"Karate Kid" Remake Filmmaker Rumored to Direct "Bakugan" movie

Harald Zwart, the director of the 2010 remake of The Karate Kid is rumored to direct a live-action adaption of the Japanese anime and game series "Bakugan", under the production of Universal Studios, says The Wrap. The Norwegian film director previously released films such as Agent Cody Banks and The Pink Panther 2.

I don't know how to feel about this. I'm in no way a Bakugan fan but I'd probably sit through a movie about it, but The Karate Kid remake was such a fail that I'm not sure.

And, really, can you actually take Dan's hair seriously in real life?

Feel free to use this post for casting hopes.

Zoroark: Master of Illusion ENGLISH TRAILER, Dates for the Giveaway of the Legendary Pokemon, and Victini and the Dark Hero Japanese Release Date!

UPDATE: The trailer was removed from YouTube, but can be watched at the Pokemon website, there is a link below.

A LOT OF INFO! First, the ENGLISH TRAILER of the Zoroark movie, named Zoroark: Master of Illusion!



The movie is set to be released February 2011. Here's the summary from Pokemon.com:

The Fury of Zoroark Has Been Unleashed!

The Pokémon Baccer World Cup.

It is the most anticipated event of the year, and as hundreds flock to Crown City to watch the exciting competition unfold, Ash, Pikachu, and his friends encounter a mysterious new Pokémon they have never seen before.

But when the three Legendary Pokémon Raikou, Entei, and Suicune suddenly arrive and begin rampaging through the streets, it’s up to Ash and his companions, along with their new Pokémon friend Zorua, to uncover the secret behind the immense and powerful forces at work.

What strange and dangerous powers are afoot in Crown City? Why did Celebi suddenly return after vanishing for twenty years? And why is the mighty Zoroark unleashing its fury upon the town? The quest for these answers leads down an uncertain path filled with peril—can Ash and his companions find enough courage, strength, and friendship to unearth the mystery in time to save Crown City?

Release Date: February 2011

Now, the dates for the giveaway of the shiny Entei, Raikou, and Suicune. According to this page on the official Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver website, each one will be available at Gamestop stores for a short period of time starting in early January. Here are the dates:

Raikou: January 3rd through January 9th
Entei: January 17th through January 23rd
Suicune: January 31st through February 6th

Next, the dates for Victini and the Dark Hero! It will be aired in Japanese theaters on July 16th, 2011. Two events will take place near that dates where you can get Pokemon, as always. I assume they will be Victini and Zekrom, or maybe a different Pokemon that has a main purpose in the movie that we don't know about yet. I'll tell you the Pokemon being given out when I know!

Well, finally, I'm done with this post. A lot of info. *sigh* I missed this excited feeling, like what I had when Black and White were coming out! I guess I'll get the feeling again when Victini and the Dark Hero comes out, and when Black and White come out in other countries!

Winx Magical Adventure Movie Trailer (English)

I haven't been posting much Winx news lately, because of the Pokemon news overload, but I thought this was really important. The trailer is...ok. I don't really like it. I mean, it's alright, but it could be better. I got this from Una Di Noi, and I have to agree with the Oblivious Prattler (the owner of Una Di Noi). It could be better.

FINAL Zoroark Trailer!

The movie is coming out in less than a week, and here's the final trailer! Eight minutes and forty seconds long!

The Avventura Magica Summary and Movie Pictures

Thanks to Una Di Noi for originally posting this, who got it from Impero dei Cartoni.

Alfea celebrates the inauguration of the new school year when the party is interrupted by Icy, Darcy and Stormy, the perfidious Trix. The Winx, without Bloom, are forced to remedy the confusion created by the witches who, having ruined the party, steal a powerful and mysterious object. Meanwhile, Bloom is on Domino, experiencing the best moments of her new life as a princess. She finally found her parents, and Sky asks her to marry him. But not all that glitters is gold; the Three Ancestral Witches, in fact, come back to haunt Stella, Layla, Tecna, Musa, Flora and Bloom. Moreover, Erendor, Sky’s father, forbids his son to marry the princess of Domino. A dark secret lies in the realm of Eraklyon. Meanwhile, with the help of Trix, the Ancestresses are able to find the Tree of Life that holds the positive and negative balance of magic. With a powerful spell, they break this balance and suck all the good energy from Magix. Bloom and her friends find themselves powerless and forced to again confront the witches, the symbol of all evil. Will our heroes find a way to restore balance in the Magical Dimension? And what is the secret that separates Sky and Bloom? Will their love survive this new test? Between hilarious gags and moments of real magic, the Winx return to fly.

So, Roxy isn't mentioned at all in the summary, but maybe she'll be in the movie, because it is still months away from the Italian release. And, the Trix are back! I'm happy about that, they were my second favorite villains. The used to be my favorite, but when the English Season 4 came out, the Fairy Hunters became my favorite. What's your favorite villain, leave it in the comments!! They also mention the secret. I wonder what that's all about. Some people are spreading the rumor that Sky is adopted, but that's just that, a rumor. Now, for the movie pictures!! (And a movie poster.) Thanks to Winx-Fairies and Winx-Fashion.
