UPDATE Re: Yesterday's Disney Shindig: NATIONAL TREASURE 3, WILD HOGS 2, Depp as Tonto, PIRATES 4, TR2N, And More!!
Merrick again...
Heard back fgrom Electric Dreams about the PRINCE OF PERSIA footage mentioned below. Here's what he had to say:
It was a montage, basically, with narration of what the film was about cut together w/ interviews w/ Bruckheimer, Jake and a couple other cast members.
It showed him running around, fighting, doing some jumps, showed some very rough animatics and storyboarded together shots, some details about the villains trying to get the Dagger. A cool villain with a purple cloak whose arms turned to snakes and he thrust them into the ground. They went after somoene looking like TREMORS. Jake looked good with his painted 300 abs I'm sure. Looks promising though thus far.

Merrick here...
Electric Dreams, who has sent us some rather juicy material in the past, dropped us a line about yesterday's event with Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook.
So just got back from attending the Walt Disney Showcase that the company throws for partnering agencies and media and had some big news to reveal.
1st a recap.
Dick Cook the President of the Motion Picture Division spent the day teasing upcoming films for 2009 thru 2011, and with it came a barrage of celebs who he welcomed to the stage to further make the announcement sweeter, here are some examples;
RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN - Dwayne Johnson appeared, talked about the film.
WILD HOGS 2: Bachelor Ride - Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and William H Macy all reunited as they pulled on stage on Harleys.
HANNAH MONTANA: THE MOVIE - Bily Ray and Miley showed up and Miley performed a new song from the soundtrack of this film.
NATIONAL TREASURE 3, SORCERER'S APPRENTICE, G-FORCE - Jerry Bruckheimer and Nic Cage sat with Cook and announced they were going ahead w/ these film, we even saw a trailer for G-Force.
CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC - Isla Fisher made an appearance.
THE PROPOSAL - Sandra Bullock (leaving Dick Cook quite star-struck) came by.
DISNEY'S A CHRISTMAS CAROL - Robert Zemeckis & Jim Carrey talked about making the film.
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 - Kenny Ortega & the Cast came on stage and showed a teaser montage for the movie.
BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA - George Lopez and Papi the Chihuahua chatted it up w/ Dick
They showed the TRON 2 trailer (and everyone went nuts), the same that was shown at Comic Con and Dick said it was for sure a go.
A great SURROGATES trailer & a montage to music of PRINCE OF PERSIA recent dailies wowed the audience, but no appearance by Bruce Willis or Jake Gylenhal.
A teaser of art/concept drawings were shown of Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland", and Dick officially announced Johnny Depp was playing the Mad Hatter!!!
The entire KODAK theater was treated to a 90% finished full version of the movie BOLT (in 3-D) which was BE-AWESOME!!!
And in the end as Dick Cook was wrapping up, the USC Marching Band comes out and starts playing the Lone Ranger theme and a graphic for the film comes on screen.
Suddenly the curtain raises and a White horse w/ a Lone Ranger character is galloping on stage during the music. When it's over, Dick says he hasnt cast a Lone Ranger yet, but he had an idea for a Tonto.
Just then Johnny Depp comes from off stage dressed to the nines as Jack Sparrow with a Lone Ranger mask on a stick over his eyes, banters w/ Dick Cook and makes Dick wear the mask and hold the gun he was carrying.
And then Dick Cook says, "Well what do you think? Johnny Depp as Tonto???"
The crowd goes mad-wild and he says "OK, done."
Then goes onto ask if he thinks we should have Johnny back for another Pirates film? T he crowd goes mad, Dick Cook says "OK, done. "The theatre erupts. Johnny mumbles some things in character and then darts off. Maybe was on stage a total of a minute and barely said anything. It was such a fun day!
Johnny came out as Sparrow had a big white indian feather stuck in his head sticking up...
