We aren’t finished yet with lethal fatalities: Director Christopher Morrison, aka Mink, is indeed working in the shadow to bbring us a new Mortal Kombat movie. Following the relative disaster of MK2 it’s not an easy task to garner enough attention and cash to launch Mortal Kombat 3. But it looks like he may have found his way at the end: actor Chris Casamassa, who played in the first Mortal Kombat movie, innocently said principal photography of a new Mortal Kombat movie would start in September 2009.

IMDb is listing the movie nder the title of Mortal Kombat for a release in 2010. But no real clue about what this new Mortal Kombat movie will be about… Is it a Mortal Kombat movie sequel? Or a reboot of Mortal Kombat?

A Mortal Kombat movie going all CGI would be better than a live action film though… Only CGI could really render the gorgeous fatalities from the game on screen!

Director Ridley Scott and Actor Russell Crowe, who once amazed us with Gladiator, team up again for Robin Hood, an upcoming movie based on the legendary character. The film was originally titled Nottingham, but it has since switched to Robin Hood which is easier to sell to the man in the street. Along Russel Crowe as Robin Hood the cast also includes Cate Blanchett as Lady Marion as Robin Hood’s love interest and Mark Strong as Sir Godfrey, King John’s henchman.

Robin Hood by Director Ridley Scott

Take a look to this picture of Russell Crowe as Robin Hood:

Plot:
“In the film, Robin (Russell Crowe) is an archer in Richard the Lionheart’s army, and the villains are the French. This version of the character was abandoned as a child and has problems trusting people. After Richard’s death, Robin returns to Nottingham, becoming an outlaw and trying to win the heart of the widowed Lady Marion (Cate Blanchett). Producer Marc Schmuger said this is about how Robin Hood became an outlaw and this is how those guys became the Merry Men of Sherwood Forest.”

The release date of Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood is set for May 14, 2010.

In the movie District 9 mankind is gonna make close encounters of the Third Kind! The aliens will even live among us as refugees. Well, not exactly among us, actually those sentient beings will be restricted to District 9, the shanty town they landed on. Watch below the latest full length trailer of District 9:

District 9 Trailer

DISTRICT 9

They came 28 years ago.

Coexistence has never been easy
Why won’t we let them leave?

Call me anti alien but hey if this was to happen, I hope that we could extort (or better, trade) as many new technologies as possible from the District 9 aliens!

SyFy will launch Stargate Universe, aka SGU, this October. Here below thw latest trailer of SGU:

New Stargate Universe Trailer

Stargate Universe – Survive
This October, Syfy reinvents the wheel
Don’t really understand why they’re adding a new series in the Stargate franchise… A few more seasons of SG1 and SGA would have been much better. But, can’t really complain, at least I’ll get my Stargate fix again!
:)

Two new hi-res pictures of Sam Worthington as Perseus in the upcoming remake movie Clash of the Titans directed by Louis Leterrier:

Clash of the Titans Movie Pics

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“Perseus (Sam Worthington) is the mortal son of Zeus (Liam Neeson), king of the gods. He must lead a band of warriors on a quest to prevent Hades (Ralph Fiennes), god of the underworld, from seizing power from Zeus.”

Not sure Liam Neeson and Sam Worthington will really look like father and son, but that’s a detail one may forgive easily knowing the talent of both actors .

And judgng fromt hose pics above the movie Clash of the Titans is going to be awesome with manly action!

A bootleg trailer of Gatchaman, aka Battle of the Planets, has leaked online:

Gatchaman Movie Trailer

GATCHAMAN

A world in chaos, an alien evil.

A lone warrior is found,

Earth’s last hope

Five shall rise!

Plot:
“A group of teenagers are recruited to form a bird theme superhero ninja team to fight the menace of an alien evil that plans to rip off Earth from all its resources.”

This looks like a good adaptation of the original Gatchaman series. I guess it’s easier to renew a manga with CGI than in live action. Thumbs up for Imagi Studios! Impatient to watch the movie Gatchaman!
:)

Nicolas Cage is a sorcerer and Jay Baruchel serves as his apprentice in the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, an upcoming fantasy movie directed by Jon Turteltaub. Below a first look at Cage and Bazruchel in the Sorcerer’s Apprentice:

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Movie With Nicolas Cage

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)
A few words from Actor Nicolas Cage about his role as the sorcerer in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice:

“The take is that it’s going to entertain you, that sorcerer is good, but there is going to be moments where he’s a little mysterious and just a little perhaps scary to look at. There’s going to be a lot of fantasy and there’s going to be some amazing FX.”

Actor Nicolas Cage

Plot:
“An average college student (Baruchel) is reluctantly recruited to work for a sorcerer (Cage), who gives him a crash course in the art and science of magic to prepare him for a battle against the forces of darkness in modern Manhattan.”

This movie is a live action re-imagining of the famed Sorcerer’s Apprentice segment in Disney’s Fantasia. I hope that Director Jon Turteltaub and Nicolas Cage are aren’t wasting their time and that The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is a really good movie, because meanwhile they aren’t are working on National Treasure 3.

Anyway, the Sorcerer’s Apprentice movie is still an occasion to see Nicolas Cage with long hair!

You are not welcome here!

“An extraterrestrial race whose ship has run out of fuel is forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth where they were given the status of refugees (just to be exploited later on). They find a kindred spirit in a government agent that is exposed to their biotechnology.”

A new full length trailer of District 9 is expected to show up online this Wednesday.

You may watch below the first official movie trailer of
Jennifer’s Body, an horror-comedy movie written by Diablo Cody (who once brought us Juno) and starring Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simons and Adam Brody:

Jennifer’s Body Trailer

JENNIFER’S BODY

Behind her smile, under her skin, inside her body
lives
A DEMON !

From the mind of Diablo Cody,
comes a horror movie like you’ve never heard before!

Plot:
“The film follows Jennifer (Megan Fox), a mean-girl cheerleader possessed by a demon who begins feeding off the boys in a Minnesota farming town. It is then up to her ‘plain Jane’ best friend Needy (Amanda Seyfried) to kill Jennifer, escape from a correctional facility and go after lead singer Nikolai (Adam Brody) and his Satan-worshiping rock band responsible for the transformation.”

Megan Fox is probably the sexiest Succubus ever! Every man is dreaming of being ‘eaten’ by her lovely mouth. Impatient to get a closer look to Jennifer’s Body.

Robin Hood

It’s no wonder that Director Brett Ratner and Scriptwriter Jeff Nathanson have been talking about a fourth Rush Hour film since the box-office success of Rush Hour 3.Ratner has been hinting at a possible release in either 2010 or 2012.

And the film’s producer Arthur Sarkissian once said:

“I said, ‘We’ve waited six years to do Rush Hour 3 and if we wait another six years, Jackie is going to be way too tired to do this stuff. So Chris is on board – he said he would love to do it.

But we have to make sure it stands on its own. And it hinges on how successful ‘Rush Hour 3’ is, for the studio to say we want to make another one.

If we do [Rush Hour 4], I’m strongly thinking about setting it in Moscow.””

Producer Arthur Sarkissian (in 2007)

More details at: Rush Hour 4 Trailer

So I think there is still hope to seee a Rush Hour 4 movie. But it’s not so sure that Jacky Chan and Chris Tucker would reprise their roles. The two dudes would enjoy working again together, but do not show real interest in a Rush Hour 4 movie. Hence the rumor of Danny DeVito and Jet Li taking over the movie franchise. Which wouldn’t be that bad actually…

Anyway I bet Jacky Chan and Chris Tucker will be involved in Rush Hour 4 one way or another.
