For his feature film directorial debut, Director Sam Taylor-Wood is tackling a biopic of John Lenon, the leader of the Beatles: the movie, titled Nowhere Boy, is about John Lenon’s childhood and adolescence. It is starring Aaron Johnson, Thomas Sangster, Anne-Marie Duff, and Kristin Scott Thomas.

Here below the first official movie trailer of Nowhere Boy:

NOWHERE BOY

Discover the untold story of John Lenon!

It’s a quite intimate look to the early life of the star. And I think it’s a quite honest look since it’s is based on the book ‘Imagine This: Growing Up With My Brother John Lennon’ by Lennon’s half sister Julia Baird.

We had the remastered Beatles albums and now we have a movie dedicated to John Lenon: it’s like the Beatle mania has been reignited!

The Resident is an upcoming thriller drama movie written and directed by Antti Jokinen and starring Hilary Swank, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Christopher Lee. The movie will be released in 2010.
Here’s a first glimpse at The Resident:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“Every year, three million single women in America move into an apartment for the first time. They do not know who lived in the apartment before them, they do not know their landlords, and they don’t bother to change the locks. This is the story of one such woman…
After separating from her husband, pretty young doctor Juliet Dermer (Hilary Swank) moves to Brooklyn, settling into a new life in a stunning and spacious loft apartment that seems too good to be true.
It is…
Mysterious occurrences lead her to suspect that she is not alone in her home and quickly her fears become all too real. In a chilling revelation, she discovers that her seemingly charming, young landlord, Max (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), has developed a dangerous obsession with her. A terrifying game of cat and mouse ensues as Juliet fights to free herself from Max’s sinister intentions.”

The plot of The Resident could be based on a true story: the world is full of freaks! Just a few months ago, I heard about a landlord who rigged a hidden camera in the bedroom of a teenage tenant… But it’s even worse in the movie because the landlord dares to enter in the house! Creepy! Such stories can but convince people to support the NRA!
;-P

A new preview clip of Bad Lieutenant is available, the upcoming dark comedy directed by Werner Herzog starring Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes:

Bad Lieutenant – Do you see I am on the phone?
Terence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage) needs his prescription but the service isn’t the most customer friendly…

This scene of Bad Lieutenant is much more hilarious when you’re watching the movie in a theater with other people around laughing with you!

Here’s a first look at Zoe Saldana as Aisha on the set of The Losers, the upcoming action movie directed by Sylvain White and based on the DC comic book of the same name:

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)

Aisha is described as the loose cannon among the Losers. She is identified by her eyebrow piercing and tied-back hair. She may look cute but she’s no little girl: she’s a walking weapon, expert in all combat skills, and she prefers to leave corpses rather than survivors when she engages the enemy!

Sounds like there is going to be some real action for Zoe Saldana in the Losers movie!

Love in an upcoming sci-fi movie directed by William Eubank. The film is inspired by the upcoming album of the same name by the alternative rock band Angels & Airwaves.The release date is said to be Valentine’s Day, 2010, (February 14, 2010).

Here’s the latest official movie trailer of Love:

LOVE
Plot:
“After losing contact with Earth, Astronaut Lee Miller becomes stranded in orbit alone aboard the International Space Station. As time passes and life support systems dwindle, Lee battles to maintain his sanity – and simply stay alive. His world is a claustrophobic and lonely existence, until he makes a strange discovery aboard the ship. Driven by the powerful music of Angels and Airwaves, Love explores the fundamental human need for connection and the limitless power of hope… A high-impact visual adventure, that resonates a common truth, that everyone has a story to tell and something even greater to leave behind.”

I haven’t heard of this movie before seeing the trailer today, and I’m quite hooked now! I’m totally thrilled by this kind of movies. It kind of feels like Richard Kelly’s Donnie Darko and Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris, but the whole thing boosted with the music of Angels & Airwaves.

An earlier trailer of Love leaked online some time ago, and it just confirms that Love is gonna be a good sci-fi movie, an existentialist sci-fi movie: Continue Reading »

In the movie The Box, is Camron Diaz being tested by a messenger of God or tempted by the devil? Watch a few preview clips of The Box below:

The Box – This offer is quite real
Arlington Steward (Frank Langella) makes Norma (Cameron Diaz) an offer she can’t refuse.

The Box – Trouble Has Found You
Arlington Steward (Frank Langella) warns Norma (Cameron Diaz) about consequences.

The Box – Just a box
Norma (Cameron Diaz) can’t resist the shiny red button.
Plot:
“A small wooden box arrives on the doorstep of a married couple, who know that opening it will grant them a million dollars and kill someone they don’t know.”

I’d be glad to claim that I would never push this red button, but I don’t want to fool myself, greed sounds so sweet to my ear… What about you?

Sandra Bullock is both a mother and a football coach in the Blind Side, an upcoming movie based on the true story of football player Michael Oher. Here’s the official movie poster of The Blind Side:

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“A poor, oversized and under-educated teenager is recruited by a major college football program where he is groomed into an athletically and academically successful NFL prospect. Based on Michael Lewis’ book, ‘The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game’.”

The Blind Side is an inspiring story, and there is definitely a lesson in this movie: raising kids involves much more than paying school fees! Want your kid to succeed? Then help them, be there for them!
;-)

A new international trailer of the Green Zone, the upcoming war thriller movie starring Matt Damon, has been released:

GREEN ZONE MOVIE TRAILER
Plot:
“A thriller about a pair of CIA agents on the trail of certain Weapons of Mass Destruction and a foreign correspondent following their mission. Inspired by Imperial Life in the Emerald City.”

This new cut of the Green Zone trailer is way better than the US trailer. I wonder why they didn’t release this version of the trailer from the start… But now, it kind of reminds of Body of Lies with Leonardo DiCaprio..
:p

Take a look to this international poster of the Fourth Kind:

How To Train Your Dragon Movie

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)

The young boy in the middle is called Hiccup: he’s a young unassuming boy whose life is gonna change for the best when he encounters a fantastic dragon.

Here’s the plot of How To Train Your Dragon:
“The film is set in a mythical world of vikings and dragons. The story centers around a viking teenager named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor is disliked by his tribe and its chief, Hiccup’s father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down”

The film is based on the book of the same name by Cressida Cowell.

SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD
Plot:
“On an island off the coast of North America, local residents simultaneously fight a zombie epidemic while hoping for a cure to return their un-dead relatives back to their human state.”

Humor, zombies, and action: Director George Romero is bringing a quite good zombie movie. If only it was also starring the best zombie slayers ever: Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil 4) and Woody Harrelson (Zombieland)!
