We just learned via Shock Till You Drop that Resident Evil 4, aka Resident Evil Afterlife, has been postponed from August 21, 2010 to January 14, 2011! Yep, it’s a sad day… But for once, they have a good reason to delay the film: it’s because they need more time for post production and for special effects. So it’s not just to drive the RE fan crazy.

The new release date of Resident Evil 4 isn’t so far ahead, we’re ‘just’ a year from it…

Back in March Vin Diesel talk to SciFi Wire about a possible Riddick 3 movie:

“We’re going to find Riddick alone for the first part of the movie, barely alive, surrounded by carnivorous monsters who are trying to eat him. So you’ll see a futuristic Rambo-esque Riddick trying to survive.
[…]
David Twohy is scripting the next installment of Riddick as we speak, and it’s underway. The story will return to a Pitch Black [sensibility] while servicing the mythology that’s been enhanced in Chronicles of Riddick.”

Actor Vin Diesel

Well the project seems on a good track according to those tidbits that Vin Diesel shared on his facebook page:

“The Riddick script is completed… great job DT.” (November 7, 2009)

“The Riddick team is in New Zealand location scouting already… that’s exciting.” (December 1, 2009)

“P.s. The Riddick team has returned from New Zealand, and from the images, it’s no wonder why DT loved it… it’s like a director’s paradise.” (December 6, 2009)

Actor Vin Diesel

I still wonder why Riddick would have left the Necromonger throne he won in Riddick 2. But I’m kind of happy to know that the franchise goes back to its roots and that Riddick hasn’t become fat king giving orders to his soldiers.

I wait with impatience for the movie Riddick 3!

Take a look to this new poster of Solomon Kane:

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“A mercenary who owes his soul to the devil redeems himself by fighting evil.”

They kind of oversell the film with those posters of Solomon Kane… I mean James Purefoy who’s got the lead role does not look as badass in the movie…
:/

Entertainment Tonight had the chance to talk to Jennifer Lopez and Alex O’Loughlin when filming of the Back-up Plan wasn’t wrapped yet, just a few months ago. Here’s the interview of Jennifer Lopez on the set of the Back-up Plan, Alex O’Loughlin shows up too:

Back-up Plan – On the set with Jennifer Lopez and Alex O’Loughlin
Plot
“A romantic comedy centered on Zoe (Jennifer Lopez), a woman who conceives twins through artificial insemination, only to meet Stan (Alex O’Loughlin), the man of her dreams, on the very same day.”

J Lo looks like a damn lovely young mother! Her own experience as mother must positively influence her performance in the Back-up Plan. This will probably be a romantic comedy worth watching!
:)

Looks like the current season of Smallville won’t be the last one. According to Allison Mack, who plays the role of Clark Kent’s best friend Chloe Sullivan, has kind of confirmed that Smallville Season 10 will air one day:

Smallville Season 10 Trailer

“The latest with ‘Smallville’ is there might be another season after season 9 . Tom Welling has signed for season 9 and for a season 10, so the show will go until season 10 (It Might). I will be completed with my contract next year, and I am looking for new and exciting ways to carry out my character’s exit. I love living in Vancouver, it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I love the people, the food, the aesthetic, and the life I have built here. It’s wonderful.”

Actress Allison Mack

Well that’s rather good news! The season 9 is way better than the previous seasons so I’d be quite happy if they were delaying the final end of the TV series. If Smallville Season 10 really happens, I hope that we’ll be treated with the revelation of the real Superman at the end. I mean I want Clark Kent to wear his glasses while at the daily planet (we did see them once in season 9) and I want him to wear his Superman outfit when he goes fight against the crime in Metropolis, and last but not least Clark Kent must definitely learn to fly! Then he would become the real Superman!

Let’s hope that CW will greenlight Smallville Season 10!

Take a look to the latest poster of ‘From Paris with Love’, the upcoming action movie directed by Pierre Morel and written by Luc Besson and Adi Hasak:

From Paris With Love Trailer

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

FROM PARIS WITH LOVE

From the director of Taken

Two Agents, one city, no merci.

The tagline of this poster of ‘From Paris With Love’ is a pun on the French word ‘merci’ (which means thank you) and the word mercy.