John Lasseter was there talking about CARS 2. He debuted CARS TOONS, a new mini-on-line series starring Mater which will start showing soon leading up eventually to the CARS 2 film...which is about Mater and Lightning McQueen travelling internationally. This 1st CARS TOONS was about Mater imagining he was a Fire Rescue truck and a Medical Doctor. Cute,
There's one coming up where he thinks he's a Daredevil and another where he fights Bull-Dozers called El MATER'DOR
And when they teased Princess & the Frog, Randy Newman performed a song from the film LIVE...tons of fun!!!
Disney knows how to impress and get the word of mouth out!
Just thought I'd share with you the news and the officiality of it coming right from the Mouse's mouth!

I'm asking Electric Dreams about details of the HANNAH MONTANA movie...I mean the PRINCE OF PERSIA footage shown & so forth, so check back for an update in a bit.

whoo. some of that might actually be awesome.
-
Doh!
-
Making public appearences at Disney events in character... Not only did I not think I'd see the day, I didn't consider that such a thing could exist in the form of a day.
-
Will this be a case of the first white guy to play Tonto?<BR><bR>Serious question actually!<BR><BR>Fourth Pirates? Not against that as long as it's a stand alone flick and not the entry into an impenetrable trilogy!<BR><BR>Cars 2 - - where the fuck are any Incredibles spin-offs!
-
Did anyone else read that and for a second think that 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' was the subtitle for the 'National Treasure' film.
-
I'm going to sate my white guilt by dropping some wompum at the Hard Rock.
-
yep, i too fell for that sorcerer's apprentice thing....i'm blonde though, what's your excuse? :P
-
Samson, Depp's maternal grandfather is a Cherokee, so he is at least 1/4 native american (don't know maternal grandmother's lineage offhand). Actually looking forward to the Cars 2 movie. But that's just because my 5-year-old has worn out the DVD and the PlayStation game for the first one! And yes, Handsome 12th Doctor, I did think that Sorcerer's Apprentice was the subtitle for the third National Treasure film!
-
I mean for fucks sake only the first one was mildly entertaining. The 4th one will just me more CGI incoherent nonsense.
-
I did not know that - thanks.<BR><BR>He is a good actor but I do think it's gonna be brave for Disney to cast someone not 100% Native American as Tonto - if Tonto is actually meant to be 100% Native American! My Lone Ranger knowledge is ltd to the crappy movie from the late 70's/early 80's and three jokes - 2 brilliant, one not so good
-
The only returning cast members are Johnny and Geoffrey Rush. If I see even a hint of Will Turner I will be sending a strongly worded email to the complaints department of Disney, possibly in bold red font. Srsly I'd be THAT pissed.
-
The Brave, starring him and Marlon Brando was, but of course it was never domestically released so it will be the first time audiences here have seen him play one. No more Pirates movies for me though. Part 3 was painful...
-
In that film he directed... the title, plot, and cast of which escapes me. But he was definitely Native American.
-
Curse you for being several seconds ahead of me, Frank Black. CURSE YOU.
-
to see that he's part indian, I don't think that's very compelling. Unless they put it in the credits. Johnny "Cuddles With Burton" Depp.
-
Is that its being directed by Peter Chelsom. Now I know he's made some shitty movies in his time (Shall We Dance, Serendipity, Town and Country), but The Mighty stands as one of my all-time favourite movies and a large part of its charm is Chelsom's sturdy direction. No matter how you look at it, he's a much higher class of director than you would expect from a Miley Cyrus vehicle...

Conflicted Like Every Nerd PS (SETH ROGEN FOR LONE RANGER)
by RosebudsTheSled
I love how I read this stuff and for the most part think- cool,more Pirates, More Lasseter, more Tron, more Witch Mountain, and a fucking Lone Ranger movie...and then I go...wait this Disney...these are the same douchebags that make shitacular direct to video sequels to their classic films...why is this actually kind of exciting? And btw...wasn't Lasseter set to eliminate all of the direct to video stuff when he was put in charge of animation? Is all the stuff currently coming out just a hold over from a few years ago? And a second btw...I'm probably the only one on the planet but I actually liked Pirates 3 better than Pirates 2...if for no other reason that they mixed the sound so that you could actually here the dialogue in World's End...also there were some fantastic visuals...the ship and the reflection, the multiple personalities of Jack...good stuff. Anywho...SETH ROGEN FOR LONE RANGER!
