Retroplex Cinema: Young Guns II (1990)

Welcome to Retroplex Cinema, a brand new feature here at TMIAJ where from time to time we will feature a classic flick, that you may or may not have heard of for all our readers to check out!  Today we go back twenty years to 1990.

Young Guns II:  Young Guns II was released August 1, 1990 and was a sequel to the wildly popular Young Guns from 1988.  Billy "The Kid" and his gang are on the run and  wanted by the law.  When "Doc" Scurlock and Chavez are captured, Billy and the rest of the Regulators has to save them. They escape and set south for Mexico. "Let's hire a thief to catch one", John S. Chisum said, so he paid Pat Garrett, one of Billy's former partners, $1000 for the killing of William H. Bonney aka Billy "The Kid"

The movie begins with the aging Brushy Bill Roberts narrating his story to a young historian. His claim? He claims that he is the famous outlaw William H. Bonney, alias Billy the Kid, who was supposedly shot and killed by Patrick Floyd Garrett in 1881. The old man gives a very convincing story on how he and Garrett, along with Arkansas Dave Rudabaugh, Chavez y Chavez, Doc Skurlock, and a few others led the outlaw life and avoided the law, as they were wanted men. Garrett, a friend of Billy's, was paid by John Chisum, a cattle king, to eliminate Billy the Kid. So, Garrett and Ashmun Upson set out on a journey to find Billy the Kid. As Billy "The Kid" and his gang are on the run and wanted by the law, "Doc" Scurlock and Chavez are captured, Billy and the rest of the Regulators set out to save them and when they do, they  escape and set south for Mexico.  Of course the rest is history as eventually Garret does catch up to Billy and as history has it, he kills Billy who refuses to be captured.  in this film version, the narrator Brushy Bill Roberts holds to his claim that he is indeed Billy The Kid.

One Day, I'm Gonna Run Around With Hobbits

 The film is a wild fun western as was the original with some great action and a fun cast including Emilio Estevez, Keifer Sutherland, Lou Diamond Phillips, Christian Slater, and a young Viggo Mortenson (above).   It also includes one of the best on screen ass shots in cinema as you can see below.

The West Was Indeed Wild......

Overall, Young Guns II is a fun western and a decent sequel.  It also was the beginning of alot of great dumb fun action movies made in the 1990's.  If you haven't seen it check it out, it's worth a couple of hours of your time, and hell, even Bon Jovi has an appearance in it and he did the song for the soundtrack.

Tron Legacy Prequel Comic Coming In October

Just a few days after Disney blew Comic-Con audiences away with their Hall H panel for Tron Legacy, opening on December 17 in Disney Digital and IMAX 3D theaters, Marvel Comics has announced they will release prequel comic books with the two-issue limited series "TRON: The Betrayal" coming out in October.

The first release as part of Marvel's acquisition by Disney earlier this year and credited to a new entity dubbed "Disney Publishing Worldwide," these comics will be extra-sized books with art and stories by some of the top creators working today as well as covers by Salvador Larroca ("The Invincible Iron Man"). (You can see the cover image above and click on it to see a full-sized version of it on Marvel.com.)

As mentioned in the official blurb, the stories in the books will take place between the original 1982 Tron and the anticipated sequel. Here is the official plot synopsis:

"The storytelling picks up in the aftermath of Walt Disney Pictures' first film in its franchise TRON. Kevin Flynn is now in charge of Encom, the world's largest video game company. Kevin, a break-through game developer, has built the Grid, a digital world filled with living programs. This new virtual world is about to develop a life of its own and, in order to control it, Flynn's going to need to help of an old friend...named Tron.

Furthermore, Marvel Senior Vice President of Developing and Planning Ruwan Jayatilleke gave this comment to Marvel.com:

"Marvel Publishing is excited to bring Disney Book Group's first TRON graphic novel to comic book fans in this limited series, so whether you're new to TRON or a longtime fan, 'TRON: The Betrayal' is an action-packed thrill-ride that will not disappoint!"

