And yes, James Cameron is probably the best person when it comes to three dimensional world, since he’s already preparing 2012 release for the 3D version of Titanic, which will coincide with the “100 year anniversary of the sailing of the ship.”

Cameron, pioneer in the field of motion capture, in the mid-’90s already used the nascent technology to create the massive crowd scenes and stunts in his blockbuster Titanic.

On the other hand, we will not have to wait for Avatar on 3D Blu-ray for too long, because it’s probably going to be released in fall this year.

Actually, the whole idea is to do things the right way, and according to Cameron it should take six months to a year to convert a film to 3D in post production.

In a short interview for USA Today, Cameron said:

“They’re converting Clash of the Titans in eight weeks. But I’m guessing six months to a year to do it right.”

“You know, everybody is an overnight expert. They think, “what was the takeaway lessons from Avatar? Oh you should make more money with 3D.”

“If people put bad 3D in the marketplace they’re going to hold back or even threaten the emerging of 3D. People will be confused by differences in quality because the audience doesn’t know the difference – when they put on the glasses on, they don’t know if the problem is in the glasses, the TV or the actual way in which the stereo space is managed by the producers of the film.”

Of course, most of directors agree that this thing can not be the same or, if you prefer – as good as shooting in 3D, and Cameron is definitely one of them.

Still, he is not totally against 3D post production of existing films as long as it’s “done well” and “driven by the artist.”

When asked about 3D converting an older movie such as The Wizard of Oz, Cameron said:

“That gets into an interesting area. At that point the people that own the library have the right to do it, particularly if they own the rights to all media. At least in the near term, that it won’t be economically feasible to start converting old episodes of MASH to 3D because it won’t look good. If you use some automated process or some cost-effective process for that type of programming its going to look like crap. It’s like colorization looked like crap.”

The result, by his opinion, could be called “sort of 2.8D” so you can judge for yourself about the potential quality.

We could also mention that, when asked should the existing film catalog be converted to 3D, Cameron’s answer was:

“..If it’s done well. I think it should be driven by the artist. If Star Wars gets converted into 3D I think George Lucas should do it. If Terminator gets converted into 3D, I should do it.” Pretty interesting statement.

Since we all had a chance to see that Avatar and Alice in Wonderland worked out very well (just for a record Avatar has grossed $2.6 billion in theaters worldwide so far), it’s no strange thing that this director thinks 3D market is “an extremely lucrative market and this is not a fad, this is not something that is going to go away.”

Let us also mention that the Black Eyed Peas gave an unannounced concert in New York’s Times Square, and the event was filmed in 3D by none other than James Cameron. So, maybe he didn’t won Oscar this year, but you could all agree that this director has certainly done the most to elevate 3D to new heights, and we appreciate him for that!

When Katherine Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker won for “Best Picture,” many believed that James Cameron’s Avatar had been robbed. Speculation focused on Oscar politics and the directors’ ill-fated marriage. But noted psychologist Dr. Jeffrey Fine says the reason is simpler: Avatar didn’t win because the Academy missed the movie’s deeper meaning and chose a “real life” film instead.

Those who’ve argued that Avatar mimics Dances With Wolves or Pocahontas prove Dr. Fine’s point.

“The message in Avatar is not a simplistic return to nature or to a previous evolutionary stage,” he argues, adding, “It may be the next leap in the evolution of consciousness, and the only one that may hold the promise of survival.”

Pointing to the greed and cynicism that not only mark much of American culture but have hardened American hearts, he says that unless we wake up to Avatar’s message, humanity will be lost.

“This film should be seen by every man, woman and child,”

he says, suggesting that parents should take their teens and tweens to see it and discuss hidden meanings.

“I see you,” for example, comes from the Sanskrit Namaste, which translates to: “The God in me sees the God in you” or “I see myself in your eyes.”

Like Star Wars, Avatar also appeals to our collective unconscious, or world soul. The Na’vi experience of unity of consciousness with other beings — all of which (themselves included) are really just manifestations of One Awa, or Yahweh — echoes our ancestors’ belief in an interconnected, ever-changing intelligent web of life, symbolized by the World Tree.

Unfortunately, says Dr. Fine, Avatar’s “everything is connected” message lies in glaring contrast with the culture of separation most Americans experience. Focusing on a rise of the feminine, and the importance of bonding, this movie offers a blissful alternative to a world where mothers are devalued and babies sent to day care at the ripe old age of six weeks.

In the end, Dr. Fine concludes, this film is about standing at a crossroads: What do we choose for our children — commercial materialism or reconnection with all life?

