According to many analysts GTA IV is going to hurt Iron Man’s box office. Lets think about this for a second. If this is true, all gamers (approximately 6 million expected to purchase the game) are either too poor, or too addicted that they won’t be able to take 2 hours to get up off of the couch and check out Iron Man. Sounds a little fishy to me. Iron Man is expected to take in over $100 million in the opening weekend, if those 6 million gamers ignore the movie, it should make about $36 million less…we’ll see about that.

What do you think, is GTA going to have a big effect on Iron Man’s box office?

Warner Home Video has announced that they will be releasing a director’s cut of Alex Proyas‘ 1998 cult film Dark City on July 29th 2008 on both DVD and Blu-ray. The new cut is 15 minutes longer and supposedly has improved special effects and a new and improved sound mix.

Warner Bros. has released 5 new international posters for The Dark Knight. A new trailer is expected to be released in front of Iron Man this week and is sure to be online shortly afterwards. Click here to see the rest of the posters larger.

The Coen Brothers new film Burn After Reading is set to open at this year’s Venice Film festival. Burn, written and directed by the Coen’s is centered around a CIA agent (John Malkovich) whose cover is blown. A disc containing his memoirs finds its way into the hands of two DC workers who decide to exploit the find (how, I don’t know…). As well as Malkovich, it also stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tilda Swinton, and Frances McDormand.

The officials at Venice haven’t decide whether it will open in competition, or not. To put things in perspective, last year’s No Country For Old Men opened (at Cannes) out of competition.

The Coens have started production on their script A Serious Man which is a (drum roll) dark comedy. It’s expected to have a release in late ‘09.
