Rick Baker, An American Werewolf In London, has signed a deal to create the makeup effects for 2008's The Wolfman, to be directed by Mark Romanek and star Benicio Del Toro. Since AICN and other sites won't mention it, I will.

The character who "bites it" makes sense...
by cdubbs727
May 22nd, 2007
11:41:30 AM
Saw this film at a press screening yesterday, but I'm going to respect the embargo and not mention that it should be called "Pirates of the Caribbean: What the hell just happened?". But I will say that all the confusion to the character who "bites it" but shows up afterward will make sense once you see the movie. Death doesn't necessarilly mean the end of existence in this universe. And I know he mentioned that a rock is not a rock...but that portion of the movie is so confusing that I don't know what the rock WAS.

I don't mind spoilers in a review if I'm looking to see if a movie's good or bad or some intelligent criticism. But I started reading this shit and all it is is a synopsis. Any insight? Opinion?

I really don't get where all the hatred for these movies comes from. In fact, I'm having a hard time figuring out why everybody on this site (and not just this site; but the online community as a whole) keeps getting enthusiastic about a film, only to start wrecking it as it approaches a release date. It baffles me much-loved films like Lord of the Rings are now seen as tripe and Jackson as a hack. It must be some defect in the minds of many mortals. One day you like something, the other day you hate it because that somehow makes you "cool"? I don't get that and never will. What cynical times we live in! All I'm saying is this; we all hold our movies dear to our heart but I'm pretty fuckin' sure that if Raiders was released today - the same movie that was released back in the eighties; without adjustments - you people would bitch and moan about flaws and shit as well. "How exactly did Indy get so fast to the submarine and how did he hide himself in the sub approaching the Nazi base?". Nobody seems to remember or care about this. Has nostalgia clouded our collective memory or do we somehow give those movies way more credit? I'm not saying Raiders is a bad film; hell no. I think it's the perfect, if not the ultimate blockbuster. But to hail those movies and blame their modern-time counterparts is foolish. Look, everybody who says that film is dead and there are no more good movies to be seen is full of shit. There are more movies made now than ever before and we have access to movies from across the globe... thing is; you have to be willing to seek them out sometimes and not just get hung up on some marketing campaign. That way you'll only see what the studios feed you and if you don't like any of that; well then off course you're gonna say film is dead! Having said that; I think the Pirates franchise is great. Perfect? No. But what is? I think it's an immensely spectacular, pulpy adventure yarn, I like the people involved and I like the way they've set up this world. Fuck it, I'm gonna say it; I prefer two to one. The first one was a pretty straightforward, fun yarn where the casting of Depp just happened to result in something fresh. If he hadn't been there, the flick could have vanished. Both two and three are written around the character and Depp's interpretation of him so they're bound to be a little different in tone. I like the way the writers and director took this story. I have nothing against sequels; I can still watch The Matrix and imagine my own "what happened next" and sometimes I even wanna re-watch what the Wachowski's cooked up. One can co-exist with the other. That whole "the sequels put a stain on the first one" crap doesn't mean anything to me. We don't have to take shit from Hollywood (then again, for all this so-called hatred these movies continue to make a gazillion dollars so who's watching them? Bitchers and moaners, that's who!), but I think we should cast our vicious eye toward the next Hiltonified slasher or Lohanesque rom-com before we assault geek-movies that give us visions and characters straight out of kid's stories; and I don't mean that in any bad way! Yo ho ho!!!

I hope Jack and Barbossa have an ACTUAL pissing contest because that's the kind of thing that needs to be in these movies. Pirates surely did that sort of thing. I'm a little disappointed that no Barbossa/Jack revenge duel happened (at least I assume it's not in the film, what with the synopsis basically spoiling everything).

