The Angry Bear

As confusing as it may sound, producer Ridley Scott and Director Kevin Macdonald (Last King of Scotland) have decided to team up and create something that has never been thought of or attempted before: a film created entirely by Youtube clips of the populace.

It will work like this: on July 24th the duo will take clips that will be uploaded at that time and picking-and-choosing what they want to use from the list. This will create a unique and expessive outlook on the world and make “the first user-generated documentary” ever. Not only that, the film wil also become something of a “global time capsule” of international events and feelings – as long as “Charlie the Unicorn” doesn’t show up.

Among the clips, there will be 20 selected co-directors included in the credits and they will be flown into the Park City for the unveiling of the film at Sundance Film Fest next year. You know, as much as the idea of a film like this really is interesting, the thought that it’s almost impossible to get a coherent storyline with a bunch of random clips occurs. Yes, there may be some little nuggets of happiness in there, but otherwise it will be hard. Granted, with the San Diego Comi-con that day…

After a hectic and long-awaited search, the wait is finally over for our Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield of movies such as Boy A, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and The Social Network will become the next star for Mark Webb’s 3D reboot. The British actor, being the least known on the list, was considered the most talented in Webb’s eye.

“Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor’s work understand his extraordinary talents. He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity.”

Among the list of possibles were Jamie Bell, Aaron Johnson, Anton Yelchin, Frank Dillane, Josh Hutcherson, and Alden Ehrenreich. Below is a collective montage of his films to give you an idea of what he can do, along with the some of the press release, explaining what is going on. (more…)

I’m going to try something a little different and I’m going to do it with this one in particular, because it’s both goofy and ridiculous enough that it will keep your attention. Plus, I’ve covered A very Harold and Kumar Christmas once or twice, so I might as well follow it till the end. But I was able to get the plot synopsis from Kingsgate, so I can share it with you people. So on to the Neil Patrick Harris-ness of it all. (more…)
