Watch The Fantastic IMAX Trailer For ‘Sully’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I don’t know how this one slipped under my radar for so long, but Sully looks fantastic.

A new IMAX trailer for the film, which was apparently shot almost entirely on IMAX cameras, has just hit the web, and is a tense as hell look at the anticipated film, which also features an interview segment with cast and crew.

Seriously though, this trailer is intense, and I can’t wait to see the insane-looking Hudson River scene on the big big screen.

On January 15, 2009, the world witnessed the “Miracle on the Hudson” when Captain “Sully” Sullenberger (Hanks) glided his disabled plane onto the frigid waters of the Hudson River, saving the lives of all 155 aboard. However, even as Sully was being heralded by the public and the media for his unprecedented feat of aviation skill, an investigation was unfolding that threatened to destroy his reputation and his career.

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think! Sully hits theatres on September 9th!

This Making Of ‘Deadpool’s Mask Featurette Is Insanely Interesting!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re finally just a few weeks away from the anticipated (and special feature-filled) Blu-Ray release of Deadpool, and Fox has just debuted a fantastic new featurette detailing just how much work went into crafting the titular character’s impressive mask.

Seriously, you’d never believe how freaking complicated this thing is.

Watch the featurette below, and be sure to let us know if you plan to pick up Deadpool on May 10th.

Crazy, right?

A ‘Deadpool’ Sequel Is Already In The Works!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Deadpool is still three days away from theatres (check out our review here), and apparently Fox has already begun work on a sequel.

The news comes from THR, which notes that Deadpool is tracking for a minimum weekend gross of 65 million.

No word on whether or not director TJ Miller will return, but Deadpool screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick will also pen the script for the sequel.

It’s still pretty freaking amazing that Deadpool was made at all, and now it’s incredible that the film hasn’t even released yet, and that Fox already wants a sequel.

Deadpool opens on February 12th!

See You This Friday, America: Watch The Super Bowl Spot For ‘Deadpool’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The Super Bowl spots keep on coming!

This time around, it’s likely one of the last TV spots we’ll see for Deadpool, as the movie is just a few more days away, and we’ve already seen about a thousand different trailers and TV spots.

This time around, Mr. Pool tells us all about how he’s always wanted to be a pro-athlete.

Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

Take a look at the spot below, read our review of the film right here, and be sure to let us know if you’re excited for the film! Deadpool hits theatres this Friday!

New ‘Transformers: Age Of Extinction’ Trailer Finally Reveals What’s Going On!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: With just over a month to go until Transformers: Age of Extinction hits theatres, Paramount has finally unwrapped more of the film’s sure-to-be-coherent plot. They’ve kept things fairly under wraps so far, so it’s nice to actually learn a bit about the film before it releases.

I’ve hated on the film a lot so far, but this new preview actually makes it look like a pretty fun time. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think! Transformers: Age of Extinction hits theatres on June 27th!

Wow: Check Out The IMAX Poster For ‘Pacific Rim’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Damnit. I wish I wasn’t hours away from my nearest IMAX.

The FanFix poster series continues with this Summer’s release of Pacific Rim, and this poster may just be the best yet. The LA Times Hero Complex premiered the poster today, which was created by artist Sergio Grisanti. Pacific Rim director Guillermo Del Toro had this to say about the beautifully crafted image:

“I am thrilled to introduce Sergio Grisanti to the world. For years he has been a highly respected commercial artist. When I was first exposed to his art for ‘Pacific Rim,’ I knew instantly that he was a powerhouse of talent. He created the Jaeger posters/card art we used at WonderCon. Without any hesitation I asked him to create this new Imax Fanfix art. Look at it closely — with a magnifying glass! So much going on! Such power! Such beauty! Sergio loves his Kaijus and his Mecha, and it shows. The poster, like my film, is a tribute to well-loved things. I wish all the fans the best time at the first Imax screenings of ‘Pacific Rim.’ Enjoy!”

The poster will be given to attendees of Pacific Rim‘s first IMAX screenings. Head here to see if your local theatre is participating! Take a look at Sergio’s poster below, and let us know what you think!

IMAXPacificRim

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes – a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) – who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
