9 IMAX MINUTES OF INTO DARKNESS

Paramount has announced that they will screen 9-minutes of Star Trek Into Darkness in IMAX 3D starting December 14th. The footage will be attached to screenings of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

IMAX cameras were used while filming the sequel making for a unique experience to moviegoers. Previews like this have taken place in the past with big blockbusters like The Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises, Avatar and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.

Star Trek Into Darkness is set for release May 17th. The film reunites the main stars from Star Trek with the addition of Benedict Cumberbatch who plays the villain. JJ Abrams returns as director.

The script (written by Todd Graff) whose focus on the story of Epstein himself and not The Beatles.

NEW GI JOE TRAILER!

A big surprise this past summer was the decision by Paramount to put back the release of G.I. Joe Retaliation until 2013.

It was a surprise because it was an anticipated release. It looked as if they learned from the mistakes made in 2009 with Rise of Cobra with Only Channing Tatum and Ray Park returning for the sequel (although I'm not sure how much of the film Tatum is in if you see between the lines of the trailer). The rest of the cast was new and includes the likes of Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis and it also looks like work was put into the script. 

When it was revealed that Paramount pushed the release back to convert the movie into 3D it was a bigger and not really welcomed surprise.

The new release date is March 29th, 2013 and today a new trailer was released which you can see below.

SINGER DIRECTING FIRST CLASS SEQUEL

IRON MAN 3 TRAILER

In the third installment of the Marvel franchise, Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) finds his personal world destroyed at the hand's of Mandarin (Ben Kingsley), Stark then embarks on a harrowing quest that will test his mettle at every turn. 

With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

NEW NAME FOR GIANT KILLER

Jack the Giant Killer was one of the movies on my list of most anticipated films of 2012. The big screen re-imaging of the classic fairy tale stars Nicholas Hoult and is directed by Bryan Singer who previously worked with Hoult on X-Men: First Class.

When Warners ran into delays in pre-production of Arthur & Lancelot, they pushed Jack the Giant Killer back to 2013. Part of this may have also been to give it distance from the very crappy Snow White and the Huntsman, another live action re-imaging of a classic fairy tale.

JUSTICE LEAGUE MIGHT FIGHT AVENGERS 2

Another movie in the long list of movies that seem to never get made, but are always talked about, is Justice League. After the success The Avengers had this past summer, Warner Bros/DC suddenly felt the need to get this project going and quick. There have been issues such as expiring rights to the Superman character getting the way, after a successful court battle for Warners that's no longer the case.

GHOSTBUSTERS 3 TO FILM IN SUMMER

Ghostbusters 3 has been promised on again and off again for so long now that we've gotten used to shrugging it off as just another thing that will never come to light. Over the past year however the rumours have been more rampant, giving fans some hope.
