The Chroncile director may be returning to the comic book movie genre with his next follow-up...and it's NOT the rumored Fantastic Four reboot.  Instead, Sony is apparently in talks with Josh Trank to direct the long gestating Venom movie...

Over the weekend, TMP had the chance to check out the latest film in the 'found footage' genre, Chronicle. The movie has been getting a lot of buzz lately, and we're here to tell you...it's deserving of it. This is the direction found footage films need to go.

Overall, 2011 was a pretty good year for movies.  We had some great films throughout the entire year, and some very notable and memorable ones that will surely remain in our hearts from 2012 onward.  But if you thought 2011 was a crazy year for film, you ain't seen nothing yet.  2012 is ridiculous, with some extremely high profile films hitting throughout the entire year.  How is a person supposed to sort through them all?  Well, like always, TMP is here to help.  Throughout the last week of 2011, we will be covering the ENTIRE year of 2012 in full detail.  Every notable release within the next 12 months will be discussed and scrutinized in six easy to read, yet thorough segments.  2012 is going to be a huge year for film...and we'll be here every step of the way to help you through it.  Welcome to TMP's Prelude to 2012!  First up...The months of January and February!

Found footage films are all the rage these days (as the kids would say).  You go to any movie theater in the US, and chances are a found footage film had played there in the last month or so.  So where the hell did this trend come from anyways?  Well quite honestly, you can trace back the trend all the way to The Blair Witch Project.  But it wasn't until Cloverfield that the format was out back on the map.  And Paranormal Activity, of course, revolutionized it.  Now, every studio and there mother is creating a found footage film, hoping to cash in on the craze.  Most of them have been horror oriented, for that genre seems to have the most success with this medium.  However, Chronicle is different.  How different...well, that's really the question.
