A few new hi-res pictures of Grant Heslov’s Men Who Stare At Goats have been released, and the picture featuring Jeff Bridges is really worth a look:

Jeff Bridges plays the role of the founder of a military program for developing psychic powers, Bill Django, who has gone missing.

Jeff Bridges looks so different from what we saw in the trailer of Tron Legacy. And actually, I prefer the way he looks in the Men Who Stare at Goats: his new-age outfit. suits him well!

Two astronauts who were in hibernation wake up aboard a spaceship without a clue of who they are or what they’re doing here (and they’ aren’t really alone aboard the spaceship…): that’s the premise of Pandorum, an upcoming sci-fi horor movie directed by Christian Alvart. Watch below two previews clips of Pandorum:

Pandorum Preview Clip

Pandorum – Get the hell out of here!

You’re probably expecting a scary creature to show up after that scene, and you’re right, the following clip of Pandorum gives us a glimpse of the monster: Continue reading »

The next Dreamworks new computer-animated movie is titled How To Train Your Dragon. The film is based on the book of the same name based on the book by Cressida Cowell.

How To Train Your Dragon Trailer

There is already an official site, that evolves as the marketing team get more material and a better understanding of what to sell to the public. First there were focusing on the story:

Now looks like they want to emphasize that the movie will be in 3D:

Plot:
“From the studio that brought you Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda comes How to Train Your Dragon—a comedy adventure set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, based on the book by Cressida Cowell. The story centers around a scrawny Viking teenager named Hiccup (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 don’t sit too well with his tribe or its chief…who just happens to be 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, and what started out as Hiccup’s one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.”

I hope that the movie How To Train Your Dragon will be closer to the spirit of Kung Fu Panda than to Shrek…

The movie trailer of Up in the Air has been released, you may watch it below:

Up in the Air Trailer
Movie Plot:
“Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) is a corporate downsizing expert whose cherished life on the road is threatened just as he is on the cusp of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles and just after he’s met the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams (Anna Kendrick).”

Up in the Air is an upcoming romantic drama comedy movie written and directed by Oscar nominated director Jason Reitman based on Walter Kirn’s novel of the same name. The film is starring George Clooney, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, Jason Bateman, Tamala Jones and Chris Lowell. It will be released on December 4, 2009.

There is a new Princess and the Frog trailer:

The Princess and the Frog Movie Trailer

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG
Plot:
“Walt Disney Animation Studios presents the musical THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG, an animated comedy set in the great city of New Orleans. From the creators of The Little Mermaid and Aladdin comes a modern twist on a classic tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana (ANIKA NONI ROSE), a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana.”

The Princess and the Frog feels just like Aladdin. Normal, after all the same guys are working on it. Still no way I’d miss a fairytale infused with voodoo that brings us from the jazzy French Quarter of New Orleans to the swamp in the Bayou!
:)

Take a look to this series of pictures of Valhalla Rising, a viking action movie directed by Nicolas Winding Refn:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“Valhalla Rising begins on a desolate coast where the heads of warring clans meet in battle. For years, the most fearsome and successful fighter has been an enigmatic figure known only as One Eye (played by the inestimable Mads Mikkelsen, star of the first two Pusher films, as well as Casino Royale and Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, also playing at the Festival).

Silent and lethal, One Eye has defeated everyone he’s encountered, but he’s treated more like an animal than a warrior. The only person he has any relationship with is the young boy who brings him food and water daily. Constantly caged and shackled, One Eye has drawn the attention of a new force now sweeping the countryside and displacing the society’s leaders: Christians.

Determined to claim territory for his faith, the leader of a band of Christians sets sail on an ill-fated odyssey to the Holy Land with One Eye and the young boy in tow. Referencing masters like Akira Kurosawa and Sergio Leone with a touch of Andrei Tarkovsky thrown in for good measure, Valhalla Rising shows how carnage, once invoked, has no fealty but to itself. Little separates the Christians from their pagan predecessors – they’re just as bellicose and bloodthirsty.”

So may argue, but I really think the world is getting better. Our uninhibited ancestors were nasty savages. The myth of a lost Golden Age of peace is just a fallacious creation. Peace isn’t in the past, but ahead of us. We’re no angels yet: our wars may have a larger scale than before, but there is less savagery and there is a world consensus that favor peace. Maybe one day, we’ll get rid of that violence, I’m a bit afraid though that lawyers would then rule the world…
;-p

Let’s watch the first TV spot of Jennifer’s Body, the upcoming horror comedy starring Megan Fox:

Who would let Megan Fox alone! It serves them right if she eats them!

Here’s a new picture of the Invention of Lying:

Ricky Gervais is gonna own the world because he’s just invented the concept of lying!
:)

Here below a first official picture of Law Abiding Citizen, an upcoming thriller movie directed by F. Gary Gray and starring Gerard Butler, Jamie Foxx:

The story of Law Abiding Citizen isn’t much original, but with Gerard Butler in the lead role I can but give it a try!
:)

It’s gonna be Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs over the Statue of Liberty:

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“A scientist trying to solve world hunger encounters a problem of global proportions, as food begins to fall from the sky.”

Could we have corn flakes and milk instead of spaghetti and meatballs?
:)

A first preview clip of Up in the Air, the upcoming comedy drama movie directed by Jason Reitman and starring George Clooney, is available online:

Ryan Bingham (George ClooneY) meets Alex (Vera Farmiga), the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams, for the first time
Plot:
“George Clooney plays Ryan Bingham, a 35 year old a career transition counselor at a Denver-based management consulting company, Integrated Strategic Management (ISM). Ryan travels around the country to terminate corporate employees. He does not have a personal life and he numbs himself with sex, booze and drugs. His life on the road comes to a halt when his company downsizes its travel budget. He is required to spend more time at home just as he is on the cusp of a goal he’s worked toward for years: reaching five million frequent flyer miles and just after he’s met the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams.”

George Clooney is a damn charming actor. Even when like in the movie Up in the Air he plays a not-so-friendly character!

The corporate world is a source of inspiration for Hollywood. We already had the Extract, The Informant will be released soon and we’ll get to see the movie Up in the Air quite soon.
