In this new segment, we'll take a look at the news stories making movie news headlines in Hollywood and my opinion on the matter. So let's get this started....
The Oscars
With the Academy Awards wrapping up last Sunday, we saw who our big winners were and who left empty handed. However, the biggest story is Lupita Nyong'o taking home the best supporting actress award. I was a great supporter of Nyong'o winning the award. I've read many opinions that Nyong'o did not deserve the award, but that it should have gone to Jennifer Lawrence. While JLaw's performance in American Hustle (a film which won no awards) was good, it was not special, unlike her performance in Silver Linings Playbook last year.From the most anticipated movie awards of the year to...
The MTV Movie Awards Nominees
So the MTV movie awards released their nominations.... yeah, not really news, but I do want to touch on something (well, two things)First, who decided that the cast of Catching Fire fighting mutant monkeys was a better than fight than Superman vs General Zod? or Iron Man and his suits vs Killian? or one of the shoot outs in Lone Survivor?
Second, who decided that Mila Kunis was a better Villain than... well... ANY other villain this year???
At least the nominees for best hero include the big three comic book heroes of 2013.
Maybe we'll see this next guy become the next big hero...
The Mask of Zorro Reboot!
Seeing how I am SeñorMovie, how could I not talk about this? Growing up on 1998's Mask of Zorro, I always had a soft spot for Antonio Banderas. Unfortunately, he won't be returning for the reboot. So will this new 'Zorro' reboot be a success or a another failed reboot? The producers are stating they want to give this new film "The Dark Knight" treatment (and who doesn't want to emulate what The Dark Knight did for vigilante movies?). Does this mean we'll be ditching the humor of The Mask of Zorro and be treated to a memorable (hopefully Hispanic) villain? We'll just have to wait, as the script is still being written.
Speaking of comic book movies....
The Amazing Spider-Man Releases Clips and New Posters
Stop releasing so much, Sony!! I've already started avoiding new images and trailers for this movie because I'm pretty sure I'd be able to piece the entire movie together by how much they've released. But if you want to watch these clips (narrated by Stan Lee), here's the link to the Schmoes Know website, where the clips are conveniently located on one page.
Check out this awesome poster, though! It's really cool, but does anyone else think it looks like a video game cover?
Speaking of video games...
The Last of Us Headed to the Big Screen
The popular and acclaimed video game about zombie survival The Last of Us has gotten the green light by Sony, Naughty Dog, and Screen Gems. With Director Sam Raimi attached to the project, can we expect a movie that will make video game adaptations legitimate? While I didn't play the game, I'm hoping the film proves to be successful, along with the Assassin's Creed adaptation that is in the works. It'll help further the interest in video game film adaptations, and maybe, just maybe, some day we'll get a Halo movie. Who knows, maybe video game adaptations will become the billion dollar generating movies that comic book movies have become.
This has been SeñorMovie news, I'll see you at the theater!
