Must Watch Below
3 days until Jurassic World projects in movie theaters around the country and the world. Good things come in threes. In fact, there are some 3-worded phrases that are simply unforgettable.
Here’s one of them.
Cinema’s fifth gear.
Happy Monday!
Like the instrumental below, no words are needed for this defining 1993 John Williams composition that is pure genius.
We don’t know what the new theme song and soundtrack for Jurassic World will sound like with its new composer, Michael Giacchino. Hearing it for the first time this Friday will be exciting. And as is commonplace in following John Williams, nothing but the musical summit of Everest will need to be reached. It will be a thrill to finally see/hear if this forthcoming summer blockbuster can come close with its soundtrack inevitably compared to the masterpiece above.
Have a Great Week and Spare No Expense!
A Golden Cup for the World
Sam Neill is the man.
First, it was his unforgettable portrayal of Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. Then, he was the dad in the emotionally futuristic movie, Bicentennial Man. Now, Mr. Neill has taken it to yet another level of awesomeness:
The beautiful game.
United Passions tells the before untold story of bringing the world the most golden of all cups (technically, it’s a golden statue now, but whatever).
While FIFA (Sepp Blatter in particular) is currently facing very serious accusations today, there is no doubt that the creation of the World Cup was a shining sports moment of the 20th century.
On a related note, Sam Neill for FIFA President on May 29th of 2015, anyone?
Hey, if he can escape an island of attacking dinosaurs (twice), he can probably handle some soccer executives, including the French…just as long as nobody pops that bottle of champagne he’s saving in the fridge.
United Passions arrives in theaters and iTunes on June 5, 2015.
In This World, There’s One Park
One name: Steven Spielberg.
And just like that, I have your attention.
As June 12th creeps closer, and as every man shaves his beard with help from the Limited Edition Jurassic World-themed Barbasol shaving cream cans (yes sir!), the pure adrenaline for the follow-up to Jurassic Park that every fan has been waiting for builds to, well, a Tyrannosaurus Indominus sized-level. There are multiple trailers, TV spots and increased product cross-promotions. Awesome! Although, to maintain the highest sense of surprise coupled with an impossible intrigue to know more about this summer blockbuster to be, I have been careful to only watch the minimum (but still satisfying) amount of press for Jurassic World.
Fortunately, this behind-the-scenes photo shoot recently released doesn’t reveal any plot points…except it’s value is significant for the fact that it’s the first public appearance by the legendary director of Jurassic Park (Steven Spielberg) and the young man given the reins by Spielberg to create Jurassic World (Colin Trevorrow, 38).
The pressure on the latter is nearly unfathomable, considering this is not a traditional sequel, but a revival tied directly to the original 1993 dinosaur epic. Fans (including myself) are impossibly protective of the original. And unlike the past two sequels, Jurassic World is making sure to highlight that Spielberg served as the lead executive producer. After all these years, he’s boldly returning to this mega franchise that he and his team built with cinematic genius from the brilliant words of the late Michael Crichton.
It’s an amazing thrill to see you back in the Jurassic Park director’s chair for any reason, Mr. Spielberg!
The stakes are high and this movie should spare no expense.
