Centurion Gets Magnet-ized!

I was about to go to bed until I just read the good news that Magnet just announced they were distributing the new Neil Marshall film Centurion.

The news comes from Screen Daily

We here at Paper Spaceships love Neil Marshall’s previous 3 films, which are genre nuts wet dream. Dog Soldiers, The Descent and Doomsday would be amazing if made by three separate directors, but that the same man did them all makes it even more amazing.

Part of the wonderful Six-Shooter Films series, Magnet didn’t announce this sixth film because it wasn’t official yet. So I can’t wait to see some second century Romans invading Britain type of action.

Superman vs. Captain America! News About Both!

Now that I’ve gotten your attention, it’s an exciting day for comic book fans. Hollywood has tons of comic book movies being made and to hear that we might finally get a good Captain America movie not starring JD Salinger’s son makes us happy. People are kind of judging it already because it’s being directed by Mr. Joe “I took over The Wolfman 2 weeks before Mark Romanek decided to have a hissy fit” Johnston, and I feel bad that he gets such a bad rap. I kind of enjoyed it and hell, he made the fucking Rocketeer (which is in the right time period). … Continue Reading

Scott Pilgrim Fights His Way To Theaters!

In All His Glory

August 13th.

The day that everyone should be marking on their calendars right now.

It’s simple really. Not only is Scott Pilgrim based on a beloved graphic novel series by the fantastic and talented Bryan Lee O’Malley, but it’s also the new film by one of the talented young go getters in Hollywood today, Edgar Wright.

Yes, I just said ‘young go getter’. So sue me. I’m excited about this. Finally, a set date for one of the films we here at Paper Spaceships are looking forward to.

You should be too. Read the graphic novels. If you do buy them, tell them we sent you there. Maybe we’ll get a high five the next time we see them.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, August 13th, be there!

A Very Dark Road

Not really one for reading a book because the movie’s about to drop, I was so fascinated by the trailer for Cormac McCarthy’s The Road I had to break tradition. That, and the fact that Viggo Mortensen (great actor) and Charlize Theron (hot) are headlining the film. A Pulitzer Prize winner, The Road is simply a tale of a father and son traveling to a hopefully safer and warmer part of a post-apocalyptic America. Simple the plot may be, but what entails in their journey is certainly far from it. There are more than a few horrifying scenes here, and I feel comfortable saying The Road is one of the most bleak novels I have ever read. … Continue Reading

District 9 Promo Trailer

District 9 is something that I have been looking forward to for a while. Neill Blomkamp came onto my nerdar when he released his Halo short films. I quickly checked out his other shorts and was duly impressed. His ability to integrate CG elements into what looked like documentary footage was impressive and marked this young director as someone to watch. I’m glad he has finally gotten the chance at a big production (produced by another of my favorites Peter Jackson).

What follows is not a normal theatrical trailer but a production promo and it should be noted that it does give plot away, so if you want to go into this film cold and without knowledge of the plot do not click play.
