Legendary Trio stepped forward for Heath

January 2008, the world suffered a great loss when a talented actor who ingeniously left us the best performance of Joker ever made, passed away. It granted him and proved his worthiness of receiving an Oscar for the best supporting actor. ‘The Dark Knight’ practically became a legend, where Heath Ledger marked his ending in filming industry with an unmatchable piece of art, or not.

(Clears throat…)

The truth unraveled that the role as Joker was not his last role before he died. From the director of ‘The Fisher King’, ’12 Monkeys’, Terry Gilliam brings you the reincarnation of Heath Ledger as Tony in a movie called ‘The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus’. However the filming got disrupted in the middle of completion due to Heath’s death. And most of all, Gilliam was a bit nervous that he might not complete the film at all.



That’s about time when the legendary three stepped forward to pay their last homage to a legend himself. They’re Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law. They offered themselves- all three- to play the role of Tony on Heath’s behalf. Now how would you think of that? I guess we just leave that to Gilliam to think of heh?


Well, this movie will be released on Christmas day this year. So I figure that it would be the best Christmas present of all for us. The final performance, would unravel this Christmas…

In loving memory of Heath Andrew Ledger

Popcorn With Zombie Part 2.

What up guys. Let's continue our list of this fall's most awaited movie as per published in Entertainment Weekly.

Precious: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire.
release date: 06-11-09

This movie won a lot of awards at the Sundance Festival. A story about an illiterate Harlem teenagers struglling with unwanted pregnancy. Sounds familiar? A tiny bit. Might be a surprisingly good movie regardless of the weird casts.

Will I see it?

Maybe. I don't know. Usually this type of movie will come out as a surprise or they just don't work out at all.










2012
release date: not 2012 (13-11-09)

This year we will going to see what it will be like when the world decided to end in 2012. It's kind of like a preview of what's to come.

Do you remember Roland Emmerich? Oh you'll remember him as long as you remember the exploding White House in Independence Day. That's his work. This time he promises mass property damage, a bigger scale of explosion and of course the end of the world. He even got John Cusack tagging along for the ride.

Will I see it?

Of course. Besides post apocalyptic movies, I also dig movies that features random people running helter skelter and screaming for help.



The Fantastic Mr. Fox
release date: 13-11-09

Do you like stop-mo animation? If you do then you're going to love this movie. Featuring the voice of George Clooney we will follow a band of foxes as they try to get through the threats from local farmers.

Will I see it?

Regrettably no. I'm not into animated movies, and seldom watch them unless it is exceptionally good or have receive a lot of hypes from all around. But, The Fantastic Mr. Fox looks like a great family movie. So watch this folks.

P/s: I don't know much about this movie. Is it an adaptation of Roald Dahl story with the same title?

The Twilight Saga: New Moon
release date: 20-11-09

If the poster does not get girls into seeing this movie, I don't know what will. This year Twilight saga continues with more good looks, vampires, more werewolves and awkward dialogues(don't kill me for that, it's true, look for them as they were loads of such dialogues in the movie). We will see Edward and Jacob murder each other with Bella looking horrified while trying to look awfully delicious in the background.

Will I see it?

No comment.








Broken Embrace
release date: 20-11-09

Penelope Cruz!

Will I see it?

Penelope Cruz!








Nine
release date: 25-11-09

Looks like we have two movies entitled nine this year but this one does not concern itself with apocalypse or machine overtaking the world. This nine is a movie musical featuring Daniel Day-Lewis, Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, and Sophia Loren. That spells hot women in hot clothes and dancing (refer to the picture on your left).

Will I see it?

Maybe.








The Lovely Bones
release date: 11-12-09

I have mentioned this movie before. By now I guess you know what the movie is all about

Will I see it?

Yes. Peter Jackson and story by Alice Sebold. Definitely going to watch this.




Avatar
release date: 18-12-09

After thrashing Christian Bale's light in Terminator Salvation, Sam Worthington returns in a movie by James Cameron. That is awkward, but anyway it has been a while since James Cameron take on the sci fi genre and I'm thrilled to see he's back on his turf.

Will I see it?

Yes for Sam Worthington.










Did You Hear About The Morgans?
release date: 18-12-09

No, I haven't heard of the Morgans, and I don't want to hear anything from them. I disagree with EW on this one.

Will I see it?

