Comments Off on That’s Awesome! Panic Attack Short Film
Uruguayan filmmaker Fede Alvarez worked on Panic Attack, a sci-fi short film that revolves around the invasion of Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, by giant robots. He released his short film on youtube two weeks ago, and it’s going viral since:
PANIC ATTACK!
It is said that the short film PAnic attack was made on a shoestring budget of only $300! That’s a damn ridiculous amount for such an impressive result! New technologies are really empowering independent filmmakers! Continue reading »
The first official movie trailer of Beastly, the upcoming fantasy drama movie starring Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, and Mary-Kate Olsen, has been released:
BEASTLY
Plot:
“When a spell is cast on a handsome egocentric young man (Alex Pettyfer) that physically transforms him into everything he despises, he has one year to find a young woman (Vanessa Hudgens) who will love him despite his hideous form or the spell will last forever.”
The movie is based on Alex Flinn’s book of the same name. Some are touting this film as a potential competitor to Twilight, but it’s unlikely to perform as well… Still the movie Beastly may interest, if not convert, a significant part of the Twilight fans.

Two clips of Brothers, the upcoming drama movie directed by Jim Sheridan and starring Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Tobey Maguire, are now available:
Brothers – I’m no hero.
That’s exactly how Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man) would react if he’d have lost his powers!
Entertainment Tonight had the chance to visit the set of Knight and Day, the upcoming comedy movie directed by James Mangold and starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz:
KNIGHT AND DAY Set Visit
Plot:
“A woman (Cameron Diaz) who has terrible luck with men finds her path intertwined with that of a mysterious handsome man (Tom Cruise) she meets on a blind date.”
I suppose ET visited the set of Knight and Day when the crew was still in the USA. But they have since moved to Sevilla in Spain. Here’s a clip of Knight and Day, it was taken by a passer-by on his phone cam:
Looks like Tom Cruise is hell bent on doing all the stunts of Knight and Day himself.

In this new Avatar featurette, Actor Stephen Lang, who plays the role of Colonel Miles Quaritch the chief of security on Pandora, talks about his character’s mission and the themes and dynamics of the storyline, besides there is a lot of new footage of Avatar:
Letters to Juliet is an upcoming romantic drama movie directed by Gary Winick and based on the book written by based on the novel written by Lise and Ceil Friedman. The film is starring Amanda Seyfried (who plays in Mamma Mia! and Jennifer’s Body), Gael Garcia Bernal, Vanessa Redgrave, and Christopher Egan. It will be released on May 7, 2010.
Here below the movie trailer of Letters to Juliet:
LETTERS TO JULIET
The greatest love story ever told is your own
Plot:
“An American girl on vacation in Italy finds an unanswered ‘letter to Juliet’ — one of thousands of missives left at the fictional lover’s Verona courtyard, which are typically answered by a the ‘secretaries of Juliet’ — and she goes on a quest to find the lovers referenced in the letter.”
The plot of Letters to Juliet is kind of generic. But maybe the goal is not to tell an edifying story, I actually suspect the movie Letters to Juliet to be a shameless promotion for the beautiful landscapes of Italy where the film takes place. Because now I want to book a flight ticket to go there!

A new creepy trailer of Season of the Witch has shown up online. Season of the Witch is a fantasy horror movie set in the Middle Age, it’s directed by Dominic Sena and starring Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman, and Claire Foy:
There is a force ruled by darkness,
dedicated to death and destruction.
To save Mankind these warriors must pass through Hell
With Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman
Plot:
“The journey of a 14th century knight transporting a girl suspected of being the witch responsible for spreading the Black Plague.”
I was already hooked by the story of Season of the Witch. And now after watching this new trailer of Season of the Witch, I’m definitely impatient to watch the movie: Hollywood should bring more of those fantasy movies set in the Middle Age!
Anyway, the movie Season of the Witch will hit theaters on March 19, 2010.

There is a new featurette for Avatar, the latest movie directed by James Cameron. This new Avatar featurette is focusing on the technologies seen in the movie:
A new preview clip of Up in the Air is available. The scene features Anna Kendrick and George Clooney:
UP IN THE AIR – What kind of relationship do you have?
Dr. Manhattan, the quantum-mechanical superhero from the Watchmen who thinks that life is an overrated phenomenon, is still sensitive to love. So I bet that even the corporate hawk played by George Clooney still has a little weakness that he doesn’t want to admit.

Remember Me is an upcoming romantic drama movie starring Actor Robert Pattinson (Edward from the Twilight saga) in the lead role. The story revolves around two lovers whose newfound relationship is threatened as they try to cope with their respective family tragedies. The film is directed by Allen Coulter and along Robert Pattinson it is also starring Emilie de Ravin, Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper and Lena Olin. The movie Remember Me is set for a release on March 2010.
Here below the first official movie trailer of Remember Me:
REMEMBER ME
Plot:
“Robert Pattinson plays Tyler, a rebellious young man in New York City who has a strained relationship with his father (Pierce Brosnan) ever since tragedy separated their family. Tyler didn’t think anyone could possibly understand what he was going through until the day he met Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate. Love was the last thing on his mind, but as her spirit unexpectedly heals and inspires him, he begins to fall for her. Through their love, he begins to find happiness and meaning in his life. But soon, hidden secrets are revealed, and the circumstances that brought them together slowly threaten to tear them apart. Remember Me is an unforgettable story about the power of love, the strength of family, and the importance of living passionately and treasuring every day of one’s life.”
Movies about “rebellious” young people are usually boring unless there is something like vampirism added to the mix… But the movie Remember Me can boast an impressive cast with Robert Pattinson, Pierce Brosnan and Emilie de Ravin. And because I do appreciate those actors I am kind of impatient to watch Remember Me.

20th Century Fox has released a new movie trailer of Percy Jackson:
PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF
Plot:
“A young man discovers that he is descended from a Greek god and embarks, with the aid of a satyr and the daughter of Athena, on a dangerous adventure amidst a war between the Gods.”
There is some real wisdom in the movie Percy Jackson: a simple pen can indeed become one of the mightiest weapon! Just depends on who’s holding it and how!
