So this is my first ever proper blog....with my first ever post!
Let's not dilly dally then, movie news I've found out today:
1. I watched the first trailer for J.J. Abrams new project Super 8. For those of you who don't know who J.J. is, he's the genius mind behind such things as Lost, Cloverfield and the latest Star Trek. He manages to build suspense and mystery behind his work until it's release which, for me, is half the appeal. And the trailer for Super 8 is of no exception! Watch it and see what you think for youself:
2. American Pie Presents: The Reboot! Yep, apparently this is happening. There was the original, then two sequels, then FOUR American Pie "presents" movies! They've decided to stop making the terrible straight-to-DVD "presents" movies and focus on a reboot of the whole franchise, which will appear in cinemas. It's rumoured that some of the original cast are interested....which isn't suprising because very few of them are up to anything today! Which begs the question, is this classified a sequel or reboot? They're getting the guys behind the Harold and Kumar movies to direct so I don't know whether to be exited or not! However, as it used to be a teen favourite, I can't help but feel slightly curious!
3. Last piece of news for today - Planet Of The Apes: Caesar! I'm a huge Planet Of The Apes fan, watching them with my Dad years ago so I'm really anticipating more news on this! This one is going to be a prequel as such....based on how Earth came to be the Planet Of The Apes, including the Ape rebellion led by Caesar (the first "intelligent" Ape). For those of you unaware of the original movies, this is based loosely on the last movie of the series, Battle For The Planet Of The Apes. And nothing to do with the Tim Burton remake in 2001, which in my opinion sucked!
So that's all the news for today, stayed tuned for more to come!
