Clint Eastwood defends conservatives in Hollywood

Clint Eastwood Article

So Clint East wood said on the Fox News channel that there are a lot of conservatives in Hollywood who are afraid to express their views on the political campaign . He says these people feel this because they are afraid of losing work . This article caught my eye because it seems celebrities want to continue into the political debates . 

As a student this affects me greatly because what if Clint Eastwood the big celebrity he is attracts voters for the wrong reason ad they end up voting for Mitt Romney , A lot of budget cuts would happen under Romney's presidency . As a future film maker this effects me heavily because if I were to say get famous people would want me broadcasting my opinion and only looking on how im famous not my actual opinion . As a consumer this also affects me because I hate having to deal with all these celebrities on TV and seeing them on ads on the internet . Now I have to ask the industry are they finally done with the celebrities or is it going to be a continuous trend . 

Clint East Wood ... Really

Clint Eastwood

Clint Eastwood has recently filmed a new commercial for presidential candidate Mitt Romney . It was said to have been filmed in his house , it was released to be aimed at battle ground states for Mitt Romney , it features Clint Eastwood's narration as well as him appearing on screen .  This is important because more and more people will fall just for Clint Eastwood .

 The impact of this article as a student is big because Romney wants to cut the school budget and this would make my education worse . As a future film maker this is also bad because I could be stuck to presidential elections which I just wouldn't want to do with my career . As a consumer this is not as bad but it just more crap that's on tv . It really makes you think , when will more unnecessary commercials like this stop , will it continue or will people finally see that the commercials are so biased .

Law to protect child actors

California governor helps child actors

Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill which will not registered sex offenders represent minors in the entertainment industry . It requires background checks for managers, publicist , photographers and others with access to young performers. The bill has gained popularity because of the recent cases of sex offenders with young actors . Jason James Murphy was accused of being a sex offender on the set of Super 8. This caught my eye because i was a child actor .

As a student this is awesome because that means if i were to get into the business of say acting again i would know that I am protected because of various background checks on the people im working with . As a future film maker this is also awesome because I know that the people im working with will be clean and that no one will have any legal issues . As a consumer this is also good because the actual actors on screen will be protected and I never want to seem harm to anyone . My questions for the industry will there be anymore background checks on anyone or will this be it ? 

Innocence of Muslims

Anti-Islamic Film

People have been really riled up by the new indie movie Innocence of Muslims . The film with a  cast of 40 people and  some simple pyrotechnics has been blamed for starting riots world wide . It was filmed at Blue Cloud Movie Ranch in Santa Clarita . The film permit has also been a serious debate . Los Angelas County authorities had asked Film LA not to release the permit . On Thursday they distributed the permit with information redacted such as , names , and addressing information. Some people of the crew claim that they were tricked into doing the film . This is important because this film really goes out there and bashes Muhammad and I wanted to see the permit .

As a student this affects me because people do get tricked into some movies that really ruin them so I have to be careful on what I work on . As a future film maker , permits really mean everything to a movie cause you cant shoot with out them and im assuming there going to make it a lot more tough to get one after this .  As a consumer this really could hurt some good indie film makers because of the permit being harder to acquire . My question is if the Director realizes hes hurting all of us with this . 

Poor Old Godzilla .

Godzilla

Godzilla will now be rebooted in 3D. The reboot will be scheduled for 2014 of May. Gareth Edwards will be directing the film , he is known for the Expendables and the Dark Night Trilogy.  Legendary and Warner Bros have said that they will return it to its epic roots with a gritty , realistic actioner . Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni as well as Roy Lee will produce the film . This article caught my eye cause I love Godzilla and I thought oh no not a Godzilla remake .

To me as a student this impacts me because soon I will have to learn to not use the brain I have to make new ideas because the future will be filled of remakes . As a future filmmaker this really saddens me because the industry is just becoming remake after remake and soon it will be expected of Filmmakers . As a consumer i despise this , I absolutely hate 3D and I don't like how there remaking Godzilla . I have to question the industry , why the remakes and why the god awful 3D improve it before you use it .  

