Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura Talks TRANSFORMERS 4 Setting And Potential New Trilogy

Posted: 04 Feb 2013 10:21 AM PST

Speaking with MTV, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura talks about the next Transformers movie from director Michael Bay, who calls it the first film of a brand new trilogy. When asked about the chances of more Transformers films from Bay, he expresses his hopes to see the helmer continue working on the series and that we'll definitely see more should audiences continue to come in. "Well, I can't speak for Michael. I hope he would. It would be great. But it's certainly something that, in our design of this, it's gonna be an ongoing story. And so, as long as the audience shows up for us, there's a lot of stories to be told." Additionally, he comments on the fourquel's new setting, which he says it's completely different from the last three movies despite being set in the same world. "There's a lot of new elements.

Renny Harlin Confirmed to Direct Hercules 3D

Renny Harlin will direct Hercules 3D for Millennium Entertainment

Millennium Entertainment has set Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2: Die Harder) to direct their upcoming big screen adventure Hercules 3D. The project is being put on the fast track, in hopes they can beat Paramount and MGM's Hercules, which will be released on August 8, 2014.

Sean Hood and Hanna Weg wrote the screenplay, which Millennium has been developing since 2007. The script provides a revisionist take on the classic character from Greek mythology, although no story details have been provided. Here's what the director had to say about the project, comparing it to Best Picture winner Gladiator.

"It's not a comic book, cartoony fantasy thing. It's closer to Gladiator than flying horses."

When asked about the competing Hercules project, which has Dwayne Johnson attached to star and Brett Ratner slated to direct, Renny Harlin revealed they are two very different projects.

"I think these are very different kinds of movies in their approach to this legendary character. Obviously, Hercules has been portrayed in many different films, such as the Disney animated movie. I wish them luck. Ancient Greek mythology is an endless source of good stories ... Let's see both movies be successful."

Casting is expected to begin shortly for the eight lead roles, with Millennium hoping to begin production this May in Sofia, Bulgaria for a March 2014 release. Les Weldon and Danny Lerner are producing.

Ron Sexsmith, Forever Endeavour: Singer Confronts Own Mortality on New Album

Ron SexsmithRon Sexsmith Facebook

In 2011, Ron Sexsmith raised more than a few eyebrows with Long Player Late Bloomer, a bombastic Bob Rock-produced pop album that put a critical darling into commercial consciousness. Nominated for both the Polaris Music Prize and a Juno, it was a breakthrough album for Sexsmith.

The singer/songwriter could have played it safe and gone the same route with the follow-up but, when it came to recording the songs that make up his 13th studio album, Forever Endeavour, Sexsmith weighed his options.

"I had the songs, but I didn't know where to go with them," he tells Spinner. "I thought about working with Bob, but I didn't think these songs could withstand that kind of production."

When CBS announced that How I Met Your Mother would return for a ninth and final season next year, the network took the unusual extra step of proclaiming that the show's heretofore unseen "mother" would be also finally be revealed.

HIMYM co-creator Craig Thomas (who says he wasn't consulted on that part of the release) admits he was surprised that CBS felt the need to spell it out. "The plan has always been to meet this girl at some point," he says. "I think we would be forbidden from show business if we ended the series without meeting the mother, and rightfully so. They want to make sure, I guess, that the audience knows they're not going to be jerked around or short changed in any way."

Pacific Rim Photos with Commentary from Director Guillermo Del Toro

Posted: 04 Feb 2013 07:56 AM PST

Warner Bros. did not air new footage of their upcoming summer thriller Pacific Rim during Super Bowl XLVII last night, but we have the next best thing today. The studio has unveiled eight new photos from director Guillermo del Toro's sci-fi thriller, which pits giant robots against earth threatening kaiju monsters. This latest look at the film features cast members Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, and the huge Jaeger robots that are used to fight off these dangerous monsters some 15 years after they emerged from the Pacific Ocean to wreck havoc. Take a look at these latest photos, along with commentary from Guillermo del Toro.

Pacific Rim Photo 1

"They are evolving, they are becoming bigger, stronger and smarter, and it's a very tough war."

Pacific Rim Photo 2

"We're trying very, very hard to make the fight scenes in the movie very visceral, very much like you are there. It's a very brutal series of battles we wage."

Pacific Rim Photo 3

"He's a guy who has a very noble heart and a very good presence, but the things he's trying to surmount are big."

Pacific Rim Photo 4

"She is facing her own personal demons when she attempts to ride a Jaeger and try to control it. She has a very personal story of destruction with the Kaiju - they basically took everything away from her."

Pacific Rim Photo 5

"Once you're in the robot you have to become one. You have to put aside everything you hate or love about the other person and just work together or we will not survive. That was the idea, that leaning and relying on each other is what makes us stronger."

Pacific Rim Photo 6

"We needed to create pamphlets, magazines, credentials, signing, construction manuals, logos, uniform patches, everything. We had to literally create every detail."

Pacific Rim Photo 7

"They're essentially destruction machines. One of the things the movie tries to do is evoke an incredibly rousing sense of romantic adventure - the big adventures you'd want to see as a kid."

Pacific Rim Photo 8

"No one believes in them anymore. Pacific Rim is a movie designed to put movie fans in the middle of this grand battle "and have characters that hopefully everybody can get a very good emotional grip on and enjoy the ride."

The director first spoke about creating a world that has been forever changed by the Kaiju and the Jaegers.

"It's really creating a world that's been shaped by two anomalies: the giant monsters and the giant robots we create to fight them."

The humans that control these Jaegers are called "riders," a callback to classic Westerns, and the director also reveals there is another Western trope added into this futuristic thriller.

"We made it a point to put the sound of spurs like a cowboy."

Idris Elba also spoke about his character Marshall Stacker Pentecost, the spiritual and moral leader of these Jaeger pilots.

"He's not playing second banana. He's at the center of the conflict. He's the only guy who cannot give up."

Guillermo del Toro also spoke about his favorite Kaiju creature, which he lovingly refers to as "Leatherback."

"I find him very, very endearing. He has a big belly so I identify with him. He's no doubt my main man."

Pacific Rim comes to theaters July 12th, 2013 and stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Diego Klattenhoff, Burn Gorman, Robert Kazinsky. The film is directed by Guillermo del Toro.

Actor Johnny Depp is attached to play notorious gangster Whitey Bulger in the new mobster movie "Black Mass," according to Deadline. Whitey, a violent criminal from South Boston, was famously captured in 2011 after 16 years on the run.
