Indy IV Poster and Plot Details
December 10th, 2007The official movie site has released the poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Here it is!
Fits in well with the first three. I like.
And then there is this from USA Today via Dark Horizons
First up, the action is set at the height of the Cold War in 1957 which mean the character has aged in real time — 19 years since 1989’s “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade“.
Once the now quiet-life leading archaeologist is thrust back into danger, the signature Indiana Jones red line tracing across the map will take him to New Mexico, Connecticut, Mexico City and the jungles of Peru on a quest for South American relics with supernatural powers.
Despite all the gray-hair jokes, Indy is still swinging from dangerous precipices and absorbing punches. In the process he’s racing for the Crystal Skull against operatives from the Soviet Union, including Cate Blanchett as the seductive Agent Spalko, and Ray Winstone as an unethical rival archaeologist.
The theory behind the skulls themselves are that they are shaped by either higher powers, alien powers, or an ancient Mayan civilization.

Weekend Box Office 12-07-07 to 12-09-07
December 10th, 2007
The Golden Compass found it’s way to the top spot this week knocking Enchanted down to the two spot. This Christmas somehow continues to make money staying in the number three spot. Fred Claus jumped up two spots to number 4, while Beowulf dropped 3 to number 5. No Country For Old Men continues it’s climb up the top 10 as it climbs 4 spots to 6. The Mist continued it’s box office failure by falling out of the top 10 this week as well.
This coming weekend is sure to be a big one with the family friendly Alvin and The Chipmunks, and the highly anticipated Will Smith lead I Am Legend. I think Will Smith might be kicking some chipmunk as.

Prince Caspian Trailer
December 5th, 2007A trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is now available for your viewing pleasure.
Here.
Here is a synopsis of the movie for those unfamiliar with the books or first film.
One year later, the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1,300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct and Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy. The four children will soon meet a curious new character: Narnia’s rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding, as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly dwarf, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians–led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian–embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz’s tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.
I wasn’t a really big fan of the first one, but this one looks more exciting to me. I might check it out.

The Dark Knight Setup!
December 5th, 2007A new poster for The Dark Knight has been released along with a setup for the movie. Laying out the events between Batman Begins and the start of The Dark Knight. Spoiler Alert!
Imprisoned mob boss Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson) disappeared during the chaos in the Narrows that followed the mass Arkham Asylum escape at the end of “Batman Begins”. Without that central figurehead, the city’s organized crime families have begun a turf war of open assassinations, revenge killings and drive-by shootings with each thinking they’ve the upper hand and none willing to back down.
The fight is now taking place between three key players - the remnants of the Falcone empire led by Sal Maroni (Eric Roberts), a ruthless organization of Russian mercenaries led by a figurehead named ‘The Chechen’ (Ritchie Coster), and a gang of street thugs led by Gambol (Michael Jai White). Several dozen mobsters were killed, with dozens of innocents either hurt or killed in the crossfire on Thanksgiving when negotiations between the groups failed to yield a satisfactory response.
Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is a prosecutor for Acting District Attorney Roger Garcetti’s office and a very ambitious and media savvy one who is using the gang warfare and the issue of police corruption to further his career and is looking likely to challenge Garcetti for the top job of DA.
The press portrays Batman as heroic, saving a family from the turf war and stopping fights where he can. He’s appeared nearly two dozen times, in the process stopping a bank robbery and a post office bombing. DA Garcetti calls him a “dangerous vigilante” and at least one person he saved is suing him for reckless destruction of property.
Politicians are undecided, worried that endorsing Batman will unleash more vigilantes, but happy that his efforts are quelling crime. Mayor Anthony Garcia (Nestor Carbonell) is opposed to him, but the public vote is almost unanimously pro-Batman and so won’t publicly speak out against him.
Bruce Wayne is keeping up his playboy reputation, and Wayne Enterprises is rebuilding the monorail system devastated in the attacks. Wayne himself isn’t particularly enamoring himself to the public, and delays on the repairs to the monorail system is angering residents. Also, Lt. Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) has been promoted to head up the newly formed Major Crimes Unit (MCU), and a coalition of citizen-activist groups is also at large, fed up with the corruption and ineffectiveness of the Gotham City Police Department.
The city itself is suffering from a exodus of residents fleeing in fear, an economic shortfall, and overcrowded mental hospitals due to the fear toxin attack still having some long-lasting effects thanks to remnants of it remaining in the water supply. Also many of the corrupt cops that worked for Falcone have been implicated, but have not yet gone to trial.

Sounds awesome.. oh and here is the poster. I like.
Looks like Serious Business, yeah?

Darth Maul is Snake Eyes!
December 5th, 2007Ray Park has signed to play Snake Eyes in the upcoming GI Joe film. /Film has the scoop!
I have just confirmed that Star Wars Episode 1 star Ray Park has been cast as Snake Eyes in Stephen Sommer’s big screen live-action adaptation of GI Joe.
Snake Eyes is one of the original members of the GI Joe series. Hasbro has released over 30 figures of the character since his debut in 1982. Not much is known about the ninja master’s real identity, as it has remained classified throughout the series. The U.S. Army Sergeant First Class (E-7) is known for his stealth like movements and extensive knowledge of multiple forms of martial arts. Snake-Eyes is romantically involved with fellow G.I. Joe member Master Sergeant Shana M. O’Hara, a.k.a. Scarlett.
Snake Eyes was always my favorite Joe character. Although they’re pretty much going to rape my childhood with this “united nations task force” bullshit GI Joe. Ray Park is an awesome choice for Snake Eyes.
