Metropolis

In exciting news for Cinema historians and lovers of classic Sci-Fi, the long thought lost original 210 minute cut of Metropolis has been located in a Buenos Aires vault. Professor Martin Koerber, who is behind the discovery and restoration, stated that "No matter how bad the condition of the material may be, the original intention of the film, including all of its minor characters and subplots, is now once again tangible for the normal viewer. The rhythm of the film has been restored,".

RIP Tartan Films

Variety reports that Tartan Films has gone out of business after more than 26 years.  Tartan were responsible for an eclectic range of DVD releases, and were responsible for bringing a wide variety of Japanese and Korean action and horror movies (including the works of Takashii Miike and Park Chan Wook) to a western audience, together with introducing a new generation to classic 70's horror and exploitation with it's 'Grindhouse' label.

This is a great loss for fans of genre and foreign cinema, and hopefully someone will step up to the plate and ensure that UK and USA audiences still have access to this material.

Saw V

Teaser poster for this years entry in the Saw series.  Whilst the first film was entertaining in a low budget, grimy way the sequels have become increasingly disappointing and convoluted.  Still they certainly bring in the money and I assume Lionsgate will keep churning them out as long as this is the case.

RIP George Carlin

Although best known as a stand up comic, George Carlin, who has died aged 71, had a number of movie roles to his name. Perhaps best known to cinema goers as Rufus in Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure, Carlin was also a regular in Kevin Smith movies, notably as Cardinal Glick in Dogma and Ben Afflecks father in Jersey Girl.

Zack and Miri

It looks like Kevin Smith's latest comedy may have hit rating problems in the US, according to star Seth Rogen. In an interview with MTV, Rogen is quoted as saying

"The MPAA is gunning for us, I think,"[...] "It's a really filthy movie. I hear they are having some problems getting an R rating from an NC-17 rating, which is never good."

Rogen goes on to point out the strange double standards at the US rating boards, where films like Hostel come through relatively unscathed but scenes showing (or even discussing) intercourse are frowned upon.

Of course, this is not the first time Kevin Smith has had trouble with the ratings board, with his debut film Clerks initially been given an NC-17 rating before distributor Miramax appealed.

Another 80's series is set for a revival, with news that Eddie Murphy will return to his Beverly Hills Cop franchise next year, in a new film helmed by Rush Hour director Brett Ratner. Apparently the new film will be aimed at a more friendly audience, according to this quote from MTV news

When asked what is biggest challenge would be, Ratner seemed to indicate that his new film would be geared towards a very PG audience.
“10-year-old kids, 12-year-old kids don’t really know the old ‘Beverly Hills Cop.’ So it’s an opportunity to make it new for kids,” Ratner said. “The same way it felt for me watching ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ when I was a kid, that’s what I want to do for kids today.”

Harry Potter and the Haf Blood Prince

Two new images from the sixth Harry Potter film. The recently released official plot synopsis is as follows:-

Official Plot Synopsis: Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort’s defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn’t counted on Romilda Vane’s chocolates! And then there’s Hermione, simpering with jealously but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.

Guillermo Del Toro and Peter Jackson recently hosted a web chat regarding the forthcoming Hobbit Movies. The full transcript can be found here. Amongst the highlights

* The look of the films will be consistent with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, however some creatures will be redesigned and there will be a greater reliance on practical rather than CGI effects.

* Wherever possible, they will avoid recasting characters. Some characters who appeared in Lord of the Rings but not the Hobbit may make an appearance in the second film.

*Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis are definitely returning

*The reminder of the year will be spent writing the films, with Del Toro scripting aongside LOTR writers Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Phillipa Boyems.

*2009 will be pre-production, with shooting in 2010 and release of the films in December 2011 and 2012

*Howard Shore will be returning to score the films

Theres obviously something in the water, as hot on the heels on the recently announced Highlander remake, Sony Pictures have acquired the rights to another 80's 'classic' featuring a Queen soundtrack, Flash Gordon.

Ok, the film, to be directed by Breck Eisner ('Sahara') will likely take it's nod from the original comic book and film serials as opposed to the camp eighties excess of Mike Hodge's version, but we can only hope that there's room for Brian Blessed to don his tights and bellow 'Gordon's alive!' one more time.

Still saddled with a terrible title and pg-13 rating, Warner have released the official plot synopsis for the first in the new Terminator trilogy:-

In the highly anticipated new installment of "The Terminator" film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

The film also stars Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese, Charlotte Gainsbourg as Kate Connor, Moon Bloodgood as Blair Williams, Common as Barnes, and Jadagrace as Star.

At night Victor runs a scam by deliberately choking in upscale restaurants to form parasitic relationships with the wealthy patrons who “save” him. When, in a rare lucid movement, Ida reveals that she has withheld the shocking truth of his father’s identity, Victor enlists the aid of his best friend, Denny (Henke) and his mother’s beautiful attending physician, Dr. Paige Marshall (Macdonald), to solve the mystery before the truth of his possibly divine parentage is lost forever. The film is adapted from the best-selling, critically acclaimed novel by Chuck Palahniuk.
