I like this featurette because it tells about the human side of  Avatar.  The movie keeps getting better and better.

Author Stephanie Meyer talks about her story in the recent New Moon Featurette.  Actors offer their insight into their characters and how they relate to Meyer’s story. It’s like a who’s who of Twilight vampires.

If you are like me, who loves to see how scenes are created, then you’ll love this featurette because it’s all about setting up the scene.  I have posted this scene in full, but this is how they created the scene and made the actors look so strong and violent.  Even the stunt coordinator talks to us about setting up the violence. 

While watching, see if you can catch Robert Pattinson holding a cup of tea while wearing his robe as the stunt coordinator goes over some moves with him for the scene.  Somehow it’s surreal to see an actor holding a cup of tea while discussing a fight scene with a crew member — it’s so British.

Fox Searchlight sent me eight featurettes for the movie Mr. Fantastic Fox.  I found this one to be the most interesting of them all, so enjoy!

Then, I watched this one, below, and found it to be the most interesting one of all.  Which one do you like?

 

Young man as a wolf is something to behold. Don’t you think? 

The more I see Taylor Lautner with his pack of wolves the more I am interested in the Twilightmovies — owooooo!

 

Here is a wonderful featurette about James Cameron’s Avatar.  The featurette offers more details about the story, how the story developed and where the characters have been and where they are headed.

This featurettes describes to movie goers what close-encounters are. It gives more information with examples of the four different types of encounters to give the movie goers more of an idea as to what they can look forward to when they go see the forthcoming science fiction thriller, The Fourth Kind.

 
A Christmas Carol is looking pretty good with this featurette we have Jim Carrey and Robert Zemeckis talking about the movie in general.  No behind-the-scenes, how the movie was made, but I enjoy seeing the excitement of Carrey talking about the Charles Dickens’ story, a classic Christmas story for everyone to enjoy.  Zemeckis wrote the script and directed the film. The movie also includes Gary Oldman, Robin Wright Penn, Colin Firth, Cary Elwes and Bob Hoskins. The movie opens November 6, 2009.

Nice piece on Iron Man 2 about making the movie and the story line.  The clip is a little over seven minutes long but worth the watch. Latin Review brought this clip to my attention – thanks.

Although I have seen better bloopers, I did find this interesting.  The tight quarters of how J.J. Abrams shot the film is clearly seen in this blooper film.   Abrams ability to keep the ensemble cast upbeat is also revealed.  Star Trek DVD will be out soon, which I am sure includes bloopers. Enjoy!

Saw VI arrives in the movie theaters on October 23, 2009.  Here is a featurette with Tobin Bell talking about how scaring the movie is going to be.
