I Can’t Wait!: New Sherlock Holmes Trailer

Posted in I Can't Wait! at 7:57 pm by Chick 1

First footage for the Sherlock Holmes sequel premiered on Entertainment Tonight a day or 2 ago, but it’s quality (the footage itself, not the movie) was so poor I didn’t bother with it, knowing the trailer couldn’t be far behind. And here it is. I was a little concerned, before viewing, that it might be a bit too explode-y. I liked the action in the first movie but I don’t think fans want to see the series depart too much from what made Sherlock, well, Sherlock; namely, his wits! The story still seems like great fun and all the working elements from the first movie seem to be here, especially the chemistry between Holmes & Watson.

Best Line While Hanging From A Moving Train: I’M ON MY (kicks Holmes in butt) HONEYMOON!

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows opens December 16th.

I Can’t Wait!: 2nd Production Video from The Hobbit

Posted in I Can't Wait! at 11:02 pm by Chick 1

A second production video blog has been posted on Peter Jackson’s Facebook page. Another ten minutes full of behind the scenes. It’s really amazing how much work and coordination have to go into these films but it shows in the end products. Also nice to see a lot of the major players in the crew returning like DP Andrew Lesnie, Tolkien artists John Howe & Alan Lee, and Art Director Dan Henneh. Yay!

You can watch the video here.

I Can’t Wait!: The Hobbit

In case you didn’t know, they are currently filming J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit in New Zealand. After several years of pre-production woes, lawsuits, and a revolving door of directors, filming finally started in March. Peter Jackson, who was originally slated as producer, is directing. All is well with the world. The man who spent more than a decade bringing The Lord of the Rings Trilogy to the screen should be in charge of its prequel. The Lord of the Rings had a huge impact on me creatively, spiritually, and in many other ways. The commitment, passion, craftsmanship, and excellence poured into that story is inspiring. And it appears the same care is being taken with The Hobbit. As proof, I offer this squeal-inducing video published on The Hobbit Blog a few months ago which you can watch here.

I’m happy to report that a huge number of the original cast are returning, at least appropriate cast. Read the rest of this entry »

I Can’t Wait!: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Posted in I Can't Wait! at 8:29 pm by Chick 1

Chick 1 says:

Another trailer is out. They just keep getting more epic! (epicer?) And adding new footage as well.

Besides sheer bliss, I have two responses to this latest peek; 1. A tiny bit of concern with how they have messed with the final showdown between Harry and Voldemort. How Voldermort dies was very brilliantly and subtly developed by Rowling through all seven books. I’m talking about how Harry stays true to his character and values to the end, not that nonsense about who owns the Elder Wand. I’ll be upset if the filmmakers abandon that in order to “up the ante”. 2. Gratitude that the filmmakers saw the value in getting the finest actors in Britain to play the adult roles and that those actors agreed to take the parts even though they were often in tiny roles supporting underage actors. If rumor serves, most of them will get their moments in this finale. Obviously, Alan Rickman will shine but just look at Julie Walters about to… OK, no spoilers for those who don’t know. Take a peek. HP7P2 opens July 15th! Read the rest of this entry »

I Can’t Wait: The Earth Shakes Beneath Iron Man 2

Do you hear the rumbling under your feet? It is the sound of the earth trembling from the sheer awesomeness of the new Iron Man 2 trailer. It Doth Rocketh.

It premiered during Jimmy Kimmel Life following the Oscars Sunday night. Do I really need to say it? I. Can’t. Wait.

I Can’t Wait: Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang

Posted in I Can't Wait! at 8:20 pm by Chick 1

Chick 1 says:

Loved, loved, loved Nanny McPhee! The perfect blend of whimsy, humor, naughty children, and romance. Emma Thompson adapted the screenplay from a children’s book and also starred.

She returns as producer, writer, and star for Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang. The sequel also stars Maggie Gyllenhaal, Maggie Smith (2 good Maggies), Ralph Fiennes, and Rhys Ifans. Great cast but I can’t decide from the trailer how this one is shaping up. Of course, I wasn’t sure about the the first one and it’s one of my favorites.

I Can’t Wait: Robin Hood Trailer

Posted in I Can't Wait! at 6:45 pm by Chick 1

Chick 1 says:

Finally! A trailer for Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett and directed by Ridley Scott. Of course it looks well done. Love the extreme close of the arrow leaving the bow. I trust all the names involved but this still looks like lots of other epics out there. Maybe I’m waiting for the soul of the movie to capture me.
