FACT: Fifteen films, repeat: FIFTEEN films have been accepted for consideration in the Best Animated Film (feature) category for the 83rd Academy Awards. The list: Alpha and Omega, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, Despicable Me, The Dreams of Jinsha, How to Train Your Dragon, Idiots and Angels, The Illusionist, Legend of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, MegaMind, My Dog Tulip, Shrek Forever After, Summer Wars, Tangled, Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, and Toy Story 3.
OPINION: As far as this blogger is concerned, they can let 568 films in. Does anyone believe TOY STORY 3 won’t win?
FACT: Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming WOLVERINE film will be titled THE WOLVERINE, and will not be a sequel in a “traditional sense”.
OPINION: It’s about time someone took the Wolverine character seriously. It’ll be interesting down the road to see if Marvel can wrestle the rights to the character away from the idiots at Sony; which would open the door for Wolvie to appear in the new Marvel-verse. After all, depending on which canon you believe in, Captain America’s shield was made out of adamantium ;)
FACT: Deadline Hollywood has been reporting that the third Christopher Nolan-helmed Batman film, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, will have two female leads; one a love interest, and the other a villain.
OPINION: Told you guys this was coming. Every aspect of THE DARK KNIGHT went in an opposite direction as BATMAN BEGINS in both style and substance. We haven’t seen this version of Bats square off against a female protagonist yet, so why not? And this Blogger’s money is on Catwoman; as Nolan’s Bat-verse is just too grounded for Poison Ivy.
What say you?
