Epic Official Tron Legacy Trailer Drops, Plus My Detailed Breakdown of the Film So Far
Posted by: | Comments
It’s been several days since this was unveiled to the world, but I needed some time to gather my thoughts. If you saw Alice in Wonderland this past weekend, you got to see the breathtaking new trailer for Disney’s other upcoming 3-D baby, Tron Legacy. The first footage we saw of Tron Legacy was way back this past summer when Disney premiered those three minutes of footage at Comic-Con. That clip didn’t show much, but was just supposed to get people talking, which it did. But man, this new trailer has got people SCREAMING for December to hurry the hell up already.

Where in the hell did this from? After getting no love from The Golden Globes or the SAG Awards, The Hurt Locker came out of left field to win six Academy Awards including Best Director (Kathryn Bigelow) and Best Picture. I thought it was a solid film, but NO WAY did it deserve Best Picture. Avatar and Inglourious Basterds were the only worthy nominees for the biggest award of the night in my opinion. I guess the Academy is still too conservative and/or short-sighted to give props to any film that wins big at the box-office.

Browsing the internet a few weeks back I stumbled upon some very interesting Star Wars news. The first bit of reading involved George Lucas’s comments following his screening of Avatar. Lucas was impressed with the magnitude of what James Cameron was able to accomplish with the project and the integration of the third dimension (via Access Hollywood):

We’ve been looking for years and years and years of trying to take ‘Star Wars’ and put it in 3-D. But, [the] technology hasn’t been there. We’ve been struggling with it, but I think this will be a new impetus to make that happen.

We have known that Tom Cruise would be getting his hands dirty in a fourth Mission: Impossible film for some time now. Before any plot or characters were announced for the movie the 47 year-old actor was initially signed on to an executive producer role along with J.J. Abrams. Now Cruise will reprise his role as Ethan Hunt in the fourth installment. But Abrams, director of Mission: Impossible 3, will not be back in the director’s chair.

I am sure many of you could not have missed the Megan Fox Super Bowl commercial that featured the bombshell actress in the bathtub. Aside from Megan wearing nothing but bubbles the commercial actually made me laugh quite a bit. It was definitely one of my favorite Super Bowl ads in what I would consider a pretty weak picking as far as awesome new commercials go. My second favorite would have to be the little black boy protecting his cheesy snacks with authority (Keep your hands of my momma, keep your hands off my Doritos).

Ask anybody who has seen Band of Brothers and they will tell you the HBO mini-series is one of the greatest World War II stories ever told. The story is a true tale based on the brave paratroopers of Easy Company, some of the best soldiers the United States had to offer in WWII. The company dropped in behind enemy lines the night before D-Day with the mission to destroy Nazi fortifications and more specifically the artillery guns aimed at the Normandy beaches.

As many Harry Potter fans know, the last installment in the J.K. Rowling series will be split into two separate films. This news elated every Potter fan across the globe with the plan to have the final book of the series get twice the screen time of any Potter book yet. The seventh book is the best in the entire series (in my humble opinion). This news stirred up vivid images of seeing the Deathly Hallows narrative coming to life on the big screen. With the book being made into two films, speculation on the split has been circling since the initial announcement. Reports have now come where the two movies will most likely be split.

I know what you’re thinking and no, the picture above is not a joke. The Jackass boys have another disgusting and bone-crunching movie in the works for their third installment of the…God am I actually saying this?…Jackass franchise. And not only has Johnny Knoxville confirmed that he, Steve-O, Chris Pontius and the rest of the gang are hard at work on Jackass 3, but just yesterday he reported that Jackass 3 is going to be in…you guessed it, 3-D.
