Avatar 3D: Extended Cut To Be Released?
March 14, 2010
There’s talk of re-releasing Avatar but with an extended cut version of the highest grossing film to ever hit the screen this summer.
The extra footage is said to be around 10-12 minutes, which isn’t a lot, but any excuse to see Avatar in 3D again is good enough for me. Some of the extra scenes that could be added are Jake Sully’s avatar proving himself to the Na’vi and Tsu’tey getting drunk at a native festival.
To be honest, I don’t think it would be detrimental to the film for leaving these scenes out as I was amazed with Avatar both times that I saw it in all it’s 3D glory.

March 9, 2010
I mentioned last week that Disney were talking about a possible Tron trilogy, but only if the new Tron Legacy does well at the cinema.
Well following on from the back of that news, a new trailer has been released and I cannot wait to see this film. Looking at the original Tron trailer, you can see how dated it is, yet is still remains a classic. But Tron Legacy will be the way that Tron was meant to be seen, and the fact that we’ll be able to watch it in 3D is all the more exciting.

March 8, 2010
A new Iron Man 2 trailer is doing the rounds on the big WWW and it’s looking like it could be just as good, if not even better than the first. From what I saw, it looks like Tony Stark is lapping up his new found mega fame as Iron Man, but the US government aren’t best pleased and want Iron Man to be owned by the US Military.
A bit more is shown of Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash and of Iron Man and War Machine fighting together which does look pretty awesome! There’s also a new Iron Man suit this time around which looks like a portable suit of some kind that Tony Stark can carry around with him, but don’t worry, the red and gold suit is still there.

March 2, 2010
It’s not even out yet, but there’s already talk of a new Tron trilogy…….IF the upcoming ‘Tron: Legacy’ can make a huge sum of money at the box office.
Disney has said because of the hype that Tron: Legacy is starting to pick up, it’s likely that a trilogy will be on the cards. Following on from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is this a good thing? Pirates was amazing, but got worse as they went along (mainly because of Orlando Bloom’s and Kiera Knightleys god awful performances…in my opinion).
If it hadn’t been for one Johnny Depp, those films would have failed abysmally, no wonder they won’t be back, but Johnny Depp will return for a 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

March 2, 2010
Wolfman (15)
Cast: Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt
Director: Joe Johnston
Running Time: 102 minutes
I like most people have never seen the original 1941 film ‘The Wolf Man’, so despite being a remake this subtly reworded film (notice the one word rather than two!) this film pretty much had a clean slate – however much Universal tried to mess it up by taking years to make it, struggling to find a director and having numerous re-edits!
I’m also not a massive horror fan – that is not to say I don’t like them, rather I won’t go out of my way to watch them – so you can take my word with slightly more validity than a horror addict that this was in fact an enjoyable film despite the at best mediocre reviews it has been getting.

February 23, 2010
Bruce Willis has come out and let the world know that Die Hard 5 looks to be on the table. Whilst doing the press tour for his new film, John McClane himself said:
“I think we’re going to do a Die Hard 5 next year”
Personally I think that they should leave it alone. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed Die Hard 4.0, but I think they could end up ruining the franchise. I could be wrong and the fifth outing for John McClane could be the best yet but I’m sure this news will be getting mixed opinions amongst fans. Bruce Willis also said that he wants to take it worldwide instead of staying in the States.

February 18, 2010
If you haven’t already heard about it, there’s a new film coming out in the next few weeks called “The Crazies” – you may have already started seeing the trailer (if not then take a look at it below) in which a small Iowa town becomes poisoned and plagued by madness and death with only a group of four people left unaffected. This small group of people obviously need to get away from the town alive and before the military come in to “clean up” the problem.
So it’s your classic American survival horror flick, a re-make of the 1973 movie of the same name, although this new movie includes the original director (George A Romero) as a co-writer, so it will no doubt have some of the same influences as the 70s original. You can see The Crazies in your local cinema from the 26th February 2010.

February 13, 2010
This isn’t really a complete review as I’d normally write here on Zath as I’m sure everyone has already seen Toy Story 2. But as with my ‘review’ on Toy Story 3D, this is just a short post about seeing Toy Story 2 in 3D.
But just in case you haven’t seen it, Woody is kidnapped by a toy collector who wants to sell him and the rest of ‘Woody’s Roundup’ to a Japanese museum. It’s then up to Buzz & co. to find Woody and bring him home. We meet new characters including Barbie’s Mrs Potato Head and Buzz’s arch enemy, Emperor Zurg.

February 8, 2010
Bill Murray has finally confirmed that he will be in the Ghostbusters 3 movie……..as a ghost.
It could be what we’ve all been waiting for since Ghostbusters 2 was released back in 1989, or it could end up being a complete insult to what has become such a cult film.
But either way you look at it, Bill Murray will be reprising his role as Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters 3 along with the rest of the original actors. Now we all know what Bill Murray’s sense of humour is like so I’m only believing his quote 85%……………..well maybe 90%, because he could have said it just for a laugh!

February 2, 2010
The final season of Lost is now almost finally upon us and you might have seen in our recent Lost season 6 preview, the re-cap video we showed in that just goes to illustrate all the different twists and turns that this mysterious TV show has taken it in 5 years.
However, the one thing that everyone is hoping for is that they continue to give us answers…and by answers, we mean the big answers to some of the fundamental questions and mysteries on the show that have been there since the beginning…what is the smoke monster and what significance have the numbers got?
