Sorry for the lack of updates this week, I’ve been working pretty heavily on a redesign for the site, which has taken up most of my free time.
To keep you occupied, in the meantime, here’s a recap of what’s going on, and some links to more stories:
There’s a whole bunch of new images from Saw V, which opens next Friday over at BloodyDisgusting
Sources say there’s more footage after the end of Max Payne, similar to the last Pirates movie and Iron Man. Stick around until the credits are over for a hint of a sequel.
SlashFilm is reporting that Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland is going to be “more engaging/psychological”, by which they mean “stupid” and “annoying.”
A site I’ve never heard of, called MovieHole, says that someone greenlit a World of Warcraft movie, and a script is being penned. (link)
JoBlo has a pretty cool interview with Mark Wahlberg (link)
Lionsgate has said they’re not screening W in Texas. Hmm, wonder why?
Richard Donner has confirmed that plans to make The Goonies sequel are one again shut down.
LatinoReview has some new images from Star Trek, if you’re into that sorta thing. (link)
That’s about it for the last couple of days. Back to work on the redesign I go.
Movies based on video games are notoriously violent (see Resident Evil, Hitman, etc.), so I’m not really surprised at the news that Max Payne has been given an R rating. The director, John Moore, was surprised, however. According to Moore, the MPAA told him they handed down the R rating because the movie “feels” like an R. Moore is pissed because he thinks his movie is less of an R than The Dark Knight. Needless to say, he’s appealing the decision.
While I can’t say if Max Payne is more or less violent than TDK, I can say that I don’t necessarily disagree with the PG-13 rating on TDK. The camera cuts away from most violence, there’s little (if any) profanity, and while it’s dark, it’s also a movie about a dude saving an entire city from a madman, again.
