First Good Look at the New Freddy Krueger - Neca Takes Us to Elm Street and Clashes with Titans

24 November 2009 3:42 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

It seems like only yesterday Mezco unveiled its Clash of the Titans and A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) offerings to the denizens of the toy kingdoms. Now Neca take center stage to show off its 7-inch action figures from both lines.

This is the first time we are hearing that Neca has Clash, and we realize it's a little anticlimactic, but it seems toy companies just don't announce things like they used to. Oh well.

This is just the first version of Perseus, so expect at least one more version. Maybe holding the head of Medusa? If we know Neca as well as we think, it's a safe bet.

Meanwhile, we've also got two versions of the Freddy Krueger 7-inch action figure based on his look in the upcoming remake. How and when these figures will be released is unknown right now.

Without further fanfare, here are the goods!

Trailer Park: Of Snakey Hair and Moody Teens

21 November 2009 2:02 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Percy Jackson & the Olylmpians: The Lightning Thief

You go years without seeing Medusa and then all of a sudden we get two in one week. Percy Jackson is a descendant of both mortals and greek gods, and apparently his lineage comes with some way cool powers and some fearsome villains who want to do him in (among which is Uma Thurman as the aforementioned Medusa). Based on a series of books and directed by Chris Columbus, who helmed the first two Harry Potter films, this looks like it could be some good escapist teen fun, though not quite on the same level as Harry Potter. Watch for this on February 12.

Clash of the Titans

As for Medusa number two, she is just one of the monstrosities in this remake of the 1981 film about the adventures of Perseus from Greek mythology. Most of the original film's charm comes from the stop-motion effects by Ray Harryhausen, »

20 November 2009 7:58 AM, PST | HollywoodNorthReport.com | See recent HollywoodNorthReport.com news »

According to Sneak Peek.Ca, actor Sam "Avatar" Worthington will star in The Last Days of American Crime, based on the Radical Publishing comic book series. Premise is set in the future, focusing on government plans to secretly broadcast a signal that makes it impossible for anyone to 'knowingly' commit unlawful acts. Radical's 3-issue mini-series is written by Rick Remender and illustrated by Greg Tocchini. The film will be produced by Radical's Barry Levine and Michael Schwartz. Worthington has recently become the 'genre' actor du jour, starring in Terminator Salvation, Avatar and "Clash Of The Titans.. »

New 'Percy Jackson' Trailer Reveals Uma Thurman's Snake Head

19 November 2009 5:32 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

There is a new trailer out for Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, 20th Century Fox' bid to get in on the financial treasures to be mined from film adaptation of young-adult fantasy novels, and for most people it should serve as the first real glimpse into what kind of an imaginary world Chris Columbus, after having ushered in the first two Harry Potter films, is bringing to life on the big screen. I know little about the series of fantasy-adventure novels by Rick Riordan, so it's nice to now have some clarification beyond the film's early teasers, which were merely announcing the title.

In this feature trailer you'll actually get a cursory look into the life of the titular Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman, who played Christian Bale's eldest son in 3:10 to Yuma), a teen who is unknowingly a descendant of the Greek God Poseidon, as well »

Sam Worthington To Headline American Crime

19 November 2009 3:55 AM, PST | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »

Mr. Worthington is going to be in every movie you see soon it looks like, or at least every movie you want to see. He’s about to get blue in next months “Avatar” and soon will go all “300″ on us in the fantastic looking “Clash of the Titans”. Sources at ComingSoon are reporting that Sam will star in the film adaptation of Radical Publishing and Rick Remender’s “The Last Days Of American Crime”. Here’s the official synopsis from Radical’s point of view: In the not-too-distant future as a final response to terrorism and crime, the U.S. government plans in secret to broadcast a signal making it impossible for anyone to knowingly commit unlawful acts. To keep this from the public, the government creates a distraction, installing a new currency system using digital charge cards. Enter: Graham Brick. A career criminal never quite able to hit the big score, »

Newest Trailer for ‘Percy Jackson and The Olympians’

18 November 2009 2:15 PM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Every year, there tends to be a common theme in most big-budget Hollywood films. Back in 2006, magicians were a big hit, as in both The Illusionist and The Prestige. We haven’t even hit 2010 yet, but it looks like the theme for next year may just be Greek Mythology, between Clash of the Titans and Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief.

Though the name is Way too long, this newest trailer actually makes the film look quite good, and even shows off the who’s who of a cast, from Rosario Dawson to Pierce Brosnon to Uma Thurman. The film is about a regular boy who finds out that he’s actually the son of a Greek God, and must then embark on an adventure which will help him earn his title as demigod.

The film is based on the series of books by Rick Riordan, and even has »

New International Trailer for Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

18 November 2009 1:26 PM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »

Trouble-prone teen Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of school – but that’s the least of his problems. The gods of Mount Olympus and assorted monsters seem to have walked out of the pages of Percy’s Greek mythology texts and into his life – and they’re not happy. Zeus’ lightning bolt has been stolen, and Percy is the prime suspect. Now, Percy and his friends must embark on a cross-country adventure to catch the true thief, save Percy’s family, and unravel a mystery more powerful than the gods themselves.

