South Korean pop singer Rain (who was Taejo in Speed Racer) comes back with the lead role in James McTeigue’s Ninja Assassin. It’s an action packed movie that revives and rejuvenate the flame of old school Ninja movies. To have a better idea just watch below the first Ninja Assassin trailer:

Ninja Assassin Movie Trailer

NINJA ASSASSIN

Raised to become an assassin,
until betrayal…made him a target
prepare to enter a secret world of assassins

Plot:
“Raizo (Rain) is one of the world’s deadliest assassins, having been kidnapped as a child and raised by the Ozunu Clan, believed by the world to be a myth. When Raizo’s friend is executed by the clan, Raizo flees into hiding. He later reemerges, seeking revenge. Meanwhile, Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) is a Europol agent who investigates money linked to political murders and finds that it is linked to the Ozunu Clan. She defies her superior, Ryan Maslow (Ben Miles), and retrieves secret agency files to find out more. The clan, finding out about the investigation, attempts to assassinate her, but she is rescued by Raizo. Hiding in Europe, Raizo and Mika must find a way to take down the Ozunu Clan.”

One can be but impressed byt this trailer of Ninja Assassin! It looks like the movie got it all right: plot, action and actors have been well directed by James McTeigue.The Ninja Assassin movie is going to be badass, no shadow of a doubt about it!

I expect the scene with Raizo (Rain) in his training room, when he’s under attack from nasty ninjas, to be marvelous. Really waiting with impatience for that scene of the movie Ninja Assassin!

Take a look to those concept arts of the upcoming sci-fi movie Tron 2, aka Tron Legacy:

Love those amazing concept arts of Tron Legacy. I bet the movie Tron 2 is going to deliver a mesmerizing theatrical experience!

The Hugues Brothers bring us The Book of Eli, a brand new post-apocalyptic movie starring starring Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman. Watch below the Book of Eli trailer:

Book of Eli Movie Trailer

THE BOOK OF ELI
Plot:
“In a post-apocalyptic world, a lone hero (Denzel Washington) guards the Book of Eli, which provides knowledge that could redeem society. The despot of a small, makeshift town (Gary Oldman) plans to take possession of the book.”

This Book of Eli trailer makes me want to go play to Fallout the post-nuclear role playing game! Hell the Book of Eli really feels like the game Fallout, with maybe a touch of Blade because of Denzel Washington using a samurai sword! The whole things is a damn explosive combination that for sure will catch the attention! Sign me on for the Book of Eli movie!

New pictures of The Expendables, the upcoming action starring Sylvester Stallone and a bunch of other strong dudes like Jason Statham and Jet Li:

I think we may describe The Expendables as Stallone’s version of Inglorious Bastards but set in our time and located in some Latin America country. And also with mercenaries instead of cons turned soldiers.

Thanks to fellow moviegoer Andrew who’s expert in all things related to Saw movie franchise we may watch the first official trailer of Saw VI:

Saw 6 Trailer

Trailer 2:

SAW VI

Trailer 1:

SAW VI

6 chances, 6 lessons, 6 choices!

Plot:
“Special Agent Strahm is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw’s legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw’s grand scheme is finally understood.”

The CGI of this teaser trailer of Saw 6 may look kind of cheap, but can’t bear a grudge against Lionsgate for this. Well, I hope that Lionsgate will put some more money on the promotion material of Saw 6 because so far they aren’t as creative as what they did for the previous Saw movies…

Anyway let’s just enjoy the fact that the final official release of the movie Saw 6 is nearing!
:)

Director Jimmy Hayward is bringing the movie Jonah Hex, based on the character published by DC Comics. The film can be described as a a spaghetti western that includes voodoo and zombies. It is starring Josh Brolin, John Malkovich and Megan Fox. The movie Jonah Hex is set for a release on June 18, 2010.

Jonah Hex Movie Trailer

We may have a first look at Josh Brolin as the anti-hero Jonah Hex:
(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)
Plot:
“Bounty hunter Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) in the late 19th century is tracking down voodoo practitioner Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich), who plans to free the Confederate South with an army of the undead.”

Movie Cast:
– Josh Brolin as Jonah Hex, a disfigured bounty hunter.
– John Malkovich as Quentin Turnbull, Jonah Hex’s nemesis.
– Megan Fox as Leila, a gun-wielding beauty and Jonah Hex’s love interest.

With John Malkovich in its cast besides the sweet Megan Fox, this movie can but catch my attention. And from the premise of the film it is clear that it won’t be our grand-father but rather a western zombie fest! What an amazing concept!

Hope to get a preview clip of the movie Jonah Hex soon.

Walt Disney Pictures has finally revealed what is (let’s hope!) the final title of the Tron 2 movie. It will be titled Tron Legacy. Here’s a picture of the new logo:

Update: here’s the trailer of Tron legacy:

TRON LEGACY TRAILER

Tron Legacy

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)
Plot of Tron Legacy:
“Tron is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.”

