10 New Images from TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON
by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Posted: February 6th, 2011
With Paramount releasing an awesome Super Bowl ad for Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon, I’ve screengrabed my favorite ten images from the commercial and they’re after the jump.
What I love about the new ad is that it shows what Chicago would look like if an alien race invaded. Say what you will about Bay, there is no other director I’d want handling this movie. And yes…the image above is Optimus Prime about to slice someone open with his sword. Included in the ten images are Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Tyrese Gibson. TF3 gets released July 1, 2011.
J.J. Abrams Talks SUPER 8
by Matt Goldberg Posted: February 6th, 2011
Tonight, Paramount aired a new TV spot for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming film Super 8 (click here to go watch it). The notoriously secretive Abrams spoke to Hero Complex about the film because everyone knows that secrecy only matters if a film is six or more months away. All that’s really been known about the film up to this point is that it will have a 80s Amblin Entertainment vibe that executive producer Steven Spielberg is bringing to the project. It also takes place in a small fictional town of Lillian Heights, Ohio in 1979, involves a train crash, something trying to escape from the wreckage, and a Super 8mm camera. Now Abrams has decided to reveal a bit more about the film.
Hit the jump for what he had to say about his highly-guarded project [minor spoilers ahead]. Super 8 is due out June 10th.

by Matt Goldberg Posted: February 6th, 2011
On May 30, 2010, we reported that director Guillermo del Toro was leaving The Hobbit because there was no start date in site. On March 21st, 2011—295 days later—filming on The Hobbit is set to begin with Peter Jackson now at the helm. The financial mess that kept the film from going in front of cameras has been abated and the movie has a full cast lined up and ready to shoot what will be a two-part film in 3D. Part 1 of The Hobbit is set for December 2012 and Part 2 is slated for December 2013. The One Ring reports that “[March 21st] has been chosen following practical considerations of the filming schedule requirements, actor availability and the NZ seasons. Shooting will take place at Stone Street Studios in Miramar and on location around New Zealand.
Hit the jump for a synopsis of J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel. The Hobbit stars Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Ken Stott, Graham McTavish, James Nesbitt, Aidan Turner, Jed Brophy, Cate Blanchett, Andy Serkis, Mikael Persbrant, Sylvester McCoy, and Elijah Wood.