-
Can Disney not fathom how superior The Incredibles is over Cars?
-
Which is Disney's romantic comedy big gun for '09 with Josh Duhamel and Kristen Bell?
-
...in glorious quicktime?
-
then i am expecting a much better bootleg version very soon.

Th4ts fucki6 ann0y1n6.

..Tonto: Done! Johnny Depp as The Lone Ranger: Done! Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter: Done! Johnny Depp as The Mad Ranger: Done! Johnny Depp as The Lone Hatter: Done! Johnny Depp as Johnny Depp in Tyler Perry's Being John Malkovich: Done!
-
..Johnny Cash: Done! Johnny Depp as Johnny Winter: Done! Johnny Depp as Joni Mitchel: Done! Johnny Depp as Kel Mitchel in "Good Burger 2": Done!
-
Done...Seth Rogen as Thor...Done, Seth Rogen as Robin...Done...Seth Rogen Wonder Woman...done...Seth Rogen as the entire Justice League..done...wow look, all of the casting issues for the next four years are solved...and the way he's going now, Seth could probably juggle them
-
Dance! Dance!
-
that Depp is in debt or something?<p>I agree it's a little weird to have him play Tonto. I mean, the TV series from the 1950s actually managed to have a real Native American guy playing Tonto! Well, he was just called an "Indian" back then, but you know what I mean.<p>And finally... Wild Hogs 2: Bachelor Ride? Ignoring the quality of such a film, does that title imply it's like a bachelor party? Isn't the youngest guy in the group like 45 years old? Not that older folks can't get married, but that's just weird.
-
sugar rush.
-
Johnny Depp does have that island to pay off. <P> I can't see Depp playing Tonto straight. Maybe he falls off his horse a lot or something. And gets chased by a lot of white men and he runs away screaming.
-
Seriously the world would be a better place if 90% of these movies never see the light of day. And that crowd is one WILD group. I got a headache just reading this sycophantic article.

I loved National Treasure. National Treasure 2 was "ok"
by Cotton McKnight
I hope they get back on track for the third one.
-
Any other Ranger version I know of keeps him a serious character. And these days I can't imagine Hollywood turning a Native American character into anything silly. If anything, the Ranger will be the comic relief. I wonder who the star will be. I mean, you can't have Tonto be the bigger star, can you?
-
Away.
-
makes me want to shoot myself in the face. Okay, maybe Tron 2 and Prince of Persia, but the rest? It made me feel as if I was in an alternative universe where every day is oppisite day. Actually, that's Hollywood in general, isn't it? That movie you'd rather have butt-sex with your dad at gunpoint than watch 5 seconds of staring ab unch of has-beens on motorcycles? Well, now we have a sequel! That actor whose career has been deader than Elvis for 10 years? Well now here's another starring vehicle for him! The twist? Well, we wouldn't want him to assrape just one Christmas classic, so now he's got two under his belt! And suprise, suprise! Johnny Depp is back, baby! I know, I know, It's been too long since his last screen appearence, but this time the shocker is that he's in a Tim Burton movie! And speaking of Johnny Depp, you know that one movie he was in that was so popular we just had to drive it into the ground? Well, now there's a fourth movie in the trilogy!I know, I know. Such a feat has never been attempted before! But if we learned anything in Hollywood, it's that people can't get enough shitty sequels to good movies! On a serious note, I do like Depp and everything, and I know he's half Cherokee, but that casting still smacks of... well, not racism, but...something. Something that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Opportunism, perhaps? I don't know.
-
Could work as long as the dullest couple in cinema history play no role at all in it, but Geoffrey Rush does.
-
Check with John and Brad about that. If they had a truly worthy story then they might make it. The main problem of its sequal is that the plot of the original goes solved all the problems that made it so charming. If you want a sequal though, there was a "rise of the underminer" game that came out after its release. Pirates sounds interesting(its great when you view it as a fantasy tale), but its one of those movies where they would have to introduce something and solve it within two to three hours(wasn't the fountain of youth what Sparrow was going after at the end?).
