Soooooo……… according to /Film, J.J. Abrams told TV Guide that he will be in fact be attached to produce the new Mission: Impossible 4 movie that is in the works. Now I have never seen M:I 2 or 3, nor would I really want to, but I hope J.J. Abrams is ready to handle all that is the almighty Tom Cruise again since he directed M:I 3. Who knows, maybe this won’t be too bad………Writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek, Transformers) also wrote M:I 3 so maybe they might be writing, doubt it, but who knows?!?

The Artwork of Tim Burton

Coming soon, check out the art work of Time Burton in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

“This major career retrospective on Tim Burton (American, b. 1958), consisting of a gallery exhibition and a film series, considers Burton’s career as a director, producer, writer, and concept artist for live-action and animated films, along with his work as a fiction writer, photographer and illustrator. Following the current of his visual imagination from his earliest childhood drawing through his mature work, the exhibition presents artwork generated during the conception and production of his films, and highlights a number of unrealized projects and never-before-seen pieces, as well as student art, his earliest non-professional films, and examples of his work as a storyteller and graphic artist for non-film projects. The opposing themes of adolescence and adulthood, and the elements of sentiment, cynicism, and humor inform his work in a variety of mediums—drawings, paintings, storyboards, digital and moving-image formats, puppets and maquettes, props, costumes, ephemera, sketchbooks, and cartoons. Taking inspiration from sources in pop culture, Burton has reinvented Hollywood genre filmmaking as a spiritual experience, influencing a generation of young artists working in film, video, and graphics.

Burton’s films include Vincent (1982), Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (1985), Beetlejuice (1988), Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), Batman Returns (1992), The Nightmare Before Christmas (as creator and producer) (1993), Ed Wood (1994), Mars Attacks! (1996), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Big Fish (2003), Corpse Bride (2005), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), and Sweeney Todd (2007); writing and Web projects include The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories (1997) and Stainboy (2000).” (MoMA)

Viewers Beware, Don’t Let IMAX Fool You!!!!

IMAX Comparison

IMAX has been creating miniIMAX screens all over the country and those bastards are capitalizing by fooling people into believing that these are actually legitimate 70mm IMAX screens. Although they are branded and owned by IMAX, they are not the same size. IMAX is a 76′ x 97′ screen while minIMAX (not official name) is 28′ x 58′ feet, a 4.5x difference in sizes (Click on the picture above).

How do they fool you and steal your money? By pushing the screen closer to your face. The result is the optical illusion of a huge screen that takes over your entire visual range.

SO… before you go to the IMAX to go see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen or any other IMAX movie check out this list to make sure your theater is the correct size. (Thanks TF Live).

Although I despise Jeremy Piven, I do believe this movie looks kinda funny and should be seen when it comes out to theaters.

I Love Viral Marketing

Not only is viral marketing on the rise of late, it is also one of the most creative and well thought out marketing campaigns to date. And now the new movie District 9, directed by Peter Jackson, is taking on this viral marketing adventure throwing you in their world of alien tolerance and rights.

The most infamous viral marketing for a film, in my opinion and I’m sure others could agree, would have to be what 42 Entertainment created for the film ‘The Dark Knight.’  They had a slew of events, on-line games, and adventures you could do through the web and off. This campaign lead to a bombardment of fun websites that would put you into the Gotham City world making you think these places were real. The websites did not start until two years after ‘Batman Begins’ premiered and would not hit it off until IBelieveInHarveyDent.com appeared; WhySoSerious.com would appear a month later. These websites would only spark the fire that would be this amazing campaign that would engulf you in the world of the characters of Harvey Dent, actually campaigning for him to be District Attorney, and The Joker, parading around doing crazy tasks, becoming a clown, and games that would eventually culminate to the beginning of the movie. This timeline of events of the campaign took over a course of a year to promote this movie and is probably one of the most successful marketing campaigns ever, since ‘The Dark Knight’ did smash box office records.

Transformers also had its little stint of websites and passwords that would lead you to “secret” Sector 7 websites. Sector 7 was also driving around in a giant black semi showing  a short two minute clip of the movie to show off “NBE” activity.

The new movie,’District 9,’ has gone in the same direction as the 42 Entertainment campign for ‘The Dark Knight.’ They are going in two directions of humans vs. aliens. As shown above there is a humans rights group called Multi-National United who are very intolerant of the new visitors. The official website site of D9 is very interactive and keeps with the story of their campaign and movie.; this website also has the official trailer. But there is also a protest group called MNU spreads lies. This group is dedicated to protesting MNU and fighting for non-human rights. This brilliant campaign is obviously getting results and fans are loving the involvement as well:

As you can tell, viral marketing is here to stay and hopefully many more films follow in the footsteps of these great campaigns. Nothing says positive results as actual fan involvement.……

Those silly Japanese have created a full scale 1:1 Gundam and will be on display for two weeks for some robot festival. It has working lights and slight movement in the head. Next thing you know, it will most likely start walking and blowing up North Korea.……
