Spielberg’s Robopocalypse Lands A Release Date And A Pair Of Financing Studios
A little further down Steven Spielberg’s agenda sits ROBOPOCALYPSE, the director’s adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson’s novel released earlier this year about human’s fight for survival against a robot revolution of sorts. Beyond his TINTIN and WAR HORSE responsibilities later this year, Spielberg still has LINCOLN on the calendar before he gets his hands dirty [...]
Remake Rights To 69 Kurosawa Films To Be Sold
You don’t love movies if you don’t love Akira Kurosawa. His influence is profound and can be seen in the cinema of Scorsese, Coppola, Nolan and countless others. His talents are immeasurable; masterful writer, director, artist, he stands with Bergman and Fellini as the greatest directors of their times to work outside of the United States. His [...]
Jurassic Park 4 Is Still Being Discussed
JURASSIC PARK 4 is one of those sequels we’ve been hearing about for quite some time. Most recently, Steven Spielberg and screenwriter Mark Protosevich were getting together to discuss concepts and ideas for a potential fourth flick, leading many to believe that another sequel is on the mind of the original director and that perhaps [...]
Spike Lee Directing The American Remake Of Oldboy, Plus The Return Of Mookie
I’m pretty huge into foreign cinema and one of the foreign film scenes that never ceases to amaze me is South Korea. So I almost spontaneously combusted when I heard that the Hollywood remake machine had plans on redoing OLDBOY, the film responsible for introducing Korean cinema to most westerners. Hollywood has had it’s claws dug deep into Asian [...]
That’s A Lot Of Adventure In The New Tintin Trailer
We’ve only gotten small doses of THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN thus far, with teaser posters and teaser trailers being released. The animation has had sort of a cartoonish look, which jives with the source material being brought to live, so I don’t see any issues with the CGI. But being American and not really growing up [...]
The First Trailer For Steven Spielberg’s War Horse Rides Into Town
DreamWorks has saddled up the first trailer for Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of the Michael Morpurgo novel WAR HORSE and rode it into town for you to see. While there is no dialogue other than this one bit about keeping your eyes on the future in war, you can sense the hope in the film that [...]
UPDATED WITH WINNERS!!! Want To See Transformers: Dark Of The Moon With InfamousKidd.com?
The Kidd swore up and down a few short years ago that I would never see another TRANSFORMERS movie until some promise was shown that the franchise was moving away from robot testicles and racist twins. Needless to say, everything I’ve seen for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON has left me optimistic that Michael Bay [...]
Spielberg Is Thinking About Jurassic Park 4 Again
Steven Spielberg has JURASSIC PARK on the mind once more, and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with that. For years, ideas about a fourth JURASSIC PARK movie have been floated around, from ideas about still another hidden island to government-controlled dinosaurs carrying hi-tech weaponry, but that’s all it’s been thus far – talk. There has been [...]
Super 8 Tops The Box Office With A Strong But Not Super $37 Million
In a season populated by big-budget sequels, prequels and remakes, it’s kind of nice to see a smaller, original film albeit with the names J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg attached, top the box office.
Jon Doe Takes A Shot With Super 8 And Loves The Way It Develops
If theres anything that Spielberg has been so eloquent at doing, it is creating those small town loveable characters that the audience can not only relate to, but also grow to love. His classics, like E.T. and CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, paint portraits of memorable personas that allow his films to resonate in [...]
Jon Doe’s Movie Resurrection – Jaws
For the longest time, I was content with the knowledge that JAWS was a movie about shark attacks. Sure I’ve played the video game on the original Nintendo Entertainment System, and celebrated the hype every summer when that one guy at the beach would bring up the tale of a massive shark looking to feast on beach-goers, but [...]
Super 8 Was A Little Less Than Super But Still Great For Raven McCoy
The 80s had some of the most memorable kid-centric movies for me. There’s action-adventure THE GOONIES featuring a devastatingly handsome Josh Brolin and the Truffle Shuffle. STAND BY ME was a beautiful coming-of-age story of a group of boys who search for the body of a missing boy. I remember spending a good half semester in my [...]
