We’ve got our hands on a new clip of Alvin and the Chipmunks 4 The Road Chip, the upcoming family movie sequel directed by Walt Becker:

Alvin and the Chipmunks – “Uptown Funk” songPlot synopsis:
“Through a series of misunderstandings, Alvin, Simon and Theodore come to believe that Dave is going to propose to his new girlfriend in New York City – and dump them. They have three days to get to him and stop the proposal.”

No offense to Redfoo’s fans, but this song is much better than the theme song he lent to Alvin and the Chipmunks!

Release date: December 18, 2015.

Here’s a first official look at White Girl, the upcoming drama movie written and directed by Elizabeth Wood and starring Morgan Saylor, Brian Sene Marc, Justin Bartha, Chris Noth, India Menuez, and Adrian Martinez:

(Click on the picture to enlarge.)

Plot synopsis:
“A college student goes to extremes to get her drug dealer boyfriend out of jail.
The cross section between New York’s mean streets and its gentrified alcoves makes for potent social satire in Elizabeth Wood’s tough and exhilarating debut. Equipped with platinum blonde hair and a winning smile, college girl Leah (Morgan Saylor) seeks out pleasure in any form. She has two weeks before fall semester, and in between getting high with her roommate and snorting lines with her boss, she finds time to hit it off with a handsome, young Puerto Rican drug dealer named Blue. Within days, the two are selling dime bags to her affluent white colleagues, collecting fast cash, and living the high life. But their euphoria comes to a grinding halt once Blue is arrested and Leah’s left with a hefty amount of his coke. Does she sell it to save him or use it herself?”

I heard love can literally drive you crazy… That said, I really don’t understand why one would date a drug dealer in the first place… Well maybe it was love at first sight here…

Anyway, here’s an interview with the film cast:

There’s no official release date yet.

Check out the awesome science-fiction short film “Envoy” directed by David Weinstein:

ENVOYPlot:
“A science fiction, action adventure, short film to be used as a proof of concept for a larger full-length feature film story. A young boy discovers a deadly alien creature and winds up entangled in a top secret government operation.”

The alien looks like the bastard child of a predator and a protoss (from the video game Starcraft). Awesome!

Anyway, let’s hope David Weinstein will get to develop a full-length movie based on this story. Continue reading »

The Photoshop artist behind the UK and Dutch posters of Joy, the upcoming drama comedy biography movie directed by David O. Russell, was a bit heavy with his brush:

(Click on a poster to enlarge.)

Plot synopsis:
“The wild story of a family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Betrayal, treachery, the loss of innocence and the scars of love, pave the road in this intense emotional and human comedy about becoming a true boss of family and enterprise facing a world of unforgiving commerce. Allies become adversaries and adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the family, as Joy’s inner life and fierce imagination carry her through the storm she faces.”

Jennifer Lawrence’s face on this poster reminds me of a shop dummy!

Anyway, we also have two new TV spots:

Joy – Success

Joy – Chance

Give yourself a chance and success will follow!

Release date: December 25, 2015.

You may watch below the first official trailer of Eye in the Sky, the upcoming war drama thriller movie directed by Gavin Hood and starring Helen Mirren, Aaron Paul, Alan Rickman, Barkhad Abdi, Jeremy Northam, Iain Glen, and Phoebe Fox:

EYE IN THE SKYPlot synopsis:
“The film stars Helen Mirren as Colonel Katherine Powell, a UK-based military officer in command of a top secret drone operation to capture terrorists in Kenya. Through remote surveillance and on-the-ground intel, Powell discovers the targets are planning a suicide bombing and the mission escalates from ‘capture’ to ‘kill’. But as American pilot Steve Watts (Aaron Paul) is about to engage, a nine-year old girl enters the kill zone, triggering an international dispute reaching the highest levels of US and British government over the moral, political, and personal implications of modern warfare.”

There’s too much whining about the use of drones by the military. They help to protect the free world from nasty threats for God’s sake! I am not saying there should be no scrutiny, but I wish the press would stop whining about it.

The release date of Eye in the Sky is set to March 11, 2016.
:)

Music video gurus DANIELS, a.k.a. Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan, craft a wholly original debut feature bursting with limitless creativity both in content and form. Their consistently surprising script spans a wide range of emotions: from the ridiculously absurd to a touching exploration of what it means to be human. Not to mention, it’s a musical.

We’ve got our hands on the first official pictures of The Birth of a Nation, the upcoming drama movie written and directed by Nate Parker and starring Nate Parker, Armie Hammer, Aja Naomi King, Jackie Earle Haley, and Gabrielle Union:

(Click on a picture to enlarge.)

Plot synopsis:
“Set in the 19th-century Southern United States before the Civil War, this story follows Nat Turner (Nate Parker), a literate slave and preacher, whose financially strained owner, Samuel Turner, accepts an offer to use Nat’s preaching to subdue unruly slaves. After witnessing countless atrocities against fellow slaves, Nat devises a plan to lead his people to freedom.”

Feeling like you heard that movie title before? Well, this new movie shares the same title as some racist movie released in 1915, it fell into public domain and is available on youtube:

The Birth of a Nation (1915 film by D.W Griffith)

Don’t worry Nat Parker’s movie isn’t a remake of that old racist film. Nate Parker’s The Birth of a Nation is on the good side of the force and will redeem the title it shares with Griffith’s movie!

The film has yet to get an official release date.
:)

Update – listen to Director Nate Parker in those videos:
