Two great new posters

Two awesome new movie posters have hit the web recently.

This first one is for the new one for Terminator Salvation. I have to say I am really stoked about this film now. At Wondercon this year for my work I had the amazing opportunity to meet and chat with a few of the stars behind the film, including Moon Bloodgood, Bryce Dallas Howard, Common, Anotm Yelchin, and director McG, who actually commented on my Leonidas-like beard and abs... watch the end credit sequence of the EP episode here :) Anyhow, check out the poster.

And the second poster which just hit the interwebs today is for the long awaited Where the Wild Things Are movie, which is still slated for release on October 16th, '09. Finger are tightly crossed on this one.

Ahh, can't wait :)

Terminator Salvation poster

Care of Latino Review comes this sweet one sheet poster for Terminator Salvation. Looks awesome! Much better than that crappy image we saw from the Licensing Expo a while back.

And speaking of Terminator, here's a rundown of what happened at the Terminator panel at comic con. pretty cool stuff. I'm definitely ready to see more of this. Apparently the next new trailer will be shown in front of Quantum of Solace on Nov 7th, and the film itself comes out May 22nd, 2009.

SDCC preview pics

EW.com, has a good little photo feature on next weeks comic con in San Diego, featuring some 28 photos. I'd recommend you browse through all their pics here. These are previews of pics and posters that should show up next week but are hitting the webernets a bit early.

The two that stand out the most to me are Christian Bale as John Connor from Terminator Salvation, and Korean pop sensation Rain covered in blood from the set of the Wachowskis bros film, Ninja Assassin. Very nice.

Check out more at the EW preview page, including a pic from the upcoming Enders Game comic book.

The T-800

In another bit of Terminator Salvation news, we now reportedly have a new T-800. That was the model played so aptly be Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original films. It's also been a bit of a worry for fans as to how the new planned trilogy would deal with the lack of a Govenator. Well our fears should be allayed now, because Austrian actor and bodybuilder Roland Kickinger has been cast in the role.

Does he look like Arnold you ask? Well not exactly, but he's honestly not too far off, and maybe more importantly he's got the chops to pull off Arnold without overdoing it. You see, he has experience... Kickinger played Arnold in an A&E biopic called See Arnold Run. Check out this video of Kickinger in action.



For more on the man that would be Arnold, check out Kickinger's website. I think this should work out well. I know after seeing that teaser, I'm definitely getting more excited. I just hope in the next trailer we'll get a little more Sam Worthington.

Terminator Salvation teaser trailer

Wow. This is a great trailer for Terminator Salvation. It's just a great tease because it gets me so pumped up. It shows you something, in fact a number of somethings, but what exactly is hard to tell. And its different than the description that leaked a little while ago. Watch for yourself and decide what you think.



I think that's pretty sweet. The shot of Bale in the fatigues, everything dusty and crumbling, the big explosion in the middle, the boot walking over the skull, and of course that great punch at the end. I mean WTF was that machine?! Whatever it was it kicks ass!

The one note I have though, is since tag line in the ad is "The End Begins", does that mean we're definitely not going to see "the Future Begins" anywhere anymore? I mean you can't have both those tags right?

Terminator Salvation opens in theaters May 22nd, 2009.

Terminator Salvation trailer description

AICN recently ran a story with a detailed description of the Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins trailer that is set to launch with The Dark Knight this summer. Here is that description in all its glory, its pretty damn cool.

" It opens with footage of people out in every day life. Christian Bale voiceovers
something like:

"I always knew it would happen"...

Than a pause...

"They told me I could stop it."

The same people begin looking to the sky....

"That I could save us"

Looks of horror come across their faces as he says,

"They were wrong"

Music rises as we cut to black for a second. The Terminator theme starts, with the duh duh,
duh, duh, duh

NEXT SUMMER appears on the screen...

We get a quick shot looking out over a sunny desert, and then a shot of Bale, in badass commando uniform and very recognizably the same guy who plays Batman, being lowered into a huge bunker of weapons.

THE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE

rolls across, and we get mixed clips from inside one of the survivor bunkers as seen in Terminator 1 - but they look more concentration campish; very crowded, shots of Bale walking with a large crowd. And then the word...

