First Trailer For Delivery Man, Starring Vince Vaughn

Vince Vaughn seems to be on a path to a comedic comeback this year. Next month sees his new film, ‘The Internship’, which he co-stars in with his ‘Wedding Crashers’ co-star Owen Wilson, landing. This will be followed by his new film, ‘The Delivery Man’, which opens November 22, 2013. The film stars Vaughn as a man who, after donating years ago at a fertility clinic, has unknowingly fathered 533 children. It sounds like a pretty funny premise, and I’m a fan of Vaughn, I have been going back as far as his roles in films like ‘Swingers’ and ‘Old School’. He’s a great comedic actor, so I’m definitely looking forward to checking this one out.

The film also stars Cobie Smulders, best known for her roles as Robin in ‘How I Met Your Mother’, as well her turn as Maria Hill in ‘The Avengers’, and Chris Pratt, best known for ‘Parks and Recreation’, and who will soon be going into superhero mode in his starring role as Starlord in Marvel’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’. The film features a pretty great cast of comedic talent, so there’s definitely something to look forward to here. Are you excited about ‘Delivery Man’?

‘Shanghai Noon/Shanghai Knights’ Double Featuring Coming to Blu-ray May 7

Shanghai Noon/Shanghai Knights Double Featuring Coming to Blu ray May 7

 

I won’t lie, I’m a huge Jackie Chan nut. I’ve been watching his films since I was young, so I like to think I’m well versed in his back catalog of films. While I think that many of his best films are the ones he made back in Hong Kong, there’s a few of his films that he’s made here in Hollywood that are quite fun as well. Two of those stand outs were ‘Shanghai Noon’, and its sequel, ‘Shanghai Knights’, which starred him and Owen Wilson. The films were period piece buddy comedies that played heavily on the “fish out of water” aspect, to much success. I’ve been waiting to retire my DVD copies for some time now, so I’m very excited to say that Disney will be releasing the two films as a double feature on May 7, 2013.

This is great news for fans of the films, as well as fans of both Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan, and I really look forward to getting this film when it comes to blu-ray next month. Will you be picking this up to add it to your collection? And what are your favorite Jackie Chan films? Let me know in the comments below, only here at Chip and Company, and hit the jump for trailers for both films, as well as the press release for this release. [Read more...]

Steven Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’ Comes to Blu-ray and DVD March 26, 2013

Steven Spielbergs Lincoln Comes to Blu ray and DVD March 26, 2013

One of my favorite films of last year was Steven Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln‘, which stars Daniel Day-Lewis in his Academy Award winning performance as the sixteenth Presiden of the United States. I always enjoy Spielberg’s historical epics, and ‘Lincoln’ was no different. The film, based on the novel, ‘Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln’, which explored the framing of the thirteenth amendment, and the last few months of his life. It’s a truly moving excellent film that explores a part of the history of the United States that isn’t always touched on.

The film features an impressive cast that includes Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field, Joseph Gordon Levitt, and James Spader, all who give some of their finest performances to date. I’ve been looking forward to getting a chance to re-watch this film, so I’m excited to see that Walt Disney Studios will be releasing the film on March 26, 2013, on blu-ray and DVD. There will be a four disc Ultimate Collector’s edition, two disc blu-ray edition, and a single one disc DVD version. Hit the jump to see the differences between the different releases, as well as a trailer for this two time Academy Award winning film.

LINCOLN to be Distributed to All U.S. Middle & High Schools

LINCOLN Spurs Educational Campaign

All Middle and High Schools Across the U.S. to Receive DVDs of Steven Spielberg’s film as Part of Education Outreach

Jim Berk, Chief Executive Officer of Participant Media, announced Monday that Steven Spielberg’s critically acclaimed film, LINCOLN, will be distributed to all middle and high schools, both public and private, throughout the United States when the film becomes available on DVD. Participant Media, DreamWorks Pictures and Fox/Newscorp are funding the unparalleled effort with Disney In-Home creating the packaging and Disney Educational Productions handling distribution.

Participant Media conducted a standard research study for LINCOLN prior to the film’s release, which revealed that more than half of Americans think it’s important to learn about Lincoln, but two-thirds say they know little to nothing about him. This clearly indicates a need to better educate our nation’s students about the 16th president’s accomplishments. The tremendous positive response the film has received from educators, politicians, historians and the general public testifies to the fact that an understanding and knowledge of history can be an enlightening and powerful tool for all Americans.

Wikileaks Drama ‘The Fifth Estate’ Begins Production

Wikileaks Drama The Fifth Estate Begins Production

By now, most of you have heard about Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, a controversial man who changed the way information was spread and given to us. The site, and it’s founder, are still hot topics, so of course a film about the founder and the creation of the site was all but inevitable, and Dreamworks is doing just that with their new film, ‘The Fifth Estate’. The film will star Benedict Cumberbatch, of BBC’s ‘Sherlock’, as Julian Assange, and Daniel Bruhl as Assange’s partnet, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, and directed by Bill Condon, who directed the last two installments of ‘The Twilight Saga’, as well as ‘Dreamgirls.  The film’s screenplay is written by Josh Singer (TV’s “Fringe,” “The West Wing”), based on “Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World’s Most Dangerous Website” by Daniel Domscheit-Berg and “WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange’s War on Secrecy” by David Leigh and Luke Harding.  This seems like a story that is ripe for a film, and I am very intrigued to see how it plays out.

According to the press release, the film will be “Following Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Brühl), an early supporter and eventual colleague of Julian Assange (Cumberbatch), “The Fifth Estate” traces the heady, early days of WikiLeaks, culminating in the release of a series of controversial and history changing information leaks.  The website’s overnight success brought instant fame to its principal architects and transformed the flow of information to news media and the world at large.”  [Read more...]
