Today’s batch of Summer Movie Season 2012 paraphernalia includes images and posters from a somewhat belated threequel ( Men in Black III ), a retooling of a centuries-old tale ( Snow White and the Huntsman ), a revamping of a cash-cow comic book movie franchise ( The Amazing Spider-Man ), Schwarzenegger, Willis and Stallone shooting things up in The Expendables 2 - and G.I.

Check out the full gallery for another look at the new alien hardware in the third (oder, as the posters put it, cubed) Men in Black film, along with the namesakes for every one of the aforementioned titles – including a pic that showcases three iconic names in 1980s action entertainment, united together (and not simply trash-talking one another).

Last week’s announcement that a healthy chunk of The Wolverine is going to be shot in Australia left many fans wondering whether star Hugh Jackman’s homeland will be standing in for 1980s Japan in the delayed X-Men spinoff sequel. While attending the ongoing CinemaCon 2012, 20th Century Fox CEO Tom Rothman clarified that Wolverine 2 will still be filmed on location in Japan. However, the majority of the movie’s sound stage work is going to be conducted “Down Under.” Following the aftermath of the devastating Japan earthquake/tsunami in early 2011 – coupled with the departure of director Darren Aronofsky – The Wolverine , believed to be based primarily on Chris Claremont’s four-issue “Wolverine” comic book run about the adamantium-clawed mutant’s adventures in Japan, was left between a rock and a hard place.

25. Apr
During the seven years that’ve passed since Ang Lee won an Academy Award for directing Brokeback Mountain , the Taiwanese filmmaker has been operating well below the average moviegoer’s radar – making films like the steamy WW II espionage drama Lust, Caution and the hippie-centric dramedy Taking Woodstock .