BEGINS.

The music quickly rises as we get shot of a huge truck racing down a high way, a shot or two of a helicopter flying mixed with more close ups of the actors when Bale whispers, "They're coming"

It all goes quiet.

Massive drums blare the beginning of the theme (again) but this time much louder, more pumped up, as we get a metallic silver T that morphs into a 4.

We then get the big money shot of the trailer. Its Bale on a motorcycle with some girl on the back.

They speed through a door of what looks like a warehouse toward us. As soon as they pass the screen, a huge terminator on wheels, a lot like the one they battle in the first one, smashes through the wall, chasing them. It looks awesome.

It then says:

Memorial Day 2009.

I was not a big fan of T3 aside from the ending, but this looks really good."

Nice eh? I'm definitely looking forward to this one. The movie, as it says will come out May 22nd, 2009.

-

John Connors new love?

The Hollywood Reporter is saying that Leven Rambin, who is a Young actress that's made a splash in daytime tv on All My Children is set to join the cast of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Leven will reportedly play Becky, John's new love interest.

Although I hope that doesn't mean his previously hinted at love interest won't be seen in season 2. I guess we'll just have to wait and find out. As a reminder to everyone, season 1 of Terminator:TSCC will re-air on FOX beginning this August 10th, before the premiere of season 2 on September 8th, 2008. I definitely recommend you watch it. Also the dvds are coming out on August 19th so you can just check it out then if you prefer.

Licensing Expo pics

A few pictures from the NY Licensing Show have turned up online. Check out a bunch from Ray over at his Coppermine page here, pointed via ComingSoon. And there are a few more over at AICN here and here. The best are these ones.

Robocop... coming in 2010. Now that was fast eh?



A lovely display set up for G.I. Joe... not sure what that machine is exactly.



Bad lighting on this Terminator Salvation poster... kinda lame teaser poster as well.



Can't say I'm super excited about the upcoming animated film, read more here, but man that poster is absolutely beautiful.



WWWTA. So completely awesome.

UPDATE - MTV Movies Blog has a full pic of this Where the Wild Things Are poster.

Terminator Salvation update

On the official film blog, director McG has posted another update on the state of Terminator Salvation, which has been filming for the past few weeks in New Mexico. In the post her comments on the plot saying

"This movie takes place several years after Judgment Day, but prior to 2029. Just like it took a long time to get an HD plasma screen in our world, it took Skynet a lot of research and development to get to the T-800, and this movie explores that "space between." We have all been fascinated with the world after Judgment Day. Here it is.

In this film, there are Hydrobots that patrol the water, Transports that move human prisoners around, Harvesters that collect human beings as lab rats for Skynet and Aerostats that survey all that is going on with the resistance the world over.

We've started shooting the T-600 - the bigger, grimier, nastier version that preceded the T-800.

Like Reese says, they're easier to spot but they pack a mini gun and carry kick ass fire power. They're eight-foot tall killers that prowl the badlands looking for anything with a heartbeat to terminate.

Stan Winston, Production Designer Martin Laing and ILM came up with the designs and that thing is on Kyle Reese's ass throughout the entire picture. Wanted to achieve that bummer, rubbery skin, prosthetic look that cloaks an unrelenting machine with a singular focus of killing."

Sounds pretty sweet. I'm a fan of future tech that's not overly advanced somehow. Also, McG addresses the recently leaked supposedly HUGE SPOILER that I won't print here but can be found here. He says pretty clearly that it is in fact Not True.

And finally, McG addresses the issues people were having over the planned PG-13 rating citing Batman Begins for the inspiration.

I have to say, I'm getting much more interested in how this movie playes out the more I hear about it. Hopefully we'l lstart to see some images soon.

Warners next summer

IESB has a wonderful article about the tentpole movies set to come out next summer from Warner Brothers. Obviously this year their tentpole, and by that I mean big summer films they expect to do gangbusters, included Speed Racer, Get Smart and The Dark Knight. These are the movies that they will throw their full weight behind. Movies that can generate buzz, and will receive the choicest advertising budgets. They are the movies that will make the company a winner for the year. So far their batting average this year isn't doing so hot. Speed Racer has not done anywhere near as well as they hoped, or as you know I think, it should have. And I have some concerns about how well Get Smart will do as well.

