I’ve decided to expand slightly in this blog and actually cover some news etc to supplement the reviews I’ve been churning out recently. This was motivated to a large degree by the fact that there are some awesome movies in the pipeline and I want to share this info with the world (a.k.a. my two followers). This is mostly based on trailers I’ve seen and some of the buzz around these movies on the net.
Green Lantern sounds like something your grandma has in her living room, but it is actually a comic book superhero movie, and it’s looking like it’s going to be totally badass. With action star Ryan Reynolds taking over the responsibility of wearing the alien ring that gives him super powers, it looks like it could be a fun summer action movie. Due to be released in June 2011 it stars Blake Lively (of Gossip Girl fame), Peter Sarsgaard and Mark Strong, with director Martin Campbell behind the camera. You may know him from movies such as Casino Royale and GoldenEye.
Source Code is a new flick with Jake Gyllenhaal and the story, from what I could tell, is based around a new technology that allows people to travel back in time and take control of another person for 8 minutes. The government is using this technology to transport one of their best agents aboard a train that is due to be blown up by terrorists. Our protagonist has 8 minutes to find the culprit and prevent future attacks, while trying to not fall for the cute girl on the train. Duncan Jones is a relative newcomer, but his previous film, Moon, with Sam Rockwell was very enjoyable and I’m curious to see how he handles action material. Anything involving trains, explosions and hot girls (Michelle Monaghan) or dudes depending on what floats your boat, should be fairly successful in the box office. Look out for this in April 2011.
