Fast And Furious Six Will Need A Seventh
FAST AND FURIOUS 5′s final scenes (along with it’s mega box-office takings) made sure a sixth entry would almost be a certainty. Now one of the franchises stars and producers, Vin Diesel, has confirmed not only this, but also a seventh film will be needed to complete the story.
With the success of this last one, and the inclusion of so many characters, and the broadening of scope, when we were sitting down to figure out what would fit into the real estate of number six, we didn’t have enough space. We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages. The studio said, ‘You can’t fit all that story in one damn movie!’ Read More...
Warner Bros Worried About ‘The Bane Problem’
The six-minute prologue for Christopher Nolan’s eagerly awaited third Batman film, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, debuted last week in four IMAX screens around the country. The trailer was uploaded last night. For most of us at THN and across the web, their reception was nothing short of fantastic. But one issue has been raised: that of Bane’s voice.
A source at Warner Bros is reported to be ‘scared to death [about] the Bane problem’ – referring to the fact that the film’s primary antagonist is pretty difficult to understand, what with his mask covering most of his face and all. Studio execs are eager for Nolan to change the sound levels, but the esteemed director claims to only want to change the sound slightly. Read More...
The Wrath Of The Titans Trailer Arrives
What with yesterdays official release of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES trailer and that of THE HOBBIT coming very soon, one can’t help but feel sorry for THE WRATH OF THE TITANS trailer, which seems to have been lost in the hype. This is a shame, particularly as it looks like a lot of swords, sandles and CG silliness. Regarding the plot, think the last fifteen minutes of Disney’s HERCULES and you’re there.
Sam Worthington, Ralph Feinnes and Liam Neeson all reprise their roles from the previous CLASH and are now joined by a badass looking Rosamund Pike. Read More...
Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows Review
Director: Guy Richie
Over the years Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic creation Sherlock Holmes has been adapted countless times. Growing up I watched with my father on sunday afternoons, both the great Basil Rathbone’s smokey gothic-style incarnation, and Jeremy Brett’s long-running television take. Even Disney got in on the act with their own animated-inspired BASIL: THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE and as much as I love Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, the less said about their comic take on arguably Homes’ most famous adventure THE HOUND OF THE BASKEVILLES, the better. That’s also not forgetting the current BBC hit show SHERLOCK starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman as a modern day Holmes and Watson.
STARRING: ROBERT DOWNEY JR., JUDE LAW, NOOMI RAPACE, RACHEL MCADAMS
JARED HARRIS, STEPHEN FRY, PAUL ANDERSON, EDDIE MARSAN, KELLY REILLY

Synopsis: Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson join forces with gypsy Madam Simza to outwit and bring down their fiercest adversary, Professor James Moriarty.

I will go out on a limb here and say that I didn’t think that the first CLASH OF THE TITANS was all that bad. Then again, I saw it on Blu-Ray nearly a year after its release and not in 3D. The movie made a ton of money at the box office and its sequel, WRATH OF THE TITANS, is already in the can and will make it to picture houses on March 30th (USA). The very first look at the film’s star, Sam Worthingon who returns as Perseus, has made it to the hallowed pages of Entertainment Weekly, and we see that Mr. Worthington is sporting a slightly lengthier barnet.

Harry Potter Retrospective: Part 8: The Deathly Hallows Part 2
To celebrate the release of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART II on DVD and Blu-Ray, we conclude this epic retrospective with a look at that very film. The excitement, the tears, the (occasionally unintentional) laughs, HPatDHp2 is the finale we hoped it would be. Join me, won’t you, as we conclude our Harry Potter retrospective.
Also, Daniel Radcliffe gets his top off. Splendid.
We start with a recap of the dying moments of part 1, as Voldemort robs Dumbledore’s grave and claims the Elder Wand, then shoots his silvery load into the sky. And that’s all you get by way of a recap. Haven’t seen the previous films? You may, MAY, not understand all that occurs. But you will get to see Emma Watson in a corset. So, y’know, swings and roundabouts.
New Stills For The Adventures Of Tintin
A bounty of new Tintin images have appeared online for Steven Spielberg’s THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN: SECRET OF THE UNICORN. It seems Señor Spielberg might have actually succeeded in the difficult task of recreating Belgium’s most famous globe-trotting journalist for the big screen. The visual style looks pretty faithful to Hergé’s original illustrations. Read More...
