The movie Despicable Me is an upcoming 3D animated film directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud. The movie can boast the voice of Steve Carrel in the role of Gru, the machiavellian villain who wants to steal the Moon:

Plot:
“In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru (Steve Carell), planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon.
Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad.

Looks like the movie Despicable Me won’t be much politically correct. Well, no real ground to take offense. I think that such funny stereotypes, as long as there is a clever plot behind, are something useful in animation because they make the characters more vivid and it’s easier to understand their personalities. Regarding the CGI behind Despicable Me: it may not look like state of the art CGI, but I still like it. Actually I think that art, voices and stereotypes are a good match that promise a quite funny and entertaining animated movie for 2010.

I went on the official site of Despicable Me (which is of course hosted at Despicable.me here), don’t know who’s singing, bu can’t get the little song out of my head:

Despicable Me!
Sign me up for the 3D animated movie Despicable Me!

Ricky Gervais just invented the lie in his latest comedy comedy movie The Invention of Lying:

THE INVENTION OF LYING

In a world where everyone can only tell the truth
…he’s just invented the lie!

How can politicians gather a large base in a world where even they can’t lie? hmmm… Anyway, politicians didn’t wait for Ricky Gervais to bring the Invention of Lying….
;-P

The first time I saw the promotional Twilight New Moon picture of the Wolf Pack I suspected that some photoshop trick was the secret behind those young men’s muscles… Well I was wrong, just take a look to this new picture from the movie set of Twilight in Vancouvers:

The shirtless Alex Meraz looks like a powerful stallion. And we can guess that Chaske Spencer, who’s almost, is as fit as his fellow werewolf. Kristen Stewart who plays the role of Bella must enjoy her job: she’s herding handsome men in the movie Twilight 2 New Moon.

Cemetery Junction is an upcoming written and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. The film started to film last month, it will be released in 2010. Below a very early teaser trailer of Cemetery Junction:

Update: Here’s the latest trailer of Cemetery Junction:

CEMETERY JUNCTION

Some people want success

Some people want a good time

And everyone wants a way out!

Previous Cemetery Junction trailer:

Plot:
“CEMETERY JUNCTION tells the funny, touching and universal story of being… it’s a 1970s-set comedy centered on three upstart professional men working at an insurance company.”

They’re quite mysterious about this project… Well, if Ralph Fiennes is in it, I suppose it means that Cemetery Junction will be a good movie.
:)

You may watch below a TV spot of GI Joe Rise of Cobra:

Look at those two creepy robots from the upcoming sci-fi movie Surrogates:

Surrogates Trailer

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

I feel kind of uneasy at watching those écorchés… Must be because of the contrast of the skin over the metalic skeleton…

Plot of Surrogates:
“In the year 2017 two FBI Agents (Bruce Willis and Radha Mitchell) investigates the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase unflawed robotic versions of themselves – fit, good looking remotely controlled machines that ultimately assume their life roles – enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. ”

The movie Surrogates is directed by Jonathan Mostow and will hit theaters on September 25, 2009.

Below some more pictures of Surrogates:

I definitely need the geek chair Bruce Willis is sitting in!

Take a look to the Comic Con poster of the Book Eli, upcoming sci-fi post-apocalyptic movie starring Denzel Washington:

THE BOOK OF ELI
The Book of Eli poster above was created for the Comic Con by by artist Chris Weston (he did the storyboard before). Below two earlier versions that haven’t been selected:

The Book of Eli is set in a post-apocalyptic world. Could be just a new Mad-Max-like movie, but I have hope that Denzel Washingtom will amaze us and bring something new to the genre.

Three new posters of GI Joe Rise of Cobra have been released. They focus on Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes:

The two character posters featuring Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes look quite good. I wonder why we had to wait so long for such movie posters of GI Joe.

We got our hands on a first picture of Actor Jackson Rathbone as Sokka in Shyamalan’s Last Airbender:

Last Airbender Trailer

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)

Sokka is a young warrior of the Southern Water Tribe (and actually the only one left in his village since all the men have been made prisoners by the Fire Nation). With his sister, Katara, he accompanies Aang on his quest to defeat the Fire Lord. The joker of the group, Sokka describes himself as “meat-loving” and “sarcastic”. Unlike his companions, Sokka is not gifted with the power of bending an element, but the series, though it often makes him the victim of comedy at his expense, frequently grants him opportunities to use his ingenuity and weapons, including his trusty boomerang and a sword he forged from a meteorite.

(Jackson Rathbone)
I like the character of Sokka: he’s the stupid idiot who manages to stay clever and still get the girls. I bet that Jackson Rathbone will perform well as Sokka in the upcoming Last Airbender movie.

Just a few days before the official release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and we now have plenty of preview clips from the movie. If you have to watch only one, then watch this clip showing a confrontation between a determined Harry Potter and a confused Draco Malfoy:

I Know What You Did Malfoy!
Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) confronts Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton).
Im a bit sad for Draco Malfoy. Must vbe hard to always be in the shadow of the great Harry Potter. No wonder he’s always scheming…

We may have a first look at Whip It!, an upcoming drama comedy movie directed by Actress-turned-director Drew Barrymore and starring Ellen Page:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“A misfit girl named Bliss (Ellen Page) is constantly being pressured to enter beauty pageants by her mother, so she joins a roller derby league instead.”

Cast:
– Ellen Page as Bliss Cavendar, a teenage girl who runs away to join an Austin roller derby league.
– Marcia Gay Harden as Bliss’s mother, who would prefer her daughter enter beauty pageants than roller derbies.
– Kristen Wiig as Malice in Wonderland, Bliss’s mentor.
– Alia Shawkat as Pash, Bliss’s best friend.
– Jimmy Fallon as the MC.
– Landon Pigg as Oliver, Bliss’s guitar playing love interest, member of a band.
– Juliette Lewis as Iron Maven, a rival player on Austin’s top team.
– Drew Barrymore as Smashly Simpson, one of Bliss’s teammates

Those girls look like crazy. I guess the movie Whip It will be much more interesting and funny to watch than the usual tale of rebellion against rebellion against parental authority.

:)
