– “Tron Legacy” has officially been given a December 17th 2010 release date, the same day that Michel Gondry’s “The Green Hornet” now opens (it was pushed back five months just recently). Watch as geeks will freak out at the box office trying to decide which film to see before attempting to theater-hop their way into both. More importantly though, when is that Daft Punk soundtrack for the film coming out?
– Kevin Smith’s is facing the same old problems with a title change on his upcoming film “A Couple Of Dicks” looking imminent. Adam Brody — who stars in the film — reports that “we were talking about [changing the name]; you can’t really advertise that before 9[pm on TV] if that’s the case, so that really hampers [the studio].” No alternatives were mentioned though he did reveal they were in the process of deciding on a new title.
– Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson working hard on their upcoming “Tintin” films. They actually wear those bowler hats on the job?!
– Rapper Ghostface Killah revealed that he was paid 30k for a cameo as a Dubai businessman in the first “Iron Man.” His appearance never made the cut though. Gotta love the gangster honesty.
– Here is a trailer for the Woody Harrelson led lo-fi superhero flick “Defendor.” Kat Dennings also co-stars in the story about a guy who thinks he’s a superhero. Funny? Amusing? If you say so…
Uh, as a hard-core geek/dork/nerd (Wednesdays arfe my 'sabbath' since it is new comic day) there will be no competition: TRON will crush the Green Hornet.
What is this the 60's? There is 0 interest in the Green Hornet. TRON? EVERYONE is waiting for this and it can't come soon enough. Just wait until the Panel at the next ComicCon (which I will be at).
Seriously: 0 interest in the Green Hornet.
Much more interested in Hornet than Tron, though of course it all depends on the movies.
Based on the trailer Defendor reminds me *a lot* of Special, the Micheal Rappaport indy, which was funny, sad, touching, uplifting, and well worth seeing despite its obscurity.
There is a "A Clockwork Orange" vibe to the pic of Spielberg and Peter Jackson
Disney and all their marketing might and genius are somehow going to make Tron seem cool to generation Y (and Z?), and it will crush The Green Hornet. Which is a shame, because I'd like to see Michel Gondry do well, but there's no interest in that property and it seems like a bad idea to revive it in the first place.