It’s indeed about legacy with Tron 2: besides the original cast being back, the plot is focusing on the son of Kevin Flynn the hero of the first movie. So the official title of Tron Legacy for the movie Tron 2 isn’t that bad. But would have been better to stick to a title as simple as Tron 2!
;-)

Take a look to this Saw VI poster featuring the twisted human carousel we saw in the Saw 6 clip released earlier:

The game comes full circle

The movie Saw 6 will be as crazy as the previous Saw movies!

Transformers fans are begging for Unicron (Unicron is a a nearly omnipotent robot/planetoid, a kind of Galactus) to appear in Transformers 3, the next Transformers movie sequel. But that’s unlikely to happen according to Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura who spoke his mind to IGN (here):

Transformers 3 Unicron

“Unicron worries me because it’s so big that it dwarves emotion. It’s so hard, because when you’re working to that scale, it sort of becomes outside any kind of human reality you have. It’s obviously a great character, and one that we’re definitely going to talk about, but for me personally – and I’m not the only vote here – that one scares me. Because of its size, it becomes sort of impersonal when it gets to that scale. […] And for me that worries me because I like the human characters.”

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura

But on the other hand Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has been praising the Mini-Cons stating that they’re really cool!

“I love the Mini-Cons actually – I think they’re very cool. I love the lore.”

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura

The Mini-Cons are a race of small, roughly human-sized Transformers capable of combining with a larger Transformer to impart extra abilities or greatly increase their strength.

Would love to see those mini-cons in Transformers 3: it would promise gorgeous scenes with robotic transformations! So yes, please Dear Mr. Lorenzo di Bonaventura, please bring in the mini-cons for the movie Transformers 3! I beg you! We all do!
;-P

A first red band movie trailer of Hot Tub Time Machine has shown up:

HOT TUB TIME MACHINE
Plot:
“The film depicts a group of unsatisfied men (John Cusack, Rob Corddry) who are thrown back in time to their younger days in 1986 via their Jacuzzi, in a quest to rediscover their mojo. Chevy Chase stars as a repairman who divulges his wisdom, and he may or may not be behind the traveling.”

The movie Hot Tub Time Machine is directed by Steve Pink and is starring John Cusack, Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, Rob Corrdry, Chevy Chase and more. It is scheduled for a release on February 26, 2010.

This movie is no masterpiece but it’s a good laugh ahead for sure.
:)

With such a poster, one can but guess that the movie 2012 is directed by Roland Emmerich, the king of disaster movies:

2012 Movie Trailer

2012

We were warned…

I must give a call to Richard Bronson! if he can do something as revolutionary as providing wifi in his planes, I’m sure he could speed up his space program so we may all afford cheap tickets to get to orbit so to avoid the huge disaster ahead! 2012 is gonna be a hell of year!
;-P

A new movie trailer of Whiteout, the upcoming thriller movie set in the cold hell of Antarctica, is available:

Whiteout New Trailer

WHITEOUT

Antarctica: the most isolated landmass on the planet,
no permanent population, no horizon, no shadows, there is only…
white!

I think Hell isn’t hot… It must be cold, cold like Antarctica! Maybe a bit like what we see in this movie trailer of Whiteout, but much worse, colder! Brr… God, please forgive my sins, and don’t send me to hell!

Anyway I’ll take something warm with me when I’ll go watch the movie Whiteout.
:)

Lionsgate has also released the first preview clip of Gamer, the upcoming sci-fi action movie starring Gerard Butler:

Gamer Preview Clip

Plot of Gamer:
“Set in the near-future, mind-control technology has taken society by storm and a multiplayer on-line game called ‘Slayers’ allows humans control other humans in mass-scale. Simon controls Kable (Gerard Butler) the on-line champion of the game, and with his every move tracked by millions, his ultimate challenge becomes regaining his identity and independence by defeating the game’s mastermind (Hall) through launching an attack on the system that has imprisoned him.”

Funny to imagine a big guy like Gerard Butler being controlled like a puppet by a weakling teen (no offense to weaklings: I’m a weakling too! just older). I hope that Lionsgate will show us more of the film Gamer soon.
:)

Leonardo got the crazy in his head (is he disturbed because of the Signal?) on this new movie poster of Shutter Island, an upcoming thriller movie directed by Martin Scosese:

SHUTTER ISLAND

Someone is missing…

Living on an island may sound like fun, but you’d change your mind as soon as you’d be stuck in it with a criminal around like in the movie Shutter Island!
;-P

Bright day for the fans of of the Saw movie series, a first Saw 6 clip has been released by Lionsgate:

Saw 6 Preview Clip
