Anderson Confirms X-FILES 3!

According to Horror Express,  and other sources, Gillian Anderson confirmed that long rumored X-Files 3 should be out by 2012.  The actress also confirmed the project is likely to be direct to DVD.

We welcome this.  Not only because we’re huge “X-Files” fans.  But we disliked where the last film left the franchise.  We’d love to something a bit more upbeat and open-ended.

Video: RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES!

Fascinating behind the scenes featurette on the some of special effects in the new hit film Rise of the Planet of the Apes.  Those folks at WETA sure are masters at what they do!

Video: THE WOMAN IN BLACK!

One of the creepiest horror films trailers in quite a while.  If the film is even a tenth as good as this trailer we’re in for quite a treat.

Video: ANOTHER EARTH!

We thought we’d shared this before.  But, just checked, we haven’t.  So we’re sharing it now.  Looks like one of the more intriguing low budget Science Fiction films to come along in quite a while.  Let’s hope it lives up to this intriguing trailer.

Photos: First Look at Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT!

We about a year and a half from the theatrical release of The Hobbit.  But that’s not too soon to get a bit of a peek into the production with these three exclusives from Entertainment Weekly.  We get our first look at Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins (above).  And quite a Bilbo he makes too.  Here’s what P.J. has to say about him:

He fits the ears, and he’s got some very nice feet … I think he’s got the biggest hobbit feet we’ve had so far. They’re a little bit hard to walk in, but he’s managed to figure out the perfect hobbit gait.

And speaking of feats, Ian McKellan is  doing one of the hardest feats in the movie business: Playing younger.  See how he fares after the jump.

Super 8, Super Box Office!

J. J. Abrams Sci-fi flick Super 8 looks to easily with this weekend’s box office race with an estimated haul of $35 million.  Although the competition was weak with no other major theatrical feature opening this weekend; the fact that a film that’s not a sequel or a remake or from licensed property, and has no stars, could win a summer weekend remains marginally impressive.  However, massive attempts to brand it as a Spielberg film with unofficial connections to his eighties films, undoubtedly helped greatly.   So don’t pop any champagne corks about the age of the sequel and remake being over.  Many more sequences,  remakes and licensed properties hit this year.  And will likely have grosses that make Super 8‘s look tiny.
