WALL-E Poster and Trailer News

Pixar has popped out a new poster for their upcoming flick, "WALL-E."



Upcoming Pixar also points out that a new trailer will hit on or around October 1st, and you can hit the link below for times and the location where you'll be able to view the trailer.

I'm so torn on this film...

On one hand, it's Pixar, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it. On the other hand, the idea of sitting through a film with little to no dialogue about robots in a dump gets me less than excited. It's like if Victoria Secret released a catalogue jammed with attractive women, but they were advertising the new line of gunny sack lingerie.

I've been on vaction... it's the best I could come up with.

New Bee Movie Images

Blackfilm has posted a bunch of new shots from Dreamworks' upcoming "Bee Movie"... uh... movie.



The film looks promising, and I'm glad they decided to take out the whole part where the bee falls in love with the main female character (think I'm kidding?). That really would have made explaining the whole "Birds and Bees" thing to kids that much more difficult.

DVD Season

According to Variety, the sequel to Sony's "Open Season" is going straight to DVD.



Though "Open Season" grossed just a so-so $85 million domestically and $105 million overseas, Sony felt the pic performed strongly in homevid and that, with a good follow-up story, it would help meet the goal of increasing SPA's output.

"We don't have a deep bench yet , so we're certainly looking to have more product available," said Sony Pictures Digital prexy Yair Landau. "We felt we had a really fun story and the marketplace wants more 'Open Season.'"

Sequel will focus on one of the original pic's supporting characters, Mr. Weenie, a domesticated dachshund who escapes to join the rebellion of forest animals.


While the idea of straight-to-DVD always scares the pants off of me, I liked the original film a great deal, and will probably wind up picking up the sequel, even if it does wind up being a Sony executive's turd stamped into the form of a DVD.

If anything, it will make for a great conversation piece.

Just hit up the iTunes store and type in "In the Rough." Tell em' BP sent you.

I Digg being Dugg!

Bleeding Pixels now has 100% more Digg functionality, so feel free to Digg away! Of course, I have no idea why you'd ever want to Digg a story that I probably stole from another site, but just in case the mood should strike you, the option is there!

"Better never than late," I always say.

Ratatouilled Breaks $200 Million!

It's official... Pixar's "Ratatouille" has now grossed over $200 million domestically.



Pixar couldn't continue the upwards trend of previous movies forever, but I have to think that they're still quite pleased with "Ratatouille," which just passed "Happy Feet" to move into the 9th spot in highest grossing computer animated films, behind "Cars."

It's sort of like how I couldn't continue to date supermodels the way I did. I'm dating a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader now, and that's still pretty good.

My wife is going to kill me.

Just in case you're wondering, "Ratatouille" has also raked in an additional $172 million in Foreign theaters. Unless you happen to live in one of those countries, in which case the domestic box office is actually the foreign box office to you and your box office is the domestic one.
