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

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 – 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…

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.

Let’s listen to a variety of experts who talk about how the world might just end in 2012:

2012 Trailer

I saw Roland Emmerich’s 2012, and it’s definitely an amazing movie!

2012
What was shown in the different clips of 2012 is nothing compared to the whole thing on a giant screen! And you really care for the familly who’s trying to fly away from the imminent disaster: 2012 is a gorgeous movie both for its plot and its special effects! 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:

LEAP YEAR
Plot:
“A woman (Rachel Adams) who has an elaborate scheme to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day, an Irish tradition which occurs every time the date February 29 rolls around, faces a major setback when bad weather threatens to derail her planned trip to Dublin. With the help of an innkeeper, however, her cross-country odyssey just might result in her getting engaged.”

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
