Producer Luc Besson and Director Pierre Morel, who previously worked together on Taken, team up again on a new action movie From Paris With Love, which is based on a script co-written by Besson. The film is starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I’d like to give a green card to Besson and Morel right away: they make movies the American way! And they hire great talents from Hollywood for their movies.

The movie From Paris With Love should be released in 2009.

Here below a first look at the official movie trailer of ‘From Paris With Love’:

From Paris With Love Movie Trailer

FROM PARIS WITH LOVE

Plot:
“A young embassy employee (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) hooks up with an American spy (John Travolta) in Paris. The spy is insane but damn effective!”

At first sight the plot of From Paris With Love may not stand out from the crowd for its originality, even if the plot takes place in Paris, France. Still, I believe that Besson and Morel will deliver a great action movie.

I hope John Travolta will stay bald: he looks great! Not sure about that, but maybe, they get inspired by French goalkeeper Fabien Barthez’ hairstyle:

Or maybe John Travolta was envious of Tom Cruise’s baldness in Tropic Thunder:

If you’re bald yourself you have a moral duty to support From Paris With Love! I will!

Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov are co-producing the movie 9, an upcoming CGI animated science-fiction movie created and directed by Shane Acker. 9 is animated by Attitude Studio (in Luxembourg) and by Starz Animation (in Toronto), with a few sequences done by Duncan Studios in LA and will be released by Focus Features. The film should be released on September 9, 2009, yeap that’s 9.9.9!

The lead voice actors are Elijah Wood, Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly and Crispin Glover.

Here below the first official 9 movie trailer:

9 Movie Official Trailer

Plot:
“When 9 (Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.”

Those doll-like creatures evolving in a post-apocalyptic background look really strange and appealing. I’d say that 9 is a Coraline movie for grown ups.

If you’re wondering about the explosive soundtrack of this 9 trailer it’s the song ‘Welcome Home’ by Coheed and Cambria.

Notorious is an upcoming biopic of rapper Christopher Wallace a.k.a. The Notorious BIG. It is starring Jamal Woolard in the lead role:

Notorious movie – Record that:
Biggie Smalls (Jamal Woolard) shows off his impressive freestyle skills.
It’s amazing how vinyl discs are still trendy even if they’re the product of an outdated technology!

The Code (also title Thick as Thieves) is an upcoming heist movie directed by Mimi Leder and starring Morgan Freeman, Antonio Banderas and Radha Mitchell. I prefer the former movie tittle: Thick as thieves sounds much more funny than The Code! But I suppose that some cold-feet marketing executive vetoed the title and change it to The Code… More mainstream maybe, but so trivial… Besides, curiously, there is no release date yet for the USA, and it looks like that Taiwan (in January) and Spain (in February) will have the premiere of The Code….

Here below the first movie trailer of the Code (an international Code trailer from Taiwan actually):

The Code Trailer with Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas

THE CODE

The Bait, The Bounty, The Catch

Plot:
“A veteran thief recruits a younger crook to help him pull off one final job in order to repay his debt to the Russian mob. Mitchell plays a temptress whose romantic liaison with a thief (Banderas) threatens to come between him and his partner in crime, her godfather (Freeman).”

The plot of movie of The Code does not seem to bring anything new but Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas make a good duo. Also, Radha Mitchell looks so sexy when she dances! So shall give The Code a try!

A preview clip of the indie film Wendy and Lucy is available:

Wendy and Lucy Movie

The movie Wendy and Lucy is about a woman whose life is derailed en route to a potentially lucrative summer job when her car breaks down…

It’s a heartbreaking movie that somehow mirrors what’s happening to many through America because of the the current recession…

Wendy and Lucy is an independent movie but it has a country-wide release, to know the nearest theater in which you may watch Wendy and Lucy, just head to the official site at:

Director Bryan Singer enrolled Tom Cruise as Colonel Stauffenberg in the movie Valkyrie. Here a few movie clips of Valkyrie:

Valkyrie Preview Clips

Valkyrie – We have to kill HitlerPlot synopsis:
“In Nazi Germany during World War II, as the tide turned in favor of The Allies, a cadre of senior German officers and politicians desperately plot to topple the Nazi regime before the nation is crushed in a near-inevitable defeat. To this end, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, an Army officer convinced he must save Germany from Hitler, is recruited to mastermind a real plan. To do so, he arranges for the internal emergency measure, Operation: Valkyrie, to be changed to enable his fellows to seize control of Berlin after the assassination of the Fuhrer. However, even as the plan is put into action, a combination of bad luck and human failings conspire on their own to create a tragedy that would prolong the greater one gripping Europe.”