“Sadly,” says Dr. Fine, “the bulldozers in Avatar represent what corporate, modern life have done to us — steamrolling our soul and consciousness.”

A former student of the famed Joseph Chilton Pearce, and a member of the Association for Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health, Dr. Fine says we can help combat this separation by engaging in conscious child-centered parenting. He suggests that new mothers breastfeed, sleep with their babies, connect with nature, and engage in simple low-tech creative play.

You all guess that the main reason for this certainly is the latest, Tim Burton’s new incarnation of this story.

But let’s start from a beginning. We were all young, we all liked fairy-tales (well, some of us still do), and enjoyed so many characters, we all had our special heroes. Then, what’s so magical about this story, when it still manages to stay on the top of the list?

Ok, we all know the facts, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is written by the English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who used a pseudonym Lewis Carroll. The story tells what happens to a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy world which is populated by peculiar imaginary creatures and objects that come alive and have a personality.

You don’t have to be some genius to realize that’s exactly the main point of this story – dreams can come true, dreams are some new dimension that make you think about them, you’re no longer safe out there, you’re on your own, everything depends on you, on your heart, on people you let to be your friends…

In one word, it’s a mind game. Don’t forget that Carroll himself was also a mathematician, so in one hand it really is very well constructed puzzle that you have to put together. And that could be exactly the thing that inspires the directors to put this story on a big screen.

Think for yourself guys, when you have so many creatures that act like a human beings, so colorful nature, so cute animals and this brave little girl with such a big heart, you would do the same thing, right? 

John Tenniel’s illustration of Alice 1865

How many times you had a chance to see some Alice actress in this pose? Have you ever wondered whose idea it was?

Sir John Tenniel, English illustrator is best remembered today for his illustrations in Carroll’s Alice and Through the Looking Glass from 1865.

They have taken their place among the most famous literary illustrations ever made, and used as a model for the costumes in Paramount Pictures’ Alice in Wonderland.

The appearance of the characters has also tended to change, according to each artists’ style.

In this part, we could also mention the illustrations of Arthur Rackham and A.E. Jackson, that were more detailed, but some of them with variations in Alice’s clothing and hair. See for yourself

The first movie adaptation of Alice was an early British silent film from 1903, directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, memorable for its use of special effects, including Alice’s shrinking in the Hall of Many Doors, and in her large size, stuck inside of White Rabbit’s home, reaching for help through a window. Alice was played by May Clark. Take a look below to see how the whole thing looked like.

Another silent film with this story was a ten minute black and white film made in the United States in 1910, directed by Edwin S. Porter, with Glady Hulette as Alice, as well as 1915 version, directed by W.W.Young with Viola Savoy in the role of Alice.

We’re finished with silent movies, I promise.

Now, let’s take a look at 1931 black and white low-budget film, directed by Bud Pollard, in which many of the all-American cast struggled to reproduce British accents. We can mention Ruth Gilbert starring Alice and Ralph Hertz in the role of the White Rabbit. It was not financially successful and received little critical attention. It has never been shown on television either, but still, this is how our Alice looked back then. Check it out below.

Alice In Wonderland from 1931

But the 1933 film version of Alice was completely different thing. An all-star Paramount Pictures undertaking was indeed live – action story, with names like Charlotte Henry as Alice, Gary Cooper as the White King, Edward Everett Horton as The Mad Hatter, Cary Grant as the Mock Turtle, and so on. The movie was directed by Norman Z. McLeod, and still occasionally broadcast on cable television channels. Maybe this picture will remind you what we’re talking about.

Probably the best known animated film, made under the supervision of Walt Disney himself, was the one released in New York City and London on July 26th 1951. It features the voices of Kathryn Beaumont as Alice, and Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter. This film and its animation are often regarded as some of the finest work in Disney studio history. We’re not surprised, since this version of “Alice” was intended for large family audiences, and we guess that everyone remembers this scene.

We all also know great Alice adaptation from 1972 British film, both written and directed by William Sterling, starring Fiona Fullerton in the title role, Peter Sellers, Robert Helpmann and Dudley More.

The two- part version special made for television came out with huge all-star cast of notable actors and actresses. It was directed by Harry Harris, with Natalie Gregory as Alice, Red Buttons as The White Rabbit, Anthony Newley as The Mad Hatter, and so on. This version of “Alice” was first telecasted December 9, 1985, (part one) and December 10, 1985 (part two), and here is one scene below that may refresh your memory.

Fourteen years later, television movie with the same story, was Alice in Wonderland directed by Nick Willing, and first broadcasted in 1999.

