Movie match up in Superbowl 43

It seems that this year’s Superbowl could be a lot more interesting than watching two teams fight for the prized trophy. Multiple studios will be airing 30-second T.V. spots  for their biggest movies.

Such high-profile titles that we will see spots for are Paramount’s ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,’ ‘Star Trek’ and ‘G.I. Joe’; Sony’s ‘Angels and Demons’; DreamWorks Animation’s ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’, which will run their ad in 3D; and Universal’s ‘Land of the Lost’ and its fourth installment in ” The Fast and the Furious” franchise. Disney is also planning to use the game to raise the profile for Pixar’s next ‘toon, “Up,” while a “Wolverine” spot is likely from Fox.

With these movie spots NBC is sure to get great numbers in their ratings which is pretty much the point these days in television. Superbowl 43 takes place on February 1st so mark it on your calendars.

Jack Black Chosen For ‘Gullivers Travels’

Fox Searchlight Pictures has picked up Jack Black to play the title character in their big screen adaptation of ‘Gulliver’s Travels’.

From the contemporary writer Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels  centers on Lemuel Gulliver, a free-spirited travel writer who, on an assignment to the Bermuda Triangle, suddenly finds himself a giant among men when he washes ashore on the hidden island of Lilliput, home to a population of industrious, yet tiny, people.

It has been set that Rob Letterman will direct off a script by Nicholas Stoller and Joe Stillman. No word yet on  the release date or when production begins, but I am sure more information will be surfacing in no time.   I mean it is a Jack Black movie.
