The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is the last film appearance of the late Heath Ledger, Oscar winner for The Dark Knight. Moviegoer Iszaham pointed us to this footage shown at the occasion of the Cannes Film festival:
Plot of the movie:
“In the present day, immortal 1,000-year-old Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) leads a travelling theatre troupe that offers audience members a chance to go beyond reality through a magical mirror in his possession. Members of the troupe include a sleight of hand expert, Anton (Andrew Garfield), and a dwarf, Percy (Verne Troyer), Parnassus had been able to guide the imagination of others through a deal with the Devil (Waits), who now comes to collect on the arrangement, targeting the doctor’s daughter (Lily Cole). The troupe, which is joined by a mysterious outsider named Tony (portrayed by Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell), embark through parallel worlds to rescue the girl.”
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is directed by Terry Gilliam.

Do you remember the old TV series V that aired on NBC? It was a science fiction series about an alien invasion of Earth by a carnivorous race of reptilians (wearing a human skin too fool Mankind) known as “The Visitors”. I was quite found of the show, still remember the visitors eatings mouses and insects for breakfast!
Well we will be able to enjoy a brand new remake of the series on ABC!
Here below the trailer of V:
I like the new take on V: if I have to make a bold statement, I would even say that when there is a kind of Battlestar Galactica vibe in this new V series!
V is slated to debut in early 2010.
If you didn’t know the original V series or just feel some nostalgia, take a look to the original intro of V: Continue reading »

Director Jonathan Mostow who once brought us Terminator 3 must have a thing for robots: Surrogates, his latest movie starring Bruce Willis and Radha Mitchell, is set in a world in which people use remote controlled bodies instead of working out their own flesh and blood bodies.
Watch bellow the first official Surrogates trailer:
Based on the graphic novel.
How do you save humanity when the only thing that’s real is you?
Plot:
“In the near future, humans live in isolation and only interact through remote-controlled artificial bodies that serve as surrogates. When several surrogates are murdered, a cop (Bruce Willis) investigates the crimes through his own surrogate. The investigation forces the cop to bring his human form out of isolation and unravel a conspiracy behind the crimes.”
Can’t say that they parsimoniously used footage from the film to make this Surrogates trailer: feel like I saw the movie already… Can still be surprised though by the general feel of the film. Besides I believe in Bruce Willis’ ability to catch our attention.
Here’s the release date of Surrogates: September 25, 2009

There was some stupid controversy about the cast selected by M. Night Shyamalan for the Last Airbender, the upcoming movie adaptation of the animated series Avatar aired by Nickelodeon. But this first look at Noah Ringer as Aang, aka the Avatar, will conquer the hearts of even the most die-hard fans:
Just compare with the original Aang from the anime:
It seems that Shyamalan’s Airbender is shaping as a quite faithful adaptation. Will have more confimation with the movie trailer of the Last Airbender which will be shown in front of Transformers 2.

Timur Bekmambetov and Tim Burton gave their support to a feature film from a short film Director Shane Acker previously worked on. The final result, 9 is going to be both amazingly strange and explosively epic!
Just watch this new trailer of 9:
In the final days of humanity,
a scientist gave his nine creations the spark of life!
After our world ended, their mission began
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 9!
Plot:
“9 takes place in a world parallel to our own, in which the very legacy of humanity is threatened. A group of sapient rag dolls, living a post-apocalyptic existence find one of their own, 9 (Elijah Wood), who displays leadership qualities that may help them to survive.” (Source: IMDb)
Those little straw are puny, but they men got a mission to fulfill : they will smash the mechanical enemy!

Director Guy Ritchie is bringing a brand new version of Sherlock Holmes with his latest movie. The film is starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law respectively as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
Here below the first official Sherlock Holmes trailer:
The buzz around The Road, an upcoming post-apocalyptic movie directed by John Hillcoat: the first trailer of The Road is now available!
10 years from now one event will change the face of the planet…
Wake, Search, Move, Hide
From Cormac McCarthy
Author of
“No country for old men”
At the end of Civilization, an epic journey is about to begin
This Fall
Run, Protect, Sacrifice, Kill
Plot:
“A father (Viggo Mortensen) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food–and each other.”
Cast:
– Viggo Mortensen as the Man.
– Kodi Smit-McPhee as the Boy.
– Charlize Theron as the Wife (she appears in flashback).
– Michael K. Williams as a thief.
– Robert Duvall as an old, dying man.
– and Guy Pearce as a father wandering with his family.
The bleak future described in The Road is quite scary. And it does not need monsters or aliens to scare: just need humans turned savages…
The movie The Road will hit theaters on October 16th, 2009.

A movie adaptation of Prince of Persia The Sands of Time is under development. Here below some footage from the Prince of Persia movie:
Prince of Persia Movie Trailer
Plot / Synopsis:
“Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a 6th century prince of Persia who teams up with Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) to rescue the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that controls time, from the hands of the villainous nobleman, Nizam (Ben Kingsley).”
Cast:
– Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, a sixth-century Persian prince. The character is nameless in the games; Jordan Mechner said he chose the name because it is the Persian word for “trickster”. Gyllenhaal estimated he gained five pounds of muscle for the role.
– Gemma Arterton as Tamina, a feisty and exotic princess. Arterton practiced horse riding in Madrid and did further training in London.
– Ben Kingsley as Nizam, King Shahrman’s brother who plans to kill the ruler and blame the murder on Prince Dastan.
– Alfred Molina as Sheik Amar, a mentor to Prince Dastan.
– Toby Kebbell as Dastan’s brother, head of the Persian army.
I was playing to Jordan Mechner’s Prince of Persia at the very beginning, when it was but a 2D platform game. But I didn’t follow with the following 3D versions. But I’m glad to see The Prince of Persia adapted into a live action movie.

We may have a look to Surrogates, an upcoming sci-fi movie directed by Jonathan Mostow and starring Bruce Willis, thanks to this featurette that found its way online:
Synopsis / Plot:
“In the near future, humans live in isolation and only interact through remote-controlled artificial bodies that serve as surrogates. When several surrogates are murdered, a cop (Bruce Willis) investigates the crimes through his own surrogate. The investigation forces the cop to bring his human form out of isolation and unravel a conspiracy behind the crimes.”
Cast:
– Bruce Willis as Agent Greer, a cop who investigates the murder of others’ surrogates
– Radha Mitchell as Agent Peters, the cop’s partner
– Rosamund Pike as Maggie Greer, the cop’s wife
– Ving Rhames as The Prophet, a cult figure who disdains surrogates and plans an uprising

I think this movie will somewhat have the feel of Minority Report… Well not brand new, but I can but welcome a sci-fi movie, even more if it is starring Bruce Willis in the lead role!
The movie Surrogates will hit theaters on September 25, 2009.

Thanks to the Disney Channel we may enjoy the movie trailer of The Princess and The Frog, the latest hand-drawn animated movie by Walt Disney Pictures, earlier than expected:
The Princess and The Frog Trailer
After 75 years of Magic
Walt Disney Pictures brings a classic tale to life!
Plot:
“A fairy tale centered on a young girl named Princess Tiana who lives in New Orleans’ French Quarter during the Jazz Age”
What a lovely a twist to this classic tale: the princess transforms into a frog after kissing the batracian!
But I still can’t say that I’m conquered by this animated movie… Maybe entertaining for my kids, bu not even sure about that… Well I suppose it’s one those movies that parents will force upon their children out of nostalgia… I don’t think this film deserves more a direct to dvd release…
:-)
In Terminator 4 Anton Yelchin is playing the role of Kyle Reese in Terminator 4. Kyle Reese is the resistant who will be sent to the past to protect John Connor’s mother (and is actually Connor’s father…). Skynet may want to kill him, but John Connor won’t let it happen:
What a weird situation for John Connor: having to protect a boy who is his father in the future, er, I mean in the past… er… confused!
;-P
