What do you get when you combine footage from San Diego Comic-Con, exclusive greetings from some of the top Hollywood directors and to cap it all off movie premieres! Well throw all that together and you get the brainchild of Movies.ie and the latest film festival to grace our fair shores, Movie Fest! (that advert right over there —>)
With exclusive footage from Comic-Con including footage from the Tintin movie and a recorded introduction by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson for ‘The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn’ – this highly sought after clip has not been seen outside of San Diego with the film featuring some seriously high profile acting talent including Daniel Craig, Andy Serkis and Simon Pegg.
Movie Fest however does not stop there however with two full days crammed with movies that will all be premiering for the first time that weekend! Line-ups are as follows:
Saturday
Fright Night starring Colin Farrell and David Tennant – a 3D remake of the 1985 film by the same name! Farrell plays the vampire living next door to high school student/horror movie fanatic now on a quest to prove that bloodsuckers are real and stop the vampire before he lays waste to the entire town!
The Change-Up starring Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman – Freaky Friday meets The Hangover as two friends swap lives each envious of what the other has! Who cares… it’s got Ryan Reynolds in it!
Mystery Screening!
Sunday
30 Minutes or Less, action comedy starring Jesse Eisenberg and Danny McBride – loosely based on the unreal attempt by a pair of goofball wannabe criminals to rob a bank by hooking a pizza boy up to a bomb.
Cowboys and Aliens with Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford is one of the most anticipated films of the summer blockbuster season, based on the graphic novel of the same name by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg.
Mystery Screening!
In between this however there will not only be the exclusive footage we mentioned above but plenty more including behind the scenes footage of movies coming in 2012, trailers and clips never seen before and on top of all that there is also goodie bags chocked full of everything a movie fanatic could want and more!
