Alpha and omega is an upcoming 3D CGI animated movie directed by Anthony Bell and Ben Gluck and produced by Lionsgate. Hayden Panettiere and Justin Long are lending their voices to two wolves, the protagonists of the story. The film will be released on October 10, 2010.

Here below a first look at the movie Alpha and Omega:

Plot:
“Kate and Humphrey are two wolves who are nothing alike. Kate’s an alpha wolf – to her, discipline, duty and responsibility are everything. On the other hand, Humphrey is an omega wolf — fun, friends and frivolity are what are important to him. In the world of wolves, alphas and omegas don’t mix, mingle or mate – such is pack law.
As the alpha wolf daughter of the western pack leader, Kate is arranged to marry Garth, the alpha wolf son of the eastern pack leader, not for love but to prevent a deadly war between the two packs. But the marriage is put on hold when, unbeknownst to anyone, Kate and Humphrey are taken by park rangers from their home in Jasper Park, Canada and relocated to Sawtooth Park, Idaho.
Desperate to get back in time to marry Garth and prevent war, and battling each other’s different points of view, the long distance and a few bears and porcupines along the way, Kate and Humphrey must work together to make the long journey home to their beloved Jasper Park. But Kate and Humphrey soon discover a new obstacle: somewhere along the way, Kate and Humphrey have fallen in love.”

Judging from the picture above, the movie Alpha and Omega won’t look a good as a Dreamworks or a Disney Pixar movie… But that cute wolf could win my heart any day, even if the CGI isn’t top-notch… And I can imagine intense 3D rides though the forest during the epic journey of Alpha and Omega.

The Tree of Life is a period drama fantasy movie directed by Terrence Malick and starring Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain. The film will be released sometime in 2010.

Update – The trailer of Tree of Life is now online:

TREE OF LIFE

Here’s a first look at Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain in the Tree of Life movie:

Plot
“At the end of the 1960’s in Texas, Jack O’Brien (Sean Penn), the the eldest of three brothers, just lost his younger brother. And he remembers his childhood. The Tree of life traces the evolution of an eleven-year-old boy in the Midwest. At first all seems marvelous to the child. He sees as his mother (Joana Going)does, with the eyes of his soul. She represents the way of love and mercy, where the father (Brad Pitt) tries to teach his son the world’s way, of putting oneself first. Each parent contends for his allegiance, and Jack must reconcile their claims. The picture darkens as he has his first glimpses of sickness, suffering and death. The world, once a thing of glory, becomes a labyrinth.
Framing this story is that of adult Jack, a lost soul in a modern world, seeking to discover amid the changing scenes of time that which does not change: the eternal scheme of which we are a part. When he sees all that has gone into our world’s preparation, each thing appears a miracle — precious, incomparable. Jack, with his new understanding, is able to forgive his father and take his first steps on the path of life.”

This plot doesn’t tell as much as one may think: the Tree of Life hasn’t been really unveiled yet. According to the rumor, Director Terrence Malick would mix some mysterious prehistoric scene or something like that to the film! Sounds a bit far fetched, but it could bring a great surprise.

Hope to get more information about the Tree of Life movie soon!

A new movie trailer of Creation (they finally keep the same title in the USA), the upcoming biopic of Charles Darwin directed by Jon Amiel and starring Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly, has been released:

CREATION
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.”

Creation is a beautiful movie about the family life of Charles Darwin, a genius who enlightened the world with the theory of Evolution!

If your mother in law is a creationist bigot, do like me, invite her along to watch this movie: with the help of God who gave us brains (but who unfortunately didn’t turn it on by default), it could open her eyes on the stupidity of creationism…
;-P

Director Jay Roach has stepped aside to let Director Paul Weitz (who once brought us About a Boy and The Vampire’s Assistant) take over the Meet the Parents comedy movie franchise. The new movie sequel to Meet the Fockers is titled Little Fockers. The film is starring Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Barbra Streisand, Dustin Hoffman, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson (the cast from the previous movies) are returning for the Little Fockers. It’s already in post-production and will be released on July 30, 2010.

