Diablo 3 News

Apparently at Blizzcon they announced the fifth and final class for Diablo 3: The Demon Hunter. I haven't heard much about this game in a while... so any news is good news at this point, but none the less I think this is the most interesting class I've seen yet. Dual crossbows = WIN.
Read more about the new class here.

And here is the trailer...

Poor MGM

I expect the financial woes of MGM are fairly well known by now, but just in case I'll provide a quick recap. Basically MGM ran out of money, was taking too long to get new movies in theatres and the creditors came calling. MGM officially put all current production on hold, including the new Bond movie, as the company desperatly looked for a way out.

After denying a bid from an Indian film studio, MGM were approached by Spyglass Entertainment. Spyglass presented their deal to MGM which comprised of a detailed restructuring plan; a plan that would immediately get all MGM properties back on schedule. MGM's board of lenders merely needed to vote to determine if the Spyglass deal would be accepted. 

Sadly Lionsgate decided it wasn't done with MGM yet and has hit them with a counter-proposal, a deal that would merge MGM and Lionsgate and give MGM the controlling share in the new company. Now the board are faced with scrapping the Spyglass deal to puruse the Lionsgate deal, or just going with the Spyglass deal and dismissing the Lionsgate offer.

Regardless of what they decide it looks like this will just delay things even further. I just want them to get the Bond movie back on track, and they more they dick around with legal drama the less chance there is of that actually happening.

Red Band trailer for Faster

I was already pretty interested in this movie, but this trailer has sold it. The only fear I have is that perhaps some of the best scenes may be somewhat undermined by their appearance here. None the less I think this one will be worth seeing, the behind the scenes crew may be a tad questionable, but with The Rock in the lead role and Billy Bob playing against him, I think there is a pretty good movie here. Check out the red band trailer below.

Apparently Johnny Depp is a Tourist

I know I'm a little late to the game here, but it's a busy time of the semester. Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie star in this quirky thriller about a man in the wrong place at the wrong time. Seems cliche I know, but having seen the trailer several times it looks like a pretty entertaining movie. Then again studios are getting pretty creative with their trailers these days, even going so far as to shot scenes specifically for them. So this could just be a terrifically crafted trailer and the movie might suck, but somehow I highly doubt that. Trailer is embedded below, check it out!

The 4th Bourne movie will happen!!!

As a fan of both the movies and the novels, I'm very excited to see that there is actually some movement on the fourth movie. It seems that it is tentatively titled The Bourne Legacy and Tony Gilroy will direct. This is great news, Gilroy carries some weight with the franchise having penned the current Bourne trilogy. As a director, he made his debut with the fantastic Michael Clayton, so I have a pretty high degree of confidence in his abilities in that regard as well.

Screenrant gets the credit for this, I read it there first!
