This more than likely does not come as a surprise since every big movie these days seems to get the 3D treatment, but THR is reporting that the new Spider-Man reboot will be, you guessed it, 3D. Since Avatar has grossed over $2 billion I would say it is safe to assume any blockbuster action flick will be 3-D. Along with the 3D news is reports that the film has a new release date which has been changed from the original May 2011 release. Looks like the new Spider-Man movie will hit theaters July 3rd 2012.

The first big holiday film of the season arrived this weekend to the tune of $30 million. The Jim Carrey Robert Zemeckis collaboration about the classic Charles Dicken’s tale took top honors at the weekend box office. The 3D animated movie made $30 million Friday – Sunday which was a solid debut, however it was below industry expectations. With the added cost of IMAX tickets and digital 3D features, this film had an advantage to rake in more cash. The one bright spot for this film is that it’s early November release will mean a long run through the holiday season. The IMAX version will be in theaters through the 17th of December when Avatar takes over on the 18th. For a full breakdown of the November 6th-8th box office read on!

This past July at Comic-Con director Robert Zemeckis treated fans to an extended look at his holiday release of A Christmas Carol. The 3D computer animated movie tells the classic Dicken’s tale of Ebeneezer Scrooge who is visited by three ghosts that take him on a journey that will change his outlook on life. This weekend the first official trailer for the Jim Carrey led movie debuted online via Yahoo Movies. Similar to The Polar Express and Beowulf, Zemeckis has made a third film with the same 3D computer technology that captures the look of the actors on screen. I am not sure how sold I am on the technology. I would have liked to see a live action version with Jim Carrey but visually this looks amazing. Check out the trailer after the jump.

There is a rumor circulating the net via Aint it Cool News that Paramount is considering releasing Iron Man 2 in 3D. There is a one minute clip of the film in 3D that is apparently amazing and Paramount is looking into how much it will cost to make Iron Man 2 entirely in 3D. They are even going as far as looking into converting the first Iron Man into 3D. I have my reservations with taking a movie like Iron Man and tinkering with it in this manner. I have always felt that 3D movies are all about the gimmick. Most of them are not very good (Monsters vs Aliens, My Bloody Valentine) and some are amazing (Pixar’s Up is all that comes to mind.) The idea of taking a good movie like Iron Man and presumably Iron Man 2 is a risk that I don’t believe Paramount and director Jon Favreau should jump into.

Variety is reporting that another beloved book by the late, great Dr. Seuss will be headed to the big screen. The Lorax will be the next childrens book to be adapted into a feature length film. Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment plan to creat the move with CG and in a 3D format. Dr. Seuess’ story about, oddly enough, the environment, and the trek of the Lorax (a creature which speaks on behalf of all the trees.) Like most Dr. Seuss books, The Lorax teaches a lesson. It is a fable about respecting our surroundings and understanding the impact we have on the environment. The metaphors in this story are really vivid throughtout the text.

A huge announcement was made during the Avatar panel today: the film will have a free 15 minute long 3D sneak peek in theaters and Imax screens all around the country on August 21st. Not much is known at this point, but from what James Cameron was saying, audiences will get to see what he has been working on for the past 4 years about 4 months before the film is released.

A lot of hype has been building around James Cameron’s latest film, Avatar. Considering he has not done a movie since Titanic, which launched the careers of two of Hollywood’s most successful stars, visually immersed the audience with cutting edge graphics, and made enough money to bailout the auto industry, a lot of questions have come with the excitement. Will it live up to his previous sci-fi work, which includes The Abyss, Aliens, and Terminator? Does he fulfill his self made promise to always keep his work ahead of the curve in terms of graphics and impressive visuals? Is Sigourney Weaver going to be in it? The answer to all of these is yes.

The fourth Final Destination movie clearly wasn’t sure what to call itself, so those behind the movie decided to add “the” to it’s title therefore calling it “The Final Destination.” The title is unimportant, as is this movie in general, which takes us to a Nascar race track. Seriously? Of all the places to have a movie, the writers for FD 4 decide it needs a Nascar theme? The first movie was clever. It involved an airplane crashing and had a unique premise. The sequels which followed were terrible and this franchise has now sunk rock bottom with this trailer for FD 4. Check it out and tell us what you think.

We have a new poster today for a movie which doesn’t hit theaters until this holiday season! Jim Carrey stars in Robert Zemeckis’ A Christmas Carol.

Reports from Forbes are beginning to suggest that the fourth installment in the Spider-Man franchise may be seen in 3D. Forbes recently asked the co-chairs of Sony Pictures, Amy Pascall and Michael Lynton about seeing a fourth Spidey movie in 3D. There answers were vague, yet were enough information to have the internet going nuts over seeing this movie suffer from a stupid gimmick. When asked about the 3D rumor Pascal answered, “Could be,” while Lynton added, “People are paying a premium to see movies in 3-D and that’s a very big deal. It’s never been done before that someone says you have to pay more to see Spider-Man than a romantic comedy.”

Disney announced today at Showest that the upcoming re-release of Toy Story and Toy Story 2, in 3D, will be done as a double feature. The features will be released October 2, 2009 and are scheduled to only be a limited two week engagement. If this re-release is successful, which I would assume it would be, it would make sense for Disney to expand that two week run. Originally Toy Story 3D was scheudled to be released in October with Toy Story 2 3D scheduled for the following February. We have also learned that the double feature will be your first oppurtunity to see the trailer for Toy Story 3! The third movie is slated to drop June 18, 2010.