Comic-Con 2010: Vid Pick Of The Week - Green Lantern Panel Highlights

The Vid Pick Of The Week comes from Comic-Con 2010 with a Green Lantern panel highlight video that includes star Ryan Reynolds reciting the Green Lantern oath!

Comic-Con 2010: Green Lantern Press Conference

Shortly after unveiling footage from Green Lantern to an eager Comic-Con crowd, cast and crew gathered for a followup press conference.

Director Martin Campbell joined Producer Donald De Line and actors Ryan Reynolds (Hal Jordan), Blake Lively (Carol Ferris), Mark Strong (Sinestro) and Peter Sarsgaard (Hector Hammond) to field questions about the big-screen origin story that sees test-pilot Hal Jordan chosen to carry the power of the Green Lanterns, an elite Corps of intergalactic police, sworn to protect the universe with special rings that have the power to physically manifest willpower.

Q: Is Green Lantern a hard sell for audiences simply because there's so much going on?
Martin Campbell: It’s not a tough one to explain. I think it’s all very, very clear. I think the story that we are telling, which is the Hal Jordon story, is quite concise, actually. I think that the fact that he is taken up to Oa and he’s inducted and he becomes a Green Lantern and the way in which the ring works through will power. The stronger your will power, the stronger your construct. Construct being whatever your imagination cares to create. The actual story is very simple. I know there are many complex characters and all the characters from the origin story go on to the dark side in later comics and things, but I think it’s very straight forward.

Q: For Ryan, are there any specific Green Lantern comic book storylines that you're particularly fond of?
Ryan Reynolds: There’s a lot of them that are inspiring. Unlike many of the comic books, it’s such a vast universe to this character and his contemporaries. I read a few different ones. For the most part this is an origin story so I was able to focus a little on Secret Origins, but then, obviously, our script is a much more in depth interpretation of that basic storyline. Geoff Johns described this thing as a version of Star Wars in the DC universe. I think that was a pretty apt description. You have so much you can mine out of this. Out of these comics and this character in particular. I think that any time you’re dealing with a guy who has something unbelievable and insurmountable to overcome, it makes for a pretty interesting story. As an actor, it’s an interesting and excellent thing for me to get an opportunity to play. This guy has a very distinct starting point. He’s a bit of a fractured human being. He's seen some difficult stuff in his life. He's seen his father die. We move on to find him a little bit later in life and he’s kind of arrogant, cocky and aimless. It’s this extraordinary power that is bestowed on him that sort of sets him on a bit of a humbler path. It's pretty cool.

Q: How does your experience playing a superhero in Green Lantern differ from playing the imaginary superhero in Paper Man? And is this costume even tighter than the Paper Man costume?
Reynolds: So you’re the guy that saw Paper Man! Yeah, this costume is a motion capture suit that I’m wearing. Because it’s not seen on camera, they’ve managed to find a material that I think most would agree is the most aggravating substance on earth. We’re shooting in Louisiana, which is pretty close to the sun in terms of the hottest place you can find anywhere around. The suit has actually been a little bit difficult running around in a unitard in the New Orleans high summer heat. If I were wearing anything, it’s going to be pretty uncomfortable doing an action movie this time of year in the deep south. I can't be too hard on the suit.

Q: You've done a lot of training for action scenes in the past, but how much more extensive is the training for the aerial sequences we've been hearing about?
Reynolds: The training’s just different. You’re not training on an aesthetic level, you’re training for more of a functional ability. You want to be able to stay out of the hospital for as long as you possibly can. But it is a Martin Campbell movie, so you’re bound to be there once or twice. He pushes you so hard and I think that’s why the action is so real and so visceral. You really feel what Martin once described as a knife fight in a phone booth. I think that’s a really apt description of how his action feels. It's rough. It's dirty. It's fast. You've got to be ready for it. It’s been fun to train in that regard for something actually real.

