New District 9 Trailer to debut before Bruno!
That's right, a new District 9 trailer is set to debut next week before the comedy 'Bruno' (this after the teaser without subtitles aired before 'Year One'). This will be the second trailer (third if you count the first on with subtitles and the first one without subtitles as different trailers). JoBlo.com got a sneak-peak of the new trailer and I must say, it sounds pretty awesome.
The new trailer is said to be "much more action packed than the original teaser". It gets a little more in-dept...

Wow! A busy day in viral!
Right now we are looking at a couple of updates to the District 9 movie. One of them, is a new video on MNUSpeadsLies that shows the productive system of the non-humans.
The non-humans are asexual. How about that. Does this mean the movie will grow increasingly populated with little non-humans? Aww. Who's the cute little non-baby?
Also, Nick posted a link to a District 9 flash game.
Go to district9game.com and there can you play as either a non-human, o...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is our latest film to have its viral end. How did the viral do? Was it interesting? Worth following? Did it give us any insight into characters and background details?
Official websites:
The Real Effing Deal
Run by Leo Spitz (played by Ramon Rodriguez in the movie), 'TRED' (as it's become known as) was launched to follow the events that happened in Mission City at the end of the first film, as well as the other 'transformer sightings' that have popp...

Last we have the theater standee for Roland Emmerich's 2012. According to Latino Review, this may end up being the ...

Check this out: Viral campaign or real?
A new video on YouTube has millions asking if it's a viral campaign for a movie or just real, and scary. It's a video of an "unknown life-form" in a North Carolina sewer. This could go either way. If you haven't seen it, take a look:
Over 1,000,000 views in less than a day. If it is a viral, it's good, and it reminds me of the original Quarantine viral video which also started out with 1,000,000 views in one day.
It has taken YouTube and Twitter by surprise, people saying things like...

The Soapbox: Remakes And How People React To Them

Recently, Ive noticed a certain amount of bitching stemming from announced remakes, such as 'Flight of the Navigator' and 'Total Recall'. My question for the week is, why do people bitch about remakes? Remakes are both a good and a bad thing. On one hand, remakes allow talented filmmakers to show their vision of the original, and on the other hand, they can be made just to cash in on the original. Most remakes aren't great. I and almost everyone else knows that. But why complain? If you don't li...
Review: The Hurt Locker – War Is A Drug…

This film starts with a bang. It never lets you go from start to finish. That's what great films do. Set in Iraq, this is a story with a message unlike typical Iraq war movies in the past; it's a story about a company of U.S Army EOD Bomb squad. The hell they have to go through is haunting and captivating. The film starts with a quote i dearly love because it fits with the film:
'war is a drug'
It truly is for these soldiers. It's a story of survival and the hunting not being the hunted. ...