-
Doc Hollywood didn't have a sequel, so what other Michael J Fox movie are they going to steal from to make Cars 2? Pleasepleaseplease let it be an anthropomorphic Midnight Madness or High School USA!
-
Yeah, they should have a big name for the Lone Ranger. A Brad Pitt or Seth Rogen, yeah.
-
High School USA YEAH! That definitely needs a sequel, remake, reboot- anything! But they definitely have to keep in the robot Willis makes to pull down Goose's pants!
-
Without being there in person, it's even more difficult to know what they intend. But it sounds (to me) as though they want Depp for the Lone Ranger, not Tonto. Either way, as talented as Depp may be, I wouldn't hire him for either part.
-
That's what I'm wondering.
-
And I'll be happy. The Princess and the Frog will hopefully not suck, and kick start 2D animated films again. I hope Rapunzel maintains that cool art/painting look it had, because that was pretty neat. I hope King of the Elves is awsome. Don't give a shit about Pirates 4 to be honest. First one was awesome and completely caught me of guard, but 2 & 3 were complete bags of stirred up shit that was just tossed out at the audience. Wild Hogs and National Treasure movies need to stop. I hope Ben Kingsly is awesome in Prince of Persia, and why am I not surprised that Depp is in Burton's film? Also, who cares about a Cars 2? Disney does, that's who. Cars was like one of their films in recent memory that sold like a SHIT LOAD of merchandise, so they've probably been pushing Pixar to make a sequel.
-
Tonto SHOULD be (and look) American Indian. And Depp doesn't (quite) have the physical presence for the Lone Ranger. I like Depp fine. But he's just wrong for these characers, I feel.
-
characters
-
that roam around Disneyland, because I find it hard to believe Depp would be able to walk onstage with the cryogenic arm of Walt Disney jammed squarely up his ass.
-
IESB made the same mistake as well, thinking Depp was for the LR (because of the way it was presented). But apparently Disney contacted IESB to say Depp has signed for Tonto. And rumours are the Pirates director (Gore Verbinski) and writers (Rossio, Elliot) are also involved.
-
shit shit shit ahit shit that all sounds horrible more national treasure like the 2nd was and good. more pirates? like 2 &3 were any good wild hogs? shit shit shit shit shit tonto lone ranger? shit shit shit
-
Why not The Incredibles 2 instead?
-
Depp likes being Jack Sparrow. He wishes he were Jack Sparrow. He'll be doing Disneyland Dinner Theatre as Jack Sparrow later in life and possibly even the ride.
-
The literal translation of Tonto in spanish is Dumb. Of coursem here in Mexico, in the TV series which are translated (not subtitled) they changed the name of Tonto to Toro (Bull). But in movies we usually only get subtitles so it will be funny to hear Depp being called Dumb (Tonto).
-
I admit, that with Depp's great talent and a wonderful script, they could REALLY knock it out of the park (as did "IRON MAN"). I can actually imagine Depp in an almost...Val Kilmer/Doc Holiday ("TOMBSTONE") kind of way, showing that gunslinger side with a touch of humor (perhaps with a sadistic pinch). In that way, I can already feel goosebumps in this project's potential. --Since I sounded so negative on Depp being the Lone Ranger (especially as Tonto), I felt a need to be more clear. I guess, sometimes, one must be able to bend...and for this project, it might be worth it.
-
Also Burton doing Alice, let the guy go nuts with his vision.
-
Depp can overdub all his dialogue. Crap, I'm old.
-
Sorry but At Worlds End left me cold. This is Disney, folks, they guy and the girl are supposed to be together in the end. I have enough reality in my life as it is. I don't want to see that at the movies. National Treasure 3 could be cool but they have to bring back Diane Kruger. The ending of NT2 was kind of meh. Just keep the scope and the on-location filming.
-
It was epic and intense. It also employed something you don't see much of anymore - STORY.
