There is a new Flash Gordon movie ahead. And it won’t be cheesy like the 1980 version: Director Breck Eisner (whose movie ‘The Crazies‘ will be released in February) will be in charge of the project, and he’s likely to do for Flash Gordon what Christopher Nolan did for the Batman movie franchise with batman Begins.
Plot:
“American football player Flash Gordon and his beautiful girlfriend Dale Arden become unwillingly passengers on-board Dr. Hans Zarkov’s rocket-ship, where they arrive on the planet Mongo, ruled by the evil Emperor Ming the Merciless.”
Breck Eisner’s take on Flash Gordon promises indeed to be a darker version filled with adventure and action:
“The thing about FLASH is, you’ve got to throw away the 80s version of it. I want it to be intense, aggressive, gritty and real. For me it’s about reinventing FLASH – we’re still staying true to the adventure origins of it, and the adventurous spirit in that movie, absolutely. It’s this man brought to another planet and uniting the disparate groups on Mongo, but there is a gritty, intense, dynamic, active quality to the movie. Very modern. It’s not camp.”
Director Breck Eisner
Now, if only Breck Eisner could learn from James Cameron’s experience on the movie Avatar, then the movie Flash Gordon would be damn awesome! Just imagine Flash Gordon’s epic journey on the planet Mongo in 3D and in IMAX, how fantastic it would be!
The movie Flash Gordon should be released sometime in 2012. Hope to get more information soon!

Our Family Wedding
Genre: Comedy/Family
Directed by: Rick Famuyiwa
Starring: Forest Whitaker, America Ferrera, Carlos Mencia, Regina King, Lance Gross
Release Date: March 12, 2010
Plot:
“In this new telling of the classic fairy tale, audiences will be transported to a stunning CG fantasy world complete with the iconic tower, an evil witch, a gallant hero and, of course, the mysterious girl with the long golden tresses. Expect adventure, heart, humor, and hair… lots of hair, when Rapunzel unleashes her locks in theaters for the 2010 holiday.”
Actress Mandy Moore who’s lending her voice to Rapunzel said about her character:
“Rapunzel is sort of the quintessential sassy, feisty Disney heroine. She’s quite modern, quite a curious girl as well. She’s just coming into her own and is anxious to figure out a way to see the world around her that she’s been kept away from for so many years.”
Actress Mandy Moore
The movie Rapunzel was first directed by Glen Keane and it was titled Rapunzel Unbraided: Rapunzel was kind of looking like Barby in this version. But the project has since been revamped and it is now directed by Byron Howard and Nathan Greno: Rapunzel looks somewha more natural (picture above). But I don’t think she is that much different from Glen Keane’s Rapunzel, here’s an early clip of Rapunzel (the unbraided version):
The movie Rapunzel will be released on November 24, 2010.

Director Peter berg is tackling the movie adaptation of Battleship, the famous board game. But it won’t be the Battleship you may expect: Peter Berg’s Battleship is about a few battleships battling against an alien invasion! The cast hasn’t been announced yet.
Director Peter Berg talked about the plot of Battleship the movie:
“There’s a group of life forms from some other planet have come to our planet for something. They’ve got a very specific agenda. That agenda is not global domination. It’s an agenda and that agenda puts them into conflict with members of our military. Their technology is relatable. It’s not incredibly far out and unbeatable. It’s comprehensible. Hopefully it’ll make for good fun and an intense ride.”
Director Peter berg
The movie Battleship will probably be in 3D. It is set for a release on on August 5, 201.

The Eagle of the Ninth is an upcoming sword and sandal movie directed by Kevin Macdonald and starring Channing Tatum, Jamie Bell, Mark Strong, and Denis O’Hare. The film is set to be released in fall 2010. Focus Features released the first pictures of Eagle of the Ninth, take a look below:
Plot:
“In 140 AD, twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) arrives from Rome to solve the mystery and restore the reputation of his father, the commander of the Ninth. Accompanied only by his British slave Esca (Jamie Bell), Marcus sets out across Hadrian’s Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia – to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father’s memory, and retrieve the lost legion’s golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth.”
Hollywood is like obsessed with The Ninth Legion… The Eagle of the Ninth is just one more movie on this theme! And it will have to compete with Neil Marshall’s Centurion which is likely to be released sometime in the second half of 2010! But the Eagle of the Ninth movie can boast Channing Tattum in its cast. Well, I guess I’ll watch both movies anyway.

The Magazine Empire got their hands on a three new pictures of Shyamalan’s Last Airbender, the upcoming movie adaptation of the animated series Avatar The Last Airbender:

Those 3 pictures of the Last Airbender are a nice addition to our growing collection:

If you haven’t seen the teaser trailer of the Last Airbender yet, here it is:
The Last Airbender
The Last Airbender movie will be the first opus of a trilogy.
:)
Plot:
“A comedy adventure set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons.”
Jack Sully was allowed to ride a banshee and fly over Pandora, and Hiccup can fly with his own dragon over the ocean! On one hand I envy them, but on the other hand I’m quite glad there aren’t such dangerous flying beasts roaming in the sky!

You may watch below two clips of From Paris With Love, an upcoming action comedy movie directed by Jonathan Rhys Meyers and starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers:

Still no word about the plot of Star Trek 2… Against what enemy will Captain Kirk and the crew of the starship USS Enterprise will have to face off this time?
