‘Community’ Yanked From NBC’s Winter 2012 Lineup

Posted: 14 Nov 2011 08:21 PM PST

Community cast as The Avengers

I'm not sure if this is at all a shocking move, but it's definitely one that's upset its fair share of geeks.

NBC released its Winter 2012 TV schedule, and while shows like 30 Rock and a project based on the life of Chelsea Handler will be both returning and making their debut respectively, one show will not be coming back, at least this season. Community will not be returning for the Winter 2012 season, taking a hiatus that at this point has no end [...]

3D Blu-ray Review: Bolt

Bolt 3D

Bolt
3 Blu-ray Combo Pack
Directed by Chris Williams and Byron Howard
Starring John Travolta and Miley Cyrus
Walt Disney Pictures Home Entertainment
Release Date: November 8, 2011


When talking about the current state of Disney's animation side of film production (and that's Disney proper, not Pixar), things aren't as good as they have been. Animated projects are not only seeing less and less respect with critics, but frankly, they don't seem to be hitting the zeitgeist in general. However, there is the occasional gem.

Hitting theaters in 2008, Byron Howard and Chris Williams' Bolt has become something of a rarity amongst the general collection of modern day Disney animation releases [...]

Yates says that they're not rushing the project, and that two to three years will be taken to make sure they get things right, explaining that it will require "quite a radical transformation to take it into the bigger arena."

Behold Diego Latorre’s Intriguing Concept Art From ‘The Crow’ Reboot

Posted: 14 Nov 2011 10:22 AM PST

The Crow

The reboot of The Crow that has been in development for more than two years has so far gone through two directors and two lead actors and shown no signs of progress. Last month Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) departed the project and prospective star Bradley Cooper also moved on to greener pastures, but before they left Fresnadillo was working with comic artist Diego Latorre on conceptual designs for the film including many renderings of what Cooper would look like as Eric Draven, the murdered guitarist who returns from the dead to avenge his death and that of his girlfriend Shelley. You can check out a sample image here below [...]

‘Mad Max’ Director George Miller Discusses His Plans For Upcoming Sequel ‘Fury Road’

Posted: 14 Nov 2011 09:00 AM PST



"When you actually work on a film, they do invade you," renowned Australian filmmaker George Miller said in an interview with IndieWire this week while promoting his latest movie, the computer-animated sequel Happy Feet 2. "The characters, they're like imaginary characters in your head and they're sort of part of your family in a strange way. So like family, they keep on intruding."

The former physician-turned-director wasn't referring to the singing and dancing penguins of the Happy Feet movies, but rather about the characters of the Mad Max trilogy that made his star Mel Gibson an international household name and established Miller as a master orchestrator of grand scale action and emotional complexity [...]
