What I'm Excited To See- Tarzan 3D (2014)

So at the end of June I did the my first post on my Most Rewatched Films which included the 1999 Disney Tarzan movie, and doing a small bit of research (typing Tarzan into Google) I found out that another Tarzan movie is being made!

Now I didn't know whether to make this the 2nd post of What I'm Excited to See because I'm not sure if I'm excited or just horrified. Firstly I'm not keen on the use of motion capture, I think that might be because I'm just so used to thinking of Tarzan the animated Disney way that I can't picture it looking any other way.
Plus the Disney one has a soundtrack featuring Phil Collins, I mean how much better can it get. The story of both the Disney version and the 3D one differ the original story, in the Disney version Tarzan and his parents escape a burning ship before his parents are later killed by Sabor whereas in the 3D one his parents were killed in a plane crash and he is the only survivor.

Doing a little more reading I found some connections between these films and the original story one being that Tarzan's real name is John Clayton, Earl Greystoke; Clayton being his enemy in the 1999 Disney film and Greystoke being the name of his father's company in the 3D film.

I don't know much more about the film and I haven't seen the trailer but I have to say after doing a bit of reading I'm am looking forward to seeing what Tarzan 3D will be like.

Anyone else intrigued??

What I'm Excited to See | The Mortal Instruments

I used to read a teen magazine called Sugar a few years ago called Sugar (which closed in 2011 and became sugarscape.com, which I think is now part of Cosmopolitan?).
Anyway, they had a small book section every month and this is where I first discovered The Mortal Instruments. It definitely sounded like my kind of book so I gave it a read and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Sometime last year that I went online to find out when the next book was being released. Not only did I find that out, but also that there was going to be two more books in the Mortal Instruments series, a sequel series set five years in the future featuring both new and old characters, a set of prequels (The Infernal Devices) the first of which I have already read and finally a film!!!

Mind officially blown!! A film! I couldn’t believe it. This is what I wanted, one of my favourite books to be made into a film. Now months later I’ve just watched the trailer and I'm even more excited then I was before.

The film is based on the first book in the Mortal Instruments series (City of Bones) which tells the story of fifteen-year-old Clary Fray, who discovers she is a Shadowhunter after witnessing a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons.
Not everyone's type of book but it definitely is a favourite of mine.

The film is scheduled for release on 23rd August 2013, so I’m going to re-read the first 3 books and try to read the fourth before it’s released.

Are you excited to see this?

The Best Man Sequel

A sequel!! I can't believe it! Last year Universal Pictures announced that there would be a sequel to the 1999 original, and now there's a release date!! November 15th 2013!!!

I'm pretty excited about this news, I absolutely loved the first one and I might just have a little crush on Morris Chestnut and Terrence Howard.

On another note today (well technically yesterday) has been a pretty hectic day as I had to hand in both my script and my essay. Almost had a breakdown but I somehow managed to submit both pieces in on time, but I feel like it's nowhere near as good as other work I've done.

But now I finally get some time to relax and work on my blog!
