I guess the good thing about a Wanted sequel is that since 99% of the characters introduced in the film died, there’s always that cool wax hot tub/bath thing to bring anyone they need back. Hallelujah! I’m not sure what I would have done without Angelina Jolie and her angry elbows. According to a Russian news outlet (eh… sketchy), the sequel to Wanted is all set for filming right about the time fall kicks summer in the pants and preps …

These are just estimates, but it appears “The Hangover” ($33,415,000) has repeated as box office champ, with “Up” ($30,515,000) coming in a strong second, in virtual spitting distance of the “surprise” R-rated comedy. John Travolta and Denzel came in third with “The Taking of Pelham 123” ($25,000,000), and the top five was rounded out by “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” ($9,600,000) and “Land of the Lost” ($9,153,000). Paramount Pictures must be thrilled their Eddie Murphy-headlined “Imagine That” …
According to “The Lord of the Rings” nerds at TheOneRing.net, some dude (probably a D&D champ) named Theodred was tuning into BBC radio and heard “The Hobbit” director Guillermo del Toro serve up some casting nuggets regarding Hugo Weaving (Elrond), Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Andy Serkis (Gollumn). It seems the three thesps will reprise their LOTR roles in the “The Hobbit,” due in theaters sometime after Jesus returns to smite the Earth. You can listen to the BBC interview by …
Wah-waaaaaaaah. Yeah, so Sunday numbers were finally sorted out and as fate would have it, The Hangover bested Pixar’s UP with $45 million. And while that makes The Hangover the number one moneymaker over the weekend, it still doesn’t change the fact that here at AATM, we still know everything and were right up to about4 hours ago.
If you simply cannot wait until November and must have your fix of Christmas festivity in June, then keep reading, because next week, on June 16th, Disney is rolling, literally, into Ogden with its “A Christmas Carol” train tour. Yessirree, the Robert Zemeckis-directed “multi-sensory event” hits theaters on November 6, 2009, but someone at Disney and Hewlett Packard thought it would be the shiz niz to chug on down the tracks, stopping in sixteen cities to promote the Jim Carrey-as-Ebenezer-Scrooge …
So Up retained the number one spot at the box office this weekend with a $44.2 million take, giving a Three Stooge slap, bonk and poke to The Hangover (if just barely) and kicking Will Ferrell and Land of the Lost where they might not have deserved it most- right in the pruney. Which goes to prove Andy and Dan are both prophetic. Or good guessers. Or a couple dudes who can simply state the obvious. Let’s go with the …
But not just any shield. A shield cobbled from the very bowels of Zeuss himself. Actually, I can’t remember and totally made that part up, but this is a picture of Sam “I’m the the new hotness” Worthington as Perseus in the “coming along very nicely, thank you” remake of Clash of the Titans. The image comes from UK based uber-movie mag Empire as scanned by /Film and as quickly propagated across the internet by everyone. Take that, exclusivity. The …
Everybody loves “Up” and that was etched in stone over the weekend when theatergoers anxious to see Pixar’s new computer animated masterpiece poured in $68.2 million, knocking “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” out of first place and dropping “Terminator Salvation” to fourth place. “Star Trek” stayed strong in the fifth spot, with a four week gross of $209.5 million. Frankly, I can’t see “Up” relinquishing the top spot anytime soon, either. I don’t think upcoming releases “Land …
And by revealed I mean James Cameron’s Avatar has released some concept art that’s not just lame set/bluescreen shots or images destined to be yanked by Fox studios. This is real, approved stuff– replete with Camerony future-military/fantastic fingerprints. Beholden (and click to beholden bigger): I’m a sucker for anything military/future military, so seeing stuff like this just fills my nerdy heart with unabated gid. I’m still not buying into the incredibly verbose hype that’s echoing off any mention of Avatar, …
In a perfect underlining of why Pixar’s closest rival and unfathomable moneymaker creatively sucks and hates the audiences who still shovel gobs of cash into their slackjawed maws, Dreamworks Animation announced their ambitious plans to crap out five new animated features every two years. This shouldn’t be hard, considering the total rehash and ugly character design each and every one of their films tend to plop on eager audiences every year. With the exception of the charming Kung Fu Panda, …