This movie is the 16th film based upon Carroll’s book, with Tina Majorino in the role of Alice, and a number of well-known performers portrayed the eccentric characters whom Alice meets during the course of the story, including Ben Kingsley, Martin Short, Whoopi Goldberg, Christopher Lloyd…

We can also mention that this movie was a mix of puppetry and live-action, with exactly 875 special digital effects that were created for the film. Back then, Alice looked like this:

Our little journey is going to finish soon, because we’re in 2010, with director Tim Burton, and movie that we all wrote so much about.

Spectacular costumes, make-up, and cast make this movie – no ordinary one, that’s for sure! It’s not surprise that this part of the movie received critics like this: “..Much of its design is wonderfully imaginative-surely the biggest draw of the movie.“…We couldn’t agree more!

Young Australian actress Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter or maybe Helena Bonham Carter as Red Queen? Just name it! Every single character is so alive that you have a feeling you’re right there, living your own adventure together with Alice.

At the end, let’s just say that we all have our favorite Alice, but we’re even more happy to have her around after all these years. She is not some moralizing heroine that tells us how to behave, she’s just our little friend reminding us that even the silliest dream can indeed become real. And we’re thankful for that, dear Alice!

The Expendables Poster

The film pays tribute to the blockbuster action films of the 1980s and early ’90s, and stars an array of action veterans from those decades (such as Stallone himself, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li, Bruce Willis and Mickey Rourke).

After years of unspeakable corruption that concludes with tragedies such as the murder of American hostages and betrayal of foreign policies, and finally recognizing a way out of this terrible mess, the U.S. along with other nations, equally seeking the end of this catastrophe, secretly put together a squad of its highest trained military personnel finally to overthrow the dictator who has caused devastation in South America for over 20 years. The team sets out on its mission to complete the assassination, but with little help from the nations as they try to keep the mission secret. After they realize that there will be no outside help, they rely on their own resources to fight not only the dictator’s army but also the governments that set them up.

The Expendables opens to theaters August 20th, 2010.

At Swim Two Birds

For now, we could call it pretty ambitious, that’s for sure, because the film will mark the directorial debut of actor veteran, Irish actor Brendan Gleeson, including well-known Irish actors: Colin Farrell, Gabriel Byrne and Cillian Murphy. That sounds like a good start for me!

The 1939’s  masterpiece, written by Irish author Brian O’Nolan (or if you prefer his pseudonym name – Flann O’Brien) – At Swim Two Birds, is a novel that tells us a story about unnamed Irish student of literature, who decides to write a book.

You might ask – what’s so interesting about that? Well, if you’ve read the novel, you ceartinly know what kind of mess it becomes.

Characters out there just can’t stand still, so at one time you actually get three apparently quite separate stories in motion.

They just go around looking for trouble. Maybe that’s why even Dylan Thomas said that “this is just the book to give your sister – if she’s a loud, dirty, boozy girl.”

On the other hand, it’s  kind of autobiographical frame story, so we can only guess which actor will have a privilege to be our leader through this interesting tale.

And although shooting is planned for March, the main problem, as we heard, are still financies. Maybe Colin Farrell had right when he said that:

“…it’s very hard for films that don’t have special effects and have a literary core. Few films have more of a literary core than this.”

And that’s exactly the point, since this one includes elements of farce, satire and fantasy, or as some like to describe it – “it’s a fight between Ireland’s literary, heroic past and its grimy, mundane present.”

Well, guys, you got yourself some interesting idea, and excellent actor crew, that’s obvious, although it must’ve been quite hard trying to schedule in so many busy Irish actors. We are here to wish you luck!

Universal Pictures has released a new trailer for thier action-adventure Robin Hood fearuting a lot of new scenes, including the action sequences which sometimes involve Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett).

Oscar winner Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure known by generations as Robin Hood, whose exploits have endured in popular mythology and ignited the imagination of those who share his spirit of adventure and righteousness. In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders confront corruption in a local village and lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world power. And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people.

The untitled Robin Hood adventure chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard’s army against the French. Upon Richard’s death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from the corruption of a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion (Oscar winner Cate Blanchett), a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff.

With their country weakened from decades of war, embattled from the ineffective rule of the new king and vulnerable to insurgencies from within and threats from afar, Robin and his men heed a call to ever greater adventure. This unlikeliest of heroes and his allies set off to protect their country from slipping into bloody civil war and return glory to England once more.

