In 2004, Piper Kerman went to prison. In 2011, she wrote a book about it. Now, in 2013, Netflix is bringing that book to life with a new series called Orange is the New Black. It’s still a few weeks out, premiering on July 11th, but a trailer has been released.

As the 9th season of the Always Sunny approaches, along with the shows move to the new FXX branch off, they’ve started releasing the first promotional stuff. Namely a series of trailers teasing the channel switch…in Swedish. FX had pulled them all from YouTube last week, but now King Angus has compiled them all into one video.

TV may long have been the ‘unwashed masses’ when it comes to the entertainment industry but there has been a very obvious shift in recent years of big Hollywood names finding their way to the small screen. Very often they land at one of the premium cable channels. Premiering next year is a show on HBO that has quite a bit of star power attached.
Even though Woody Harrelson is no stranger to television, he’s been more of a movie guy in recent decades and Matthew McConaughey hasn’t been on TV at all outside of a few guest spots here and there. So you can imagine that the people behind HBO’s new series, True Detective, are pretty excited about the future of their show. The two men star as Louisiana cops and from the newly released trailer you get the idea that they might not be completely on the up and up.

We already reported on the rumors of John C. Reilly’s involvement with James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which was mainly connected with the character of Rhomann Dey. In the comics Dey was the Nova Corps member who selected the first Earth born Nova (Richard Rider), but his role in the movie was said to be a human who acted as a liaison between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Guardians. This was of course just a rumor, and recent casting news has raised some interesting questions.

With the opening of Man of Steel I figured it was about time we took to Pinterest to see just what kind of Superman related pins I could find. As usual, I was not disappointed.
Let’s start right off with a little biblical imagery. Of course Superman is [this] close to Jesus so it makes perfect sense. I’m considering finding a way to get this printed and framed on my wall. I think it would look amazing next to my Aquaman as John the Baptist painting.
I have no idea what is going on here but I feel as if I must have it. I mean who wouldn’t want a raccoon (right?) wearing a dishtowel carrying around a samuri sword? NO ONE. I have a feeling the DC Comics copyright department isn’t too worried about people mistaking this Man of Steel for the real deal.
Are you hosting a Man of Steel party and looking for the perfect dessert? Well look no further because this pin is actually a rather good tutorial on how to make some great looking Superman logo cookies. Actually, that’s a lie. The pin goes to the main page (major pet peeve) but this link here will take you to the actual post.
I love this. That’s all I can really say, I just love it. If you aren’t familiar with superhero movies and/or have been living under a rock for the last year, this is a version of the Iron Man 3 poster with obviously Henry Cavill’s Superman as opposed to Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man.
Awwww, who doesn’t love Krypto? I’m a dog person myself and I have a soft spot in my heart for Superman’s best friend. He does seem like the perfect dog. He can freeze things, his senses are superior to other dogs who already have heightened senses, and he can fly. I wish my dogs could fly as it would really save on travel costs – “Come on Ninja, fly me to St. Louis”. Oh to dream.
Not much to say about this one but, how cool is it to see the Superman logos through the years laid out like that? All I know is I really want a t-shirt of that 2003 Superman/Batman logo because that is awesome.
That wraps up this edition of Pinterest finds! Here’s hoping Man of Steel is as good as early reports say it is and in the words of the late great Roger Ebert, I’ll see you at the movies!
You can always trust Asia to come up with some truly inspired and incredible film ideas, and South Korea has come up with a potential classic called Mr Go 3D, or what people will no doubt be calling “ That baseball playing ape movie” (sort of like that AWESOME Matt LeBlanc movie). This has to be a first of some kind and it makes the new trailer that has just arrived that much more special. Though an English language trailer is not currently available at the moment we do have a brief plot summary, courtesy of Base Fount.
Based on a popular Korean comic, Mr. Go 3D is a sports comedy that tells the story of a troublemaker gorilla from a Chinese circus named “Zoo-Zoo” becomes a superstar for a professional baseball team after going through many complications. All the while, his keeper Mi-mi always has her hands full.
If that got your attention then look at this concept art and posters from Twitch Film which shows what potential this film could have.
So now we go straight to the foreign language trailer with at least an idea of the plot. The trailer is put together very well though and anything you were unsure of will no doubt become clear after watching it.
This film utilities motion capture and digital effects to create Korea’s most expensive film, costing over 20 million dollars to make. Luckily, the effects seem to have a story to back them up. The relationship between the Chinese/Korean girl and the ape seems quite touching and the film trailer makes the right decision in showing that this creature has a heart. Nothing wins an audience’s heart more than seeing an animal (even a CGI one) protecting humans. How do you top that? You put him in a baseball uniform! The CGI is quite good, not quite fluid enough to make me forget this is not CGI, but good enough that I can watch the film without this becoming an issue.
The whole concept of this movie seems fantastic; watching an ape playing baseball and taking his team to glory (which the trailer certainly suggests) could make this the feel good movie of the year for animal film lovers everywhere. As you can see I have a soft spot for this film, but it is only because it has so much going for it and I find it hard to believe that people would not want to see an ape take a big swing at a baseball. I love a feel good movie with heart and the nice touches of humor that pop up throughout this trailer (the ape nicking the guys hat for himself and sitting down on the ground before taking his swing made me chuckle) certainly make it more enticing for movie goers who may have been unsure from the start on whether to pay their hard-earned money for.
If you wondered what the artwork of the comic book that this film is based on looks like then feel free to check out the pictures below which showcase some of the comic’s art.
This movie is scheduled for summer 2013 release so we wont’ have to wait long to see how Mr Go really does go at the box office. If it’s successful then it’ll likely be only a matter of time till we hear Disney is doing a version of their own…
