Maroon 5's new song!

Thanks to Rollingstone Magazine I have just heard the new single from Maroon 5's new album that's out on June 26th called 'One More Night'.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/song-premiere-maroon-5-one-more-night-20120618

Here's the link above for you to have a listen to...and I definitly think that you should as this I think it's fair to say it is another must listen to song like their last one 'Payphone ft Whiz Khalif'. And I have to be honest this song is already making me want to listen to this again and again so it's safe to say that this song is now going to be in my head...which is good as I am a fan of Maroon 5.

But now that I think of their track 'Payphone' this has now stuck in my head!

Rollingstone has called this track from their 'Overexposed' album as:

"....a reggae-inflected dance floor jam that's sure to inspire sing-alongs..."

I have to agree with this but I think that this will definitly be now on my summer party playlist, and I can really see this tune being played very loudly from all car radios as this (for me anyway) makes me think that I'm at a beach party somewhere like Nikki Beach sipping on some lovely Mojitos....YUM! and this will definitly liven up any party that you have this summer as this coupled with the other exciting news that this July my favourite band 'No Doubt' are coming back with their sixth album 'Push and Shove'...I really can't wait to hear this along with their new single 'Settle Down'.

If you haven't seen it yet...and I can't see why you haven't yet but 'No Doubt' put up their first Webisode talking about this exciting comeback as well as an introduction to 'Push and Shove'.




If you want to pre-order this album before it's out and if your like me and already are addicted to 'Payphone' as well as 'One More Night' then you can head over to Itunes now!

Can it be true Twilight is getting rebooted?!

Here's the confusing part...according to 'Bloody Disgusting' Rob Friedman Summit Entertainment Co-Chairman has said on these rumours of a possible remake of this franchise that:

"We are not remaking Twilight. We will happily support Stephanie Meyer if she decides to proceed in any way. But this will be the last one unless that should change".

But 'Bloody Disgusting' also have mentioned that in some interviews Stephanie Meyers has mentioned that in some interviews she wouldn't mind seeing a reboot.

So it sounds like this could be a possibility for both Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment as this series of films has been for Lionsgate which owns Summit a cash cow...but here is where it gets confusing as Deadline has weighed into these rumours and Summit Entertainment have rung up Deadline and has publicly denied these rumours of a reboot.

So this may or may not happen but I just thought that Lionsgate could be making very loud noises saying No when in actual fact they are thinking about redoing this series...but I just thought how if this is actually happening could Lionsgate redo this as the rule of thumb seems to be that nothing is ever as good as the original (with the exception of Christopher Nolan's 'Batman' as the original Tim Burton films were amazing and Christopher Nolan seems to have made the remake of 'Batman' more amazing than these ones) and any film that I've seen that has a really good first film then goes onto try and make a franchise from the first film it tends to go down the toilet...examples of these are:

  • I hate to say this but 'Blade'-the first one I loved all the story along with the samuri sword fighting but it seemed to go down less and less in intensity and action right down to 'Blade:Trinity'. I have to be honest here but even though I always watch 'Blade:Trinity' whenever it's on TV but all the intensity went in this and was found again I think in the big fight scene at the end of the movie.
  • Resident Evil the other films you can watch them but their not as good as the first.
  • I know this is going to offend some Twilight fans but I watched the first and I thought this was a really good set up to the whole other films in the franchise but then I saw the movie of the second one after I had read the rest of the books and I thought that although the music was still really good in the film I thought that it was lacking something and I do have to say it probably says more about me but once I saw 'Vampire's Suck' I absolutly loved this and became a fan of this...but I'm still going to watch the last breaking dawn part that is going to have a second 10 seconds teaser trailer  available to download on Tuesday 19th June at 5:30 am PDT/ 8:30am EDT, then they'll be a full teaser trailer for your downloading pleasure on Wednesday 20th June 5:30 am PDT/8:30am EDT.
  • Mission Impossible:III- I absolutly loved the first movie it has the classic scene of Tom Cruise being dangled from the ventilation system in the FBI HQ to steal the 'Knock List' and then their was the a amazing scene at the fish restaurant with the red light greenlight chewing gum but this the second one was really good as well and this just lost the plot as it seemed to me that all the intensity was taken out...and then luckily put back in for 'Mission Impossible:Ghost Protocol'. 
I could go on and on and I'm sure there are a few that you can think of but I digress.

