| Godzilla 2012 Movie: A New American Godzilla |
The original script as penned by David Callahan who wrote "The Expendables" and "Doom". But I think the change is very good news. You might not know David Goyer's name, but he's a heavy hitter in Hollywood screenwriting. His resume includes the new "Ghost Rider"sequel, Zack Snyder's "Superman: Man of Steel", as well as all the Chris Nolan Batman movies including the upcoming "Dark Knight Rises.", which were also produced by Legendary. David Goyer's scripts help successfully re-boot the Batman franchise. These films were innovative, yet remained true to the original character. This is part of Legendary's style and was one of the main reasons Brian Rogers brought the Godzilla project to Legendary in the first place. We can hope that David Goyer can work the same magic for Godzilla as he did for Batman.
I'm sorry We'll have to wait a little longer to see the next Godzilla film. I'm sure Legendary want to do a good job, but I'm guessing another reason is that those involved like GarethEdwards have prior commitments. But, I've said this before and I'll say it again, that all the decisions Legendary Pictures has made about this project continue to inspire faith in me that we'll soon see a great American Godzilla.

| Godzilla 2012 Movie |
Things are pretty quiet on the Legendary Pictures Godzilla film front. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I'm starting to get a little worried things are stalling or getting postponed. Gareth Edwards, are you still in charge?Anyway, the only news lately is all fake. There was a semi-cool poster released and a website with nothing on it and there are lots of fan-made trailers floating around on youtube. At least some of them have the decency to tell you they're fan-made. Still, thay can be kind of fun to watch. It's like a movie trivia quiz;..ok, that's Transformers, that's Cloverfield, that's 2012, etc. Here's the poster and some trailers. I'll let them wet your kaiju appetites. Just keep in mind, the only official images so far is the Godzilla at the top of this page. enjoy

| Jurassic Park 4 - Extinction |
The last thing we heard about Jurassic Park 4 was that the script would continue to be worked on after the Writers Strike. which took place this time last year. Now, producers Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy revealed during a junket for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button that plans have fallen through for a fourth entry in the Jurassic Park franchise.
Watch Jurassic Park 4 Trailer:
Artists (Cast) : Alexander Skarsgård, Brooklyn Decker, Hamish Linklater, Liam Neeson, Rihanna, Tadanobu Asano, Taylor Kitsch
Producer : Bennett Schneir, Brian Goldner, Duncan Henderson, Sarah Aubrey, Scott Stuber, Peter Berg
Director : Peter Berg
Releasing Date: 13th April 2012
It is yet another $200 million Hollywood movie about an alien invasion. It is stuffed with all the familiar elements of the genre, from characterisations to dialogues, visual effects to animation, and everything else. It has nothing new to offer in terms of ideas, story, and plot. It looks like a ‘B’ grade movie with terrible performances by its actors who are poorly supervised by the film’s director Peter Berg.
BATTLESHIP exemplifies the serious crisis of ideas that has hit Hollywood. It apparently relies on big money and its marketing machine and might to sell such bad products worldwide to recover the cost of its humongous follies in one weekend swoop. I have doubts if it will work in this case and if BATTLESHIP will be able to do even a fraction of what THE HUNGER GAMES could.
The film is based on a video game for children developed and marketed by Hasbro. The funniest thing about the movie is the request by the Universal’s PR department not to reveal the plot points toward the film’s climax. What is there to reveal or unravel that is not already revealed or unraveled in a film of this genre? Everyone knows how the climax scene will play out in such a film. The little kids can tell you that. And BATTLESHIP is the most predictable of them all. You can foretell its story and plots as soon as the first frame of the film starts to roll. You can even predict the scenes, situations, sequences, dialogues, and the relationships of its characters. There is nothing in the film that surprises you including the visual effects and the CGI generated sea-battle scenes.
The earthlings’ intense desire to connect with living creatures similar to them in the outer space makes them discover a planet in another solar system that shares all the Earth’s characteristics. They broadcast a message through powerful satellite amplifiers hoping to get some response from the alien planet. They get a response as a small alien armada descends from nowhere into the sea near Hawaii at Pearl Harbour where an international naval force is preparing to undergo routine war exercises in an atmosphere of bonhomie. On the American side is Lt. Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch), a wayward, carefree, impulsive, irresponsible, and a skirt-chasing guy who is forced to join the Navy by his elder brother Stone Hopper (Alexander Skarsgård) who commands a destroyer ship. Alex in the meantime has fallen in instant love with Samantha Shane (Brooklyn Decker), daughter of Vice Admiral Shane (Liam Neeson), after a late night bar encounter with her.
The joint naval exercise leads to a conflict between the just arrived alien armada and the international naval force, which soon turns into a full-fledged battle threatening the survival of the whole world. These aliens look like an uglier grown up versions of ET, with the addition of a hard goatee and four fingers instead of three. They move around inside robotic steel armour. They have a weakness. They cannot bear sunlight. In the ensuing battle an entire fleet of destroyers are lost including the one commandeered by Stone Hopper, our hero’s elder brother, who dies in the attack. Our hero and his ship survive but the captain of the ship becomes a war casualty. Now our ‘good for nothing skirt-chaser’ hero Alex is in charge of the destroyer and he is filled with rage over the death of his doting brother. He fights a great battle with the alien forces aided by a Japanese naval officer, a good example of rare international brotherhood. And needless to say he manages to save the world with a little help from a decommissioned battleship-cum-museum run by retired World War 2 war veterans. However, his grand feat of saving the world is not good enough for Vice Admiral Shane to say an unqualified yes to Alex’s request to marry his daughter Samantha.

"Men in Black 3" hits theaters on May 25, 2012.
Columbia Pictures has released 3 film clips for the upcoming sequel “Men in Black 3” where Agent J (Will Smith) is forced to go back in time to join a young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save the world.
The film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld also co-stars Tommy Lee Jones and Emma Thompson.
In Men in Black 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back… in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K’s life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him — secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.
Check out all 3 film clips below.