But next summer is the really tricky thing. What exactly is Warner's to do??? They've got one big movie already in production for next summer, Terminator: Salvation. But as the article mentions they would probably like to have at least one or two others. And while theres still a little bit of time to rush something into production, it'll definitely have to be quick. This my friends is still fallout from the writers strike, and if the actors go on strike, we're in even more trouble. After Warner's other planned event movie for summer '09 Justice League fell apart in Australia a few months ago its going to be a bit of a scramble for them no matter what now.

In terms of possibilities there look like a few. All of these films have scripts that are ready or almost ready and the potential to be awesome

Supermax is one, which just recently acquired the subtitle Green Arrow. sounds like it could be good. The story is about the superhero, Green Arrow, but its not at all what you'd imagine. Its actually a prison movie. The story follows Oliver Queen (the Green Arrow) as hes tossed in jail for a crime he didn't commit alongside a number of criminals he helped put there. Apparently there's only 10 minutes or so of him in costume, and the rest of the film is him first trying to survive in prison as a wanted man, and then teaming up with his former enemies to break out and try to clear his name. Latino Review has a great little run down that explains it better than me.

The only other straight superhero film on the board, a sure fire for the summer, that's close to ready is Billy Batson and the Legend of Shazam.... yes thats the full title of the Shazam film. While details are slim on this film, we do know that Dwayne The Rock Jonhson has been cast as the villain Black Adam. All that said, apparently some at WB still have hope for the Justice League film to come back together, although all indications seem to point to that not hapening.

The other two possibilities are interesting ones. First in the long awaited Johnny Quest film, which IESB speculate may be being eyed up by director Peter Segal, who is just finishing up promoting his newest film Get Smart. And second is the film that I am really rooting for being put into the fast-track fro development, the He-Man movie. I spoke a bit about this before, but if you want the real scoop, go read Latino Review's excellent script review that they recently published. They really got me excited about the possibility of this film, which sounds just totally badass. The script they read is not comic at all, its a serious sword and sorcery film, with what they call a perfect blend of technology and magic. They give the script an A+. Go check their post for more on the film including some direct material from the beginning, it sounds fantastic. Oh and the film is currently called Greyskull: Masters of the Universe.

Whatever happens, you can bet it will happen soon. I'm very interested to see what Warners gets up to next summer. And for that matter what everyone else is planning too. One would presume the writers strike has dented the other studios summer plans as well. And with the potential SAG strike looming, everyone might have to scramble just to make ends meet next year. My hope is that a bit of desperation makes people work all the harder for me. For some insight into next summer from the other studios, check out this wiki list of set releases. And expect more on all of this to come, as its announced.

More sci fi casting

Well it looks like the casting bandwagon is being jumped on again. I sure hope there isnt an actors strike this summer. Man that would really suck bigtime. Although I'm not sure how good its looking at the moment, assuming level heads prevail we've got some more casting coming at you for the big screen.

Bryce Dallas Howard looks to have stepped into Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins as Kate Connor (aka Kate Brewster, the role originated by Claire Danes in Terminator 3). Kate is, as we should all be able to tell, John Connor, to be played by Chrisitan Bale's wife. She is a resistance fighter in her own right who is not afraid to get her hadns dirty as is evidenced by her sending Arnie back in time for the events of Terminator 3 after John was killed. Of course that all took place in a non existent timeline now ;) so it hardly counts. Howard is in negotiations still as she will be coming into the role taking over for Charlotte Gainsbourg who apparently has to drop out due to a scheduling conflict. Presumably the role will be one that spans all three of the proposed new films, but no official word on that has been revealed. Terminator 4 meanwhile has quietly started filming in New Mexico for its planned May 22nd 2009 release.