Little Fockers Movie Trailer

Update: here’s the Little Fockers movie trailer:

LITTLE FOCKERS

Here’s a first look at Robert de Niro and Ben Stiller in the Little Fockers movie:

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“After marrying Pam, the daughter of a retired CIA agent, Gaylord Greg Focker now has twins. The Focker and the Byrnes families try to cope with raising the two children.”

Movie Cast:
– Jack Tiberius Byrnes (Robert De Niro): Pam’s father and Dina’s husband. He is an ex-CIA agent who still has many contacts within the CIA.

– Gaylord “Greg” Myron Focker (Ben Stiller): The main character of the movie. He was a nurse living in Chicago with his wife Pam, the daughter of a retired CIA agent. He is now a proud father of five-year old twins.

– Pamela Martha Byrnes/Focker (Teri Polo): Greg’s wife and mother to his two 5-year old twins. She was engaged briefly to Kevin before marrying Greg.

– Rosalind “Roz” Focker (Barbra Streisand): Greg’s mother and Bernie’s wife. She is a sex therapist for elderly people.

– Kevin Rawley (Owen Wilson): He was once Pam’s fiancee. His role in this film will be much larger than that of previous films.

– Headmistress (Laura Dern): She is the headmistress of the elementary school attended by the twins.

– Jessica Alba: She will play the role of an extremely attractive pharmaceutical representative whose looks wreak havoc on the male characters in the story.

– Henry Focker (Colin Baiocchi): The son of Greg and Pam. Twin brother of Samantha Focker.

– Samantha Focker (Daisy Tahan): Daughter of Greg and Pam. Twin sister of Henry Focker.

– Tamyra (Raven-Symoné): She will be the nanny/babysitter of Greg and Pam’s 5-year old twins.

I’m quite confident that the movie Little Fockers will be a real blockbuster comedy movie this Summer 2010. I’m quite impatient to see how Jack Byrnes (Robert de Niro) how will behave now that he is grandfather! The Little Fockers is going to be an hilarious movie.

Take a look to this new batch of pictures of Robin Hood, the upcoming period action movie directed by Ridley Scott and starring Russell Crowe:

Robin Hood Trailer

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

I would have imagined Russell Crowe who’s a bit fat as the jovial Friar Tuck rather than as the slim Robin Hood from the story (I’d rather see an actor like Jude Law as Robin Hood). But Crowe is a good actor and he will for sure manage to amaze us with his performance.

Have you ever met someone you love so much it hurts?

Here below a first look at Michael Cera as Scott W. Pilgrim (Zero shirt):

Plot:
“Scott Pilgrim must defeat his new girlfriend’s seven evil ex-boyfriends in order to win her heart.”

If Michael Cera can deliver the same crazy performance as in Youth in Revolt, then the movie Scott Pilgrim will be a winner!

Director Tom Dey is working on a live-action movie adaptation of Marmaduke, the popular comic strip about Marmaduke the funny Great Dane Dog. The film will be told from the viewpoint of Marmaduke. It will be released on June 4, 2010.

Marmaduke Trailer

Update: Here’s the movie trailer of Marmaduke:

MARMADUKE Movie trailer

Watch this clip to learn more about this upcoming Marmaduke movie:

MARMADUKE

Director Tom Dey compares his Marmaduke film to a coming of age comedy movie:

“We’ve approached the movie like a John Hughes movie with dogs. The dog park is like high school for dogs. To make this kind of movie, you really have to understand that it is the dog’s world and we just live in it.
[…]
Marmaduke is a teenager, and he’s trying to find his way in the world. It’s a boy-meets-girl story, a coming-of-age and cautionary tale.”

Director Tom Dey

This Marmaduke movie could well be funny: that dog and his ears make me smile already. And knowing that Actor Owen Wilson is lending his voice to Marmaduke, I’m quite sure it’s going to be hilarious!

Besides Owen Wilson the film is also starring Emma Stone, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Ron Perlman, Judy Greer, Anjelah Johnson, Lee Pace and Steve Coogan.

By the way, a movie trailer of Marmaduke is likely to be shown in front of Alvin and the Chipmunks 2.
