<p>There she blows! This weekend, Universal will dock <strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/peter-berg">Peter Berg</a>&#8216;s</strong> <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/battleship"><strong><em>Battleship</em></strong></a> at a theater near you. The film is a live-action adaptation of the popular Hasbro strategy game. It stars<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/taylor-kitsch"><strong> Taylor Kitsch</strong></a> as a reluctant hero, who gets caught in the middle of an alien invasion. He&#8217;s supported by a cast of familiar faces including <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/true-blood"><em><strong>True Blood&#8217;s</strong></em></a> <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/alexander-skarsgard"><strong>Alexander Skarsgard</strong></a>, and Oscar-nominee <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/liam-neeson"><strong>Liam Neeson</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Check out our review below&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-165718"></span></p>
<h2>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director</strong>: Peter Berg</li>
<li><strong>Writers</strong>: Erich and Jon Hoeber</li>
<li><strong>Cast</strong>: Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Tadanobu Asano, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker, Jesse Plemons, Gregory D. Gadson, Peter MacNicol and Liam Neeson</li>
<li><strong>Director of Photography</strong>: Tobias A. Schliessler</li>
<li><strong>Music</strong>: Steve Jablonsky</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Plot:</h2>
<p><em>Battleship</em> centers on Alex Hopper (Kitsch), a Naval lieutenant known for his immaturity and lack of discipline. While participating in a training exercise, an alien force lands at sea and sets up shop off the coast of Oahu. After suffering several tragedies at the hands of these creatures, Hopper&#8217;s forced to become the new leader of a broken crew.</p>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Nods to the game:</strong> Director Peter Berg did the impossible. He managed to integrate elements of the <em>Battleship</em> board game into the film&#8217;s narrative. You actually see a version of the playing grid, and hear commands like &#8220;R-5! E-7!&#8221; There&#8217;s even a nod to the game&#8217;s famous tagline. They just couldn&#8217;t resist.</li>
<li><strong>Honors the military</strong>: Everything about <em>Battleship</em> shows great respect and love for the Armed Forces. It honors veterans of the past, while praising soldiers actively on duty. The cast is littered with real-life military personnel, who come out of retirement for some much-deserved screen-time.</li>
<li><strong>Taylor Kitsch</strong>: Kitsch is a decent actor, who needs material that plays to his strengths. To date, his best work remains on the defunct series, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/friday-night-lights/"><strong><em>Friday Night Lights</em></strong></a>. Therefore, we&#8217;re not surprised he was chosen to play Alex Hopper. The character&#8217;s nothing more than Tim Riggins with a haircut. Either way, the similarities worked in his favor and produced a solid performance.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The So-So:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong></strong><strong>Admiral Shane</strong>: We love Liam Neeson, but his character brought nothing to the table. He&#8217;s written as a one-note military dad, whose main job is to scold Hopper. He doesn&#8217;t have much to do, and that falls on the shoulders of the writers and director. They had a great actor, but did absolutely nothing with him.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Alien threat:</strong> How big does an alien threat need to be? For the majority of the film, we&#8217;re watching a large, mysterious mass outsmart and out-maneuver the heroes at every turn. And that&#8217;s just their ship! The creatures themselves are a whole other story. They destroy major cities, but seem more concerned with technology than people. Any casualties are merely accidental or brought on by provocation. Their motivation is unclear, and identities are never explored.</li>
<li><strong>The government:</strong> When it comes to the invasion, the White House really takes a backseat. It&#8217;s understandable that the writers want the focus on Hopper and his heroics, but where&#8217;s the government&#8217;s presence? There are a few scenes with the Secretary of Defense (played by the underrated <strong>Peter MacNicol</strong>), but he had no grasp of the situation or how to handle it.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p><em>Battleship</em> is everything you expect it to be. It&#8217;s loud, it&#8217;s colorful and filled with <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Michael-Bay/">Michael Bay</a>-grade explosions. The story isn&#8217;t well defined, but there are some good character interactions, and humorous moments. It&#8217;s mindless fun and definitely a popcorn movie for the masses.</p>
<h2>The Rating: 6/10</h2>
<p><em>Battleship</em> opens in theaters nationwide May 18</p>

