New Amazing Spider-Man Trailer

The new Amazing Spider-Man trailer shows more detail about the suit, the villain and the plot.  It is very well done.

It looks to me like Spidey loses his anonymity in this movie.  Way more fighting and showing off his powers while unmasked than any other Spider-Man movie to date.  I don’t remember the story working that way.

I mean he looks bad-ass and all, but the storyboards were drawn…  fourty years ago.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters Delayed Almost A Full Year.

We laughed on the podcast but I am genuinely sad to hear that instead of March 2012 I will have to wait until January 11th 2013 for Paramount to release this movie. 

Insiders speculate that the move may have been made for two reasons.

Akira Production Halted

Warner Brothers has closed this production down presumably due to financial concerns.

The budget for the film had been reduced several times and came under the gun again when the current $90 million production budget became too hefty….. again. 

Don’t count Akira out though.  This film has already been shelved several times and insiders report that the film is not dead yet.

The same “fiancial pressure” is also being felt by the early production of Arthur and Lancelot being directed by Wedding Crashers Director David Dobkin.

A full report on the close can be found at the Hollywood Reporter.
