Zac Efron looks like a cherub on this poster of Me and Orson Welles.

Take a look to the official movie poster of Edge of Darkness, an upcoming thriller movie directed by Martin Campbell and starring Mel Gibson:

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“As homicide detective Thomas Craven investigates the death of his activist daughter, he uncovers not only her secret life, but a corporate cover-up and government collusion that attracts an agent tasked with cleaning up the evidence.”

When I see Mel Gibson playing the role of a cop, I cant but think of Lethal Weapon. Unfortunately the movie Edge of Darkness is unlikely to make me laugh…
:(

Here’s the latest international trailer of Amelia, the upcoming biopic directed by Mira Nair:

AMELIA
Plot:
“Hilary Swank as Amelia Earhart, the legendary aviatrix and enigmatic symbol of the American free spirit, who was guided by a profound curiosity for everything life had to offer. Earhart’s early aviation triumphs and meteoric rise to fame and fortune were propelled along by her tempestuous partnership and eventual marriage to publisher George Putnam (Richard Gere). Bound by mutual ambition, admiration and, ultimately a great love, their bond could not be broken even with her brief passionate affair with Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor). Ms. Earhart was the first woman to solo the Atlantic and was the first pilot, man or woman, to fly unaccompanied across the Pacific. In Amelia’s attempt to be the first to fly around the world in an equatorial flight her life was tragically cut short with her mysterious and untimely disappearance over the South Pacific in 1937.”

Hilary Swank makes a pretty Amelia but I wonder if she attended a pilot school to really prepare for her role.
:?

Forget about vampires and werewolves because Scott Stewart’s badass Angels look way better. Just take a look to those character posters of Legion:

Plot:
“The story follows what happens when God loses faith in humanity and sends his legion of angels to wipe out the human race for the second time. Mankind’s only hope lies in a group of misfits holed up in a diner in the desert who are aided by the archangel Michael”

If God is trying to wipe out Mankind, does Mankind have to embrace atheism to kill God?

Jackie Chan got the lead role in the Spy Next Door, an upcoming action comedy movie directed by Brian Levant. Along Jackie Chan, the film is also starring Billy Ray Cyrus, George Lopez, Magnus Scheving, Lucas Till and Amber Valletta. Here’s the first official movie trailer of the Spy Next Door:

SPY NEXT DOOR
Plot:
“While babysitting his neighbor’s children, a mild-mannered man (Jackie Chan) winds up having to fight off secret agents after one of the kids inadvertently downloads a secret code.”

I’m fan of Jackie Chan and can’t have enough, even his dumb jokes make laugh! Must be because of his funny friendly face. The Spy Next Door movie will be released on January 15, 2010.
:)

A beautiful poster has been released for Terry Gilliam’s Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus:

The pretty girl on this poster is Lily Cole who plays the role of Valentina, Doctor Parnassus’s daughter.

Take a look to the first official poster of Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief, the upcoming fantasy movie based on Rick Riordan’s novels:

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

PERCY JACKSON
THE LIGHTNING THIEF

Some heroes are made and some are born of the Gods.

Plot:
“A young boy named Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) discovers that he is the half-human son of the Greek god, Poseidon (Kevin McKidd), and embarks on a journey across modern-day America to save his mother (Catherine Keener), return Zeus’ (Sean Bean) stolen lightning bolt, and prevent a war between the gods.”

I don’t disdain this movie but I’d rather watch a movie adaptation of Dan Simmons’ Illium/Olympos (–>learn more about Simmon’s book)!

Percy Jackson that’s for Kids. Illium/Olympos that’s for everybody!
;-)

We got our hands on a series of pictures of Splice,, the upcoming sci-fi movie produced by Guillermo del Toro, directed by Vincenzo Natali and starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“Elsa and Clive are two young rebellious scientists who defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named Dren, the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators – only to have that bond turn deadly.”

I wonder what animal DNA is used to create that chimera… Because of the tail and the shape of her feet I’d say the DNA is coming from a reptile. Any guess?
:)

An official movie trailer of Serious Moonlight has been released by Magnolia Pictures. Serious Moonlight is a love/hate comedy directed by Cheryl Hines and starring Meg Ryan, Timothy Hutton, Kristen Bell, and Justin Long.

Serious Moonlight
Plot:
“A dark comedy about a high-powered attorney who discovers that her husband is leaving her for another younger woman and duct tapes him to the toilet to talk right before their home is invaded by burglars.”

Time isn’t nice to Meg Ryan… She’s really getting old. I can’t blame Timothy Hutton for looking for a younger partner! Even the electric Kristen Bell is better!

Anyway, the movie Serious Moonlight will be released on December 4, 2009
;-P

A few more posters of Law Abiding Citizen, the action thriller movie opposing Gerard Butler to Jamie Foxx:

Who is your favorite actor between those two? Jamie Foxx or Gerard Butler?

Geroge Clooney is so handsome that even Goats can’t resist him in the upcoming movie Men Who Stare At Goats. Here’s a new TV spot:

Men Who Stare At Goats TV Spot

Plot:
“A reporter in Iraq might just have the story of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady, a guy who claims to be a former member of the U.S. Army’s First Earth Battalion, a unit that employs paranormal powers in their missions.”

I’ve been staring at my neighbor’s dog since a while, but that damned mutt is still barking and alive!

I think Dreamworks go a real blockbuster with the 3D animated movie How to Train your Dragon. The film looks to be close to an ideal mix of 3D animation, voice acting, plot and humor. Just check for yourself with this amazing bootleg clip of How to Train Your Dragon that was shown at IDF 2009 and just leaked online:

Plot:
“From the studio that brought you Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda comes How to Train Your Dragon—a comedy adventure set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, based on the book by Cressida Cowell. The story centers around a scrawny Viking teenager named Hiccup (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 don’t sit too well with his tribe or its chief…who just happens to be 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, and what started out as Hiccup’s one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.”

To create such vivid characters in 3D is no easy task. Dreamworks work hard for the dream to come true. And Lincoln Wallen, head of research and development at Dreamworks, confirms that it requires a lot of computer power:

“Our teams (Dreamwork’s and Intel’s) have been working together for about a year. It’s been a pretty intense collaboration. We talk about Shrek’s Law, a way of communicating that with each iteration of the Shrek franchise, the power required to meet our creative appetite doubles. There was a dragon in Shrek 1, but in our next movie, dragons are some of the main story characters. Some scenes have more than 1,000 dragons performing at the same time. Our creatives want them to be central characters, able to emote and bond with other characters. The complexity of animation is astounding. We need four times the animation controls.”

A thousand dragons on screen at the same time, and the whole thing in 3D: sign me up for the movie How To Train Your Dragon!
