The first full-length trailer for Brave – the Disney Pixar 3D film of Scottish heroine Merida and her journey to find true bravery.

Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) makes a wish from a witch that doesn’t turn out as planned and she confronts tradition, her destiny and a few crazy beasts along the way.

The visuals are lush and gorgeous, as expected and the vocal talent is superb – costarring along with Macdonald are Emma Thompson, Julie Walters, Robbie Coltrane, Craig Ferguson and Billy Connolly.

And of course there is crazy Scotsman mooning the crowd in a kilt – what can I say, it was funny.

Brave will be in theaters June 22, 2012.

Watch the trailer below. (Read the article)

Disney‘s The Lone Ranger starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer was cancelled back in August, now it’s looking to get back on track to shoot this January.

The studio looks like it is ready to re-commit to the project with Jerry Bruckheimer, Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp. The green light hasn’t been given yet, but the current word is that Disney will probably flash that signal next week, leading to an early 2012 shoot…

…The end result is that we might get a version of Lone Ranger that ditches some of the supernatural elements (that is, werewolves) that were once part of the script, but hopefully keeps the perspective-flipping ‘Don Quixote from Sancho Panza’s point of view’ approach that was originally said to be the spark that got Gore Verbinski ready to make the film.

The movie definitely has the Johnny Depp action pull which has been huge for Disney‘s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, I’m sure this movie will be a big hit too. Westerns are a hard sell, but I’m betting this one will be pretty easy, given the action epic nature of the concept. The delays mean the movie probably won’t grace theater screens until late 2013 though, so don’t get too excited yet.

Zooey Deschanel was certainly busy last weekend.  She partied at the BAFTA Gala on Saturday.  On Sunday, she attended the premiere of Disney’s new Winnie The Pooh movie.   That’s got to be kind of a let-down, don’t you think?  One minute you’re hobnobbing with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the next you are on the red carpet for a questionable reboot of a children’s flick.  Man.

Zooey looked really cute in a white dress with an Impressionistic floral pattern, and peep toe pumps.   I like this dress, even though it reminds me of certain home decor from the 1970s:  wallpaper, bedspreads… if you were around then, you know what I’m talking about!

More views of Zooey after the jump.

Selena Gomez is all smiles for the cameras at the launch of the Disney HD Channel in London yesterday afternoon.

The Monte Carlo star sparkled in a heavily sequined top and paired it with casual blue jeans.

With her band The Scene, Selena performed a few songs for fans at the showcase, which was being filmed for a Disney special.

The 18 year-old is in the UK promoting her album When The Sun Goes down but managed to get in a little shopping time after her appearance. Gomez pulled her hair back and hit the shops as she squeezed in some retail therapy in London.

More photos from the launch are below.  (Read the article)

Here’s the first official poster for next year’s big Disney/Pixar animated film Brave.

Beautiful detailing, if the movie looks like this in full motion Pixar will really out-do themselves again. Brave promises to be a great original story something we know Pixar is extremely good at. Unfortunately all we have this year is Cars 2, but Disney/Pixar has great stuff coming for the next three years. Hopefully we’ll see a teaser trailer for Brave with the release of Cars 2 this friday!

Disney has announced that another Pixar animated film will be released on November 27, 2013, but hasn’t even given a hint as to what it might be.

Disney’s next Pixar pic is November 27, 2013. It’s an original project, not a sequel — and it doesn’t have a title yet. And that’s all Disney is saying.

Now don’t worry, this isn’t the next Pixar movie after Cars 2. No next summer’s Pixar release is called Brave, then the following summer (2013) it’s Monster’s University. So this mysterious new project will be the second Pixar release for 2013, I get the feeling after it’s been announced in the next few months it may get pushed to summer 2014, unless it’s a holiday themed movie. Only time (and Disney) will tell.

Here’s the first poster for the upcoming Disney sci-fi movie John Carter, formerly titled John Carter of Mars.

Oscar-winning director Andrew Stanton (Finding Nemo, WALL-E) has been hard at work perfecting its extensive visual effects which employ full motion capture and more to tell the story of an American Civil War veteran (Taylor Kitsch) who somehow travels to Mars and is called on to help save the red planet. It also stars Willem Dafoe, Mark Strong, Thomas Hayden Church, Samantha Morton and Bryan Cranston among others.

This movie has been long talked about and nearly forgotten, it’s a good thing they are putting it back on the radar. The poster doesn’t reveal much, this could have just been a shot from a Taylor Kitsch photoshoot with some lettering slapped on top. The cast is pretty killer, so I’m actually pretty anxious to see a trailer for this one. John Carter will be released on March 9th, 2012.

Here’s the first look at the main character Merida in the upcoming Disney/Pixar film Brave.

The rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland serve as the backdrop for Brave, a new tale that joins the lands ancient lore, stories of epic battles and mystical legends passed down for generations. Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, Brave is the grand adventure of Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald), a skilled archer who confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts to discover the true meaning of courage. The film also features the voices of Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Julie Walters, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson and Robbie Coltrane. Brave, full of heart, memorable characters and Pixar’s signature humor, takes aim at theaters on June 22, 2012, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D in select theaters.

Very cool, I’m glad Pixar is venturing into the original fairy tale realm, who better to do it? This movie is amongst the many I’m excited about for next summer. Cars 2 should have the full trailer for Brave attached to it so we can get a glimpse at this likely excellent addition to the Pixar library. I’m beginning to wonder if Pixar is capable of making a bad movie.

Zach Braff is being set up to join James Franco in the upcoming Disney movie Oz: The Great and Powerful.

Zach Braff is in final talks to join Disney’s Oz: The Great and Powerful, the Sam Raimi-directed film for Disney. Braff will play the role of Frank, the loyal but under-appreciated assistant to Oz (James Franco), a charismatic circus magician who is treated as a powerful wizard after his balloon blows off course into Oz and the townsfolk want him to eradicate a Wicked Witch and bring peace. Mila Kunis will play the witch Theodora, Michelle Williams will play Glinda and Rachel Weisz will play Evanora.

The cast is great, they’ve done a good job with it so far. I’m a big Sam Raimi fan, so I’m looking forward to seeing how this one turns out in the end. Braff seems like a great companion to James Franco‘s Oz, hopefully they can pull off some great laughs together. Oz: The Great and Powerful shoots this July for a March 8th, 2013 release.

Here’s the newest teaser trailer for the upcoming comedy The Muppets.

I love that they are reaching out to different audiences with these fake-out trailers. It reminds me of the old days of The Muppets.  The direct spin-off from The Hangover Part II‘s trailer was smart, considering that movie was released today. I wonder what Disney will throw at us next, I hope they do a few more of these.
