Clash of the Titans
A remake of the classic fantasy adventure film, ‘Clash of the Titans’ is a rousing epic of great heroes, immortal villains and mythic creatures in a struggle for supremacy in an ancient world that never-was.It is different from 300 because this is a unrealistic remake whereas that was an adaptation loosely based on facts.
Paradise Lost
Using the latest in special effects technology, Milton’s epic poem of the war between Heaven and Hell gets the big-screen treatment and what results is a mind-blowing vision of Good and Evil.Unlike 300 this is a film based on a poem that concerns itself primary with religious strife. Do you think they could start adapting other more personal poems? There’s some ones by Vachel Lindsay and Frank O’Hara that I would like to see.
Warcraft
A film adaptation of the world’s best selling video game, ‘Warcraft’ comes to the big-screen as a live-action epic that brings to life the game’s stunning mythology.Wasn’t this once including the words “World of”? Anyways, this is a departure from 300 because it comes from a computer game with orcs, goblins and elves.
Gear of War
Adapting the extremely popular video game franchise, ‘Gears of War’ is a guns and glory sci-fi war movie from the director behind the successful ‘Underworld’ franchise and the action hit ‘Die Hard 4’.I am no grammarian, but I believe the sentence is implying that the game adapted itself. And nice way avoiding mentioning the director’s name.
Batman 3
A sequel to one of the highest grossing movies ever made, this blockbuster will continue the franchise’s reinvention of superhero cinema and aims to be a pop culture event.So, I derive this one also will be vapid and loud, and feature a city in literal peril that engages in philosophy 101 discussions. But since this actually references the box office success of prior film, the earliest one could date this list as being from is a few months ago.
Superman Unleashed
Ramping up the action of its esteemed predecessor, this sequel to ‘Superman Returns’ promises to raise the stakes and take the audience to heights of action that no other superhero movie can achieve.Singer is returning, right? I honestly actually really liked Superman Returns, even if I am the only one who claims the film offers salient political commentary.
Akira
Based upon the hugely popular Japanese manga, ‘Akira’ is a sci-fi epic that depicts a technological future where a rebellious teen gains terrifying psychic abilities and his best friend struggles to stop him before he destroys their city.Finally, a portrayal of a “technological future,” which pleases me as I’m tired of the bombardment of futuristic Luddite fetishism.
300 Sequel
In this follow-up to one of the most visionary movies ever made, the latest developments in special effects yield a spectacular, character-focused war epic unlike any ever seen.Just call it “300 Sequel” (seriously, the bro demo does not concern itself with the titular); The New York Times may have found the source of that Snyder-related hyperbole the world is agitated by.
Where the Wild Things Are
Based on children’s classic book a tale about a mischievous boy who travels to a far-away island and has adventures with the daunting creatures who dwell there.Do I detect a hint of scorn for Spike Jonze?
The Mountain
What begin as a search for a missing girl becomes a terrifying journey into the wilderness for a group of rescuers in this film from the Dowdle Brothers, the filmmakers responsible for the hit horror film ‘Quarantine.’”Dowdle Brothers”? Two relatives may want to look into a fake name, because Dowdle is totally lame and not fear-inducing. And I was not aware that movie actually made money.
The Spook’s Apprentice
Based on the best-selling young adult novel series, this is the adventure of a boy in the eighteenth-century coming of age as he learns to fight witches.So not a rudderless variant on the unexciting Potterverse; it's probably going to be Harry Potter's Adventureland.
Waterproof
When a post-office worker Gorman uncovers a dusty old package filled with glass-encased mythical creatures, he accidentally unleashes them upon his town of Waterproof, Ohio and it’s up to Gorman, his son and their friends to save the day.Is Gorman a monster or Pitof’s brother or something? That is an awfully strange forename. Is the sequel to a certain Sandler/Wayans team-up?
Update: /film, nice job on that factually suspect non-exclusive. (It is not some super-secret internal site; it can be accessed by anyone who cares to register.)
Update two: It seems all of this information has been removed from the Legendary site, leaving just a handful of titles with a period in where the synopses previously were - so the area behind lock-and-key is relatively unexciting.
Update three: I found an alternate version of the site with the info still up, so screen captures (and a few new jokes) have been added. Also while we are talking about movies, I would recommend the film Medicine for Melancholy.
Update four: Oh, here's something else I stumbled on recently, a copyright preregistration for Shrek Goes Fourth that sort of reveals the following likely innovative and thrilling synopsis:
After challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a beautiful princess and saving your in-laws' kingdom, what's an ogre to do? Well, if you're Shrek, you suddenly wind up a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. What's happened to this ogre's roar? Longing for the days when he felt like a "real ogre," Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumplestiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumplestiltskin is king and Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it's up to Shrek to undo all he's done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love.
Update five: It seems that Shrek the Fourth link does not work and direct linking is possibly impossible, so just go here and choose "title" and search for the film title. And the Legendary Vault area has been updated with description-less entries for Yucatan, Kung Fu, and The Lost Patrol, supplementing the still-standing description-less entries for Paradise Lost, Warcraft, The Mountain, and Waterproof.
