In feverish anticipation of the public unveiling of [1] Transformers: The Ride December 2 at Universal Studios Singapore, several videos have popped online that give you both a tour inside the ride and brief glimpses of the ride itself. We’ve seen photos [2], but now it’s movie time. Enough fuss, the videos are after the jump. Thanks to Disney and More [3] for this first video, it’s a long news broadcast… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : /Film Discovery Date : 21/11/2011 05:00 Number of articles : 2
Happy Wednesday! Also in this edition of The Broadsheet: Kristen Stewart rumored for Akira … The Expendables 2 upsets the Bulgarian bat population… Ron Meyer tries a little tenderness… There is a Dutch version of Jersey Shore … and more.
Listen closely and you can hear the womp wooommp coming out of Universal HQ from miles away — that’s the refrain of the day as Tower Heist underperformed its way into second place behind the incredibly resilient Shrek spinoff Puss in Boots . Faring as well as could be reasonably expected in both films’ shadows, find the latest Harold & Kumar installment. Your Weekend Receipts are here.
The sweetest feel-good flick of the holiday season may well be the one about two ex-BFFs, who’d once gone in search of White Castle sliders and tangled with Homeland Security, who reunite on Christmas Eve to hunt down the perfect fir, crossing paths with drug-sniffing babies, Ukrainian gangsters, and a sweater-clad Danny Trejo along the way. Stoner heroes Harold and Kumar have come a long way since 2004 — and so has co-star John Cho , who sat down with Movieline recently to talk H&K, career moves, and his encounters with the likes of U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and President Obama.
I was traveling all day as Movieline’s report from the Savannah Film Festival picked up steam around the blogosphere, but early on it was clear that two polar-opposite reactions were building in response to Universal Studios chief Ron Meyer’s comments about his studio’s well-publicized (at least, outside of the studio) recent flops. Either you love his blazing moment of candor — because we’ve all thought the same about most, if not all, of the woeful Universal films mentioned — or you despise what he stands for. But Meyer is a businessman, the President and COO of one of the largest movie studios and theme park conglomerates in the business. Should more filmmakers and studio heads follow suit?

Whew! It’s been quite the eventful week here at Movieline, what with Netflix’s Qwikster dying on the vine, indie theater owners giving Universal and VOD what for, and the crazy real life developments you couldn’t have dreamed up. (Random Task, we’re looking at you… in fear.) Hit your Friday Week in Review and come tomorrow for the weekend stylings of Louis Virtel.

Buckling under the bruising blows of theater chains and independents who’d vowed to boycott the film, Universal has agreed to cancel its experimental VOD release of Tower Heist three weeks after the film opens on Nov. 4.
