/Film (via ChartsBin) shows us the top pirate movies of 2009. This chart shows some interesting insights into the movie piracy industry. The more buzz a movie has, the more likely it will be pirated. You have to also note though, that the top pirated movies had either an amazingly high gross ticket sales for the year or were insanely buzzed while playing in virtually no theaters.
I haven't even heard of Rocknrolla or State of Play, both of which were extremely limited in theatre numbers. Both of those films are intriguing, and I'll have to Netflix them.
In my opinion, movie pirates resort to piracy for one of three reasons:
Apple has the exclusive new trailer for Iron Man 2, releasing May 7, 2010. Though the trailer doesn't show much, it's pretty interesting.
12 years after Titanic James Cameron is betting he can change forever the way you watch movies
Photo: Art StreiberIn 1977, a 22-year-old truck driver named James Cameron went to see Star Wars with a pal. His friend enjoyed the movie; Cameron walked out of the theater ready to punch something. He was a college dropout and spent his days delivering school lunches in Southern California’s Orange County. But in his free time, he painted tiny models and wrote science fiction — stories set in galaxies far, far away. Now he was facing a deflating reality: He had been daydreaming about the kind of world that Lucas had just brought to life. Star Wars was the film he should have made.
In the December issue of Wired Magazine, Joshua Davis interviews the legendary James Cameron about his new epic. It's a fascinating article about what happened in the 10 years since his last epic, and how Avatar's concept started 30 years ago as a film to compete with Star Wars.
With the news James Cameron film releasing in a few weeks, we are starting to see more and more advertising for this film. From the original teasers and rumblings, may of us thought this would be Dances With Wolves meets Halo, a dark and gritty film about humans expanding their reach further than they should, without regard to who they displace. Movie blog /film as collected these new ads, and most of them are quite telling in that this will be some type of happy go lucky family adventure.
Considering it was written by James Cameron, the creator The Terminator, The Abyss, Aliens, True Lies, and Dark Angel, I will eat my shirt if this movie is anything like a family adventure.
Film students, study these ads. It's a great lesson in editing footage to convey all different kinds of moods and themes.
See /Film for the rest of the ads.
Today is a special day in scientific history. Today, November 5th, marks the 54th anniversary of Doctor Emmett L. Brown's amazing discovery of the Flux Capacitor, spearheading the age of Time Travel. Though it took until 1985 for the energy technology to catch up with the requirements, Dr. Brown created and tested his first time machine with great success, traveling both forwards to 2015 and backwards 1885.
