Plot:
“The film follows two friends, Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, as they rise from rebellious Southern California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group that paved the way for future generations of girl bands. Joan and Cherie fall under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley, played by Michael Shannon, who turns the group into an outrageous success and a family of misfits. With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself—and so do its two leads: Joan is the band’s pure rock’ n’ roll heart, while Cherie, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten. Written and directed by Floria Sigismondi, the film chronicles Joan and Cherie’s tumultuous relationship on and off stage, as the band starts to break out.”
The Runaways had a crazy manager, as crazy as the band actually!
The movie Runaways is directed by Floria Sigismondi. It will hit theaters on March 19, 2010.

The first official movie trailer of Buried, the upcoming thriller movie directed by Rodrigo Cortes and starring Ryan Reynolds, has been released:
BURIED
Plot:
“Paul is a U.S. contractor working in Iraq. After an attack by a group of Iraqis he wakes to find he is buried alive inside a coffin. With only a lighter and a cell phone it’s a race against time to escape this claustrophobic death trap.”
I don’t think I would survive very long if I was buried like Ryan Reynolds: I’d have a stroke in the first ten minutes, too scary!
The movie Buried will be shown at the Sundance Film Festival. So I suppose it will find a distributor quite soon.

Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter in the upcoming Alice in Wonderland movie directed by Tim Burton. Here’s a new featurette in which Johnny Depp introduces the character he’s playing:
Alice in Wonderland – The Mad Hatter
Johnny Depp talks about playing the Mad Hatter.
I play the Mad hatter. He’s mad, he’s unpredictable. You see instantly what he’s feeling: his emotions are very close to the surface. He’s a fascinating character!
Actor Johnny Depp
The Mad Hatter is a character as fascinating as Johnny Depp himself.

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning have the lead roles in the Runaways, a music-fueled story of the ground-breaking, all girl, teenage rock band of the 1970s: The Runaways. They play respectively as Joan Jett, co-founding member and rhythm guitarist of the band, and as Cherie Currie, the band’s lead vocalist.
Take a look to those new pictures of the Runaways:

I heard that Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart will have a kind of Lesbian makeout scene: it’s gonna be hot! The Runaways won’t be a movie for kids!
;-P
Here’s a new extended behind-the-scenes featurette in which The cast and crew take us on an in-depth look at the making of James Cameron’s epic:
Avatar – Creating the world of Pandora
Plot synopsis:
“A paraplegic marine (Sam Worthington) dispatched to the moon Pandora on a unique mission becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world he feels is his home.”
Avatar was a great movie, no need to worry, there’s definitely a movie sequel to Avatar ahead of us. So let’s get ready for Avatar 2!

Plot:
“As the global economy teeters on the brink of disaster, a young Wall Street trader (Shia Labeouf) partners with disgraced former Wall Street corporate raider Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) on a two-tiered mission: To alert the financial community to the coming doom, and to find out who was responsible for the death of the young trader’s mentor (Frank Langella).”
Do you think Shia Labeouf knows anything about derivatives or even about simple stocks? Or is such knowledge just useless to get a lead role in Wall Street 2?

“At its core, Spider-Man is a small, intimate human story about an everyday teenager that takes place in an epic super-human world. The key for us as we sought a new director was to identify filmmakers who could give sharp focus to Peter Parker’s life. We wanted someone who could capture the awe of being in Peter’s shoes so the audience could experience his sense of discovery while giving real heart to the emotion, anxiety, and recklessness of that age and coupling all of that with the adrenaline of Spider-Man’s adventure. We believe Marc Webb is the perfect choice to bring us on that journey.”
Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures
Well Webb’s got a fitting name for the job, and he seems enthusiast:
“This is a dream come true and I couldn’t be more aware of the challenge, responsibility, or opportunity. Sam Raimi’s virtuoso rendering of Spider-Man is a humbling precedent to follow and build upon. The first three films are beloved for good reason. But I think the Spider-Man mythology transcends not only generations but directors as well. I am signing on not to ‘take over’ from Sam. That would be impossible. Not to mention arrogant. I’m here because there’s an opportunity for ideas, stories, and histories that will add a new dimension, canvas, and creative voice to Spider-Man.”
Director Marc Webb
Besides Stan Lee agrees with the choice:
“I’m excited that Sony has chosen a director with a real penchant and understanding for the character. This is a brave, bold direction for the franchise, and I can’t wait to see what Marc comes up with next.”
Stan Lee, co-creator of Spider Man
Still hard to share Kevin Feige’s optimism though:
“The idea of re-imagining the on-screen story for one of the world’s most iconic superheros is sure to deliver an exciting new dimension to Spider-Man fans everywhere. There are volumes of comics and material available to inspire fresh and compelling takes on Peter Parker and his journey as Spidey and we look forward to seeing this come alive onscreen.”
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige
Anyway let’s hope that Screentwriter James Vanderbilt did manage to come up with a great script for this reboot of Spiderman.
:/
Director Spencer Susser introduces us to his upcoming drama movie Hesher in this preview clip:
HESHER
Plot:
“Hesher is a loner. He hates the world and everyone in it. He has long greasy hair and homemade tattoos. He is malnourished and smokes a lot of cigarettes. He likes fire and blowing things up. He lives in his van, until he meets TJ.”
The movie Hesher is starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Natalie Portman and Rain Wilson.

Director Martin (who helmed a few James Bond besides the upcoming Edge of Darkness movie) will be directing the upcoming live-action Green Lantern movie set to star Ryan Reynolds. He talked to Collider (here) about his take on the Green Lantern:
“It will be much more in the tone of Iron Man. It’s got to be. Certainly not Batman Begins, which is a pretty dark movie. No, he’s the Hal Jordan character who’s the sort of shoot from the hip, irresponsible kind of cocky test pilot if you will. In fact, the character seems to be the least likely to be chosen as Green Lantern. Well, of course that’s the fun of it. So no, it’ll be much more like Iron Man. So it’ll have one foot in reality if you see what I mean.”
Director Martin Campbell
I can but agree with martin Campbell’s assessment. Hal Jordan is indeed a quite optimistic Green Lantern, almost cheeerful compared to John Stewart, the second human to become a Green Lantern (but that’s for an other movie, I hope!).
Plot of the Green Lantern:
“A test pilot is granted a mystical green ring that bestows him with otherworldly powers, as well as membership into an intergalactic squadron tasked with keeping peace within the universe.”
The movie Green Lantern will be released on June 17, 2011.

Filming of the Hangover 2, the movie sequel to last summer Hangover, will start filming in Fall 2010. The schedule was revealed by Actor Bradley Cooper:
