Quentin Tarantino is Brainy Smurf
Thursday, March 11th, 2010
Yeah…you read the headline right, of all the geeks in the world to cast as the voice of Brainy Smurf, why did it have to be Tarantino!? I am only guessing that he won a bet with the producer or something and wanted the job.
So far we have Jonathan Winters as Papa Smurf, Katy Perry as Smurfette and Neil Patrick Harris in an undisclosed role. This is really shaping up to be an all-star (if rather dysfunctional) cast.
Film to be released in 2011, surprised it’s not 2012 since that is when the world is supposed to end.
Secret HD Tron Legacy Trailer
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010For those of you who have been living under a rock, a sequel to one of my childhood favorite films will be released this December, Tron Legacy. The studio has decided to keep things viral right now when it comes to information about the film. There was a scavenger hunt going on last month that encompassed 25 cities here in the USA. Its good to see them doing more interactive marketing campaigns, it should spell for good ratings when the film is released.
This is yet another film being released in 3D, but from the trailer (especially in HD) I think it will make a great 3D experience. But the big news is that someone has ‘found’ the HD Tron Legacy trailer for the film and posted it. So follow the link and watch it before the site gets taken down!
