I Am Link

.
--- Falling Skies - Even though it's only a teaser for a trailer, and we all hate those, I'm so excited about seeing footage from Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity (with George Clooney and Sandra Bullock trapped in space) that I've already watched this little bit of snippets of barely anything ten times. I want to book my seat at the IMAX theater right this second, oh my god, this looks amazing only the word "amazing" has 30-40 a's on the front, you know? All them a's. And Slash has the first poster.

--- Nublar Or Bust - Oh noes, they've put Jurassic Park 4 on hold! Apparently the studio wants it to be even more epic than what the filmmakers have planned, which sounds like a lame cover story to me. Let's hope this gets sorted out - I needs my dino-fix.

--- So Many Stars - Sarah Gadon better watch her tail, there's a new pretty blonde young thing slinking into Cronenbergsville - Mia Wasikowska has just joined the cast of Maps to the Stars, David Cronenberg's new flick! Julianne Moore, Robert Pattinson and John Cusack are already attached, as well as the aforementioned Gadon. Even better, Olivia Williams is also now on-board! This thing! My goodness.

--- Live To Serve - I haven't watched this one yet but here's the trailer for Lee Daniels' follow-up to The Paperboy called The Butler, which is about a dude who worked at the White House for three and a half decades more or less and came into contact with a starry bunch of stars, apparently. Hopefully there'll be room for at least a little bit of Zac Efron in his underpants again. Just splice in some unused footage, lee. I know you have tons.

--- Sun Maker - Ooh boy, this thing just leapt from "Meh, maybe" territory right up to must-see - Veronica Cartwright, star of Alien and Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Birds and all-around MNPP fave, has just joined the cast of the remake of The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Hells yeah.

--- Big Mike - Here's a new promo for the Stephen King tv miniseries Under the Dome - is it just me or does Mike Vogel look stragely padded in that first shot of him? I mean in a fat-suit sort of way, not like a bulging crotch sort of way, unfortunately. It's probably just the weird angle, anyway.

--- Sea Mates - Benjamin Walker is in talks to star opposite Chris Hemsworth in Heart of the Sea, which is about a ship that gets tore up by a whale and the survive to struggle (cannibalism, ho) after that. Who would you rather eat - Hemsworth or Walker? Personally, I'd say that I have room for both.

--- And finally over at The Film Experience here is our collective list of The Ten Greatest Best Actress Oscar Losers. From the three hundred plus women who have lost the statue, we were told to choose our top ten, ranked from one to bottom - there be the fruits of our collective hive brain. I'm going to have more to say about this when I get a chance, probably most likely including my own personal list, so stay tuned.