On another note, Roland Emmerich's sci fi disaster film 2012 looks like its picked up some authority. Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, and Oliver Platt are all in talks to join the movie as the president, the first daughter, and the chief of staff respectively. Assuming all works out they will join John Cusack in the reported just under $200 million, end of the world epic which will tell the story of survivors trying to make a life for themselves in a decimated new world. Set to begin shooting in July, assuming theres no strike, 2012 will aim for a July 10th, 2009 release.

Casting for three

There were a few nice little tidbits of casting this past week that should definitely be mentioned. Let's start with the big screen first.

In a great comic move, Dwight Schrute himself, the very awesome Rainn Wilson has been cast in Transformers 2. This after the almost casting of Jonah Hill as Shia's college roommate a month or so ago has led many to speculate that Bay has designs on a funnier sequel than the original. In the movie Rainn will have a small but integral role as a college professor to Shia. Additionally, despite the recent casting of Australian beauty Isabel Lucas, The Hollywood Reporter says that uber hottie Megan Fox will also reprise her role in the sequel. They will be joined once again by Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, and John Tuturro. Oh and on the robot side, somewhat surprisingly, after his fateful end in the first movie, it looks like Jazz (the token black Autobot) will be returning for more punishment. I wonder if Pontiac just paid a bundle to get him back in. The rumor has it there will be about 10 robots featured on each good and bad side this time around.

Onto the small screen, the second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has me very excited. And they've just cast one of my all time favorite singers in a regular role on the show. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Garbage lead singer, and Scottish beauty Shirley Manson has been cast in the show as "Catherine Weaver, the CEO of a cutting-edge high-tech company." I'm definitely excited to see how her character will play into the show. Especially after the way last season ended. My guess is she will be the big baddie for season 2. Not sure how much acting she's done before, but I really used to have a crush on her, and she's obviously a fantastic singer, so I think this'll be a good enough match. :)

Finally a new show has found a lead. If you'll remember a little while ago I posted about a new tv show coming this fall onto FOX from Battlestar Galactica helmer Ronald D Moore, called Virtuality. Well the show has now found its lead in British actor James D'Arcy. D'Arcy who is actually pretty accomplished hasn't broken stateside, although he has appeared in a number of films, including Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World; here's hoping Virtuality is the ticket for him. Not quite at the series stage there is a pretty great pedigree going into the Virtuality 2 hour backdoor pilot being prepared for the Fall. The pilot, obviously one of a number, being created by BSG helmer Ronald Moore, is set to be directed by none other than Peter Berg. In the hard sci fi series, D'Arcy will play a spaceship psychiatrist, who alongside tending to Earths first manned craft set on a 10 year journey to explore the distant stars, is also the producer of the virtual reality experience that the ships crew uses to endure the voyage, by assuming new identities and going anywhere they can imagine. While the show has the obvious potential to be one long, bad holodeck episode of TNG, I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt; for now.

Good news all around really. Casting is so much fun :) We'll now just have to wait and see how these projects shape up in the weeks and months to come.

Terminator 4 begins

Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, apparently a name that's going to be stuck with for a while yet, has officially begun production and there is now an official website / blog to keep us up to date on all things Terminator film. Director McG posted a nice statement peaking about how he's really stoked and intends to honor the franchise and try his hardest not to screw up. Read it here. And he also posted some concept art from the film.

Very nice eh? Anyhow, the movie, starring Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, and Anton Yelchin is set for release May 22nd, 2009.
-

Common in T4

Despite the rather depressing news this week that McG and the men behind Terminator 4 are apparently aiming for a PG-13 rating. We do have some good stuff on the casting side of things. The rap-tor (I think that's a word 'rapper + actor') Common has been cast as a freedom fighter and one of John Connor's confidants.

Joining the ranks of Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, and Moon Bloodgood, my guess is at least one of the inner circle will turn out to be terminators in disguise. Although I doubt it will be Common, I think he'll definitely buy it in the film. The black guy always buys it in war films.

