Michael Bay Dot ComDisney at it again…
I have some BAD news for you guys and gals. Apparently Disney won’t be releasing the new “Pearl Harbor” trailer anytime soon. Nick Medrano at the PH site has been told by the mouse house that it won’t be releasing the new trailer for another 2 - 3 weeks.
Honestly, Disney not releasing this trailer—like NOW—pisses me off a bit. They need all the promotion they can get for this movie. I understand if they don’t want to hype it, but these trialers have gone well with audiences—especially this last one.… [ Read more ]
Pearl Harbor poster and other stuff
Tons of you have been asking why I don’t have the new Pearl Harbor trailer. I’ve contacted movies.com ( a subsidary of Disney ), and one of the encoding studios Disney uses, and this is what they’ve said:
“…We do not yet have information on when the new trailer for “Pearl Harbor” will become available.”
“I don’t believe we’ve seen the trailer come through here yet. However, I’d expect it online soon.”
So when I do have it, I will notify you guys and gals ASAP via the mailing list.… [ Read more ]
Bruckheimer talk Bad Boys 2
In an interview Jerry Bruckhiemer had with Z.com he had this to say about “Pearl Harbor,” and a possible sequel to “Bad Boys.”
“We’re hoping for PG-13, but that’s going to come down to how Michael puts the movie together and what the rating board thinks of it. If it turns out that they decide it’s an R, what concessions he would have to make to make it a PG-13, that’s a creative decision we will have to make.”
” ‘Bad Boys’ is the picture that we’ve been trying to come up with a story and screenplay that works…
Q: Is Michael Bay going to direct ‘Bad Boys II?’ We don’t know that yet.… [ Read more ]
When Worlds Collide
For those of you interested in the technical aspects of movie-making—especially photography—go and read this VERY informative interview I found in my old American Cinematographer magazines. It is by far one of the most interesting articles I’ve seen published about how Bay and Schwartzman work. It details the whole photography process in “Armageddon.” This article is waist-deep in technical stuff.

Pearl Harbor trailer description
Just came back from watching “Unbreakable.” Excellent movie.
But, what I really went for was to see the new “Pearl Harbor” trailer. Let’s go directly into the details. The openig shot is of two boys playing on what looks like a toy ariplane made of wood boxes and other stuff. It’s about 3 minutes long. It has the same temp track (Journey to the Line), and some of the footage that was found in the teaser.There is some dialogue, but what is most impressive is FDR’s voice over spoken by Jon Voight.… [ Read more ]
Criterion's Beker defends "Armageddon"
In a conversation Salon had with the Criterion Collection’s Peter Becker (the man who created the ultimate DVD versions of “Grand Illusion,” “This Is Spinal Tap” — and “Armageddon”), he defended Criterion’s DVD issuing of “Armageddon” by saying the following:
“Specifically, with “Armageddon”: You’d be silly to overlook blockbusters as a genre and leave them out of a film library. They drive so much. They drive tastes and shooting styles and visual references that appear all over the world in commercials and on TV as well as on movie screens.… [ Read more ]
