First Look: Bana and McAdams in The Time Traveler’s Wife
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: New Line, Warner Bros, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Oh dear. If a two-minute trailer can get me teary-eyed…I doubt I could ever make it through the book.
Rachel McAdams, thanks to her performance in The Notebook, has already proven a talent for weepy romances. Now it looks as if she will do it again.
In The Time Traveler’s Wife, McAdams stars as Clare, the wife of a man with a rare genetic disorder. Eric Bana (Star Trek) plays Henry DeTamble, the husband who has no control over his random journeys. The story is based on the Audrey Niffenegger novel of the same name.
Look for the adaptation to unfold in theaters on August 14.

Whedon Confirms Non-Involvement in Buffy Remake
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Adventure, Classics, Drama, Horror, Remakes, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
We can all stop holding our breaths: Joss Whedon will not be involved with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer remake. In other words, do not pay money to support this film when it comes out.
Okay, so perhaps that’s a little mean of me; it’s hard not to be such a protective fan of the Whedonverse.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly about Dollhouse, Joss confirmed what we were all dreading: “I believe [the producers] did ultimately reach out to my agent after the news broke. I think that’s something better left untouched by me. So, I wish them luck.”
I’m pretty sure that they’ll need lots of that, anyway.

Mark Millar Already Plotting Kick-Ass Sequel
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Mystery, Satire, Sequels, Comedy, Thrillers, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
Despite the fact that Mark Millar has yet to finish neither the first arc of his Kick-Ass comic nor the film adaptation of it (he has so far only published six issues in thirteen months), the Scottish author already wants the sequel to shoot within two years.
“Kick-Ass 2 is already being plotted out. We’re planning it, because all the actors are quite young and we have to make it relatively quickly. So we’ll definitely do that inside the next 18 to 24 months,” he told Sci-Fi Wire.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Documentary, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Whatever your feelings about Michael Moore are, there’s one thing that cannot be denied: He knows how to get people talking.

IMAX Delay for Half-Blood Prince
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Technology, Upcoming Releases,
Warner Bros. may be sticking firm to its third Half-Blood Prince release date, but that won’t prevent delays for the film.
Due to a conflict with a previously scheduled blockbuster, most IMAX theaters (aside from one in New York in one in LA) will not be able to show Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince until July 29. That equates to a two-week delay from the July 15 premiere.
What will be occupying those theaters up until that point? Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The Paramount feature has a month-long commitment starting with its June 26 debut.
