New Star Wars: The Clone Wars Trailer | Movie News | 6/16/2008
I saw this trailer a few days ago and actually got goose bumps, but the quality wasn't great, so I waited to put it up online. If only George Lucas could write and direct live action movies that look as dramatic and awesome as this animated film! This piece of the Star Wars epic fills in the events that take place between Episodes II and III in the live-action narrative. Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker are now Jedi, and Anakin has taken on a Padawan apprentice, a young girl named Ahsoka, a teenage female Togruta, which is a race of red-skinned, horned aliens. Needless to say, I'm sure she's a handful. Karma is a b-tch, ain't it Anakin?Take a look at the extended, exciting new Star Wars: The Clone Wars trailer!Related• Clones Trailer Debuts on Five Networks• Use Our Online Video Guide to Watch More Star Wars read more
New Indiana Jones to Premiere at Cannes | Movie News | 4/24/2008
I wonder if TVGuide.com would want to send someone (me!!!) to cover this awesome event. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, which runs from May 14-25. Thierry Fremaux, the festival's head, said the presence of Steven Spielberg and the stars of the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones film franchise, which will premiere outside the main competition, would ensure "a magnificent red carpet," reported Reuters. Mega-stars Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett and director-producers Spielberg and George Lucas are expected to attend.The red carpet will also sizzle with the likes of Scarlett Johanson, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem who will be promoting their Woody Allen film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Other highly anticipated premieres include Clint Eastwood's The Changeling with Angelina Jolie, and Steven Soderbergh's four-hour epic, Che, based on the life of the revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Gee, seems as though... read more
Indiana Jones Cast, Producers Take Risky Route to Profits | Movie News | 4/21/2008
When Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull debuts worldwide May 22, the cast and producers won't just be taking risks in search of treasure, they'll be risking their real-life earnings from the film's profit. Eschewing the usual upfront fees that talent typically get before a film even opens, the new Indy film is set for an adventure in deal-making, in which no one gets a cut of the profit unless the movie brings home the bucks at the box office. With film production and marketing costs leaping through the roof, says the L.A. Times, Paramount Pictures set up a different kind of arrangement for the Crystal Skull, which cost $400 million to make and market. Executive producer George Lucas, director Steven Spielberg, stars Harrison Ford and Shia LaBeouf and other potential earners from the movie won't see much of a payday until that amount is recouped and exceeded. Skull's talent, though, probably don't have much to worry about. The first three of the Indiana Jones flicks earned $1.2... read more
Star Wars, Batman Headline Cartoon Network Upfront | Today's News: Our Take | 4/3/2008
With a quartet of Clone Troopers as his escort, George Lucas made a grandiose entrance to the Cartoon Network upfront Thursday morning in Manhattan. Lucas was on hand to plug Star Wars: The Clone Wars, a feature film/animated series combo coming later this year. (As previously announced, the movie premieres August 15, followed by the series on Cartoon, then TNT, in the fall. No date for the TV premiere was made.) It was the key announcement for the network, which is also premiering the Ben 10 relaunch Alien Force, and finally confirmed the rumored series Batman: The Brave and the Bold, which teams the Caped Crusader with a variety of DC Comics superheroes.Calling Star Wars "the greatest brand in entertainment history," Turner Animation COO Stuart Snyder said he personally courted Lucasfilm when he heard about the project (which went into production before a network had signed on), and "after watching five minutes they had me." For his part, Lucas calls the project "Star Wars... read more