Anyhew it may or may not happen but it looks like Lionsgate have thought about this possibly of this happening.

Resident Evil Retribution new trailer out!

Thanks to Empire Magazine today the new Resident Evil:Retribution trailer has premiered on Yahoo!.com feel free to have a butchers at this it is well worth the look:

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/resident-evil-retribution/trailers/resident-evil-retribution-theatrical-trailer-29662855.html

It all looks really good to me and looks like it might be back on a par with the first in the Resident Evil film series directed by Paul WS Anderson....YES! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! This for me had all the action, thriller and scares that you want from this kind of film that's filled with zombies that have been created by the Umbrella Corporation and their creation of the deadly T-virus...I think it's fair to say that the first 'Resident Evil' film and the second one are classic thriller films as they have for me anyway is all the build up to some of the scary bits where you don't expect how scary the scary bits are going to be when they happen like in the first resident evil when Alice and one of the guys from the team that's been sent in to shutdown 'The Hive' as 'The Umbrella Corporation' spins it to look like the computer has gone crazy and that before anything happens 'The Hive' has to be shutdown, that have been locked in the room before they got to the computer to destroy the computer that had shut 'The Hive' down as soon as the T-virus got out of the laboratory so that nothing goes in or out as no one knew of the side effects...but the way it's filmed you can feel that something bad is going to happen when they find out that the computer is guarded by lasers but you (the audience) don't think that it'll end up with the laser going  in a grid formation and slitting him into a million pieces, or in the second film 'Resident Evil: Apocolypse' Alice and two members from 'The Stars' and a journalist get attacked in a church by two mutant animals and they are forced outside and before one of 'The Stars' members gets turned into a zombie there is a underpass on the road their on and Alice says:

"There's something down there"

And you (the audience) know that what's down there isn't going to be good but what you don't expect is this huge monster that's programmed to kill Alice and that it's got two huge automatic machine guns and has one eye stapled shut...nor do you expect the twist at the end that this monster is Matt from the first film that was scratched at the end of the first film.

Sorry if there are still some of you who haven't seen these films...if you haven't seen these yet I urge you to see these films but 'Resident Evil:Redemption' and 'Resident Evil:Afterlife' are good but just not as good as the first two films. 

I do realise that I may have rambled on here a bit here but I'm sorry!

Anyhew...I can't wait for this when it hits UK cinemas on 28th September 2012 and I think that I'm going to be putting this date in my diary or if it doesn't get to go to cinema's heaven forbid like 'Underworld:Awakening' did I will be definitely purchasing this.

OMG! The First 'Bourne Legacy' Theatrical Trailer is out!



I have just seen this and it looks amazing! this I have to say has got me very excited as I am a huge fan of the 'Bourne' films and this looks like it definitely will not disappoint any other 'Jason Bourne' fans or any fans of action films....but as this is only just the first theatrical trailer for 'Jason Bourne' I'm not going to hold my breath that this will be the only one that looks amazing with amazing action sequences in.

It looks like Tony Guilroy has carried on the high octane hand to hand to hand combat action sequences that started in 'The Bourne Identity' with Matt Damon as Jason Bourne and that was carried through all of the 'Bourne' films...which I have to say that was one of the many reasons why I became a fan of these films and when I heard that Matt Damon wasn't going to be in this film I thought that all the best action sequences like the one in 'The Bourne Identity' with Matt Damon fighting off another Treadstone assassin in his Paris apartment with a Biro (this I have to say is one of my best fight scenes from these movies) and and the fast pace of these action sequences which brought all the excitement to the storyline of these films was going to be lost...I  am happy to say that this film 'The Bourne Legacy' doesn't disappoint in this area!

