TMNT Reboot Fancast

If you didn't already know the teenage mutant ninja turtle franchise is getting rebooted, witch is FREAKING FANTASIC!! I've always been a big fan of the turtles & there hasent been a great film since the original 1990's film. And to my amazement it is being based on the original comic other than the 80's cartoon. That means it will be darker,gritty,more violate, & also humerous. The perfect formula for an entertaining film. The current rumor is that Jonathan Liebesman is at the top of the list to direct. Like any fan I have a cast in my head that will probably never happen, but would blow my mind if it did. And with the advancements in performance capture technology you can get really good dramatic actors to put their stamp on the characters. Without further ado here is my fan cast...

Starting with Leonardo. I say the perfect pick is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors out there. He has incredible range, and that strong, determined persona that Leo needs. His role in " Inception" sealed the deal for me.



For Raphael I say Tom Hardy. He is a FANTASIC actor who could really sink his teeth into the character. And as seen in "Inception" he is very good at bickering with JGL. And he showed he was perfect in the movie "Warrior" he is a angry, violent, short tempered brut? And pulls it off great. Watch "Warrior" & you'll be convinced.



 For the brilliant and carasmatic Donatello I choose Elijah Wood. He is a pretty underated actor who has the perfect voice for Donnie. He can easily pull off the type of funny, dorky guy who also knows exactly what he is talking about. 





 Michelangelo was probably the hardest to cast. You need someone who is both funny & charming, while still being able to pull off more dramacitc scenes. In the end I chose Jamie Bell. I don't really have any reason for choosing himbother than like him. There isn't really any role or characteristic that he has that makes me think Michelangelo. I just like Jamie Bell & think he could be pretty good in the role. I think if anyone can pull it off it'll be him. 



 For me there is only one choice for Master Splitter, & that is the magnificent Ken Watanabe . I don't have to say anything he is just a great actor and a perfect mentor figure.





That's my fan cast I didn't really say much about them, but you get the idea. We'll probably never see this cast in this property but I can dream cant I...

Why Troll Hunter is AWESOME

Yes, I'm posting something thats not about "The Amazing Spiderman". So I was on Netfilx not to long ago, & I came upon the movie "Troll Hunter". I heard some pretty awesome stuff about it, so I watched it. Troll Hunter is a pretty fricken sweet movie. It is a Norwegian film, so the whole thing is subtitled, & the CG isn't that great, but I didn't really mind. The story is pretty straight forward. It's a found footage movie that follows a group of college kids investigating a man, Hans, who they think is killing local bears. By following him they make discover that he is actually a troll hunter, if you couldn't already guess that. He then allows them to join him & film all of his outings, being that his job sucks & he wants people to  know about it. Hans works for an organization that is practically troll wildlife preservation. This movie is ALOT a fun. The ridiculous concept is handled so seriously that it's pretty funny at times & that was clearly intended. The trolls themselves are cartoon looking, with big noses, and wrinkled faces. That's not to say the film doesn't have some thrills and scars, but it properly earns them. It's hard to describe this movie, you really have to see it to know what I'm talking about. It dose have a pretty slow start, but by the end I was completely satisfied. Just don't take it as seriously as it looks you will unappreciated alot of the humor. And I HAVE to point this out, when Hans is trying to lurer a troll out from a under a bridge he places 3 goats on the bridge, a clear throwback to the tale of the "3 Billy Goats Gruff". Witch was very tastefully done. Check his movie out, odds are you'll like it as much as I did.

First Amazing Spiderman Clip

The amazing spiderman viral campaign continues. Yesterday "MarkoftheSpider-Man"(TAS viral campaign) released the fisrt offical clip of the film. And what can I say it's a 45 sec. clip. The footage itself is raw footage. There isn't any color correction, the audio isn't that great. But the film dosen't come out till July so it's ok. The clip takes place right before the opening of the trailer. Peter is going to eat dinner with the Stacey's & is stopped by the doorman who is curious about his backpack(where he is hiding his spidy tights). It reminds me of the scene in Spiderman 2 where Peter is stopped by the usher at MJ'S play, minus Bruce Campbell's charm. What we do get to see is a bit of Peter's personality. Andrew Garefield is exactly how I remember reading as a kid. He is socially awkward, his sentences & words run together. He knows what he's talking about, but can't quit get it across. That is EXACTLY how I am & can easily relate to him. The scene is fine I mean it's nothing really important that goes on in the story. It's not funny or exciting it's just a normal scene & it's fine.

The Amazing Spiderman Trailer Review

Any worry I had about this movie is GONE!!! I've been a fan of the reboot since they announced Marc Webb was directing the project. (500) Days of Summer is one of my FAVORITE comedies and also one of my favorite movies. One of the things that makes that movie so good is the realistic characters and chemistry. You can clearly see that in this trailer. Andrew Garfield looks fantastic as Mr. Parker, as dose Emma Stone, & Denis Leary. I also love the dynamic they are going for with his pares. Since they haven't been really implicated into the previous movies or really the major comic arcs.The tone of this movie looks great. The Rami movies had a very cheesy light feel to it. It was good for the time , but going back now it's a little toy for my taste.  Since all comicbook movies now are going dark, in order to stay in the game so dose Spiderman & it has that darker tone while not making the character dark & I'm really liking it. Unlike most people I love the costume & it looks great on film. The humor of this trailer is great. I prefer witty humor over slapstick any day of the week & Spiderman is witty and funny. Some say that he was in Rami's movie, but he really Didn't. He cracked a comment every now and then & most the time fell pretty flat. The only thing I would complain about is i think you see to much. There also isn't any wow factor, when you watch the trailers for Prometheus, The Dark Knight Rises, or The Hobbit there is something there that makes your jaw drop. This trailer left me feeling good about the movie, nothing made my jaw drop. Still 'm friken excited for this movie Summer can't come fast enough. It looks like a definite improvement from the Rami movies, which I wasn't a big fan of. Spiderman 2 was good but the other two not as much If you want to watch the trailer yourself click the link here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tnxzJ0SSOw&list=FLOCYyz3c8he5jmkCVwP-c_g&index=1&feature=plpp_video