We haven’t been following this film that much but after watching the trailer it looks like it could be a lot of fun. Sort of a modern day retelling of Clash of the Titans. Percy or Perseus? man I am good at connection. The film is based on a popular series of young adult novels written by Rick Riordan. »

International Trailer for Percy Jackson & The Olypmians: The Lightning Thief

18 November 2009 11:56 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Stateside, we’ve only received a couple teasers for Chris Columbus’ Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lighting Thief but the international trailer for the film just went online and it’s not just a teaser.  It tells you about the characters and provides a sense of the movie’s tone instead of just the premise (regular kid discovers he’s a demigod and his father was the Greek god Poseidon).  Now whether you think a kid using his iPhone to avoid looking directly at Medusa (played by Uma Thurman) makes for a good movie is a different story.  Either way, the Greek gods are getting their due in 2010 with Percy Jackson hitting theaters on February 12th, Clash of the Titans on March 26th, and the highly-anticipated PlayStation 3 game God of War III hitting shelves sometime in March as well.

Hit the jump to check out the Percy Jackson trailer.

International Trailer for Percy Jackson & The Olympians!

18 November 2009 11:25 AM, PST | www.canmag.com | See recent CanMag news »

20th Century Fox has released an international trailer for Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief that rivals the two domestic versions we've seen before it.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief Teaser Trailer

The myth-gods have been getting a lot of attention of recent from Hollywood. Clash of the Titans shows a bunch, as does Percy Jackson. One specific character that's making a comeback is Medusa, who looks to have a defining moment in each of these films. Other than the characters, the new trailer is chock full of special effects and humor. I was hoping for some more time with the gods of the film, but I guess we can wait on that for now. »

Kick-Ass Teaser Trailer with Matthew Vaughn Commentary

17 November 2009 5:38 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Those sneaky French! Last week, Lionsgate debuted the teaser trailer for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass. Because of an accidental early leak, that teaser kind of got lost in the mix with the Clash of the Titans trailer (which was also released the same day). So, in an effort to give this great trailer some time in the spotlight on its own, and also because it's pretty cool to see with commentary, I'm featuring this new version of the same teaser that now includes a bit of commentary from Matthew Vaughn. Premiere in France called up Vaughn and got him to talk about the movie and included it over the top of this trailer. So check it out! Watch the teaser trailer for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass with commentary: Kick-Ass is both written and directed by British filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, of Layer Cake and Stardust previously. The screenplay was co-written by »

Slayer, Megadeth team up for the American Carnage Tour!

16 November 2009 2:04 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Fangoria Musick just got the word that the long-churning rumors are true: Slayer and Megadeth are once again joining forces for an American Tour - their first together since 1991's Clash Of The Titans tour!

Slayer.  Megadeth.  Two names synonymous with fierce, crunching power.  Two bands whose histories are inevitably intertwined in defining the thrash/metal genre.  Individually, their respective prowess and accomplishments are impressive; but together, they're brutal and unstoppable.  Megadeth and Slayer will join forces to co-headline "American Carnage," the most blistering, the most explosive, and the most eagerly-antcipated mega-tour of the winter - and you do not want to miss it.

"American Carnage" will kick off on January 18 in Seattle, Wa for a 26-date trek across North America that will include the six Canadian dates postponed earlier this month.  Tickets for most shows go on sale this Friday, November 20.  Ticketmaster is offering a special presage for most shows from Wednesday, »

This Week in Trailers: 'Kick-Ass,' 'Titans,' Sandler

15 November 2009 5:40 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Two movies due out within three weeks of each other next spring were the highlights of the latest batch of trailers. The good news is that both Clash of the Titans and Kick-Ass look really good, especially Kick-Ass, quickly emerging as one of the must-see movies of 2010. Speaking of which, can you believe it's almost 2010? Can it be a decade since the world narrowly averted the Y2K disasters around the world?

In addition to those two movies, there's a trailer for a new comedy coming out in between them, Date Night with Steve Carell and Tina Fey, a couple 2010 comedies I can't say I'm looking forward to, and some new updates for three Oscar hopefuls. Here they are...your new trailers!

Kick-Ass does exactly that

And nearly just as good: Clash of the Titans

Avatar is now kid tested, mother approved

Another trailer for Up in the Air

Sneak Peek a series of 'low-res' posters supporting the upcoming remake of Clash Of The Titans, directed by Louis "The Incredible Hulk" Letterier, set for release March 26, 2010. Better scans are on the way...

Week in Review - 'Avatar,' MGM, 'Kick-Ass'

13 November 2009 3:40 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Usually, there's one big story that dominates the week's headlines. That's not the case this week, although there's enough variety in the show bidness news that it was still a pretty compelling few days. For example, one report has the budget for James Cameron's Avatar ballooning to about $500 million after all the pennies are counted. The obvious talking point is not whether or not it will make money but how much money it would take to be considered a hit.

Elsewhere, we saw a couple great trailers (Clash of the Titans and Kick-Ass) and we learned that Sony thinks very highly of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, to the point that the studio is promoting early home video rentals for the completely reasonable price of $25. Uh-huh.

Cha-ching: Avatar is really expensive

New 'Ninja Assassin' Clip: No Comics Connection, But Still Awesome

12 November 2009 3:01 PM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Much like yesterday's "Clash of the Titans" trailer, this new "Ninja Assassin" clip has nothing to do with comics—though I'm sure I could find a connection if I really tried. What it does have, however, is a bunch of bad-ass ninja-on-ninja action. Along with Korean pop sensation Rain in a starring role, "Ninja assassin" also features one of the greatest ninja-movie actors of all time: Sho Kosugi ("Enter the Ninja," "Revenge of the Ninja," "Nine Deaths of the Ninja").

"Ninja Assassin" is directed by James McTeigue ("V For Vendetta"—see, there's a comic connection!) and hits theaters November 25. »
