Tyrese Gibson

Exclusive: Tyrese Gibson Talks TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON, FAST FIVE and FAST SIX, Music, Twitter, His Book, More

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: July 5th, 2011 at 6:55 pm

Shortly before Transformers: Dark of the Moon was released, I got the chance to speak with Tyrese Gibson on the phone.  Since I hadn’t yet seen the film, I couldn’t ask specific questions about the plot or his character.  However, since I was able to visit the editing room earlier this year, where I also saw about 15 minutes of the film before its release, I knew enough about the story and the insane Chicago action sequence that we had plenty to discuss.  In addition, Gibson talked about Fast Five and Fast Six, filming Transformers in 3D, if he has the desire to direct, how he ended up writing a bestselling book (How to Get Out of Your Own Way), his new album Open Invitation, Twitter, and a lot more.  Hit the jump for the audio and transcript.

A last-minute trailer for Transformers: Dark of the Moon has been released, along with a couple of new posters. There’s quite a few new shots to be seen here, and this one really ramps up the action. With Michael Bay doing all he can to ensure that the 3D prints are projected at the highest quality possible, this is gonna be one hell of a visual experience.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer and posters. The film stars Shia LaBeouf, John Turturro, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Patrick Dempsey, Kevin Dunn, John Malkovich, and Frances McDormand.  Transformers: Dark of the Moon opens in 3D on June 29th.

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: June 24th, 2011 at 1:07 pm

Paramount has sent over some video and a bunch of images from the Transformers: Dark of the Moon premiere in Moscow.  So if you’d like to see Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Patrick Dempsey, John Malkovich, the band Linkin Park, and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura on the green carpet, hit the jump.  In addition, the video the studio sent over mixes footage from the premiere with cast interviews.

As I said when I posted the clips earlier today, I can’t wait to see TF3 next week.  Everything I’ve seen tells me it’s going to be a really fun ride.

8 New Images from TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 13th, 2011 at 11:42 am

Eight new images from Transformers: Dark of the Moon have been released.  This proves yet again that the movie exists and that it will feature actors and giant robots.  Thank goodness.  I’m glad we could clear that up.

Hit the jump to check out the images. The film stars Shia LaBeouf, John Turturro, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Patrick Dempsey, Kevin Dunn, John Malkovich, and Frances McDormand.  Transformers: Dark of the Moon opens in 3D on June 29th.

New Trailer and Clip from TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 20th, 2011 at 12:55 pm

The new trailer for Transformers: Dark of the Moon has gone online. If you want to see the trailer in 3D, it’ll be playing in front of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides starting today.  This new trailer is very similar to the first one. It’s just as impressive, and the epic nature of the flick is very prominent. As much as I want to look forward to this, I’m still wary given how cool the trailers for Revenge of the Fallen looked compared to how terrible the actual film was. Nevertheless, the Chicago set-piece looks positively massive. The clip features Josh Duhamel’s character and a bunch of guys jumping out of an aircraft, which is much more exciting than the first clip that consisted of a pissing contest between Shia LaBeouf and Patrick Dempsey.

Hitting 3D theaters on June 29th, Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Tyrese Gibson, Patrick Dempsey, and voice work from Hugo Weaving, Peter Cullen, and Leonard Nimoy. And if you missed it, be sure to check out Steve’s report from Michael Bay and James Cameron’s recent presentation on 3D here. Hit the jump to check out the trailer.

TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON Trailer and First Official Synopsis

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 28th, 2011 at 2:49 pm

The theatrical trailer for Transformers: Dark of the Moon has landed online. We see some pretty fantastic looking footage on the moon, followed by some really impressive stuff back on Earth. We’re talking full-on invasion this time around. We get our first look at Frances McDormand as well. However, as we all know from the second flick Revenge of the Fallen, simply watching robots fight for 2+ hours does not a good movie make (understatement). This one has to be better than Revenge of the Fallen, right? Hitting 3D theaters on July 1st, Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Tyrese Gibson, Patrick Dempsey, and voice work from Hugo Weaving, Peter Cullen, and Leonard Nimoy.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer along with the first “synopsis” and a new still from the movie.  I put “synopsis” in quotations because it’s more of a logline and not a particularly illuminating one at that.

Will the FAST AND FURIOUS Franchise Ditch the Street Racing for a Series of Heist Movies?

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: April 25th, 2011 at 8:23 pm

The Fast and the Furious series is one of the major gaps in my male cinematic knowledge.  I am too effeminate, too pretentious.  However, I have much respect for the continued success of the franchise after the 2009 surge to a series-best $353 million worldwide box office with Fast & Furious.  Fast Five opens this Friday, and the smart money is on “Major Hit.”  The producers wisely tapped into the core appeal of the films and secured virtually every major player in the series — including Vin Diesel, Paul Walker,  Jordana Brewster, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang — and upped the ante by casting potential action god Dwayne Johnson.

