The Harry Potter Movies Are Over, But the Magic is Still Alive at Leavesden Studios
Posted by: | Comments
While many Potter fans are sad the long running movie series has come to an end, they will be encouraged to know they can still experience the movie magic. But this experience is much different, more behind the scenes. It also involves a trip to the Warner Bros. Leavesden Studios in London. So if you can pony up the cash, you can still squeeze some magic out of the Harry Potter universe.

MUST MASH: Absolutely Bonkers First Trailer for Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch
Posted by: | Comments
Ho-ly s**t! This looks completely, totally and utterly insane. During the Warner Bros. panel at Comic-Con over the weekend, Zack Snyder premiered the trailer for his original action/sci-fi/fantasy/crime/…I don’t even know, film, called Sucker Punch. Thank God for plot descriptions, because after seeing this trailer, I would not know how to describe this film, other than it looks disgustingly awesome.
FINALLY! So after weeks, nay, months of nothing-zip-NADA, the online viral marketing for Christopher Nolan’s Inception is finally picking up speed. A couple weeks ago, Nolan screened a few minutes of exclusive footage to cinema exhibitors at ShoWest in Las Vegas. This past weekend on Saturday, he made a surprise appearance at WonderCon in San Fransisco (basically Diet Comic-Con), and screened the same footage at ShoWest. But this time, Warner Bros. left the fans and journalists in attendance with some nifty-gifties that directly link to the new viral campaign.
There appears to be no good, original ideas left in Hollywood, forcing studios to remake/reb00t/reinvent/reincarnate and use every other “re” prefix in the English language when announcing “new” projects. This news certainly continues the recent tradition of making movie fans everywhere roll their eyes. Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures announced today in a press release (via The Hollywood Reporter) that they are bringing back that big Ol’ lovable, terrorizing, giant lizard in the form of a new Godzilla movie.
WB “Reportedly” Announcing ‘Batman 3′/Christopher Nolan Plans in January

THE MOVIE MASH IS BACK!!! Thousands of apologizes to all The Movie Mashers. I just started a new job and have been working a lot. Plus this idiot acquaintance of mine, stepped on my laptop, ruining the screen, thus my Photoshop/home computer access has been extremely limited. But I’ve worked out some writing time slots with my roommates that will hopefully allow me to provide you with the best movie analysis on the web at least once a day. So let’s get to it. The “will he?/won’t he?” back-and-forth banter regarding whether or not Christopher Nolan will return to the Batman franchise one last time with a follow-up to The Dark Knight has been going on since TDK first left theaters. The hopeful film-to-be would of course cap off his already legendary superhero trilogy that has forever cemented itself atop the threshold of American cinema. It has been well documented on The Movie Mash for months. Well, now we have “word” that Warner Bros. will wipe the drool away from fanboys everywhere with an announcement on the future of the Batman franchise and Nolan’s involvement in it.
We Finally Have Our Green Lantern, It’s Ryan Reynolds (Disappointing Sigh)

The Movie Mash has been discussing the ongoing Green Lantern actor search for a while now. After the Earth-shattering success of The Dark Knight, Warner Bros. decided to make a long-term commitment in developing the hundreds of superhero characters at their disposal into potentially successful movie franchises. The next hopeful money-maker for WB is the first mega-adaptation of the hugely popular Green Lantern comic series, which has been around for over half a century. Warner picked Bond director Martin Campbell (Golden Eye, Casino Royale) to bring GL to life in his first big Sci-Fi action spectacle.
Warner Bros. to Mash Americanized “Death Note”
Posted by: | Comments
Recently Warner Bros. procured the rights to the very successful anime and Manga series Death Note. In Japan alone, Death Note has spawned a 108 chapter Manga series, a novel, a lengthy anime series, and two live-action movies (picture left). To call this series successful is a bit of an understatement. What makes Death Note so engrossing is its central theme which tries to have the audience answer: “Is it right for someone to have the power over life and death?”
For anyone that doesn’t know, Death Note centers around a teenager named Light. One day he stumbles upon a notebook, the Death Note, which he finds has the power to kill anyone whose name is written inside of it, as long as Light has seen their face. With this power Light tries to create a world that is free of crime and cleansed of all “evil.” Along with the Death Note, Light is suddenly accompanied by the Death God Ryuk who was the original owner of the Death Note. Ryuk acts like any devil would and pressures Light into killing more people than his conscience will allow. The tension escalates when an investigation is mounted against the murders which slowly gets traced back to Light. For the rest of the story you are going to have to check out the anime series or the live-action movie being released by WB.
For me this is great news. Death Note is one of the best animes that I have seen and it would be great to see what WB could do with the license. The screenwriters for the American adaptation are Charley and Vlas Parlapanides, who say that they are going to use the Manga as the source material and not the previous Japanese live-action films. Now all I can do is wait and hope.
