New THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Poster Debuts

Posted: 01 May 2012 10:40 AM PDT

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field).

Krief: Dears Guitarist's Solo Debut Fuelled by Anxiety, Despair and Depression

Indoor Recess

Patrick Krief is probably best known as the lead guitarist for indie darlings the Dears, but what people are discovering is that the Montreal native is a formidable solo artist in his own right. Starting in 2007, Krief released a debut EP titled Take it or Leave, followed it up with 2009's Calm Awaits under the band outfit Black Diamond Bay, and just last week the 32-year old singer/songwriter released his third effort A Hundred Thousand Pieces on Pirates Blend, the label operated by reggae rockers Bedouin Soundclash.

Oh and don't call him Patrick -- in these circles, he's known simply as "Krief."

Krief is a classic rock fan, citing the likes of John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix as influences, and is a classical music aficionado, as well. Beyond drawing parallels that both he and Thom Yorke "are Libras" he has no difficulty admitting he's "completely out of the loop" when it comes to the latest musical acts.

Tom Cruise to Star in Van Helsing Remake for Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman

Posted: 01 May 2012 10:59 AM PDT

Tom Cruise will star in and produce the Van Helsing remake

Universal Pictures today announced the studio has signed a two-year first-look production deal with one of the leading writing/producing teams in the entertainment industry, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, and their K/O Paper Products banner. The duo will kick off their new relationship with Universal by reimagining titles from the studio's library including Van Helsing and The Mummy. The announcement was made by Universal Pictures Chairman, Adam Fogelson and Co-Chairman, Donna Langley.

Kurtzman and Orci have collaborated with some of the industry's top creative minds including J.J. Abrams, with whom they wrote the third installment of Mission: Impossible, which grossed nearly $400 million at the worldwide box office. In 2007, they wrote Transformers and went on to write Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in 2009. Together, those films grossed more than $1.5 billion worldwide. More recently, the pair wrote and executive produced 2009's Star Trek, which grossed more than $385 million worldwide. Accompanying their impressive film resume, Kurtzman and Orci have found tremendous success in television, having created the series Fringe, writing/producing Alias and in 2010, producing the reboot of Hawaii Five-0. They also currently executive produce the highest rated show on Hasbro's The Hub, Transformers: Prime.

"Alex and Roberto are extraordinarily talented writers and producers who know the value of a great story in building successful tentpole films," Fogelson and Langley said in a joint statement. "They have been a major part of some of Hollywood's biggest movies and television shows in recent history, and we're eager to have them build on that success at Universal."

"We're thrilled to call Universal Pictures our home," said Kurtzman and Orci. "From the moment we sat down with Adam, Donna, Peter, Jeff and the entire Uni team, there was an instant flow of inspired ideas. They really understand the importance of building a strong creative team and giving our shared projects their full support. We're proud to start making movies that will live as part of Universal's enduring legacy."

Kurtzman and Orci's K/O Paper Products will develop and produce a modern reimagining of Universal library titles including The Mummy, alongside producer Sean Daniel and writer Jon Spaihts. The pair will also develop and produce Universal's reimagined Van Helsing, with Tom Cruise attached to star in and produce the film.

Kurtzman and Orci's upcoming projects include writing Sony's next installment of The Amazing Spider-Man; producing Now You See Me, for Lionsgate Summit, set for release in March 2013; and producing Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, also for Lionsgate Summit. Kurtzman and Orci wrote and produced People Like Us, which marks Kurtzman's directorial debut and is scheduled to be released in June 2012, and wrote and produced the second installment of Star Trek, set for release in 2013. The pair most recently rewrote We Mortals Are for Warner Bros., with Tom Cruise attached to star, Doug Liman to direct and Erwin Stoff to produce.

Kurtzman, Orci and the rest of their K/O Paper Products team, including President Bobby Cohen, will be housed on the Universal lot. Former assistants Benjamin Kim and Kim Cavyan will come aboard as creative executives. Kurtzman and Orci are represented by CAA and attorneys Michael Gendler and Kevin Kelly of Gendler & Kelly, APC.

Van Helsing was released May 7th, 2004 and stars Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale, Richard Roxburgh, David Wenham, Shuler Hensley, Elena Anaya, Will Kemp, Kevin J. O'Connor. The film is directed by Stephen Sommers.

The Mummy was released May 7th, 1999 and stars Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, Kevin J. O'Connor, Oded Fehr, Jonathan Hyde, Erick Avari. The film is directed by Stephen Sommers.

Ra's Al Ghul is Bane. In the third trailer if you listen to his dialogue you hear two voices. That of the actor playing him and Liam Neeson's voice over. If you listen to Gandalf's dialogue in his Two Towers reveal as Gandalf the White you will notice the same effect, as Christopher Lee does the same.
