‘Angry Birds’ Movie In The Works

May 16th, 2013 Kendra Beltran

Just when you thought last summer’s epic fail, Oogieloves, was the worst thing ever in cinema, here comes an Angry Birds movie. Really Hollywood, this is where we’re at now?

Sony won the distribution rights for the mobile game and have announced they’re planning on releasing an animated movie. Yes, because everyone thought it was going to be live action. There’s already a release date set for July 1, 2016. Hopefully for them, that game is still relevant then.

John Cohen and David Maisel have been pegged as the producers. They’ve also been behind hits like Despicable Me and …

Melissa Joan Hart Fails at a Kickstarter Campaign

May 15th, 2013 Kendra Beltran

Melissa Joan Hart set up a Kickstarter in hopes of funding a movie, and well, it looks like she’ll be stuck on the small screen forever. Her goal of $2 million fell so short that she canceled the project.

In the light of the Veronica Mars movie’s Kickstarter raising eyebrows when it went above and beyond in mere hours, other actors thought they’d give the crowd funding site a go. Zach Braff started one to get a Garden State sequel funding. He got a lot of flack for it since he still has Scrubs money, people hated on the idea …

Chloe Moretz Offered Hooker Role

May 13th, 2013 Kendra Beltran

Chloe Moretz might be heading to her most grown up role yet; a hooker.

People perked up when the 80s TV series, The Equalizer, was set to hit the big screen with Denzel Washington as the lead. The movie is getting even more attention now that it’s been said that Chloe Moretz has been offered a role in the movie as a hooker. According to ScreenCrush, Chloe impressed everyone in the room so much with not only her audition, but her chemistry with Denzel, that they rewrote the role for her.

Originally, the hooker part was intended for a …

The New ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ Still Needs a Captain

May 13th, 2013 Kendra Beltran

Another Pirates Of The Caribbean has been in the works since 2011, but there’s only one problem (on the surface), they don’t have a director.

It’s been 10 years since The Curse of the Black Pearl cemented yet another character in Johnny Depp’s “infamous role” catalogue. The success of the first of course led to sequels and while On Stranger Tides saw the permanent absence of Pirate regulars Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, it did okay. Let’s be honest, it wasn’t the best, but it was entertaining to say the least. That should’ve been the last one though. Alas, there …

SHARKS ON A PLANE: ‘Bait 2′ Becomes ‘Deep Water’

May 9th, 2013 James Shotwell

When it was released, Bait quickly became the talk of horror forums and conventions worldwide. What’s not to love about a shark trapped in a grocery store, right? No one thought a sequel was necessarily needed, but when word broke in February about a second film that would focus on a shark loose in a California private school, we were fully on board. Now it seems the film has undergone some major changes, and suddenly things don’t feel quite as fun as they once did.

According to an article on Moviehole, Bait 2 has been retitled Deep Water and …

Ryan Gosling Planning To “Take A Break” From Acting

March 20th, 2013 James Shotwell

After appearing in (roughly) every third film released over the last year, The Place Beyond The Pines star Ryan Gosling has expressed a desire to take a break from acting in the near future.

In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Gosling explained that he feels the time has come to take a step back, stating “I’ve been doing it too much. I’ve lost perspective on what I’m doing. I think it’s good for me to take a break and reassess why I’m doing it and how I’m doing it. And I think this is probably a good way …

NOT A JOKE: Love ‘Cars’? Here’s Your First Look At Disney’s ‘Planes’

March 8th, 2013 James Shotwell

You know a spinoff film is destined for greatness when one of the companies behind the original is no longer involved, nor any of the original cast, and the release was bumped from Direct-To-DVD to theatrical. Such is the case with Disney’s upcoming animated feature, Planes.

Made without the help of Pixar, who famously saw a dip in their popularity with the release of Cars, Disney’s Planes hopes to kickstart a new franchise (aka vehicle for toy sales) that will take everyone’s love of talking machinery to the skies. The film was originally scheduled to arrive Direct-To-DVD in …

January 2nd, 2013 James Shotwell

I know everyone is still excited for the plethora of superhero films coming out in 2013, but let’s skip ahead a bit and begin talking 2015 Summer blockbusters. Competing against Avengers 2 for box office domination will be Warner Bros. first outing with their own superhero collective, DC Comics’ Justice League, and this morning a rumored roster (character list) for the film began making the rounds across various film blogs.

For the record, everything that follows is still very much considered a rumor. Until DC or Warner Bros step forward and say otherwise (which they’ll likely never do), …

October 30th, 2012 James Shotwell

If you felt a weird vibration shoot through your body a few moments ago, you’re not alone. Movie geeks and sci-fi fans around the world likely felt the same shiver-inducing tingle that our UTG staff just experienced a short while ago when news broke from Reuters that Disney has purchased LucasFilm with plans to release Star Wars Episode Seven in 2015.
