Here’s a new featurette of the Blind Side:

Plot:
“Michael Oher, a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home, is taken in by the Touhys, a well-to-do white family who help him fulfill his potential. At the same time, Oher’s presence in the Touhys’ lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of their own. Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges to overcome. As a football player and student, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and adopted family, becomes an All-American offensive left tackle. In the latest chapter of his inspiring story, Oher was a First Round draft pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, selected by the Baltimore Ravens.”

The Blind Side is a really inspiring movie: the Touhys are great heroes!

The marketing team at Lionsgate found an interesting way to promote the upcoming sci-fi vampire movie Daybreakers: they just release a TV Spot mimicking a public service ad. Here’s this new TV clip of Daybreakers:

Daybreakers TV Spot

DAYBREAKERS
Mankind has been infected with a highly contagious vampire virus, and now most people need blood to survive. The remaining humans are captured and herded in blood farms: demand needs to be supplied after all!

You may watch below the latest trailer of Alvin and The Chipmunks The Squeakquel, aka Alvin and the Chipmunks 2:

Alvin and The Chipmunks The Squeakquel
Every time I hear those talking squirrels I want to call the nearest pest control service! Unfortunately my wife convinced the kids that they are real fans, so I won’t be able to avoid Alvin and the Chipmunks 2.

The Last Song is an upcoming coming of age drama movie directed by Julie Anne Robinson and starring Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth, Greg Kinnear and Kelly Preston. The film is set to be released on April 2, 2010. Here’s the first official movie trailer of the Last Song:

THE LAST SONG
Plot:
“The Last Song is set in a small Southern beach town where an estranged father (Greg Kinnear) gets a chance to spend the summer with his reluctant teenage daughter (Miley Cryus), who’d rather be home in New York. He tries to reconnect with her through the only thing they have in common—music—in a story of family, friendship, secrets and salvation, along with first loves and second chances.”

It’s hard to really get really interested in this movie: Miley Cyrus doesn’t really fit into this small role, her acting is just bland… Had they hired some unknown actress instead of her, The Last Song would have been a much better movie. Or thinking, maybe Kristen Stewart would have been a better choice… Anyway Miley Cyrus has so many young diehard followers that the movie will find a large public anyway.
;-P

A new featurette has been release for Avatar, the upcoming epic sci-fi movie directed by James Cameron:

Avatar Trailer

AVATAR featurette
If you go watch James Cameron’s Avatar, you definitely have to watch it in an IMAX theater and in 3D! The movie Avatar is just going to be so awesome in 3D!
:)

Here’s a last movie clip of Planet 51, the upcoming sci-fi animated film:

Planet 51 Trailer

Planet 51 – Take over minds
This little green alien is so Machiavellian: he’s definitely not afraid to lie to get more power over his fellows!
:)

You may watch below the new movie trailer of Bitch Slap, an hilarious action movie directed by Rick Jacobson and starring Julia Voth, Erin Cummings, and America Olivo:

BITCH SLAP
Plot:
“At its core, ‘Bitch Slap’ follows three bad girls (a down-and-out stripper, a drug-running killer and a corporate powerbroker) as they arrive at a remote desert hideaway to extort massive booty from a ruthless underworld kingpin. Things quickly spin out of control as allegiances change, truths are revealed, other criminals arrive for the score, the fate of the world hangs in the balance and they are forced to confront a villain much worse than they ever expected… themselves. It’s the ultimate morality tale as, one by one, they realize the whole “she-bang” was a set-up and one of the film’s characters may not even be human…”

The whole trailer of Bitch Slap looks like a promo spot for plastic surgery! Anyway, the movie still looks like it’s going to be entertaining if not edifying. The film will have a limited release on January 8, 2010.

We got our hands on a clip of James Cameron’s Avatar. The clip features Jack Sully (Sam Worthington) as he is chased by some huge scary and hungry alien beast:

Avatar Clip

AVATAR – Thanator Chase
Fortunately we don’t have such monsters roaming our streets here on Earth! The Planet Pandora is is maybe beautiful, but it’s actually quite close to hell!
The movie Avatar is definitely going to be epic: a crazy adventure in a world full of danger!
:)

The first official movie trailer of Crazy Heart, an upcoming drama movie starring Jeff Bridges in the lead role as an old country music singer:

CRAZY HEART
Plot:
“Bad Blake (Jeff Bridges) is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who’s had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician.”

Seems like Crazy Heart will be a movie soaked with emotion. I wouldn’t be much interested in this film if it wasn’t for Jeff Bridges. Anyway, the movie Crazy Heart will have a limited release on December 16, 2009.
:)

Leaves of Grass is an upcoming dark comedy written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson and starring Edward Norton in twin roles. Here’s the movie trailer of Leaves of Grass:

Leaves of Grass Trailer

LEAVES OF GRASS
Plot:
“Bill Kincaid, an Ivy League classics professor, returns to rural Oklahoma to bury his dangerously brilliant identical twin brother who had remained in their native state to grow hydroponic pot. Leaves of Grass is a fast-paced comic film that contrasts two distinct approaches to life. Featuring Edward Norton in the role of each twin.”

Director Tim Blake Nelson said about his movie Leaves of Grass:

“”Leaves of Grass is about the unpredictable journey of a guy who learns that you really can’t exert control over your own life.””

Director Tim Blake Nelson

This remark is the opposite of the very tenets of Fight Club, but Edward Norton still manages to deliver a great performance in the movie Leaves of Grass: he must have a dual soul!

The movie Leaves of Grass will be released on December 25, 2009.
:)

A first preview clip of Serious Moonlight, the upcoming comedy starring Meg Ryan, Timothy Hutton, Kristen Bell, and Justin Long, has been released:

SERIOUS MOONLIGHT
Plot:
“A dark comedy about a high-powered attorney who discovers that her husband is leaving her for another younger woman and duct tapes him to the toilet to talk right before their home is invaded by burglars.”

I guess it’s a lucky burglar!
;-P

Here’s the movie trailer of Dante’s Inferno, an upcoming series of animated short films based on the video game of the same name by Electronic Arts:

DANTE’S INFERNO
Dante embarks on a bloody journey in Hell!

The movie Dante’s Inferno will be released on Blu-ray and DVD in February 2010.

A new clip of Bad Lieutenant has been released. Because this clip out of context, it just looks like Nicolas Cage is insane:

Bad Lieutenant – Nicolas Cage vs Old Ladies
But this scene is more than likely to make you laugh if you watch the whole movie. Still, please show more respect to elders than Nicolas Cage does in this clip of Bad Lieutenant!
:)

A series of short clips in which the actors introduce the characters they’re playing in James Cameron’s Avatar have been released. And I start wondering about something: in Avatar it seems most humans are played by white people and there are only black people and Native people playing as aliens (as the Na’vi from the planet Pandora)? Check for yourself:

Update: following this post (?), those official videos have been tagged as private by Fox in their youtube account…
