A first preview clip of Serious Moonlight, the upcoming comedy starring Meg Ryan, Timothy Hutton, Kristen Bell, and Justin Long, has been released:
I guess it’s a lucky burglar!
;-P
Director Ridley Scott wants to make a movie based on Monopoly the famous board game. In an interview given to the LA Times (here), Producer Frank Beddor gave away quite a few details about his Monopoly movie:
He’s all groggy and he goes down to buy some coffee and he reaches into his pocket and all he has is Monopoly money. All this Monopoly money pours out. He’s confused and embarrassed and the girl reaches across the counter and says, ‘That’s OK.’ And she gives him change in Monopoly money. He walks outside and he’s in this very vibrant place, Monopoly City, and he’s just come out of a Chance Shop. As it goes on, he takes on the evil Parker Brothers in the game of Monopoly. He has to defeat them. It tries to incorporate all the iconic imageries — a sports car pulls up, there’s someone on a horse, someone pushing a wheelbarrow — and rich Uncle Pennybags, you’re going to see him as the maître d’ at the restaurant and he’s the buggy driver and the local eccentric and the doorman at the opera. There’s all these sight gags.”
Sounds like one of those movies for kids in which it rains gumballs, like in Bedtime Stories…. Do they really have to make a Monopoly movie?
:/

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.
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…

A new clip of Bad Lieutenant has been released. Because this clip out of context, it just looks like Nicolas Cage is insane:
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:
And we now have the trailer of Crazy Heart:
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:

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…
We probably need to check the full cast to get a broader picture, but one can but wonder about the way the roles were assigned in Avatar…
