Walt Disney Pictures must targeting young girls with those two new sweet posters of The Princess and the Frog:

The Princess and the Frog Movie

(Click on a poster to enlarge it.)

The story of The Princess and the Frog will mostly take place in the bayou of Louisiana. Our frog heroes will meet of course bump into an alligator, but don’t be afraid they won’t be eaten: actually the alligator they’ll meet is a cool jazzy chap!

A second movie trailer of Despicable Me, an upcoming animated movie directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud:

DESPICABLE ME
Plot:
“Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), an Intolerable villain masterminds the ultimate plot to steal the moon, with help from his evil mother. However, when a trio of orphan girls come under his care and refuse to leave, he is forced to rethink his plans.”

Gru may have a hard time to catch the attention of a large public. But I can imagine this film doing well later on some network: still looks like a good movie for kids after all. And actually I kind of like what’s shown in this new movie trailer of Despicable Me: I wish I could fortify my property with so many geeky gadgets!

The first official poster of Green Zone, the upcoming war thriller movie starring Matt Damon, has been unveiled:

GREEN ZONE

Chef Warrant Officer Roy Miller is done following orders!

Plot:
“n 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Matt Damon) and his team of inspectors are on a mission to find Iraq’s reported stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. Traveling from one dangerous site to the other, Miller and his team fail to find any chemical agents or other weapons. Instead, they discover an elaborate cover-up in which the most elusive weapon of all is the truth.”

It feels like Jason Bourne is back in town, er, I mean, in the Green Zone.
;-P

Summit Entertainment has released a new featurette focusing on the Volturi, the law enforcers in the Vampire world:

New Moon Trailer

Volturi – twilight New Moon
Yep, Edward (Robert Pattinson) is maybe handsome, but he isn’t as strong as Jacob the wolf… No wonder this Volturi guard kicks him so easily!

Those posters of Doctor Parnassus may look kitsch, but I would not mind having Lily Cole’s pinned on my wall: she’s so cute!

A new international movie trailer of Prince of Persia The Sands of Time has been released:

Prince of Persia Trailer

PRINCE OF PERSIA
Plot:
“A rogue prince and a mysterious princess in the mystical lands of Persia race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time – a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.”

I’ve got mixed feeling regarding this movie adaptation of Prince of Persia: on one hand it looks damn good for a live action movie, but on the other hand I’m quite sure it would have been way better if it was all in CGI… Maybe it was too expensive, so they had to resort to real actors… Or they just assumed it would be better with real actors…

Anyway, I’m still quite impatient to watch the movie Prince of Persia.

Take a look to the poster of Creation, an upcoming biopic that retraces the life of Charles Darwin, a great man who enlightened Mankind with the theory of Evolution:

Plot:
“English naturalist Charles Darwin, the author of The Origin of the Species, struggles to find a balance between his revolutionary theories on evolution and his relationship with his religious wife, whose faith contradicts his work.”

Here’s the trailer of Creation if you haven’t seen it yet:

Creation
May this movie help at least a few of those religious bigots to understand how stupid creationism is!

By the way, Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly who portray husband and wife in the movie Creation are are actually married in real life.

When she is accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy, Salt goes on the run to clear her name and ultimately prove she is a patriot.

The movie Salt will hit theaters on on July 23, 2010.

A few character posters of Clash of the Titans, the upcoming remake movie directed by Louis Leterrier, have shown up online:

Clash of the Titans Trailer

(Click on a poster to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“In the film, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on Earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.”

Those posters of Clash of the Titans are enough to get thrilled! Really glad that Director Louis Leterrier has been given the opportunity to develop his own take. I bet that, as cult as the 1981 movie is, it is gonna be eclipsed by Louis Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans!

Google is celebrating Wallace and Gromit’s 20th birthday, here’s the new doodle for the event:

Wallace and Gromit are the main characters in a series consisting of four British animated short films and a feature-length film by Nick Park of Aardman Animations. All the characters were made from moulded plasticine modelling clay on metal armatures, and filmed with stop motion clay animation.

Here below the trailer of the Wallace and Gromit movie that was released a few years ago:

In case you’re wondering: Gromit is the dog.

A bit less than two months before the official release of Avatar: I can barely wait! I definitely have to go watch this movie in the nearest IMAX theater!

Director Michael Bay is teasing us about Transformers 3 in a secret video on the blu-ray disc of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen:

Transformers 3 Michael Bay

Transformers 3 – Michael Bay
So Michael Bay is half-jokingly telling “lies”:
– Transformers 3 won’t be bigger, it will go sideways…
– Bumbleebe would have more screen time
– Bay would like to develop the robot characters

Actually what he’s saying does sound like something reliable. And it fits with what Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said earlier about Transformers 3. So don’t expect Unicron in transformers 3, that’s clear.

And i think it’s a good think that Michael Bay wants to balance the franchise in favor of the characters: we love action, but we need more perspective than in the second opus.

Anyway, Transformers 3 is already in pre-production and is tentatively scheduled for a release in July 2011.

Here’s a new series of character posters of Men who stare at goats, the upcoming dark comedy directed by Grant Heslov and starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, and Jeff Bridges:

I know my son heard about this movie and he was starring at me for at least one hour the other day when I refused to buy him some geeky action figure… Should I be worried?