Q: Blake, did you have to do any special training to play Carol Ferris?
Blake Lively: I had to spend many days with Ryan. That was my training. No, I got to be in the Matrix rig, which was this rig that was invented for The Matrix. I think it goes about 20 feet high, but I like to say 50 so please spread that rumor because it makes me feel cooler. I’m on this gyroscopic waist belt. It works towards your weight and makes you very nauseous. You're just spinning in every direction. That was about the extent of my stunts for this, but we did some test pilot training, too, which was really fun.

Can you describe the style of your character and her fashion choices?
Lively: Nglia [Dickson] was very specific to make her relevant but not too modern. We didn’t want to connect the movie to any specific time. You don't want to date it, so this is very classic column dresses which is an iconic, strong, businesswoman look.

Q: Peter, your wife dated Batman. Was it fun to also be a part of a big comic book franchise like this?
Peter Sarsgaard: My wife indeed dated Batman. Yeah, I guess it was my turn. Although I don’t get much kissing. I might get a kiss in.

Q: Tell us about your character.
Sarsgaard: He is a biologist. He teaches the university but his private time is quite interested in extremophiles, animals that live in extreme environments on earth as a way to understand creatures that live on other planets. There’s a fine line there between science and wishful thinking. I thought about a lot of people who have sort of stretched our ideas. Added a little bit of creativity to science like Carl Sagan or Isaac Asimov. The part of me that, when I was young read more things like that than I did straight comics. A sense of wonder about the world where you start filling in gaps, which is what most scientists try not to do. So I really thought of him as kind of a dreamer in a lot of ways.

Q: Ryan, can you talk about playing characters in both the Marvel and DC Universes? Can you talk about that casting process?
Reynolds: I don’t personally delineate too much between Marvel and DC and don't pay any heed to that supposed rivalry. We live in a world in which the technology has allowed us to bring these kinds of movies to life in ways that they couldn't two or three years ago. The emergence of the superhero franchise being so mainstream now I think is a result of that and nothing really more. I’ve never really had that thought or issue about thinking, "I was in a Marvel film so I can’t be in a DC film". The casting process for me was the same as it would have been for anyone else. I met with Martin. I fell in love with the concept and the idea. He showed me the art department, which was incredible. It was an experience. I didn’t go to the art dept and see a few things, I had an experience there. To see the world they were creating for this character and this film was unlike anything I’d ever seen captured on film ever. That was an amazing moment for me. That's what really made me want to do it. Then I screen tested for it not once, but twice. I got up there and Martin put me through the paces. But the great thing about a screen test is that it's just another day of work. You're there onset and there's another actor with you. There's a set and a cameraman. You just go to work and it was a nice, pleasant experience.
Q: How many auditions did you go through?
Campbell: Well, we did test a few actors. There were a number. We tested a few of them twice. We went to England and tested a few people. Really, it’s a very serious consideration. This is not just one film but, if it’s successful, we’ll do a sequel, so we hope this is something that goes on for a long period of time. Everyone was good. Ryan was exceptional... That process is pretty standard for films like this one with so much riding on a potential franchise.

Donald De Line: We found out they always want to see the guy in the mask as part of the test. Ryan looks really good in a mask.

Reynolds: I actually have one little anecdote I wanted to add to this that I haven’t mentioned yet. There was a Cinderella element to it, because the FX house had this thing in our industry called life casts. It's a mold of an actor's head and you can build a mold of a prosthetic around that. You can do anything. Obviously, Peter had one done to wear his prosthetics in the film. The FX house that was asked to make the Green Lantern mask had no idea who was auditioning, but they arbitrarily chose my head from their vast catalogs of actors' heads with which to build this mask around. So when I showed up to set, my mask fit a little better than maybe Regis Philbin's or Richard Chamberlain’s. Or whoever else might have been auditioning that day.