Colonel Stauffenberg was a real hero, so sad his attempt at assassinating the evil Hitler failed…
:(

The movie isn’t exactly titled New Ulm, it’s actually New in Town… But even if filming was done in Canada, the story does take place in New Ulm, Minnesota. So let’s rather call it the New Ulm movie.

Take a look to this New in Town clip, er, I mean New Ulm movie clip:

Are you such a silly girl? You can’t pee outside?

The story of New in Town is about a corporate dominatrix who get tamed when she moves from Miami to the country town of New Ulm… Well, the scene above is cute, isn’t it?

By the way, this innocent movie could unwillingly spark a controversy: –> ill-chosen words in the movie New Town

Will the production company change the scene? Or will they ignore the event?

The first official teaser trailer of Night at the Museum 2, aka Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian, has been released:

Night at the Museum 2 Trailer

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2

In the world’s biggest museum something huge is about to go down!

When everything comes to life there’s one man for the job:

Ben Stiller

Ben Stiller seems to really enjoy his role in Nthe Night at the Museum movies series. Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian looks like a fun movie, and I’m glad that the Smithsonian is getting a moment of glory in our theaters. The Smithsonian is probably my favorite museum.

I also hope that the movie Night at the Museum 2, aka Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian, will spur again interest in History among our youth.

In the season 5 of Lost Jack and Ben have managed to put aside their reciprocal hostility in order to get back to the island. Here below a new clip of Lost Season 5:

Gathering all of the Oceanic Six to go back to the Isaland won’t be that easy! Lost Season 5 will drive you even more crazy than the previous seasons!

UP, The next Pixar movie is about an old grumpy widow and a young boy: the two are unwillingly brought to a world of adventures when the little house in the picture above is lift in the air by balloons:

Up Preview Clip

Please let me in!
I wonder if Pixar was inspired by Japanese Director Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky…): it is quite different from the previous movies done by Pixar!
:)

A preview clip of Nothing But The Truth has been released. The scene features Kate Beckinsale and David Schwimmer:

Nothing But The Truth

I should put you in touch with my tailor….

I quite agree that David Schwimmer is not the most fashionable actor… But the guy isn’t that much handsome either, so anyway, can’t put the blame on him for this.

To tell nothing but the truth I’m not fashionable either with my wig! Joking, i don’t have use of a wig: I’m proud to be utterly bald!
;-P

If you are a fan of the Saw movie series then rest assured that the tradition will be respected on Halloween 2009: Saw VI will give you a bloody day. Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) will still be there to tease the livings and Mark Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) will be back too.

But his time, the director isn’t David Hackl. The job is taken over by Kevin Greutert who was the former movie editor on all of the Saw movies: so he isn’t a newbie, and knows damn well the universe of Saw. So Saw 6 is in good hands.

More about Saw VI at: Saw 6 Trailer

No detail about the plot has filtered yet but as long as they keep going with the famous traps, it should be fine! But maybe you have a recommendation for new Director Kevin Greutert about Saw VI?

Update: Here’s a first official preview clip of Saw VI!

Beyonce Knowles and Ali Larter (from Heroes) are two beautiful women: any man would be happy to get intimate with one, so imagine if both were competing like they do for Idris Elba in the upcoming thriller drama movie Obsessed.

Take a look to this Obsessed movie trailer:

Obsessed Trailer

OBSESSED

An office flirtation, an innocent temptation: two different perceptions…

What you hide makes you innocent, what you reveal makes you guilty.
And the truth lies somewhere in between.

This Spring,

Where fact becomes fantasy, where reality ends: obsession begins

Plot:
“Derek Charles (Idris Elba), a successful asset manager who has just received a huge promotion, is blissfully happy in his career and in his marriage to the beautiful Sharon (Beyoncé Knowles). But when Lisa (Ali Larter), a temp worker, starts stalking Derek, all the things he’s worked so hard for are placed in jeopardy.”

Judging from this trailer of Obsessed the movie seems to end in a marvelous girl fight! Hey, I am but a weak man, so I will definitely go watch Beyonce and Ali larter in the movie Obsessed!
:)

The trailer of Wolverine, aka X-men origins: Wolverine, is now officially available:

For valentine’s day some people give chocolates or flowers, but there is a freak out there who prefers to impersonate the Grim Reaper and offer death instead…

My Scary Bloody valentine 3D is a well done remake!
