Movie News: AVATAR 2 & 3!

This will be very exciting news for some people and the worst news ever for others, but James Cameron has confirmed that his next two projects will be Avatar sequels.  Yes, you read that correctly, not one, but two sequels to the the most successful film of all time.  No real surprise, as the original took over $2.7 billion at the worldwide box office, but can we take anymore?

Here's what Cameron had to say;

"Our goal is to meet and exceed the global audience's expectations for the richness of AVATAR’s visual world and the power of the storytelling. In the second and third films, which will be self contained stories that also fulfill a greater story arc, we will not back off the throttle of AVATAR’s visual and emotional horsepower, and will continue to explore its themes and characters, which touched the hearts of audiences in all cultures around the world. I'm looking forward to returning to Pandora, a world where our imaginations can run wild."

Movie News: BATMAN 3 GETS A TITLE!

After much speculation, Christopher Nolan has finally revealed that the title for the next Batman movie will be THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.  Not the most original title, but let's face it, after the massive success of The Dark Knight it's understandable that they'd want to build on an already established brand.

During his interview with the LA Times, he also went on to reveal that the main villain will not be the Riddler, so expect a load of rumours about exactly which character they are going to select over the coming months!

Which character do you think should be the villain in the new film?

UK Top Ten: 22-24th OCTOBER 2010

Two new releases last weekend, Paranormal Activity 2 and the Bruce Willis action film RED.  Both films made a whole load of money, but it was Paranormal Activity 2 that easily took the number one spot with a huge £3.7m. 

Clearly, everyone's getting into the Halloween spirit and enjoying being scared out of their seats.  So, next week is the perfect time for a battle of the horror flicks, as Saw 3D is released nationwide.  Will it be able to knock PA2 off the number one spot or will it continue to dominate the UK box office?

Film	Weekend Gross	Total Gross Since Release
Paranormal Activity 2	£3,764,722	£3,764,722
Despicable Me	£2,589,170	£7,585,348
RED	£1,662,472	£1,662,472
The Social Network	£1,538,571	£5,359,109
Legend of the Guardians	£737,444	£737,444

Movie News: SHERLOCK HOLMES 2 - SET PICS

After the huge success of the original film last year, it's no surprise that Holmes and Watson are back to solve another case!  Thanks to my friends at www.justjared.com, I have the first pics from the set of the sequel, currently filming in Greater London.  Granted they're not particularly exciting shots, but it's good to see Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law back together. 

Also, just when you think it couldn't get any better, they go and cast Stephen Fry as Holmes' brother Mycroft...brilliant! Not only that, but Holmes' arch nemesis Professor Moriarty (Mad Men's Jared Harris) will be the villain.  This is going to be a sure fire hit and I'm not sure I can wait until it's released next Christmas...but I'll just have to!
