First Trailer for How To Train Your Dragon

2 November 2009 10:01 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

I approach each DreamWorks Animation movie with extreme caution because while there are a few I highly enjoy (”Over the Hedge”, “Bee Movie”), their films have a tendency of trying too hard to be hip and cool rather than just tell a good story and include clever jokes.

But the first trailer for their upcoming movie “How to Train Your Dragon” (in 3D, of course), is quite charming.  And while the trailer may say “From the Creators of ‘Shrek’ and ‘Kung Fu Panda’”, the writer-directors of the film are Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders.  They made the “Lilo & Stitch” and now I understand why “How to Train Your Dragon” looks good.  Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  “How to Train Your Dragon” hits theaters on March 26th, 2010.

‘Dinotrux’ Being Adapted By DreamWorks Animation

10 March 2009 11:12 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

It’s understandable that Hollywood would want to adapt books, comics and graphic novels from page to the big-screen. They have the advantage of having a pretty much automatic built-in audience who will end up forking over money to see the movie no matter what. And it also gives them a source material to constantly work off of.

However in the case of the children’s book called Dinotrux, Hollywood hasn’t even let the thing be published before they lay claim to the movie rights.

DreamWorks Animation has optioned the rights to make a CG animated film of the upcoming 32-page children’s book, reportedly for a figure somewhere around the half-million dollar mark. Forgive me for assuming pretty much all of you don’t know what the book is about, so here is the overall story:

Written by Chris Gall, the book takes place in a fictional prehistoric age, »

Brendan Fraser Making A Live Action Over The Hedge

26 January 2009 9:53 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

I'm really starting to miss the Brendan Fraser who could, you know, act. Don't get me wrong, he's really good at running around and screaming at invisible things which will be digitally added later, but there was a time when the guy seemed well on his way to being taken seriously as well. Ok maybe it was a brief window but I can't be the only one who saw Gods and Monsters. Or what about With Honors? He was pretty good in that. Those days are I suppose, long gone. Variety reports that he's signed up for yet another live-action family comedy. This one is called Angry Critters, in which Fraser plays a real estate developer whose new housing subdivision is attacked by a band of angry critters after it pushes into the Oregon wilderness. Wait a minute, where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, Over the Hedge. Same »