<p>Oh, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/battleship" target="_blank"><em>Battleship</em></a>.  The “<em>hey-this-is-just-how-<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michael-bay" target="_blank">Michael-Bay</a>-makes-‘em-right?</em>” potential blockbuster has the unfortunate duty of opening in the wake of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-avengers/" target="_blank"><em>The Avenger</em>s</a>’ May release, <em>and</em> features a <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/transformers" target="_blank"><em>Transformers</em></a>-like premise without any actual Transformers, just keeps dropping new clips and ads, and yet still looks like a bland rehash of everything from <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/pearl-harbor" target="_blank"><em>Pearl Harbor</em></a> to <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/battle-los-angeles" target="_blank"><em>Battle: Los Angeles</em></a>.  Today, we’ve got a new clip featuring a bar-hopping <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/taylor-kitsch" target="_blank">Taylor Kitsch</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/brookyln-decker" target="_blank">Brooklyn Decker</a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/alexander-skarsgard" target="_blank">Alexander Skarsgard</a>.  Let the unnaturally orange skin tones begin!</p>
<p><span id="more-163057"></span>The film, directed by <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/peter-berg" target="_blank">Peter Berg</a>, is the story of how the U.S. Navy must do battle with invading aliens from an Earth-like planet, and is an adaptation of the Hasbro naval combat game that featured neither invading aliens nor any other Earth-like planets.  So go figure that out.</p>
<p>In the film, it’s up to a group of bizarrely young and attractive naval officers to defend planet Earth against the conquest of the extraterrestrials, armed only with naval ships and catch phrases such “B-9!” and “A-17!” and “YOU SUNK MY BATTLESHIP!” (ok, I can’t guarantee that last part about the catch phrases is true).  But yeah: big naval battleships and some alien space ships, lots of orange skin, copious CGI, and a bunch of things going boom-boom.  For those of you needing a Michael Bay fix this summer, this is as good as it’s gonna get for you.</p>

<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/oliver-stone">Oliver Stone</a>&#8216;s <em><strong>Savages</strong></em> feels like a comeback. Maybe it is, in that it&#8217;s a comeback into mainstream cinema. His last film was a sequel to <em><strong>Wall Street</strong></em>, and that film has already been lost to time. This is a big crime-filled ensemble drama/action movie, and it looks like a winner (mostly). The film is due out July 6, and features <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/benicio-del-toro">Benicio Del Toro</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/blake-lively">Blake Lively</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/aaron-johnson">Aaron Johnson</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/taylor-kitsch">Taylor Kitsch</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/emile-hirsch">Emile Hirsch</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/salma-hayek">Salma Hayek </a>and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/john-travolta">John Travolta</a>. And now we have a trailer.</p>
<p><span id="more-162122"></span></p>
<p>The crime film goes through cycles of popularity, and it&#8217;s been a while since there&#8217;s been a mainstream attempt at it. The presence of John Travolta (and Salma Hayek&#8217;s haircut) gives it the ghostly feeling of being a riff on <em><strong>Pulp Fiction</strong></em> and the multitude of films that it inspired. It&#8217;s been long enough that could feel like a breath of fresh air.</p>

<p>The biggest problem here seems to be Hayek, who is trying very hard to convey a dangerous woman. That moment where she takes a bite feels like it&#8217;s been coached out of her.  Also, the script comes from Shane Salerno, who wrote the terrible <em><strong>Alien Vs. Predator</strong></em> sequel <em><strong>Requiem</strong></em>. Still, this looks interesting and when Stone misses the mark it&#8217;s usually a fascinating ride.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favorite Oliver Stone film?</strong></p>

<p>It&#8217;s hard to parse <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/andrew-stanton">Andrew Stanton</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/john-carter"><em><strong>John Carter</strong></em> </a>without acknowledging that the film has become a curiosity, as it&#8217;s a very expensive movie that never figured out how to sell itself. But that has nothing to do with the quality of the film itself, which suffers from a number of very familiar problems to the science fiction and blockbuster genres. Though the spectacle is often jaw-dropping in scale, <em><strong>Carter</strong></em> is incredibly clumsy in getting to those moments.</p>
<p><span id="more-160227"></span></p>
<h2>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director</strong>: Andrew Stanton</li>
<li><strong>Writers</strong>: Andrew Stanton, Mark Andrews, Michael Chabon</li>
