Repo! vs. Repo

February 28, 2010 By

What happens when you have two films, two years apart, and the same premise for their story? Other than confusion, you may start to take sides. That’s exactly what is happening with the new film, Repo Men, and the 2008 film, Repo! The Genetic Opera. You have two films so close to each other, that the gloves may start to come of, and some may want to make their point known. Darren Bousman, director of Repo!, wants you to know your “history” before you start saying who came first.

Saturday Night Live Takes on We Are The World, Undercover Boss, and Olympics

February 28, 2010 By

Last night, Jennifer Lopez hosted and performed on Saturday Night Live, and she did a pretty good job in my opinion (at least as host). The show parodied the new “We Are the World” song by bringing awareness to how bad the song is. We also got a couple hilarious skits on the Olympics, as well as “Undercover Celebrity Boss”.

Now we know, thanks to a series of videos from the comedy writing/directing duo Warm Apple Cherries.

Tron Legacy: Trailer Shown At IMAX Event, Now What…

February 27, 2010 By

Well, the IMAX ‘exclusive limited event’  for Tron Legacy ended a few hours ago and MovieViral has received various reports about it. WHAT WE KNOW: We know that a trailer, about 2.5 minutes long, was shown to the fans who went to this event. From what we’ve heard, it’s a pretty awesome trailer. We’ve included some detailed descriptions after the jump. WHAT WE DON’T KNOW: We really have no idea what this accomplished in the ARG world.

February 25, 2010 By

As I briefly mentioned in my review of the film this morning, the premiere of The Crazies was an event like no other. Overture really went all out to get this audience pumped for the film, treating it like a military quarantine. I’ll explain the “crazy” night (my first premiere!) after the jump, and fortunately we have a press video of the event to help me.

Tron Legacy: Expect New Trailer Saturday?

February 25, 2010 By

UPDATE: The tickets on PitCell are now live, get yours!

It looks like you can expect a new Tron Legacy trailer Saturday on the FlynnLives website. As we reported yesterday, an exclusive limited even will be taking place in five locations all around the world. Well, now the /derez page which unlocked the first trailer a while back has been reset, and it’s asking for five new codes. It’s our guess that five codes will be given out at the exclusive event taking place Saturday, and once those codes are entered, it will reveal a new trailer. More after the jump.