And as you can see from this trailer the filmmakers have carried on the story of Treadstone and Jason Bourne which if you ask me makes it look like the filmmakers have put his picture up to say to film audiences 'Yes we know Matt Damon isn't in the film but we've put a picture of him in the film and we've moved the storyline on a bit so we haven't forgotten him even though he isn't here'. I just thought as I read Matt Damon's GQ interview about how he couldn't be in the movie as he had a million other films that he was involved with at the same time as 'The Bourne Legacy' was starting shooting at, and at some point he would love to go back to the Bourne movies and that this they had to do something different with this movie as they (Tony Guiroy and Matt Damon) had pushed the amnesia story to its limits, that if there was a point where there was a gap in Matt Damon's hectic filming schedule and he wanted to come back to Jason Bourne then with this storyline seeing Jeremy Renner and Oscar Isaacs as two new 'assets' from another Treadstone/Blackbrier FBI secret operation that have the life-or-death stakes heightened by the events of the last three films that it might be a bit difficult to write a storyline that puts him back in to the film and explains where he's been all this time without the story being the same as 'The Bourne Supremecy' where it explained he had been in India all the time with Maria and that he gets set up and she gets killed...the storyline I think has to be different for this to happen, but I also just thought that they've kind of moved forward with this storyline so if he were to come back now I think it would be kind of going back or you'd have to write something that didn't seem like it was going backwards with the story.

Anyhew...I've probably just rambled on in this last bit so I do apologise...but I still can't wait to see this movie when it comes out on 13th August (in the UK for other countries go to IMDb.com for release dates) and I have to say that I love the action sequences on the motorbikes and I do have to say that the action sequence in the trailer where Rachel Weisz gets trapped and shouts 'Aaron!' it looks like it could be set up for quite a comedy line with Jeremy Renner's character shouting before jumping down and saving her 'I'm coming!'.

But then again he is trying to surprise the bad guys so this probably wouldn't be a very good line to say as it would ruin this advantage or it might be seen by the scriptwriters as just a corny line to put in an action movie.

Star Trek 2 going to be shot in IMAX!

According to HitFix 'Star Trek 2' will be shot in using IMAX equipment, JJ Abrams who will be using this for the first time whilst directing a picture and according to him:

"We were so thrilled with the creative results of shooting IMAX for 'Mission Impossible:Ghost Protocol' that we jumped at the chance to use the format for 'Star Trek'....All expectations were exceeded-the action and resolution is insane at this scale. We cannot wait for audiences to see the crew of the Enterprise in a way they never have before."

This sounds like JJ Abrams who has directed the massivly big sci-fi hit 'Super 8' wants to offer something new, fun and exciting that will breath new life into this seqel...I'm glad that the team involved in the sequel for this movie are their thinking of finding new ways to refresh this sequel as I thought that the last 'Star Trek' film had a lot of visual effects and CGI for the big battle at the end of the film but I have to admit that I thought that this was a bit shit, but I do still watch this whenever this comes on the TV or Film4.

Star Trek fans and other cinemagers like me who have been waiting what seems like an age for any infomation on this sequel as last anyone heard was that the release date was having to be pushed back, will be pleased as not only will the film be shot in IMAX but all the cast from the last film Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin and Bruce Greenwood will be coming back for this sequel with some new faces that will be coming into the fold for 'Star Trek 2', these faces being Alice Eve who was in 'Sex and The City 2' as the sexy Irish nanny for Charlotte and Harry who helped Charlotte out when she was strugglinng to look after Lilly as well as Rose when their making cupcakes and she takes them out when she sees Charlotte needing a break from looking after the children, Benedict Cumberbatch (who you may or may not recognise from the fantastically brillant and I do have to say I am a massive fan of not only the series but of all the Sherlock Holmes mysteries including my favourite 'The Hound Of The Baskheville's', this may sound very geeky but I have seen every adaption version of this mystery as I love this Sherlock Holmes mystery so much), Peter Weller who you might recognise as playing the original Robocop.

There's still no word on what the plot for this movie is but it has been confirmed by HitFix's sources that there will be a feature in this sequel from Klingons, but still the rumour that has been floating around for a while now that Benedict Cumberbatch will be playing the Enterprises adversary Khan but this for the moment is still just a rumour that will not die as there have been denials that this will happen...but these denials could just be a rouse from both JJ Abrams and Co., Paramount Pictures or Benedict Cumberbatch's people so that things are kept under wraps and secretive so as to keep the excitment for the film alive.

So this excitement will have to be kept under wraps until it's worldwide release on May 17th 2013.