<li><strong>Cast</strong>: <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/taylor-kitsch">Taylor Kitsch</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/lynn-collins">Lynn Collins</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/mark-strong">Mark Strong</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/dominic-west">Dominic West</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/willem-dafoe">Willem Dafoe</a>, Samantha Morton</li>
<li><strong>Music</strong>: Michael Giacchino</li>
<li><strong>Cinematography</strong>: Daniel Mindel</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Plot:</h2>
<p>Edgar Rice Burroughs (Daryl Sabara) is sent an urgent telegram from his uncle John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) telling him to come to his estate. When Edgar shows up, Carter is dead. Edgar is then instructed to read his story, which shows how Carter was a civil war veteran who was transported to Mars (which Martians call &#8220;Barsoom&#8221;) only to fall in love with a princess there. She&#8217;s Dejah Thoris (Collins), who is on the verge of discovering the power of the ninth ray, but the bad guys don&#8217;t like that so they&#8217;re going to force her to marry Sab Than (West). Sab&#8217;s a brute who&#8217;s been given a powerful ray gun-like weapon by the god-like Matai Shang (Strong).  On Mars, Carter has tremendous powers to leap and punch, which makes him valuable to the Tharks, the four armed martians headed up by Tars Tarkas (Dafoe), but though he&#8217;s a reluctant hero, he falls quickly for Dejah.</p>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Spectacle</strong>: The rumors of how much this film cost run from $250 to more than $350 Million. As such, when there are giant flying boats in the film, and they crash and shoot at each other, it&#8217;s pretty cool. There are some good fight scenes and though it never feels all that alien so much as a movie shot in the desert, it looks great and there&#8217;s some scale.</li>
<li><strong>Lynn Collins</strong>: As Dejah Thoris, Collins makes a great impression as the female lead of the film. She&#8217;s smart, sexy and a fierce warrior, but there&#8217;s enough going on behind her eyes that it&#8217;s not just like watching the standard obligatory pretty girl in an action movie. She&#8217;s playing a character, not an object, and that&#8217;s a big relief.</li>
<li><strong>Wit</strong>: Though this is Andrew Stanton&#8217;s first live action feature, the man knows set up and punchlines through his time at Pixar, and so there&#8217;s some witty visual gags involving Carter&#8217;s first encounter with authority, and Stanton knows how to communicate ideas visually. And he makes perfect use of the space dog in the film.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Did You Really Write This?</strong>: There were rumors of numerous re-shoots, and nothing shows post-production tinkering more than the opening of the movie. It starts with the bad guys (played mostly by Mark Strong) giving West&#8217;s character a powerful weapon. Then it cuts to John Carter sending a telegram while he&#8217;s followed. Then he dies and Edgar must start reading his journal, which then puts him in the old west as a reluctant warrior unwilling to fight the Indians. This is like twenty minutes or so of material before he goes to Mars, and it&#8217;s a total jumble of exposition and back story that&#8217;s seemingly there to inform the audience what&#8217;s going on but only seems to throw information at them. And  when you have this sort of protracted prologue it means you have to have an extended epilogue, which is obnoxious because this is an action movie, and the main action is already over when there&#8217;s still ten to fifteen minutes of wrap up. When the big action sequences hit, they&#8217;re cool enough, but the story is nonsense. And after having to wait for a good chunk of running time for things to get going, by then it&#8217;s hard to care.</li>
<li><strong>Kitsch</strong>/<strong>Carter</strong>: Taylor Kitsch&#8217;s John Carter is a reluctant hero who eventually finds a reason to unleash his inner warrior, but his motivations are spelled out in capital letters, and he never seems to convincingly turn from one direction to another. On top of that his relationship with Dejah is mostly that of &#8220;she&#8217;s hot.&#8221; Kitsch was wonderful on <em><strong>Friday Night Lights</strong></em>, and his character is one of the high points of that show, but here he&#8217;s not a large enough presence to rise above the Martian landscapes. The film does recall the serials of the 1930&#8242;s, but the film would have been better served with an actor like Charlton Heston. Perhaps that&#8217;s unfair because there aren&#8217;t those actors any more, but it still remains a problem for the film.</li>
<li><strong>3-D</strong>: The desert look of this film really worked against the dimensionality, as 3-D has a tendency to darken the image. For the majority of the movie, I spent wishing I could watch the 2-D version. There&#8217;s nothing truly great about the dimensionality of the film.</li>
