AMERICAN REUNION

• AMERICAN REUNION (Plot Revealed)

Universal has released the official plot synopsis for American Reunion, the fourth big screen installment in their American Pie franchise, which they have now slated for an April 6, 2012 release:

"In the comedy American Reunion, all the American Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn't and that time and distance can't break the bonds of friendship.

It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler's mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about—and get inspired by—the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend."

The film stars Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Seann William Scott, Mena Suvari, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Jennifer Coolidge and Eugene Levy. “

THE DARK KIGHT RISES

The Daily Record (Scotland’s leading Newspaper) has reported that the Dark Knight Rises will be shooting some scenes in Glasgow.

THE FIRST LOOK AT TOM HARDY AS BANE

“Dark Knight Rises, which sees Christian Bale return as the caped crusader, will be filmed in the city, with Anne Hathaway and Michael Caine among the cast.”

Director Christopher Nolan will use shots filmed around Glasgow in some of exterior scenes in the final [installment] of his Batman trilogy.

Shooting has already begun in London and Croydon and will head north for several scenes early next month.

Nolan, who previously used Chicago to depict Gotham, wanted to use several different locations to create a Gotham nobody would recognize. A source revealed: "He plans to use various cities to provide a mash-up of what Gotham will look like. Glasgow was location-scouted for the last film Dark Knight, though in the end it wasn't used. This time, Chris already has several scenes in mind."

This will really turn out to be a Batman film like no other, as Nolan is also set on using Pittsburgh and Jodhpur, India and many European and American locations. This film will be a worldwide event, but will it be as classic as Batman Begins, and as epic as The Dark Knight?? Well it is Christopher Nolan, so we know it’s going to be thee best!!!

Here is the film's official plot synopsis via Cross Creek's site:

"James 'Whitey' Bulger, an Irish street punk in Boston with a penchant for rape and robbery, spent much of his early life incarcerated, including a stint at Alcatraz in the 1950's where he was the subject of a CIA experiment using LSD for mind-control. When released, Whitey returned to his thug lifestyle and eventually rose to power in organized crime by using his FBI informant status to bring down the Italian mafia in New England. He and his fellow hood Steve Flemmi, fed incriminating information on the Italian mob to FBI agents John J. Connolly Jr. and Dick Morris, allowing them to make highly publicized arrests while Bulger filled the void in the upper echelon of Boston organized crime. Whitey Bulger reigned as crime boss into the 1990's until a corruption investigation disgraced Morris, who admitted to taking bribes from Bulger and, with Connolly's alleged assistance, aided and abetted criminal activities involving narcotics, extortion, and murder. Bulger escaped arrest and has been missing ever since. He remains on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List."

Whitey Bulger has served as the inspiration for Jack Nicholson's mob boss in The Departed and Jason Isaacs' character on the Showtime series Brotherhood

HOUSE OF HORROR

• HOUSE OF HORROR

Saw and Insidious director James Wan is getting ready to produce House of Horror, based on a script written by Max La Bella. He's tapped Spanish filmmaker Javier Gutierrez to direct.

The films’ synopsis, “The House of Horror is a horror-thriller that centres around a gruesome crime scene. The film is shot with a blend of found footage, interrogation video, news cameras and classical cinematography. The film focuses on the aftermath of a horrific massacre; five college students, brutally murdered inside a decrepit, abandoned home.

We are thrown right into the mix as the lead Detective, Mark Lewis, and the police department’s psychologist, Dr. Elizabeth Klein, question a suspect. The young man at the centre is John Ascot, bound by handcuffs in a mobile command station. During the interrogation, John explains everything leading up to the deaths of his friends.

We discover that they were amateur ghost-hunters, seeking out paranormal phenomenon at the abandoned house believed to be haunted. What started out as a harmless activity turned into something truly terrifying and more than they ever could bargain for. John explains to the police that he isn’t responsible for his friends’ deaths, but rather, it was the house. He tells them he believes the house is a gateway to hell; a place of concentrated evil.

We slowly witness an eerie change in John’s demeanour through the course of the movie. Things take a disturbing turn when John hints at the notion that he is possessed by the Devil. Detective Lewis and Dr. Klein are forced to unravel the mystery of how John’s friends were murdered. All this leads to a stunning revelation about the man they’ve been interrogating and a gut-wrenching conclusion.”

This could be one of the biggest Horrors for 2011, lets just wait and see how it turns out.

TEKKEN: BLOOD VENGEANCE

• ANOTHER TEKKEN GAME, NOPE ITS THE MOVIE!!!

Now we almost completely forgot how horrible that real Live Tekken adaption was, however Namco Bandai have announced that they will release another Tekken film, in CGI, in 3D, later this year. The film will be release in July or August in the states, but we think it will take a little while longer to reach SA.

Talking at the Namco Bandai Level Up event in Dubai, Tekken-creator Katsuhiro Harada urged fans to forget about the recent straight-to-DVD Hollywood movie, as this is the first film project his team has been officially involved with.  This means it could only get better. Judging from what Namco did with the storyline of the game series, we sure that the film will be worth watching, unlike its predecessor

Youichi Mouri, who directed opening animatics for Tekken 5 and 6, as well as the trailer for the film, directs the film. YES WE HAVE THE TRAILER. IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE ITS FOR THE GAME, BUT NO! IT’S FOR THE FILM!
