Bummer and mover and shaker




There’s Good news and there are bad news. In view of a crowded fall movies line up. Harry Potter is bumped to next summer. And the magic continues by another soon to be franchise, Twilight.
While the book has proven to be a really successful franchise, it seems that the studio is eager to create another great franchise to replace the soon-to-be ending wizard world with the vampire saga. Whatever the reason is, it’d be a bummer for the Harry Fans that’s haven’t been converted into the Blood thirsty eclipse gang. We’ll see how the vampire series lead by Robert Pattinson (former a wizard in Harry Potter and died) and Kristen Stewart, fair with the left off Harry fans this fall, whether it’ll be another Harry Potter or Eragon. (not in any way to undermine the success of Eragon, but in movies it does fail to take the leash from Harry Potter. Maybe that’s the reason why the studio wants to avoid the same mistake.)
Would you trade Magic for Blood Sucker? Or will the High School Musical finally make a breakthrough and snatch the golden egg? Well, it’s wasn’t really a threat since the High School clan will not be coming for another term of school after the release of the movie. 3 will be the first and only cinematic outing for the HSM clan, unless there’s a college musical coming.
Anyway one thing is for sure, it seems that the trend for big box office movies have expanded north and south. We are seeing big sales about 2 months before moving into summer and also there will be bigger ones coming this fall, with such teenager angst charged movies coming out.
We audience however shall enjoy the benefit of great entertainment all year long. I’m just wondering how come this year the awards chasing movies haven’t start buzzing yet.
