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 .
