It has been a long time since there was some active development on The Dark Tower the massive adaption of Stephen King’s story into 3 movies and 2 Television Seasons. After Universal dropped out of the project (despite not dropping out of Battleship) the series seemed doomed, but now there is hope along the beam:
The new James Bond movie is currently shooting (directed by Sam Mendes) and from set-photos we have a picture of Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, The Dark Tower (hopefully)) in policeman disguise.
The Ghost Rider is back! After having sold his soul to the Devil Johnny Blaze (Nicolas Cage) is back to punish the sinners – but this time he goes after everyone, even the people looking at the THREEE DEEE skull in the theater. After all the Ghost Rider is now punishing speeding tickets and illegal movie downloads!
Last week I went into a screening of John Carter (previously titled John Carter of Mars) and thankfully I only paid 7.5 € instead of 12 € for the Austrian excuse for an Imax screening. John Carter is a massive 250 million dollars undertaking – intended to become a new franchise. Directed by Andrew Stanton (writer: Toy Story 1-3, Monsters Inc., writer/director: Finding Nemo, A Bug’s Life, Wall-E) there is a fair deal of talent behind this project. The question was if it has paid off…
After a disappointing poster Marvel revealed the final trailer for the upcoming team-up movie The Avengers.

Some thoughts after the jump:
We have two advertisements that could not be more different: one is viral and therefore very discrete about its intentions, the other is a giant straightforward poster:
So the Oscars are over in a pretty unremarkable ceremony and I just want to get some short impressions off my chest (head over for the full list of winners)
Hugo is a fairy tale about two children finding their place in the world directed by a man who is known for: killing his characters, butchers, mental institutions, guys urinating in glasses, mafia bombing, stalkers, boxers, mentally deranged taxi drivers…
