New ‘Alice In Wonderland’ & ‘Cop Out’ Clips

Kofi Outlaw — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:54:36 +0000

Continuing our Screen Rant “Lifestyle of Convenience Initiative” today we have clips from both Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland and Kevin Smith’s cop/buddy comedy, Cop Out.

If you need some quick background on the two films: Alice In Wonderland is a sequel/re-imagining in which Alice (Mia Wasikowska), now a teenage girl, is thrust back into Wonderland with no memory of her prior visit and tasked with saving the lunatic realm from the evil Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter). Cop Out stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as two odd-couple cops who go looking for a stolen baseball card and end up in a whole lot of NYC-inspired mess.

We’ll do Alice In Wonderland first: In this latest clip, Alice eats one of those “pills that makes you larger” which Jefferson Airplane sang so famously about and literally gets ...

Cop Out Red Band Trailer

Kofi Outlaw — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:07:25 +0000

So the first trailer for Kevin Smith’s A Couple of Dicks Cop Out dropped awhile back, but it was so bad that apparently we didn’t even bother to post it!

No real loss, though, as the only thing the theatrical trailer accomplished was making your head ache while you wondered A) What’s happened to Kevin Smith? B) What is Bruce Willis doing in a film like this? C) How can Tracy Morgan be go from being funny in a show like 30 Rock to being the most unfunny person ever filmed?

Today we have a new red-band trailer for Cop Out and it certainly answers 2 out of those 3 questions asked above.

The two answers we get from this red band trailer are:

Kevin Smith is still just too ...

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: November 22, 2009

Niall Browne — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:11:45 +0000

This week:

The box office Twi-Hards With A Vengeance as New Moon breaks records; Dustin Hoffman may not be in the next Fockers movie after all; Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan are just A Couple of Cops; Robert Pattinson will romance some older ladies (control yourselves) in Bel Ami and Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender say Eyre we go again to another Bronte adaptation.

Summit Entertainment and Stephanie Meyer must have been popping champagne corks all weekend with the truly outstanding grosses for their Twilight sequel New Moon.

After grossing a scorching $26.27 million from midnight screenings on Friday the film went on to take $72.7 million for a record opening day – beating The Dark Knight’s $67 million. To put things in context the first film in the Twilight saga scored $36 million on it’s ...

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: September 6, 2009

Niall Browne — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 05:13:38 +0000

This weekend:

It’s Gamer over as the box office has a Final Destination; Kevin Smith loses his Dicks; Blake Lively moves into Affleck’s Town; Liam Nesson and Bono are introduced to The Virgin of Las Vegas; Colin Farrell, Cillian Murphy and Gabriel Byrne swim with Two Birds and Keanu Reeves helps solve Henry’s Crime. Woah!

Box Office
It’s Labor Day weekend again and that can only mean one thing – low box office. Horror franchise film The Final Destination 3-D held onto the top spot with a pretty decent $12 million 3-day take. It should have $15 million in the bag by the close of business Monday giving it a $50 million total. This is going to be the highest grossing film in the series, so expect another installment – soon.

Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper should capture the runner-up ...

First Look: Kevin Smith’s ‘A Couple of Dicks’

Jacob Waldman — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 20:12:52 +0000

Mallrats, Clerks, Chasing Amy, Dogma, blah, blah, blah. Yet there’s a dark little place in my heart that secretly loves Jersey Girl. There, I said it. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I am intrigued (and a little tickled) by the prospect of the new Kevin Smith film, A Couple of Dicks.

I hesitate to prematurely pass judgment on the film based merely on its pedigree, but given Smith’s track record, and the cast of Dicks, February of 2010 has more to look forward to than Martin Luther King, groundhogs, and chocolate hearts.

ComingSoon has revealed the latest photos from A Couple of Dicks, which currently filming in Brooklyn. These new production pictures feature the film’s stars, Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan, as well as one of ...

Mid-Week Movie News Wrap Up – June 4, 2009

Niall Browne — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 19:33:55 +0000

In this Mid week’s Wrap up: Javier Bardem eyes Wall Street; The Cox’s Scream again; Henson does Kung-Fu; Jones goes from Moon to The Deep; Robert Pattinson and Pierce Brosnan Remember Me and we get an eyeful of Bruce Willis’ Dicks.

1. No Wall Street For Old Men.

Oliver Stone and 20th Century Fox want Javier Bardem to star opposite Michael Douglas and Transformer 2 Shia LaBeouf in Wall Street 2.
Whilst Bardem hasn’t met with Stone or the studio as of yet, the Spanish star is at the top of their wish list to play the villain in the sequel to the Oscar-winning hit.

Apparently the plot of the movie involves LaBeouf’s character seeking revenge on (what would be) Bardem’s evil stock trader. In order to navigate the choppy waters of Wall Street the kid befriends Douglas’ Gordon Gecko who has been released from prison following the shenanigans of the ...

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: May 31, 2009

Niall Browne — Sun, 31 May 2009 22:34:07 +0000

In the Wrap Up this Week:

The box office is UP; Robert Downey Jr might still saddle up for Cowboys and Aliens; Lucy beats Nicole Kidman to the Punch; Natalie Portman, Danny McBride and James Franco salute Your Highness; Seann William Scott and Adam Brody are A Couple of Dicks and Chevy Chase dips his toes in the Hot Tub Time Machine and he may return as Fletch.

BOX OFFICE:
The summer season is now well and truly here. Pixar’s Up shows that family films and the Pixar brand are hugely profitable. The animated film banked a huge $68 million over the weekend. For a film that sells most of it’s tickets in half price matinees that’s a lot of attendance.

Last week’s champion Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian had to settle for the runner up spot with a weekend take of $25 million. With ...

Bruce Willis Is Still A Man Of Action

Niall Browne — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:38:51 +0000

Bruce Willis is an iconic man of action to males (and females) of a certain age. John McClane from the Die Hard films is probably his trademark role (although some might say it’s David Addison from TV’s Moonlighting) and throughout the last twenty years he has been synonymous with the action genre. That isn’t about to change anytime soon.

Willis has been in discussions to star in no less than three new action films – three new editions to a pending slate that already includes A Couple of Dicks (set to be directed by Kevin Smith) and Kane and Lynch.

The three latest films are serial killer flick Inventory, mobster movie Scarpa and CIA pic Red .

According to The Hollywood Reporter:

“In Inventory, Willis, who is in negotiations for the role, would play a detective on the trail of a murderer.

In Red, Willis would ...

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: March 8, 2009

Niall Browne — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 18:01:46 +0000

In this weeks Wrap Up:

Watchmen watches the top of the box office; Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan are A Couple of Dicks; we may not get Three Stories About Joan but we will get a lot of suing; Wahlberg takes Prisoners; Steve Carrell brings us the worlds first “Testosterone comedy” in Hi-T; Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck knows The 28^th Amendment (and breaks my spell check).

Box Office

As predicted Zack Snyder’s adaptation of Watchmen captured the top spot at the box office with an estimated $55 million opening weekend. A pretty substantial sum considering the near three hour running time and the R rating. Time will tell if the film has legs and the mainstream crossover appeal to the general public.

Madea Goes to Jail banked another $8.5 million to keep acquire the runner-up spot. So far the Tyler Perry film has netted $76 million.

Liam Neeson’s sleeper hit Taken has ...
