I think Jean Dujardin is great and don't doubt he deserved the Golden Globe.

Tinker Tailor is going to clean up, isn't it.

[steveuk]

It could, but it didn't make that much of a splash in the UK, no more so than other Brit/Brit-ish films in various categories.

Best Actor is probably going to Fassbender for example.

I'd like 'The Artist' to win Best Sound, just because the idea amuses me.

[Nick Thompson]

Would do so deservingly IMO. Both that and The Artist were fantastic.

[Chris D]

Would do so deservingly IMO. Both that and The Artist were fantastic.

In the end I thought Tinkor Tailer was solid, but the first hour is so plodding that I could never consider it a best picture of the year contendor. Great cast, well acted and shot, but that first hour is really, really dull.

I liked the first hour a lot more than the second.

To each their own, but it means that I agree; it doesn't deserve best picture at any awards ceremony.

I don't agree but I do see what you're saying. I think it does deserve the awards that aren't best film more, I'm a little suprised with it only getting one acting nomination (Although in the sense that having only seen a couple of the relevent movies I could have missed some great stuff).Never saw the TV show, but I know some people have said the exact same thing about that.

Resident Evil 5 takes product placement to a whole new level...

[Christian U]

Will they ever stop making those?

[brucegray666]

Fantastic, another Resi Evil movie. More shit that I have no intention of watching.

Aside - what's with the TRON 2 music in the trailer? I mean suing music from another movie isn't uncommon but that was almost as jarring as this:

[Steve Sensible]

Man, trailers were crap in the old days.

When people stop watching them.

[Rory Abel]

Man, trailers were crap in the old days.

I don't know, I think there are far more interesting, creative or stylish ones than most trailers now.

The studio has hit the pause button on the Camelot pic, which was supposed to open March 15, 2013; Bryan Singer's "Jack the Giant Killer 3D" moves from June 15, 2012, to March 22, 2013.

In a surprise move, Warner Bros. has taken David Dobkin's Arthur & Lancelot off its release calendar in order to iron out several issues, including a large budget.

The new take on the King Arthur legend, starring Kit Harington and Joel Kinnaman, was supposed to open March 15, 2013.

In a second major move, Warners moved back Bryan Singer's fantasy Jack the Giant Killer 3D by nine months to March 22, 2013. It had been set to open June 15, 2012. In a more minor tweak, New Line and Warners' Rock of Ages is being pushed back by two weeks, from June 1, 2012, to June 15, 2012.

Dobkin called talent and crew Wednesday night to inform them that Lancelot "wasn't looking good."

The studio says it is trying to address the movie's issues. "We are trying to make it work. It's not dead," says a Warners insider.

The reimagining of the King Arthur myth is new territory for Dobkin, a helmer best known for comedies including Wedding Crashers. After an exhaustive search, Harington and Kinnaman were picked to play King Arthur and his most loyal knight, Lancelot, respectively. The film is intended to be a lighthearted action pic, similar in tone to Warners' successful Sherlock Holmes franchise.

But the budget for the project soared from less than $100 million to $130 million, prompting Warners to ask for cuts. Adding to the complication was the untested box-office power of the two actors, both of whom have drawn raves for their television work but have yet to carry a movie.

If the film does move ahead, it could be without one or both actors because of scheduling issues (Dobkin was supposed to start shooting in spring 2012).

Resident Evil 5 takes product placement to a whole new level...

Even though it's a Sony-funded movie, I still wouldn't really call that product placement as it's a deliberate riff on an existing commercial.

I'm also surprised that anyone thought the re-use of the Tron Legacy music was even worthy of comment, because this kind of thing happens all the time. I have long since lost count of the number of trailers that used Lux Aeterna.

[Christian U]

When people stop watching them.

Man, I hate people. They suck.

That made me smile.

'Terminator' was an Orion film and its success caught them by surprise. I would guess they were trying to catch lightning in a bottle again. Thankfully they had another good film on their hands.

EDIT:
I love the 'Robocop' score;
