More news from movie land. The Men in Black 3 film is scheduled for release on May 25, 2012. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones will be reprising their roles. And shooting will begin on Mad Max 4: Fury Road in April, the next installment for George Miller’s franchise. These two franchises have been good with the movies quality see-sawing. Hopefully, both will be fun new installments.
Kenshin Photo
AnimeNews Network has put up the photo above, from the January 2012 Jump Square magazine, of Takeru Satoh as Kenshin. So the live action Rurouni Kenshin film is still in the works and I’m sure it will be licensed for the U.S. market, since the anime was so popular in the States.

AMV of the Week
This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber xwiz89. Xwiz89 takes the song “Just the Way You Are”, performed by Bruno Mars and edits it to two different anime. One of the anime is Nyan Koi and the other is Bakemonogatari. The editing is not done to match up the lyrics of the song. What is done is xwiz89 takes images from both anime that emulates what Bruno Mars sings about in his song. The image selection is nicely done and the editing of the images is seamless. You can check out the AMV on YouTube under the tag “Just the Way You Are AMV” or you can watch it below. A job well done xwiz89, hopefully you will do more than just this one AMV.