British filmmaker Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner, Black Rain, G.I. Jane, Gladiator, Hannibal, Black Hawk Down, American Gangster) directed the movie from the script written by Oscar winner Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential, Conspiracy Theory, Mystic River, Man on Fire, and Green Zone).

Robin Hood is scheduled to hit theaters on May 14th, 2010.

The Talking Cure

You had a chance to read about this new project, but some things changed in a meanwhile, mostly those that referred to a possible cast…

For almost three years we knew the fact that David Cronenberg is more than interested in Christopher Hampton’s play The Talking Cure, and was preparing it as his new project.

But like we’re all used to, in Hollywood everything changes within a minute, so did Cronenberg’s plans, since he, in that time, became attached to The Matarese Circle.

Anyway, there was a rumor that names like Keira Knightly, Michael Fassbender and Christoph Waltz, are going to be a part of it.

We must admit that this could be very nice chance for Knightly, since she is going to play a disturbed young woman Sabina Spielrein, the patient.

“A beautiful young woman, driven mad by her past. An ambitious doctor on a mission to succeed. An esteemed mentor with a revolutionary cure. Let the mind games begin…”

At the time, Cronenberg seemed to have a fantastic cast lined up: Knightly on the one, and Christoph Waltz as Freud and Michael Fassbender as Jung on the other side.

Unfortunately, great Waltz had to drop out in order to do Water for Elephants, since both movies are scheduled to begin a ten-week shoot in mid-May.

Still, lucky news is that Viggo Mortensen is going to be Cronenberg’s next Freud. Not bad choice, you’ll agree, since they already worked together in A History of Violence and Eastern Promises.

Just for a record, let us remind you that Christopher Hampton’s The Talking Cure was first presented at the Cottesloe Theatre in London, in January 2003, in a production directed by Howard Davies, starring Ralph Fiennes as Jung, Jodhi May as Sabina Spielrein, and Dominic Rowan (replacing James Hazeltine) as Freud.

So, in some weird way, it seems that when it comes to Cure replacements are kind of inevitable.

We are more than satisfied with the cast, the story and the fact that David Cronenberg is in the director’s chair, so we hope that you will also enjoy in this movie. Looking forward to see it soon!

The first photos from upcoming drama Eat, Pray, Love have arrived.

A woman who once made it her goal in life to marry and rear a family finds her priorities suddenly shifting in director Ryan Murphy’s adaptation of author Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling memoir. In the eyes of many, Gilbert was a woman who had it all — a loving husband, a great apartment, and a weekend home — but sometimes one realizes too little too late that they haven’t gotten what they truly wanted from life. On the heels of a painful divorce, the woman who had previously looked forward to a contented life of domesticated bliss sets out to explore the world and seek out her true destiny.

Brad Pitt and Dede Gardner produce a film starring Pretty Womanand Erin Brockovich beauty Julia Roberts.

Along with Roberts the film also stars Javier Bardem, James Franco, Billy Crudup, Richard Jenkins and Viola Davis.

The screenplay was co-written by Ryan Murphy and Jennifer Salt.

Eat, Pray, Love is scheduled to hit theaters on August 13, 2010.

Tron Legacy Billboards #1 & #2:

We all know this lady didn’t have much luck lately, and we could call her current phase something like ’series of flops’.

On the other hand, she’s dealing with some critics out there that say Kidman should definitely try to find some good role that would bring her reputation back. Can The Wedding Doctor be Nicole’s big comeback?

That’s exactly the title of the new movie that already sounded like some female version of well-known Hitch.

In the film, Kidman would play a relationship analyst who advises couples on their interpersonal dynamics before they marry. But after she meets her latest clients, the doc decides she’d actually be a better match for the groom-to-be, triggering a showdown with his fiancée.

But as we said, nobody was very interested in details about the movie, the real question now is – will this romantic comedy going to bring any success? Or is it possible that it’s doomed to failure as some believe?

They also think some other actress deserved an opportunity to take a starring role, and that Kidman’s not worth the risk. We could call that a little bit cruel…maybe?

Let us remind: after becoming the highest-paid actress in Hollywood in 2006, Kidman made a string of flops both large and small: Nine, Australia, The Golden Compass, The Invasion, and Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus have all been box-office disasters.

The same thing happened with her last romantic comedy, a film adaptation of the popular show Bewitched. Ok, well, that is true, but still, you have people saying they watched these movies just because Nicole was in them.

Maybe that’s exactly the thing that motivated Relativity Media, the large independent motion-picture production and investment company, since this is going to be their project? Who knows…

One thing is for sure, The Wedding Doctor is coming! We really hope this time Nicole found her lucky role, and that her taste will align with mass audience..
