DRIFT Trailer Debuts

It’s been just over a year since we heard about the movie DRIFT which was shot on location down in the South West of Western Australia but today the first trailer has been released! Australia, 1970s. The Kelly brothers, Andy and Jimmy, have one great passion: riding big waves. As kids, their mother escaped from Sydney to Margaret River, a sleepy coastal town with some of the world’s mo...

Fury Road Wraps

Almost 30 years ago the Mel Gibson, Tina Turner, and Angry Anderson starring ‘Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome’ was released with direction by George Miller marking the completion of a trilogy that began in 1979, though there was little that felt “complete” about the Mad Max series. With Mel Gibson off the series, Tom Hardy is taking over as the leading man, and the new film &ls...

Bilbo Bags $223 Million in Three Days

I hear that ‘even the smallest person can change the course of the future’ and it seems Bilbo has done exactly that, scoring a record-breaking $223million worldwide in just three days; surely enough to help studio MGM back on it’s feet after it’s file for bankruptcy only two short years ago. After a strong opening on Friday, it was predicted The Hobbit may reach the $100 mi...

The Hobbit Opening Breaks Records – Surprised?!

It’s a reunion that everyone wants to attend. It may have been almost a decade since we last trekked into Middle Earth, but if the U.S box office figures are anything to go by, it will be a long while before the story becomes legend, legend becomes myth and those things that should not have been forgotten are lost (Galadriel in FOTR. Keep up people!) In short (no pun intended!) The Hobbit op...

New Trailer for The Lone Ranger

Well seem’s its the day for trailers! First we had Man of Steel and now The Lone Ranger starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. I will say this trailer is 100x better then the first teaser that was released a few months ago, this time around we get to see alot more of The Lone Ranger plus some of the humour that Tonto brings! So I’m rather looking forward to this one now.  From pro...

Rich Moore – Wreck-It Ralph

Wreck-It Ralph is smashing it’s way into cinemas on Boxing Day and we got the chance to talk to the films Director Rich Moore. From Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore comes Wreck-It Ralph, a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping adventure. For decades, Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) has been overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the good-guy s...

New Man of Steel Trailer Debuts

The full length trailer for the upcoming Zack Snyder Superman movie MAN OF STEEL hit the internet world wide this morning and this one is a definite improvement over the previous teaser. From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures comes “Man of Steel,” starring Henry Cavill (“Immortals,” TV’s “The Tudors”) in the role of Clark Kent/Superman, under th...

Amazing Spidey 2 Casting

There was never really any doubt that a) Sony were aiming to kick start a whole new series of films with ‘The Amazing Spiderman’, and b) that unless the first film was a financial disaster the sequels would happen.  The approximate $750 million in box office revenue worldwide from the Marc Webb directed film simply further cemented the entire project. So with the first film r...

A Sound Effect Legend: The Wilhelm Scream

  So I watch a lot of movies (duh), and I notice this utterly ridiculous scream sound effect that seems to appear in EVERY movie I watch: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Beauty and the Beast – I mean this scream is everywhere. So are studios lazy? Do they all just pull from the same sound stock? Oh no my friend. This is a saga sixty years in the making. I’m ashamed to only just have...
