Tron 3 Moving Ahead With New Writer - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

The Hollywood Reporter have learned that Jesse Wigutow has been hired to do a new draft of the screenplay. It’s not clear if he’ll be using any of the previous drafts or throwing them out. It’s also not clear, on currently available evidence, if he’s good at ‘this kind of thing,’ the big, expensive genre piece.

Tron Legacy producer Justin Springer is working on this new film, and that film’s director Joseph Kosinski is still attached to direct.

HORSE****!!!!!! Cloud Atlas and John Carter #1 and 2 of the worst of the year while Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter was #4. Twilight is NOWHERE to be found? **** you TIME magazine.

Never seen any of these but Atlas was on my list until bad reviews. I'll see it eventually though. Carter didn't interest me regardless of any "flop" at the box office and Lincoln just seems idiotic. I've seen bits and pieces of the first two Twilight films on TV and they were good comedy....unfortunately they weren't supposed to be.

TIME seems to be hooked on the "if it's a Box Office flop then it must be bad"...which isn't even remotely true in many cases.

OBLIVION Poster Featuring Tom Cruise | Collider

The first poster for director Joseph Kosinski’s (TRON: Legacy) upcoming sci-fi film Oblivion has landed online, and it’s very, very pretty. Tom Cruise stars as one of the last remaining drone repairman stationed on a future Earth. He works as part of a mission to extract vital resources from the ground following a decades-long war with a threat known as the Scavs, which lead to humans moving civilization to the skies thousands of feet above. When Cruise’s character rescues a beautiful stranger (Andrea Riseborough) from a downed spacecraft, events are set in motion that force him to “question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands.” This poster definitely teases an epic scope and a beautifully cinematic landscape, and given Kosinski’s incredible visual work on TRON: Legacy it’s safe to assume we’re in for one gorgeous-looking sci-fi film.

Hit the jump to take a look at the poster, and check back here on Sunday to watch the first trailer. The film also stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Olga Kurylenko, Melissa Leo, and Morgan Freeman.

Dunno. Looks pretty good to me.

AFTER EARTH Trailer. M. Night Shyamalan

Yeah...unlike Oblivion from yesterday...I ain't buying this. It feels almost like Shamalayan is exposing his GOTCHA moment(but the hostile planet they crashland on...is Earth!!!!) and the exposing of that is his attempt to say 'See...I can do this.' MAAAAAAAAAybe I am being harsh, but he needs to prove himself. He has worn the **** out of benefit of a doubt.

Life Of Pi's Visual Effects Are Extraordinary. Here's Why - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors

so none of ya found the time to go see this. Well Phhhhhhhhbbbbbtthhhhhhhhtttttttttt!!!! Possibly the best use of cgi/3d and although the movie will translate well to home viewing you really owed it to yourself to see it on a big screen with all the bells & whistles. Your loss.

Frank Darabont to Rewrite GODZILLA Reboot | Collider

Gareth Edwards‘ reboot of Godzilla just got a monster screenwriting boost, but there could be a rampage behind the scenes. First, the good news: Deadline reports that Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) has come on board to do a final rewrite on the script, which was previously written by Max Borenstein (Seventh Son). That’s not intended to slight Borenstein’s script (which I haven’t read), but I have faith in Darabont even though he seemed to struggle with The Walking Dead in its first season. Nevertheless, the guy has a great track record with Shawshank, The Green Mile, and The Mist. I assume that his involvement in Godzilla means the entire movie will be about the importance of hope or else monsters will obliterate everything you know and love.

While Darabont is working on bringing drama to the screen, drama is already brewing behind the scenes between Legendary Pictures and producers Dan Lin and Roy Lee. Hit the jump for more. Godzilla opens in 3D on May 16, 2014.

Last night, Hitfix reported that Lin and Lee had departed the project, and suggested that the producers were simply too busy with other projects. Lin is working on Lego, Sherlock Holmes 3, a remake of It, an adaptation of Death Note, and Justice League. As for Lee, he’s on board with Lin on It and Death Note, and separately he’s doing remakes of Oldboy, Poltergeist, The Woman in Black: Angel of Death, and a Battle Royale TV series.

However, Deadline is saying that the producing duo is in a “huge battle” with Legendary, who wants to cut Lin and Lee loose with upfront money and no credits or back-end percentage, which is where the real money is made on a franchise like Godzilla. According to Deadline, the argument stems from Lin and Lee refusing “to reduce the fees they signed on for when the original deal was made.” Deadline also hears that Legendary is upset with Lin for talking about the film to “fantasy film blogs” about Godzilla.

Interesting developments behind the scenes. Lots of speculation that Legendary was a little worried to go all in on Godzilla with so much tied up in GDT's Pacific Rim(the worry is that if one fails, so follows the other) but they seem to be gearing up hard for it now.

EDIT:It looks like Henry Cavill and Joseph Gordon Levitt are being chased for the lead.