The Kidd Vs. Super 8
The Kidd didn’t always have the dream of writing about movies for a living. I never thought I’d own and operate my own movie site. I never imagined I’d be doing what I’m doing now. I tried to make a go of it in radio, but with that industry being torn down due to incompetence, [...]
UPDATED WITH WINNERS!!! Go Back To Where Your Love Of Movies Began, And You Could End Up With Tickets To See Super 8
I’m not even going to try to ramp up the hype for this movie, because it really doesn’t need it. SUPER 8 is a film that you absolutely must see. If you love movies, if they are your passion (and I’m guessing they are, because you’re here at InfamousKidd.com), then I am telling you… you [...]
We Go A Little Viral For Our Advance Screening Of Super 8
It is extremely rare for us to do anything so far in advance of a film’s release. In fact, we find it quite ridiculous when anyone does, but, for this special instance, in order to do something quite special, we’re launching into one element of our contest for tickets to see our advance screening of [...]
All Types Of Tintin Awesomeness Tease Something Special Trying To Escape
To this point, all we’ve gotten to see from the Steven Spielberg-Peter Jackson collaboration on THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN that have given us some feel for the look of the films to come. They pale in comparison to the first teaser trailer for the film released by Paramount Pictures, which puts on full display an [...]
Steven Spielberg Has One Amazing Cast For Lincoln
Steven Spielberg’s been sitting on his Abraham Lincoln biopic LINCOLN for quite some time, so now that the director has finally pulled the trigger on making it, I wouldn’t expect him to accept anything less than the best as he heads towards production… and that means putting together one phenomenal cast that is sure to [...]
Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Trailer Is So Good That It Rips Buildings In Half
Paramount Pictures has released their first full theatrical trailer for TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON today, and, while it is hardly lacking in action like a typical Michael Bay film, it feels as if there’s a different Michael Bay on display here. After running through the trailer twice since its premiere, I don’t have any [...]
Super 8 Gets A Poster Now, Too
Late on Friday, Paramount released an official one sheet for the J.J. Abrams-Steven Spielberg collaboration that has shot up to the top of my most anticipated films of the summer list, after the strength and the mystery of the they dropped last week as well. If you passed this by in the theatre lobby, the [...]
The Full Super 8 Trailer Keeps The Mystery Alive
For years now, I’ve absolutely hated the way films get sold to the general public. For some reason, the marketing teams over at the studios feel the need to have trailers cut by those editing houses that basically show you mini version of the film you’re interested in seeing, all condensed down to somewhere in [...]
J.J. Abrams Talks Super 8
One trailer in front of IRON MAN 2 put the world on notice that a J.J. Abrams/Steven Spielberg collaboration was in the works, complete with a train wreck, and some type of mysterious creature escaping with force from its containment. That was our first look at SUPER 8, but, beyond that, things have been all [...]
Steven Spielberg’s War Horse Gets A Synopsis
I know, I know… you wanted the Lincoln biopic from Steven Spielberg, and instead you got this. Well, don’t worry. Spielberg’s take on Abraham Lincoln is coming, now with Daniel Day-Lewis in the lead instead of Liam Neeson. We’re just going to get WAR HORSE first, as it’s released on December 28, 2011. Collider managed [...]
Jon Doe’s Movie Resurrection – The Goonies
HEY YOU GUYS! Doe here. I’m back from the sepulcher to visit another film that was quite popular in my livelier days, yet managed to slip my bucket list. Given my opinion of Indiana Jones and his ‘raid’ of the ‘lost ark’ was so popular, I figured I’d keep the ball rolling and examine another [...]
Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln Biopic Will Happen… With Daniel Day-Lewis As Lincoln
This certainly came out of nowhere. Steven Spielberg’s long-planned biopic of Abraham Lincoln has new life, something The Kidd didn’t think possible after Liam Neeson, who had been attached forever to play the 16th President of the United States, confirmed that he was . But now it is actually going to happen and with an [...]
Steven Spielberg & Peter Jackson Give A First Look At Tintin
The Kidd doesn’t know a damn thing about Tintin. I don’t know about any of his adventures or his little dog for that matter. I haven’t read any of the comic strips or the graphic novels. I don’t know any of the characters other than the one referenced in the title… and even then, I’m [...]
