TRAILER: International Prometheus trailer clocks in at 3-minutes

Posted on by

I hope 20th Century Fox doesn’t release as much promotional material as Disney did with The Avengers.  I’d much rather have bits and pieces dished out as a slow buildup.  Of course if the studio wants to release more three minute plus long trailers, I’m not going to complain too much.

MOVIES: Has the Fantastic Four reboot found a director

Posted on by

It’s no surprise that 20th Century Fox is all in for a Fantastic Four reboot.  If the studio doesn’t show it is in the process of making a new film, the rights revert back to Marvel/Disney, who would no doubt do something awesome with the franchise.  But the property is still at Fox, and the studio may have found a director.

LEGAL: Wolverine pirate gets year in prison

Posted on by

While it may have taken longer than Hollywood would have liked, the man who illegally uploaded a workprint copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine was sentenced to one year in federal prison. To date, this is one of the longest and hardest penalty handed down for Internet piracy, and no doubt has the SOPA supporters jumping up and down with delight.

“We believe this is the longest sentence ever imposed for a defendant charged with uploading a single copyrighted film to the internet,” assistant United States Attorney Lisa E. Feldman, who works with the FBI’s computer and intellectual property crimes section, told Variety.

Fox claims the movie was downloaded over 15 million times, and cost the studio millions in lost revenue.  With recent talk of the Stop Online Piracy Act, currently in discussion in Washington, D.C., and the fact that Megaupload.com was the site that Gilberto Sanchez uploaded the movie to, this is just going to add more fuel to the fire of the online piracy debate.
