Gary Oldman in the Book of EliThanks to Mr. White Mountain Wheels (here) we may have a first look at Gary Oldman in the Book of Eli, an upcoming post-apocalyptic movie, in which he is starring as the chief villain opposing the hero Eli (Denzel Washington):

Also, via IMdDb, an other picture of Denzel Washington as Eli:

Don’t know if it’s because of the recession (scriptwriters were maybe feeling the first signs?) but stories about a bleak future keep popping up since last year. Anyway, still impatient to see the Book of Eli!

Sherlock Holmes Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood

Mark Strong is Lord Blackwood in the new Sherlock Holmes movie.Mark Strong is playing the role of Lord Blackwood in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movie. Lord Blackwood is the villain of the film. He engages in a battle of wit with Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.).

The picture above (which you may enlarge by clicking on it) is a first glimpse of Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood.

Actor Mark Strong may have talked too much in an interview given to Total Film: he revealed indeed the movie’s ending! Here it is:

Sherlock Holmes Movie Ending

“There’s a fantastic sequence where we duel to the death on a half-built Tower Bridge. It’s a perfect way to end the movie, Robert and I hammering seven bells out of each other on top of this swinging bridge with Victorian London as a backdrop. It’s going to be amazing.
[…]
There’s a touch of Dracula about him (Lord Blackwood).

He needed to have an element of showmanship about him by virtue of the fact that he’s trying to persuade everyone around him that he’s so in league with the Devil that he’s able to conquer death. I just wanted to make him an equal adversary of Sherlock Holmes.”

Mark Strong
(that’s a real picture of Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood!)

What Strong is describing sounds quite close to the final fight between Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes with both being being swept into waterfalls. But still, it just makes more impatient to see the whole thing: what he gave away is no spoiler! I’d rather say that it’s a teaser instead!

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and Dr. Watson (Jude Law) are ready to confront Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong):

The movie Sherlock Holmes will be released on Christmas 2009.

Dragonball Evolution Preview Clip

Dragonball EvolutionI may have compared the upcoming DB Evolution movie to Smallville, even talking about a “smallvillesque” that would have cursed the movie from the start… Well that was not fair for Smallville: I should compare this Dragonball movie to the Power Rangers too!

Just check those disappointing preview clips of Dragonball the movie:

Dragonball Preview


Goku VS Gohan


Gohan VS Mai and Piccolo


Goku meets Bulma


Goku (Justin Chatwin) is battling with Master Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat) and his energy flow inadvertently target Bulma (Emmy Rossum)


Piccolo and Mai search the Dragonballs


Goku, Roshi and Bulma trapped because of Yamcha


Chichi (Jamie Chung) is in a fight against Mai (Eriko Tamura) who morphed into Chichi’s look-alike.

Let’s try to be positive though: I’m definitely a fan of Eriko Tamura who plays teh role of Mai ( who is a chief enforcer of Piccolo’s and a shapeshifter) from now on! Can’t believe I didn’t notice that she is so gorgeous till now!

Here a promotional picture featuring Mai and Piccolo (who went green at long last):
(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)

I’m fan of Eriko Tamura but even her can’t save this soulless adaptation of the manga Dragonball! So it’s a relief that the movie won’t be much longer than 80 minutes.
:-P

Jake Gyllenhaal Prince of Persia

Jake Gyllenhaal got the lead role as Prince Dastan in the movie Prince of Persia The Sands of Time an upcoming cinema adaptation of the videogame of the same name created by Jordan Mechner. Here below, thanks to the Huffington Post (here), two new pics of Jake Gyllenhaal in the Prince of Persia:

(Click on a poster to enlarge it.)

Jake Gyllenhaal - Prince of Persia Jake Gyllenhaal - POP The Sands of Time

There is no denying that Jake Gyllenhaal has really changed since his role in Donnie Darko: he’s become a really handsome man, that most girls would dream to hang out with I’m sure. Being bald I have more empathy with characters like Dr. Manhattan, but I bet that the hairy jake Gyllenhaal will amaze us with his interpretation of Prince Dastan.

The movie Prince of Persia, directed by Mike Newell, is expected to be released end of May 2010.

Cloverfield 2 Movie

Cloverfield II movie - Cloverfield SequelDuring the last WonderCon J.J. Abrams was asked about his intention regarding a possible movie sequel to Cloverfield. And to the fans’ pleasure he did confirm that he’s definitely working on something:

Cloverfield 2 Movie JJ Abrams

JJ Abrams talks about Cloverfield II

“We’re actually working on an idea right now… The key obviously at doing any kind of sequel, certainly this film included, is that it better not be a business decision. If you’re going to do something, it should be because you’re really inspired to do it. It doesn’t really have to mean anything, doesn’t mean it will work, but it means we did it because we cared, not because we thought we could get the bucks.

We have an idea that we thought was pretty cool that we’re playing with, which means there will be something that’s connected to Cloverfield, but I hope it happens sooner than later because the idea is pretty sweet.”

Producer J.J. Abrams
at the Star Trek panel at WonderCon 2009


It seems more and more unlikely that we will have a straight sequel. Looks like J.J Abrams and Matt Reeves have something really special in mind for Cloverfield 2. Abrams says that their idea is “pretty sweet” maybe just a teaser catch… But I believe they could deliver something like that with Cloverfield 2: Abrams and Reeves are both damn talented.

Any idea about what Cloverfield II should look like? Got any suggestion for Producer J.J. Abrams and Director Matt Reeves?

Terminator Triptic Poster

Terminator Salvation is the working title of the fourth Terminator movie, directed by McG and starring Christian Bale in the lead role as John Connor and Sma Worthington as a cyborg who strongly believes to be human. Here below a triptic poster of Terminator 4:

Terminator SalvationFrom left to right: Christian Bale as John Connor, Terminator robot, Sam Worthington as Marcus Wright

If Skynet (the evil network aiming at annihilating mankind) was to become real nowadays, it wouldn’t be based on military installations, it would rather rise from the civilian cloud that’s currently building up. And rather than Skynet, we would probably call it Google AI…
;-P

Wolverine Movie

Wolverine Movie on May 1rst, 2009The latest Wolverine trailer will definitely convince you that the movie will be awesome if you were not yet a believer:

Wolverine Movie Trailer

Hugh Jackman had a double hat on this new Wolverine movie: he was both lead actor and producer. So, it was an ideal occasion for him to put forward his vision of Wolverine which is much closer to the comic canon than what we may have seen in the previous X-Men movies:

Hugh Jackman

“I’m not mad about it, but I thought he had gotten a bit soft. I thought we had gotten away from the essence of who Wolverine really is: a bad (dude) who wants to live his own life.
[…]
The character has always reminded me of Dirty Harry or Han Solo. He’s a good guy, not a nice guy. He’s got a lot of flaws, which I think is what people find so attractive about him and the X-Men. He’s struggling with who he is and what he wants. He was one of the comics’ first anti-heroes.”

Hugh Jackman
(via USA Today, here.)


Hugh Jackman is epitomizing the role of Logan / Wolverine to such an extent, that if I ever meet him I’d almost expect him to show me his adamantium claws. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine rules!