I think it has less to do with Travers' ability to understand the film and more to do with the film failing to make him care enough to put forth the effort. After all, the second film, too, was needlessly complicated. This is what happens when you write a blockbuster around set-pieces and not character: shit stops making sense and you've gotta pull out stupid gimmicks to solve your problems (wait, the key the dog had was to some pirate book? uhh, wtf? that makes NO sense).
and even cooler news: EXTENDENDED DEATH PROOF
by future help
May 22nd, 2007
04:14:16 PM
FILM REVIEW from Cannes: (post this, Harry) Last night we sat down for perhaps our most anticipated movie of the festival, even though we'd (arguably) seen it before and read the full script before Christmas. That film was Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof, taken out of its cosy Grindhouse home and shown here in its full two-hour format, complete with a new French title: Boulevard De La Mort! After the debacle following the double bill's release in the US we must admit to feeling slightly nervous, after all, Cannes was where QT's rise to cult status started (with Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction), and we couldn't help feeling he was heading for a fall by insisting on a Competition slot, in the hope of securing a rare Palme D'Or double whammy. We needn't have worried. Those who saw the "Joseph Brenner & Associates" redux cut will see that all the scenes that seemed to be missing really do exist and have been slotted back in accordingly – principally with Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), the psycho fall guy who gets his kicks by running purty ladies off the road and into their graves. In its finished form, Death Proof still retains some of the Grindhouse trimmings: there are blips and scratches, and there's even an entire sequence in black and white, but far from being distracting, these details become integral to the atmosphere – Death Proof is a teasing film from back in the day but made now, causing a neat disjunction between the conventions of the story and the modernity of its characters (with the exception of Mike, of course, but we'll come to that later). Much has been made – here at least – of this being Tarantino's most linear film yet, which is true… ish. Death Proof is a film of two halves, but it's by no means a portmanteau. Half of the fun is in Tarantino's manipulation of our expectations; from the title alone and the lurid poster ("These 8 Women Are About To Meet 1 Diabolical Man!"), we're expecting something dark, so, Tarantino's own slasher-movie talk notwithstanding, its tempting to read this solely as a serial-killer flick. But like Jaws, Death Proof is a film about anticipation, and after a menacing Jack Nitzsche-scored credit sequence the film takes its time getting these girls done with. The flavour here is female, as Austin DJ Jungle Julia (Syndey Poitier) reunites her girl posse and celebrates her birthday with a night on the town. Mike is circling them but Tarantino takes his time, and the film really benefits from more time with Vanessa Ferlito as Arlene, the typical ‘last girl standing' from slasher lore. It's only Arlene that gets the measure of Mike's madness, but in true grindhouse style her gorgeous foreboding all but flies out of the window when the film suddenly lurches from horror pic to sleazerama, with a great barroom lap dance that leaves audiences and Mike alike grinning from ear to ear. We'll skip what Mike gets up to later: suffice to say that Mr Icy Hot is nice, not, but the real revelation of the new, long version is what happens in the second half. Although some of the controversial lengthy dialogue scenes remain untouched, Tarantino has reinstated scenes that introduce a second girl group and takes more time establishing Mike's interest in the new arrivals, which adds a whole new dynamic, like a purring engine, revving quietly while the director indulges his trademark love of dialogue. Two other elements have been added here: more screentime for Abernathy (Rosario Dawson) and, later, in the film's powerhouse home run, Kim (Tracie Thoms), with scenes that round out their characters so much, by the time they and their stuntgirl friend Zoe (Zoe Bell “as herself”) become a Switchblade Sisters/Truckstop Women-style rampage of revenge, the previously rushed transition suddenly seems scarily plausible. Full plaudits go here, of course, to Kurt Russell, who motors through the film with a deceptively subtle brilliance, portraying Mike as, alternately, a dope, nice guy, a washed-up hasbeen, a cool guy and a pussy – like Javier Bardem in the Coens' No Country For Old Men, this is about to become one of the definitive movie crazies. But however attached we get to Stuntman Mike, Tarantino's not allowing us to get too close, and with the final, euphoric ending he subverts the slasher-flick formula with a bravura climax that sent the Cannes audience whooping and clapping into the night. OK, one person booed, some older people moaned, and a woman from Turkey didn't get it AT ALL. But Death Proof is the film it set out to be, the film Tarantino had in his mind on the day we watched him shoot it. This is seriously entertaining American filmmaking in its prime and most definitely not the only-half-serious pastiche it could have been. There's no seatbelt, nor airbag, no nuthin', this is just Tarantino driving wildly under the influence. Just hang on and take the ride. cinema-online.org http://cinema-online.org

This is Pirate of the Caribbean, I want to see spectacular sea battles, buried treasure and dangerous ports-of-call, interspersed with the strange tropical mythology of the Caribbean.

A bit overboard with spoilers

I saw the spoiler warning, but did not expect to be given every plot detail all the way to the ending. There needs to be a new warning; "Complete Spoilage of Plot".

They would shoot his fucking toes off!

Empire have reviewed this film on their site. If you want a proper well written none spoiler review check it out. They go along with the whole 'plot is too cluttered' etc.

I thought this would happen. I just don't know why the writers don't learn to be conservitive when writing these films. Combine multiple plots into one, basicly streamline everything so the audience is constantly aware of each characers motivations and can therefore be behind them and enjoy the adventure.

I dissagree about Shrek though, I loved the 1st 2. Spidey 3 I still haven't seen. I prefer waiting till the hype in my head has died down and I can watch the film more objectively.

Travers is a populist, credibility seeking moron. who cares what he thinks. Rolling Stone is a music mag and that's what they should stick to
Thanks for the link, pjdon

From Empire's review, it sounds to be pretty much what I was expecting - a sporadically enjoyable mess, just like the last one. Still, I was glad to hear the monkey has a few good moments. He's my second favourite character.

How can you, in clear conscience, react as you did to the Lost debacle while consistantly posting reviews like this? I have no problem with the "review," but the hipocrisy is stunning. It certainly allows some debate for the editorial autonomy.
Why 'darker'? Why is 'darker' better?

Darker doesn't always equal better! 'Spider-Man 3' was 'darker' - and it was the worst one yet. 'Back to the Future 2' was the darkest - and worst - of the trilogy. DARKER DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN BETTER! Just cos it worked for 'Empire Strikes Back' and 'Revenge of the Sith' doesn't mean it will work for you.

Especially for this film. Can't we just carry on being light and funny? That's what I liked about the first one. I want more of Jack Sparrow's comical antics, and maybe the odd appearance by the monkey, but I don't want angst and tragedy and whatnot.

Was too long, too boring, and by the end I couldn't have cared less as to what happened to Jack or the monkey or whoever the fuck. Part three is darker? Good. That will bring sleep on nice and quick with a darker screen.
Shame on you, NightArrows

How can you not care what happens to the monkey? The monkey owns this trilogy like Marty McFly owns Back To The Future!

And losts of them...but she mutters something 1st, an incantation or something. How her weight didnt send her thru the middle of the boat or make it top heavy is clearly movie-magic...or poor thinking on the filmmakers. But she THEN turns into millions of crabs and they all go into the ocean...then comes the Maelstrom! Oh yeah, I saw it Tuesday nite. -ED

"The film starts with Lord Becketts army basically hanging any man, woman AND child who is, was or has been associated with pirates, it is chilling and morbid" . . . And that's why I won't be seeing this movie anytime soon. Why the fuck does Verbinski think I want to pay 10 plus to see children being hanged!?! It's a fucking 3 hour movie, cut the damn scene!!! Christ almighty, does anyone in Hollywood have a fucking brain?
this is a movie for kiddies

just like the first two...nothing wrong with that, but adults who love this should question a few things about themselves.