<li><strong>White Ape</strong>: Much of the marketing has been based around John Carter fighting the big ape in the gladiator arena. This happens nearly two-thirds the way through the movie, and the danger of the apes is only mentioned in passing. If the white apes weren&#8217;t the lynchpin of the marketing this reveal might be cool, but&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p>Enough money was spent on this film to make it look and sound great. And there&#8217;s some good things about it. But other than Dejah Thoris, the characters are mostly blanks who go through the motions. It&#8217;s big empty spectacle, which has its place, but offers little other than passing thrills.</p>
<h2>Rating:6.5/10</h2>
<p><em><strong>John Carter</strong></em> opens March 9.</p>

<p>2012&#8242;s summer is going to be interesting as many of the big films look like they might not work. <em><strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/men-in-black">Men in Black III </a></strong></em>is going for another round of re-shoots, and there are a lot of other question marks, as well. Now we have the full trailer for <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/peter-berg">Peter Berg</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/battleship"><em><strong>Battleship</strong></em> </a>- which on paper looks dicey &#8211; but it&#8217;s got scale and a story now. <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/taylor-kitsch">Taylor Kitsch</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/liam-neeson">Liam Neeson</a>, Rhiana, Brooklyn Decker and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Alexander-Skarsgard ">Alexander Skarsgard </a>star. The film is set to open May 18. Check it out&#8230; <span id="more-157433"></span></p>
<p>The best thing to say about the new trailer is that now we&#8217;ve got a story. Kitsch&#8217;s character is put in charge, and you don&#8217;t have to think of <strong><em></em></strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/star-trek"><strong><em>Star Trek </em></strong></a><em><strong></strong></em>to recognize this as a fun but dusty old trope. Model-turned-actress Brooklyn Decker (her name sounds like a slang term for something incredibly filthy) does not appear to have much chops, but from the gadgets of the villains to their full-body <em><strong>Halo</strong></em> suits, this looks about 20% less dumb than it did before.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YatZXieJsL4" frameborder="0" width="570" height="324"></iframe></p>
<p>Okay, it&#8217;s a stupid premise, and it&#8217;s great that they&#8217;re selling the Hasboro connection to <em><strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/transformers">Transformers</a></strong></em> (really?), but it&#8217;s got Jesse Plemons, who played Landry on <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/friday-night-lights"><em><strong>Friday Night Lights</strong></em></a>, and who remains one of the great TV geek characters. As long as there is escalation and some actual chess-type strategy involved, this <em><strong>Battleship</strong></em> could be good stupid fun. Fingers crossed.</p>
<p><strong>What Board Game should they adapt next?</strong></p>

<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/andrew-stanton">Andrew Stanton</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/john-carter"><em><strong>John Carter</strong></em> </a>has gone through a paradigm shift in its marketing. Earlier it was selling moody shoots that didn&#8217;t really tell the story of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/taylor-kitsch">Taylor Kitsch</a>&#8216;s titular Carter, who is missing from Earth and thought dead. It gave a hint of his role as savior for Martians, with one played by <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/willem-dafoe">Willem Dafoe</a>. Now, (<a href="http://screencrave.com/2011-11-30/john-carter-gets-a-new-poster-and-trailer/">as they made obvious recently </a>) it&#8217;s an action movie. Check it out&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-157056"></span></p>
<p><object id="vid_20cfd91de975660f9035e9572a31b030" width="570" height="355" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="flashvars" value="url=http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/11/30/john-carter-trailer" /><param name="src" value="http://media.ign.com/ev/prod/embed.swf" /><embed id="vid_20cfd91de975660f9035e9572a31b030" width="570" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://media.ign.com/ev/prod/embed.swf" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="url=http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/11/30/john-carter-trailer" /></object></p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to tell what to think of the movie considering what they&#8217;ve shown previously to what they&#8217;re showing now. Earlier clips focused on the moody Carter, the reluctant hero who doesn&#8217;t want violence, who doesn&#8217;t want to get in the middle of things. Now he&#8217;s shown as someone who&#8217;s cool with a little violence. That seems a better approach, especially if one of the main characters is a cute Martian dog. Brooding works for <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/batman">Batman </a>a little, but few other pulp fiction heroes.</p>
