Sniper: Reloaded is available on DVD/Blu_ray from Sony Pictures as of 4/26/11
In 1993, Tom Berenger starred as a tough as nails U.S. Marine sniper Thomas Beckett, whose standing orders were to seek out rebels and remove them using his sniper skills. In 2011, Chad Michael Collins takes over the military position from Berenger as the franchise continues with the newest addition titled Sniper: Reloaded.
In Sniper:Reloaded, Chad Michael Collins plays Sgt. Brandon Beckett, a hotheaded infantry grunt and the estranged son of Berenger’s elite sniper Thomas Beckett. Brandon is military all the way, but determined not to follow in his father’s footsteps as a sniper even though circumstances seem to be pushing him in that direction.
Chad Michael Collins, who describes himself as an ‘accidental’ actor who has fully embraced “playing pretend for a living,” landed in LA to work in public relations. After several years of doing celebrity PR, he was approached by a prominent manager/producer who convinced him to try out an acting class – his first ever. Collins has a strong screen presence that lends itself well to playing soldiers and men of action, which has led him to be an actor with a diverse resume ranging from roles in horror movies Legion of the Dead and Lake Placid Three to numerous guest appearances on top rated television series including NCIS and CSI:NY.
Eclipse Magazine recently caught up with Chad Michael Collins to talk to him about his starring role in the newly released to DVD movie, Sniper: Reloaded.

It’s official, Sony Pictures just sent over the press release announcing that Andrew Garfield is the next Peter Parker. How do you go from Tobey Maguire to this guy? He looks too old for the part, since rumor has it’s going to be yet another origin story. Who is this guy, you all ask? I have no clue. He was in The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus and he’s in several upcoming movies including something called The Social Network. So I actually think it’s good that they went with an relative unknown for this, but he doesn’t look the part – maybe a post high school Spider-Man, then I could see it. I’m sure Sony is going to make a huge splash at Comic Con to roll this guy out. The full gushing press release is after the break.

Ok, I’ll admit I almost teared up watching the trailer for the upcoming Michael Jackson movie – This is It. Sony and AIG did a great job on this, makes you wonder what a full blown live tour would have been like. From the brief moments you see, MJ still had it. You can check out the trailer here. The movie opens Oct 28 and will run for two weeks.

I’m going to do something I rarely do at Eclipse and that’s blatently “borrow a borrowed” story from another website. Huffingtonpost.com linked over to a Wallstreet Journal story about a Sony Picture’s Exec being a typical arrogant Sony jerk saying “I’m a guy who doesn’t see anything good having come from the Internet,” said Sony Pictures Entertainment chief executive officer Michael Lynton. “Period. This was just too stupid a comment to let go. You can check out the full story here.

Sony has a slew of new Blu-Ray titles coming in the next few weeks including We Own The Night, 30 Days of Night, and Across the Universe. Here are the press releases for each title.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is proud to present We Own The Night on DVD, Blu-ray™ High-Def and PSP February 12, 2008. This action-driven mob thriller starring Joaquin Phoenix (Walk The Line, Gladiator), Mark Wahlberg (The Departed, Shooter), Robert Duvall (Tender Mercies, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now) and Eva Mendes (Ghost Rider) arrives on disc with exclusive bonus features, including a commentary with writer/director James Gray and three action-packed “making of” featurettes, for the SRP of $28.95 (DVD), $38.96 (BD) and $24.94 (PSP). Bobby Green (Phoenix) is the popular manager of El Caribe, the legendary Russian-owned nightclub in Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach. For Bobby, every night is a party as he greets friends and customers or dances with his beautiful Puerto Rican girlfriend, Amada Juarez (Mendes), in a haze of cigarette smoke and disco music. But it is 1988, and New York City’s drug trade is escalating. He has changed his last name and concealed his connection to a long line of prominent New York police officers. Bobby tries to keep his distance from a Russian gangster operating out of the nightclub – a gangster also targeted by his brother, Joseph Grusinsky (Wahlberg), an up-and-coming NYPD officer, and his father, Burt Grusinsky (Duvall), the legendary deputy chief of police.
