  1. Just something crazy that I never would've seen coming. A guy who i've got on my facebook, who i went to school with, and ten years ago went to a Limp Bizkit gig with, is a now director, special effects guy and co-founder of The Brewery Visual effects company. And is currently working on Welcome To The Punch, and has work on A Mighty Heart and The Killer Inside Me as well as couple of other well known smaller films. Guess its, one of those, how about that moments.

      that's cool as hell! do you still talk to him? if not, catch up, etc.

    2. ... who are those guys?

      ... who are those guys?

      You went to a Limp Bizkit concert? :)

      To answer both. No, I haven't talked to him in a long time. I just a pic on facebook, and was like,oh my god, that's Neil Marshall sitting at that table with him and others.Yep, I went to see Limp Bizkit in London as like most of my mates back, was a big fan. I just generally love my music.

  4. Just want some advice here. I want to upload my script, but the ending isn't quite finished as I am re-writing at the mo. Would people be interested in reading the other 80 pages if I put if up or I would lI be wasting my time? I want to upload something before a prepare to send it for script coverage in the next week.

      Definitely wait. But if you want to gauge your writing, upload your favorite scene and provide some context. For me a scene is like a bite of a sandwich; how many bites do you need to know whether or not you'll like it?

      Most of has have done this (some multiple times), and I should tell you that it always ends badly. Once you've solidified yourself as that kind of writer and the script is bad -- trust me when I say it sticks.

  5. Just wanted to on the script coverage. Is $94 + and an extra 50 or 100 for the rush option? Or can you just select the rush options?

  6. Just watched the teaser super bowl trailer for Iron Man 3. Most of the footage has been seen before. But noticed in the split-second of the Mandarin's attack on Stark's home, is shown from another angle and Rebecca Hall's character is also there, standing just behind Stark and Peppa,running away as they are propelled through the air. She wasn't even glimpsed in that scene in the original trailer.

      How can you even tell that's her?

  7. Just watched the trailer for Tusk. I thought it was pretty interesting. I've always been a big Kevin Smith fan Clerks, Dogma, etc. I've like the change of direction he's taken in recent years. I liked Red State. Melissa Leo and Parks where outstanding in that film. But he changed direction again, going to back to comedy elements, but with a twist. Judging by trailer and story Tusk sounds an unusual film. Plus its good to see Justin going back to his Jeepers Creepers days and doing...

      It doesn't appeal to me in the least. But then I don't really like any of Smith's films.

      I used to work at Blockbusters until 3 years ago. Admittedly, I never bothered to watch the Human Centipede. I did see the film on TV once. Bought the second but never bothered to watch it. One film I remember we had one copy of but were ordered very quickly to pull it from the shelf in no time, was the Serbian Film, one person we worked with watched it said don't watch, its just the sickest thing you'd ever see. So no one did. I watch the uncut trailer that was pretty screwed in itself.

      I watched it online. It's so ridiculously over-the-top sick that it's easy to roll your eyes and shrug it off.

  8. Just watched this short(10 mins) Punisher film called Dirty Laundry, starring Thomas Jane and Ron Perlman. Its brilliant and brutally violent. I've added the link below. This is worth watching. The Punisher as he was meant to be. http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=34607

      Thomas Jane made that for SDCC. It's pretty awesome. Marvel should bring him back!

      Marvel does own the rights again, and Jane wants to do it! Could be a good cheap flick to keep the name in the mix.

  9. Just watching Transformers: Dark of the moon and noticed a mistake(timer 8mins 54 secs) when Rosie huntington is walking up the stairs, why is she wearing a white baseball cap. Then when she enters the room holding the bunny, the cap has magically disappeared!

  10. Looks like Jurassic World is beginning to get underway as I noticed some casting sides up from Jonn Papsidera(The one who did casting for most Chris Nolan films, including DKR) for a character called Hamada.

      Hiroyuki Sanada should get on that.

       

  11. Loved the Star Wars pic they released yesterday of the entire cast at Pinewood Studios. Was really good but surprised to see Attack the Block's John Boyega and Oscar Isaac among the cast. It is just so fantastic seeing the future of the series alongside the original cast.

      And Andy Serkis, who knew? But no Jesse Plemons, who was rumored. The new ingenue Daisy Ridley looks just like Natalie Portman in her headshot but in her reel more like Kiera Knightley. I'm excited for it, now, too, whereas before I was tepid.

  13. Man, just finished reading some selected script pages from Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Walls. It has to be one of the most fucked-up scripts pieces i've read in some time. It's just brutal! And the electrical "sick stick" Mindy uses, is crazy. And some of the hero names are quite silly.

      @craig, I need to check on something first before can possible sent you the page. And no, I don't have the entire script, just a few scenes where you a sense of the rivalry between a girl named Brook and her mean girl types and Mindy. Who discoveres Dave ID as Kick-Ass. And what I'm guessing is the final battle between the Superheroes and Super-villains, including Hitgirl vs Mother Russia.

  15. Off to see Captain America 2 today. Can't wait and judging by the reviews here in the Uk. It's one of the better marvel solo attempts. Can wait to see what the end credits reveal is, too.

