Bruce Willis is really hard to kill!

As always, the Weekend Box Office Results:.
  1. Act of Valor
  2. Tyler Perry's Good Deeds
  3. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
  4. Safe House
  5. The Vow
Now the Movie news for the week:
  • William Fichtner, The Dark Knight and Prison Break, has replaced Dwight Yoakam as a villain in  Gore Verbinski’s The Lone Ranger.  Dwight Yoakam had to back out of the film due to  scheduling issues.  William Fichtner is used to playing a villain type role and I think this could be a good role for him.
  • The role of John McClane Jr. has been cast for A Good Day to Die Hard, aka Die Hard 5.  Jai Courtney, an Austrailan Actor from the show  Spartacus: Blood and Sand, will be playing the role of Bruce Willis's son. I don't if they are bringing him in to take over as lead or just to make another sequel.
    Here is a picture from a screen test with father and son:

  • Set photos from Start Trek 2 have been released and they show little of the upcoming sequel to the 2009 Blockbuster. The only thing that I thought was cool was Spock using the Vulcan Death Grip on  Benedict Cumberbatch.
    Check out the picture below:

    Also J.J. Abrams has confirmed that Star Trek 2 is being filmed in IMAX format. Personally, id rather see a film in IMAX format instead of 3D. 3D is not worth the extra money (or migraine.) I have seen only one film in IMAX format and that was Inception. It was worth the extra money and to me made the film look better. I am a huge Star Wars Fan, but I dont plan on seeing any of the films in 3D, except for the first 20 minutes of Episode 3 and and the Original Trilogy.
  • The Hunger Games is beating Twilight Eclipse in the sense of advanced ticket sells and it still has a month to go. I am not a huge fan of The Hunger Games, but I may end up seeing it. Especially if this movie can bet the crap out of any Twilight record!

  • Rumor: Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson might play Hercules in Brett Ratner's Hercules movie.
  • A new trailer for The Avengers is to be released online on  February 29th. I will make sure to find it and post it as soon as I watch it.

Thanks for reading today's post, as always leave a comment down below about anything or the question of the day, which is: 

QOTD: Do you like IMAX, 3D, or both?
