10-Minutes Behind the Scenes of 'Avatar' and a James Horner Interview

29 November 2009 1:53 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

First off, Film Music Mag has posted an audio interview with James Horner, score composer for James Cameron's upcoming sci-fi epic Avatar. In the site's lede in for the interview they write: James Horner has visited many musical worlds during over three decades that have made him into one of Hollywood's top composers. Perhaps one of the biggest reasons for his success is how Horner's boldly emotional sound can place a viewer so effectively in the skin of the characters he scores, from the mystical Indian heritage a cop explores in Thunderheart to the ethereal, exotic jungle a boy grows up in Where the River Runs Black. Or it can be the choral battlefield valor of soldiers charging into Glory, as well as the ferocious jungle danger unlocked when two children play a game of Jumanji. You can listen to the complete interview or download it to your computer right here. …

Ninja Turtles Reboot Finds Writer

20 July 2009 9:52 PM, PDT | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »

Screenwriter John Fusco, whose credits include Young Guns and Thunderheart, has signed on to write the new live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles flick. Mirage Studios is producing the film, which is still looking for a director and studio. The characters, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael and their master Splinter, first appeared in a May 1984 comic-book before spawning a lucrative line of toys and cartoon series. Producers are hoping the film will launch a new franchise. The sewer-dwelling characters, who love eating pizza when not fighting villains, also hit the big screen in three films for New Line in the early 1990s that earned more than $323 million worldwide. An animated feature in 2007 helped reignite interest in the turtles, bringing in $95 million for Warner Bros. Fusco, who’s been practicing martial arts since he was 12, and continues to study Shaolin kung fu, most recently wrote last year's The Forbidden Kingdom, which starred Jackie Chan and Jet Li. …

Writer Revealed for New Live Action Tmnt Film?

14 July 2009 3:42 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

With all the announcements leading up to this year’s Comic-Con, it would be easy for a smaller story to get lost in the shuffle. Thankfully, we live in the age of the Internet, where nothing escapes the eyes of diligent fanboys such as the writers of Ninja Pizza, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan-site.

In a recent post, which was picked up by /Film, Ninja Pizza noted that John Fusco (of Young Guns fame) was listed as the screenwriter of the 2011 live-action Tmnt film in a recent article for TMNT25.com. Because the article has since been removed (undoubtedly because a proper announcement was not made first), Fusco’s involvement in the film should be seen as speculative. However, it’s about as close to a confirmation as you can get, so let’s start asking ourselves, “What does this mean for Tmnt?”

New Live-Action Tmnt Movie Has a Writer - John Fusco

10 July 2009 12:16 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

I hope everyone is a big Tmnt fan, because we're going to be covering the hell out of this new live-action movie. The official TMNT25.com website has posted an article with details about their appearances at the San Diego Comic-Con. Their keynote presentation is a special Tmnt panel on Friday, July 24th featuring a lot of big names - creator Kevin Eastman, Mirage Studios CEO Gary Richardson, director of the original Tmnt movies Steve Barron, and producers Galen Walker and Scott Mednick. Listed last is John Fusco, whose title is "writer of the new Tmnt movie (slated for 2011)." Looks like they finally have a writer! Fusco's past credits include Young Guns, Thunderheart, Hidalgo, and The Forbidden Kingdom recently. That last one makes me shudder. It seems he's involved probably for his knowledge of martial arts and its mythology, like Bushido, as he's writing The Seven Samurai remake as well …