<p>Still, Carter is a big question mark. It&#8217;s not fair to call the film troubled, but the film didn&#8217;t start out with great marketing, went though at least one round of reshoots, and has a very high budget. This is a risky picture for everyone involved, and if I were working on the picture, I&#8217;d be very, very nervous. March is a ways away, and they&#8217;ve got until 3/9/2012.</p>

<p>With <em><strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/john-carter">John Carter</a></strong></em>&#8216;s release date fast approaching, Disney is gearing up for the March 9 release of one of their most expensive films of 2012. And so far&#8230; they haven&#8217;t gotten much traction with their teasers and posters. The film is based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel, and stars <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/taylor-kitsch">Taylor Kitsch </a>and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/lynn-collins">Lynn Collins</a>. Yeah, they need to sell <em>something</em> to get people hooked. Here&#8217;s a teaser from the latest trailer, which finally starts selling the spectacle.</p>
<p><span id="more-156994"></span></p>
<p><img style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="http://c.gigcount.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.11NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEzMjI2Nzg*OTY*ODUmcHQ9MTMyMjY3OTA*MjU3NSZwPSZkPSZnPTImbz1lNGI5ZTliMGY5MWU*ZjAwYjk5YTVmMTg4/OTkxYjY5MCZvZj*w.gif" alt="OTkxYjY5MCZvZj*w John Carter Gets a New Poster and Trailer" width="0" height="0" border="0" title="John Carter Gets a New Poster and Trailer" /><object id="kaltura_player_1322678094" width="570" height="381" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashVars" value="autoPlay=false&amp;screensLayer.startScreenOverId=startScreen&amp;screensLayer.startScreenId=startScreen" /><param name="src" value="http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/index.php/kwidget/wid/0_9z0ib3vf/uiconf_id/5590821" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allownetworking" value="all" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="autoPlay=false&amp;screensLayer.startScreenOverId=startScreen&amp;screensLayer.startScreenId=startScreen" /><embed id="kaltura_player_1322678094" width="570" height="381" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/index.php/kwidget/wid/0_9z0ib3vf/uiconf_id/5590821" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all" allowFullScreen="true" flashVars="autoPlay=false&amp;screensLayer.startScreenOverId=startScreen&amp;screensLayer.startScreenId=startScreen" allowscriptaccess="always" allownetworking="all" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="autoPlay=false&amp;screensLayer.startScreenOverId=startScreen&amp;screensLayer.startScreenId=startScreen" /><a href="http://corp.kaltura.com">video platform</a><a href="http://corp.kaltura.com/video_platform/video_management">video management</a><a href="http://corp.kaltura.com/solutions/video_solution">video solutions</a><a href="http://corp.kaltura.com/video_platform/video_publishing">video player</a></object></p>
<p>Of course this is from <em><strong>Good Morning America</strong></em>, which is showing the highlights of the highlights. This is <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/andrew-stanton">Andrew Stanton</a>&#8216;s first non-animated film. Stanton started out with Pixar, and directed films like <em><strong>Finding Nemo</strong></em> and <em><strong>Wall*E</strong></em> &#8211; he&#8217;s definitely talented.</p>
<p>With three months to go, they need to get audiences excited about this event picture if they hope to find an audience. There are very few second weekends for pictures that are as good if not better than their first, and this is a very expensive question mark right now. With a couple of good trailers and TV spots, they could get audiences hooked in, and this is Disney. But it&#8217;s still a big question mark.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the newest poster in full:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-156997" title="Full John Carter Poster" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/John_Carter_New_Poster_2011.jpg" alt="John Carter New Poster 2011 John Carter Gets a New Poster and Trailer" width="576" height="853" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-151002" title="Muppets" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Muppets-6-20-11DH.jpg" alt="Muppets 6 20 11DH D23: Live Action Round Up   The Muppets Wins, John Carter Stumbles and Oz: The Great and Powerful introduces itself!" width="576" height="385" /></p>
<p>Though <em><strong>The Odd Life of Timothy Green</strong></em> and the nature film <em><strong>Chimpanzee</strong></em> had trailers shown (and Jennifer Garner talked briefly about <em><strong>Green</strong></em>), the majority of attention for Disney&#8217;s live Actions films at <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/d23">D23 </a>went to <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-muppets"><em><strong>The Muppets</strong></em> </a>and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/john-carter"><em><strong>John Carter</strong></em></a>. <em><strong>The Muppets</strong></em> went over like gangbusters, while <em><strong>Carter</strong></em> just busted. There was also a brief presentation on <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Oz-The-Great-and-Powerful"><em><strong>Oz: The Great and Powerful</strong></em></a>, which just started shooting. Our report follows.</p>
