  1. 4 Weekends in a row of going to the Cinema. 30 Minutes or Less, the brilliant Drive, last week Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy(probably the best film i've seen this year with outstanding performance from Gary Oldman) and the hilarious Johnny English 2: Reborn. Its been a good month

      Well, yeh, a definite improvement on the orginal with a better cast. Yes, very, very funny.

      big LOL for Machine Gun Preacher winning an Oscar for best writing... or for anything else really

      Some of these I've never heard of before and I'd like to think that I'm relatively aware of what is being released, even if I don't go and see it myself.

  3. Got the Art of Avengers from amazon today. Quite impressed, only left Arizona on 2nd and was here in the UK on my door at half 12. Currently reading the excerpts from the script. I love the way Joss Whedon writes, especially the fight battle. The artwork is stunning. But if I'm honest, the main reason this appealed to me was because it had several pieces of the script and seemed almost the only way to read it.

      I want to pick it up solely for that as well.

      I wasn't going to get it because I bought the Captain America one last year. But when I read on Forbidden Planet's website that it had excerpts from the script, like the Kick-Ass one did, I knew I had to get it soley for that.Marvel don't usually allow that kind of thing. Guess it was the Whedon factor. You get a small chunk, not much, mainly segments from the final battle, including "better clench up Legolas" and "And Hulk...Smash" scenes. But somethings better th...

  4. Does anyone know if the script for the Avenger's is out there? I've seen about three pages. Not totally looking to spoil it for myself, really. Just wondered if it was out there!

      Hey guys, lets keep these in the ISO - or in the very least, up here is fine, just be sure you actually put an ISO up too - otherwise when ppl go through to update, they'll have no idea youre looking for it.

  5. 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.

  6. I loved Skyfall, it is without doubt up there with my fav films of the year. It is to me, the best Craig one yet. loved Royale, but did get a tiny bit bored at times. love Goldeneye, but Skyfall's better. Love the intro and Adele's song is a fantastic remenisant of old Bond . Bardem's Silva is the best baddie of the last 20 yrs and his nod to Jaws is superb(maybe since Christopher Lee in MWTGG). The films looks stunning. Heres hoping, just like Bond, Mendes will be back

      And if didn't didn't already guess, Man With The Golden Gun, is favourite Bond film.

  7. Hey guys, I've just uploaded the first 35 pages of my script, Bullets Of The Dishonored. I am finishing up the rest ready for TB coverage in the next couple of days. Previously titled - The Rise and Fall Of Harry Valentine. I would like as much feedback as possible. Thoses who have read the previous draft, will hopefully have noticed the new change to the story.

    1. Hasmap

      And I'd like to hope you guys have seen big improvemnt in the quality of the writing and the dialogue!

  8. Thought I'd upload this link which Sofia Vergera's son uploaded for one of his internet blogs after visiting his Mum for a BTS look at Machete Kills: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMT4eZMv2U4

      It's a private video, ie, not accessible.

  9. Watched the Wreck-it-Ralph trailer yesterday. Quite liked it. Was surprised though that Disney managed to secure the rights to feature characters from Street Fighter, Q-bert, Pac-man, Mortal Kombat, Sonic and Super Mario. That must've taken some talking to get Nintendo, Sega, Warner Bros, etc, to allows their characters into a Disney film!

      Stoked for it as well. Looks like fun!

  10. The TB coverage has been really great for propelling the re-write of my script. A new title( The Rise and Fall of Harry Valentine has gone). The characters have more depth and one has brand new backstory essential to the plot. The pace and structure now consistant flow thanks to the scripts, etc, recommended.

      Our company actually just started using them for our overall coverage. While I've not used them for us before, gotta say - there is a lot of good buzz from you guys. Excited to see the results!

  11. G.I. Joe 2 Being pushed back to march next year in the states, and god knows when here in the UK is ridiculous. just so they can add 3d, which hasn't been that successful if im honest. And basing the fact James Cameron did for titanic is silly. even more so when it cost 18 mill and 2 yrs of development. on another note, send my script off to tracking board for full coverage. wish me luck.

