TV Recap: ‘Flash Forward: Playing Cards With Coyote’
13 November 2009 12:15 PM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Whoops, somehow my DVR didn’t record last week’s episode and I missed it. But Agent Al Gough (Lee Thompson Young) kills himself to stop his particular future from happening. His future being he kills a single mother in an accident and he also wants to prove that you can change things by choosing to do so.
Regardless, this week’s episode has Simon (Dominic Monaghan) and Lloyd Simcoe (Jack Davenport) play a poker game, and whatever-his-name is Benford’s Sponsor finds his formerly dead daughter still alive.
While on vacation for their anniversary the Benfords (Joseph Fiennes and the wax model known as Sonya Walger) are playing around in some house on the beach, before Fiennes gets a call asking him to come in. The reason being is someone caught some video footage of a mugging and the people doing the mugging had a triple star tattoo that »

2012
Directed by: Roland Emmerich
Cast: John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover, Woody Harrelson
Running Time: 2 hrs 38 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: November 13, 2009
Plot: The world is about to end. Turns out the Mayans were right. A select few people are in on the ground work of saving the human race, while others, like Jackson Curtis (Cusack), are trying to desperately save their families from the mass destruction of the entire planet.
Who’S It For? This film doesn’t even allow you to turn off your brain. Just like 10,000 BC and The Day After Tomorrow there are enough head-scratching moments, if you want to laugh at the film. But If all you live for is special effects, I can’t stop you.
Expectations: Who doesn’t love John Cusack? Not me. I don’t not love Cusack. Plus, I’m a big fan of Ejiofor and Peet, »

Emmerich's Thinking Two 'Independence Day' Sequels
12 November 2009 6:37 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
A lot about a future Independence Day movie (or two) depends on this weekend. Director Roland Emmerich might have a hit with 2012, and if it does well enough, he might be able to jump-start the long-dormant ID4 franchise. I'm surprised there was no sequel three or four years after the original; it was, after all, the second biggest movie of all time when it was released (behind Jurassic Park).
Of course, if Will Smith is involved, the decision is much simpler for Fox, and Emmerich says that if there is more to come, it will be part of the Willennium. But here's something we haven't heard before: Multiple sequels. Emmerich tells MTV, "What we want to do in the next - it's actually two movies - we want to do a bigger arc."
He even has a title in mind, which you're free to despise: "ID4-Ever, Part I and II, »

Bicycle Messengering Gets Intense With David Koepp's 'Premium Rush'
12 November 2009 3:03 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
When was the last time you recall seeing an actual bicycle messenger? Unless you live in a densely populated, car-hating metropolis, chances are rather slim that you ever see someone on a bike with a package under their arm, ducking and diving all manner of obstacles before screeching to a halt in front of a skyscraper and racing inside to drop off said package just in the nick of time. Which is why it is simultaneously bizarre and fascinating to me that David Koepp would pick the high-stakes world of two-wheeled courier services as the frame for his next directorial project.
What's even more fascinating is the scale Premium Rush, which I am 99% positive is the name of a Capri Sun flavor I used to drink in the '90s, is set up to be. Sony is bankrolling the production, which Variety says they see as "a big-budget actioner, much »

David Koepp Speeds Towards a Premium Rush
12 November 2009 10:24 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Apparently, David Koepp likes the directing chair. Although this year’s Ghost Town broke a four-year hiatus from directing, Koepp is getting behind the camera again, this time for Premium Rush. Unfortunately for music fans, it will not be a behind-the-music look at everyone’s favorite Canadian rockers. Instead, Premium Rush will tell the story of a twentysomething bike messenger who innocently picks up an envelope from Columbia University. Of course, a dirty cop wants the envelope and will stop at nothing to get it. Though Koepp has written fantastic movies like Jurassic Park and Spiderman he has directed bad films like Stir of Echoes and Secret Window. Which will Premium Rush be? It’s too soon to tell but Variety is reporting that it will be a big-budget action flick so at the least it will have things that go boom.

