Terminator Sequel More Family-Friendly
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adventure, Science Fiction, Sequels, Upcoming Releases,
In hopes of broadening their movie’s audience, the producers of Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins have announced they’re aiming for a PG-13 stamp. This move would be a departure from the first three installments which were all rated R.
Devotees of the series might find this bit of news a little upsetting. Would a dialed-down film also mean a watered-down Terminator? Meanwhile, younger fans of the FOX series are probably thrilled by this announcement. Now they’ll get to follow along on the big screen.

Iron Man 2 Already Announced
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Box Office, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
Although a leading man has not yet officially been attached, Marvel has gone ahead and cleared a spot for another Iron Man film.
The studio, which already had options for two more sequels, immediately greenlighted the second installment after their record-busting weekend. Given that Robert Downey Jr. has been widely credited for making the well-received film a success, it’s expected he’ll be bargaining with execs for a larger paycheck. Meanwhile, Marvel is reportedly set to talk with the actor and director Jon Favreau about the follow-up’s general storyline soon.
Assuming negotiations go well, we should be expecting to see Iron Man 2 - with Gwyneth Paltrow and Terrence Howard - on April 30, 2010.

Collectors Line Up for Joker Doll

While the whole thing seems a bit morbid, I guess you kind of have to understand the reasoning.
In New York, collectors reportedly starting lining up around 4 A.M. this morning to cash in on Batman memorabilia. Their object of desire? The Heath Ledger/Joker action figure. The item, which sells for $9.99, quickly disappeared from the Times Square Toys “R” Us store and ended up on the internet within a matter of hours. (There’s nothing like a tragic death that makes an eBay seller salivate more.)
Although some hopeful profiters have been requesting nearly $50 for both the Joker and Batman figures together, a spokesperson for the toy store says they expect to be getting shipments of The Dark Knight products on a regular basis.

Where exactly can the summer box office go from here?
This past weekend, Iron Man blasted into theaters in a big way. The comic book adaptation raked in a whopping $102 million putting an $87 million difference between itself and its nearest competitor. The PG-13 film officially became the 10th best opener of all time and had the second best premiere for any non-sequel. (Spider-Man grossed $114.8 million back in 2002.)

Warner Bros. Releases Dark Knight Trailer No. 3
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Mystery, Sequels, Thrillers, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
As everyone and their mother rushed to the theaters to see Iron Man this weekend, they were in for quite a surprise as the latest teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Batman series played prior to the film.
Ever since the first screenings of Iron Man, bootleg versions of the trailer have appeared on YouTube; The Dark Knight team seems to have wanted to nip that in the butt quickly, as they ended up posting it on their official site this past weekend, which you can see after the jump.
Although the campaign for the film has bombarded us with clips and images of Heath Ledger‘s character, Joker, very little has been spoken of Aaron Eckhart‘s Harvey Dent, who ultimately becomes Two-Face. That is, of course, until this trailer, where if you look close enough, you’re able to see the scars on the side of his face when he’s holding up the gun.
Folks over at Warner Bros. just continue to keep us entertained, as they had just released new teaser posters a mere couple weeks ago (which can be viewed at Omelete). The film is set to be released in theaters July 18, 2008.

BTW—is it just me, or is Corbin Bleu completely unrecognizable in this photo? He’s almost as white as Zac Efron!

Mel Gibson Plans Acting Return
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Thrillers, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
After spending some time under the radar, Mel Gibson is apparently ready to make a return to acting.
Although Gibson has definitely been busy over the last several years, his primary focus has been on directorial work (Apocalypto, The Passion of the Christ). It’s actually been some time since Mel has placed himself in front of the camera. His last major motion pictures hit theaters back in 2002 (Signs, We Were Soldiers).
I’m sure the calculated time off also had something to do with the actor’s brush with the law. If he could manage to keep out of the limelight, people would eventually forget those anti-Semitic remarks. Right?
