Disneyland’s Alice In Wonderland ride has been shut down for the coming weeks due to a possible safety hazard. No date has been set for the ride to re-open since it is unclear how long the repairs will take. However, it is assumed that the ride will not be closed for more than a few weeks.
The repair is apparently to help prevent maintenance workers from falling off of the track of the ride while they are servicing it.
Actor Mark Ruffalo has signed on to play the Hulk in Marvel’s upcoming movie “The Avengers.” We have a lot of trouble picturing Mark in the role, but he’s a great actor so we’re sure he can pull it off!
Here is a list of a few of the movies Mark has been in:
- Date Night
- Shutter Island
- Where The Wild Things Are
- 13 Going On 30
- Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
“The Avengers” is set to debut in theaters in May 2012. What do you think of Mark as the Hulk?
In the video below you can hear Chris Hemsworth discuss what it was like during the movie-making process to make the characters in Marvel’s upcoming movie “Thor” relateable to movie-goers. Chris talks about how the characters are Gods and the challenge was to also make them human so the audience could feel as if they were on the same level while watching the film:
“Thor” is set to hit theaters in May 2011, do you plan on going to see it?
When we started playing the new “Toy Story 3: The Video Game” from Disney Interactive Studios, we were curious if Disney paid the original “Toy Story 3″ voice actors to voice the characters in the game, or if they got new voice actors to do it.
When we were playing the game we could tell that there was something a bit different about Woody’s voice, but it sounded enough like Tom Hanks that we didn’t question it any further – until we came across Tom’s brother Jim’s IMDB.com page – which states that he did the voice of Woody in the game!
Turns out Jim Hanks is an actor as well, and he has done a lot of voice acting in the past. He will also soon be acting in and directing the movie “When We Were Pirates,” which stars one of our favorite actors, Jorge Garcia from ABC’s “LOST.”
Jim did not grow up with Tom. When their parents divorced, Tom and two of his siblings continued to live with their father while Jim, the youngest, lived with their mother. In the early years of Jim’s acting he went under the name Jim Matthews so he wouldn’t get roles based on his brother Tom’s popularity.
Jim was a body double for Tom in the movie “Forrest Gump” and has even been the voice of the Toys R Us giraffe Geoffrey since 2001. Jim has also voiced the Toy Story character Woody in a number of other projects for the Disney/Pixar franchise, including:
- Toy Story Racer (2001)
- Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins (2000)
- Toy Story (1996)
We LOVE Jorge Garcia, better known as Hurley from ABC’s hit series “LOST,” and we were so excited to find out that he has signed on to do a new movie that will release to theaters in 2012. Not many of the stars of “LOST” have been offered new roles, so we have been bummed about that for a while, but with this new information it shines a light on “LOST” being over!
Jorge’s new movie is called “When We Were Pirates” and it is being directed by Jim Hanks. Not much information is available about the movie yet except for the fact that it is about a group a friends who are bound together by their love for playing pirate – fun!
We’ll keep you posted!
