After a week of posts making reference to Universal not showing us anything about Oblivion they put out a trailer that does not fail to impress. Cruise stars as Jack Harper, one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete. Living in and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything…

Ohhh, Look…Teaser Poster For Joseph Kosinski's 'Oblivion'
Earlier this week we shared some, what we thought at the time were, concept artwork for Joseph Kosinski’s sci-fi thriller Oblivion. Well as we soon found out, it was actually unreleased images from the Oblivion graphic novel that was cancelled. Still it was something to gravitate toward since we are about 4 months away from the film’s release and, to date, had seen exactly zip. Well that all changed today as the first official teaser poster has recently been released. It’s grand and very Prometheus inspired but still a little dull. Have a look for yourselves… Jack Harper (Cruise) is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of…

Sweet (Announcement) Trailer…'Star Trek Into Darkness'
In case you weren’t aware, J.J. Abrams knocked his reboot of the Star Trek franchise out of the park. Suffice to say he had some mighty big expectations for a follow up. Admittedly a number of film fans (Star Trek or otherwise) weren’t too impressed with the poster that was released earlier this week, but have faith in that Bad Robot dear friends because this intro teaser trailer will blow you away with a capital Bwuuuuuum! With Abrams again at the helm, he brings back he fantastic cast of the Starship Enterprise which includes Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin and John Cho. So fire up this bad boy, fyi…

Ohhh, Look…Awesome Super Hero Silhouette Artwork
This week we see the Blu-Ray release of the final chapter in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. 2012 has been a really great year for comics/super hero films. While The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises won over fans worldwide and joined the billionaire’s club, that Marvel reboot of questionable necessity (aka The Amazing Spider-Man) was no slouch either. So now that the box office battle is over, we fans can return to waiting for the next installment of our favorite franchises (sorry Nolan Batman fans, doesn’t look like we’ll see Bale take up the cowl again) and, if it suits your fancy, dressing up like your favorite heroes. Well even if you don’t do the latter, the kid…

Off the Shelf…’Finding Nemo 3D’
Finding Nemo is essentially a family drama combined with a new spin on an Abbott & Costello road movie. It’s also deep, affecting and a story about a father getting to know his son, and vice versa (even though they are apart for the whole movie). As Pixar religiously puts story ahead of the effects, what’s on display here is a very touching family element that proves more impacting with each viewing. Sure everyone gets emotionally invested in these characters but it’s chalked up to three factors; lovable design, top notch voice acting and finally Thomas Newman’s brilliant score. Newman (who would work together with Stanton again on WALL-E) creates a theme that is so finely tailored and…

You Didn't Hand In Your Term Paper Wazowski…'Monsters University' Teaser Posters
Pixar and director Pete Docter‘s wonderful film Monsters, Inc. scared up lots of laughs and smiles with its heart-warming story back in 2001. While the studio has had success with sequels, this charming film had an ending that no one in their right mind would mess with. So what’s an animation powerhouse like Pixar to do? Well they decided to take this story back a little bit. In this “prequel”, the film will give us a a look at the relationship between Mike and Sulley during their days at the University of Fear — when they weren’t necessarily the best of friends. And these two teaser posters (and teaser trailer) give us a hint of what…

Ohhh, Look…Kermit and Cee Lo Green's "Bein' Green" Duet
We don’t usually report on things that air on TV (although we are considering focusing on one or more high profile series next year) but this was just too good to pass up. Last night, Muppet front man Kermit the Frog and friends made a special appearance on the hit NBC show “The Voice” where His Greeness sat down for a very special duet with one of the four hosts Cee Lo Green…see what they did there? While it was a subtle plug for their mutual contribution to his Christmas album “Cee Lo’s Magic Moment“, their rendition of the classic Kermit song was as charming and fun as it was nostalgic. For…

Bryan Singer Reveals Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart Will Return For 'Days of Future Past'
Bryan Singer thrilled the film (and comic) world when it was announced that he would step up for the next X-Men film after Matthew Vaughn bowed out. All things considered, X-Men: First Class was an amazing success and Vaugn would have probably done just a good a job with his second at bat. But that was then and now that Singer is back he’s going to try on even bigger pants than he started with more than a decade ago. As the premise for the latest X-Men film is quite a departure from the grounded narrative with social commentary that Singer started the series with, the themes are still familiar and relevant.…

Informative Hour Long Filmmaking Master Class with Ang Lee
From the tweets and posts and finally the glowing review of Ang Lee‘s latest film, it should be clear that we at GoSeeTalk loved Life of Pi (check out our review here). The adaptation of the popular Yann Martel novel is a shining example of why we go to cinemas in the first place and is a reminder of what film/cinema is, can and should be. While I won’t get into much more lengthy praise here, I instead turn you to this video below where Lee discusses the process of making the visual/narrative benchmark that is Life of Pi. It’s a landmark film that really pushes storytelling to new heights and amazing to hear him…
