I wish I had gill like Kevin Costner in Waterworld when the final flood happens: it would be damn handy to survive 2012!

New promo pictures of the Volturi in Twilight 2, aka Twilight New Moon have been released. Take a look below:

New Moon Movie

I’m a bit disappointed by Michael Sheen’s Aro: he looks like some a mix between a priest and a corporate guy… On the other hand I’m damn impressed by Cameron Bright as Alec and Dakota Fanning as Jane, those two make great Volturi twins!

A new featurette introducing the Volturi:

Actor George Clooney may well have psychic powers in the movie Men Who Stare At Goats! Watch the trailer of Men Who Stare At Goats below:

Men who stare at Goats Movie Trailer

MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS

Inspired by the top secret true story.

This November comes a story so unbelievable it has to be true!

Plot:
“tells the true (albeit somewhat bizarre) story about a top secret unit within the American military whose purpose is to develop mind-control powers for ‘psychic spying’. The film follows a reporter, Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor), who stumbles into the story of a lifetime when he meets a special forces agent, Lyn Cassady (George Clooney). As they embark on a new mission, Lyn reveals his twenty-year involvement in this top secret, psychic military unit and shares details of their activities, each more bizarre than the last (including staring at goats in order to kill them telepathically).”

The movie Men Who Stare at Goats is directed by Grant Heslov and is starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges. It’s gonna be a hell of a comedy movie!

I would not stare at that goat: I’d rather sacrifice the animal right away and transform its delicious meat into tasty goat kebabs!

Some good news for the fans of Captain Jack Sparrow and of the Pirates of the Caribbean: it’s been announced that Pirates of the Caribbean would be released in 2011 instead of 2012!

Pirates of the Caribbean 4

“We’re going to shoot Pirates 4 in April and May of next year. We are going to release it hopefully in 2011. Pirates 4 would hopefully be the first of another trilogy.”

Walt Disney’s Head of Production Oren Aviv

Not sure that Director Gore Verbinski will return to helm this fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie: I guess there’s money talk behind this, or some other schedule conflict.

There was a strong rumor about the Fountain of Youth being central in the plot of Pirates of the Caribbean 4: well it’s indeed likely to be that! Hollywood Elsewhere got confirmation from one their secret-but-reliable sources. There is also mention of a kind of Captain Nemo utilizing new-style technology who would be the new villain in this new opus of Pirates of the Caribbean 4.

No more more whinning from Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom who left the boat, but fortunately Johnny Depp will be back as Jack Sparrow, and Geoffrey Rush is also probably reprising his role as Captain Barbossa.

So impatient to watch the movie Pirates of the Caribbean 4!

Watch below a new international trailer of Zombieland starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg:

Zombieland International Trailer

I’m laughing out loud with this new trailer of Zombieland especially because of the scene with Jesse Eisenberg who’s hitchhiking.

There is a new xXx movie ahead of us: Columbia Pictures has indeed hired Ericson Core to direct this new xXx movie sequel. It will be titled xXx The Return of Xander Cage, aka xXx 3. Fortunately Vin Diesel will reprise his role as Xander Cage: he is the only xXx agent

xXx 3 Trailer

Plot:
“Xander Cage return to the National Security Agency after an eight-year absence.”

To be honest, I don’t really remember what the first xXx movie was about, I barely remember Diesel messing up with some Russian mafia: for me, xXx was a movie I enjoyed, but forgot quite fast. And I didn’t watch the second opus because it wasn’t starring Vin Diesel (he was replaced by Ice Cube).

But knowing that Vin Diesel will be back in the movie xXx 3 kind of rekindles my interest in the franchise.

The movie xXx The Return of Xander Cage, aka xXx 3, should be released in Summer 2010.

If like me you don’t really remember what Triple X is about, watch the movie trailer of the first xXx film below: Continue reading »

A few pictures from the dull life of ‘A Serious Man’, the upcoming dark comedy directed by the Cohen Brothers:

Juts watching at their old-fashion clothes hurt my eyes! I don’t really feel like buying a theater ticket for this film… I’d rather wait to watch it on TV…
;-P

Here’s a new picture of the Book of Eli, the upcoming post-apocalyptic directed by the Hughes brother:

Those two new movie posters of Astro Boy, the feature film produced by Imagi, look quite good:

(Click on a poster to enlarge it.)

This Astro Boy movie is rather faithful to the original manga. But I actually yearn for a darker version of Astro Boy… That little robot could do so much more if he wasn’t so starry eyed!
:/

Inception is the new sci-fi movie directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role. A trailer of Inception is shown in front of Inglourious Basterds in a few selected theaters. And out of chance, I just spotted a bootleg movie trailer of Inception that leaked online a few minutes ago:

Update: here’s the new full-length trailer of Inception:

INCEPTION TRAILER

Your mind is the scene of the crime.

Plot:
“A CEO-type becomes involved in a blackmailing scandal.”

Cast:
– Leonardo DiCaprio as Jacob, the lead, a CEO-type
– Marion Cotillard as Jacob’s wife
– Ellen Page as a young college grad student named Ariadne, who is also Jacob’s sidekick
– Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Arthur, an associate working for Jacob
– Ken Watanabe as Saito, the film’s villain, he is blackmailing Jacob
– Tom Hardy as Eames, a member of Jacob’s team.
– Cillian Murphy as Fischer

There is a lot of secrecy around the movie Inception. Hope that more material will be release soon. But anyway, I’m already hooked by the mystery of Christoper Nolan’s Inception movie!

Thanks to Cartoon Brew we may take a look to a new behind-the-scenes clip of The Princess and the Frog. The featurette introduces us to Dr. Facilier, the villain of this new Disney movie:

The Princess and the Frog

There is no denying Keith David is bringing a lot to his character! His voice makes Dr. Facilier look so real! And I start to think that the most interesting character won’t be Tiana the princess or the Frog, but rather this mean Dr. Facilier! He’s got style!

They really care for details at Disney: an animated movie, it’s more than just animation, voices account for a lot indeed! I’m now confident that The Princess and the Frog will be a great movie.

The first-person shooter video game BioShock seems closer to get a movie adaptation. A year ago, Director Gore Verbinski was announced to helm the project, but it was then put on hold by the studio because of an excessive budget. But the buzz around the Bioshock movie is now reigniting: according to the rumor Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) seems likely to take over the project.

Plot:
“A plane-crash survivor discovers an underwater utopia of sinister origins.”

IMDB is still listing the movie Bioshock for a release in 2010. But it will more likely be released in 2011 I think.