Jake Eberts

Jake Eberts

Jake Eberts died in his home town of Montreal this morning at the age of seventy one . He was a renowned film producer and was credited for many films thirty seven of them winning Oscars . He was known for financing indie movies which would got be accepted by big movie officials . Denys Arcand says " He took film making seriously . He felt cinema should be used for the betterment of man kind." Ebert was developing the IMAX documentary Jerusalem slated for release in 2013 and also a sixty million dollar project in China .

This article caught my eye because I have seen his name credited in a movie I have seen before and I was assuming it was the same person .

This impacts me as a student because people like Ebert believed in supporting Indie films , if one day as a student somebody like him could of helped me , but sadly with Ebert gone that likeliness goes down . As a future film maker this affects me severely because I have less chances of being green lighted because without people like Ebert , it will be harder . As a consumer this effects me because there will be less indie movies around to watch , Ebert was known for supporting indie films and helping them get to big screens . My question is when will people start realizing that indie films can be really amazing if they are supported . 

Robocop Remake

New Robocop

Michael Keaton plans to play in the new Robocop remake . He is going to play Raymond Sellars and he has actually replaced Hugh Laurie , the say Micheal Keaton is the last puzzle piece to the film . Keaton joins Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson and Abbie Cornish . He says he cant wait to get back on the streets with Alex Murphy . The movie is said to be opening August 9th 2013 

This is important because I have mixed feelings with Micheal Keaton I liked his Bat Man, but I didn't like him in toy story . To me as a student this doesn't really effect me to much . As a Future Film maker though it does effect me a little bit more because if remakes like this keep getting popular , then one day sadly everything might be a remake and no originality . As a consumer i don't mind to much because I was never really interested in Robocop , and to have Michael in it kinda makes me less interested . This raises the  question when will they stop making remakes of movies that were fine on their own  . 

No 3-D Glasses

A group of researchers in South Korea are working on a way to have 3-D without the 3-D glasses . What they do is that they take each of your eyes, sitting at a slightly different angle, have some of the screen blocked and some of the screen visible. The movie has the right-eye and left-eye images interleaved in vertical columns with one another. This then creates a 3-D effect at the right angle . The problem is , is that if you not at the right angle it will ruin the whole effect .  it also only airs the movie in really low resolution and will not look good when played live .

This is important because i hate 3-D it to me is an annoying gimic that needs to die and i hope they don't find a way to make all movies in 3-D like this . As a student this could impact me in the future because ill have to learn how to make movies in this way which will just be an extra chore . As a future film maker it will effect me severely because if the gimic grows large enough all movies will have to be shot in 3-D which will then make the movie to me worse . As a a consumer this will effect me horribly I hate 3-D and to make it bigger will make me not see some movies anymore and will limit what i see . this now raises the question will 3-D take over the consumers and will the gimic grow any bigger . 

Movies losing money because of China

The article is talking about how China is releasing The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider Man on the same dates so that American movies lose money . They lose money because of the fact movies get a big chunk of there money on the opening day , since they are both opening on the same day they lose money because they have to split the money . Especially if they are the same Genre because they have the same type of movie goers going to two different movies . For example the movie Ice Age brought in $51 Million while Lorax brought in only $1 Million . This article caught my eye in particular because of the fact Dark Night Rises , being opened on the same day with other movies will lose money and me myself really liking  this movie is sad to see it lose money for stupid reasons .

This article to me as a student wont really affect me , but as a future film maker it will really hurt sales in China and it will make me lose profit . This will then hurt my chances to make more movies for people . As a consumer it will affect me severely because of the fact that the directors wont bring in as big of a profit so they sometimes wont get the money to make another movie . Say with Lorax , It gained only $1Million while it had $71 million in America .This then brings up the idea of how long will companys deal with this . Warner Bros has already tried to delay there movies but failed , and other companys don't want to oppose in fear that they will offend China .
