Our featured trailer this
week is the energetic new clip for the next entry in Marvel’s “Avengers”
ramp-up, Captain America: The First
Avenger. Jim Carrey waddles his way back onto screen accompanied by six
flightless birds in the adaptation of the children’s book Mr. Popper’s Penguins and then Tom Hanks get’s a little quirky in
his second directorial outing with Larry
Crowne in which he also stars. Super
Size Me documentarian Morgan Spurlock continues to go in interesting
directions with The Greatest Movie Ever
Sold which was financed entirely with product placement and finally fresh
Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo tries his hand in directing with Sympathy for Delicious. You know what
else is tasty? Trailer Tracker; it’s augar, spice and everything nice.
Welcome
back to Player Affinity’s Sports Movie Madness! Last week, we held the
opening round of voting to determine the best sports movie ever. You
voted, and we’ve got your results, as well as matchups for Round 2.
But first, let’s recap for those of you new to the tournament. In
the Sports Movie Madness tournament, there are seven sports and one
mega-category of miscellaneous sports, so eight regions total. This is
the Football Region. Below are the four football films remaining after
the first round of voting. There are two matchups based on our original
seedings, and your job is to pick which movie you deem worthy of winning
each matchup. Simply enter a comment by Sunday at 5:00 pm with
the two movies you think should win each matchup (once again, not
any two movies, but one of the two movies going up against each other,
so no voting for Remember the Titans and Friday Night Lights,
only one or the other) and your votes count! After a winner is
determined in each region, those films will face off against one another
until we have a winner!
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader wasn’t the big hit that people in the film industry had hoped for, but it has done enough business to justify the series to continue. Voyage of the Dawn Treader
debuted at number one in the US box office, but only made about $107
million. Not good for a film that cost $155 million. However, it made
$300 million worldwide and its total gross was over $400 million.
Production for Wrath of the Titans looks to be getting underway
shortly, as Warner Bros. just released the official synopsis for the
film, which can be seen below:
“A decade after his heroic
defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus (Worthington) – the demigod son
of Zeus (Neeson) – is attempting to live a quieter life as a village
fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius.
Viggo Mortensen hit the rumor mill quite some time ago as a candidate to play General Zod in the upcoming Superman reboot. During the intense press junket for his latest film, Sucker Punch, Zack Snyder was asked about Mortensen, and here’s what he told Latino Review when questioned about Mortensen’s involvement: “Yeah Viggo is not going to be in the movie let’s say that right now. I can clear that up.”