-
I'm sensing a Jack vs. Barbossa type dealio, since both Johnny and Geoffrey seem open to another installment and Keira said NO WAY.<p> I don't remember what Orlando said, but I think it was a bunch of mumbles and remind us that he's banging Miranda Kerr.
-
Still better than Indiana Jones and has more rewatchability than most things released this year...<p> The chief problem was that it was too complicated. Which, apparently, is a problem for idiots. If you couldn't follow the Pirates films, you aren't intelligent, in the least.<p> Only part I didn't like was the realization of the Tia Dalma character arc. Methinks something that huge would have sunk the ship... But at least it did give way for the best STD-related joke in cinema history!
-
I really fucking wish SOMEONE would have the balls to come up with something original. Reading this shit sent shivers up my spine. National Treasue 3? Wild Hogs 2? Cars 2? Pirates 4? Tron 2? Hannah Montana Movie? Lone Ranger? Witch Mountain? High School Musical 3? Sorcerers Apprentice? A Christmas Carol? Prince of Persia? NONE OF THESE ARE ORIGINAL!! Most of these will be shit! The only one I'm interested in seeing is A Christmas Carol because Zemeckis is genius.
-
All of its plot elements get resolved -- it's just that there are way to many of them for a single movie. For first time watchers I'd recommend watching the movie with a break halfway through.
-
There is a resolution to Will and Elizabeht's story there. Some debate where the story goes after that, but I think it's a happy ending.
-
I guess there are no Native American actors out there looking for work. I like Depp, but come on.
-
Assuming the dog will swear at least at much as Eddie Murphy did in the original Beverly Hills Cop, this is a film I would like very much to see.<p>A cray, loose cannon, ridiculously small dog on the edge, with a foul mouth and an in-your-face attitude to match? Who wouldn't want to watch that?<p>There is nothing that tiny dog wouldn't do to avenge the death of his partner!
-
From Windtalkers and Flags of our Fathers. Good actor.
-
Cept maybee Tron 2 Neon Boogaloo but that'll likely be shite too!
-
...IF they cash in on the opportunity served up in the lousy second installment to have the group sign on as the President's private treasure hunting team. That idea had a lot of potential. The first NT was fun and had at least an ounce of internal logic, but other than the scenes with the President, the second NT was just overstuffed nonsense without the first movie's sense of fun. Unlike most series that decline, I think this one can be salvaged.
-
Why aren't they making this? The Incredibles is movie PLEADING for a sequel. I'm a Pixar fan and Cars was they ONLY time I've ever been disappointed with one of their movies. Brad Bird's genius.
-
...not only Tonto means dumb in spanish but also "Depp" actually means "fool" in german language. Guess that makes Johnny a dumb fool then.....I pity him.
-
While I can understand why a lot of people hated Pirates 2 and 3, I actually enjoyed them and, while they were largely unnecessary because PotC really didn't need to be a franchise, felt they wrapped things up nicely, ending the story of those characters is a perfectly bittersweet note. As such, I really don't want another movie - UNLESS they completely cut Bloom and Knightley, opting to take Depp and go in a different direction with different supporting characters (yeah, I know, Sparrow was actually the supporting character) and tell an altogether different and separate story. Because the Turner/Swann story was told, and told beautifully, and it's finished. We don't need anything more. And I really don't want to see that fucked up by further milking of the cow. They want to continue the adventures of Sparrow and Barbossa? Fine. I might even check that out, because I love Geoffrey Rush. But if it's going to be the whole cast going for another round, then count me right the hell out.

Didn't they say everything they needed to in Wild Hogs 1?
by Jor-El23
-
Car Toys are selling like crazy. It all about the money
-
Keira specifically said that she would not come back for a fourth, which would most likely ring true for Orlando Bloom as well.<p> So, yeah, if Pirates 4 were to happen, it WOULD be a Sparrow/Barbossa movie (something that the fans TRULY want).
-
... in which Luke Cage goes on a quest for the legendary Magical Morphing Hairpiece of Grover Cleveland.
-
... they probably intend to go in the direction of action-comedy wherein Tonto will be the intelligent Native American who has to train some dumb-ass, drunken cowboy to pose as the "hero" whilst it's Tonto who's the real hero. Sort of a Remington Steele of the old west thing. The suits'll think this idea is "edgy". Ya... whatever.
