the film's possible plot.

"We expect to meet with her now finally and we hope she will convince us that what we were suspecting and what we were afraid of is not true," she said...

In other news:

IT HAS all the ingredients of a Hollywood epic, with Avatar director James Cameron planning to retell the story of Cleopatra – casting Angelina Jolie in the starring role and Brad Pitt as her lover Mark Antony.
The prospect of Cleopatra in 3D is “tantalisingly close” according to Hollywood insiders, with Jolie keen to play the Egyptian ruler, most famously brought played by Elizabeth Taylor in Joseph Mankiewicz’s 1963 version.
Cameron’s last two offerings, Titanic (1997) and Avatar (2009), are the two highest- grossing films of all time at 1.8 billion and 2.7bn respectively, but his 3D Cleopatra isn’t a guaranteed hit, say observers.
Steven Gaydos of Variety magazine, said: “Cleopatra would likely cost hundreds of millions of dollars. It would be seen as risky because the biggest Jolie films have not performed at the level required to recoup their costs.” — © The Times, London

PINEWOOD GROUP HAS BLOCKBUSTER YEAR

PINEWOOD GROUP HAS BLOCKBUSTER YEAR

Is the British Film Industry really in that much of a state? It's a debate we've been discussing here since I started the blog and I have sought across the web to give you the most up to date information I can find...

I found this article, it's old but it's good.

"Film studio Pinewood Shepperton trumpeted a 'strong' start to the year after playing host to a slew of big-budget pictures, including Clash of the Titans and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Demand has remained buoyant for its movie lots, editing suites and other post-production services, the group reported in a trading statement.
Television revenues continue to bounce back from the steep downturn of last year, with Pinewood (unchanged at 135.5p) working on a raft of hit shows such as Ant and Dec's Push the Button and Would i lie to You? "

So that was back in March/April...

What now...

With the arrival of Dragons Den, which recently transferred production there, and now War Horse and the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film all taking up residence in the fabled stages of Shepperton and Pinewood... I think we can assume that, despite doubts from Hollywood about the axing of the UKFC, the gears continue to grind...
