You may watch below German preview clips of Carriers, the upcoming thriller movie directed by the Pastor brothers and starring Lou Taylor Pucci, Chris Pine (Kirk from Star Trek), Piper Perabo and Emily VanCamp. Those Carriers clips are in German, but Goethe’s language is not crucial to understand those scenes:
Carrier – Better not to swim in there…
Plot:
“Four friends fleeing a viral pandemic soon learn they are more dangerous than any virus.”
Plot:
“A team of mercenaries called the Expendables head to South America on a mission to stop a dictator who has caused destruction for the last 20 years. The government sets to plan the assassination to put an end to the violence.”
Jet Li may look puny compared to Stallone & co, but I’m sure none of them could beat him: only Jackie Chan could do that!
:)
Plot:
“Stargate Universe is about a rather heteroclite team of soldiers and scientist who get trapped aboard the Ancient ship, the Destiny, that was part of an Ancient experiment to seed the galaxies with Stargates millions of years ago but that was prematurely ended by the Ancients’ ascension.
While trying to escape an imminent danger the team activates the ninth and final gate chevron (whose purpose was previously unknown) and get aboard the Destiny. But that’s a one-way trip, without return to Earth… Unable to return to Earth, they must fend for themselves aboard the ship as it takes them to the far reaches of the universe.”
This new Stargate TV series will a bit darker than what we may have been used to with the franchise. But don’t worry: it’s for the best! Because I’m definitely convinced now that this series is the sci-fi weekly fix that we’re all waiting for!

District 9 has been released and the film wasn’t overhyped: it’s definitely a great sci-fi movie, sure to be cult! And if you’re craving for for a movie sequel, then you can help by telling to you friends how great the movie is. Because Director Neill Blomkamp stated indeed that there could be a movie sequel to District 9 if:
“If this film is successful, if audiences want another, whatever, District 10, I would love to do it. It’s a very personal film, and it’s a universe and a place that I find incredibly creative. I’d love to go back to that universe.”
Director Neill Blomkamp
So please, tell your friend about District 9, even go watch it again with you family: let’s make District a real success so Director Neill Blomkamp starts to work on the movie sequel of District 9 as soon as possible!

Some new pictures of Alejandro Amenabar’s Agora, an historical drama starring Rachel Weiz as philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria and Max Minghella as her slave Davus:
Plot:
“In the fourth century, while Egypt was under the Roman Empire, violent religious upheaval in the streets of Alexandria spills over into the city’s famous library. Trapped inside its walls, the brilliant astronomer Hypatia (Rachel Weisz) and her disciples fight to save the wisdom of the ancient world. Among the group are the two men competing for Hypatia’s heart: the witty, privileged Orestes (Oscar Isaac) and Davus (Max Minghella), Hypatia’s young slave, who is torn between his secret love for her and the freedom he knows can be his if he chooses to join the unstoppable surge of the Christians. ”
No CGI there: gorgeous sets were specially built for the movie Agora. I guess Director Alejandro Amenabar had some serious financial support to produce this film.

You may watch below the movie trailer of When In Rome, an upcoming romantic comedy movie directed by Mark Steven Johnson and starring Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Danny DeVito, Jon Heder, Will Arnett and Dax Shepard. The film will be released end of January 2010.
WHEN IN ROME
Plot:
“An ambitious young New Yorker (Kristen Bell), disillusioned with romance, takes a whirlwind trip to Rome where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a ‘foolish’ fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of an odd group of suitors: a sausage magnate (Danny DeVito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett) and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, how will she know if his love is the real thing?”
Not sure that a few coins would be enough for me to forget Kristen Bell’s role in Heroes… Watching this trailer of When In Rome I was almost expecting her to unleash her electric rage! Anyway, I enjoyed the music heard in this trailer, hope the movie soundtrack will be as good.
;-P
Actor Woody Harrelson besides slaying zombies in Zombieland is also starring as a part-time would-be superhero in the upcoming comedy movie Defendor. The film is written and directed by Peter Stebbings.
(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)
Plot:
“Reality intersects with delusion in the mind of Arthur Poppington (Woody Harrelson), a regular man who adopts a superhero persona known as Defendor, and combs the city streets at night in search of his arch-enemy, Captain Industry. In his attempts to combat crime and bring down Captain Industry, a drug and weapons dealer who he mistakenly blames for the death of his mother, Defendor ends up befriending a young prostitute, Katerina Debrofkowitz (Kat Dennings). Armed with unconventional weapons of mass confusion, aided by his new friend, and putting his life on the line, Defendor proves that everyone is capable of making a difference. ”
It sounds a bit like Kick-Ass but I think there will be much more humor in the movie Defendor: can but have a good laugh with Woody Harrelson!