I sure hope this film is good.
-

Bloodgood joins T4

Super hottie Moon Bloodgood, of small screen fame, has reportedly been cast in the feature film Terminator 4. Bloodgood, if you'll remember played the super hot wife to Taye Diggs in the short lived sci fi show Day Break. And then starred as the super hot almost girlfriend and fellow time traveler opposite Kevin McKidd in last season's Journeyman. Both are shows I watched and really enjoyed; also both are shows that failed to find a commercial audience. But I don't think anyone can blame poor, hot Moon for that. And it's funny to note that the one constant in Bloodgoods work, besides the sci fi, and time travel angle is that shes always super hot. So I suppose its only fitting that she takes her place in yet another sci fi time travel story, as another super hottie.

Bloodgood will reportedly play "a no-nonsense and battle-hardened member of the resistance who is carrying a lot of guilt over surviving the nuclear holocaust." Filming is supposed to start on May 5th, for a summer '09 release. Very nice...

oh and as a semi related side note, TV Guide is reporting that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has definitely been picked up for a second season, despite the fact that FOX still won't acknowledge it.
-

Yelchin as Reese

Anton Yelchin, the actor who brought you such roles as 'that kid from Alpha Dog', and the underwatched Charlie Bartlett is soon to be a household name in J.J. Abrams new Star Trek film. But, either because he's leading a charmed life, or he's just really that good an actor, Yelchin is now reported to be 'in talks' for another great role in a huge franchise, The Terminator.

Yelchin is in negotiations to take on the role of Kyle Reese, the father of John Connor and badass resistance fighter played by Michael Biehn in the first Terminator film, for McG in the upcoming Terminator 4 film. According to the Hollywood Reporter story "Reese, one of the children who survived a machine-driven nuclear holocaust, befriends Marcus (Sam Worthington), an early edition of the Terminator cyborg played in previous films by Arnold Schwarzenegger. " Interesting eh? I don't think it had been revealed that the character, Marcus was going to be a terminator himself... Isn't he supposed to be the star of the new series? How is that going to work???

As a side note the story goes on to indicate that Crash writer / director Paul Haggis is in talks to work on the script for the sequel. Could the director's chair be far behind? or is that maybe just wishful thinking. We'll definitely have to keep an eye on this one.

Oh an on a semi related topic, a viral site, that AICN speculates is connected to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has popped up online at www.enitechlabs.com. There are seven videos so far on the site that explain how the company is tracking tachyon particles to 'take pictures' of the future. Watch at your own risk, while I haven't made it through them all I hear the last one is a bit crazy.

TV on the rebound

Finally there are a few things to watch on television. Finally, finally I won't have to wait through another round of My Dad is Better than Your Dad, or the dreaded Moment of Truth. The times they are a changing. It seems like development deals are all over the place these past two weeks or so, and spirits are high with old shows finally starting to return to the airwaves and new shows getting their due. The writers strike may have claimed a few casualties along the way, but ultimately it was a necessary step that I think really will help the industry. Now the question remains, will SAG follow suit and walk off the job this coming summer... Hopefully that's not why the deals seems so fervent recently, hopefully people aren't just working in desperation preparing for the next big blow. We'll have to see where we are in a while...

For now lets be happy. Lost is, and has been going strong for the last few weeks, Juliet's episode not withstanding. This past weeks Sun and Jin story was simply fantastic, and next week we'll finally get to see what happened to Michael in this seasons mini cliffhanger. Very exciting stuff. I thought that the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles finale was excellent. Brian Austin Green as an addition to the cast is perfect and if a second season does get approved I sure hope he returns permanently. Breaking Bad has a wonderful season finale. And some of the new shows that are starting up like New Amsterdam show potential. It's a good time for tv.

The really solid show that no ones watching Friday Night Lights has been renewed for a third season. This show has been on the verge of cancellation for a while now, but this new deal NBC has struck is really interesting. According to Ausiello's report over at TV Guide, NBC has partnered with Direct TV and will share costs on the show. Direct TV will probably getting first crack at airings, followed in suit by NBC. Weird I know, but anything to keep the show on the air is good.

And speaking of shows that you thought were gone getting a comeback, NBC looks to be renewing the uber long, and mostly annoying ER for a 15th season. sigh... just so long as my hero John Stamos has a job. In actually exciting news though the rumors of Scrubs return for a final season look to really by true. Scrubs is going back into production for an 18 episode final season, only its moving over to ABC!

