John Lasseter Discusses Brave’s Technical Challenge

A few days ago, during promotion for Cars 2, director John Lasseter spoke about Brave to Irish Film & Television Academy guests in Dublin. While many of the previous quotes on Brave have revolved around it being Pixar’s first film where the central character is a female, the Irish Film and Television Network quotes him on the challenge that arises from it also being the studio’s first period film. All the employees have to do is some research on how objects looked in medieval Scotland and can then simply translate that to animation – right? Not really. Read on to see why John Lasseter says it is not quite that easy. [Read more…]

Deadline is reporting that Paramount has pushed the release date for Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol back five days. Previously scheduled to open on December 16, the film is now set to open closer to Christmas, on December 21.

Additionally, the U.S. version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is now squatting on the same release date as Ghost Protocol. Then, just two days later, another big-bidget Paramount film, The Adventures of Tintin, is racing into theaters, making for a jam-packed Christmas weekend this year. Read on for more on the change!

Video of the Day: Real-Life WALL-E

When WALL-E arrived in theaters in 2008, the adorable robot for which the film is named captured the hearts of filmgoers all over.

In a new video, he shows off many of his modified WALL-E’s voice recognition abilities. I assure you, the results are rather hilarious. DJ Sures also shares how he put the cute little thing together. Watch the video here! [Read more…]

Four ‘Harry Potter’ Actors Set To Star In ‘Brave’

While Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is currently smashing box office records left and right, one common question being asked by fans is, “What now?”. The seven book Potter series (and eight part film series) finally reached its conclusion yesterday and people are looking to latch onto another fantasy. When Brave was first announced, I was enthused by Pixar’s first film with a gritty, fantasy feel to it. However, that’s not the only similarity to the series starring the boy wizard. There are four Harry Potter actors who are attached to star in Brave, including Kelly Macdonald, who is voicing the animated film’s main character! [Read more…]

Cars 2 Blu-ray Sets Available For Pre-order

It feels like Cars 2 just came out in theaters a few weeks ago. Oh, yeah – it did. That hasn’t stopped various online retailers from listing upcoming Blu-ray sets for the film. Amazon recently listed the standard three-disc set, along with a bigger five-disc set. It is interesting to note that while Blu-ray/DVD sets are available for pre-order, a DVD-only set has yet to be listed. Similar to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, it seems that Blu-ray/DVD combo packs (along with Blu-ray only sets) are being pushed to the forefront. Read on for more details on the home release of Cars 2! [Read more…]
