A tentavily titled Fast and The Furious sequel called Fast Five has been put into production. It should start filming later in 2010 for a Fall 2011 release.

300 Posts?!?!?!

Yep, folks. This marks a resounding 300 posts from the Dougs Domain crew. We continue to be the leaders in film news and reviews. There's a bunch of stuff coming that I can't wait to show you! Have a great 2010!

Anticipating 2010: Part 2

Let's continue on our search for the viable films in the second part of the trilogy posts dealing with the new year.

The A-Team: Remake an 80's Show is as common as the cold. But this one looks actually *GASP* good. Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Quinton Rampage Jackson and Sharlto Copley are in the cast and it looks like a fun combo. Some great action and lines might make this a great action film. (June 11)

Toy Story 3: The most wanted film of the year, this brilliant gem follows two fo the greatet films of all-time. With a sad premise, fun new characters and some secrets yet to be revealed, Toy Story 3 is gonna rule whether you want it to or not. (June 18)

Grown Ups; Adam Sandler is always fun, but pair him with Kevin James and Chris Rock and David Spade AND Rob Sdhneider and you have what looks like the knock-out comedy of the summer like The Hangover was. (June 25)

Despicable Me: I was all ready to say Boo to this...but I can't resist a film that gives Chuck Jones homages and the animation looks clever. I love Steve Carrel so this could be the surprise flick of the summer. (July 9)

Inception: Christopher Nolan follows the matserpiece The Dark Knight with this odd thriller. No one knwos what it is about or even what it may end up being. But I keep getting intrigued by the little things we see and I trust Nolan a lot so I'll give it a try. (July 16)

Guardians of Ga'Hoole: Zach Snyder is a visionay. Watchmen was an abomination story-wise but it's visuals....wow. Whenever I read about this film I think of when Wes Anderson made Fantastic Mr. Fox (another movie ased on an animal book). Zach may have the same impact here when he directs this owl fable. (September 24)

The Social Network: David Fincher is about to bring us the man behind...Facebook! Well put that with Flash of Genuis as another odd inventor film, but I just can't get the film out of my head. I think this might work after all. (October 1)

The final part will be published this weekend.

Airbending Banners

M. Night Shamylan is releasing an adptation of The Last Airbender this summer. Coupled with the Super Bowl TV spots, these 2 banners have been made. The film looks Ok, though I ain't gettin' hopes up.

Anticipating 2010 Part I

You might think this is way too late. After all, 2010 is 24 days old. However, some new trailers for a majority of 2010 films have come in, giving a good opinion on what they'll be like (though they can be misleading, see Extraordinary Measures). So, without further ado, let me introduce some of the can't wait flicks of the year.

Shutter Island: Martin Scorsese. Need I say more? A little? Alright then. This film may have been post-poned from October, but that seems to have been because of some budget problems: the film looks amazing. This could be a great thriller like The Shining if Martin can really do it right. I have the utmost confidence though we'll be seeing a master at work when this baby hits theatres. (February 5, 2010)

The Lightning Thief: I actually am a fan of the books and of Percy Jackson and his demigod buddies. Camp Half-Blood seems like a great place to be and surprisingly this film looks like it good be great too. I like the casting of Pierce Brosnan and Brandon T. Jackson, casting choices that may say they wanted the film to have good actors that could really portray the characters well, a rarity these days. (February 12, 2010)

Alice In Wonderland: This one is near the top of my list. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton have been a dynamite combo before, but this film looks to be a mind-blower, perhaps even close to an Avatar scale. This is one film that looks to be hailed by all ages and maybe get Johnny Depp that Best Actor Oscar he so richly deserves. (March 5, 2010)

Season of The Witch: Say what you will, but I love Johnny Depp and this looks right up his alley. He definitely looks great here, but it's also the brilliant Ron Perlman that looks great. It may be dark, but the film still looks like a grand piece of kick-butt action. (March 19, 2010)

How To Train Your Dragon: This film looks like it's gonna break the DreamWorks tradition like Kung Fu Panda did and be much better than people thought it would. The trailer looks touching and perhaps a little adventurous. The Lilo and Stitch director Chris Sanders directs this film and it shows. It looks much different than most animated movies and I hope it's differ net as well in one single department: good quality. (March 26 ,2010)

Date Night: Tina Fey and Steve Carrel are funny alone. Together? That can only add up to hilarity, especially when you put them in a James bond like situation. The trailer is uproarious and I can't wait to see the final product (April 9, 2010)

Iron Man 2: Robert Downy Jr. has hit his peak right now..or will when this baby comes out. I loved the 1st Iron Man, probably one of the best of 2008. I have been waiting for a sequel and BOOM! here it is! Although Don Cheadle's casting could be awkward, but I still think this could be one of 2010's best pictues right here.

Robin Hood: Russel Crowe where have you been (except for the classic Body of Lies)? Filming this I guess. The fact that Ridley Scott directs this only adds to the intrigue. True, it may not be a classic like Iron Man 2 or laice in Wodnerland oculd be, but Robin Hood sure looks fun and I'll be there on oepning weekend to see it.

Prince of Persia: It was bound to happen that Disney would want to get a new Pirates like frnachise started. But who knew it would be based off this game? Though it's property is odd, it could be a fun movie, espicially since it takes place in a rare Egyptian time that you don't see of tne in films.

Look for Part II soon (there MAY be a PArt III. I'll see soon enough.)

Shrek 4 & MegaMind Screened

Two of Dreamworks 2010 releases had never-before seen footage screened yesterday. The following is the description for Shrek 4:

Screened for an eager audience was, straight through, the first thirty minutes of the new film in 3D, which opens with storybook narration, recounting Shrek's previous adventures. We're then taken to a "carriage park" (imagine a redneck trailer park, but with fairytale witches and vampires living out of their carriages) as the King and Queen of Far, Far Away reluctantly drive through to a meeting with Rumpelstiltskin (and his surprisingly sinister-looking pet, a sharp-toothed duck named Fifi). There, the diminutive creature (voiced by Dreamworks Animation production artist Wal Dohrn) tries to get them to sign a contract, trading their kingdom to have Fiona's curse lifted. Just as they are about to sign, someone barges in and tells them that the curse has been lifted, as per the events of the first "Shrek" film.

We cut back to the storybook with the narrator, now revealed to be Rumpelstiltskin himself, sitting in a bookstore, furiously talking about how Shrek ruined his chances at ruling Far, Far Away.

Shrek, meanwhile, is living an idyllic life with Fiona and his kids. Donkey drops by with his own dragon/donkey offspring and every day a tour bus passes and tourists happily photograph the formerly terrifying ogre. Quickly, this builds to a montage, revealing that, as happy as Shrek is, the monotony is getting to him. He finally reveals to Fiona that he wishes he could have just a single day of being a monster again.

Setting himself up in a false carriage accident, Rumpelstiltskin tricks Shrek into stopping to help him in the middle of the woods. Pretending to be grateful, he tells Shrek that, if he's willing to give up a single past day of his, he can magically arrange a day for him to be a real ogre again. Suggesting that it could be a day when he was a baby that he won't even remember, Rumpelstiltskin convinces Shrek and he signs a lengthy contract.

Suddenly coming to in the woods, Shrek spots "WANTED" posters with his face and, to his delight, realizes that his wish has come true: he can terrorize the village again. In a musical montage, he does just that, happily causing havoc and chasing townspeople (all set to The Carpenters' "Top of the World").

Later, though, Shrek spots another poster, this one with Fiona's face. Realizing something is wrong, he returns to the town and realizes things aren't as he planned; Ogres are being rounded up and imprisoned in the castle by the new ruler, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek himself is captured and brought in by two witches, in a carriage pulled by Donkey (who, in this reality, never met Shrek).

On the way into town, there's a great appearance by Gingerbread man who, in the alternate timeline, is a Roman-style gladiator, fighting animal crackers in a miniature stadium.

