Epic New Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Trailer

We’ve already seen the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows trailer promoting both films, but now Warner Bros. has officially released an amazing new trailer focusing just on Part 1 of the incredible ending to the Harry Potter series. This new trailer is jam packed full of everything from the book and doesn’t seem to leave out any detail. The trailer provides many new clips from the movie that we haven’t seen before, maybe too many. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 will be so full of awesomness that I can’t imagine how far they are going to go with Part 2.

With less than two months to go, this trailer does the book justice from what I can tell, but I am a little concerned whether things in this movie will make sense to viewers who have only seen the films. There has been a decent amount left out of the past six movies that could confuse some people going into this film, but perhaps they will sort it out with a few lines of dialogue. This movie looks intense full of  action, fast paced, and extremely well done; as the book was pretty much like reading a movie. Do you think the trailer could have revealed too much? I do, but as I have already read the book, I know what happens and am still very excited for this film.

Directed by David Yates, who has already helmed Order of the Phoenix and The Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 will be in theaters and IMAX, this November 19! Check out the full new trailer for Deathly Hallows Part 1 after the break along with over 150 screen captures from the trailer as well! Continue reading

Mortal Kombat: Rebirth has now had close to four million views and rising. This short film puzzled viewers as to the origin and what this was promoting if it was promoting anything at all. With E3 on it’s way many thought it was to promote a new video game, others believed it was a promo for a new movie coming out, and some just thought it was made for fun. Continue after the jump to read what the real deal to this short film was!

Dear Summer 2012, Bring Me My Popcorn Now!

With Marvel Studio’s The Avengers film directed by Joss Whedon already slated for May, 4, 2012 to kick off the Summer movie experience and Sony Picture’s Spider-Man Reboot directed by Marc Webb coming out July 3, 2012, two more big names have dropped this week coming out for the 2012 Summer film season. First off, with the announcement of upcoming Warner Bros. IMAX films, Christopher Nolan’s Batman 3 was announced for 2012, but now there is an official date of July 20, 2012! Along with that big bombshell,  G.I. Joe 2, which I could care less about,has a release expectation of Summer of 2012 thanks to interview with Lorenzo di Bonaventura at the MTV Movie Blog. What more can we ask for in terms of big Summer blockbusters other than asking Michael Bay for Transformers 4 a year after TF3? Or perhaps we shouldn’t……Wishfully Kick-Ass 2, but only in a perfect world.

Can They Make It Work? Akira The Life Action Film…

akiramovie

Well apparently, according to Collider, there have been news on new screenwriters for the Akira live action movie. Warner Bros. Pictures is still going along with the development of this film and hired screenwriters Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. The duo co-wrote the first Iron Man movie and Children of Men.

Akira is based on anime artist Katsuhiro Otomo’s six-volume graphic novel masterwork. The film is said to take place in “New Manhattan,” a metropolis that was rebuilt after being destroyed 31 years ago. The famous motorcycle will also definitely be a part of the film. This is one of the most praised anime of all time, so we’ll see what they can do with this. Can the original be justified in live action form?
