Earlier this month, Wreck-It Ralph director Rich Moore talked about his ideas for his sequels.  His ideas included trying to bring in Dirk the Daring from Dragon’s Lair, and weaving in aspects of mobile/casual gaming because it’s becomes so prevalent.  Moore is out promoting the film’s upcoming 3D Blu-ray/Blu-ray/DVD release, and he talked about more ideas he had regarding the sequel.

Hit the jump for what might be in store for Wreck-It Ralph 2.

A deleted scene has been released from Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph.  In my review, I expressed my disappointment that Ralph didn’t go to more gaming worlds.  This scene hints at a game called Extreme EZ Livin’ 2, but it doesn’t actually go there.  In the scene, a Matthew McConaughey-esque character tries to persuade Ralph to break out of prison and take the both of them to the gaming paradise, but director Rich Moore says it would have added an extra half-hour to the movie, and done so late in the picture.  That also wouldn’t have solved my problem, which was spending too much time in Sugar Rush.  Still, Moore hasn’t given up on EZ Livin (which he sees as “The Sims meets Grand Theft Auto“), and might bring it back for the sequel.

Hit the jump to check out the scene, and hear what else Moore would like to see in Wreck-It Ralph 2.  Wreck-It Ralph hits 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on March 5th.

A staple of every awards season is the multitude of roundtable interviews and discussions that pop up featuring said season’s top contenders.  We’ve already shared an hourlong interview with some of the Best Director contenders like Quentin Tarantino, Ang Lee, and Tom Hooper, but today a roundtable of a different sort popped online.  The LA Times put together their first ever animation roundtable as they gathered the following directors for a 60-minute discussion: Mark Andrews (Brave), Peter Ramsey (Rise of the Guardians), Chris Butler (ParaNorman), Rich Moore (Wreck-It Ralph), and Genndy Tartakovsky (Hotel Transylvania).

The resulting video is an absolutely fascinating and candid discussion between the filmmakers about the evolution of animated films, a possible renaissance of 2D animation and who’s to blame for 3D animation dominating the marketplace, breaking down social barriers and the stigma of animated movies being exclusively for kids, and more.  It’s a wonderful discussion and is well worth your time.  Hit the jump to watch.

It’s looking like director Rich Moore’s animated feature Wreck-It Ralph is going to rule the box office this weekend.  If you’re still on the fence about this family-friendly film, we’ve got three new clips to share with you in hopes of convincing you to check it out.  They highlight Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voiced by Jack McBrayer) meeting Sgt. Calhoun (Jane Lynch) for the first time, a deal struck between Ralph (John C. Reilly) and Vanellope Von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman) and a special game character cameo with some helpful information.

Wreck-It Ralph, also featuring the voices of Alan Tudyk, Ed O’Neill, Adam Carolla and Mindy Kaling, is currently playing in theaters.  Hit the jump to see the new clips. 

From director Rich Moore (The Simpsons, Futurama), the animated movie Wreck-It Ralph is an equal parts hilarious and adorable arcade adventure.  For 30 years, Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) has been stuck in the role of bad guy while the good-guy star of Fix-It Felix Jr. (voiced by Jack McBrayer) always gets to save the day.  When Ralph leaves his game, he embarks on a hero’s journey that leads him to the candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush, where he meets feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voiced by Sarah Silverman), who not only becomes his first real friend, but who also gives him his chance to finally save the day.  The voice cast also includes Jane Lynch, Alan Tudyk, Mindy Kaling, Ed O’Neill, Dennis Haysbert, Joe Lo Truglio and Adam Carolla.

At the film’s press day, Collider spoke to actor John C. Reilly, in both a 1-on-1 and a roundtable interview, about how he came to voice Ralph, getting to root for the underdog, his reaction when he saw the world of the movie come together, the challenge of setting the right tone for the character, his video game period, the most surprising thing about getting involved with the movie, and how much he’d like to do voice-over work again.  Check out what he had to say after the jump.

The last time I saw a bait-and-switch like Wreck-It Ralph was, fittingly, the video game Brütal Legend.  The game was set up like an open-world action-adventure, and instead it was more of a lame real-time strategy game.  ­Wreck-It-Ralph isn’t quite the severe disappointment of Brütal Legend, but the movie takes its best quality—living in a video game world and all the cleverness that entails—and leaves it behind to play in a nice, but forgettable candy land.  There’s enough humor and sweetness (literally and figuratively) to make it worth a few of your quarters, but it doesn’t have much replay value.

