  • Live-action “Akira” is coming, and the Hughes brothers will direct it

    Live-action “Akira” is coming, and the Hughes brothers will direct it

    Posted on June 23, 2010 | No Comments
    One of the best manga ever created, Akira, is going to the big screen. And this time, it won't be an anime (like the one from 1988) but a live-action film. We first reported about plans to shoot the live-action remake, whose rights were bought by Leonardo DiCaprio's production company, Appian Way, back in February 2008. The idea was scrapped a few months later, until New York Magazine wrote in February this year the studio is in negotiations with the Hughes Brothers (who directed "The Book Of Eli") to direct the movie.

    Warner Bros. UK offers internship to spy on BitTorrent users

    Posted on March 29, 2010 | No Comments
    Warner Bros. UK is offering an internship to "IT literate" students that requires them to spy on fellow file-sharers. The intern will have to maintain accounts on private BitTorrent sites, as well as procure new accounts, in order to supply Warner Bros. UK with information on how that whole "world" works. Not a bad idea from Warner's perspective.

    And now Redbox will have to wait 28 days for new Warner Bros. DVDs

    Warner Bros. has agreed a new deal with Redbox that will give Redbox access to its DVDs, but only 28 days after the retail release. The move is designed to encourage people to actually buy the shiny, new DVDs when they come out. Why is that a problem?

    Warner Bros. looking to reboot Superman movie franchise. Again.

    Posted on February 9, 2010 | No Comments
    Get ready for another movie franchise re-boot! Yes, Warner Bros. wants to re-boot Superman, and it wants Christopher Nolan to sorta oversee the project, but not direct it. You'll recall that Mr. Nolan successfully re-booted Batman, the silliness of the second film notwithstanding. Money is money.

    The latest movie franchise to be rebooted? Mortal Kombat. Yikes.

    Posted on January 26, 2010 | No Comments
    Does the world need another Mortal Kombat movie? No, probably not, but that won't stop Hollywood from attempting to exploit a license that was last hot in 1994. Word on the street is that Warner Bros. wants to, yes, “reboot” the series. (Note: You cannot reboot a dead computer, so I don't know if it's possible to reboot a dead movie franchise.) To that end it has hired Oren Uziel to write the script. You've probably never heard of Uziel, but he wrote Shimmer Lake. You've probably never heard of that, either.

    Family Guy advertised Windows 7 after all

    Posted on November 23, 2009 | No Comments
    Remember that hubbub a few weeks back about Seth MacFarlane's Family Guy advertising Windows 7? But the show was apparently deemed to raunchy so Microsoft replaced Family Guy with Warner Bros. Well, did you catch last night's episode? There was a Family Guy segment that certainly looked like an advertisement and was then followed by a regular Windows 7 commercial. Check out the video after the jump. It makes you wonder if there is more to come and the deal isn't dead after all.

    The Family Guy-Microsoft story has been tearing this country apart for too long. No more! Seth McFarlane & Co. have found a new sponsor for their Almost Live special, and it's none other than the movie Sherlock Holmes, which stars Robert Downey, Jr.

    MovieSD: Japan gets “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” on microSD

    Posted on July 29, 2009 | No Comments
    I don't know why, but microSD seems to suddenly become an alternative for distributing digital content lately, at least in Japan. Two weeks ago, a Japanese entertainment company was the first in the world to start selling digital content on a microSD card (a rock band sold its songs, videos and lyrics on PDF on a profesionally marketed microSD card). Last week, Disney Japan announced it will release selected movies on this medium in November. And today, Warner Bros. Japan said it wants to be part of MovieSD [JP], too (a new brand for movies stored on - you guessed it - microSD cards).

    Man alive is The Pirate Bay finished! Business Week has an interview with Hans Pandeya, the CEO of Global Gaming Factory, the company that's set to buy The Pirate Bay for nearly $8 million (provided it can come up with the money). What's mainly discussed it what type of business plan does this man have in store for The Pirate Bay. It's safe to say that The Pirate Bay will be all but dead in one year's time.
