For those of you who already asked Santa for tickets to the new Star Trek that was scheduled to open December 25, 2008, you’re going to be pretty disappointed when your stocking comes up empty Christmas morning.
Variety is reporting the J.J. Abrams’ film has been pushed back to May 2009, which might make the studio more money as a summer run could draw a larger audience than the holiday.
Move was part of a major reshuffling to the studio’s release calendar, as well as to DreamWorks’ release sked. Like Par, many of the majors are likely to revisit their release skeds in the wake of the writers’ strike as they try to balance out their 2008 and 2009 calendars.
“Star Trek” has no competition in its new slot — at least not so far, although it opens one week after 20th Century Fox bows “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” and one week before Sony is slated to bow sequel “Angels and Demons.”
Well this is sad news for the Trekkers and the Trekies whom I’m sure were eagerly awaiting a time travel story featuring a young and old Spock, the Kobayashi maneuver, and yet another interpretation of the Enterprise. Don’t worry fans, an additional six months won’t kill you.
To help kick off the DVD release of the Transformers, Paramount is rolling out the life sized model of Bumblebee and erecting him in the courtyard of the West Hollywood Gateway shopping center at the corner of La Brea and Santa Monica Blvd. Stop by and get your picture taken, or just marvel at what someone can do with a bunch of car parts, a forklift, a 10-ton crane and lots of money.
Bumblebee will be on location from today (October 16) until Sunday October 21st.
While Box Office Mojo isn’t the official source for all things related to movie releases, it does have a listing for Transformers 2. It also lists the release date as June 26, 2009. Other than saying it is a Sci-Fi Action flick no other info is provided.
Just doesn’t have the same ring to it that Go Joe! does, but I’m sure we’ll get over that once Stuart Beattie turns in his script for Paramount Pictures G.I. Joe flick.
Studio has fast-tracked the Stephen Sommers-helmed “G.I. Joe” in the wake of the success of Paramount/DreamWorks’ “Transformers,” which is also based on a Hasbro toy line.
Great, just what we need, a huge phenomenon of rushed films based on Hasbo toys. What’s next, Candy Land: The Movie? The Magical Adventures of Furby? Go Go Gloworm?
Story is set at Brussels-based G.I.J.O.E., an acronym for the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, and revolves around an international co-ed force of operatives who use high-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil org headed by a double-crossing Scottish arms dealer.
I really hope we get to see some Cobra Commandos bite the dust in this flick, instead of parachuting to safety all the time. The movie is expected to go into prepro this fall, with a summer 2009 release date.
Geeeee Eyeeee Joooooooooooeeeeee!
ComingSoon.net has obtained an exclusive clip to Paramount’s Stardust.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn and based on the best-selling graphic novel by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess, the fantasy-adventure stars Claire Danes, Charlie Cox, Sienna Miller, Ricky Gervais, Jason Flemyng, Peter O’Toole, Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro. Ian McKellen narrates the film.
I’ll admit I know absolutely nothing about the Gaiman book, but a lot of people have been hyping the heck out of it. After watching the clip, I was intrigued enough to at least look up the full synopsis from IMDb.
Take the jump for the links, more info, and the new trailer!