Pretend you’re a studio executive for a second.  At this point, you wouldn’t reinvent the market’s premier car movie brand to cater to someone like this silly writer, right?  And yet, Universal chairman Adam Fogelson is discussing just such a shift.

Chris Morgan — screenwriter on Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, and Fast Five — was previously hired to start work on a sixth film.  Deadline reports the sequel is set up to revolve around a robbery: “Universal’s intent is to transform this street racing franchise into a series of heist films.”  More after the jump.

New Interactive Trailer for FAST FIVE

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: April 19th, 2011 at 8:05 pm

Unless you’ve been living in the land of horse and buggies for the last ten years, you know that The Fast and the Furious franchise has dominated theaters with big muscles and bigger engines. With the fifth installment, Fast Five, ready to open in less than two weeks, a new interactive trailer has popped up that is chock full of extra gearhead information. Like, did you know that the car Vin Diesel and Paul Walker drive off the cliff is a 1966 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport? Or that Jordana Brewster looks smokin’ hot in a 1966 Ford GT40?

The film stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Tyrese Gibson, produced by Neal Moritz and directed by Justin Lin. Fast Five is set to be released on April 29^th. Hit the jump to check out the new interactive trailer.

10 Clips from FAST FIVE

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 12th, 2011 at 9:36 pm

Universal has sent over 10 clips from director Justin Lin’s Fast Five which stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Matt Schulze, Tego Calderon and Don Omar.  The latest chapter in the franchise is set in Rio de Janeiro and features a federal agent (Johnson) hot on the trail of a jail-skipping Dom Toretto (Diesel).

Even though I know exactly how this film is going to play out, I’ll admit the trailers and clips have definitely sold me.  What can I say, I like my popcorn movies.  Also, with an April 29 release date, the film is one of the first big summer movies and it’s going to make a ton of money.  After all, who doesn’t want to see Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson fight?  As producer Neal Moritz told me:

“They beat the shit out of each other, we shot for probably four days of them literally beating the shit out of each other. The audience is gonna be like ‘wow’.”

I can’t wait.  Hit the jump to watch the clips.

3 New Images from Michael Bay’s TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: March 30th, 2011 at 6:35 pm

Three new images from director Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon have hit the net today.  Featuring Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel and some huge explosions, the images are a reminder to not forget about one of the biggest films of 2011.

While most fans were let down with Transformers 2 (myself included), I’m so excited to check out Bay’s first 3D movie.  Also, after visiting the editing room a few months back and getting to see a lot of the movie, I can promise you that Transformers 3 is not going to disappoint.  July 1st cannot arrive soon enough.  Hit the jump for the images:

New Posters for FAST FIVE and MIDNIGHT IN PARIS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 17th, 2011 at 2:49 pm

Universal has just released a new poster for Fast Five that doesn’t emphasize the cars or even the actors.  No, this new poster puts the emphasis on a clear blue, tranquil sky, because when I think of the Fast and the Furious franchise, I think tranquility.  Also, I’m definitely not a fan of the “Summer begins April 29th” tagline.  The summer movie season begins the first Friday in May.  If Universal thought the movie could compete in the summer, then they would have kept it at June 10th.  They didn’t because April, while not the summer movie season, has been good for the franchise’s box office.  You’re a late-spring movie, Fast Five.  Deal with it.

There’s also a new poster for Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris.  I’m not sure what Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” has to do with the plot (also, Van Gogh was Dutch so again, I’m missing the French connection), but it’s on the poster along with star Owen Wilson.  Hit the jump to check out the posters.

New FAST FIVE Trailer

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: March 8th, 2011 at 9:33 am

With Justin Lin’s Fast Five opening next month (April 29), Universal has released a new trailer and the fifth installment looks to be the biggest yet in terms of action and cast.  When I spoke to producer Neal Moritz about the film, he told me the big bank heist (which you can see in the trailer) is around 14 minutes of non-stop action.  He said:

“That sequence of them pulling this vault through the city of Rio De Janeiro being chased by 50 police cars throughout the city is one of the most incredible sequences I’ve ever seen on film. The action in that is like nothing you’ve ever seen, it’s all real.”

While none of the Fast and the Furious films will ever win any awards, what I like about them is they don’t pretend to be anything more than what they are.  And with an April release date, the film should make a lot of coin before the rest of the big summer movies even come out.  Check out the new trailer after the jump:

10 New Images from TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: February 6th, 2011 at 7:42 pm

With Paramount releasing an awesome Super Bowl ad for Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon, I’ve screengrabed my favorite ten images from the commercial and they’re after the jump.

What I love about the new ad is that it shows what Chicago would look like if an alien race invaded.  Say what you will about Bay, there is no other director I’d want handling this movie.  And yes…the image above is Optimus Prime about to slice someone open with his sword.  Included in the ten images are Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Tyrese Gibson.  TF3 gets released July 1, 2011.
