I don’t really understand why the Pixar / Disney marketing machine is getting so hyped up about this. Don’t they get it? Everyone already wants to see this–putting out more stuff really isn’t going to change any minds. For the handful of people who don’t want to see it, and I truly feel bad for them, nothing’s likely to change their minds to begin with.
But for the rest of us–even crusty old horror buffs like yours truly–we can all breathe a sigh of slightly awed contentment at the images that have poured out of Pixar. You can see they’re kind of a watercolor thing going on, and it’s downright beautiful if a bit low-res. Almost reminds me of the whole Polar Express thing from a couple years back.
Best call ahead for the day off now, folks, because you know you’re going to want to see this when it comes out in theaters June 18th.

These images are fanciful and rather fantastic to behold such an imaginary scene.
I only hope the movie is as good, if not better than, the first. Click here to see the other two images and some insight into the movie’s overall production.

Avatar concept art is floating around the Internet. I am not too thrilled about these concepts but the movie will blow us away.
This is a powersuit, which could have come from the Terminator back up files.
The back drop is the planet, Pandora, where other beings called Na’vi live. They are a humanoid race with a different language.

Twilight’s New Moon got a tremendous amount of buzz at Cannes, so the Internet is buzzing about Twilight. Even EW posted over 26 images from the set in Vancouver. Below are two images with Dakota Fanning and the other with the young loving human/vampire couple.
Take a cruise over to EW and read what director Chris Weitz has to say as well as Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

Thanks to AICN I was able to pick up these images from Imagi Studios for Astro Boy. Pretty awesome stuff, it looks like the movie is coming together in a grand, techno-colorful, whompin’-umpin’ action way.

Entertainment Weekly shared these images with their readers, so they can have a look at the coming year in movies. Christian Bale looks awesome as John Connor; I am very excited about the next installment. The producers are excited, too. So much so, that they have committed to two more Terminator films after this one.

I found some images of Miyasaki’s latest project with a description of his film Ponyo On The Cliff By The Sea in his own words. It’s a jewel with a true Miyasaki message.
Thanks Twitch for the lead!
Synopsis:
This is the story of Ponyo, a little fish from the sea who struggles to realize her dream of living with a boy named Sosuke. It also tells of how five-year old Sosuke manages to keep a most solemn promise.
Ponyo On The Cliff places Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid in a contemporary Japanese setting. It is a tale of childhood love and adventure.
A little seaside town and a house at the top of a cliff. A small cast of characters. The ocean as a living presence. A world where magic and alchemy are accepted as part of the ordinary.
The sea below, like our subconscious mind, intersects with the wave-tossed surface above. By distorting normal space and contorting normal shapes, the sea is animated not as a backdrop to the story, but as one of its principal characters.
A little boy and a little girl, love and responsibility, the ocean and life – these things, and that which is most elemental to them, are depicted in the most basic way in Ponyo On The Cliff. This is my response to the afflictions and uncertainty of our times.
- Hayao Miyazaki
