A new Death Race movie is in development. But Death Race 2 isn’t a sequel to the film starring Jason Statham, it’s actually a movie prequel to Death Race! The film, titled Death Race Frankenstein Lives, is based on a script written by Tony Giglio. It seems director Paul W.S. Anderson won’t be returning to helm the film, but he is still on board as producer.

DEATH RACE 2

Thanks to a casting call sheet we have more details about Death Race 2, aka Death Race Frankenstein Lives:

Plot:
“Newly arrived at Terminal Island, a prison for the most nonredeemable of convicts, CARL ‘LUKE’ LUCAS must prove his mettle in a race to the death…”

[CARL “LUKE” LUCAS]
In his 20s-30, handsome and confident, with a hint of danger, Lucas has been in trouble since the age of 12. Right-hand man to a notorious mobster for twelve years, he is sent away for life
after killing a cop in the course of robbing a bank. Offered a deal by the DA if he turns state’s evidence, Lucas opts to take his chances behind bars, where he soon captures the attention of a violence-peddling television producer. Possessed of some serious driving skills, assertive, strong, and charismatic, Lucas is a natural fit for the ultimate test, aka, the “Death Race.”..

[SEPTEMBER JONES]
In her 20s – early 30s, a model turned journalist, September is is “insatiably ambitious and eye-poppingly gorgeous,” a woman who knows how to use what she’s got to get what she wants. She’s callous and self-serving, dressed provocatively, with the soul of an ice-pick, but the brains to know how to market violence to the masses. When ratings for her gladiator-style television show begin plummeting, September is quick to come up with the “Death Race” concept, thrilled by its stunning success.

[ELIZABETH JAYNE CASE]
In her 20s – early 30s, and sexy, she is a card girl for the fight matches, later a navigator when the prisoners are forced to test their driving skills. Intelligent (valedictorian of her high school class), decent, with a good heart, Case landed in prison after killing her abusive cop husband. Quick to come to the aide of girl in peril or help Lucas outwit an adversary, she’s a courageous, admirable young woman. Teamed with Lucas for a death race, the chemistry soon heats up between the two…

[DOUGLAS WEYLAND]
In his 30s – 60, bold, opulent and self-indulgent, the CEO and Founder of the Weyland Corporation, he is a opportunist at best, a man who makes millions on the backs of others. Clearly not immune to September’s come-hither charm, he agrees to produce a televised gladiator-style series of fighting matches, later disappointed by the ratings. However, he’s quite impressed when September’s idea for a race to the death has the viewers tuning in again…

Filming of the movie Death Race 2, aka Death Race Frankenstein Lives, is scheduled to start end of February 2010.

Because it’s a prequel, Jason Statham is unlikely to be involved in this new Death Race movie… So I’m not that much impatient to watch Death Race Frankenstein Lives…

An official poster has been unveiled for Leap Year, an upcoming romantic comedy movie starring Amy Adams, Matthew Goode, Adam Scott and John Lithgow:

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“An uptight woman travels to Dublin to propose to her boyfriend on February 29th – the only day, according to Irish tradition, where a woman can invite a man to marry. When the crazy and unpredictable Irish weather thwarts her mission she enlists the help of a surly inn-keeper to help her on her way.”

With such a green poster they should wait to release this movie on Saint Patrick’s Day!

Anyway here’s the trailer of Leap Year if you haven’t seen it yet: Continue reading »

A new clip of Bad Lieutenant has been released. Because this clip out of context, it just looks like Nicolas Cage is insane:

Bad Lieutenant – Nicolas Cage vs Old Ladies
But this scene is more than likely to make you laugh if you watch the whole movie. Still, please show more respect to elders than Nicolas Cage does in this clip of Bad Lieutenant!

Jeff Bridges got the lead role in Crazy Heart, an upcoming drama movie directed by Scott Cooper and based on the novel by Thomas Cobb. The film is starring Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal (she’s the older sister of actor Jake Gyllenhaal), Colin Farrell, and Robert Duvall. It is set for a release on December 16, 2009.

Here below the first official movie poster of Crazy Heart:

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

And we now have the trailer of Crazy Heart:

CRAZY HEART
Plot:
“Bad Blake (Jeff Bridges) is an emotionally-crippled, alcoholic country music singer, with one too many failed marriages under his belt. Enter Jean Craddock (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a young journalist who begins to see the man behind the musician and helps Bad get his life back on track. In doing so, Bad also becomes the mentor to a contemporary country star, Tommy Sweet (Colin Farrell), while simultaneously struggling in the rising young crooner’s shadow.”

I prefer Jeff Bridges as a crazy new-age military instructor (like in Men Who Stare At Goats) rather than an old singer, but I’m sure his performance in Crazy Heart will make the film worth watching.
:)

Here below two official posters of Extraordinary Measures, the upcoming drama movie starring Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford:

In Extraordinary Measures, John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) teams up with an unconventional researcher in order to find a cure for his two children’s rare genetic disorder.

A series of short clips in which the actors introduce the characters they’re playing in James Cameron’s Avatar have been released. And I start wondering about something: in Avatar it seems most humans are played by white people and there are only black people and Native people playing as aliens (as the Na’vi from the planet Pandora)? Check for yourself:

Update: following this post (?), those official videos have been tagged as private by Fox in their youtube account…

A new poster of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was unveiled a week ago:

Lily Cole looks so sweet: she’s the best reason to go watch the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus!

Take a look this new international poster of Everybody’s Fine, an upcoming family comedy movie directed by Kirk Jones and starring Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell and Lucian Maisel:

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“Everybody’s Fine, a remake of Giuseppe Tornatore’s ‘Stanno Tutti Bene’, follows a widower (Robert De Niro) who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect. At the heart of Everybody’s Fine is the theme of family and physical and emotional distances traveled to bring the members back together.”

And Here’s the trailer of Everybody’s fine if you haven’t seen it yet:

Everybody’s Fine
Yep, wine that’s not for children, even the expensive kind!

A new trailer of The Lovely Bones, the upcoming drama movie directed by Peter Jackson and based on Alice Sebold’s book of the same name, has shown up online. It’s a shorter cut of the Lovely Bones trailer previously released:

THE LOVELY BONES
Plot:
“The story centers on a young girl who is murdered but continues to observe her family on Earth after her death. She witnesses the impact of her demise on her loved ones, while her killer skillfully covers his tracks and prepares to murder again.”

The Lovely Bones movie is going to make me cry: it’s a really sad story magnified by Saoirse Ronan’s performance! She’s is a great actress, young but with a real talent!

According to Milla Jovovich who plays the role of zombie slayer Alice in the Resident Evil movie series, the movie trailer of Resident Evil 4 will be released in January 2010:

Resident Evil 4 Trailer

RESIDENT EVIL 4 AFTERLIFE

“We started filming on sept. 25 and we wrap around the middle of dec. There will b a teaser trailer in theaters in jan. Is what I just heard.”

Milla Jovovich (via Twitter)

Plot:
“In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, ALICE (Milla Jovovich), continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend. A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead leads them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is overrun by thousands of Undead and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap.”

I hope Milla Jovovich is right and that we will have a Resident Evil 4 trailer in January 2010: the sooner the better!

The movie Resident Evil 4, aka Resident Evil Afterlife, will be released on August 27, 2010.