David Koepp to Direct Bike Messenger Action Film Premium Rush
11 November 2009 9:06 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
David Koepp is best known as one of Hollywood's highest paid screenwriters (and one of Spielberg's scribes). His screenwriting credits include everything from Toy Soldiers, Jurassic Park, and Carlito's Way, to Panic Room, Spider-Man, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. For the last decade he's been trying to make the transition into feature film directing. He made his debut with the promising Stir of Echoes, but has since followed up with some lackluster efforts, the 2004 Stephen King adaptation Secret Window and the 2008 Ricky Gervais supernatural romantic comedy Ghost Town. Honestly, I think Koepp is a much better screenwriter than he is a filmmaker, and that's not saying much considering the abundance of lackluster screenplays he's been involved with in the last 10-12 years. With that kind of intro, you must be really interested in his next directorial effort (yes, that was ... »

Before the World Ends, Matt Heads to Wyoming for 2012 and Interviews the Cast
11 November 2009 10:09 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Last month, I was lucky enough to be invited to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to cover the press junket for Roland Emmerich’s upcoming disaster flick 2012, which opens this Friday. Some people reading this may be thinking, “Lucky to go to Wyoming? Har har!” These people (in addition to laughing oddly) have never been to Jackson Hole, Wyoming because it is an absolutely gorgeous landscape. There are forests, grassland, and mountains all grouped together and it provides a feeling of complete tranquility to the area. It’s isolated but when you stop to think about how most of us are bombarded on a daily basis by technology and communications that isolation turns into an oasis.
I also got to see Roland Emmerich destroy the world real good and then talk about it with Emmerich and stars John Cusack, Amanda Peet, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Hit the jump for what they had to »

Blendcast: Three Men and the Shop's Fattest Goose

Last week.s layaway is over; someone finally paid enough money to move Blendcast out of the backroom and into the parlors, sunrooms and conservatories of Greater America. So, steal Jesse.s Girl, motor along with Sister Christian and do the Stray Cut Strut; this week.s episode is in no way 80s related, but feel free to wear your spandex workout apparel while you.re listening. We won.t judge. You hear they spent 500 million on Avatar? Or that they.re talking about finally going through with Jurassic Park IV? We know things here on the Blendcast, things you can find out through cursory perusal of the internet. But beyond that, we.ve got some opinions, opinions we feel the need to share.

How has the Jurassic Park franchise survived extinction?
10 November 2009 7:38 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
No one wants to see more rampaging dinosaurs in Joe Johnston's Jurassic sequel ... unless those dinosaurs have guns
Jurassic Park IV is the climate change of the movie world. It's been talked about for years but nobody has really paid any attention to it, partly because it won't happen for a long time and partly because the reality of it is too horrific to even contemplate. But, like climate change, it seems as if Jurassic Park IV is finally becoming a reality. Joe Johnston, the director of Jurassic Park III, has been using interviews for The Wolfman to suggest that a new instalment is closer than ever, and that it's going to set up the franchise for a brand-new trilogy.
Rats. At least climate change would allow us to enjoy the benefits of a nice suntan and no East Anglia. Jurassic Park IV doesn't sound nearly as attractive. It is, »

For years there has been talk of a Jurassic Park 4, however it has never moved out of the development/scripting stage. In the past we have heard rumours of it revolving around the extinction, and another about dinosaurs with guns attached to them, however it seems those ideas have been scrapped.

Joe Johnston keen on Jurassic Park 4 as start of new trilogy
9 November 2009 5:02 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Director Joe Johnston has expressed an interest in returning to the Jurassic Park franchise to create a new trilogy of dinosaur adventures.
Earlier this year, producer Frank Marshall said a fourth movie was a long shot, following reservations about another film after the death of Michael Crichton in 2008.
But Johnston - whose Jurassic Park 3 is widely regarded as the weakest in the series - said he would be prepared to revive the prehistoric predators once more.
He told Ain't It Cool News: "There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it's nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved."
One early script for Jurassic Park 4 included genetically-modified raptors trained as mercenaries, while another report suggested the fourth film »