Q: Green Lantern is pretty fearless. What's the biggest fear you grapple with in real life?
Reynolds: What scares me? Stepping out at Comic-Con in front of 6500 people is not a settling experience. In terms of fear, I try not to live in fear. Nerves are a nice thing. They let you know you're alive. I pay more attention to the nerves than I do the fear.

Lively: I don't want to talk about what scares me.

Q: Because many of the secondary characters are CGI, have you already cast the voices? Do you have a Kilowog?
Campbell: It's interesting. We’ve got some ideas we can’t disclose at the moment, only because of post production. We’re a year out from releasing and also the look of the characters. I’m sure there’ll be three or four voices tried for each character to see how they fit. You’re never quite sure until you cut the film of precisely how the characters turned out. Rather like screen tests for actors, we try voices to see what suits.

Q: Mark, you can talk about how you prepared to play Sinestro?
Mark Strong: I’m not sure you prepare for villains necessarily. You prepare for a character. I suppose the way I look at villains is that nobody is born evil. Usually something happens to their time on the planet or in space that causes them to become the way they are. You have to look at who he is and what he stands for and what he believes in. He is an incredibly organized, fearless, exponent of the Green Lantern Corps who believes that he knows best. In this movie as it stands, he becomes mentor to the newly minted human Green Lantern and basically guides him through his first steps. We deal with that process, so I don't think of him as a villain or even in a bad sense. He’s just an incredibly powerful presence who knows what he believes and what he wants to be right. If there’s anything that causes him later on to spill over to the dark side, it’s his unquestioning belief in his own rightness.

Q: Mark, do you get to do the same kind of beatdown you got in Kick-Ass?
Strong: Interestingly, going to work beating up a 12-year-old girl wasn’t an experience I have very often, so it’s nice to be facing a worthy opponent.

Reynolds: I'll take that as a compliment!

Q: Do you guys get a lot of one on one time?
Strong: Yeah, we've been training. Part of the storyline is that Hal visits Oa and Sinestro tests him because he's not entirely sure that humans should be members of the Corps. So there's a sequence where Kilowog and Sinestro put him through his paces.

Q: There's a lot of talk about building to a bigger DC Universe on film. How did this affect the development of this film?
Campbell: No, I don't think [they affect it] at all. I think we stand absolutely on our own and we stand as our own superhero, our own story. And a terrific story it is.

Q: Ryan, how do you react when fans ask very, very specific questions about elements from, say, a certain issue of the comic book series?
Reynolds: Artful deflection. I would never profess to be as well-versed or as literate in that comic book world as they are. I do know a bit about certain comic books and I’ll be the first to tell them when I don't know about that particular issue.

Comic-Con 2010: Han Solo Arrives For Cowboys & Aliens

(From yahoo.com) Harrison Ford made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con Saturday, and the crowd of some 6,000 sci-fi and comic book fans greeted him with a sustained standing ovation unmatched by any other during this year's event.

"I just wanted to make a living as an actor," he said. "I didn't know about this."
Ford was on hand to help present his new film, Cowboys & Aliens, joining a panel that included co-stars Daniel Craig, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde and director Jon Favreau.
      The film looks like an old-fashioned Western when suddenly a spaceship arrives. Favreau said he aimed to balance the two genres without relying on too many computer-generated effects.
    "The take was make a by-the-book Western right down the middle ... and mix it with the type of sci-fi movie I grew up with, before they had CG when it was verging on horror," he said. "Then just use GCI to do what they couldn't do back then."
Cowboys & Aliens is set for release in July 2011.

Comic-Con 2010: Thor Footage Description & The Avengers Cast!

    The Marvel Studios Panel also featured the first bit of footage from Thor! It starts with lightning and then it shows a S.H.I.E.L.D. base where Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson is interrogating someone chained to a chair. It's Chris Hemsworth's Thor, and Coulson gives a long monologue asking him where he got his training. We see a bit of footage of Thor in action sans hammer taking down the S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers who are trying to stop him.

     "Who are you?" asks Coulson and Thor looks up.