No. Hugh Grant...I hate Hugh Grant.













Sherlock Holmes
release date: 25-12-09

It is definitely a nice christmas gift for all of us. After ditching the heavy iron suit, Robert Downy Jr. returns as the famous detective and futhermore with Jude Law as his trusted sidekick Watson. What could be more thrilling than that?

Will I see it?

Yes, yes, yes.









There you have it, all twenty movies coming out on the later part of this year. Personally there are some movies that I think should have made the list but didn't. Anyway hope this will give y'all some insights on movies to watch. Happy viewing.

Zombie, out.

Popcorn With Zombie Part 1.

Hey guys. Since Roldan is MIA, I'll be your friendly neighborhood host for a while. Hope you're not sick of me (yet).

Alright, Entertainment Weekly has publishes 20 movies coming out this fall that they just can't wait to see. Let's check em' out and see if Zombie (and you) agrees.

Nine
release date: 09-09-09

Tim Burton? - Check.
Timur Bekmembetov? - Check.
Oscar winner Shane Acker? - Check.

Honesty this is one of the most anticipated movie for Zombie. It has everything that you'll ever wish for. Three big names, magnificent voice talents, and cool release date.

What else do you want?

Ticket to the movie? - Check.








The Informant
release date: 18-09-09

ZOMG! Matt Damon!

I can hear Roldan screaming already.

Will I see it?

Yes, for Matt's packing up extra fat for the role and his goofy look in the poster.





Jennifer's Body
release date: 18-09-09

Megan Fox, please eat me.

Will I see it?

Are you kidding? It's Megan Fox. With the word body in the title and the teen horror flick premise, I won't think twice.

MUST SEE!











Shutter Island
release date: 02-10-09

Martin Scorsese and Leornardo Dicaprio, two names that never fails to deliver. With a noir feel to it, this one hold some promises.

Will I see it?

Yes, for Leo-D creepy stare.













Capitalism: A love Story
release date: 02-10-09

Michael Moore and his latest documentary on America.

Will I see it?

I think I'll sit this one out cos' it's too smart for me. Besides, I don't know why Michael Moore and I can't be friends.





Couples Retreat
release date: 09-10-09

Vince Vaughn plus many other big names thrown into the mix. Tropical paradise, couples, sandy beaches, couples, Vince Vaughn, couples. Did i mention there are a lot of couples?

Will I see it?

Most of you might disagree with me. But this is one of the movie in the list that did not catch my interest one bit. Maybe it's because of Vince Vaughn...I don't know. Used to like his work tho, but meh, not anymore.




Zombieland
release date: 09-10-09

Finally a zombie movie and a very good one too. Trailer looks good. It kinda remind me of Rodriguez's Planet Terror. This one will be a gut busting ride.

Will I see it?

Definitely! Oh my, look how big Abigail Breslin is now.












The Road
release date: 16-10-09

It is always nice to visit post apocalyptic world (in a creepy way of course). And to top it off, it's based on a Pulitzer winning novel by none other than Cormac McCarthy (author of No Country For Old Men). Should the movie follow closely to the book, then we're going to see some disturbing and really messed up stuff.

Will I see it?

Yes. I am always a sucker for post apocalypse movie.









Where The Wild Things Are
release date: 16-10-09

Okay, I have a confession to make. The monsters illustration used to creep the hell out of me (still do).

Anyway, this year as I said in previous posts, is the year for book adaptations. Joining the regiment is the ever popular Maurice Sendak's creepy ass (to me that is) Where The Wild Things Are.

Will I see it?

Although I am a bit reluctant but yes, I will see it. The movie probably going to give me nightmares for days (might be for the entire week) but since it is one of the most anticipated movie this year, I'll watch it.






A Christmas Carol
release date: 06-11-09

Another book adaptation to the addition of this fall's movie. Who does not know this book must be an alien. Robert Zemeckis and Jim Carrey team up to bring one of the great classic ever made by the great man himself ,Charles Dicken, to the big screen in glorious 3D.

Will I watch it?

Yes, Jim Carrey makes a perfect Ebeneezer Scrooge.










That's it guys, the first part for this fall's most anticipated movie. Be sure to check in back later for the second part of the list.

This is Zombie signing out.

