Monsters University First Teaser Trailer

Monsters Inc is my favourite Pixar movie of all time so you can imagine my delight at the announcement of prequel Monster University.

Yes Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are back and so are Billy Crystal and John Goodman on voicing duties.

But don’t get too excited Pixar fans as we will have to wait twelve months before we get to see the movie as summer 2013 is when it is set to be released.

But if, like me, you will struggle to wait that long here is the first teaser trailer for the movie:

Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan are an inseparable pair, but that wasn’t always the case. From the moment these two mismatched monsters met they couldn’t stand each other.

‘Monsters University’ unlocks the door to how Mike and Sulley overcame their differences and became the best of friends.

Frankenweenie Character Images

I am a HUGE fan of Tim Burton and he is set to return to stop motion animation with his new movie Frankenweenie.

Now we are going to have to wait until October to check out this black and white 3D movie but it does promise to be one of the animation movie events of 2012.

Burton favourites Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara are back to lend their voices to the movie while Martin Short and Martin Landau are also on the cast list.

And we have some new character images for you to take a look at. Meet Bob, Bob’s Mum, Elsa Van Helsing, Mr & Mrs Frankenstein, Persephone, Sparky, Toshiaki and Victor.

Frankenweenie is a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life – with just a few minor adjustments.

He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new ‘leash on life’ can be monstrous.

Frankenweenie is released 17th October.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Clip

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunters blasted into cinemas earlier this week and marks the biggest role of actor Benjamin Walker’s career so far.

The actor takes on the title role in the Timur Bekmambetov directed movie and this is Abraham Lincoln like we have never seen him before.

So if you are not going to see the movie before the weekend we have a new clip for you to check out:

When Abraham Lincoln’s mother is killed by a supernatural creature, it fuels his passion to avenge her death.

Statesmen by day, hunter by night, President Lincoln sets out to crush vampires and their slave-owning helpers.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is out now.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

What did I tell you? Yesterday I said that Johnny Depp wouldn’t be a free agent for long and look what’s happened now, he and Amber Heard have apparently been spending rather a lot of time together on the set of his new film The Lone Ranger. Rumour is, he even bought her a horse so they could ride side by side (bleurgh). Now, we have to remember that it was obvious that as soon as he announced splitting from Vanessa there would be rumours flying left, right and centre about who he is or isn’t dating. So even though the hearts of women worldwide may have tiny little cracks appearing in them, do not fret just yet, you may still have a chance… if you happen to be tall, blonde, bisexual and named Amber Heard.
