Plot:
“Ancient prophecy states that the world will end in 2012, could these storms, these tidal waves, these earthquakes signal the end? Could it be the final apocalypse that will wipe out Mankind from the surface of Earth?”
United in oblivion… That’s not a really enjoyable perspective… But at least the movie 2012 will be damn fun to watch! 2012 will hit theaters on November 13, 2009.
We already knew that Daft Punk were hired to score the movie Tron 2, aka Tron Legacy, and we’ve been hoping for a cameo. Well, good news, Actress Olivia Wilde let slip during an interview with that the French electronica duo will appear in the film: there will be a cameo of Daft Punk in Tron 2!
And it seems Disney is planning some special Tron 2 event for the next comic con, maybe the Daft Punk would go there to promote Tron legacy! Would be so awesome!

– Royce (Adrien Brody): main character, a Steve McQueen-type
– Cuchillo (Danny Trejo): a Mexican enforcer from a drug cartel who has twin uzi strapped to his back
– Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov): a frightening, Russian bear-of-a-man, armed with a four barrel, gas powered, rotary machine gun
– Isabelle (Alice Braga): a tough-as-nails woman armed with a sniper rifle and speaks French
– Stans (Walton Goggins): A prisoner with a shaved head, a scorpion tattoo on his neck and armed with a prison-made knife
– Mombassa (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali): An African member of the Sierra Leon death squad who’s not afraid to die
– Hanso (Louiz Ozawa): a bad-ass Japanese Yakuza enforcer
– Edwin (Topher Grace): a small unassuming man who is formerly one of FBI’s most wanted
Adrien Brody (The Pianist) is a surprising choice as the lead character of Predators. I suppose that this new Predator movie won’t be as manly as the first film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. But this ensemble cast is still quite appealing and they could deliver a great Predators movie. Let’s knock on wood for that!

We got our hand on a bundle of Astro Boy preview clips:
Plot:
“Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist in the image of the son he has lost. Unable to fulfill the grieving man’s expectations, our hero embarks on a journey in search of acceptance, experiencing betrayal and a netherworld of robot gladiators, before he returns to save Metro City and reconcile with the father who had rejected him.”
Astro Boy may look like a small boy, but he’s the strongest robot ever created!
Plot:
“A splinter group of Roman soldiers fight for their lives behind enemy lines after their legion is decimated in a devastating guerrilla attack.”
Director Neil Marshall’s Centurion is gonna be a dark bloody movie judging from the pictures above! Fortunately, the pretty Olga Kurylenko will bring some sensitivity to the whole thing.
:)
Plot:
“A fairy tale centered on a young girl named Princess Tiana who lives in New Orleans’ French Quarter during the Jazz Age.”
Kids may enjoy the Princess and the Frog, but the way it looks, I think Disney is rather targeting grown-ups who are nostalgic of hand-drawn animation…
:)
Take a look to the first official movie poster of Boondock Saints II:
(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)
Plot:
“The MacManus brothers are living a quiet life in Ireland with their father, but when they learn their beloved priest has been killed by mob forces, the duo return to Boston to bring justice to those responsible.”
Join the prayer before the MacManus brothers go on a retribution rampage in the movie Boondock Saints II All Saints Day!
;-P
Director Vincenzo Natali is bringing us Splice, an upcoming science fiction movie that dwells on the danger of genetic engineering, especially on the danger of splicing Human and animal DNA (in order to create a chimera). The film is starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley. The movie Splice should be released early next year.
Here below a first preview clip of Splice:
SPLICE
Plot:
“Elsa and Clive (Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley), two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named Dren, the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators – only to have that bond turn deadly.”
Hard to believe that this little monstrous thing could develop in anything beautiful later on. But I can totally imagine it becoming some dangerous predator. I am no Luddite, and I do want scientists to be allowed to pursue R&D in genetic engineering (from stem cells to splicing or whatever may help to increase our knowledge). But on can’t deny that there is need for regulation: don’t want dangerous chimera to feed on you or don’t want any new vicious GM virus to infect you, do you? It’s even more compelling to implement a strong regulation and to get ethical awareness in the population because tabletop genetic engineering is for tomorrow…
Anyway, I don’t think the movie Splice to go deep int hose issues. But at least it looks like it will be quite entertaining. Impatient to see what the grown-up creature will look like in the movie Splice!
:)
So depressed that Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) has to ask him to get down from a giant donut where Stark has been hiding his sorrow, and to invite him for lunch…
;-P
A bootleg movie trailer of Toy Story 3 has leaked online, you may watch it below:
TOY STORY 3
Plot:
“Andy is now a young adult, departing for college, and his toys, including Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) are being sent to storage. Andy has a change of heart and decides to keep Woody. Before the rest of the toys can be put in the attic, they are accidentally thrown away and are picked up by the garbage men. The toys find themselves at a local day-care center, where they must try to survive the pre-school children. Woody attempts to save his friends and find themselves a new home.”
The poor toy are in hell: those pre-school children are like little demons! I guess this new opus of the Toy Story movie series will make many people happy. But I hope Disney Pixar won’t abuse of it with a new sequel again. Really, i’ rather watch a brand new story, than an other Toy Story movie… May Toy Story 3 be the last of the series!
:/
I’d be glad to ride that insectoid horse! I guess many people will be attracted by the quixotic beauty of Pandora and will be dreaming about the movie Avatar!

Scott Adkins (who was the stunt double of Ryan Reylnolds as Weapon X aka Deadpool in the movie Wolverine) got the lead role in the upcoming movie Ninja. The film is directed by Isaac Florentine. It seems there is theatrical release in Asia. But I’m afraid it will only have a straight-to-DVD release in the USA…
Here’s the movie trailer of Ninja:
NINJA
Plot:
“A westerner named Casey, studying Ninjutsu in Japan, is asked by the Sensei to return to New York to protect the legendary Yoroi Bitsu, an armored chest that contains the weapons of the last Koga Ninja.”
I definitely want to watch the movie Ninja! Scott Adkins is a real expert in martial arts, and his movie isn’t just smoke and mirrors, but real action!
Thinking, a Gaijin who becomes a ninja master, I should watch American Ninja again!
;-P
One should maybe seize the day from now on. because according to Roland Emmerich’s latest disaster movie, the end of the world will happen in 2012!
Splice
