Ok i've only been home about 5 days and i'm already a tiny bit bored :P I've already done an essay and a half and i cant do the other half until i can get to the university library so i'm giving up on that cos i'm a good student =D Anyway so thought i better get back to this old thing to give me something to do. And tbf theres only one place i can really start and thats with two pretty impressive trailers that have been released in the past few days. So Cronilogical order then shall we:
The Dark Knight Rises
Director Christopher Nolan
Possibily the most annticpated film of the year finally has a full trailer! Theres barely anywhere movie related you can't go at the moment without hereing about Nolan's final installment in his Batman series and although it won't be the end of Batman it feels like Christian Bale's Batman is going out with a bang. The main selling pint of this film has to be the amazing cast that Nolan has put toghether, combianing stars of his series (Bale, Caine, Oldman and Freeman) with what seems to be half his Ineption cast (Hardy, Gordon-Levitt and Cotillard) plus Anne Hathaway. It seems a winning combination that should hopefully pay off and be a suitable follow up to possibly the greatest superhero film of all time. For me the most intrigging (terrible spelling i no) is Gordon-Levitts involvment which seems from the trailer to be minimal but nothing is ever as it seems in Nolan's films and there might be alot more in store in terms of suprises.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Director Peter Jackson
Now from the very first moments of this trailer i was immediatly taken back to my childhood. I was 9 when the first Lord of the Rings film was released and from the looks of the trailer nothing much has changed in terms of the landscape and beuaty provided by the New Zeland shoot. In many ways the polar opposite of the marketing campaign then Dark Kinght Rises with bearly any infomation leaked and little known about what the film will entale (unless you've read the book). Jackson seems to have stuck with his LotR's casting method by not casting massive stars for the roles but has rather taken two of British TV for the two major new casting additions, Martin Freeman as a younger version of Ian Holm's Bilbo (although its nice to see older Bilbo back again) and Richard Armatage as the drawf Thorin. The rest of the cast follow similar previous roles but it will also be nice to see some of the orgional cast back with Holm, Elijah Wood, Cate Blancett, Oralndo Bloom, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving and of course Sir Ian McKellen reprising their roles from the first 3 films. And as the trailer showed we also get to meet Andy Serkis as Gollum again. Something tells me this may be the film of 2011 or at least one of the top 3!!
