Paramount Tweets Motion Poster for Sonic Movie – Deviantart Faints


Considering the long history of a noodle-armed Sonic, something may strike you as “off” about this poster. Look at those arms! What the actual fuck is going on here?

Of course, Twitter had to weigh in.

Some people made some recommendations for fixes:

We’ll hold off judgement until the movie comes ou– Who am I kidding. LOOK AT IT! IMAGINE IT OUTSIDE OF SILHOUETTE. THERE’S NO WAY THIS WON’T BE NIGHTMARE FUEL!

Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Trailer Highlights Bebop and Rocksteady

Well, this is interesting.

I don’t know anyone who thought the movie turtles were true to source, but their versions of Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (Stephen “Sheamus” Farrelly) are a ninja cut above Rahzar and Tokka. And Laura Linney in a role as somebody serious? Are we actually looking at the Turtles as something worth dealing with decently?

Lord, I hope so. But you decide. “Out of the Shadows” is the sequel name, and it ain’t quite “skipping stones” – but it’ll do.

Whoa…LAIKA’s New Stop-Motion Flick Is a Samurai Movie, and the Teaser Is Amazing


KUBO_Teaser

I think I have a new most-anticipated movie of 2016. How they did that ocean in stop-motion, I know not. They could have just shown us that and I’d be good, but then the rest…mind blown.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Kubo and the Two Strings is an epic action-adventure set in a fantastical Japan from acclaimed animation studio LAIKA.  Clever, kindhearted Kubo (voiced by Art Parkinson of Game of Thrones) ekes out a humble living, telling stories to the people of his seaside town including Hosato (George Takei), Hashi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) and Kamekichi (Academy Award nominee Brenda Vaccaro).  But his relatively quiet existence is shattered when he accidentally summons a spirit from his past which storms down from the heavens to enforce an age-old vendetta. Now on the run, Kubo joins forces with Monkey (Academy Award winner Charlize Theron) and Beetle (Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey), and sets out on a thrilling quest to save his family and solve the mystery of his fallen father, the greatest samurai warrior the world has ever known.  With the help of his shamisen – a magical musical instrument – Kubo must battle gods and monsters, including the vengeful Moon King (Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes) and the evil twin Sisters (Academy Award nominee Rooney Mara)  to unlock the secret of his legacy, reunite his family and fulfill his heroic destiny.

Never mind all that. Just watch the pretty pictures and wonderful toys with their swords and stuff.

With Coraline, ParaNorman and The Boxtrolls, LAIKA still has a perfect record. I don’t see that changing here. One day they will have their Cars 2, but may that day not show its dirty face for a while.

A Ring vs. Grudge Movie Has Begun Shooting in Japan

In my high school, it was always a truism that girl on girl fights were meaner and more vicious than guy on guy – so I fully expect the upcoming Sadako vs. Kayako to leave Freddy vs. Jason in the dust. On the other hand, neither evil spirit relies on hand-to-hand abilities, so who knows where they’ll go once they realize they can’t use curses and death-stares on a foe who’s already dead and cursed.

It’s funny – I remember Takashi Shimizu at Comic-Con years ago talking about spin-off possibilities, and he  thought Toshio (or as he put it, “Little White Boy”) would be the spin-off character to fight others. Somebody clearly realized that pissed-off moms are scarier than kids who meow.

Are you ready for a Grudge match…in this very Ring?