<p><span id="more-153374"></span><em><strong></strong></em></p>
<h2><em><strong>John Carter</strong></em></h2>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>John Carter</strong></em>&#8216;s presentation began with director Andrew Stanton fumbling his way through a  teleprompter, talking about how he and the writers loved the books when they were younger. Then they brought out stars <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Taylor-Kitsch">Taylor Kitsch</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/willem-dafoe">Willem Dafoe</a> and Lynn Collins to talk about the film, and though Kitsch spoke passionattely about his enthusiasm for the project, Collins came off as a blank, and Dafoe was relegated to talking about how he did his part (as a motion captured nine foot tall, four-armed martian) on stilts. The first clip showed John Carter (Kitsch) during his first day on Mars, and his first experience with Dafoe&#8217;s Tars Tarkas as they try to understand each other. Perhaps the desert settings make it a little colder, but there was no sense of wonder there as a CGI creation and a guy in a desert who can jump really high try to communicate for the first time.</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-153435" title="Concept art from John Carter" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/HELIUMairshipDUSTFRONT1b_R.jpg" alt="HELIUMairshipDUSTFRONT1b R D23: Live Action Round Up   The Muppets Wins, John Carter Stumbles and Oz: The Great and Powerful introduces itself!" width="576" height="241" /></p>
<ul>
<li>The second clip was probably the best as Carter is captured, put in a semi-prison and then meets a martain dog who wants to play with him. The dog has a large head and mouth and can run real fast. Again, the problem with the footage so far is that everything is a little too familiar. The dog looks like when the Dog in <em><strong>The Mask</strong></em> puts on the Mask.</li>
<li>In the third clip, Carter is with Dejah Thoris (Collins), and she gives him a magical trinket that has the power to transport him back to Earth. The two have a lovers argument as she wants him to stay and fight, and then at the end of the footage Dominic West shows up (and immediately made it seem like <em><strong>The Wire</strong></em> vs. <em><strong>Friday Night Lights</strong></em>) and Carter seems gone. The problem with this clip is that if this is a scene with the hero and the leading lady at ninety minute mark of the film, him leaving is not really dramatic, because he can&#8217;t. He&#8217;s the hero of the piece (hence the title).</li>
<li> The last clip had Carter and Tarkas in an arena facing off against a giant four armed ape. Yes, everyone in the auditorium started thinking &#8220;hey this is like <em><strong>Attack of the Clones</strong></em>&#8221; at the same time.</li>
<li>With the third clip having no great context, and the rest looking like familiar empty spectacle, the footage didn&#8217;t win over many converts. There was no hint at the pulp origins of the material, nor and it didn&#8217;t seem very propulsive &#8211; the model would seem to be <em><strong>Raiders of the Lost Ark</strong></em>, but with a dour hero, perhaps they&#8217;re going <em><strong>The Dark Knight</strong></em>/&#8221;moody&#8221; route. There might be a good movie in there, but when Stanton said that the teaser trailer suggested the tone of the film, well <a href="http://screencrave.com/2011-07-18/john-carter-gets-a-teaser/">watch it </a>and see if that gets you excited.</li>
</ul>
<h2><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-153436" title="Jason Segel and Walter in The Muppets" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Jason-Segel-and-Walter-in-The-Muppet.jpg" alt="Jason Segel and Walter in The Muppet D23: Live Action Round Up   The Muppets Wins, John Carter Stumbles and Oz: The Great and Powerful introduces itself!" width="577" height="385" /></h2>
<h2>The Muppets</h2>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>The Muppets</strong></em> brought out <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Jason-segel">Jason Segel</a>, Kermit and Miss Piggy to talk about the film. Though their antics were kept short (and Piggy arriving to &#8220;Born to be Wild&#8221; wasn&#8217;t a great joke), they showed two scenes from the film, and both were great. The first had Segel, along with a new muppet named Walter, and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/amy-adams">Amy Adams </a>arriving at Kermit&#8217;s place, where Kermit has become a recluse. After running into an electric fence, Kermit takes them in, and in his house we meet Kermit&#8217;s stuck-in-the-80&#8242;s robot, who is designed a little like Wall*E, but also the robot in <em><strong>Rocky IV</strong></em> as it offers the guests the options of Tab or New Coke.</li>
