Fantastic Four Reboot Finally Confirms Josh Trank As Director

Fantastic Four Reboot Finally Confirms Josh Trank As Director

The report acknowledges that Trank has a lot of other irons in the fire, but says Fox expects Fantastic Four will be his next movie, which means we can probably expect to see some real development very soon. It feels like it's been ages that Trank's name was attached to the project, but rumors of a reboot have gone on even longe...

Chronicle Flying Onto Blu-Ray And DVD May 15th

Chronicle Flying Onto Blu-Ray And DVD May 15th

The early trailers left me afraid Chronicle was going to be ninety minutes of youthful hooligans using telekinesis to prank people: like Project X with mutant powers. Thankfully, the flick wound up having more on its mind than proving that with great power comes great irresponsibility....

This week on Operation Kino, we've got two reviews for the price of one (OK, it's always free, but work with us here).

Michael B. Jordan Lives His Dream Acquiring Superpowers In Chronicle

Michael B. Jordan Lives His Dream Acquiring Superpowers In Chronicle

Michael B. Jordan has certainly kept busy over the years. He had The Wire back in 2002, then it was on to All My Children for nearly four years after which he moved over to The Assistants and then hit Friday Night Lights and Parenthood. When did this guy have time to make two movies? Jordan had a part in the January 20th release Red Tails and now he’s returning to the big screen yet again in Josh Trank’s Chronicle....

Michael B. Jordan Not Sure If The Friday Night Lights Movie Will Really Happen

Michael B. Jordan Not Sure If The Friday Night Lights Movie Will Really Happen

When you love a TV show, you know that eventually it’s got to come to an end. So, let’s say that day comes and the creators wrap it up rather neatly. Yes, it’s nice to end on a high note, but it’s impossible not to want more-- and that's usually in the form of a movie that the creators themselves hope will happen...

Great Debate: What's The Future Of Found Footage Movies?

The release of Chronicle inspired Katey and Eric to talk about the current state of the found footage movie fad, and whether or not the subgenera has anywhere to go, or if it just needs to die out as quickly as it arrived. If you're sick of found footage movies...

Chronicle Viral Marketing Has Teenagers Flying Above New York

Inspired by the film's promo posters, which show the three teen protagonists flying high over a city's skyline, Percelay and Krivicka decided to manufacture flying teens of their own, to soar above the skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan. Thinkmodo contracted model airplane builders in Oregon, Pennsylvania, and New York to construct 5 teen-shaped model airplanes—two were backups—for the flight that occurred January 27th. ...

Chronicle Screenwriter Max Landis Sells Space Adventure To Disney

As with most pitches, the details are still sketchy; all we know is that the film follows "the emotional journey of a brother and sister as they undertake an epic adventure." This comes just after Disney decided to go along with another untitled action adventure...

Chronicle Filmmaker Now The Frontrunner To Direct The Fantastic Four Reboot

Chronicle Filmmaker Now The Frontrunner To Direct The Fantastic Four Reboot

Josh Trank is a largely untested talent. While the young director did do five episodes of the television the series The Kill Point, he has to have a feature film released. But that all changes next month. Trank is the co-writer and director of Chronicle, a found-footage movie from 20th Century Fox about a group of teens that get superpowers. While the movie doesn't come out February 3rd, apparently Fox is extremely high on the filmmaker right now......

New 60-Second Chronicle Spot Doesn't Have Much New Footage, But Still Looks Awesome

New 60-Second Chronicle Spot Doesn't Have Much New Footage, But Still Looks Awesome

Sadly, this trailer doesn't offer much in the way of new footage - it's basically the same as the first one, only cut differently and it's a bit shorter. The movie is coming out in early February, so unless the TV spots are jammed with tons of never-before-seen stuff, this is all we're going to get until we're sitting down in a theater munching on some popcorn....

Chronicle International Poster Gives Fresh Look at Mischievous Teen Superheroes

Chronicle International Poster Gives Fresh Look at Mischievous Teen Superheroes

The found-footage nature of Trank’s shoot will have several making comparisons to The Blair Witch Project or the Paranormal Activity films, which is understandable. But this origin story reminded me more of M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable, with ordinary citizens being blessed with newfound powers and trying to figure out if they’ll be used for good or evil....

Chronicle Trailer: What Would You Do If You Had Superpowers?

When a character in fiction learns that they have certain powers and abilities that others don't possess, they have a choice to make: they can either use said powers and abilities for good and to help people, or they can use them for evil. Such is the story of Chronicle, a new film from director Josh Trank and writer Max Landis....
