Pandorum Movie Trailer

PANDORUM

500 millions miles from Earth
60 000 passengers have vanished

Fear the unknown
Fear the unimaginable

Fear what happens next!

Plot:
“Two crew members wake up on an abandoned spacecraft with no idea who they are, how long they’ve been asleep, or what their mission is. The two soon discover they’re actually not alone — and the reality of their situation is more horrifying than they could have imagined.”
A dark spaceship lobby is always an interesting background on which to show poor humans striving to stay alive!

The movie Pandorum will hit theaters on September 4, 2009.

We just stumbled upon the trailer of Mr. Nobody via Quiet Earth (here). Mr. Nobody is a sci fi movie written and directed by Belgian Director Jaco Van Dormael and starring Jared Leto in the lead role. There is no denying that this trailer caught my attention: there is a feel of Donnie Darko or of the Butterfly Effect with something more that makes the movie even more strangely appealing.

Watch below the movie trailer of Mr. Nobody:

Mr Nobody Trailer

MR. NOBODY

Plot:
“Nemo Nobody leads an ordinary existence at his wife’s side, Elise, and their 3 children until the day when reality skids and he wakes up as an old man in the year 2092. At 120, Mr. Nobody is both the oldest man in the world and the last mortal of a new mankind where nobody dies anymore. But that doesn’t seem to interest or bother him very much. The only questions that preoccupy him in the present is whether he lived the right life for himself, loved the woman whom he was supposed to love, and had the children whom he was meant to have… now his purpose is to find the right answer.”

The best science fiction stories always have an excuse to digg into human emotions and to show what may people tick, that’s what make them so great. And I believe that Mr Nobody is one of those great sci-fi movies!

The movie will be released on October 9, 2009 in Belgium, but no US release for lack of distributor. Hope that a US distributor will pick it up soon.

A new preview clip of Land of the Lost, upcoming movie starring Will Ferrell and based on the TV show of the same name from the 1970s, has shown up online:

Land of the Lost Trailer

Beware of the Sleestaks!

Plot:
“On his latest expedition, Dr. Rick Marshall (Ferrell) is sucked into a space-time vortex alongside his research assistant (Friel) and a redneck survivalist (McBride). In this alternate universe, the trio make friends with a primate named Chaka (Taccone), their only ally in a world full of dinosaurs and other fantastic creatures. Can they all make it back to our world alive, and if so: Will Dr. Marshall can go from zero to hero with his discoveries?”
One may dislike Will Ferrell’s slapstick humor but should still give a try to Land of the Lost: a movie mixing science-fiction, comedy and adventure can’t be that bad!
;-P

The first preview preview clip of Halloween 2, upcoming horror movie directed by Rob Zombie, has been released:

Halloween 2 Clip

“Michael Myers (Tyler Mane) returns to his home town of Haddonfield, bringing death in his wake, to bring closure to the secrets of his past. An unlikely individual steps up to put an end to Michael.”

The movie Halloween 2 is going to be quite realistic and rather violent.

A new cut of the previous Transformers 2 movie trailer has shown up in front of Night At The Museum 2:

What a pity: they cut the best scene, the one with Megan Fox on a motorbike!

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:

Doctor Parnassus Preview Clip

Can you put a price on your dreams?

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:

Surrogates Movie Trailer

SURROGATES

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:

Last Airbender Movie Trailer

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)

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:

9 Movie Trailer

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:

Sherlock Holmes Movie Trailer

SHERLOCK HOLMES
Now I understand why RDJ was chosen to play as Sherlock Holmes instead of Jude Law: RDJ is perfect for this somewhat clownish version of Sherlock Holmes. I mean easier to laugh with RDJ than with Jude Law… No offense Jude!
Guy Ritchie’s movie isn’t your grandfather’s Sherlock Holmes but I bet that the new generations will love it!
:)

The buzz around The Road, an upcoming post-apocalyptic movie directed by John Hillcoat: the first trailer of The Road is now available!

The Road Movie Trailer

THE ROAD

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.