<li>The second clip shows the Muppets cleaning up the Muppet theater in a musical number staged to Starship&#8217;s &#8220;We Built This City,&#8221; and they couldn&#8217;t have found a more winning sequence to highlight. The Swedish Chef, the Muppet band (Animal!) and many other regulars make an appearance as they clean in a montage of funny bits (the chickens dust with their rumps, old food gets blow-torched, etc.) If you love the muppets, it looks liek they got the tone right, irreverent, but childish.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="post_tag-check-num-0"><em><strong>Oz: The Great and Powerful</strong></em></h2>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Oz: The Great and Powerful</strong></em> just started shooting in Detroit, but <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Sam-Raimi%20">Sam Raimi </a>gave a personal introduction via video, and a featurette played, with interviews with <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/James-Franco">James Franco</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Zach-Braff">Zach Braff</a> and the film&#8217;s witches <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Mila-Kunis">Mila Kunis</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Michelle-Williams">Michelle Williams</a>, and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Rachel-Weisz">Rachel Weisz</a>. AS this is just going, the interviews with vacuous. Everyone followed the standard interview procedures of talking about how great it was, and right at the end there seemed to be a shot from the film &#8211; in black and white and 1.33:1 &#8211; that is meant to mimic the 1939 <em><strong>Wizard of Oz</strong></em>. The stills shown of the storyboards and conceptual art seemed familiar to the &#8217;39 version, but of a greater (and CGI enhanced) scale. It also reminded a little of <a>Tim Burton</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Alice-in-Wonderland/"><em><strong>Alice in Wonderland</strong></em></a>. At this stage, it&#8217;s hard to know how it will turn out.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What of these films do you most want to see?</strong></p>

<p>It&#8217;s hard to know what to make of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/battleship"><em><strong>Battleship</strong></em></a> &#8211; the movie &#8211; even after the trailer. And that&#8217;s because it&#8217;s hard to call the board game (from which the film is derived) plot driven. It involves calling out numbers, which leads to hits and misses. Here there&#8217;s an intergalactic threat, and battleships. No on ei is currently calling out anything resembling numbers, but you know someone&#8217;s going to say <em>it</em>, someone&#8217;s got to say &#8220;you&#8217;ve sunk my battleship.&#8221; <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/peter-berg">Peter Berg </a>directs <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/liam-neeson">Liam Neeson</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Alexander-Skarsgard">Alexander Skarsgard</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/taylor-kitsch">Taylor Kitsch</a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/brooklyn-decker/">Brooklyn Decker</a>, and the teaser&#8217;s here now. Check it out&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-152547"></span></p>
<div><iframe src="http://d.yimg.com/nl/movies/site/player.html#shareUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fmovies.yahoo.com%2Ffeature%2Fbattleship.html&amp;vid=26061671" frameborder="0" width="576" height="324"></iframe></div>
<p>This looks part <em><strong>Independence Day</strong></em>, but maybe a little <em><strong>Pearl Harbor</strong></em>ish. Post World War II saw a boom in films about war boats, but partly because location shooting is so temperamental, there haven&#8217;t been that many over the last twenty years. You also have submarine movies, but so many of those revolve around claustrophobia.</p>
<p>This must be the set up, but it doesn&#8217;t feel like there&#8217;s much meat here. There&#8217;s a love interest, and some back story (Berg is good with characters, so the first act shouldn&#8217;t be too painful, though Brooklyn Decker is still a model first), and then an alien attack. If it follows the board game, it could be a cat and mouse game, but nothing in the trailer suggests as much. So it&#8217;s still a weird film. But the footage looks good and the actors are likeable. Maybe once we get a sense that there is a story here, it could be more appealing. Word is that there were groans when the trailer showed at preview screenings of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/cowboys-and-aliens"><em><strong>Cowboys and Aliens</strong></em></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Did this sink your interest in <em>Battleship</em>?</strong></p>