      Marvel's track record of consistent quality seems to be getting to a Pixar level now. It turns out cutting out the traditional film studio system and the stupid notes that go with it actually works.

      Really? I thought Thor: The Dark World was completely forgettable as was Iron Man 3.

       

      Everyone seems to love the new Captain movie though so maybe they're turning things around.

    3. benskelly2

      benskelly2

      Well, some are going to be better than others, but the overall control of the quality and, indeed, the unfolding of their "universe", has been pretty masterful IMO and I'm not even a comic book guy - not at all.

  16. Off to see to Skyfall today. Cannot wait! Am suprised though that it sounds so long, given I bought Tickets for 11am(British Time) and it finishes 13:50pm. But from what i've heard and read, sounds like I'm going to enjoy every minute. :)

      I don't think 11am is exclusively a British time. We have it here in the States too.

      I liked it. Not as much as Casino Royale, but liked it. There were a few script problems with shoehorning elements to elongate an action sequence which I didn't like. The whole film owes a lot to Christopher Nolan, there's many similarities to The Dark Knight and Inception. It looked gorgeous though.

      I loved, it is without doubt up there withe my fav films of the year. It is to me, the best Craig one yet. Hated Quatum, loved Casino Royale, although I did get bored at points with so much time spent in the Casino. And I love, Goldeneye, and it's better than that. The intro is the best i can recall, Adele's song recalls the beautiful songs from the early years of Bond. Bardem's ref to Jaws is a nice touch and he's the best villian the the series i quite some time(possibly sin...

  17. really glad i didn't read the script before i watched Cabin In The Woods. what a genius and original film. Without doubt one of the best horror films in recent memory and one of my fav films of the year.

      Why did it do so poorly at the BO?

  18. Really liked the trailer for The Amazing Spider-man. Looks to have alot more gritty realism to it and darker tone. And thinks its nice that they set-up why he ends up with his Aunt and Uncle. But have to say they spoil it at the end with the First Person perspective. looks like the've tried to mimic a combo of Mirror's Edge and Kick-Ass with total CGI.

      Two cents:

      Agreed complete with the lettuce monster (Cookies is a sometimes treat) and I never ever was on board. However, I am interested to see if the story will follow his parents, as that particular arc in the comics was AWESOME.

      Still, not in. Not yet.

      not saying I'm in yet either, but webshooters are a definite PLUS

  19. Right, I've added the first 34 pages(of a 110 pages) of my script Die Today to Live Tomorrow into the file exchange. Now, please bare in mind that this is not the finished article and i am polishing it up as we speak. But I would greatly appreciate any feedback on the story, the content, etc. and what you guy's think of it.

      It's probably a good idea to read through and edit your grammatical errors and mistakes before handing off your script for anyone to read. Even if you're just handing it off to your best friend.

    4. Hasmap

      Hasmap

      I've gone through all the spelling mistakes. I'm just sorting everything else out at the moment.One of friends is a writer, who has just had his first book published and he's said he'll take a look.

  20. So sad to hear the news of Tony Scott. so shocked by this news. My thoughts go out to Ridley and Tony's family. Rip. you will be greatly missed. thank you for the memories.

      Hardly mentioned but one of my favorites that blew me away with its visual style was SPY GAME. Still can't believe he's gone. So sad.

  21. Someone just posted on my facebook that they found out the Dark Knight Rises is going to a staggering 2 hrs and 45 mniutes long. Talk about ending the legend in an epically long way.

      The overly-lit cinematography, and some of the creature design (specifically the lead Demon Minion dude, whoever he was) made the whole thing feel like a Power Rangers episode.

      Well, of course everyone rightly has there own opinion. But my only quibbles where it was to long and the Aliens were a bland piece of the movie and seemed like they were just thrown in. But my main concern was can the right amount of so many main characters(which wasn't thought possible). And Whedon did, he gave each one enough screen time. And finally the Hulk was done justice after previous efforts: one a complete piece of trash and one so-so film. As long as character are portrayed tr...

  24. The new Dark Knight Rises trailer - Could thst be black gate prison that Wayne is in? Wayne is also using the support of a walking cane at the start. Also didn't expect the hovercraft at the end to fit into Nolan's vision of the world.And, maybe jumping the gun here, but the"blue background" with the hooded figure on the roof of wayne manor. could it be a cameo for Robin or Nightwing. The 8 year gap would be more than enough to train a protege for Gotham(Robin) or Bludhaven(Ni...

      Or take a page directly from the comics, and have Bane break Batman's back... I'm feeling like thats where we're going.

    4. mikeyP_73

      mikeyP_73

      I think they should break Wayne's back and then new superheroes are born as a result. The future becomes Dystopic and then 3-5 years from now we'll have a Batman Beyond Trilogy... Bale plays an old Bruce Wayne (and young thanks to Flashbacks) who is in a wheelchair and trains a new protege to become the next Batman

  25. The new Tintin trailer looks fantastic and a lot of fun. Thompson, where are you? I'm already downstairs. Do try to keep up. Also, can't wait to watch Deathly Hallows part 2 and see the 1:33 trailer for The Dark Knight Rises and Sherlock Holmes: Game Of Shadows
