Oh boy, here we go. Bloody-Disgusting has learned that Warner Bros (and New Line Cinema) have retitled, or rather just titled, the fifth new Final Destination movie as 5NAL DESTINATION.

Time to get excited about next summer (even though we’re not even done with this summer)!

In fact, Cameron is already preparing a new underwater 3-D drama called Sanctum, which you may have heard about. Not only is it a more intimate and much smaller [...]

Aw man! I guess it was inevitable that we’d hear sooner or later about every MGM movie in production. The Playlist found a mention in a Hollywood Reporter article today about MGM’s search for a new CEO stating that another highly anticipated MGM movie may be shelved for the time being. This time it’s Joss [...]

File this under obvious. MTV recently talked with director Zack Snyder about his upcoming action movie Sucker Punch (that we’ll be get a look at during Comic-Con).

For over a year now, I’ve been referring to one quote from James Cameron over and over in the many articles I’ve written about 3D.

Here we go, welcome to the world after Avatar has made over $2 billion.

Yes, I’m being sarcastic. Honestly, I’m surprised there was no 3D talk for Iron Man 2, but that’s besides the point (and there was some talk anyway).

Despite the push by manufacturers, a new survey shows that the 70 percent of Japanese are not planning to purchase a 3D TV for their homes.

3D movies have actually been around a lot longer than widescreen ones. Almost as soon as the early still cameras were invented, it was realised that they could easily be adapted to produce a stereoscopic image. Indeed, as early as 1856, J. C. d’Almeida gave a demonstration at the Academie des Sciences in which two [...]

I’ve been looking forward to Despicable Me for a while; having seen trailers, the 3D animated film out of Universal looked like it had the potential to be a lot of fun.

“Avatar.” “Alice in Wonderland.” “How To Train Your Dragon.” The success of these latest big budget 3-D epics wouldn’t have been possible if not for the groundwork laid by previous filmmakers decades earlier, during a time when 3-D filmmaking was considerably less sophisticated than the material currently seen in movie theaters. Many of these movies, [...]

Shrek 3D is here. The story of  the lovable Ogre reflects what is going on with 3D today. When we first saw the new 3D, people loved it. But now, as with the storyline in Shrek, what we thought was wonderful, now seems mundane, even boring.  As in the story, if we really look at what we [...]

Live action is much more difficult [...]
