Samuel L. Jackson is playing Nick Fury in the Avengers movies. But in Turbo, the upcoming animated movie from Dreamworks Animation, he gets to play Whiplash! Well, a snail called Whiplash, not the villain played by Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2… Here’s a character poster featuring Whiplash:

Let’s watch the first official movie trailer of Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, the upcoming drama movie written and directed by David Lowery:

AIN’T THEM BODIES SAINTSPlot:
“Bob Muldoon (Casey Affleck) and Ruth Guthrie (Rooney Mara), an impassioned young outlaw couple on an extended crime spree, are finally apprehended by lawmen after a shootout in the Texas hills. Although Ruth wounds a local officer, Bob takes the blame. But four years later, Bob escapes from prison and sets out to find Ruth and their daughter, born during his incarceration. Set against the backdrop of 1970′ s Texas Hill Country, director David Lowery paints a poetic picture, evoking the mythology of westerns and saturating the dramatic space with an aching sense of loss. Featuring powerful performances by Affleck, Mara as well as Ben Foster and Keith Carradine, AIN’ T THEM BODIES SAINTS is a story of love, motherhood and searching for peace while faced with an unrelenting past.”

Ain’t Them Bodies Saints looks like a solid movie! Definitely a must see!

I just spotted this new poster of The Purge, the upcoming thriller horror movie written and directed by James DeMonaco and starring Ethan Hawke:

(Click on the poster to enlarge.)

THE PURGE

REMINDER: All emergency services will be suspended for a 12-hour period.

Plot:
“In an America wracked by escalating crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity—including murder—becomes legal. The police can’t be called. Hospitals suspend help. It’s one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking.
In The Purge, a speculative thriller that follows one family over the course of a single night, four people will be tested to see how far they will go to protect themselves when the vicious outside world breaks into their home.
When James (Training Day’s and Sinister’s ETHAN HAWKE) and Mary Sandin (Game of Thrones’ LENA HEADEY) discover that an intruder (Cougar Town’s EDWIN HODGE) has broken into their gated community during the yearly lockdown, thus begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear their family apart.
Now, it is up to James, Mary and their children—14-year-old Charlie (Parenthood’s MAX BURKHOLDER) and 16-year-old Zoey (Teen Wolf’s ADELAIDE KANE)—to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide.”

James DeMonaco was inspired to draft The Purge after a couple of unexpected events put his creative process in motion. Most significantly, the idea for the story was sown when he and his wife were almost killed by a reckless driver. DeMonaco recalls:

“In a fit of terrible road rage, I had gotten out of the car to argue with this guy, and my wife pulled me back. When we got back in, she turned to me and said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we all had one free one a year?’ I thought that was such a dark thing to say, especially for a doctor. But it stayed with me for a very long time.”

“Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren work to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in their farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.”

Take a look to this new picture of Shailene Woodley as Beatrice Prior aka Tris in Divergent, the upcoming romantic action science-fiction movie directed by Neil Burger (who helmed Limitless):

(Click on the picture to enlarge.)

Plot:
“Set in a futuristic dystopia, a teenager (Shailene Woddley) seeks to break free from her homogeneous society that divides people based on human traits. She leaves her faction and joins a rival group, where she falls for an older man.”

The symbols of the five faction have also been revealed:

(Click on a poster to enlarge.)

Divergent – Abnegation
I willbe my undoing if I become my obsession.

Divergent – Amity
Trust. Self-sufficiency. Forgiveness. Kindness.

Divergent – Candor
Dishonesty makes evil possible. Truth makes us inextricable.

Divergent – Dauntless
We believe in freedom from fear, in ordinary acts of bravery, in defending those who cannot defend themselves.

Divergent – Erudite
Knowledge is the only logical solution to conflict. Intelligence must be used for the benefit of society.

What’s your faction? Or maybe you’re a divergent?

In theaters: March 21, 2014.

Yet a new banner poster of Pacific Rim, the upcoming action science-fiction movie directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, and Rinko Kikuchi:

Trailer of Pacific Rim

(Click on the poster to enlarge.)

And this new featurette of Pacific Rim gives us a better understanding of how the giant robots are piloted by their human controllers:

PACIFIC RIMPlot:
“When an alien attack threatens the Earth’s existence, giant robots piloted by humans are deployed to fight off the menace.”

So to pilot one of those giant robots, they need two interlinked human brains (that is two pilots who fuse their minds together), because one brain alone would become overloaded by the amount of data. That’s fine.

But I thought those robots were remote controlled drones and it actually looks like the pilots are inside the robots… If they have the technology to build such awesome robots why can’t they control them remotely? It would be much safer for the pilots!

Release Date: July 12, 2013.
