Plot:
The story of an archer (Russell Crowe) in the army of Richard Coeur de Lion who fights against the Norman invaders and becomes the legendary hero known as Robin Hood.”

Russell Crowe holding his bow may not look as badass as Sylvester Stallone as Rambo, but his arrow would be as deadly!

Actor Denis Quaid got the lead role in Pandorum, an upcoming sci-fi horror movie directed by Christian Alvart. Take a look to those new pictures of Pandorum:

Pandorum Trailer

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“Two astronauts wake to find themselves drifting through space and with no memory of who they are. They believe that they must be the only ones aboard the spacecraft, but can hear sounds coming from its center. Exploring the spacecraft, they encounter several other surviving crewmembers, and the astronauts start to learn that a terrible event has occurred on board which might affect the survival of the entire human race.”

Denis Quaid must be a Star Trek fan: on that Pandorum picture above, he looks like William Shatner’s Kirk on the bridge of the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise!

The second Halloween movie did not meet expectations… Here’s Mike Myers’ answer to those who were disappointed by the film and who bad-mouthed it:

He’s quite pissed off, so in 2010, with the movie Halloween 3, he’s gonna slash us all in 3D as a revenge!
