Check this new banner poster of Jennifer’s Body, if you can stop ogling Megan Fox for a few secs, I recommend to read the board:

“Fox is dangerously hot”, I can’t agree more with that! Come eat me dear Succubus! (er, hope my wife won’t read that…)

Director Robert Luketic has hired Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl for the movie Killers, a thriller comedy set for a release end of June 2010.

Update – the movie trailer of Killers is now available:

KILLERS

Plot:
“A vacationing woman (Katherine Heigl) meets her ideal man (Ashton Kutcher), leading to a swift marriage. The guy is actually a hitman, but he changes job out of love and keeps his past secret from his new wife. Back at home, however, their idyllic life is upset when they discover their neighbors could be assassins who have been contracted to kill the couple.”

One can but think of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s “Mr & Mrs. Smith” at reading the plot of Killers… But I guess it will be quite different with Luketic helming the project: expect the film to be more comedy than thriller.

Here below a first look at Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl in Killers:

I read that Ashton Kutcher trained in Thai boxing and other defence skills to be better fit for his role in the movie Killers. So, handsome, rich, married to a gorgeous woman (Demi moore), one of the most famous on Twitter, and now strong: is there any limit to Ashton Kutcher’s ambition?

If your kid feels like studying to be a scientist, please, for the sake of Mankind, even if you’re a creationist or a Luddite, just encourage your kid to learn as much as possible about science: that kid could become the new Einstein later on!

Iron Man 2’s principal photography wrapped 2 months ago and they’re now working hard on special effects, editing and cutting here and there to deliver the best Iron Man 2 movie possible next year. The promotion will slowly ramp up to prepare us for the final release of Iron Man 2. But meanwhile here’s a new international promo poster of Iron Man 2:

IRON MAN 2

In Iron Man 2, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is kind of depressed: the superhero status isn’t as fun as he thought it would be… He’s not anymore at the center of Pepper Pott’s life (Gwyneth Paltrow) who is now intimate with some Federal agent. And even worse: a new villain, Whiplash, got an armor similar to Iron Man’s! But it won’t be all gloom for Tony: he will get to know the beautiful Black Widow (Scarlett Johannson).

The official movie trailer of Solomon Kane has finally been released:

Solomon Kane
Plot:
“The movie tells the origins of Solomon Kane and is hoped to be the first of a trilogy of movies. When the story opens Kane is a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth I fighting in Africa, but after an encounter with a demon, The Reaper, he realizes he must seek redemption or have his soul damned to Hell. He returns to England and lives a life of peace, converting to puritanism, but soon the doings of an evil sorcerer upset his plans and he must take up arms again.”

I still find hard to get much interested in this movie. I think it comes too late: we already had Van Helsing after all… What do you think after watching this trailer of Solomon Kane?

A few new hi-res pictures of Grant Heslov’s Men Who Stare At Goats have been released, and the picture featuring Jeff Bridges is really worth a look:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Jeff Bridges plays the role of the founder of a military program for developing psychic powers, Bill Django, who has gone missing.

Jeff Bridges looks so different from what we saw in the trailer of Tron Legacy. And actually, I prefer the way he looks in the Men Who Stare at Goats: his new-age outfit. suits him well!

Two astronauts who were in hibernation wake up aboard a spaceship without a clue of who they are or what they’re doing here (and they’ aren’t really alone aboard the spaceship…): that’s the premise of Pandorum, an upcoming sci-fi horor movie directed by Christian Alvart. Watch below two previews clips of Pandorum:

Pandorum – Get the hell out of here!

You’re probably expecting a scary creature to show up after that scene, and you’re right, the following clip of Pandorum gives us a glimpse of the monster: Continue reading »

The next Dreamworks new computer-animated movie is titled How To Train Your Dragon. The film is based on the book of the same name based on the book by Cressida Cowell. It’s a comedy adventure set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons. The movie How To Train Your Dragon will be released on March 26, 2010.

How To Train Your Dragon Trailer

There is already an official site, that evolves as the marketing team get more material and a better understanding of what to sell to the public. First there were focusing on the story:

Now looks like they want to emphasize that the movie will be in 3D:

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.”

I hope that the movie How To Train Your Dragon will be closer to the spirit of Kung Fu Panda than to Shrek…

There is a new Princess and the Frog trailer:

The Princess and the Frog Movie Trailer

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG
Plot:
“Walt Disney Animation Studios presents the musical THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG, an animated comedy set in the great city of New Orleans. From the creators of The Little Mermaid and Aladdin comes a modern twist on a classic tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana (ANIKA NONI ROSE), a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana.”

The Princess and the Frog feels just like Aladdin. Normal, after all the same guys are working on it. Still no way I’d miss a fairytale infused with voodoo that brings us from the jazzy French Quarter of New Orleans to the swamp in the Bayou!

Take a look to this series of pictures of Valhalla Rising, a viking action movie directed by Nicolas Winding Refn:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“Valhalla Rising begins on a desolate coast where the heads of warring clans meet in battle. For years, the most fearsome and successful fighter has been an enigmatic figure known only as One Eye (played by the inestimable Mads Mikkelsen, star of the first two Pusher films, as well as Casino Royale and Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, also playing at the Festival).

Silent and lethal, One Eye has defeated everyone he’s encountered, but he’s treated more like an animal than a warrior. The only person he has any relationship with is the young boy who brings him food and water daily. Constantly caged and shackled, One Eye has drawn the attention of a new force now sweeping the countryside and displacing the society’s leaders: Christians.

Determined to claim territory for his faith, the leader of a band of Christians sets sail on an ill-fated odyssey to the Holy Land with One Eye and the young boy in tow. Referencing masters like Akira Kurosawa and Sergio Leone with a touch of Andrei Tarkovsky thrown in for good measure, Valhalla Rising shows how carnage, once invoked, has no fealty but to itself. Little separates the Christians from their pagan predecessors – they’re just as bellicose and bloodthirsty.”

So may argue, but I really think the world is getting better. Our uninhibited ancestors were nasty savages. The myth of a lost Golden Age of peace is just a fallacious creation. Peace isn’t in the past, but ahead of us. We’re no angels yet: our wars may have a larger scale than before, but there is less savagery and there is a world consensus that favor peace. Maybe one day, we’ll get rid of that violence, I’m a bit afraid though that lawyers would then rule the world…
