But her career is taking her a little farther than she expected.
In New Town Renee Zellweger plays the role of a corporate dominatrix who learns to appreciate the charm of the little country town (New Ulm, Minnesota according to the plot, but the movie was actually filmed in Canada… Patriotism is not that strong anymore Hollywood, but has it ever really been strong?) she just moved in and “surprisingly” falls in love with the local stallion who’s the stereotype of a countrified man.

Knowing is one more tale of the end of the world. The science-fiction film, directed by Alex Proyas, is starring Nicolas Cage as a professor trying to prevent the mysterious prophecy encrypted in the content of a time capsule coming from his son’s elementary school:
Kim Basinger, not so long ago the most sexy woman in the world (and still pretty with age!), is the lead character of While She Was Out, an upcoming thriller movie directed by Susan Montford. She plays the role of a woman who finds the strength to fight back when randomly attacked by a group of vicious young men. A poster of While She Was Out has been unveiled:
(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)
WHILE SHE WAS OUT
Everyone has a breaking point.
Tonight she reaches hers…
This poster is quite creative, take time to decipher the torn agenda with the blood spilled over:
– Tuesday: Dance practice
– Wednesday: Mechanics class
– Thursday: Kill or die!
Kim Basinger’s While She Was Out movie will be released on December 12, 2008.

The role of Goku is played by Justin Chatwin. But don’t expect the Goku from the manga: Justin Chatwin’s Goku is more likely to be a tamed version. If I was bold enough I’d even say smallvillesque… A stark example of this movie being a let down is Goku being described as a young teenager going to high school, yeap that’s the Smallville effect in action!

Describing a post-apocalyptic future must be trendy: there is a a new independent movie titled White Wall that’s presenting a bleak world in which almost all of Mankind seems to have been wiped out by some mysterious virus following a war. The movie White Wall is directed by James Boss.
Upon seeing the director listed in the cast of his own movie I started to think it was but a low budget sci-fi movie. Fortunately I went to the official site and I must admit that I am now caught in the universe of White Wall. I strongly recommend to visit the official site of White Wall (here).
To convince you, just have a look to this first official teaser trailer of White Wall:
Plot:
“A virus has decimated humanity and left the world in squalor and full of violence. Shawn Kors world is confined to a large white wall and he looks for a way out and a cure to the virus, VXII, until he gets close to the truth.
Set in a wasteland enclosed by a large white wall, the last survivor from a brutal child internment camp reluctantly takes on one final bounty hunting job to protect the idyllic life he has rebuilt.”
Here below two stills from the movie (via Quiet Earth):
The movie looks like an artistic take on a potential post-apocalyptic future. Director James Boss shows a real creativity. If the acting is good enough to translate the universe we have a glimpse of on the official site, White Wall could become a cult movie or at least, be a stepping stone for James Boss’ career as film director.
The movie should be released in 2009. No official date yet though, not even sure it will have a theatrical release, but would be great to see this in a theater.

Director Robert Luketic (legally Blonde) is bringing us a new romantic comedy movie titled The Ugly Truth. It is starring Gerard Butler, Katherine Heigl, Cheryl Hines and Bonnie Somerville. The Ugly Truth movie should be released on April 3, 2009 July 24, 2009.
Here below the first official trailer of The Ugly Truth:
This Spring
The UGLY TRUTH
Plot:

Cast:
– Katherine Heigl as the romantically challenged morning show producer;
– Gerard Butler as her chauvinistic correspondent;
– Cheryl Hines as a co-anchor of the morning show.
What about you like it on top? Right, some easy jokes in The Ugly Truth, but one should not refrain from laughing! Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler are a good match. The Ugly Truth is a nice movie to start Springs before entering in the summer of love!

Comments Off on Stephen Daldry The Reader Movie Poster
The Reader, a movie adaptation of the novel of the same name written by Bernhard Schlink, is brought to us by director Stephen Daldry. It should be released in early January 2009.
The poster currently used for the promotion of the Reader in the USA is the white one, but I prefer the darker version: it would be a much better choice for the Reader!

Director Tony Gilroy brings us a new spy thriller movie titled Duplicity. The story revolves around two corporate spies with a romantic history who collaborate to carry out a complicated con. The film is starring Clive Owen, Julia Roberts, Tom Wilkinson, and Paul Giamatti. Duplicity is scheduled to be released on March 20, 2009.
Here below the first official Duplicity trailer:
Claire Stenwick Ex-CIA
Ray Koval ex-MI6

Two rival corporations
One perfect plan
From the writer and director of Michael Clayton
comes a story about scheming, spying, stealing
and other adventures that couples share
DUPLICTY
Plot:
“Two corporate spies (Owen and Roberts) team up to manipulate a corporate race to corner the market on a medical innovation that will reap huge profits.”
Cast:
– Clive Owen plays a corporate spy for a rival pharmaceutical company;
– Julia Roberts plays a corporate spy for a rival pharmaceutical company;
– Tom Wilkinson plays the CEO of one of the rival companies;
– Paul Giamatti plays the CEO of one of the rival companies.
Trust is a dynamic variable in the world of spies. And it’s even more explosive when love gets in!
The duo Clive Owen / Julia Roberts is rather appealing. And judging from this trailer of Duplicity the movie nicely integrates a comic dimension! Duplicity seems to be a win!

The cinema industry is trying hard to make movie posters interactive. Not so long ago there were talking posters for The Spirit. Now we have a motion poster for Terminator 4 that brings together sound and picture in a nice animation (just click on the poster to launch the animation):
The movie Taken was first scheduled for September 2008, but for some mysterious reason it was postponed… Fortunately, a US theatrical release of Taken is still on the agenda: Taken will be released on January 30, 2009.

This movie poster of Notorious reall let you think that this is the original rapper! But of course it is not: his role is played by Jamal Woolar, who is also a rapper by the way.
