Its only around 400ish days away so I might as well talk about it.
So Hotel Transylvania 2 as you all may know or not know is happening and is due for a release on September 25th 2015.It was first talked about in October 2012 from Genndy Tartakovsky and then in November is when Sony had greenlit it and the release date was announced.When it was first announced Genndy said he wouldn't be returning to direct it since he was (and still is) directing a movie about popeye (coming out in 2016). We didn't really hear much about it in 2013 as Sony was finishing up The smurfs 2 and Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2.Then in March 2014 Sony announced its upcoming slate of films and they announced that Genndy Tartakovsky would be returning to direct the film and they also announced that he is working on a project called can you imagine.Also Adam Sandler and Robert Smigel are writing the screenplay, since Sandler voices Dracula I assume he is returning to voice him.
So very little information on this film has been released but little by little they are giving us detail on this film.Not even the plot has been announced yet what could this sequel be about? Also in June 2014 Selena Gomez (voice of Mavis) posted on her instagram indicating she has begun recording for Hotel Transylvania 2, she also made a caption saying Mavis is getting big. I wonder if she will be big as big hero 6.
Speaking of which we are getting a new trailer this Tuesday (makes sense since planes:fire and rescue is coming out).I wonder what the new Trailer will be like?
Anyway back to Hotel Transylvaina 2.So with that said Selena Gomez is returning to voice Mavis in HT2 which is pretty awesome because I absolutely love Mavis and this makes me think Mavis will be the main protagonist this time around, Dracula was the protagonist in the first film .Also a page of it on Wikipedia shows that David Spade is returning to voice the invisible man but its Wikipedia so it could be wrong.
And this was also found at this years licensing expo
Also Sony has a few videos on their channel with some info on the film including storyboards
which you can find here
Other than that nothing else really but I'm really hoping for more information to be shown sooner or later since this films comes out in roughly 14 months I assume we'll get a trailer in early 2015.So that is all I have to say about Hotel Transylvania 2 I am excited for it.
Now that I have gotten HT2 out of the way I am now going to talk more about Big hero 6
Aside from the new trailer coming out on Tuesday a recent promo video shows that Hiros nurse robot Baymax can talk as seen in the video below
I am personally fine with this since I think his voice really works well with him especially that I assume he will have the armor on through out most of the film and it works for me and maybe he'll be funny too and plus he talks in the comics so that makes sense.I really think Baymax is a cool looking robot with or without the armor of course I prefer the armored Baymax since he looks awesome and what a japanese fighting robot should be whereas the soft plushy Baymax looks like a typical cute Disney robot (he feels like a character from WALL-E as a matter of fact) but thats not a bad thing since this is a Disney animated film but the overall the soft plushy Baymax is very cute whereas the battle armored Baymax looks awesome. Again like I said before I am excited for this film I think its going to be awesome!
Thats all I have for today better keep your fingers crossed for more information on Hotel Transylvania 2.
In this post I will talk about Disneys 54th animated feature Big Hero 6 coming out on November 7th.
Anyway I am very excited for this film, it is based on a marvel comic which is something Disney has never done before since they own Marvel now. Big hero 6 is one of the lesser know marvel superhero teams not many people know what it is.The teaser trailer was a lot of fun it was better than the teaser for frozen,it reminds me of the incredibles teaser .I am expecting a lot out of the film. I am expecting it to be cool, fun and heartwarming. The plot sounds very emotional since it involves a death and I'm sure it will be really emotional. look at the recent Disney films Tangled,Wreck it Ralph and Frozen they were all emotional and they were also fun and heartwarming too. personally I think Big hero 6 will be better than Frozen since it has a more emotional plot and its more of a fresh idea from Disney but I still really liked Frozen non the less (I even own it on blu ray).Anyway I am liking the look of the film, the animation is great looking too.Also I am excited to hear that Hiro and Baymax (the main characters) are going to be playable characters in Disney infinity 2.0 edition.
So far we know that T.J Miller will voice Fred, Jamie Chung will voice Gogo Tomago and Maya Rudolph my guess she will voice Honey lemon and there are rumors that Freddie Highmore,Josh Hutcherson and Samuel L Jackson will in it too.
I think the film will be a hit at the box office considering the positive buzz the teaser has been receiving so far I predict it will end up somewhere between Wreck-it Ralph and Tangled numbers so around $500 million worldwide or more.If its really good and is well marketed then $700 million at the latest for me.I also think it will be a critic acclaim film much all of their recent films.I really think that Big Hero 6 will spawn a new franchise for Disney that people will love.Thats all I have to say about BH6 I hope your excited for it as much as I am.
that's right folks we got a (official) image at Hotel Transylvania 2 which comes out on September 25th 2015 and we still don't know what the film will be about nor who will direct the film but I'm sure they will announce more later on since the film doesn't come for over a year. As far as box office predictions go this film could either under perform or be successful I doubt this sequel will bomb who knows if Sony markets the film extremely well it might just perform like Despicable me 2 and it has no competition until the peanuts movie comes out.What are your thoughts on this film do you think it will be successful or it will it under perform. Stay tuned for posts from me.
Hey everyone sorry for the long hiatus I am back with another review and this time it's on a movie that came out last year which I happen to see earlier this year (January to be exact) and since it's a new year I will be doing movie reviews kinda different. Anyway for the movie I am review I'm sure most of you know the classic universal monsters such as Dracula,Frankenstein,the mummy,the wolfman,the invisible man and others well last year Sony Pictures animation brought a movie featuring them in which the movie is Hotel Transylvania. .
WARNING this review may contain spoilers of the film for those who haven't seen the film please do not continue reading the review for those who have seen it please continue
plot (spoilers)
The plot basically involves Dracula who builds a hotel for monsters after his wife dies mainly to keep his daughter safe thinking that humans are bad .Later things change when a young man arrives at the hotel and falls in love with his daughter.Dracula must do something before things get worse.
facts or trivia
Genndy Tartakovsky
the film was in development since 2006, as sony was going through so many directors until Genndy Tartakovsky took over as the sixth director to direct his feature directorial debut. Genndy Tartakovsky if you didn't know was known for shows on cartoon network such as Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Star Wars: Clone Wars, and Sym-Bionic Titan and I heard he is going to be doing a popeye movie coming out in 2016. He did a nice job on directing the film.
characters
In this segment I will be talking about the main character,the villain and my favorite character.
the main character is Count Dracula, who is the owner of Hotel Transylvania, and is a over protective father he is voiced by Adam Sandler. The villain is Quasimodo, who is a gourmet chef and used to be the Hunchback of Notre Dame who desires to cook humans he is voiced by Jon Lovitz and I didn't realize that it's the same person that voices the radio from the brave little toaster ('listen to this') so that's a plus.Now for my favorite character it's hard to decide which one is my favorite because I have two being Murray the mummy voiced by Cee lo Green he was by far the funnest character in the whole movie! but my other favorite is Dracula's sweet and beautiful daughter Mavis voiced by Selena Gomez.Also she was supposed to be voiced by Miley Cyrus but she was replaced by Selena Gomez. There are so many more characters in this movie but I just mention these ones.There are others including Frankenstein, The invisible man, the werewolf and so many more.
other things to talk about
don't feel bad
The animation is very nice it kinda reminds me of the animation in Megamind. The comedy is fantastic (or should I say fangtastic) but some of it I could had gone without (farting,peeing etc) but thank god we don't see a ton of it in the film. The story is decent, its not bad nor is it great. The writing in my opinion it's not as bad as people are saying (trust me Rebirth of Mothra 2's writing is much worse which was one of the flaws it had which was a mediocre film) But the writing isn't oscar worthily material. And the film is done by Sony pictures animation
critics
The film got mixed reviews with a 43% on Rotten Tomatoes (seriously?) this movie is great! why does it have a 43% but people who aren't critics like myself loved it.\and it also has a 47 on metacritic *sigh* because of the reception this film got from critics I really dislike critics now.
box office
the film was a success it made about $148 million on it's $85 million budget in the U.S (the same amount Megamind made back in 2010)
and worldwide it made over $350 million which was more than Megamind's worldwide total.
thoughts on when I saw it
I first saw this movie on January 19 2013 at Cinemark Warren 16 at 4:20pm in 2D first off the screen was smaller than other theaters,the seats were not nice and it was dirty and there was a lot of people in the theater (in which they were talking a lot),the people who worked there were okay, and they showed the same preview twice in a row (being for here comes the boom) speaking of previews they also had the despicable me 2 teaser with the minions singing.I did really enjoy the movie.
quick blu ray thoughts
the film looks very nice and has good audio and has a fair amount of extras (but not enough) . It does allow bookmarks and resumes playback (which Megamind can't do) as well.I really they do a special edition to please us HT fans.
final thoughts
The film is a home run it's a must see and it's way better than Megamind go see it
rating 5 out of 5 stars *****
So that's it for now more reviews are coming soon.
on a side note Sony is also making a Hotel Transylvania 2 coming out on September 25th 2015
Very nice isn't it.It sure is great to see Sonic appearing in Wreck it Ralph.Wreck it Ralph opens Nov 2 as you can see on the poster I'll be seeing for sure and I'm sure all you Sonic fans out there will be seeing too and I hope it's a good movie because Disney has been getting better with John Lasseter being there now.Yeah so lets hope for a good movie from Disney on November 2nd and also what's interesting is that it's opens a few weeks before Dreamwork's Rise of the guardians (November 21) which also looks great too so I bet these two animated films will go head to head at the box office kinda like how Megamind and Tangled went head to head back in 2010,a few animated films were released in November 2011 we got Happy feet two and Arthur Christmas and Puss in Boots was going to open on November 4th but it was pushed back a week early to October 28th and the film was still playing when Arthur Christmas and Happy feet two came out since it got really good reviews and was a box office success (despite only making Megamind numbers domestically it made a lot more overseas but was still a success domestically since it's gross was able to beat it's $130,000,000 budget which was the same as Megamind's budget,and Megamind made $148,000,000 domestically while Puss in boots made 149,000,000.) Anyway I'm getting off topic so Wreck it Ralph can't wait to see that I love Disney, I love video games, I love Sonic,and others.So yeah my next post should be either a movie review or my thoughts on TMNT 2012 and Robot and Monster so be on the look out for those and I hope you liked this post.
On June 29 2012 Simon strange announced that a 4th Godzilla will be made called kaiju Combat which will come out in 2013 and I am so exited to hear this because we haven't seen a Godzilla video game since Godzilla Unleashed in 2007. So I hope we get all the monsters we didn't see in the last few games. So I hope you fans out there are exited to hear about this and a side note the new Godzilla reboot film will come out on May 16th 2014 so that's great to hear too.So that's my blog post for today and I hope you enjoyed this post and have a nice day.
I'm currently working on some more T.V spots for MMAOROM2 and I might be doing more videos to market the film.Anyway the movie I have yet to work on yet but I might do a sneak peek at the films first few minutes (5 at best) which I might upload on youtube or I'll post it here.So I hope all you guys are excited for this film that I'm doing and I'll see you in my next post