Jackson's District

Peter Jackson. Who does not know that name after the larger than life success of Tolkien's Lord of The Ring Series brought to life on the big screen. But we have not heard of Jackson for quite some time. There are the rumors about him producing Halo with Neill on the director seat, but that, as you guys know it, have been just another history. This year we heard from him again and in two great looking movies.

One is based on Alice Sebold's popular novel, The Lovely Bones whereby we see Jackson on the director's chair. From the early looks, The Lovely Bones look pretty solid. Great actors, nice panoramic shots and awesome score, is indeed worth a try. However I haven't receive any news or updates regarding this movie, and the hype-meter is not all that high. But don't be surprised, this movie might be this year's shocker.

Another project with Jackson's name plastered on it is the highly acclaimed District 9. Long before the release of its official trailer, people was already talking about it. Started from a short film by Neill Blomkamp, the concept seemed to caught Jackson's interest. and he agreed to produce a full length movie with Neill as the director and himself on the producer seat. From all the positive reviews and praises this movie received, I'm guessing that District 9 will be one of 2009 favorites.

Since stirring the world with his three short clips about Halo entitled landfall, Neill's works have piqued much interest from people. And he should, in my opinion. District 9 is not merely your average alien movie or otherwise rotten tomatoes won't give it a 100 percent and labeled it as 'fresh'.

Be sure to catch two of Jackson's works this year.

The Lovely Bones

District 9

Neill Original Short Film - Alive In Joberg

More Neill, Halo - Landfall

Spielberg Wants Master Chief.

HALO project to the big screen has been stalled for quite some time. From Jerry Bruckheimer to Peter Jackson, Master Chief appearance is yet to be confirmed. Neill Blomkamp and Peter Jackson won't be in for HALO. That's for sure, since they have their own alien movie (and a very good one too...positive reviews all around folks).

It appears that Master Chief, one of the most iconic figure in modern gaming, will be left forever in the dark. That is until one man decided he wanted in and that man is an icon himself. Steven Spielberg is reported to have been engaging in an active negotiations develop the feature film adaptation. Yes, Steven Spielberg.

After he loses Transformers to Paramount, maybe this guy planning to have HALO as a stepping stone for his new independant studio. But hey, whatever his motives might be, I am thrilled with this news. There is no other person that is better in the producer seat for HALO than Steven Spielberg.

With him taking active role in negotiation, we can finally finish the fight with Master Chief and Cortana on the big screen.

Let's just hope that Spielberg won't cast Shia as Master Chief...just kidding.

"Damn those ET's,"
said Master Chief after destroying a covenant ship.

Darren Shan Joins The Vampire Lot.

It seems that this fall will witness vampires roaming the theaters. Besides the twilight second installment, Cirque Du Freak will be joining the vamps lineups. And, my good friends and neighbours, if you check out the line-ups for the rest of this year, it appears that novels are springing to life. We have a good number of adaptation coming out this year such as Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones and if the release date is not pushed back, we might catch Cormac McCarthy's The Road as well. What an interesting scenario for the movie scene this year.

Anyway, back to Cirque Du Freak. I, was a fan once (until I kinda lose interest in the final quarter of the saga) and frankly admitted that this is one of the movie I wanted to see. Although adaptations rarely celebrates success, but I am intrigued with Darren Shan. How will they crammed three books into two hours movie? That, I would like to see (FYI - Darren Shan or Cirque Du Freak were divided into four parts with each parts consisting of three books). I've heard complaints about the movie not sticking to original plot (so did with all books adaptation) but I am not against the decision to tweak Darren Shan. Maybe, the fine-tune will help to eliminate problems with the book. I hope it will or I might stop seeing the movie right after the vampire assistant.

So check out the trailer. It looks good, featuring few known names such as JC Reily, Salma Hayek, Ken Watanabe and not forgetting Josh Hutcherson. The movie seems to be less darker than the book, more comical and somewhat light-hearted - which is good, because we don't need another serious and brooding vampire story. As you all know, Cirque Du Freak is written for kids (a bit goosebump-ish if you ask me) but how about the movie? I think they'll strive for something in between childish and seriousness. But that just me. We will just have to wait and see how it will turn out.

Cirque Du Freak will be hitting the cinema this fall.

This is Zombie, signing out.

P/s: Is it just me that the trailer seems a bit Tim Burton-esque with the shots and everything? What do you think?
