Gamer is an upcoming badass sci-fi action movie in which Gerard Butler has to play a dangerous game to recover his freedom. Take a below look to this new series of Hi-Res pics of Gamer:

Gamer Trailer

Plot:
“GAMER is a high-concept action thriller set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people…for keeps. Mind-control technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). His latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game ‘Slayers’, allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they fight to the death.

Kable (300’s Gerard Butler) is the superstar and cult hero of the ultraviolent ‘Slayers’. Kable is controlled by Simon, a young gamer with rock star status who continues to defy all odds by guiding Kable to victory each week. Taken from his family, imprisoned and forced to fight against his will, the modern day gladiator must survive long enough to escape the game to free his family, regain his identity and to save mankind from Castle’s ruthless technology.”

No technology is evil in itself: a technology to control minds like in the movie Gamer could have some useful applications, it could help to reduce recurring criminality for example. But I doubt there would be any organization trustworthy enough to manage the implementation of this mind-control gimmick… Would-be dictators, or just simple twisted minds, would pervert its use. So better this invention never to happen!

John Cameron Mitchell is directing Rabbit Hole, the movie adaptation of David Lindsay-Abaire’s stage play. The movie is starring Nicole Kiman and Aaron Eckhart. It will be released in 2010. Here below a first look at Kidman and Eckhart in the movie Rabbit Hole:

Plot:
“Life for a happy couple is turned upside down after their young son dies in an accident. Based on a play by David Lindsay-Abaire.”

With such a premise, the movie Rabbit Hole promises to be a powerful drama charged with emotion…

THE SMURFS

Say hello to our little friend!

Plot:
“The adventures of a mythical race of little blue creatures in medieval times that must deal with each other and humans, particularly an evil wizard obsessed with capturing them for his own sinister purposes.”

I feel like I want to giggle every time I see a Smurf. I’ll be happy to go watch Gargamel and his pet cat Azrael chasing the poor Smurfs on Christmas 2010.

Looks like there will be a Bad Boys 3 movie. Sony Pictures has indeed hired Peter Craig (that’s the same guy who’s writing the script of Cowboy Bebop) to pen the screenplay of a new Bad Boy movie. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are likely to reprise their roles as Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. And Director Michael Bay may come back to helm the third opus of a movie series that really kick-started his blockbuster career.

“We need ‘Bad Boys 3.’ I was just watching ‘Bad Boys 2’ with my son and I told him you can’t open a movie better. That’s the best movie opening ever!”

Will Smith

More details at: Bad Boys 3 Movie Trailer

But nothing is set in stone yet, so even if all the stakeholders would like to see the original Bad Boys crew to be back for the movie Bad Boys 3, don’t take for granted that they will be back. Bad Boys 3 doesn’t really need Michael Bay, but it wouldn’t be a Bad Boys movie without Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

Personal request to Peter Craig: I’d like to see some hint to Obama in Bad Boys 3!

Anyway, hope we’ll get more details about Bad Boys 3 soon!

Great News today: Rambo 5 has been confirmed by Nu Image/Millennium Films. Sylvester Stallone will starring (of course!) and directing (he did a great job with Rambo 4) this new Rambo movie. And we even have the first synopsis of Rambo 5:

Rambo 5 Plot:
“Rambo 5 revolves around Rambo fighting his way through human traffickers and drug lords to rescue a young girl abducted near the U.S.-Mexico border.”

Don’t expect Rambo 5 to a bloodbath like in the previous film: Sylvester Stallone said not so long ago that they would tame it down a bit so to reach a larger public. Well as long as they keep it Rambo-esque I don’t mind.

Production will start in early 2010. Can’t wait for the movie Rambo 5!

Character posters of Agora have shown up online:

Freedom	Passion
Ambition	Power

Plot synopsis:
“A historical drama set in Roman Egypt, concerning a slave who turns to the rising tide of Christianity in the hope of pursuing freedom while falling in love with his mistress, the famous philosophy and mathematics professor Hypatia of Alexandria.”

Rachel Weisz makes a lovely Hypatia. If they were more people like Hypatia at that time, people understanding the higher value of knowledge over religion and superstition, our civilization would not have regressed into the Middle Age.

In the movie Zombieland, Jesse Eisenberg does have the survival of our species at heart (think “make babies”). This new preview clip of Zombieland indicates indeed that he’s thinking about repopulating Earth later on:
