New Set Images of Daniel Craig from the New James Bond Film, SKYFALL

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 3rd, 2012 at 11:00 am

Production is currently underway on the 23rd film in the James Bond franchise, Skyfall, and Daniel Craig has been spotted filming some cardio-heavy scenes. The first official still from the pic was released a few days ago, in which we saw Craig wielding a gun. These set photos may seem a bit redundant, as they again show Craig as Bond wielding a gun. The actor was apparently filming a scene that required him to run, and he’s also wearing a handy-dandy earpiece. Not much is known about the plot, but director Sam Mendes has assembled quite the cast so I’m very much looking forward to the next Bond entry.

Hit the jump to check out the set photos. The film also stars Javier Bardem, Naomie Harris, Ben Chaplin, Judi Dench, Berenice Marlohe, Helen McCroy, Albert Finney, and Ralph Fiennes. Skyfall opens November 9th.

First Official Image from the New James Bond Film, SKYFALL

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 1st, 2012 at 7:12 am

A few weeks ago, I noted with confusion that an image of Daniel Craig chilling by a pool was an odd choice for the first official image from the new James Bond film, Skyfall.  Turns out I was right to be confused.  The official James Bond Facebook page has released what they’re calling the first official image from Skyfall and they should know.  The image looks far more “Bond”-ian in that is has James Bond holding a gun and…James Bond holding a gun.  He’s a neat room, though.  It looks like he wandered into a level of Perfect Dark.

DREAM HOUSE Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: January 24th, 2012 at 7:00 am

When a studio dumps a horror movie, or any movie, it usually comes after some tinkering. Sometimes things don’t come out the way they were expected, and they try to fix what they can, or make it a harder or softer cut to make it more marketable. With 2011’s Dream House, one expects a terrible movie that was butchered or messed with in such a way that the release version seems a shred of the former movie. The weirdest thing about the film is that it feels like they made the movie they set out to make. Sure, it didn’t turn out well, but at least it’s a complete thought. Jim Sheridan directs Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz in the story of a haunted family that seems like a decade-late riff on The Sixth Sense. Our review of the Dream House Blu-ray follows after jump.

This Is the First Official Image from SKYFALL?

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 13th, 2012 at 10:51 am

An image for the new James Bond film, Skyfall, is getting passed around with the claim that it’s an official image.  In terms of the framing and image quality, that certainly seems true.  But I can’t believe that an image of Bond lounging poolside is the first official look at the film.  I mean, I know 007 doesn’t mind going for a dip, but the shot doesn’t scream “Bond”.  It screams “Daniel Craig enjoys his stay at the London Four Seasons (where the shot was taken).”

I trust the source; I’m just having trouble believing my eyes.  Hit the jump to check out the image.  Skyfall stars Daniel Craig, Naomie Harris, Ben Chaplin, Judi Dench, Berenice Marlohe, Helen McCroy, Albert Finney, and Ralph Fiennes.  The film opens November 9th.

Sony Says DRAGON TATTOO Sequel Still Moving Forward

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 2nd, 2012 at 4:11 pm

While director David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is far from a box office bomb, the feature film adaptation of Stieg Larsson’s bestselling crime novel hasn’t exactly broken records. The $90 million pic has grossed a little over $60 million domestically since its release on December 20th, but given the widespread popularity of Larsson’s book series many believed the film would be performing better. While Sony has been planning on adapting all three books in Larsson’s Millennium series from the start, Dragon Tattoo’s box office performance had me wondering if their plan would be altered. My question was given an answer today, with the news that Sony is still moving forward with an adaptation of The Girl Who Played with Fire. Hit the jump for more.

Rooney Mara, Daniel Craig, and Director David Fincher THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO Interview

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: December 19th, 2011 at 9:18 pm

With director David Fincher‘s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo set to open tomorrow night, over the weekend, Sony held a press junket in New York City and I got to participate in a press conference with director David Fincher, Rooney Mara, and Daniel Craig.  As most of you know, Dragon Tattoo is the first in Stieg Larson’s Millennium trilogy and it centers on a disgraced journalist (Craig) who’s hired to investigate the mysterious 40-year-old disappearance of a young woman.  Mara plays Lisbeth Salander, a brilliant young hacker who teams up with Craig.

During the forty minute press conference, Craig and Mara talked about what they did to get ready for the film and how they made the characters their own, how Fincher got permission to use Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song,” the relationship between Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist (Craig’s character), the casting process, collaborating with Fincher, how they’ll probably shoot the sequels back to back, the amount of takes Fincher likes to do, and so much more.  Hit the jump to either read or listen to the press conference.

Bond Producer Hopes Daniel Craig Becomes Longest Serving James Bond; Says SKYFALL Reminiscent of GOLDFINGER

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 19th, 2011 at 12:52 pm

Production is finally underway on the 23rd James Bond film, Skyfall. Sam Mendes steps behind the director’s chair this time around, and recently legendary Bond producer Michael G. Wilson talked a bit about the film. Wilson says that his hope is for Daniel Craig to surpass Roger Moore’s record of playing James Bond seven times, adding “There’s really no one more passionate about making these films work than him – he’s a film maker’s dream.” To pass Moore’s record, Craig would have to appear in five more Bond films in order to bring the tally up to eight. I’m a fan of Craig as Bond and I see no reason why the 43-year-old actor couldn’t stick around for a few more years.

The Red Pill Viral Update: MEN IN BLACK 3, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, THE DARKEST HOUR and THE HUNGER GAMES

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: December 11th, 2011 at 1:25 pm

As The Dark Knight Rises revved up their viral campaign earlier this week , it overshadowed other movies in the midst of their own marketing. The Dark Knight Rises’ “Operation Early Bird” granted early access to the prologue for people close to specified IMAX theaters and a new trailer is expected to drop on Monday. However, there are other properties that are vying for your attention and your dollars, such as Men in Black 3, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Darkest Hour and The Hunger Games. Hit the jump for an update on each of these unique campaigns.

TOP 5: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, Movie Stars Portray Famous Movie Villains, TRANSFORMERS 4, QUANTUM OF SOLACE Script Problems, Kathleen Kennedy Talks JURASSIC PARK 4, TINTIN, More

by Jason Barr    Posted: December 10th, 2011 at 12:40 pm

I think there’s something to be said for coming to your own conclusions. Case in point: I may currently be at odds with 77% of the Rotten Tomatoes critic community when I say this, but I found The Sitter to be worthy of my box office dollars. Was it the best comedy I’ve ever seen? Not even close. Was it the best comedy I’ve seen in the past six months? Nope. That said, I had been looking forward to the pic over the course of covering it for this site. When the critical negativity began pouring in, I could have easily passed on the film as a result (something I’ve been guilty of in the past). Instead, I decided to check it out and I laughed (quite a bit, actually). So, what’s the moral of my story? If you want to see a movie, go see it. Don’t let poor reviews detour you from something you think you may enjoy. Use reviews as a foundation for healthy debate rather than as an excuse to not give something a chance because someone else didn’t like it.

All ranting aside, in this week’s “Top 5″ installment, you’ll be able to read all about The Dark Knight Rises and its IMAX prologue, viral campaign, and potential IMAX footage runtime. You can also see George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Rooney Mara and more portraying classic movie “villains” of their choice, get up to date on Michael Bay potentially returning to direct Transformers 4, Daniel Craig discussing the script problems that plagued Quantum of Solace, and producer Kathleen Kennedy talking Jurassic Park 4, Tintin, Lincoln, and Robopocalypse. Check out a brief recap and link to each after the jump.

COWBOYS & ALIENS Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: December 8th, 2011 at 7:13 am

The premise of Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens is readily apparent from the title, and with a cast that includes leads Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, and genre figures like Clancy Brown, Walton Goggins and Keith Carradine it’s got the right stars for a modern western. And yet the film struggled at the box office and barely crossed the hundred million dollar mark. In the age of the super-expensive blockbuster, this was a misfire. Of course marketing can always be blamed, but after watching the film it easy to see why it struggled to make an impression. As a genre mash-up, it’s not enough of one or the other to be satisfying. Our review of Cowboys & Aliens on Blu-ray follows after the jump.

Daniel Craig Talks about the Script Problems on QUANTUM OF SOLACE; Says Why He’s Encouraged for SKYFALL

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 7th, 2011 at 9:47 am

Daniel Craig is currently making the press rounds for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo so it’s only natural that people want to talk about the next James Bond film, Skyfall.  But in a recent interview, Craig explained why the script for Casino Royale is what brought him to the franchise and then how the writer’s strike is what caused Quantum of Solace to be so terrible.

Hit the jump for more including what Craig says he finds encouraging about Skyfall, which opens November 9, 2012.

Over 35 New Images from THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: November 29th, 2011 at 2:48 pm

The release of director David Fincher’s highly anticipated adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is quickly approaching, and today a plethora of new images from the film have been unveiled. While most image galleries give away 80% of the movie, the images here are used more to invoke mood than story. While we do get looks at stars Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig, there are quite a few shots of stationary objects or settings that give off the chilling vibe so expertly conveyed in the trailers. If the marketing materials released thus far are any indication of the film’s quality, we’re in for quite a ride come Christmas.

Hit the jump to check out the images. The film also stars Stellan Skarsgard, Christopher Plummer, and Robin Wright. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens December 23rd.

Set Photos from SKYFALL with Daniel Craig as James Bond in Trafalgar Square

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: November 22nd, 2011 at 4:15 pm

With The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opening in less than a month, soon we’ll be turning our attention to Daniel Craig’s next project, Skyfall, aka James Bond 23. While we don’t much to show you other than Craig looking a little haggard but dapper as always, you can be sure that more set photos will pop up between now and the film’s November 9^th release. Filming in London’s Trafalgar Square this past weekend, Craig was willing to provide as much information on the film as these pictures show (that is to say, next to nothing), but director Sam Mendes (Away We Go) was a little more candid. Hit the jump to check out the photos.

New Set Photos from New James Bond Film, SKYFALL

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 7th, 2011 at 8:57 am

The first of set photos from the next James Bond film, Skyfall, have gone online.  Filming has begun and you’ll see from these set photos…kind of nothing.  Expect a lot of that because that’s the majority of set photos, and I don’t really understand the appeal of set photos for a movie like Skyfall where there won’t be outlandish costumes or otherworldly production design.  But it’s been three years since the last Bond flick and some of you may be hard up for anything 007.

Hit the jump to check out the set photos.  The film, directed by Sam Mendes, stars Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Judi Dench, Bérénice Marlohe, Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, and Ben Whishaw.  Skyfall opens November 9, 2012.

New Posters for RAMPART, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, THE DARKEST HOUR, and SHAME

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 3rd, 2011 at 8:32 am

New posters have been released for Rampart, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Darkest Hour, and Shame.  I haven’t seen Dragon Tattoo yet so I’m not sure if Daniel Craig sprouts a Rooney Mara.  I also haven’t seen Darkest Hour so I’m not sure if the characters are more freaked out by what’s in front of them instead of the gigantic explosion behind them.  But I have seen Rampart and I think Millennium Films can do better than “Giant Woody Harrelson Face”.  I also think the tagline should try to say more than just “Corrupt Cop Movie; Go See.”  As for Shame, the French poster tries to sell the movie as sexy, and it’s absolutely not.

Hit the jump to check out the posters.  Rampart has a one-week award-qualifying run on November 23rd before opening in limited release on January 27, 2012.  The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens December 21st.  The Darkest Hour opens in 3D on December 23rd.  Shame opens in limited release on December 2nd.
