JoBlo Movie News Coverage: Day 2

 

CBS has released a slew of new images from next year's hopefully spine-tingling chiller The Woman in Black. Nothing here to write home about, but it's good to see something other than Daniel Radcliffe peering offscreen with his mouth agape. In this batch of photos, we get the always wonderful Ciarán Hinds, a trio of spooky little girls, and some atmospheric shots. Here's hoping that the flick lives up to its moody-as-all-hell trailer.

The best thing about these new pictures? No spoilers to be found! Click here to check them out.

Synopsis: Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe), a widowed lawyer whose grief has put his career in jeopardy, is sent to a remote village to sort out the affairs of a recently deceased eccentric. But upon his arrival, it soon becomes clear that everyone in the town is keeping a deadly secret. Although the townspeople try to keep Kipps from learning their tragic history, he soon discovers that the house belonging to his client is haunted by the ghost of a woman who is determined to find someone and something she lost… and no one, not even the children, are safe from her vengeance.

In a fairly blatant attempt to replicate Twilight's marketing campaign note-for-note, The Hunger Games has snagged a bundle of hip 'n trendy musicians for its soundtrack including The Arcade Fire, Civil Wars, The Decemberists, and Taylor Swift, whose single "Safe and Sound" has already caused the heads of millions of 12-year-old girls to explode within its first week of release. 

No other contributing artists have been announced (other than the star of the film, Jennifer Lawrence, who will share her pipes on the album), but under producer T Bone Burrett, the soundtrack is guaranteed to top the charts when it is released early next year. Each track will apparently be thematically related to the film, so I'm guessing we'll be hearing the lyrics "death" and "survive" more than once.

As far as the score is concerned, Danny Elfman recently left the project to spend as much time as possible on frequent collaborator Tim Burton's latest affair, Dark Shadows. James Newton Howard, composer of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and countless M. Night Shyamalan films, is now attached to score the movie.

Let's clear our minds for a moment and just pretend that the whole Mark Steven Johnson-directed Ghost Rider adaptation never happened. Now, have a look over everything we've seen so far of Neveldine/Taylor's upcoming sequel, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, and tell me it doesn't look fan-freaking-tastic and fun as hell – literally! Oh, I crack myself up.


Columbia Pictures has just revealed the official site for the 2012 film, and among the expected bells and whistles, it features a killer loading screen and a "badass gallery." Because a simple "gallery" just does not do the character justice.