At the film’s press day, Collider spoke to Rich Moore, in both a 1-on-1 and a roundtable interview, about the biggest challenges in taking the villain and making him the hero, how he ended up voicing a character himself, how Skrillex got involved with the movie and even ended up having an animated cameo, how much harder the 8-bit characters were to animate, that he and screenwriter Phil Johnston are going to make a live-action short for the DVD, about the guy who held the high-score record in Fix-It Felix and how it ruined his life, and that he definitely intends to continue working in animation. Check out what he had to say after the jump.

At the film’s press day, Collider spoke to actress/comedienne Sarah Silverman, in both a 1-on-1 and a roundtable interview, about what brought her to the film, what her reaction was when the idea was pitched to her, how into video games she was growing up, actually getting to record with co-star John C. Reilly, what makes her laugh, how she would love to do more voice-over work, and how she’s currently working on a stand-up special.  Check out what she had to say after the jump.

One of the greatest parts of Rich Moore’s Wreck-It Ralph (beside the excellent plot, pacing, cast, visuals, humor and heart) is the nostalgia for videogames spanning from the arcade era to modern day.  Now, Disney has released these “vintage” commercials for three video games found at Litwak’s Arcade and within the movie itself: Fix-It Felix, Jr.; Sugar Rush and Hero’s Duty.

Wreck-It Ralph, features the voices of John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch and Alan Tudyk, opens November 2nd.  Hit the jump to watch the commercials and we’ll send you two quarters on your birthday!*

We have the first clip from Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden to share with you today.  At nearly two minutes, the clip shows the Navy SEALS about to embark on the mission they’ve been training for: the attack on high value target, Osama Bin Laden. The feature-length dramatization from director John Stockwell (Into the Blue) stars Freddy Rodriquez, Xzibit, Cam Gigandet, Anson Mount, Kathleen Robertson, Eddie Kay Thomas and Kenneth Miller.   Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden premieres on the National Geographic channel Sunday, November 4th at 8pm.  It will also be made available for streaming on Netflix a day after its premiere (just in time for Election Day!).

There’s also a new clip from Rich Moore’s animated feature, Wreck-It Ralph.  The new clip shows Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) at his self-help group, Bad Guys Anonymous. Attempting to make him feel better about being bad are fellow antagonists Zangief, Clyde the Ghost, M. Bison, Neff, Dr. Eggman, Bowser and an axe-wielding zombie.  Wreck-It Ralph, also featuring the voices of Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch and Alan Tudyk, opens November 2nd.  Hit the jump to see the clips. 

Two of our most anticipated films of the last quarter of 2012 just so happen to be Sam Mendes’ Skyfall and Rich Moore’s Wreck-It Ralph.  Today, we have a new TV spot for the latest and greatest James Bond movie that features Bond (Daniel Craig), his antagonist Silva (Javier Bardem) and lots of guns and action.  Things get a bit more subdued in the first clip from Wreck-It Ralph, in which we see our titular hero, voiced by John C. Reilly, meeting Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman).

Skyfall, also starring Judi Dench, Benwhishaw, Helen McCrory, Ralph Fiennes, Berenice Marlohe and Naomie Harris, opens November 9th stateside.  The animated Wreck-It Ralph, which features the voices of Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, Alan Tudyk, Ed O’Neill and Adam Carolla, opens a week earlier on November 2nd.  Hit the jump to see the new spots. 

A new trailer for Disney’s gamer-centric animated film Wreck-It Ralph has been released.  The story centers on the eponymous bad guy (John C. Reilly) from the arcade game “Fix-It Felix Jr.” who decides he wants to be the hero, and escapes to other video game worlds.  There are some great jokes in this trailer (mostly involving Jack McBrayer’s Fix-It Felix), but also a few that land flat (poop jokes, really?).  The soundtrack is also a bit schizophrenic, but we get a look at quite a few new scenes that look really great. Ralph’s world-jumping allows for a varied palette of colors and character structures, and I’m really looking forward to seeing them up on the big screen.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer, and be sure to check out Steve’s very geek-friendly interview with director Rich Moore as well as our coverage from the film’s preview day.  Wreck-It Ralph also features the voices of Sarah Silverman and Jane Lynch and opens on November 2nd.  [Update: We've added a new poster after the jump.]

Earlier this week Collider was invited to visit Disney’s animation studios to check out almost half-an-hour of footage from its upcoming video game riff, Wreck-it-Ralph and chat with the film’s director  Chris Moore and several of the animators.  During the visit, we saw how the film moved from concept to screen and got a peek inside the technical challenges involved in bringing the Ralph’s five wildly different worlds to pixelated life. We’ll have all of that for you in the coming days, right now, let’s just focus on the footage screening.
