Okay, I loved me some Cars and now Disney and Pixar have released the first trailer for Cars 2 which centers around the inaugural World Grand Prix, a spy plot involving mistaken identity (North by Northwest?), and plenty of awesome animation. Cars 2 will race into theaters, in both 2D and 3D, next June.
Disney has released the first photo for The Muppets triumphant return to theaters next Christmas.

The man who gave us his interpretation of 300 and Watchmen, and has been chosen to helm the next Superman movie, is all set with his first original tale. The first full-length trailer of Zack Snyder‘s Sucker Punch gives us a look into the mind of mental patient Emily Browning who creates an alternate world full of guns, explosions, samurai swords, dragons, robots, and young girls in skimpy outfits. Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Carla Gugino, Scott Glenn, and John Hamm also star. The craziness is set to begin next March.
Featuring scenes from the upcoming film Tron Legacy, here’s Grammy Award-winning electronic music duo Daft Punk‘s “Derezzed” Music Montage from the film’s official motion picture soundtrack.

It seems every few years Hollywood execs get together to delute a beloved Dr. Seuss tale with an overly long, often insipid, adaptation. (Anyone remember How the Grinch Stole Christmas?) Critics bemoan, audiences are split, and the film is quickly forgotten… until the process begins again a couple of years later. (Anyone remember The Cat in the Hat?)
The tale of The Lorax is my favorite Seuss story. I have very mixed feelings for the animated adaptation that lengthens the original tale and throws in some unnecessary song and dance numbers to what is a moral lesson concerning the effects of unchecked industrialization and greed on nature and the environment. I’m even less sure of a full-length feature starring Ed Helms, Rob Riggle, Zac Efron, and Danny DeVito as the voice of the Lorax.
If not ruined, embellished, dumbed-down, or lengthened and stretched too far, the tale could give us a great fable with a lesson every more important today than when the book was first published. Then again, it could be The Cat and the Hat all over again.