TV Spots Position Avatar as Action Flick and Family Adventure
9 November 2009 3:10 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
It looks like Avatar is trying really hard to be all things to all people. And with an unprecedented half-billion dollars in the balance (according to a New York Times estimate of the movie's budget), it's no wonder.
Aiming to solidify Avatar's appeal as a straight-up action adventure flick, the studio has released a 30-second TV spot that's all action, with almost none of that messy dialogue and romance stuff — lots of machine-on-alien violence set to a staccato beat. Not quite Transformers, but it gets the job done.
A second TV ad takes a completely different approach, spotlighting the magic of discovery on an alien world overloaded with eye candy. The tagline:
Welcome to a place beyond your imagination. A place where wonder lives and adventure rules.
It's all much more in the style of Jurassic Park, with new footage of Pandora's bio-luminescent flora and fauna. The commercial also »

Johnston: 'Jurassic Park 4 has great story'

Joe Johnston has said that he is hoping to direct the fourth Jurassic Park movie because it has "a great story". The filmmaker, who steered the third franchise instalment, told Ain't It Cool News that the Jurassic Park 4 script takes the series into new territory and sets up a new trilogy. "There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it's nothing like the first three," he said.

'Jurassic Park III' Director Wants 'Jurassic Park IV'
8 November 2009 4:15 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Jurassic Park IV? Don't count it out yet, I guess.
Director Joe Johnston, brought in by Universal to take over The Wolfman from Mark Romanek, helmed the third and least appealing Jurassic Park about a decade ago, and he tells Ain't It Cool News he would consider answering the bell again. Unless I missed something this year, the producers of the trilogy have not warmed to the idea yet, so this could be hypothetical.
"There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with, and it’s nothing like the first three," Johnston says. "It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.” »

Joe Johnston Thinks We Still Might One Day See Jurassic Park 4
8 November 2009 1:37 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Even though we've heard time and time again that it's going to never happen, director Joe Johnston still believes we will one day see Jurassic Park 4. Back in June, producer Frank Marshall said that another Jurassic Park was a "long shot" and that they "don't have a story." Not according to Johnston. Ain't It Cool News spoke with the director recently and heard otherwise. "Well, there is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it’s nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved." Johnston continues: "Why would anybody go back to that island? It was hard enough to figure out the second and third reason for them to go, but it would take it off in a whole other »

Joe Johnston Talks Jurassic Park 4 Story
8 November 2009 9:32 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Harry Knowles at Ain’t It Cool News put up an interview from a while back on the set of The Wolfman with director Joe Johnston. In the interview they discussed a bunch of his previous works and a bit about Jurassic Park 4 for which he is attached to helm.
This was before it was announced that Johnston would be directing The First Avenger: Captain America so unfortunately, that topic does not come up.
In the interview, the topic of special effects (the right mix of practical and digital) came up and Johnston gave the example of the first Jurassic Park and how it still holds up today as something special in that regard. Shortly thereafter, Harry brought the conversation back to Jurassic Park to ask some questions about the widely speculated fourth installment of the franchise. Joe Johnston of course, directed Jurassic Park 3.

Joe Johnston Talks Jurassic Park 4

Joe Johnston is currently prepping for the release of The Wolfman which is due out early next year. He was responsible for the direction in the 3rd Jurassic Park movie and AICN caught up with him to talk about his new movie but drifted onto talking about Jurassic Park 4.
“There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with and it’s nothing like the first three,” Johnston told the site, “It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.”
He added that it likely won’t be another storyline about a group of people struggling to survive a dinosaur attack. “We’ve done that and it’s been done three times…”
From the sounds of it, they won’t be going back to the island again “Why »

If only I could start this article with the Jurassic Park theme song. (If you.d actually like to, click here to take a listen.) In an interview with AICN, The Wolfman director Joe Johnston, also the director of Jurassic Park 3, talks about the potential fourth film. After chatting about how well the effects from the first film hold up, AICN asks Johnston if JP4 is next on his to-do list. He says .Well, there is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with, and it.s nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved.. The most logical way to take the franchise in a new direction?
