Ferrell, Neeson Join LEGO Movie

♦ by Unknown Wednesday, 14 November 2012 Friday, 9 November 2012 Thursday, 8 November 2012 Wednesday, 7 November 2012 Monday, 5 November 2012 0 comments

Add Will Ferrell, Liam Neeson, Nick Offerman and Alison Brie to Warner Bros.' LEGO movie. The actors join Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett and Morgan Freeman in the latest marriage of toy and film. They predicted this in Cahiers du Cinéma, right?

Deadline reports that Ferrell will voice the chief baddie in the film, President Business, while Neeson will be the president’s henchman, Bad Cop. Offerman is to play a pirate and Brie will be a member of Pratt's hero character's questing team who has "a powerful secret." Phil Lord and Chris Miller (21 Jump Street) are writing and directing for a February 7, 2014, release.

I think it's a shame that Ferrell isn't playing a LEGO version of Buddy the Elf and Neeson a LEGO Ra's al Ghul. Hey, they're both Warner Bros. characters, so why not?!

We couldn't find a picture of Buddy the Elf making LEGOs, but you get the idea.

Warner Bros. Sues Over Hobbit Mockbuster

♦ by Unknown Wednesday, 14 November 2012 Friday, 9 November 2012 Thursday, 8 November 2012 Wednesday, 7 November 2012 Monday, 5 November 2012 0 comments

Warner Bros. has sued notorious mockbuster production company The Asylum over their upcoming release Age of the Hobbits, claiming its trying to knock off Warners' forthcoming The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. (Age of the Hobbits opens December 11, three days ahead of The Hobbit's debut.)

Here's part of the studio's filed complaint, via The Hollywood Reporter: "The Asylum has been and is promoting and advertising its low-budget film using the confusingly similar and misleading title Age of the Hobbits, in an intentional and willful attempt (i) to trade on the popularity and goodwill associated with the Tolkien novels, the extraordinarily successful Lord of The Rings film trilogy, and the famous HOBBIT mark, (ii) to free-ride on the worldwide advertising campaign in connection with the forthcoming Hobbit films, and (iii) to divert customers and potential customers away from the Hobbit films."

The Asylum recently told THR, "Age of the Hobbits is about the real-life human subspecies, Homo Floresiensis, discovered in 2003 in Indonesia, which have been uniformly referred to as 'Hobbits' in the scientific community. ... As such, the use of the term 'Hobbits' is protected under the legal doctrines of nominal and traditional fair use. Indeed, a simple Google search of Hobbits and archaeology reveals dozens of articles containing the term "Hobbit(s)" in the title."

The lord of the jungle will return to the big screen courtesy of Warner Bros.

Harry Potter veteran David Yates committed to directing Tarzan on Monday, according to Vulture.

"Yates is meeting with up-and-coming actors like Man of Steel's Henry Cavill, Pacific Rim headliner Charlie Hunnam, and True Blood's Alexander Skarsgård," Vulture reports. "We also hear that the studio is keen to get a meeting with Tom Hardy, who has put in his time on Warner Bros. blockbusters like The Dark Knight Rises and Inception, but less clear is whether Hardy shares the studio’s enthusiasm for that part."

Warner Bros Confirms Mortal Kombat Movie Reboot

♦ by Unknown Wednesday, 14 November 2012 Friday, 9 November 2012 Thursday, 8 November 2012 Wednesday, 7 November 2012 Monday, 5 November 2012 0 comments

Warner Bros. has revealed some new details about the Mortal Kombat movie reboot, suggesting that the new adaptation is already in production.

According to WorstPreviews, Warner Bros executive Lance Sloan confirmed that the film was being developed, as well as its director and budget.

“

We're preparing right now for the film with Kevin Tancharoen, [who] directed the digital series for us. He's at the helm of the forty, fifty million dollar film.

“We're preparing right now for the film with Kevin Tancharoen, [who] directed the digital series for us," said Sloan. "He's at the helm of the forty, fifty million dollar film."

The series he's referring to is Mortal Kombat: Legacy, which debuted on YouTube in April 2011. Aside from this, Tancharoen's other directorial efforts include the remake of Fame, Glee: The 3D Concert Movie and The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll. Sooo....yeah. Fingers crossed that he draws on resources from Legacy rather than his earlier batch of work when making the movie?

In terms of the proposed plot for the reboot, nothing has been confirmed, but rumours are swirling it'll follow a supermarket employee who discovers he has otherworldly powers and must make the ultimate choice between fighting for the side of good or evil.

The original Mortal Kombat film appeared in 1995 and was directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. This in turn spawned a sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation in 1997, which performed poorly at the box office in comparison to its predecessor. As a result a planned third film, Mortal Kombat: Devastation, was shelved indefinitely until Warner Bros. picked up the rights to Midway's assets in 2009 following the game studio going bankrupt.

Luke Karmali is IGN's UK Editorial Assistant and Mortal Kombat fanatic. You too can revel in mediocrity by following him on IGN and on Twitter.
