The Movie news for the week:

• Nicolas Cage is attached to The Expendables 3. Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood are in talks for the sequel to last weekends box office hit.
• The History of LEGO:
  
• Robert Downey Jr. gets hurt while filming Iron Man 3 in Wilmington, NC. He sustained a minor ankle injury while filming a stunt for the movie. The production has been halted while he recovers. I knew after I saw the one set photo of the wire stunt that they were doing that someone was going to get hurt while filming. I just hate that it was RDJ.
• John Goodman is in talks to play the role as the villain to The Wolf pack in The Hangover: Part 3. If you havent been following the news coming from The Hangover: Part 3, you might have missed some good plot points. The Wolfpack might be heading to Tijuana and might be trying to break Alan, Zach Galifianakis's characeter, out of a mental institution. Heather Graham , Mike Tyson, and Ken Jeong are all set to return for the film.
• James Gunn is in talks with Marvel Studios to direct Guardians of the Galaxy. I say, why not. He is an amazing director with some notable movies under his belt. He has done both Scooby Doo movies, Super, the remake of Dawn of the Dead, and also did a cult hit video game, Lollypop Chainsaw. I hope this happens so I can throw my money at it!

Fraggle Rock Movie Coming Soon!

The Weekend Box Office results:

1. Snow White and the Huntsman
2. MIB 3
3. Marvel's The Avengers
4. Battleship
5. The Dictator

The Movie news for the week:

• During an interview with The Telegraph, Simon Pegg talks about Star Trek 2 and what to expect from his upcoming film The World’s End. He states that Benedict Cumberbatch's character in Star Trek 2 is not Khan! He also talks about his film The World’s End being about revolution and a little different then Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead.
• James Ward Bykrit and Alex Manugian, the guys that did Rango, are working on a Fraggle Rock movie.After 7 years of many people trying to attempt the movie, there seems to be actual progress. If you happen to not know what Fraggle Rock is then you are probably to young to know anything.  Fraggle Rock was a tv show about happy-go-lucky, colorful, cave-dwelling creatures with neighbors that include tiny green construction workers called Doozers and unfriendly, giant furry monsters known as Gorgs. The series came from  Jim Henson, so naturally they are all puppets. My only question is will it be with puppets or CGI?
• Here are some recent movie release dates that have been announced:
• Independence Day 3D and Lone Ranger will be released on July 3rd, 2013
• Thor 2 is to be released on November 8th, 2013
• Robopocalypse is to be released on April 25th, 2014
• Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (Sequel to Rise of the Planet of th Apes)  is to be released on  May 23rd, 2014
• X-Men: First Class 2 is to be released on  July 18th, 2014
• Some recent surprising news has been released about The Dark Knight Rises. David S. Goyer, co-writer of the Batman trilogy, has said that Warner Brothers had plans to add The Riddler to The Dark Knight Rises as the Villian. They also had a specific actor in mind to play him. They wanted  Leonardo DiCaprio to play The Riddler. I wonder how he would have been in that role. Also news is out that The Dark Knight Rises will be 2 hours and 45 minutes, which is 12 minutes longer then The Dark Knight.
• Guy Ritchie, the directer of the famous Sherlock Holmes films, has been recruited to direct an adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. After his success of the Sherlock franchise, why would he not try and do it. They are trying to shot for something in the PG-13 range to catch the eyes of teens and twenty-something, just like Guy Ritchie did with the Sherlock Holmes films. This could be good.
• The Production still from Iron Man 3 has been released:   
  Just like they did for Iron Man 2, it shows the Hall of Armor.
  Here is some information on the characters of the film:
• Ben Kingsley is playing a villain role that is rumored to be The Mandarin (a background mastermind-type villain).
• Guy Pearce is playing Aldrich Killian, a geneticist who creates a nanotech weapon that transforms humans into cyborgs.
• Andy Lau is playing a scientist who aids Tony Stark.
• Rebecca Hall is the frontrunner to play a former science colleague of Tony’s who works with nanotechnology.
• James Badge Dale and Ashley Hamilton will likely play henchman villains transformed into cyborgs (or some kind of tech-threat).
• An armor design has been spotted on set, which suggests that either The Iron Patriot or Detriot Steel will be in the film.
• Here is James Badge Dale in The Iron Patriot/Detriot Steel armor:
  
  If you didnt know,  The Iron Patriot/Detriot Steel was worn by  Norman Osborn who was the leader of The Dark Avengers in the Ultimate Spider-Man Comic Books.

Take a break MGM!

