Despicable Me 2 blocked by Chinese censor, but Smurfs sequel approved

Hollywood studios take note: to crack the lucrative Chinese market, it may help if your films star smurfs instead of zombies. Reformed cartoon supervillains, it should be added, are also a hazard to censorship.

This week, Chinese authorities gave the green light to Sony Pictures's 3D comedy The Smurfs 2 for domestic distribution, while previously rejecting the Brad Pitt zombie thriller World War Z and the animated film Despicable Me 2, in which Steve Carell plays a former villain. The original Smurfs film was a hit with Chinese audiences, earning $40m on its release in 2011.

It remains to be seen if the sequel will equal that haul. While Sony's film appears to have cleared domestic censors, its distribution has yet to be formalised. Variety reports that the Chinese government has previously reversed its decisions without explanation.

Even if The Smurfs 2 is released, its fate is by no means assured. Last April, the state-run China Film Group Corporation ordered Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino's blood-soaked western, to be immediately pulled from Chinese cinemas. Earlier this year, the science fiction epic Cloud Atlas was approved for distribution only after a reported 40 minutes of love scenes were cut.

The Smurfs 2 will be released, uncut, in the US and UK on 31 July, and in Australia on 12 September..

Get Lost Short Film Teaser Trailer : Another Lost Trailer And Story Behind it...

Hi, I am R.Shamfa . The Actor ( In Black White Stripes shirt)
Producer, Screenwriter also Director for this Project
Called
"GET LOST"

It was shame for me to say to you. You seen this trailer and you never watch it again because it never make it into the real short film. Yes, This was my second new short film project after Short film Two which in malay I call it Dua. 

You can check out my short film 'Two'  by following this link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98pDlEhzI30

Well the background of this story is really a man chased and find somebody with the name 'LOST' which is LOST is the name of the man who will give him a life (Well, you must say it ridiculous don't you) . The Concept is really about about Life is like the Battery-charger which is mean it will not last long until we find to charge from it. but it doesn't mean it free, it mean something you have to sacrifice it to get your life. So, to make it simple, Theme is GET YOUR LIFE. Understood?

Then, Don't forget to See my second Teaser Trailer which is my favorite trailer but I never showed for long time because it never make it to real picture.. by following this link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxuNus4dhbg

The story behind is simple.. DISORGANIZED.. Yes, I just disorganized by don't prepare the exact budget according the management of budget and location and other than the shooting that time was during Ramadhan mean the fasting month for Muslim which difficult me to finalized my short film.. What can I remember during Preproduction and Production that day,  I make Audition and Casting. There were some kid in my university seem  try to beat me down by playing themselves  to fool me. 

Well that time I manage to some actor, some crew and myself to shoot a few day and that day was night in Ramadan night after Break Fast ( Mean Berbuka Puasa which is that time that night muslim can eat after 13 hour of fasting start from 5am-7.30pm depend on Azan prayer that night that call "maghrib" )

So, That time it was so difficult to finish for shooting because of problem of finding and locate the next location and balancing my time between shooting and study and that time was fasting month it hard for me to gather with myself and assemble with another actor. other than, lack of management of time and lack of budget which is can be excuse for me to say that...

Well, what ever excuse it is. it not acceptable. because the basic of all I don't finished it. So, When I realized by looking again and again these Trailer. I realized I need remake this short film again.what I mean is I want to continue this project after a few year that I've been missing not doing it and not finish it.

But for now on..  I am working on to  get some job, get some money. And Then After That,

If nothing stop me to do that again, I will continue ..

Joss Whedon says Agent Coulson unlikely to return for Avengers 2

"That would be an entire B story"

Jul 24th 2013By George Wales

Joss Whedon has been doing plenty of press following the announcement of the Avengers sequel as Avengers: Age Of Ultron, with the recurring presence of Agent Coulson the latest issue to be tackled by the Marvel supremo.
If you'll cast your minds back, you'll recall Coulson being unceremoniously offed by Loki in The Avengers, only for the character to be resurrected in TV show Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. So will Coulson be back on board for the movie sequel?

"He could," concedes Whedon. "Right now it’s not something I’m pursuing because I have so much going on in Avengers 2. Finding out that Coulson is alive would be an entire B story. And I already have too much movie!"

That said, he's keen to ensure that the new TV show doesn't exist in isolation from what's happening in the films.

"We need to make sure there’s some crossover," says Whedon, "but not so much that people go, ‘Well, I don’t need to see that movie. I saw it on TV.’ If we do that, Kevin Feige is going to come after me with a pitchfork."

Avengers: Age Of Ultron will open in the UK on 1 May 2015.
