Movie Hype and News
 

Talk about hype you have for movies.

First on my list, for all you gamers out there...

Apparently, Don Bluth, director of American Tail, The Land Before Time, The Secret of NIMH, Titan A.E., and Anastasia also created Dragon's Lair. He launched an Indiegogo campaign to get funding for the movie. He just got it, and now he;s making a Dragon's Lair movie.

Also, Alien Covenant. This is a reboot of Alien (after Aliens), which means Alien 3 could become non-canon.

And finally, Screenrant has an article on Nolan possibly helping out with a live-action version of Akira, likely a trilogy.

Christopher Nolan Akira Trilogy in the Works at Warner Bros.?

I'm so freakin' hyped right now.

Love Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

But you're really trying way too hard to work your movie **** into new threads.

No, I'm not. I'm just bored. If I were working too hard, that last post wouldn't have been the first post here in months.

Death Note is high on my priority list. I love the anime, and I'm eager to see how this goes. I tried watching the original Japanese live-action film. Although it was good, I couldn't finish it because it felt a little like a summer blockbuster and it just wasn't as realistic or gripping.

However, I hear that Nat Wolff is a choice for playing Light... and as a man who's witnessed The Naked Brothers Band, I must say this travesty must NOT happen unless Nat is actually a really good actor and we don't know it. Appearance wise, I guess he could play him. But Death Note deserves better acting, and I'm hoping this isn't some summer or holiday blockbuster. This is a psychological thriller we're dealing with.

To be fair, movies are similar to music in that they are a form of media entertainment.

JGuy... I'm surprised that you haven't mentioned the upcoming "WarCraft" movie... And you call yourself a gamer ;) My favorite "Viking" is the lead :love: Stoked!!

Too poor for an account on World of Warcraft. But I'd likely get one if I hadthe money to spend.

But I am looking forward to it. I'm really curious as to how it will turn out.

I've never played the game and wasn't impressed much by the movie trailer I saw, but the fact that it's directed by Duncan Jones makes me kind of curious about it. I loved Moon.

And Source Code. I'm now similarly interested.

I've never seen that, I've heard good things though.