    1. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      If I had to guess Hasmap, I would imagine it was because of the really crappy numbers Battleship had (in the states) as to why they're pushing it back. The 3d aspect just makes it weak...

      Also good luck on the coverage. It was incredibly valuable for me :D

  12. was very impressed with trailer for Skyfall which aired here in the UK on BBC1's this morning. Empireonline now has up on their site. its glorious.

      That is some stunning cinematography! Now, if the action coreography is coherent/awesome, and the plot worthwhile, this might just be the best of the new Bond series yet.

  13. Found out the other day that a guy who every now-and-then(not that often though) comes in , is unit director, second, i think, comes into the video store I work in at weekend. Apparently he worked on Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and told me and my manager he has just completed working on Keanu Reeves' new film 47 Ronin

      Have you seen Mike Le's story of being hired by Owen Wilson from his job working at Blockbuster? http://tinyurl.com/6modqa5

  14. 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?

  15. Was very suprised to see Aiden Gillen appear in the prologue. He always have a nasty streak in whatever the role he's play: 12 Rounds, Shanghai Knights, Blitz. But good for him on getting into Dark Knight Rises, even if it's a small role

      Is he the guy who played the young Mayoral candidate in season three of The Wire?

  16. 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.

       

  17. Had a great couple of days in London at Empire's Big Screen. The never before seen footage from Total Recall, Warhorse, Coriolanus and John Carter was very impressive. As was Puss in Boots, the 8-min Spider-man reel and the 12-mins from Real Steel. Plus, Got Roland Emmerich to sign my Anonymous poster.Had a chat with Gareth Edwards and gave me some one-on-one advice. What a cool dude he is.

      Cyber Hater

      did he advise you to send "live today" out wide?

       

      cuz if "Monsters" got him "Godzilla" -- "Live Today" could get you "Die Hard 6".

       

      Think about it...

  18. 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

  19. I just saw on ebay that a picture of the Saw 7 title page has it as Evolution 7. Anyone know the reason behind it?

    1. LeftyJones

      LeftyJones

      Just a guess... But Evolution is the original production company for Saw. Since then, they created Twisted Pictures to differentiate the management side (Evolution) from the production side (Twisted). Again -- just a guess, but the cover for Saw 5 was labeled "Evolution II" and the cover for Saw 6 was "Evolution III" and now Saw 7 reads "Evolution IV" Clearly somewhere along the way they just decided not to have the real title on the cover.

  20. If i upload a partial segment of a script i've benen working on. Would some give me some feedback on what they think? Its not quite finished, but will be in a day or so. I'm obviously not going to put the whole thing up. Just to give people a basic outlay: Its about a LA Detective who comes to home to find his wife and child have been murdered. And when his partner is found dead, he blamed for the deaths. So He teams up with the Daughter of one of LA's most notorious mobsters and ...

      Absolutely feel free. I know a lot of people here share their work. You can upload it to the F/E and put a post about it in the "Showcase" thread below, which you can link to one another.

  21. I've just uploaded my script, Black Sambas, into the Work In Progress section. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  22. it will be an interesting to see how homefront plays out. Never thought id see the stath and James Franco in the same film.

  23. Watched Girl with the Dragon Tattoo today. And what a film it was. Easily, Daniel Craig's perfromance of his career. And Mara, was superb, and glad they made Lisbeth a younger than in the swedish v. So good, I went and bought the tripple-cd soundtrack from HMV afterwards. Don't buy st's very often.

  24. Just quickly blitzed through some casting sides(about 20 pages) for Evil Dead remake. It definitly seems like a lot is being borrowed from the original, with some new bits thrown in here and there. I do like a part when the girl looks into the mirror, pokes her tongue out and is horrifed when it splits in two like a lizards. Seems like they've just started looking to cast the main 3 roles, David, Olivia and Eric.

  25. Hey does anyone know if script for Bone Deep(later known as Takers is around? And also, are you aloud to post any scripts or are is it just ones requested or is it limited?
