A 24 movie is going into production next year.

But Len Wiseman is the director.

Also what in the name of God is this Nick Fury 90s movie abomination? I thought that movie was canned? surprise

Who is Len Wiseman, should I be scared?

You should be scared if you didn't like Live Free or Die Hard.

Die Hard 4 was awesome. I have no issues with this.

Yes.

(Not really. There's nothing exciting about a trailer.)

He directed Die Hard 4 and now is linked to a 24 movie and he's doing a Total Recall remake. Why is this fuckhead trying to ruin my memories?

Batman trailer, hmmm, I only know Bane as muscle for hire, not as some criminal genius. How is he portrayed in the comics?

I thought he was genius in the comics.  After all, he figured out Batman's identity and found his Batcave.

I've only ever seen him in the animated series where he is some cuban wrestler who was experimented on in jail.

He was pretty smart in the cartoon also.

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO Twitchfilm Review

"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo strings you along for 2 and a half hours dressed in the finest of cinematic and production design frippery, but has the lasting spiritual enrichment of one of Lisbeth's ubiquitous Happy Meals or 30 second Ramen.


I suppose than, that these mega bestselling book-to-film franchises are not going to direct themselves, and we have got two more novels/films to go that demand A-level craftsmen and acting talent. Hopefully, Mr. Fincher has had his fill of shooting classical and modern Swedish architecture and isn't going to spend his time farting around with this material any further. Once was enough, with or without blood."

Awesome stuff.

LOL YT comment:

I KEEP THROWING MONEY AT MY SCREEN BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING!

Only thing that makes me sad is that the extended BluRay version of it will take ages to be released.

THE FLOWERS OF WAR Twitch film Review

Arguably the most eagerly-anticipated Chinese movie of the year, Zhang Yimou's epic retelling of the 1937 Nanking Massacre is not only the country's most expensive movie ever, but boasts Academy Award winner Christian Bale in the lead role. Bale plays John Miller, an American mortician who is summoned to a Cathedral in Nanking to help bury the deceased priest, only to take his place and help defend the young female students, as well as a troupe of prostitutes, from the invading Japanese forces.

In the end I am left conflicted by THE FLOWERS OF WAR. On the one hand it is an impressively staged war drama and a frequently exhilarating experience, from which I honestly feel many viewers can get quite a lot. On the other hand, it is a blinkered, unbalanced and frustrating portrayal of the Japanese that makes no attempt to explain, question or even understand their behaviour. Because of the film's narrow perspective on this particularly troubling chapter of history, it is very difficult to recommend, despite its many strengths. What can be said with some certainty is that THE FLOWERS OF WAR will reach a wider audience than many of China's other recent militaristic dramas, but it is unlikely to win the Chinese Film Industry many more supporters in the long run.

Same story for most Chinese films these days and particularly since they reintegrated Hong Kong.

The Japanese invaded China like the Nazi's invaded Poland so there is bad blood there and a simplistic portrayel of them in films as the baddie.

It's disagreeable and sometimes comical but you have western films that have Nazi's as one tone vindictive or comic characters too.

Not only Nazis, but Russians and Japanese as well.
