A new international movie trailer of Prince of Persia The Sands of Time has been released:

Prince of Persia Trailer

PRINCE OF PERSIA
Plot:
“A rogue prince and a mysterious princess in the mystical lands of Persia race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time – a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.”

I’ve got mixed feeling regarding this movie adaptation of Prince of Persia: on one hand it looks damn good for a live action movie, but on the other hand I’m quite sure it would have been way better if it was all in CGI… Maybe it was too expensive, so they had to resort to real actors… Or they just assumed it would be better with real actors…

Anyway, I’m still quite impatient to watch the movie Prince of Persia.

“English naturalist Charles Darwin, the author of The Origin of the Species, struggles to find a balance between his revolutionary theories on evolution and his relationship with his religious wife, whose faith contradicts his work.”

Here’s the trailer of Creation if you haven’t seen it yet:

Creation
May this movie help at least a few of those religious bigots to understand how stupid creationism is!

By the way, Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly who portray husband and wife in the movie Creation are are actually married in real life.

A few character posters of Clash of the Titans, the upcoming remake movie directed by Louis Leterrier, have shown up online:

Clash of the Titans Trailer

(Click on a poster to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“In the film, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on Earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.”

Those posters of Clash of the Titans are enough to get thrilled! Really glad that Director Louis Leterrier has been given the opportunity to develop his own take. I bet that, as cult as the 1981 movie is, it is gonna be eclipsed by Louis Leterrier’s Clash of the Titans!

Google is celebrating Wallace and Gromit’s 20th birthday, here’s the new doodle for the event:

Wallace and Gromit are the main characters in a series consisting of four British animated short films and a feature-length film by Nick Park of Aardman Animations. All the characters were made from moulded plasticine modelling clay on metal armatures, and filmed with stop motion clay animation.

Here below the trailer of the Wallace and Gromit movie that was released a few years ago:

In case you’re wondering: Gromit is the dog.

A bit less than two months before the official release of Avatar: I can barely wait! I definitely have to go watch this movie in the nearest IMAX theater!

Director Michael Bay is teasing us about Transformers 3 in a secret video on the blu-ray disc of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen:

Transformers 3 Michael Bay

Transformers 3 – Michael Bay
So Michael Bay is half-jokingly telling “lies”:
– Transformers 3 won’t be bigger, it will go sideways…
– Bumbleebe would have more screen time
– Bay would like to develop the robot characters

Actually what he’s saying does sound like something reliable. And it fits with what Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura said earlier about Transformers 3. So don’t expect Unicron in transformers 3, that’s clear.

And i think it’s a good think that Michael Bay wants to balance the franchise in favor of the characters: we love action, but we need more perspective than in the second opus.

Anyway, Transformers 3 is already in pre-production and is tentatively scheduled for a release in July 2011.

I know my son heard about this movie and he was starring at me for at least one hour the other day when I refused to buy him some geeky action figure… Should I be worried?
;-P

Two TV clips of Sherlock Holmes have popped up online:

Robert Downey Jr makes a crazy Sherlock Holmes! But I don’t mind Guy Ritchie’s take on the detective: the character created by Conan Doyle needed to be revamped!

A new trailer of How To Train Your Dragon, the upcoming 3D animated movie produced by Dreamworks, has shown up online:

How To Train Your Dragon Movie Trailer

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
Plot:
“The film is set in a mythical world of vikings and dragons. The story centers around a viking teenager named Hiccup (voiced by 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 is disliked by his tribe and its chief, 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.”

The movie How To Train Your Dragon feels like Kung Fu Panda: it’s a funny character-driven story in which we may discover some quite interesting personalities. I’m quite sure that the movie How To train Your Dragon is gonna be a blockbuster.

Director Mike Newel has been working on Prince of Persia the movie adaptation of the famous game franchise of the name. Here’s the Prince of Persia trailer:

Prince of Persia Movie Trailer

PRINCE OF PERSIA
Plot:
“Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a street urchin in 6th century Persia. After showing valor in battle, he is adopted by the king as his heir, so the king’s two sons will not fight over the throne.[1] He teams up with Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) to rescue the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that controls time, from the hands of the villainous nobleman, Nizam (Ben Kingsley).”

Jake Gyllenhaal looks ab it too clean as Dastan, but I don’t mind anymore after seeing this movie trailer of Prince of Persia The Sands of Time!

Jordan Mechner, the creator of the game, who wrote the script of the film, must be be really happy to see how good the movie Prince of Persia is.

You may watch below a first preview clip of Precious, the upcoming drama movie based on the novel Push by Sapphire:

“In New York City’s Harlem circa 1987, an overweight, abused, illiterate teen who is pregnant with her second child is invited to enroll in an alternative school in hopes that her life can head in a new direction.”
