Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

While this post arrives a bit late due to my current busy vacation schedule, my love for “old dark house” Gothic horror movies made it impossible to skip out on posting the new full-length trailer for Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, co-written/produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by Troy Nixey. While the creepy teaser trailer released last August didn’t show much, this new full-length trailer reveals more of the story – while still keeping the thrills and chills in tact, of course! Hit the jump to watch both the UK and US versions of the trailer (and make sure to turn the lights off and the sound up)!

Christopher Lee

Christopher Lee, Guinness book world record holder for acting in more films than any other actor in history (266 to be exact), turns 89 today. Modern film fans know him for playing Saruman in The Lord of the Rings trilogy as well as Count Dooku in the Star Wars prequels, but his film career goes back all the way to the late 1940s. Most will say that his most famous role of all time is that of Count Dracula, whom he first played in Horror of Dracula in 1958 as well as the many Dracula films that followed from Hammer Film Productions.

In honor of his birthday, the Official Christopher Lee website posted a three-part Forbes interview with Lee discussing his web site, new media and how it has affected the entertainment industry. Just listening to the man talk is incredibly intriguing, and even comforting. Hit the jump to watch the entire Forbes interview as well as a vintage movie trailer for Horror of Dracula!

Michael Bay_James Cameron

Transformers director Michael Bay has gone on record in the past as saying that 3-D is a gimmick and wouldn’t work for his fast-paced, intense style of film-making. But, as you all know, his latest film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, was in fact shot in 3-D. So what exactly did Paramount Pictures do to convince Bay to use the technology for the film? Apparently, they went to Avatar director and 3-D guru James Cameron for assistance.

On May 18th, The Hollywood Reporter and Paramount hosted an event moderated by THR‘s Jay A. Fernandez where both James Cameron and Michael Bay sat down for the first time to discuss 3-D and its use in the new Transformers film. As of yesterday, a full 16-minutes of the interview has made its way online for all to see, and you can check it out after the jump!

Tom Fitzgerald_George Lucas

Star Wars has been all over the news lately ever since Star Tours: The Adventures Continue debuted in Orlando, Florida this past weekend. Recently, Kevin Pereira from G4’s Attack of the Show interviewed Disney Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald and film director George Lucas about what we can expect from the newly-updated ride (it hasn’t been updated since its debut in 1987) and, from what it sounds like, this is the Star Wars experience fans do not want to miss out on!

On the more interesting side of things, not only did they discuss the new ride, but Lucas also went into detail about why his 3D releases of the Star Wars films (starting next February with The Phantom Menace) will be much better than other recent releases of post-converted 3D movies, and also discussed the hang-up with the Star Wars live-action TV series and just how far along they actually are with it (the answer may surprise you!). Hit the jump to watch the interview!

Scorpion

With each episode of director Kevin Tancharoen’s Mortal Kombat: Legacy web series that goes live, the stories seem to get more and more interesting, especially for the fans that know this universe from playing the games religiously. Episode 7 is no different, featuring Scorpion (Ian Anthony Dale) and Sub Zero (Kevan Ohtsji) in Part 1 of what is presumably a two-part storyline. This one is an absolute must-watch for fans. Check it out below!

Real Steel Poster Crop 02

Green Lantern_3D

If you thought the last trailer for Green Lantern was awesome, wait until you see this! Essentially, this trailer (which will be in 3-D in theaters) takes a unique approach as far as movie trailers go, with the first half providing a narration by the character Tomar-Re (voiced by Geoffrey Rush) wonderfully summarizing the entire history of the Green Lantern Corps, and the second half going full throttle with tons of new action-packed footage! Take a look below (in 2-D, of course)!

TF3_3D Trailer

Transformers: Dark of the Moon has a new 3-D trailer out which will be shown before Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides if you go and see it in 3-D (which, from what I hear, is totally not worth it). Obviously, this trailer will not be in 3-D on this website, but it is still a great trailer in 2-D and, while it is very similar to the one just released a few weeks ago, it features a few new mind-blowing shots that are well worth a look. Check out the trailer after the jump!