<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/john-carter"><em><strong>John Carter</strong></em></a> is a big expensive question mark. It stars <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/taylor-kitsch">Taylor Kitsch </a>- who gave a breakout performance on the TV version of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/friday-night-lights"><em><strong>Friday Night Lights</strong></em> </a>- and is directed by <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/andrew-stanton">Andrew Stanton</a>, who is best known for his work on Pixar animation. The material by Edgar Rice Burroughs has been floating around for a while, and at one point Harry Knowles of Ain&#8217;t It Cool News was attached as a producer, and both Kerry Conran and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/jon-favreau">Jon Favreau </a>were on it for a while. But now it&#8217;s coming March 9, 2012. Check out the teaser&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-152044"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><object width="580" height="338" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/b8xblwyKtfo?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="580" height="338" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/b8xblwyKtfo?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p>There is scale here, though &#8211; like <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/cowboys-and-aliens"><em><strong>Cowboys and Aliens</strong></em></a> &#8211; if gives the sense of a sci-fi western. And the music suggests this isn&#8217;t that rock &#8216;em sock &#8216;em spectacle that may be expected. Though some of those effects might not be done yet. There&#8217;s also the voice of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/willem-dafoe">Willem Dafoe</a>, who is going to have to work to not remind that he&#8217;s Willem Dafoe.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s hope this could be something special, and with Brad Bird also going live action this year, it&#8217;s a good year for Pixar alum to be on the big screen. Right now, the material seems undefined, but if this has the sense of adventure and outer space thrills Stanton brought to <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/wall-e/"><em><strong>Wall-E</strong></em></a>, then it could be something special indeed.</p>
<p><strong>Have you read the Edgar Rice Burroughs novels?</strong></p>

<p>We&#8217;ve known for a while that Universal is planning a prequel/spin-off to their highly successful Jason Bourne franchise, but they&#8217;ve yet to find an actor to play the lead. According to several sources, director and screenwriter <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Tony-Gilroy">Tony Gilroy</a> has cast a very wide net on potential candidates for the primary role in <em><strong>The Bourne Legacy</strong></em>. They include everyone from 20 year old <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/alex-pettyfer/">Alex Pettyfer</a> to Australian actor <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Joel-Edgerton">Joel Edgerton</a>. Check out the complete shortlist below&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-136372"></span></p>
<p><em>The Bourne Legacy</em> will  focus on a new character, which will  leave it open for the possibility  of <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Matt-Damon">Matt Damon</a> returning to the  franchise down the line. <em>Legacy</em> doesn&#8217;t  center on Jason Bourne but a  new assassin with a similar background as him.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118032853?refCatId=13">Variety</a> and <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2011/02/tony-gilroy-casts-net-for-bourne-spinoff/">Deadline</a>, these are the actors who&#8217;ve been mentioned as <em>Bourne</em> possibilities.</p>
<ul>
<li>Alex Pettyfer</li>
<li>Joel Edgerton</li>
<li>Josh Hartnett</li>
<li>Jake Gyllenhaal</li>
<li>Tobey Maguire</li>
<li>Paul Dano</li>
<li>Michael Pitt</li>
<li>Oscar Isaac</li>
<li>Garrett Hedlund</li>
<li>Kellan Lutz</li>
<li>Tobey Maguire</li>
<li>Michael Fassbender</li>
<li>Luke Evans</li>
<li>Taylor Kitsch</li>
<li>Benjamin Walker</li>
</ul>
<p>This is truly an interesting bunch of actors. At first glance, we&#8217;re not  sure what type of look they&#8217;re going for. Dano doesn&#8217;t exactly strike us as an action star but then again, Damon didn&#8217;t seem like the best bet for the series and look how he turned out. The trade claims that no one is currently in the lead for the role, but they&#8217;re all being looked at.</p>
<p><strong>Who do you think would make the best Bourne?</strong></p>

<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Taylor-Kitsch">Taylor Kitsch </a>has traded in his signature long locks for a short,  spiky do on the set of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/battleship/"><strong><em>Battleship</em></strong></a>. It&#8217;s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Peter-Berg">Peter Berg&#8217;s</a> latest film and it  calls for the actor to take a more military approach to his look.  Recently, we posted the<a href="http://screencrave.com/2010-09-01/first-look-rihanna-on-the-set-of-battleship/"> first photos</a> of his co-star <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Rihanna">Rihanna</a> on set, and  she also toned down her appearance for her role.

I loved his hair! The things actors do for certain  characters. But it wouldn&#8217;t be realistic if he was hanging out with hair  down to his shoulders in such a strict environment. If Rihanna has to  get rid of her flaming red color, he had to get a trim.</p>
