It’s not too long now until Monsters University hits cinemas (June 21st in the US and July 12th in the UK), so Disney-Pixar has decided to help up the hype with a final trailer, which is a little heavier on plot and features plenty of new footage.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Ever since college-bound Mike Wazowski (voice of Billy Crystal) was a little monster, he has dreamed of becoming a Scarerand he knows better than anyone that the best scarers come from Monsters University (MU). But during his first semester at MU, Mikes plans are derailed when he crosses paths with hotshot James P. Sullivan, “Sulley (voice of John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. The pairs out-of-control competitive spirit gets them both kicked out of the Universitys elite Scare Program. To make matters worse, they realize they will have to work together, along with an odd bunch of misfit monsters, if they ever hope to make things right.
‘Screaming with laughter and oozing with heart, DisneyPixars “Monsters University is directed by Dan Scanlon (“Cars, “Mater and the Ghostlight, “Tracy), produced by Kori Rae (“Up, “The Incredibles, “Monsters, Inc.) and features music from future Rock-and-Roll-Hall-of-Fameinductee and award winning composer Randy Newman (“Monsters, Inc., “Toy Story 3). The film opens in U.K. cinemas on July 12, 2013, and will be shown in Disney Digital 3D in select cinemas.’
You could be forgiven for thinking the only Hugh Jackman movie out this year is The Wolverine, but he’s also getting far more serious with Prisoners, and he’s got a great cast surrounding him to do it, including Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Viola Davis, Melissa Leo, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Paul Dano. Now we’ve got out first trailer, which makes the film look like it could be pretty intense.
While Pacific Rim will undoubtedly feature a lot of CGI, Guillermo Del Toro was keen to do plenty of practical shooting, and that included a four-storey high set of the robots’ head, which was able to move, shake and drop 15 feet so the actors could really react to action. The poor actors were also inside suits attached to enormous, complex machines to make things even more difficult. A new featurette explores that, and it’s well worth a look.
Ain’t Them Bodies Saints was one of the favourites at Sundance earlier this year and certainly got director David Lowery a lot of interest, who’s since shown interest in a Pete’s Dragon remake, as well the the Robert Redford flick The Old Man And The Gun, and Torso.