     We then see what looks like a constellation system and we hear a voice-over by Anthony Hopkins as Odin as we see the golden buildings of Asgard and the camera goes into the throne room where he's giving a big speech to his son, who is kneeling at the base of the throne. We see glimpses of each of the Asgardian Gods including Sif, Balder and the Warriors Three, and Idris Elba's Heimdall. Odin is obviously mad at Thor and he says that he's going to take his power and banish him for his actions, sending a bolt that sends Thor down through the constellation where he lands in the desert and is found by Natalie Portman's Jane Foster. We then see Hemsworth walking around shirtless and impressing Foster and her assistant Darcy (played by Kat Dennings).

    After this an Avengers teaser was shown, just the logo with a Samuel L. Jackson voiceover and then the cast was introduced one by one,   Jackson was introduced and then he brings out Clark Gregg, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America... and then Robert Downey Jr. came out as Tony Stark and the crowd went crazy. He then introduced and confirmed that playing Clint Barton is.... Jeremy Renner... and "reprising his role as Bruce Banner... Mark Ruffalo!"  He then brought out director Joss Whedon, who said that he had always had a dream, presumably about directing e, "but my dream was never this good!"  Finally a picture of the entire cast of The Avengers on stage!

Comic-Con 2010: Captain America Panel Report

     Reports have flooded in about what was seen at the Captain America portion of the Marvel Studios panel and it sounds bad ass!!  Captain America: The First Avenger has only been in production for a week but they showed a short teaser and an entire scene!  The scene is as follows: Set in Norway in 1942. The Red Skull, before he becomes the Red Skull, smashes through the front of an ancient temple and sends his Nazi goons to a crypt looking for something he calls The Tesseract. They open up a sarcophagus and find a large, misty cube atop the corpse of a Crusader. But the Skull can't be fooled, and he knows this is a fake, smashing it to the ground. (Chud.com)
     The teaser featured WW2 footage with Roosevelt’s Day of Infamy speech playing over it.  Text lines said "Our courage and strength led us into battle, stories emerged of heroes … but one story has never been told"  The shield is then revealed with the line "Every army starts with one man"
Captain America’s silhouette, shield on the arm, standing in near profile. To black. “Next summer meet the world’s first avenger.”  Chris Evans then turns around in full costume and fires the shield directly at the camera after the title was shown! 
     A question was asked to Johnston about the tone of the film. He said he loves Raiders of the Lost Ark. “At no time when watching that film do you feel it was made in 1936. It feels as modern today as it did back (when it was released.” He said you only get one chance to tell the origin story and promised it won’t feel like a movie made in 1942. I guess this was his way of telling people that it won’t feel old and stupid because it’s set during WW2. So there you have it!! Captain America: The First Avenger hits theaters next summer!!

Comic-Con 2010: Mark Ruffalo Confirmed As Bruce Banner

Comic-Con 2010: Let Me In Poster

MTV News has the exclusive new poster from Comic-Con for the Let The Right One In remake, titled Let Me In.  The official synopsis is as follows:

An alienated 12-year-old boy befriends a mysterious young newcomer in his small New Mexico town, and discovers an unconventional path to adulthood in Let Me In, a haunting and provocative thriller written and directed by filmmaker Matt Reeves (Cloverfield).

Twelve-year old Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby (Chloe Moretz), an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father (Oscar®nominee Richard Jenkins). A frail, troubled child about Owens’s age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond.

When a string of grisly murders puts the town on high alert, Abby’s father disappears, and the terrified girl is left to fend for herself. Still, she repeatedly rebuffs Owen’s efforts to help her and her increasingly bizarre behavior leads the imaginative Owen to suspect she’s hiding an unthinkable secret.

The gifted cast of Let Me In takes audiences straight to the troubled heart of adolescent longing and loneliness in an astonishing coming-of-age story based on the best-selling Swedish novel Lat den Ratte Komma In (Let the Right One In) by John Ajvide Lindqvist, and the highly-acclaimed film of the same name.
