ROTTEN TOMATOES: Narnia 3, del Toro's Wolfman Pushed Back

Narnia 3, del Toro's Wolfman Pushed Back

And oh, by the way, Jerry Bruckheimer hates us all.

Three high-profile films have just received new release dates.

The studios never tire of shifting releases around on the calendar, and the politics and gamesmanship that go into their scheduling decisions are always entertaining to watch (sometimes more entertaining than the films themselves, sadly). Yesterday, a post at ComingSoon (referencing data at Box Office Mojo) tipped readers off to new release dates for a trio of tentpoles.

First, Walt Disney has pushed The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader back from May 1, 2009 to May 7, 2010, thus putting a more traditional two-year distance between the second Narnia installment (next May's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian) and the third. Taking its place is something called G-Force, which ComingSoon describes as "a Jerry Bruckheimer-produced live-action/CGI family feature...which follows a group of intelligent animal commandos working for a government agency trying to prevent an evil billionaire from taking over the world."

Yes, you read that right.

Also being pushed back is Mark Romanek's The Wolfman, a remake of Universal's 1941 horror classic starring Benicio del Toro in the title role. Originally scheduled for a November 12, 2008 release, Wolfman is now slated to hit theaters in the spring of 2009.

Intelligent animal commandos. Seriously.

All I can hope is that the aformentioned film is based on the 80's cartoon show "G-Force: Guardians of Space" in which five teenagers had costumes resembling various birds and defended earth from threats and crap. I used to watch it in syndication on cartoon network and it was sweet. well, relatively speaking. I mean I thought the old GI Joe cartoon was bomb, too until I rewatched it a decade after its hayday and found it retarded. but the movie being based on a cartoon over 20 years old would be in keeping with Hollywood's latest trend of mining old-school animated action shows (see speedracer and johnny quest remakes). What I can be sure of is that G-Force is what's up if you're 8 and are eating indoor s'mores after school.

When I saw Del Toro, I thought that they were saying that Guillermo Del Toro, or however you spell it.... and that had me quite excited.. That would had been interesting. But, Benicio will be good of course

The G-Force they're talking about is with hamsters, not the "Battle Of The Planets" G-Force. I wanted the ol' school anime version to go live-action too.