-
In glorious fuckin' quicktime?!? We need that damn trailer already. What the hell?
-
Ever stop to think that you believe reality to be so miserable because Hollywood's been stuffing your head full of propagandistic crap all your life? "The boy and girl always end up together"? Wotta load. Shit, only about 10 percent of the total population is even dateable. Fact of life. The fit pass on their genes, the unfit go extinct... that's just the way life is. (And yes, I readily admit to being in that remaining 90%... at least I know it, go on with my life and don't waste time mooning and whining about being "lonely") You've really been quaffing the Kool-Aid, yes? Wake up, life sucks... deal! That said, yeah, Pirates 2 and 3 blew chunks!
-
Ha. I read it like that originally in the article above and thoguht, "What the fuck? Isn't it a little late to capitalize on the Harry Potter concept? And merging it with a Nic Cage film? Is Jon Voight going to face off against Dumbledore? How much cash do they have to dump on Cage to get him to wear that pointy sorceror's hat with stars?" <p> THen I realized what they meant and was (1) even less interested and (2) perturbed I had given it that much thought to begin with.
-
I envision he could play Captain Jack's brother. I think Brand and Depp would play off each other really well by trying to steal each scene. When I saw him in Sarah Marshall, I instantly thought he'd make for a great pirate. Make this happen.
-
I hope an animatronic Depp doesn't get put into the Alice in WOnderland dark ride like they did in the Pirates ride. <p. I mean, realistically, I don't see why they would, but it wouldn't be the first time Disney has made a stupid decision.
-
That really should work!
-
The Tron 2 movie has to have Wendy Carlos return as composer. It's as key as bringing back Bridges, Boxleitner, and hopefully David Warner.
-
Do we really *need* a sequel to Cars?
-
I absolutely agree with you. Wendy rules.
-
aka Trucks. Homicidal cars murdering the public. It will be great to catch all the kids and parents off guard with a random scene where little timmy gets his head repeatedly slammed inside a cardoor and then dragged up I-95 until he's a bloody pulpy mess.<p><p> Wild Hogs 2 should be about homicidal murdercycles with crazed swine riding around murdering people and turning humans into bacon, sausage, and other dishes that we usually make pigs into.<p><p> MAKE THIS HAPPEN HOLLYWOOD
-
Besides lame sequels announcements? Do we really need Wild hogs 2? National Treasure 3? Come on guys. YOu can do better than that.

"the guy and the girl are supposed to be together in the end"??
by I Dunno
Who said that? In a site for movie geeks? Get him out of here. <p> Now that he's gone, I could stomach more Pirate movies but they have to find new protagonists. Make Jack Sparrow the supposed background character like in the first film, the catalyst who makes everything happen to the boring leads, except the boring leads are actually a reverse-MacGuffin for whatever antics Sparrow and Barbosa are up to. I'm thinking Anne Hathaway and some random dude as the couple. </p>
-
Why the hell make sequels to films NO ONE WANTS?! Unless Macy has that same kind of dry delivery like he had in the first one, I don't think I'll be seeing it.
-
Whaa? Doesn't anyone here have any interest in G-Force? Bruckheimer's commando Guinea Pigs, dude. Should be exploderiffic.
-
Sweet.
-
especially National Treasure and Pirates...these should be like Bond with a new film out ever 2 or 3 yrs.... Tron2- about fucking time....Wild Hogs2- sure in was modestly successful but is there really a demand for a second????,
-
Yeah the first one was cheesey. Yeah it wasn't a block buster. I liked it's message. Let's ride again.
-
I repeat: DO NOT FUCK THAT PROJECT UP! I dare you, I double dare you, mofos!
-
time to change into a new pair of pants. the experience must have been most splendid. Disney just makes it happen, I like that.
-
As in "Battle of the Planets"??
-
I know that Imagi's doing a 3D Gatchaman movie, so clearly that's not waht this G-Force is about. What the hell is it?
