Nature’s biggest secret will be unlocked in the Zookeeper, the upcoming comedy movie directed by Frank Coraci and starring Kevin James:
Plot:
“The animals at one particular zoo decide to break their code of silence in order to help their lovable zookeeper gain the attention of one particular woman.”
Animals can definitely talk! You just need to to be open-minded and to listen carefully. Not sure plants talk though, they probably listen, but don’t expect them to talk back to you any soon.
The Zookeeper movie will be released on July 8, 2011.

We’ve got our hands on the UK trailer of One Day, the upcoming romantic drama movie directed by Lone Scherfig and starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess that’s set to open in theaters on August 19, 2011:
Plot:
“After one day together – July 15th, 1988, their college graduation – Emma Morley (Academy Award nominee Anne Hathaway) and Dexter Mayhew (Jim Sturgess of Across the Universe) begin a friendship that will last a lifetime. She is a working-class girl of principle and ambition who dreams of making the world a better place. He is a wealthy charmer who dreams that the world will be his playground.
For the next two decades, key moments of their relationship are experienced over several July 15ths in their lives. Together and apart, we see Dex and Em through their friendship and fights, hopes and missed opportunities, laughter and tears. Somewhere along their journey, these two people realize that what they are searching and hoping for has been there for them all along. As the true meaning of that one day back in 1988 is revealed, they come to terms with the nature of love and life itself.”
Haven’t read the book (written by David Nicholls) the film is based on. So I don’t know if there’s a happy end to this story. I hope so though! Because there’s no denying that Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess make a lovely couple on screen: let them love each other for God’s sake!

Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts reunite for a dramatic comedy about how the hard knocks from today’s recession inspire one everyday guy to undergo a personal reinvention: Larry Crowne. Watch below a new international movie trailer of Larry Crowne:
LARRY CROWNE
Plot:
“Until he was downsized, affable, amiable Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) was a superstar team leader at the big-box company where he’s worked since his time in the Navy. Underwater on his mortgage and unclear on what to do with his suddenly free days, Larry heads to his local college to start over. There he becomes part of a colorful community of outcasts all trying to find a better future for themselves… often moving around town in a herd of scooters. In his public-speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his teacher Mercedes Tainot (Julia Roberts), who has lost as much passion for teaching as she has for her husband.
The simple guy who has every reason to think his life has stalled will come to learn an unexpected lesson: when you think everything worth having has passed you by, you just might discover your reason to live.”
I have profound respect and admiration for those people who, after years in the corporate world, decide to go back to school. It’s not that easy to get back to study: it requires commitment and a strong will. Do you think you could go back to school to learn a new trade if you had to?
Besides Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, the movie Larry Crowne is also starring Bryan Cranston, Cedric the Entertainer and Taraji P. Henson. The film will open in theaters on July 1, 2011.

Here’s the first official movie trailer 0f 50/50, the upcoming drama comedy movie movie directed by Jonathan Levine and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Anjelica Huston:
50/50
Plot:
“Inspired by personal experiences, 50/50 is an original story about friendship, love, survival and finding humor in unlikely places. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen star as best friends whose lives are changed by a cancer diagnosis. Rogen also serves as producer, along with Evan Goldberg and Ben Karlin. Jonathan Levine directs from a script by Will Reiser. ‘We worked with Will on Da Ali G show, and it was shortly after that we learned he was sick’, Rogen recalls. ‘As shocking, sad, confusing and generally screwed up as it was; we couldn’t ignore that because we were so ill-equipped to deal with the situation, funny things kept happening. Will got better, and when he did, we thought the best way to pull something good out of the situation was to get him to write a screenplay. Ideally we wanted to make a film that would be as funny, sad, and hopefully as honest as the experience we went through. As soon as the script was completed, it quickly became a passion project for all of us. It helped us come to terms with Will’s struggle as well as our own experiences’. 50/50 is the story of a guy’s transformative and, yes, sometimes funny journey to health. 50/50 draws its emotional core from Will Reiser’s own experience with cancer and reminds us that friendship and love, no matter what bizarre turns they take, are the greatest healers.”
Cancer may sound like a daunting topic for a comedy movie. But the 50/50 team managed to make movie that’s touching but still funny. I’m especially impressed with Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s performance: he’s going to demonstrate once more all the talent he got.
The movie 50/50 will be released in theaters on September 30, 2011.

Jeffrey Katzenberg who is animation chief at Dreamworks previously said that quite a few more Kung Fu Panda movies were being planned by the animation studio:
“Kung Fu Panda actually has 6 chapters to it, and we’ve mapped that out over the years”
DreamWorks Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg
So it comes a no surprise that the end of Kung Fu Panda 2 was left wide open for a potential new sequel: at the very end of Kung Fu Panda 2, after the news of Po’s victory over the crazy Lord Shen has spread in China, we see that Po’s real father and a few other pandas actually survived to the attack on their village and have been living in hiding for years in some remote place. We’ll also see that Po’s real father is all excited to learn that his son Po is still alive, and that he has become a hero with that.
That’s why I bet that Kung Fu Panda 3 will involve a family reunion (my own speculation here): Po and the Furious Five will embark in a new journey either to go visit his real father or to save his father’s new village from some new threat. But maybe you have a better suggestion regarding the plot of Kung Fu Panda 3? Well share with us, if lucky your idea could be picked up by Dreamworks if they were to drop by.
Anyway, stay tuned with us for more information about Kung Fu panda 3 as details emerge.

Ted
Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Seth MacFarlane
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel McHale, Seth MacFarlane
Release Date: July 13, 2012
Plot:
Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane brings his boundary-pushing brand of humor to the big screen for the first time as writer, director and voice star of Ted. In the live action/CG-animated comedy, he tells the story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish…and has refused to leave his side ever since.
Mark Wahlberg plays a perfectly normal Boston native whose childhood wish for his teddy bear to come to life comes true. The bear (Ted) — voiced by MacFarlane himself — remains his best friend well into his adult years. Conflict emerges when Ted’s irresponsible and vulgar slacker lifestyle comes in the way of his attempt to embrace his adulthood and the woman of his dreams, played by Mila Kunis. MacFarlane’s directorial debut will be a live-action effort with the exception of the computer-animated Ted. MacFarlane wrote the screenplay alongside his Family Guy colleagues Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild.
Plot:
“In HIGHLANDER, after centuries of dueling to survive against others like him, Connor MacLeod, an immortal Scottish swordsman must confront the last of his kind, a murderously brutal barbarian, who lusts for the fabled Prize.”
