'Adventures of Tintin' gets a new trailer

Steven Spielberg's upcoming 3D motion-capture adventure "The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn" will land in theaters Dec. 23, 2011, and here is a new international trailer for you to enjoy. It looks pretty intriguing, so check it out after the jump.

"Tintin" is not the most popular character in the U.S., but considering many big Hollywood films bag more money overseas these days, the movie will most certainly collect a lot of moola. Either way, as a fan of "Tintin," I am stoked about this release.

Steven Moffat and Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish penned the script, and the cast includes Jamie Bell (Tintin), Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Daniel Craig, Andy Serkis (Haddock) and Cary Elwes.

Spike Lee to direct 'Old Boy' remake

It's been a while since we last heard anything about the "Old Boy" remake Steven Spielberg and Will Smith were supposed to be involved with, but word is the project is back on track with Spike Lee possibly in talks to direct the film. Pretty cool, huh?

Twitch says Lee is indeed considering the Hollywood version of the fantastic Park Chan-Wook movie, about a man who after being imprisoned for years, hunts down those responsible for locking him up in the first place. Mark Protosevich is writing the script.

No word yet on whether Will Smith will be involved with the remake. Although I would have loved to see Spielberg taking the lead on this one, I admit Spike Lee would indeed a very intriguing choice. Lee recently helmed "Miracle at St. Anna."

New image from 'Tintin' hits the web

A brand new still from Steven Spielberg's upcoming motion-capture animated adventure "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn" has found its way to the Web via Animatie, and you can check it out just above. The film drops Dec. 23, 2011.

Steven Moffat and Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish penned the script, and the cast includes Jamie Bell (Tintin), Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Daniel Craig, Andy Serkis (Haddock) and Cary Elwes. The film is based on the characters created by Hergé.

In the first film of what will hopefully develop into a franchise, Tintin and his friends discover directions to a sunken ship commanded by Capt. Haddock's ancestor and go off on a treasure hunt. As an old fan of the "Tintin" series, I admit I'm stoked!

Is 'Jurassic Park 4' finally shaping up?

Anybody out there still believing in the "Jurassic Park" franchise? It's been a while since we last heard anything about a fourth film, but according to Heat Vision, Steven Spielberg is still keen on bringing his dinosaurs back to the big screen.

Heat Vision reports Spielberg has been having some brainstorming sessions with screenwriter Mark Protosevich, and both men apparently have been throwing around ideas that could make it into a fourth film. Nothing concrete at this point though...

It sure has been a while since "Jurassic Park III," and as a fan of the series, I can only hope Spielberg will bring it back full force. If it doesn't so soon, people will start to forget and care. Protosevich, by the way, wrote "The Cell" and "Poseidon."

Shia LaBeouf says 'Indiana Jones 5' isn't far off

"Transformers" star and Spielberg darling Shia Labeouf recently gave word that the next installment of the "Indiana Jones" franchise might be closer than you think. This is surprising to hear him say this after he recently stated that the previous film, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," was an unworthy entry in the series.  

In an interview with MTV, LeBeouf explained that he had recently spoken with co-star Harrison Ford and that, "He said he's staying in the gym, he said he's heard no word, but he does know that [George Lucas] is out there looking for a MacGuffin. He said he's staying in the gym, so it means [the movie is] not so far off."

Let's just hope Lucas finds a story that LeBeouf will find worthy of being included in the Indiana Jones pantheon. 

Another great clip from J.J. Abrams' 'Super 8'

A few weeks ago, we got a good sneak peek at that train accident scene from J.J. Abrams' anticipated sci-fi adventure "Super 8," and now, we're in for a new clip that includes more of that specific moment. Check it out right after the jump.

Now, I have not seen a single Abrams flick with a badly executed scene, and I don't think "Super 8" will be an exception. This just looks stunning. The cast includes Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Joel Courtney, Gabriel Basso, and Noah Emmerich.

The story follows a group of friends in the summer of 1979, as they begin noticing strange happenings going around in their small town, and begin to investigate into the creepy phenomenon. "Super 8" starts June 10, 2011. Yay!

As you can see clearly, this is a only a teaser, which is why I understand many folks out there seem to be a bit underwhelmed. That said, I strongly believe Spielberg has everything it takes to turn this into a memorable ride, and I can't wait to see more of this thing.

Steven Spielberg to next direct 'Robopocalypse'

Steven Spielberg, the one man who can direct like three films at the same time, has just picked his next major project: the big-screen adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson's upcoming sci-fi novel "Robopocalypse."

Deadline says Drew Goddard ("Cloverfield," "The Cabin in the Woods") has already written the script, which Spielberg will direct in 2012. Touchstone Pictures will prep the film for a release 2013.

Wilson's anticipated novel follows the human race's attempt to survive an apocalypse triggered by robots. Sounds a bit familiar, but what the hell... Spielberg knows how to pick solid projects, so I trust him.
