LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) – Warner Bros.’ take on the “Godzilla” saga will be released May 16, 2014, the company said Thursday.

The film is expected to be presented in 3D.

A press release issued by Warner Bros. and Legendary said that the project, which falls under Legendary’s overall agreement with Warner Bros., “will return the character to its epic roots with a gritty, realistic actioner.”

Gareth Edwards, who directed the 2010 sci-fi drama “Monsters,” will direct the project, with a screenplay from David Callaham (“The Expendables”), David S. Goyer (the “Dark Knight” trilogy) and Max Borenstein (who co-wrote the upcoming Jeff Bridges adventure fantasy “The Seventh Son”).

Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will produce, along with Roy Lee, Dan Lin and Brian Rogers. Alex Garcia and Patricia Whitcher will serve as executive producers alongside Doug Davison, Yoshimitsu Banno and Kenji Okuhira.

Warner Bros. Pictures is distributing worldwide, except for Japan, where Toho Co., Ltd.. will handle distribution.

American Airlines pilots to use iPads for flight manuals

Posted on by

The FAA gives approval for the airline to be the first commercial carrier to toss out its paper-based flight manuals in lieu of iPads — saving the airline $1.2 million in gas costs.

by Dara Kerr

American Airlines will be the first commercial carrier to have all of its pilots replace their paper-based reference flying manuals with Apple’s iPad.

The airline announced today that it received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to “to use the Apple iPad in the cockpit during all phases of flight.”

All pilots fly with a kitbag that contains necessary flight information, navigation charts, and reference materials for when they’re in the air. American is dubbing its new kitbag with the iPad an “Electronic Flight Bag.” Switching from paper manuals to the iPad will save the airline $1.2 million in fuel, since the iPad is so much lighter than the 35-pound kitbag previously used by its pilots.

Carmen Dell’Orefice, 81, is Fashion Week’s Oldest Runway Model. She’s Also the Best.

Posted on by

By Piper Weiss

Carmen Dell’Orefice was born before Fashion Week even existed. The 81-year-old, who walked the runway for both Marimekko and Norisol Ferrari at NYFW on Monday, is the oldest working supermodel in the industry and proud of it.

“It’s what I enjoy doing, and I’m able to do it,” she told the Today Show before stepping on to the runway in a mocha-colored floor-length gown.

Discovered at 13, while riding a New York City bus with her mom, she landed the cover of Vogue only three years later. That was back in 1947, when $7.50 an hour was the going rate for the gig.

“It meant nothing to me,” she recalls of seeing her first cover, “except that I thought I looked like a little boy.”

GoDaddy Goes Down After Apparent DNS Server Outage

Posted on by

By Robert McMillan

Many users of GoDaddy’s web hosting services found their websites down and their e-mail not going through on Monday afternoon, apparently following a failure of the company’s Domain Name Service servers.

GoDaddy announced the problems around 11 a.m. Pacific with a short Twitter message, saying: “We’re aware of the trouble people are having with our site. We’re working on it.”

At the same time, posters to the Outages mailing list were reporting that GoDaddy’s DNS servers — the computers that tell, among other things, internet browsers where to find web servers — had been knocked offline.

Sony’s Cyber-shot RX1 compact camera packs a full-frame sensor, ‘fits in your palm’ (hands-on)

Posted on by

By Joe Pollicino

Would you believe us if we told you Sony packed a full-frame sensor in a Cyber-shot-branded camera? It’s true! Say hello to the RX1, a “compact” digital camera for pros that’s packing the same 24.3MP Exmor CMOS sensor introduced today with the A99.

Calling the rangefinder-esque one-pound shooter small might seem off-base, especially considering the Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 35mm f/2.0 fixed prime lens protruding from its front, but it’s not so huge (3-inches high by 4.5-inches wide) up against its tiny sibling, the RX100 — taking into account how much larger the RX1’s sensor is, well, that’s when this editor’s jaw basically dropped. While it’s not a “pro-NEX” as many had hoped, Sony explained that it chose a fixed lens to avoid the bulk of a lens-mount. We were able to get some eyes-on time with an engineering prototype of the unit, so click past the break for more details, close-ups and a brief video overview.

Blu-Ray and DVD Retail Exclusives Thrive With Hits Like ‘Hunger Games’

Posted on by

by Chris Tribbey and John Latchem

The Lionsgate title recently had separate initiatives at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Costco and iTunes.

When the theatrical hit The Hunger Games arrived on disc last month, Lionsgate went all out when it came to exclusives. Walmart, Target, Best Buy and Costco all got their own exclusive Blu-ray Disc offering, while Apple’s iTunes got its own digital exclusive in the form of an interactive viewing experience.

For retailers, exclusives often make a huge difference where a shopper ultimately buys that coveted disc. But who gets what, and why, often symbolizes the complicated relationship between studios, retailers and consumers, industry observers say.
