The news has now come forward that Relativity Media has finally come to a decision about the name for the upcoming revisioning of of the classic Snow White movie. The new title is said to be ‘Mirror Mirror’.

The movie, which has finished filming and is scheduled to be released in March of 2012, is a comedic adventure that brings to life the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I remember when my 6 year old daughter saw it for the first time. She loved it. I only hope that this particular movie will be well suited for my now 10 year old.

This revisioning of the movie stars the newcomer, Lily Collins, as the exiled princess who enlists the help of seven woodsman to help her get back her crown. Julia Roberts stars as the jealous evil Queen that steals the throne and starts the events into motion that hopefully will do justice to the original classical interpretation.

I guess we will have to see what ‘Mirror Mirror’ has on March 16, 2012.

Zach Snyder is well under way with the new Man of Steel movie. This Superman reboot has every fan holding their breath as to how well the final picture is actually going to be. For myself, I hope it is a cinematical masterpiece that exceeds all expectations. And, of course, action. Full on action.

Anyway, the Superman Homepage has some evidence that the movie is actually getting underway. They have posted what is said to be the structures for Clark Kent’s hometown of Smallville.

As you can see from the photos the buildings look they are built to resemble buildings that have sustained damage. Damage from what? Did Superman do it? We can only guess for now.

Man of Steel is going to have a star studded cast in Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Russell Crowe, Julia Ormond and Christopher Meloni. Plans are for a December 2012 release.

It looks like there is now a reason to go ahead and get excited for G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes. Through a tweet, Dwayne Johnson has confirmed that he is coming to the movie franchise as Roadblock.

The character of Roadblock is a heavy machine gunner that also doubles as a cook. Somehow that just sounds perfect for The Rock.

Now, that this news has broke, I am a little more excited about the news of the sequel. Look for it some time in the summer of 2012.

Two great looking Captain America movie posters have been released. The look of the two photos brings images of the comic to mind rather than a live action movie. Check them out here below.

Captain America opens up in movie theaters on July 22nd. Chris Evans stars as the First Avenger with Tommy Lee Jones and Hugo Weaving.

The manor is actually Wollaton Hall in Nottingham, England.

I have to say that I am not all that excited about the possibility of the Harry Potter franchise overtaking that of my beloved Star Wars films. But, it seems that there may be a new champion when it comes to overall box office strength.

The George Lucas inspired movies of the Star Wars saga has for many years been the ruling champ when it comes to movie franchises. In total the six films of the galactic saga has raked in more than $1.9 Billion! That is simply amazing when you stop to think about it. But, the J.K. Rowling story of the boy wizard and his wizardy friends may be on the course of overtaking that top spot with its six film run.

While this is great news to the Potter faithful, for those who believe in the Force want another Star Wars movie soon! Right now the Potter franchise is sitting at a little over $1.7 billion in overall box office draw. Estimates put this particular movie over that of the Lucas films before the end of the year.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows may push the franchise over the top, but for how long? Do you think anything else can catch up to it? What about the new fleet of Batman movies? Or will Avatar end up overtaking the top spot with fewer movies?

Big Deal. http://www.movie-holic.com/2010/02/26/new-zoolander-movie-big-deal/ http://www.movie-holic.com/2010/02/26/new-zoolander-movie-big-deal/#comments Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:52:57 +0000 Tim http://www.movie-holic.com/?p=1130

You might have guessed from the snide title to this little post that I really could care less about another Zoolander movie. In fact, I could care less about another Ben Stiller movie. Nope. I’m not a big fan of either.

But, it seems there are a lot of people out there who are excited about it. However, it does seem that Ben Stiller is on board for the sequel as well as Justin Theroux as the director. It is not know if Owen Wilson will be returning.

Whatever.

The year of the remake continues with the release of the 1984 classic The Karate Kid. The new 2010 version is starring the combination of Jackie Chan as Mr. Han, the Mr. Miyagi of the new version, and Jaden Smith who is portraying Dre Parker.

While I am not sold on the need for a new Karate Kid movie I do think that the trailer looks pretty good. Maybe we shouldn’t call it a complete remake. After all, the characters and setting are changed. The story is basically similar, but it just isn’t The Karate Kid without Mr. Miyagi and Daniel-san.

The Karate Kid 2010 Trailer

Well, I guess we’ll see. The Karate Kid is scheduled to release in theaters on June 11, 2010.

It is about time! Latino Review has come out with a story that an upcoming Superman movie now has a writer! I don’t know about you, but I have been waiting for this day since The Dark Knight. I am so hoping that a new Superman movie will, well…. simply crush Batman.

Initial reports are that David Goyer, who ironically wrote The Dark Knight and Batman Begins (and a lot of other great movies and television shows), is going to be writing the new Superman movie! This is very exciting. As a long time Superman fan, and not so much Batman fan, I have been waiting for that one stellar portrayal of the world’s greatest fictional superhero.

Now, I believe with Goyer’s pen in hand, that is going to happen. Vision is needed to bring Superman back to the top of the Box Office. Thankfully, this does not include a reboot of the original. It looks as though the movie will automatically assume the person knows about Superman’s origins, his job, and his relationships. That is good! I don’t really want to see another origin movie.

What say you?

Reboots of movies is starting to get out of hand. But, besides all the movie reboots, filming in 3D is starting to get a little annoying. I don’t know, maybe it is because all I can think of is wearing those stupid cardboard cut out glasses, but 3D just does not appeal to me. Even if it is Spider-Man.

However, the news that James Cameron is interested in working with the director of the upcoming Spidey flick, Marc Webb. While it is not really in cement that the movie will be a complete reboot (just leave it alone!), the news about Cameron’s involvement might just make this the best Spider-Man yet. We’ll see.

It isn’t suppose to be in production until later this year with a release date set for sometime in 2012.