At the palace, Shrek comes before Rumpelstiltskin in a sort of witch-filled nightclub. The villain reveals that the day that was taken from Shrek was the day he was born and, as such, he never really existed. When the 24 hours are up, Shrek will vanish forever.

Furious, Shrek breaks free of his chains and grabs an unwitting Donkey, battling witches and escaping from the palace, the clock quickly running out to find a loophole in Rumpelstiltskin's contract

Here is The MegaMind description:

Megamind himself (voiced by Will Ferrell) has a similar origin to Superman; when he was a baby, his planet was destroyed and he was rocketed to Earth. His landing, however, was inside a penitentiary and he grew up a criminal genius.

By Megamind's side is Minion (voice by David Cross), a combination robot/monkey with fish tank for a head and the mind of a talking piranha (presumably constructed by Megamind himself).

Metro City (mispronounced by Megamind as "metrocity", rhyming with "velocity") is championed by Metroman (voiced by Brad Pitt), a muscular superhero with a white Elvis-like costume and Reed Richards-style graying temples.

Metroman's love interest is Roxanne Ritchie (voiced by Tina Fey), a TV news reporter who is Megamind's go-to girl when he needs a damsel in distress. As such, Megamind and Roxanne are extremely familiar with one another and she has become bored by his failed plots to rule the world.

The footage opens with Metroman attending a museum ribbon cutting in his honor. He showboats for the crowd, flying, doing tricks and even juggling a woman's babies, all the rounds of roaring applause.

Megamind, meanwhile, has kidnapped Roxanne and taken him to his secret lair. Tied to a chair, Roxanne is unimpressed with anything Megamind has, including a pit of alligators and an enormous machine gun.

Going on the air, Megamind broadcasts a message to Metroman, telling him off the kidnapping. Roxanne shouts to the hero that she's being held at an abandoned observatory and Metroman rushes to her aid. The tables are turned on Metroman, however, as the observatory is revealed to be a fake. Metroman finds himself inside a large, domed building while Megamind watches from an adjacent base.

Telling Minion to fire his laser, Megamind is horrified to find that it's going to take longer to load the programing than he had thought. Metroman and Megamind exchange some really funny superhero metaphors back and forth ("Justice is a non-corrodible metal!" shouts Metroman at one point). With the laser unable to fire, Megamind thinks he's lost again, until he spots something unusual on his monitor: Metroman is trapped inside the dome. Copper, he reveals, is his secret weakness and Megamind has unwittingly lured him to a building that has sapped his energy. Unable to fly away, Metroman is struck by the laser blast and, apparently, completely destroyed.

The footage ends here, but a few slides were shown of what happens next; Megamind conquers the city, but finds that, without a rival, his life has no meaning. He goes to work creating a new superhero out of Hal Stewart, a cameraman for Roxanne (as voiced by Jonah Hill), creating the alternate superhero identity Titan.

These films sound OK, though I like MegaMind more than Shrek 4.

Which Is The Real X?

It seems a SECOND X-Men movie has been said to be next. Despite X-Men: First Class having a director and Deadpool having a finished script, a second Wolverine film has something those films don't: a start date. The film is set to start filming next Spring and have a script and casting done by the end of 2010. Hmm. My question is where does First Class come in? Maybe it's right after it?

TIme will tell.

FREEEDOM....At 54

Mel Gibson, two time Academy Award Winner, has just turned 54 today. The great actor will return to his acting roots later this month in Edge of Darkness and will be acting again in 2011 in The Beaver.

Many happy returns for the man who is a great inspiration to us all. Hopefully he'll still have some good chops in Edge of Darkness.

Editorial: Where Disney Goes Now

The Princess and The Frog has held up well this week. So well in fact, that it still has a chance of surpassing Bolt. Which would put this picture in blockbuster status. So after this hit, where does Disney go?

Next up is Rapunzel and you probably saw the post with the 1st image from the film. The film has been in production for 6 years, with the image aboving being from a 2006 version of the film. However, it finally will be in 3D cinema's later this year. When that arrives on November 12 2010, what's after it?