New 'Twilight Saga:Breaking Dawn Part 2' pics!

I saw these yesterday and these and I have to say they got me a bit excited to see this final installment from the Twilight Saga franchise...also here is a shamless plug from me about how if your a big fan of Kristen Stewart and want to get your hair as volumous and shiny looking as hers then I have the answer, her lovely hairstylist Ken O'Rourk uses on her hair as well as to the worldwide premiere of  'Snow White & The Huntsman' uses SACHAJUAN Professional Haircare products.

http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20483133_20603367,00.html#21172738

In case your wondering these are the some of the first images of Renesmee who will be played by Mackenzie Foy with the other cast of the film as well as the other new cast members who will be popping up in this film that I hope fingers crossed with all the probable added in scenes or taken out scenes that normally happens in films to make the film itself more exciting for audiences to watch and like and possibly go see over and over again that the filmmakers have left in the film that big scene at the end of the book where everyone that Carlisle knows is asked to help fight the Volturi as their tipped off about Renesemee and they get the idea that she's a vampire baby that in the vampire world isn't allowed to live but if you are like me and have read this huge book (the same size as a Harry Potter book) then you'll know that Renesemee drinks and hunts like a vampire but she is a  human and has the unique gift of being able to touch a person and show them everything that has happened and she can either do this or she can tell you but this is her perfered method of talking to a person and then there is a big kind of like a bubble that Bella creates now she's a vampire that protects everyone.

'The Host' first look pics!

Thanks to Entertainmet Weekly that the first image has now come out erof the next Stephanie Meyer book 'The Host'.



 

This is just the first in what I hope will be many other images that are sure to come out in the build up to this...so those of us who read the 'Twilight Saga' books like me as well as going to see the films and are going to not know what to do with themselves when the second part of the last film comes out this will be sure to fill the void.

But if you are like me and want to read this book before you see the film...DON'T! my parents brought me this book as I am a fan of the Twilight films but it's not nothing like the 'Twilight Saga' it's much slower the book is.

Anyhew this sneak peek first image from 'The Host' shows Saoirse Ronan who you might recognise from other movies such as 'The Lovely Bones' or 'Hanna' who is playing the joint leading parts 'Melanie/Wanderer' and Jake Abel who you might recognise from films such as 'Percy Jackson & The Olypians: The Lightning Thief' or 'I Am Four' who will be playing 'Ian O'Shea' who if your like me and have already read the books you already know the story but I'll help fill in the blanks for those of you who haven't gotten around to reading these yet:

'The Host' is set in a world that has been taken over by aliens which use human 'hosts' and have tendrils that latch onto the whole of the spinal chord of the human and they take over the humaqn and live in their own communities with other aliens but their are still a very small amount of humans who try to fight against being taken over by the aliens, and Melanie who is the main character in the book is one of these humans that is on the run with her brother Jamie who will be played by Chandler Canterbury and another human on the run which she comes across whilst on the run Jared who will be played by Max Irons who you might recognise from 'Red Ridinghood' (which he starred alongside Amanda Seyfried) and whilst on the run she gets cornered in Chicago and turned into one of these 'Hosts' but Melanie is still in Wanderer who has already travelled other planets before coming to Earth and Wanderer gets flashback memories of Melanie as well as her being able to hear Melanie i.e when in the book Meanie/Wanderer eventually goes into the desert in Chicago and finds a small community of these humans on the run that include Melanie's brother as well as Jared and Mealanie's uncle Jeb who will be played by Willian Hurt and there is a bit where Wanderer gets a bit worried as she doesn't here Meanie for a period of time and she thinks if she kisses Jared that that will get Meanie mad enough at her that she'll start talking to her again.

The book then sees all the problems that Melanie/Wanderer faces in the caves and how everyone mistrusts her as she is part alien but slowly they start to trust her and she starts to like Ian.

If you want on these same pages on Entertainment Weekly there is also an interview with Jake Abel about what it was like to be behind the scenes with writer/director Andrew Niccol as well as what it was like to collaborate with Stephanie Meyer on this movie:

If you can't wait for this next installment of Stephanie Meyer's book that has been adapted onto the cinema screen then have this date in your diary, March 29th 2013.
