Check Out Five New Previews for NBC’s ‘Chase’

Posted on September 14, 2010

This time around we’ve got previews for another new NBC show called Chase. In this one from executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer Kelli Giddish stars as U.S. Marshall Annie Frost who chases the bad guys and kicks ass all while wearing some great cowboy boots.

To get you excited for this new show we’ve got lots of previews and more videos to share with you today. Some of these include the full length trailer, interviews with Jerry Bruckheimer, stars Giddish and Cole Hauser, a look at some of the show’s action and a lot more.

Before you move on to the videos, here’s a bit more about the show’s story and characters from our friends at NBC:

Kelli Giddish stars as U.S. Marshal Annie Frost, a cowboy boot-wearing deputy whose sharp mind and unique Texas upbringing help her track down violent criminals on the run. Starring as the members of Frost’s elite team are Cole Hauser as Jimmy Godfrey, an East Texas kid who never grew up and is a true American cowboy; Amaury Nolasco who plays Marco Martinez, a good intelligence guy who loves to talk; and Rose Rollins, who portrays Daisy Ogbaa, a weapons/tactical specialist and a woman of few words.

Rounding out the cast is Jesse Metcalfe, who stars as Luke Watson, the fresh-faced newcomer whose Washington, D.C. upbringing did little to prepare him for the Lone Star State.

Chase premieres next Monday, September 20 at 10/9C on NBC. Check out all the previews after the jump.

‘Monsters’ Director Lands New Gig with Timur Bekmambetov

Posted on September 14, 2010

I’ve been a fan of both director Gareth Edwards and his debut film Monsters since seeing it and interviewing him at SXSW earlier this year. The film is terrific and Edwards is definitely a talented writer/director whose star is on the rise.

Obviously, others agree with my assessment as Edwards has recently made a deal for his next project. He will team with Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov on a science fiction film that Edwards is writing and will direct. Bekmambetov will produce the film along with Jim Lemley.

The project is described as “an epic human story, set in a futuristic world without humanity.” Edwards will finish the script and then he and Bekmambetov will reportedly take it out to studios for financing.

With Edwards able to make so much out of Monsters with so little money to work with it will be very interesting to see what he will be able to do with a larger budget. Teaming with Bekmambetov seems like a great idea and I, for one, can’t wait to see what this partnership yields.

Get Your First Look at Disney’s ‘Tron: Betrayal!’ Graphic Novel

Posted on September 14, 2010

With Disney’s acquisition of Marvel it was likely we would see comics coming from the publisher that are traditional Disney titles or movie tie-ins. An example of this is the upcoming prequel graphic novel for Disney’s Tron: Legacy film called Tron: Betrayal!

Here’s all the scoop on this graphic novel from our friends at Marvel:

Tron: Betrayal! bridges the story between the first Tron film from 1982 and the the new film and tells the story of Kevin Flynn, who is now in charge of the world’s largest video game company, Encom. The break-through game developer has built the Grid, a digital world filled with living programs except now the new virtual world is about to develop a life of its own and, in order to control it, Flynn’s going to need the help of an old friend: Tron.

Showcasing a key time of the mythology of the Tron world, TRON: Betrayal #1 will show the early days of the Grid, and the first appearances of the heroes and villains that will be seen in TRON: Legacy.

Sounds interesting. If it’s half as good as IDW’s prequel comic from J.J. Abrams recent Star Trek film, it might just be worth a read.

Check out the previews for this graphic novel after the jump. Tron: Betrayal! hits store shelves on October 6th.

Interview: Artist James Silvani Talks Drawing ‘Darkwing Duck’ & ‘The Muppets’

Posted on September 14, 2010

Originally a cartoon, Darkwing Duck ran from 1991 to 1995 and again from 1996 to 1997. A darker, cooler version of the Duck Tales universe, Darkwing gave Disney its very own super hero character who wasn’t a total boy scout like Gizmo Duck.

Recently, Boom launched the Darkwing Duck miniseries which was quickly indefinitely extended to an ongoing series. Take a peek below at our interview with James Silvani, the current artist on the book, as he discusses with us his work on the project, the character, and the tremendous fan support the title has received.

The Flickcast: Recently Boom has been having a lot of success with their licensed products, especially with the Disney series. How did you get approached about working on the Darkwing Duck series?

James Silvani: Actually, I started off doing The Muppets and was working on a few Muppet ideas and the editors had asked, “Hey do you mind throwing in a Darkwing Duck cover? It’s something of a pet project of ours”. Once we had the approval, we went ahead with it and it became a nice little fluke.

Jovovich Says Another ‘Resident Evil’ Sequel Already In The Works

Posted on September 14, 2010

With Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D topping the box office this weekend, it should come as no surprise that the next installment is already in the works. As the only major release of the weekend, Resident Evil topped the box office with $27.7M, which was enough reason to spawn a fifth sequel.

According to Milla Jovovich, the film’s star and wife of director Paul W.S. Anderson, this was the most successful film in the franchise.  In an interview with New York Magazine she said,”This new Resident Evil is the first one to ever open at No. 1 worldwide. It’s the biggest movie in the franchise.”

Unfortunately this statistic is true but not exactly accurate. With the additional charge for 3D viewings of the film, the film has made more in dollars and did take the number one spot at the box office, but it was the worst of the franchise in terms of attendance. From Box Office Mojo.

In terms of estimated attendance, Afterlife likely ranked last and slightly behind the first movie: Afterlife only seemed more popular due to general ticket price inflation and the movie’s premium for the 3D illusion. 2,062 venues showed the picture in regular 3D, while it ran in IMAX 3D at another 141 venues.

Posted on September 14, 2010

They call it “The Fate of Two Worlds” but Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has more to it than just two iconic companies collaborating. It also holds with it the fate of the world of fighting games. Today, Capcom has released the second official trailer for the game. Though it doesn’t do much to explain any of the story for the title yet, it does help give some perspective into the alliances being forged within the context of the title.

Most importantly, the new trailer reveals a new character to the roster. Now up to 19 playable characters revealed, Tron Bonne from the Mega Man series and pervious Marvel vs. Capcom titles makes her return. Still in her big green robotic suit, in the trailer below you see Tron trying to go toe to toe with the likes of Doctor Doom.

War Movie Mondays: ‘Patton’

Posted on September 13, 2010

This week’s pick is Patton (1970) which is a bio pic of famed World War II American General George S. Patton. George C. Scott stars as the man who was feared by his enemies, as well as his allies. Patton is noted for many things such as its music score by famed composer Jerry Goldsmith, top notch direction from Franklin J. Schaffner Planet of the Apes (1968), but is most noted for its amazing screenplay from a young USC film graduate named Francis Ford Coppola and Edmund H. North. The screenplay was based on two sources which were Ordeal and Triumph by Ladislas Farago and General Omar N. Bradley’s memoir A Soldier’s Story.

The film’s opening sequence is one of the most iconic and emulated images of all time. Patton emerges from a series of stairs in front of a huge American flag where he begins to give a pep talk to his men who double as the audience.

The speech was actually several speeches that were compiled by Coppola for the opening scene. The opening sequence gives insight into the kind of a General Patton was and how he inspired his troops to follow him into battle.
