Paid Members Snake Plissken Posted June 19, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2012 I think the more worrying part about it, is that the cost will be passed on via ticket prices ala 3D & D-Box. On average 3D is an extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheman Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Jim Carey quits Dumb and Dumber 2  Paul Verhoyven to make controverstial movie about Jesus Christ  EXCLUSIVE: As Darren Aronofsky’s Noah gets ready to set sail and iconic directors Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg forge ahead with epics about Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt, faithful Biblical epics are flourishing in Hollywood. It looks like there is even room for one that takes the most controversial look at the life of Jesus Christ since Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation Of Christ. I’m told that Muse Productions’ Chris Hanley, whose credits include American Psycho, has stepped up to finance development of a film about Christ. It will be based on Jesus Of Nazareth, a book that director Paul Verhoeven co-wrote after immersing himself in the history and researching the subject for nearly two decades. Verhoeven plans to direct the film, which will be written by Roger Avary. Avary shared the Academy Award for Best Original Script with Quentin Tarantino for Pulp Fiction. Verhoeven’s take on the life of Jesus Christ discounts all the miracles that inform the New Testament. That includes the immaculate conception and the resurrection. Verhoeven doesn’t believe any of them happened. I wrote about Verhoeven’s ambitions in spring 2011, as he and his reps at ICM first tried to find funding — no small feat given some of the theories he put forth in the book.The most controversial: that Jesus might have been the product of his mother being raped by a Roman soldier, which Verhoeven said was commonplace at the time, and that Jesus was a radical prophet who performed exorcisms and was convinced he would find the kingdom of Heaven on earth, and did not know he would be sentenced to die on the cross by Pontius Pilate. That, and the discounting of the miracles that pepper the New Testament, has made this a daunting project to set up. But while Verhoeven’s film credits include Showgirls (as well as hits like Robocop, Total Recall and Basic Instinct), he isn’t trying to tantalize here. He is fixated on Christ not for the miracles depicted in the blockbuster film The Passion Of The Christ, but rather in the enduring power of the message Christ preached which has kept him first and foremost in the minds of Christians for 2000 years. Verhoeven feels too many take Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins as a free pass to misbehave, because they think they don’t have to take responsibility for their actions. He feels that the value of Christ’s journey is the opportunity to emulate his life and the values he held dear, like forgiveness. “If you look at the man, it’s clear you have a person who was completely innovative in the field of ethics,” Verhoeven told me last year. “My own passion for Jesus came when I started to realize that. It’s not about miracles, it’s about a new set of ethics, an openness towards the world, which was anathema in a Roman-dominated world. I believe he was crucified because they felt that politically, he was a dangerous person whose following was getting bigger and bigger. Jesus’ ideals are about the utopia of human behavior, about how we should treat each other, how we should step into the shoes of our enemy.” Edited June 20, 2012 by iamtheman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patiirc Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Judge Dredd (2012) 3D Trailer  Hmm trailer is cut as if though the film is going to be 'The Raid' like. Other than that it has a 'District 9' look about it. Cant say I'am wildly impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trailer doesn't do much for me.but I'm intrigued purely because its Dredd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Foale Posted June 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Jim Carey quits Dumb and Dumber 2 Oh bollocks I was really excited for this. Â Taken 2 - I know they're two completely different genres but that trailer just screams 'Hangover 2' to me, in that it looks much the same as the first but is unlikely to be as good.

Paid Members Lefty Posted June 22, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 22, 2012 Paul Verhoyven to make controverstial movie about Jesus Christ  He already made a movie about christ, I believe it was called Robocop.  In all seriousness though this will probably never see the light of day, its far too controversial for certain religious groups to deal with. I'm personally not interested at all in biblical epics, this Noah film is the first time Aronofsky has brought anything out that I've not had any interest in.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted June 22, 2012 Moderators Share Posted June 22, 2012 There is a new scene from the Spider Man film floating about online. don't have a link just now but look for "Spider Man car thief" and you should find it. Â It looks great, I'm really excited to possibly finally see a good Spiderman movie. Â Also, that Judge Dredd trailer looked alright, and Taken 2 looks sweet as!

Loki Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Disappointed that the dialogue in that Taken 2 trailer is such a carbon-copy of the original, it feels incredibly forced. The original worked because it was stripped down and un-Hollywood, but once you're referencing yourself like that it leeches the originality.
