"I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing."
Director Lee Unkrich has confirmed the rumor that Michael Keaton will be voicing a role in the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures/Pixar feature, Toy Story 3.
The actor will voice the character "Ken" in the film.
Set for release on June 18th, 2010, the film brings back the entire cast, including Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, Estelle Harris, John Ratzenberger, Ned Beatty and Michael Keaton.
A new character from Toy Story 3 is hidden in a shot of Pixar’s Up. It pink teddy bear above that can be seen under the bed of a child who is watching Carl’s house fly by her apartment window.
Pixar Collector have the news that the character is called Lotso. /Film are also saying that Lotso could actually be the main bad guy in the film. I could see that working, but I wonder who they will get to voice him.
Who can you hear as the voice of an evil pink cuddly teddy bear?
Warner Bros has pushed back the announced release of Martin Campbell’s DC comic book adaptation of The Green Lantern, from 2010 to 2011. The film was originally due out on 17th December 2010. Now it will be out on 17th June 2011, a week before Pixar’s Cars 2.
Releasing it during the summer blockbuster season would suggest that the studio is really getting behind it. Plus the extra time they now have to make it can only be a good thing. I really hope they have lots of space bound adventures and big up the sci-fi side of Hal Jordan's adventures.
The $150 million film was hoping to begin production in mid-September at Fox Studios in Sydney Australia. Yesterday I posted that Bradley Cooper was close to being cast as Hal Jordan, but the producers still haven’t made any final decisions. The new date might give the production a bit more time to finalize the cast.
What and who do you want to see in a Green Lantern film.
Everyone knows that the stork delivers babies, but where do the storks get the babies from? The answer lies up in the stratosphere, where cloud people sculpt babies from clouds and bring them to life. Partly Cloudy is about Gus, a lonely and insecure grey cloud, who is a master at creating "dangerous" babies like crocodiles, porcupines, and rams.
As Gus's creations become more and more rambunctious, his loyal delivery stork partner, Peck, must work harder and harder. How will Peck manage to handle both his hazardous cargo and his friend's fiery temperament?
Partly Cloudy will shown in front of Up in theaters on May 29th
By tying thousands of balloon to his home, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn't alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.
As part of on-going promotion for Up, Pixar has debuted theAdventures with Carl and Russell series (now called UPisodes). The first video is called Animal Calls. These videos are content created purely for promotional purposes and are not scenes from the movie itself. The second shows us what happens when Carl gets a scratch and Russell comes to the rescue with his Wilderness Explorers first aid kit.
Lucky people who own stock in Disney got a couple of sneak peaks at upcoming features according to Dark Horizons.
A first real glimpse of Johnny Depp's look as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s upcoming “Alice in Wonderland” kicked off the Walt Disney Company’s annual shareholders meeting on Tuesday.
The Carpetbagger had a description: "Victorian top hat, crimped hair that sticks straight out, and swirl of brightly colored make-up on his eyes, cheeks and lips that resembled the blur of a pinwheel blowing in the breeze".
A 3-D screening of "Up" along with early footage of "Toy Story 3" which was deemed "jaw-droppingly good" by an attendee were screened as well during a visit to Pixar’s corporate campus in Emeryville on Monday.
I can't wait to see a photo to go with that description of Johnny Depp's character.
The picture I used on this post is just one I found on Google. Nothing to do with Depp's version of the character.