New shows are making their appearances all over the place too at the moment. Obviously New Amsterdam, but there's Canterbury's Law (apparently a courtroom version of House), Unhitched, Oprah's Big Give all of which have had premieres in the last few weeks. And upcoming shows Miss Guided (which I think honestly looks funny), and The Return of Jezebel James. I haven't had a chance to check these all out but whether they last or not, I definitely would like to investigate more. Metacritic has a good run down of shows upcoming for this mid season.

Old fun shows like How I Met your Mother (with upcoming guest star Britney Spears! and new love interest Sarah Chalke!), Big Bang Theory, and I believe New Adventures of Old Christine are returning with new episodes this week. And ratings powerhouse Grey's Anatomy is coming back in two or three weeks as well. Of course my wife is probably most excited about the premiere of the new (and British) Bachelor series. But I personally am more into the new season of South Park which started this past week, and the always entertaining Big Brother.

The Hollywood Reporter has put together a snazzy little article about shows 'on the bubble' and where we might find them once upfronts are announced for next season. Check out their list as well. Some of the things I find it most interesting that they speculate that Terminator should be coming back, which is awesome, and makes sense with the buzz that is sure to grow as the new movie gears up for release. Jericho, the show saved by the fans, is not likely to make a comeback though. Rumor has it the producers had two versions of the final episode shot, one for if it gets picked up, and one if it isn't. Shows that should probably be canceled are likely to comeback: Prison Break, According to Jim, and Moonlight; and others like Reaper and Aliens in America are not. And the really ridiculous Knight Rider series looks like it will become a reality.

Finally a few brand new shows are on the horizon for us to speculate about. Totally unasked for, the CW is planning an updated version of Beverly Hills 90210. NBC looks to be signing Christian Slater into his first regular tv role as a Jekyll & Hyde style character who one day wake up from his boring suburban life to find that his alter ego is a super spy. Mitch Hurwitz, the man behind Arrested Development is putting together a new primetime animated show for FOX called Sit Down, Shut Up about a self centered high school faculty. And the short lived 90s show Cupid, about a man who believes Zeus has given him the mission of matching couples, is making a comeback on ABC in a new re-imagining.

We're sure to get more info on these and more as we move into the Spring. One thing for sure, tv is definitely on the rebound; both on air, and in development. And this revitalization is exactly what we need now. The break has far been too long. Thank goodness for television.

Worthington on Terminator

According to reports, actor Sam Worthington, once rumored to be up for the roles of both James Bond, then Duke in G.I. Joe, and currently slaving away for James Cameron on the set of Avatar, has been cast as the lead in the new Terminator film.

Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins as we know takes place after the war with the machines has been raging for a while, and is set to be a trilogy of films that will tell the story of the resistance, and, one presumes, the ultimate victory of humankind. But as I mentioned here before, the lead role, the central figure in the films, and especially this first film, will not be John Connor, now confirmed to being played by Christian Bale. The film will follow resistance soldier Marcus, about whom details are still sketchy. But reportedly might be some kind of former convict, and will definitely be pretty badass.

Whatever or whoever he is, I think that's pretty good news. It's funny when people like this Worthington guy get 'famous' in the industry before anyone really knows who they are. But to go from James Cameron to The Terminator is a pretty sure sign his star is on the rise.

Check it out and re-check it often over the next few days to get the most up to date info as everything is still in flux right now. For my money there are a couple of shows I care about that I'm very interested to see more of soon. And no I'm not just talking about Big Brother, which starts up again this Tuesday :)

From TV Guide's returning show chart here are a few selections as of 02/10 at about 4pm.

Oh and speaking of the strike, as I mentioned in my post yesterday, the WGA looks like it definitely will be holding a 48 hour member voting period to decide whether to officially accept the terms of the proposal. While it is pretty clear that the terms will be accepted, that means the strike will technically probably end Tuesday night or Wednesday morning at the earliest. That said, word is that most writers, and producers as is evidenced here, will be prepping for work to begin as soon as humanly possible once the strike ends for good.