5 months later it's back to the Hundred Acre Woods as we go back to a Winnie the Pooh film like the grand Winnie the Pooh shorts Walt used to make. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is among my favorite films. I remember watching the VHS over and over and over again. A 2D film like that would be marvelous. Of course, this film won't just be aimed at pre-schoolers, a saving grace. That film should be out by April 2011.

Afterwards, well as the indian said to Bart in "Bart To The Future" 'It gets kind of hazy after that.' The film Disney had afterwards was King of The Elves, which was set for December 2012. That film has been pushed to 2014. What takes it's place? Joe Jump. That film was thought to be a big CGI film back Eisnier was in power. He thought the film would be out by 2009. However, John Lassetter scrapped it.

Yet, John has decided to take it and another 2D picture out from the shelved department and forge ahead. Both of these Eisnier era films will continue on. Joe Jump will be out in November 2012.

Finally, in 2013 that other 2D picture shall be out. What's it called? The Snow Queen, that film I reported on not too long ago. It'll be out in 2013.

Just as note, I think you might notice a pattern. Look at the list below:

*The Princess and the Frog-2009-2D
*Rapunzel-2010-CGI
*Winnie The Pooh-2011-2D
*Joe Jump-2012-CGI
*The Snow Queen-2013-2D
*King of The Elves-2014-CGI



On even years, Disney will release a CGI film, wheras on odd years a 2D film will be released. That is Disney animation's buisness paln thus far. I'll report on any Disney Animation film updates.

Despicable Poster

Despicable Me is an interesting looking film coming out in 2010. If we're going by the 3 trailers that have been released, the film seems to be like Tex Avery and Chuck Jones cartoons. Above in the poster are the main characters little henchman, cute characters. I can't wait to see what happens in this film.

I Pity The Fool Who Isn't in The A-Team

The A-Team remake is almost done filming. A question on everyone's mind though, is will Mr. T be part of it. THe answer is No. Why? Because he felt a cameo wasn't needed, like William Shatner in Star Trek.

Quite interesting.

SYS

Continuing The FInal Lap

The Final Lap series of Cars have started to pour in. Some of these look quite well and I am excited to have Contanzo Della Corsa.

Pit Crew Sarge is one of those "Where Have You Been?" Cars so good to see him.



Now this guy is Lightning McQueen slathered in mud. I thought he was coming early this year, not early 2010/late 2009. BEtter late than never though.



I will collect htem all my friends

Apologies to Take Five A Day for images.

Clash in 3D

Sma Worthington is Hollywoods leading man right now and he has a new Action film coming soon. Clash of The Titans is it's name, and destroying gods is it's game. The film looks neat, very interesting take on the gods.

Sam has reported they are doing some reshoots in January and shooting the film in
3D. Very nice. I could defenitly see this as some kind of 3D movie.

52 x 72 Foot Tall Toys

Toy Story 3 shall arrive bigger than you thought! Toy Sotry 3 will be in IMAX 3D, continuing Disney's relationship with IMAX that will continue with Alice In Wonderland & Tron Legacy. I'll be sure to see Buzz flying through the IMAX cinema come June 2010!

SYS

El Buzz Lightyear Arrivo!

This new image from Toy Story 3 shows us the Spanish Buzz, Jessie and Woody together against a fence. I like the idea of a Jessie and Buzz romance. Surprisingly, Woody dosen't actually look envious...just a bit confused as why 2 polar opposites like each other that much!! Can't wait to see this film!

SYS

Marmaduke Has Arrived

The first image from Marmaduke has come in. To keep costs down, it's a real dog, not a CGI dog, thank god. The description it's being carried on is it's a "John Hughes" type movie. Interesting. Maybe I will give it a shot after all.

Clash of The Posters

Looks like Sam Worthington is at it again. His next action film is a remake of the 1981 film. Above is the poster for it. Watch the trailer for the March 26, 2010 flick on Youtube.
