According to the filmmakers, they’re looking to turn the teaser into a feature-length film that would “explore how robotic augmentations will affect a future society and ultimately ask the question of what it means to exist.” Until that happens, though, expect a short film based off the teaser by Summer 2012. The whole thing was shot in Bangkok by director Stephan Zlotescu.

Every line Rihanna has in Battleship
So after “Battleship” had one of the worst openings since Disney’s “John Carter,” there has been some people saying that Rihanna’s cameos in the trailer only made things worse. The idea is that her horrible acting and absurd placement into an action film led to an incredible drop in credibility and interest. I completely agree. If you don’t, I highly recommend that you take a look at all of her lines from the movie. I have posted them below, and they are ridiculous:
- “What’s wrong with you drama queen?
- “Get up princess! Come on!”
- “Typical”
- “Shut up. Shut up.”
- “Oh, this gon’ be sweet. He hates the man.”
- “You go mess with him and see what happens!”
- “Chicken!”
- “Kentucky Fried Chicken!”
- “You look like Colonel Sanders, actually.”
- “Yo Saunders, ever been in a department run by some kind of Donald Trump/Mike Tyson mutant combo?”
- “Nothing, sir.”
- “If you did, it was only in reference to the fact the you both project great physical intensity, sir.”
- “I got something sir, on my camera.”
- “I don’t know.”
- “Is this some kind of exercise?”
- “You ever seen anything like this?”
- “Weird, man.”
- “Real bad idea, Lieutenant.”
- “Lieutenant, get up.”
- “Lieutenant.”
- “Come on, you with me?”
- “Come on, squared away?”
- “What the hell is that?”
- “Ahhhhhhh!”
- “Ahhhhhhh!”
- “What happened?”
- “What?”
- “Who’s in charge?”
- “Fire control’s offline. I need three minutes.”
- “(Heavy sigh)”
- “My dad said they’d come. Said it my whole life. He said one day we’d find them, or they’d find us. Know what else he said? He said, I hope I aint around when that day comes.”
- “No sir!”
- “Nothing sir, nothing.”
- “Yo, hey!”
- “Come on, come on, come on.”
- “Mahalo, motherfu—”
- “What the hell is that?”
- “Sir.”
- “Roger, Echo 1-1.”
- “Box 24. Ready to fire.”
- “India 3-7, locked.”
- “Sir, we’re hot over here. We’re good to go, let’s light ‘em up.”
- “Tango 1-9, loaded.”
- “Whiskey 2-5.”
- “Negative, sir, it’s moving all over the place. I can’t get a line on it.”
- “Sucker’s really jumping around.”
- “40 minutes sir.”
- “Contact is seven minutes out and closing fast.”
- “Contact two miles out.”
- “Contact ETA 21 seconds.”
- “Boom.”
- “Yeah!”
- “Get up!”
- “Let’s go!”
- “Go, go, go!”
- “Yes, sir.”
- “Oh yes sir.”
- “Awesome.”
- “Sir, we’ll be in weapons range in 5 minutes.”
- “Aimed at target.”
- “Sir, that’s the wrong direction!”
- “Sir.”
- “Coordinates.”
- “Elevation.”
- “Come on, take the picture, Beast.”
- “Navy!”
- “Come on, Hopper!”
- “Look dapper!”
Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pinocchio” will have Christopher Walken, Tom Waits, and possibly Daniel Radcliffe
Guillermo Del Toro announced that they will begin production on his take of Pinocchio sometime next summer. Del Toro says that his version of Carlo Collodi’s 19th Century book will be much more “surreal and slightly darker” which I don’t think will surprise anybody who is familiar with his films. He has just started casting and so far he is doing a fucking tremendous job.
While no one’s locked in just yet, del Toro said he does have a few names in mind. He revealed that Christopher Walken and Tom Waits were on his wishlist, and let slip that Daniel Radcliffe had already expressed an interest in joining the project. More details after he jump.
The filmmaker spilled the beans to the Cannes Marché du Film attendees via video conference earlier this week. According to del Toro, Radcliffe has approached del Toro about “getting involved” in the project. While he did not mention whom Radcliffe might be playing, the obvious guess is that he’d take the starring role of Pinocchio.
Del Toro also named Waits as a hopeful for an unspecified role — likely that of Pinocchio’s father, as mentioned last week. Interestingly, he also floated the idea of Walken playing the fox in the story, although he said not long ago that Donald Sutherland was in consideration for that same part. In any case, it’s all just talk at this point. As del Toro himself was careful to emphasize, no actors are currently signed on to the project.
During the call, del Toro also confirmed that production is on track to hit theaters sometime in 2014. The shoot is expected to take about a year. “Stop motion takes that long to gather footage,” he noted. Pinocchio will be del Toro’s first time helming an animated feature. Fortunately, he’ll have help from folks with more experience. Co-director Gustafson served as animation director on Fantastic Mr. Fox, and the project is being backed by the Jim Henson Co. As of last year, UK company McKinnon and Saunders, which also worked on Fantastic Mr. Fox, were on board to make the puppets.
As previously reported, del Toro intends for his Pinocchio to be ”more surreal and slightly darker” than earlier adaptations of the tale, as well as more faithful to Carlo Collodi‘s 19th century book. However, the story will be modernized somewhat, taking place in Italy between the two World Wars (“when everyone was behaving like a puppet, except for puppets,” says Del Toro). Nick Cave is lined up as the film’s music consultant, while the visuals will take inspiration from the work of Gris Grimly.
Watch “Moon,” one of my favorite movies of all time, for free on Youtube right now
For whatever reason, the spectacular film ‘Moon’, directed by Duncan Jones and starring Sam Rockwell is streaming for free on YouTube. If you’ve never seen it, you really should, it’s one of Rockwell’s best flicks, and he has been in some pretty solid flicks.
4 minute SUPER PREVIEW for The Amazing Spiderman
Other than the Skrillex-esque soundtrack this flick looks pretty good. Andrew Garfield plays a Peter Parker that is 1,000 times more likeable than Tobey Macguire and Emma stone is 1,000,000 times better than Kirsten Dunst in every single way. The Lizard looks a little poorly produced but regardless I think the rest of the movie will make up for that. Plus Dennis Leary, oh and my boy Rhys Ifans?! (If you don’t know who he is then go watch The Replacements and Pirate Radio right meow) Sign me up!
