Transformers 3...Making some heavy new additions!

Check out this new update regarding 'Transformers 3' from the famed director of himself, Michael Bay...
 
Hey, it's been a long time since I've posted. Just been a little busy.



'Transformers 3' has been going very well. We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China. On the talent front, we just locked in Frances McDormand and John Malkovich. Both amazing actors I've always wanted to work with. We also just got Ken Jeong, he is the super funny actor stuck in the trunk from Hangover and the Doctor from Knocked Up. We start shooting pre-shoots in about one month.



I also was at a Ferrari charity event this week raising money for a hospital being built by Ferrari in Haiti. I announced that night the newest Autobot to join Transformers: the Ferrari 458 Italia.

Well I am pretty excited about this, considering I the first two have been pretty awesome. In addition to Ken Jeoung being added to the cast we will also get to see Academy Award winners John Malkovich (Con Air, Burn After Reading) and  Frances McDormand (Burn After Reading). Now this is really going to set a blaze for this movie. Both have the potential of being stern government officials to loving parents. We shall see where the chips fall.

"Scream 4" Confirmed for April 2011 Release

Variety reports that Wes Craven (who directed the original) will return to direct Scream 4, which has just been locked in with a release date of April 15th, 2011.


Officially returning to the series will be Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courtney Cox-Arquette, though they'll be joined by a whole batch of new folks who haven't even been casted yet.

After awhile this series began to bore me. Maybe bringing back Wes Craven will add some "pep to its step."

Hmmmm....We shall see...

Godzilla coming back to the Big Screen!

According to Variety, durable special effects juggernaut Godzilla will return to the bigscreen in 2012, with Legendary Pictures producing.

Legendary will co-produce with Warner Bros., which is co-financing. The Godzilla project's been something of an open secret in recent months after Legendary execs began talking with potential directors. Legendary held off on making a public announcement until it closed its rights deal with Japan's Toho Co., which has overseen more than 25 Godzilla films.

Legendary said it's planning to announce a director shortly, and indicated that its Godzilla will pay respects to the original pic rather than follow up on Sony's 1998 Godzilla.

Legendary noted Monday that Godzilla will fall under its co-production and co-financing deal with Warner Bros. Legendary's productions with Warners have included The Dark Knight, 300 and The Hangover. Lynn Harris is overseeing for Warners.

Speculation about a new Godzilla has been active since last summer, with the Bloody Disgusting web site reporting in August that the project was in development. No Warners films are yet dated for 2012.

New Love revealed in 'Sex and the City' Sequel

Sex and the City 2 comes out May27th, bringing Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon back together and following up on Carrie's marriage to Mr. Big (Chris Noth), the confident, charismatic tycoon she finally tied the knot with after an on-again, off-again love affair that went on for most of the series.

When Samantha takes her New York clique to Abu Dhabi, Carrie finds the desert temperature isn't the only thing heating up in the Middle East. She runs into ex-flame Aidan Shaw (John Corbett) -- her other big love during the series -- and temptation begins to simmer beneath the surface of her recent marriage to Big. Corbett just announced his return to "Sex and the City" on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" (set to air March 31) but wouldn't talk about any plot details.

"We bump into each other halfway around the world?" Carrie says, referring to Aidan, in a new trailer that premiered exclusively to theater owners last week. "That means something."

With Carrie running into her sweet ex-fiance miles away from married life with Big, will the tables be turned this time around? And what brings the ladies of "SATC" to Abu Dhabi in the first place?

Check out the trailer...

Ladies are you ready!!! ...May 27th is right around the corner.

Movie Ticket Prices may Jump Up!

Provided by THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

Major U.S. movie-theater chains, seeking to accelerate the surge in revenues fueled by such 3-D hits as "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland," are imposing some of the steepest increases in ticket prices in at least a decade.

The new prices take effect Friday in many markets across the country in theaters owned by such major exhibitors as Regal Entertainment Group, Cinemark Holdings Inc. and AMC Entertainment Inc.

While the new prices could boost theater owners' already buoyant revenues, some industry watchers think they could also spark a consumer backlash. Studios, theater operators, and trade groups have long touted films as a bargain, compared with other forms of entertainment. A decade ago, the average ticket at a multiplex was $5.39, but prices have edged up between 2.7% and 6.1% a year since then, according to the Motion Picture Association of America.

The increases, in one case as much as 26%, vary from theater to theater, but many cinemas are raising prices most—or even solely—for 3-D showings, which accounted for the vast majority of last year's 10% jump in domestic box-office sales. 3-D movies generated 11% of domestic ticket sales in 2009, up from just 2% in 2008.

At an AMC theater in Danvers, Mass., a Boston suburb, 3-D ticket prices are jumping more than 20% to $17.50 from $14.50, while the adult admission price for a conventional film will remain at $10.50. At one Seattle multiplex, adult admission is rising to $11 from $10 for a conventional film, to $15 from $13.50 for a regular 3-D showing and to $17 from $15 for Imax 3-D.

A 3-D Imax movie at New York City's AMC Loews Kips Bay will cost $19.50, up from $16.50.

The increases weren't announced by the theater operators, but were reflected in prices posted Wednesday on movie-ticketing Web sites, such as Fandango.com.

AMC and Cinemark declined to comment. Comment from Regal wasn't immediately available.