The Weekend Box Office results:

1. MIB 3
2. Marvel's The Avengers
3. Battleship
4. The Dictator
5. Chernobyl Diaries

Now to the movie news for this week:

• Tom Cruise climbs aboard the remake of The Magnificent Seven. To me this isn't a shock that MGM wants to remake some of their classics. I am kind of mad that they are working on the remakes for  RoboCop, WarGames, Death Wish, Carrie and Poltergeist. But why would put Tom Cruise in a Western and make a western in a time where westerns are not popular? They just need to stop making movies until they come up with an original idea.
• Some recent news has rumored Christopher Nolan to be the writer of the Batman reboot after The Dark Knight Rises. Yes, you read that right. DC wants to reboot the Batman Series after The Dark Knight Rises so that they can have the Batman they want for the Justice League story. But Why?
  This has to be one of my favorite set photos from the film:
  
• Iron Man 3 has just started production and already has good news. The film has an increased budget, it went from $140 Million to $200 Million. Also Jon Favreau will be returning as Happy Hogan, Tony Stark's bodyguard.
• G.I. Joe: Retaliation has been pushed to a March 2013 release date so that it can be converted into 3D. Its not like I was going to see the movie anyways. This just gives me more of a reason not to go and see it.
• 
  

This weeks trailer releases:

• Teaser for The Watch:
  
• Trailer for The Great Gatsby remake:
  
  I don't like this at all! Its like the version with Paul Rudd needed to be remade. The bad thing is it will be in 3D! Another reason for me to hate 3D!
• The Red Band trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter:
  
  
• Trailer #3 for  Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter:
  
  
• The Trailer for On The Road:

IMAX is better then 3D!!

As always, the Weekend Box Office Results:

1. Think Like a Man
2. The Lucky One
3. The Hunger Games
4. Chimpanzee
5. The Three Stooges

On to the Movie news for the week:

• There is a behind the scenes clip of The Avengers that is almost 20 minutes long. There is no dialog in the clip to keep from spoiling the movie. There is however some well chosen background music. Check out the clip below:
  
  
• There is a set photo from Star Trek 2 that hit the web. It shows Spock in his Volcanic suit and nothing more then that. Check it out below:
  
• The final posters for The Amazing Spider-Man have been released. They add a darker tone to the highly anticipated reboot. Check them out below:
  
• Universal Pictures has announced that they will be working on a big screen reboot of The Rockford Files. There has not been many details released, but they have signed Vince Vaughn to play Jim Rockford. This role was originally played by James Garner in the TV Show. This could be a very good move or a very bad movie. It all depends on how Universal and Vince approach the movie.
• There have been more behind the scenes images released of The Lone Ranger. They show Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp meeting with Navajo leaders. Check out the images below:
  
• If you are planning to go see The Avengers Opening Night like I am, you are going to get a special treat. Warner Brothers has announced that they will be releasing a new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises before The Avengers. Thats a big announcement since The Dark Knight Rises might end up being the Movie of the Year and hopefully the Greatest Movie of All Time! I will make sure to post the trailer on the following Monday for the movie blog.
• Guy Pearce has joined Iron Man 3 as Aldrich Killian, one of the creator of the Extremis technology. When the military pulls the funding for his project, Killian turns into a villain. The movie also has Ben Kingsley playing an undetermined villain. My guess still stand that he will play the Mandarin, even though Marvel still denies this.
• Another set photo from Les Misérables have been released. This one shows Anne Hathaway & Hugh Jackman and it looks like they are singing:
  
• Christopher Nolan says that over an hour of The Dark Knight Rises was shot in IMAX format. What does this mean you ask? This means that the movie will look better, feel real, and be a better movie. The IMAX shots in this movie are double the ones in The Dark Knight and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. I don't know about you, but I can't for the movie to hit theaters.

The Hunger Games is still #1!

The Weekend Box Office results:

1. The Hunger Games
2. The Three Stooges
3. The Cabin in the Woods
4. Titanic 3D
5. American Reunion

The Movie news for the week:

• Sir Ben Kingsley is set to play a villain in Iron Man 3. He will not be the main villain or the Mandarin like many people believed he would play. This would be yet another good role for him since he does well in the villainous roles in movies.
• Here is a short film you may want to watch. It is really good for only being 5 minutes long. Check it out below:
  
• The Avengers is already getting some good reviews from the early screenings of the movie. Here is some good stuff to get you even more hyped for the movie.
  Here is a set visit video from Entertainment Tonight:
  
  
   Here is a clip called Headcount:
  
  
   Here is a clip with Captain America and Thor. They seem to be really starting to bond.
  
   Those should hold you over a little longer.
• Here is the trailer for the movie Looper I was talking about in last week's post:
  
  
• Disney is officially eyeing the sequel for The Muppets to be released in 2013. It sounds good to me, but I am kind of sad that Jason Segel will not be back to co-write the sequel.
• Paramount has set the release date for Darren Aronofsky’s Noah on March 28, 2014. The movie stars Russell Crowe as Noah and Liam Neeson as the villain.
• Bill Murray has still not decided if he wants be in Ghostbusters 3 yet. There have been many reports that state he dislikes the idea of the movie and will not be in it. Recently  Bill has said the Ghostbusters 3 is not out of question yet. My hopes that he will come on and do the picture. I never experienced the movies in theater and would like to love this movie.
