Having largely dropped the slapstick and pop-culture references for one-off masterpiece How To Train Your Dragon, DreamWorks return to what is ostensibly their comfort zone with Megamind, a post-modern take on a genre previously tapped by rival animation studio Pixar. Mindful of their past mistakes however, Megamind is another animated heavyweight that should have Pixar stand up and take notice.
The Transformers: Dark of the Moon director shoots down those pesky 3D-conversion rumours like they were a moment of tender character development.
Warner Bros. domestic distribution president Dan Fellman reports plans to re-release the complete Harry Potter franchise following Deathly Hallows Part 2 in 3D.
At last, 2010 may get a feature for the holiday season….
It seems that stupidity pays off in the long run. Smash a baseball bat into your crotch on camera for long enough – and hey presto – you’ll have your very own 3D movie a couple of years down the line. Jackass 3D is testament to that, but thankfully it’s funny as hell too.
Another one bites the post-production dust. In what can only be a final cry for help before a violent suicide, George Lucas has decided to convert our beloved Indianna Jones Trilogy into 3D in time for a theatrical re-release. Well, those cheques to the devil don’t pay for themselves, you know.
The heat is on to be the best gosh darn villain the world has ever seen. And when your competition is out nicking the Egyptian pyramids and other great wonders of the world, you know you’ve got to up your game. So Gru sorts himself out with the ultimate secret weapon in his grand master scheme; three orphan girls. And before you get the wrong idea, he doesn’t put them through an intensive training course and turn them into child soldiers, rather, he uses the power of cookie selling to get the ball a-rolling.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I will be screened in glorious 2D. Thank God for that.
In 2012 the Star Wars saga will return to our screens – this time in eye-assaulting 3D! Three dimensional Jar Jar? Meesa no likey!
