Seriously i can only remember a few scenes from TeenWolf although i think, i remember that i quite enjoyed it at the time]]> http://www.movies-illustrated.com/teenwolf-remake-on-its-way-new-version-set-to-bare-its-teeth/feed/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/2012-movie-trailer-surfaces-roland-emmerichs-latest-apocalypse-movie/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/2012-movie-trailer-surfaces-roland-emmerichs-latest-apocalypse-movie/#comments Sat, 20 Jun 2009 14:21:31 +0000 Dalton http://www.movies-illustrated.com/?p=488 2012 is the latest disaster, end of the world movie from director Roland Emmerich, featuring as usual an ensemble cast, this time lead by John Cusack and Amanda Peet, and supported by Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover and Woody Harrelson. 2012 is due to be released into the wild in November this year, and from the trailer it looks like it's going to be a full on roller coaster of a movie]]> http://www.movies-illustrated.com/2012-movie-trailer-surfaces-roland-emmerichs-latest-apocalypse-movie/feed/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/pixelated-movie-quiz-game-3/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/pixelated-movie-quiz-game-3/#comments Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:00:46 +0000 Dalton http://www.movies-illustrated.com/?p=478 Pixelated the movie game poster quiz is pretty to play, the rules of the quiz are simple we show you a movie poster and you have to guess which movie the poster is from.

Lots of rumours have been buzzing about regarding the Predators project with Neil Marshall, of The Descent and Dog Soldiers fame being lined up to direct.

Surveillance is the second movie by Jennifer Lynch, you probably recognize the name because she is the daughter of film director David Lynch, and from the trailer of Surveillance it looks as though film making is in the blood]]> http://www.movies-illustrated.com/surveillance-movie-trailer/feed/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/pixelated-movie-quiz-game-1/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/pixelated-movie-quiz-game-1/#comments Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:21:32 +0000 Dalton http://www.movies-illustrated.com/?p=464 This is the first in our new movie quiz feature - Pixelate!

Definitely a movie for the online first person shooter playing fans, gamer has fairly unoriginal plot line that seemingly looks to be borrowing quite a lot of its plot from Death Race 2000 where the combatants in the game are actually death row prison inmates who though playing the game have a chance to have their sentences overturned ]]> http://www.movies-illustrated.com/gamer-trailer-now-released-watch-here/feed/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/bubblegum-crisis-making-the-live-action-crossover-what-do-you-think/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/bubblegum-crisis-making-the-live-action-crossover-what-do-you-think/#comments Wed, 27 May 2009 21:06:33 +0000 Dalton http://www.movies-illustrated.com/?p=432 Bubblegum Crisis is the latest Japanese anime to be getting the big screen live action makeover, this time though its not quite as straight forward as you may think. While Bubblegum Crisis became a cult hit after it's 1987 straight to video release it appears that the weight is being spread with the investment on this adaptation]]> http://www.movies-illustrated.com/bubblegum-crisis-making-the-live-action-crossover-what-do-you-think/feed/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/joss-whedon-does-movie-horror-%e2%80%93-the-cabin-in-the-woods/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/joss-whedon-does-movie-horror-%e2%80%93-the-cabin-in-the-woods/#comments Tue, 26 May 2009 17:39:14 +0000 Dalton http://www.movies-illustrated.com/?p=430 Joss Whedon’s upcoming 2010 horror shocker, The Cabin in the Woods has so far been successfully shrouded by mystery with no definitive plot lines or cast lists being released.

This re-invention of the Sherlock Holmes saga is depicted as a new portrayal of the eccentric character with Downey reported to be playing Holmes with more emphasis on this physical abilities and bohemian nature as oppose to the thinker we have previously seen in earlier adaptations]]> http://www.movies-illustrated.com/sherlock-holmes-trailer-guy-ritchie-style/feed/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/zoolander-sequel-highly-possible-stiller-mentions-zoolander-2-on-talk-show/ http://www.movies-illustrated.com/zoolander-sequel-highly-possible-stiller-mentions-zoolander-2-on-talk-show/#comments Mon, 18 May 2009 18:57:30 +0000 Dalton http://www.movies-illustrated.com/?p=424 Its official Ben Stiller mentioned he was finding the right script for the follow up to the very funny and one of my fave Ben Stiller movies, the pretty amazing and very silly Zoolander!

Firstly the TV series of Bebop was damn near perfect with some great stories, seriously cool music, lots of action and a sprinkling of comedy all rolled into one. Next came the Cowboy Bebop anime movie, still very cool with an updated budget and slightly classier looking than the original TV series but not quite as interesting a story as the best we saw in the series]]> http://www.movies-illustrated.com/cowboy-bebop-live-action-casting-discussion/feed/
