20th Century Fox's Epic Review

This is a non-spoiler review, so just go ahead and read on...

Beyonce as the Voice of Queen Tara in the Animated Film 'Epic'

From the creators of the "Ice Age" and "Rio" series, "Epic" follows a teenager MK (voiced by Amanda Seyfried) who is transported into a secret forest world then embroiled in a battle between good and evil and has to protect a special flower pod to save the forest where Queen Tara (Beyonce) reigns protected by the Leafmen.

“Epic’s” world, which unites the familiar and the fantastic, is a forest unlike any we’ve seen before: tiny seeds look like boulders; rocks are the size of spiky mountains; flowers are gigantic and complex; and a butterfly is a nothing short of a flying tapestry.

Beyonce loved voicing Queen Tara in the new children's movie "Epic" — at least once she stopped crying. Queen B has gone from pop royalty to screen royalty, becoming the forest queen in an animated movie that she hopes her 15-month-old daughter Blue Ivy will be proud of one day.

Amanda Seyfried and Josh Hutcherson in an "Epic" 3D Journey

The 3D animated adventure “Epic” will take audiences on an amazing and magical journey through a secret world of hilarious creatures, visually spectacular locations and incredible aerial battles. The ground-breaking, photo-real animation from the creators of “Ice Age” and “Rio” will make audiences wonder if this hidden world might really exist…perhaps even in their own backyard.

“Epic’ is introduced through the eyes of Mary Katherine (she prefers M.K.) voiced by Amanda Seyfried, a smart, spirited and headstrong 17-year-old who finds herself on the journey of a lifetime. After returning to her childhood home to connect with her estranged father, Professor Bomba, M.K. loses patience with his endless stories of unseen people who live in the woods. But when she is magically transported into the Leafmen’s world, she gains a new perspective. To find her way home, M.K. must do more than believe in this world; she’ll have to help save it.

Amanda Seyfried is Linda Lovelace in well, LOVELACE

Amanda Seyfried was good in "Les Miserables" and after that movie she's going to probably going to go places with her next flick "Lovelace". 

I'm sure the fanboys have their collective eyebrows raised with this new flick. So anyway, there's no official synopsis for the film at the moment. Just a couple of images from different sources as well as a video/ documentary of sorts featuring Seyfried in a red bikini.

Les Miserables Review - Don't Forget to Bring Some Tissue

Just got home from the SUCCESSFUL press screening of Les Miserables from Solar Entertainment and I'm making this the MOVIE OF THE MONTH.

And I mean success because the movie actually played this time not like what happened in Resorts World (I'm still sore with RW over that, but not with Solar just to be clear). 

So anyway before we wander away, here's a bit of history. The movie was based on a play which was based on the novel by French writer Victor Hugo. It's about life, liberty, freedom and spirituality and finding your strength no matter the odds. 

Epic Trailer 2 Now Streaming

20TH Century Fox releases the latest international trailer of “Epic” from Chris Wedge based on the book by William Joyce “The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs.”

New Trailers for World War Z and Les Miserables

Two new trailers came out today that being the first trailer for World War Z and the international trailer for Les Miserables. 

This stars Brad Pitt and is based on the novel by Max Brooks. 

Brad Pitt plays a U.N. employee racing against time and fate as he travels the world trying to stop the outbreak of a deadly zombie pandemic, and his Plan B shingle is producing. Mireille Enos ("Big Love", "The Killing") plays his wife, a mother of two girls. Their co-stars include Eric West, Matthew Fox, David Morse, and James Badge Dale.

Anne Hathaway Sings in the Les Miserables Teaser Trailer

The beautiful Anne Hathaway sings in this new teaser trailer for "Les Miserables" where she plays the doomed single mom Fatine.

Believe it or not, Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" pretty much sealed the deal for me to become a writer. This was the last heavy drama stuff that I read in high school before graduation. Call it serendipity that this was also started by watching the live-action movie starring Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman and Uma Thurman. Sadly that version did not have any song. Just straight drama.

Before gearing away from the main topic, here's the teaser trailer for Les Miserables with Hathaway singing "I Dreamed a Dream".



From the star power alone this movie looks EPIC. You've got guys like Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, plus Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Plus we don't have to wait much longer since it has a December 2012 release date.