A first preview clip of It’s Complicated, the upcoming romantic comedy starring Alec Baldwin, Meryl Streep and Steve Martin, is available:

It’s Complicated – Feeling Groovy
Jane (Meryl Streep) and Adam (Steve Martin) have fun at a party until her ex-husband Jake (Alec Baldwin) arrives.

Meryl Streep is still somewhat beautiful for her age.
;-P

Megamind is the new title of Dreamwork’s Oobermind (which was also previously titled Master Mind). I guess Megamind is more marketable even if less creative… Anyway, Megamind still sounds good to me. The story revolves around a supervillain who unwillingly becomes the new acclaimed hero.

MEGAMIND

Megamind Trailer

Here’s a first look at Megamind (Will Ferrell) and Metro Man (Brad Pitt):
(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)
Plot:
“When super villain Megamind (Will Ferrell) defeats his archrival Metro Man (Brad Pitt), the world should be his oyster. But instead, Megamind 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 Megamind sets out to stop him, beginning a path to redemption in the process.”

The movie Megamind is directed by Tom McGrath and it can boast the voices of Will Ferrell, Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Tina Fey. The release date of Megamind is set for November 5, 2010.

We got our hands on a series of preview clips of Alvin and the Chipmunks 2, aka Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakquel. The first two clips are definitely worth watching:

Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 – Secret Weapon
Alvin is becomes a key player in the football team.

Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 – Locker Reveal
Alvin and the Chipmunks meet the Chipettes near their lockers.

Plot:
“Because of a freak accident involving Alvin and Dave Seville, they go to live with Dave Seville’s cool cousin Toby and must enroll in school just like every other kid. School presents new challenges to these rock stars, like dealing with peer pressure, school sports and of course, girls!
By ‘girls’ we mean the Chipettes who are managed by Ian Hawke, the Chipmunks greedy former manager who wants to turn them into the next big thing. At the outset, there is a rivalry between the Chipettes and the Chipmunks but in the end they realize that they make great friends and a great musical team!”

This sequel to Alvin and the Chipmunks is going to be damn good! I wasn’t really fan of those squirrels until I see those two clips. Now, I’m completely hooked. And my kids won’t have to ask me twice to go watch Alvin and the Chipmunks 2!

Three more Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 clips below: Continue reading »

Update -Taylor Lautner is no more attached to the project.

Paramount is planning the release of a movie adaptation of Max Steel, the toy line and animated series. And it’s been announced that Taylor Lautner (who plays as Jacob in the Twilight Saga) will have the lead role as Max Steel. The movie Max Steel will likely be released in 2011.

Plot:
“A 19-year-old extreme-sports athlete has been accidentally exposed to the unleashed power of nanotechological machines, which became part of him and gave him increased strength, near-invulnerability and the ability to change his appearance. The young man now fights the enemies of peace as a super-powered secret agent.”

Some may think that Paramount just want to profit from Taylor Lautner’s celebrity to reach a wide public. Well, that’s true. But should rather see the movie Max Steel as a new reward for Taylor Lautner following his impressive efforts to bulk up for New Moon! And there is no denying that Taylor Lautner is damn fit for the role of Mad Max!

Hesher is an upcoming drama movie directed by Spencer Susser and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Natalie Portman and Rain Wilson. The film will premiere at the Sundance festival and will be released in 2010.

Update: here’s a first preview trailer of Hesher

HESHER

Here below the first official pictures of Hesher:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“T.J, a 13 year old boy and his Father, both devastated by the tragic loss of the Mother/Wife, are now living with the elderly Grandma. On his way to school one day, T.J has a chance encounter with Hesher, a late 20’s year old with a troubled past. Hesher assumes a role as both mentor and tormentor, leading T.J into troubles he could never have imagined. Nicole, a young grocery clerk trying to make ends meet steps in to protect T.J from a vicious attack, T.J becomes enamored with Nicole, only to have his fantasies destroyed by Hesher. Hesher moves into Grandma’s home, although uninvited, he is somehow accepted.”

I can definitely imagine Joseph Gordon-Levitt in this role: his performance is going to be outstanding, I’m sure of it! Hope that the movie Hesher will get a wide release so I can see it!
