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…

A new trailer of The Lovely Bones, the upcoming drama movie directed by Peter Jackson and based on Alice Sebold’s book of the same name, has shown up online. It’s a shorter cut of the Lovely Bones trailer previously released:

THE LOVELY BONES
Plot:
“The story centers on a young girl who is murdered but continues to observe her family on Earth after her death. She witnesses the impact of her demise on her loved ones, while her killer skillfully covers his tracks and prepares to murder again.”

The Lovely Bones movie is going to make me cry: it’s a really sad story magnified by Saoirse Ronan’s performance! She’s is a great actress, young but with a real talent!

According to Milla Jovovich who plays the role of zombie slayer Alice in the Resident Evil movie series, the movie trailer of Resident Evil 4 will be released in January 2010:

Resident Evil 4 Trailer

RESIDENT EVIL 4 AFTERLIFE

“We started filming on sept. 25 and we wrap around the middle of dec. There will b a teaser trailer in theaters in jan. Is what I just heard.”

Milla Jovovich (via Twitter)

Plot:
“In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, ALICE (Milla Jovovich), continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend. A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead leads them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is overrun by thousands of Undead and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap.”

I hope Milla Jovovich is right and that we will have a Resident Evil 4 trailer in January 2010: the sooner the better!

The movie Resident Evil 4, aka Resident Evil Afterlife, will be released on August 27, 2010.

May God bless Roland Emmerich for his vision. And let’s hope that God will save us all from the final Apocalypse depicted in 2012!

You may watch below two new action-packed clips of Ninja Assassin, the upcoming ninja movie directed by James McTeigue:

I know Ninjas have shurikens, but now I can but think that a gun and a few bullets would make the job easier…

The movie Leap Year is an upcoming romantic comedy directed by Anand Tucker and starring Amy Adams, Matthew Goode, Adam Scott and John Lithgow. Here’s the movie trailer of Leap Year:

The movie Leap Year looks like a sweet comedy that one may enjoy to watch but would still swiftly forget because it’s just bland…
;-P

Falling from the rope was not very smart… And even if I feel sorry for him, I can’t keep myself from laughing!

IGN had the chance to talk with Jordan Mechner the creator of Prince of Persia who also wrote the script of the movie:

Prince of Persia Jordan Mechner

I can’t imagine how happy Jordan Mechner must be! It all started with a small platform game in the 1980’s:

and it’s now adapted into a blockbuster movie: what a success story!

Steve Carell and Tina Fey are teaming up in Date Night, an upcoming comedy movie directed by Shawn Levy. Here’s the official movie trailer of Date Night:

DATE NIGHT

These are the Fosters, this is their life…
And this is the night they’ll never forget!

One night can change your life!

Plot:
“Claire and Phil Foster are a suburban couple slogging through their daily lives and marriage. Even their ‘date nights’ of dinner and a movie have become routine. To reignite the marital spark, they visit a trendy Manhattan bistro, where a case of mistaken identity hurtles them through the city at breakneck speeds, into non-stop adventure. Remembering what made them so special together, Phil and Claire take on a couple of corrupt cops, a top-level mobster and a crazed cabbie as their date becomes a night they’ll never forget.”

The movie Date Night looks a funny and thrilling adventure through New York by night! Besides Tina Fey looks sweet: Steve Carell always manages to star in movies with beautiful actresses!
:)

The movie trailer of Extraordinary Measures, an upcoming drama movie starring Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser, has been released:

EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES

Inspired by a true story

They had everything to lose, so they risked it all.

Don’t hope for a miracle: make one!

Plot:
“John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley’s two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. Crowley who does not want to give up decides then to team up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford). Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system – and time.
The fate of John’s children is at stake.”

I’d say that Extraordinary Measures is like the movie Taken: it’s about a father who’s ready to anything to save his children, just that the enemy here is a nasty genetic disorder. I think Extraordinary Measures will be a quite interesting movie. And if lucky, it will make more people aware that we need to fund research to fight against those genetic disorders!
