Sam Raimi Reveals Why He Left SPIDER-MAN 4

Back in 2009, Sam Raimi was set to direct a fourth installment of his Spider-Man series. The film was already in pre-production and began casting when the project fell apart and Sony decided to reboot the franchise instead. At that time, John Malkovich was set to play the Vulture while Anne Hathaway was also on board either as Felicia Hardy, a.k.a., the Black Cat, or a new character named Vulturess (shudder). Speaking to Vulture, Raimi reveals that Hathaway's role was indeed the Black Cat and explains why he dropped out of Spider-Man 4:

"It really was the most amicable and undramatic of breakups: It was simply that we had a deadline and I couldn’t get the story to work on a level that I wanted it to work. I was very unhappy with Spider-Man 3, and I wanted to make Spider-Man 4 to end on a very high note, the best Spider-Man of them all. But I couldn’t get the script together in time, due to my own failings, and I said to Sony, “I don’t want to make a movie that is less than great, so I think we shouldn’t make this picture. Go ahead with your reboot, which you’ve been planning anyway.” And [Sony co-chairman] Amy Pascal said, “Thank you. Thank you for not wasting the studio’s money, and I appreciate your candor.” So we left on the best of terms, both of us trying to do the best thing for fans, the good name of Spider-Man, and Sony Studios.”"

"I didn't get to see [The Dark Knight Rises] yet, because I've been working nonstop on Oz, but I hear she's great in it. I'm not surprised, because I loved what she was doing with the auditions for Spider-Man 4."

First Image of Cate Blanchette from Woody Allen’s BLUE JASMINE

Sony Pictures Classics has released the first image from writer/director Woody Allen’s latest film Blue Jasmine. The romantic comedy is described as “the story of the final stages of an acute crisis and a life of a fashionable New York housewife.” This debut image gives us a look at Cate Blanchette’s lead character, as well as Sally Hawkins lurking in the background. As is customary, we still don’t really know much about the film, but it’s a new Woody Allen movie so that kind of sells itself.

The film also stars Alec Baldwin, Bobby Cannavale, Louis C.K., Andrew Dice Clay, Peter Sarsgaard, and Michael Stuhlbarg. Blue Jasmine will open in limited release on July 26th before expanding into more theaters in the following weeks.

Final Trailer for THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is a little over a week away from hitting theaters, and Warner Bros. has released a final trailer for the film. Done in the style of an ad for Bally’s Casino, it’s a cute trailer showcasing washed-up magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi). In the film, the duo’s partnership is tested when they’re faced with hot new magician, Steve Gray (Jim Carrey). The movie also stars Olivia Wilde, James Gandolfini, and Alan Arkin. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone opens March 15th.

Synopsis: Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt’s growing ego. But lately the duo’s greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they’ve grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult followingsurges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there’s still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act—both onstage and off—if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.

2nd Trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's Sci-Fi Thriller AFTER EARTH

Sony Pictures has released a new trailer for director M. Night Shyamalan’s sci-fi film After Earth. The film stars Will Smith and Jaden Smith as a father and son who crash land on a post-apocalyptic Earth, and it’s up to the son to fight for survival when the father is seriously injured. This trailer reveals a ton of new footage as well as the reason behind the duo’s crash landing. Will Smith takes a back seat in this actioner and guides his on-screen and off-screen son through its paces, allowing him to take metaphorical (and literal) leaps on his own. *Will we accept the younger Smith as an up-and-coming action star? Will we allow Shyamalan back into our good graces? The film also stars Zoe Kravitz, Sophie Okonedo, and Isabelle Fuhrman. After Earth opens June 7, 2013.

Synopsis: A crash landing leaves teenager Kitai Raige (Jaden Smith) and his legendary father Cypher (Will Smith) stranded on Earth, 1,000 years after cataclysmic events forced humanity’s escape. With Cypher critically injured, Kitai must embark on a perilous journey to signal for help, facing uncharted terrain, evolved animal species that now rule the planet, and an unstoppable alien creature that escaped during the crash. Father and son must learn to work together and trust one another if they want any chance of returning home.

Why am I annoyed that this looks pretty awesome?

Why am I annoyed that this looks pretty awesome?

Because you know who directed it, how inconsistent they are, and are possibly worried about being disappointed? It looks amazing to me, I got kinda giddy watching the new trailer today when I saw Die Hard, but I can't help but think something went wrong.

yeah, that and now I have to see it for myself and I will be pissed if when it turns out like Airbender or the Giamatti/Mermaid movie (which were terrible enough looking to avoid).

I want to take my son to see this VERY badly. But if it has some kind of "What a twist!" moment at the end, I'll make myself vomit.

Not sure what to think of the Hangover III trailer. Looks even more chaotic than usually. I'll admit I laughed a bit at the Giraffe part though

Read extensive reviews before hand and then decide from there, don't waste your money or more importantly your son's brain cells if it is garbage.

i know this is petty but everytime i see Steve Carell, i remember an episode of "Between two ferns" with him and Zach saying "Like, I'm not going to say your character on

 

[ironchefigor]

I'd see that movie just for Olivia Wilde, cause she's smokin!

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

Time to close the thread...

 

[CrazyJHL]

When JGL was brought up for the Crow I was uncertain, then I saw the still from Hesher and I have to say, I can see it. Though, I still think he'd be an awesome Star Lord...The studio should just grab him for the crow, McAvoy, while a great actor, does not look the part at all.

David Fincher in Talks to Direct GONE GIRL Adaptation

After taking a year to find his next project, David Fincher may be ready to helm another adaptation of a popular book. Fincher is in talks to helm Fox's "Gone Girl," adapted from the Gillian Flynn novel that has sold 2 million copies. No offer is on the table yet. Reese Witherspoon and Bruna Papandrea will produce through their Pacific Standard banner along with Leslie Dixon.

Flynn's third novel, "Gone Girl" is the dark and suspenseful story of a woman who disappears on the day of her fifth wedding anniversary. It's not known if Witherspoon would be interested in starring as the mysterious wife.

A bidding war ensued last summer when the book, which spent eight weeks at No. 1 for on the New York Times bestseller list, was offered to studios, and Fox paid seven figures to outbid studios including Universal.

Fincher had been attached to direct a reboot of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" for Disney. Sources say there is still a possibility he could do that project next and hold off on "Gone Girl." In October, Variety first reported that Disney had placed a three-month hold on the director as it decided whether to move forward. During this time, Fincher began courting his frequent collaborator Brad Pitt for the role of Ned Land, played by Kirk Douglas in the 1954 film version of "Leagues."

The Pitt casting never came though, and the studio is still deciding what to do with the project, insiders say. Fincher had begun looking for other projects in case "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" fell through.
