Two TV clips of Sherlock Holmes have popped up online:

Robert Downey Jr makes a crazy Sherlock Holmes! But I don’t mind Guy Ritchie’s take on the detective: the character created by Conan Doyle needed to be revamped!

A new trailer of How To Train Your Dragon, the upcoming 3D animated movie produced by Dreamworks, has shown up online:

How To Train Your Dragon Movie Trailer

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
Plot:
“The film is set in a mythical world of vikings and dragons. The story centers around a viking teenager named Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel), who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor is disliked by his tribe and its chief, Hiccup’s father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down.”

The movie How To Train Your Dragon feels like Kung Fu Panda: it’s a funny character-driven story in which we may discover some quite interesting personalities. I’m quite sure that the movie How To train Your Dragon is gonna be a blockbuster.

Director Mike Newel has been working on Prince of Persia the movie adaptation of the famous game franchise of the name. Here’s the Prince of Persia trailer:

Prince of Persia Movie Trailer

PRINCE OF PERSIA
Plot:
“Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a street urchin in 6th century Persia. After showing valor in battle, he is adopted by the king as his heir, so the king’s two sons will not fight over the throne.[1] He 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).”

Jake Gyllenhaal looks ab it too clean as Dastan, but I don’t mind anymore after seeing this movie trailer of Prince of Persia The Sands of Time!

Jordan Mechner, the creator of the game, who wrote the script of the film, must be be really happy to see how good the movie Prince of Persia is.

You may watch below a first preview clip of Precious, the upcoming drama movie based on the novel Push by Sapphire:

“In New York City’s Harlem circa 1987, an overweight, abused, illiterate teen who is pregnant with her second child is invited to enroll in an alternative school in hopes that her life can head in a new direction.”

Life is damn tough with Precious… Fortunately, some help is coming her way…

By the way:

Did you recognize the singer Mariah Carey in this clip?

Dreamworks is working on Oobermind, an upcoming 3D animated movie directed by Tom McGrath (who once brought us Madagascar and its sequel). The story revolves around a supervillain who unwillingly becomes the new acclaimed hero. The film will be released on November 5, 2010.

Here below the first banner poster of Oobermind:

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“When super villain Oobermind (Will Ferrell) defeats his archrival Metro Man (Brad Pitt), the world should be his oyster. But instead, Oobermind falls into total despair. It turns out that life without a rival is life without a purpose for him. So he creates a new superhero rival, Titan (Jonah Hill). Unfortunately for him and the world, the new hero wants to be a super villain too. The new villain begins his rampage, and Oobermind sets out to stop him, beginning a path to redemption in the process.”

Supervillains and mad scientists usually have a more interesting background than the heroes. So I ‘m quite glad that Dreamworks if producing Oobermind! I hope that Oobermind got this crazy freaky laugh, that only a movie villain can make: muhaha!

“From his working class roots, John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his beautiful wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley walks away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of his skill and determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford). Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system – and time.
But, at the last minute, when it appears that a solution has been found, the relationship between the two men faces a final test – the outcome of which will affect the fate of John’s children.”

Cast:
– Brendan Fraser as John Crowley
– Keri Russell as Aileen Crowley, John’s wife
– Harrison Ford as Dr. Robert Stonehill, an unconventional scientist

The movie Extraordinary Measures is based on the true story of John Crowley, the father of a family whose kids suffer from Pompe disease:

May God bless John Crowley for he is a real hero! And may this story open the eyes of those religious bigots and other Luddites who want to hinder science from making a better world in which kids can be cured from genetics disorders!

For his feature film directorial debut, Director Sam Taylor-Wood is tackling a biopic of John Lenon, the leader of the Beatles: the movie, titled Nowhere Boy, is about John Lenon’s childhood and adolescence. It is starring Aaron Johnson, Thomas Sangster, Anne-Marie Duff, and Kristin Scott Thomas.

Here below the first official movie trailer of Nowhere Boy:

NOWHERE BOY

Discover the untold story of John Lenon!

It’s a quite intimate look to the early life of the star. And I think it’s a quite honest look since it’s is based on the book ‘Imagine This: Growing Up With My Brother John Lennon’ by Lennon’s half sister Julia Baird.

We had the remastered Beatles albums and now we have a movie dedicated to John Lenon: it’s like the Beatle mania has been reignited!

The Resident is an upcoming thriller drama movie written and directed by Antti Jokinen and starring Hilary Swank, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Christopher Lee. The movie will be released in 2010.
Here’s a first glimpse at The Resident:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“Every year, three million single women in America move into an apartment for the first time. They do not know who lived in the apartment before them, they do not know their landlords, and they don’t bother to change the locks. This is the story of one such woman…
After separating from her husband, pretty young doctor Juliet Dermer (Hilary Swank) moves to Brooklyn, settling into a new life in a stunning and spacious loft apartment that seems too good to be true.
It is…
Mysterious occurrences lead her to suspect that she is not alone in her home and quickly her fears become all too real. In a chilling revelation, she discovers that her seemingly charming, young landlord, Max (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), has developed a dangerous obsession with her. A terrifying game of cat and mouse ensues as Juliet fights to free herself from Max’s sinister intentions.”

The plot of The Resident could be based on a true story: the world is full of freaks! Just a few months ago, I heard about a landlord who rigged a hidden camera in the bedroom of a teenage tenant… But it’s even worse in the movie because the landlord dares to enter in the house! Creepy! Such stories can but convince people to support the NRA!
;-P

A new preview clip of Bad Lieutenant is available, the upcoming dark comedy directed by Werner Herzog starring Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes:

Bad Lieutenant – Do you see I am on the phone?
Terence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage) needs his prescription but the service isn’t the most customer friendly…

This scene of Bad Lieutenant is much more hilarious when you’re watching the movie in a theater with other people around laughing with you!
:)

Here’s a first look at Zoe Saldana as Aisha on the set of The Losers, the upcoming action movie directed by Sylvain White and based on the DC comic book of the same name:

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)

Aisha is described as the loose cannon among the Losers. She is identified by her eyebrow piercing and tied-back hair. She may look cute but she’s no little girl: she’s a walking weapon, expert in all combat skills, and she prefers to leave corpses rather than survivors when she engages the enemy!

Sounds like there is going to be some real action for Zoe Saldana in the Losers movie!

Love in an upcoming sci-fi movie directed by William Eubank. The film is inspired by the upcoming album of the same name by the alternative rock band Angels & Airwaves.The release date is said to be Valentine’s Day, 2010, (February 14, 2010).

Here’s the latest official movie trailer of Love:

LOVE
Plot:
“After losing contact with Earth, Astronaut Lee Miller becomes stranded in orbit alone aboard the International Space Station. As time passes and life support systems dwindle, Lee battles to maintain his sanity – and simply stay alive. His world is a claustrophobic and lonely existence, until he makes a strange discovery aboard the ship. Driven by the powerful music of Angels and Airwaves, Love explores the fundamental human need for connection and the limitless power of hope… A high-impact visual adventure, that resonates a common truth, that everyone has a story to tell and something even greater to leave behind.”

I haven’t heard of this movie before seeing the trailer today, and I’m quite hooked now! I’m totally thrilled by this kind of movies. It kind of feels like Richard Kelly’s Donnie Darko and Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris, but the whole thing boosted with the music of Angels & Airwaves.

An earlier trailer of Love leaked online some time ago, and it just confirms that Love is gonna be a good sci-fi movie, an existentialist sci-fi movie: Continue reading »
