I know Astro Boy is not a dark hero, but he is a bit too starry eyed for me… Maybe one should send him t get trained with the Cylon Calvin from Battlestar Galactica.

Directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, who brought us the Crank movie series, have been working on Gamer, a new science fiction action thriller movie. The movie Gamer totally redefines what game immersion means: in the future virtual and reality are intricately mixed! Besides Gerard Butler in the lead role, the film is starring Logan Lerman, Milo Ventimiglia, Aaron Yoo, Ludacris, Alison Lohman and John Leguizamo.
Here below a bootleg version of the first movie trailer of Gamer that leaked online:
Plot:
“Set in the near-future, mind-control technology has taken society by storm and a multiplayer on-line game called ‘Slayers’ allows humans control other humans in mass-scale. Simon controls Kable (Gerard Butler) the on-line champion of the game, and with his every move tracked by millions, his ultimate challenge becomes regaining his identity and independence by defeating the game’s mastermind (Hall) through launching an attack on the system that has imprisoned him.”
The plot of this movie isn’t so farfetched. And actually it’s nothing new. Army commanders used to place tin soldiers (or just pictorial representations) on battlefield maps: the real soldiers are bound to their tin figures by the constraint of hierarchy. In the movie Gamer, the new constraint is “just” an appalling technological gizmo.

Director Lasse Hallstrom is bringing us Hachiko A Dog Story, an upcoming drama family movie based on the true story of a Japanese professor and his dog: it’s the tale of a dog’s life-long devotion to his owner. The film is starring Richard Gere in the lead role. It is scheduled to be released on August 8, 2009 in Japan (under the working title Hachi), so Hachiko A Dog’s Story should be released by the end of 2009 or early 2010 in the USA.
Plot:
“A college professor (Richard Gere) takes in an abandoned dog, Hachi, and they form an unbreakable bond. After the professor dies while away from home, the dog keeps vigil waiting for his master for nearly a decade.”
The story of Hachiko is well known in Japan: the dog even has his own statue in front of the Shibuya train station! So Richard Gere’s Hashiko is much awaited over there.
If you’re wondering about the dog race, er, I mean the dog breed, it’s an akita.
Such a cute and such a sad Story: I’m gonna cry shamelessly!

Some kids who helped for some charity have been repaid for their kindness by a visit to the movie set of Harry Potter 7, aka Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. They were able to meet Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (as Hermione Granger) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)!
SGU, Stargate Universe, is the latest addition to the Stargate franchise: the new show will start to air on SyFy this summer. A SGU trailer was shown after the final episode of Battlestar Galactica last Friday:
“Stargate Universe aims to delight veteran fans, but also appeal to newcomers who may not necessarily know the difference between an Alteran and an Asuran. In many ways it is a much more cerebral and mature addition to the franchise. While firmly entrenched in pre-established Stargate mythology, Stargate Universe definitely strikes out in an exciting new direction.”
Stargate Atlantis producer Joseph Mallozzi
I expect Stargate Universe to be a mix of Farscape and BSG set in the realm of Stargate. Could be something explosive, hope they won’t disappoint us!

A new theatrical trailer of the Year One, upcoming comedy starring Jack Black and Michael Cera, has been released:

Jack Black and Michel Cera
For the very first road trip!
Plot:
“When a couple of lazy hunter-gatherers (Jack Black and Michael Cera) are banished from their primitive village, they set off on an epic journey through the ancient world.” (source IMDb)
I would not dare to knock on my wife’s head like this dude did on the girl’s head at the beginning of this Year One movie trailer!
Director Harold Ramis’ Year One will hit theaters on June 19, 2009.

Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) are still at odds over a few issues after five years. Even Toretto’s sister bears a grudge against O’Conner. Just watch this new movie clip of Fast and Furious:

U-Turn If Possible
Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) won’t let running out of road stop him from chasing Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel).

A preview clip of the Hurt Locker, upcoming war movie directed by Kathryn Bigelow, has been released. You may watch it here below:
Plot:
“When a new sergeant, James (Renner), takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn (Mackie) and Eldridge (Geraghty) by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James’ true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever.”
Had I opened this car trunk I would had have a sudden death out of fear! Yep heart attack for sure: those bombs all linked together are damned scary! May God bless the brave soldiers of freedom and protect the poor souls like me!

prepare to get served!
In mouth watering 3D
Fall 2009

Voice Cast:
– Anna Faris as Sam
– Bill Hader as Flint Lockwood
– Bruce Campbell
– James Caan
– Tracy Morgan as Cal

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs looks like a really refreshing movie that both entertains and tries to make us think about real issues or world is facing, like hunger.
On a side note I’m glad to see a scientist as the hero of a movie. Let’s hope that many kids will get inspired and will become scientist too later on: our country is definitely in need of brilliant scientists!

Ben Affleck and Russell Crowe are starring in State of Play, an upcoming dramatic crime thriller movie directed by Kevin Macdonald. The story revolves around a journalist (Russel Crowe) who unveils a conspiracy while investigating the murder of the mistress of a congressman (Ben Affleck). Here below a new international trailer of State of Play:
STATE of PLAY
Behind the story the truth lies
But the conspiracy goes higher.
This new State of Play trailer gives a more appealing overview of the movie. I especially like the scene showing both Crowe and Affleck: they are like an old dude and a young wolf.
State of Play hits theaters on on April 17, 2009.
