The latest international trailer of Gamer, the upcoming sci-fi action movie directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, is definitely worth seeing:

GAMER

In the future a new form of entertainment will be unleashed!

This Fall

Some live to play others play to live

with Gerard Butler

Plot:
“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.”

Curious to see more of the scene showing John Leguizamo talking to Gerard Butler. Hope to get a preview clip of the movie Gamer soon!

The movie Daybreakers is an upcoming sci-fi vampire film written and directed by Peter and Michael Spierig. The film is reversing the usual demographics we are used to see in Vampire movie: in Daybreakers Mankind is the new minority! Daybreakers is starring Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, and Sam Neill. It is scheduled for a release on January 8, 2010.

Daybreakers Trailer

Here the first official movie trailer of Daybreakers released by Lionsgate:

DAYBREAKERS

Imagine a world where almost everyone is a vampire.

No one grows old and the remaining humans are hunted and farmed for blood

This winter the battle between immortality and humanity is on!

Plot:
“Ethan Hawke plays Edward Dalton, a researcher in the year 2019, in which an unknown plague has transformed the world’s population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out. However, a covert group of vampires makes a remarkable discovery, one which has the power to save the human race.”

Cast:
– Ethan Hawke as Edward Dalton, a vampire researcher who tries to save humanity from extinction.
– Sam Neill as a vampire in charge of a corporation.
– Willem Dafoe as a vampire who duels with Hawke’s character.
– Claudia Karvan as Lucy, Edward’s love interest.
– Vince Colosimo in an unnamed role.
– Isabel Lucas as the last surviving member of the human race.

I think I’d be glad to forgo the status of human in exchange of immortality. And about the blood farms: ok, sure, it’s disgusting. The premise of the movie is that artificial blood (true blood?) can’t be done (at least not fast enough, just to create some suspense). But recent research lets us expect real artificial blood that works in a not-too-distant future. More than vampirism, I’d be appealed by immortality for sure!

;-P

Two covers of the movie tie-in books of New Moon, aka Twilight 2, have been unveiled. And one of the covers is fairly hot:

(Click on a cover to enlarge it.)

It could be hotter but I guess they have to keep it PG-13 because of younger audiences. They want lot of people to go watch the movie in theaters, it means they’re targeting the whole family, young teens and even kids included. But Twilight isn’t a story for kids…
So no wonder that some fans are disappointed to see the Twilight movie series to get tamed… But well, maybe in the following Twilight movies, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, they won’t shy away from the lustful passion that was one of the main reasons for the original success of Stephenie Meyer’s books.
:)

I don’t like the teaser poster of the Last Airbender that has been unveiled recently because it gives too much credit to M. Night Shyamalan…

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)
THE LAST AIRBENDER

Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan

Written by Shyamalan? He just wrote (contributed to?) the screenplay, what a big deal! Hey, the real creators of the Avatar, aka the Last Airbender, are Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino (the one as bald as Aang):

May God bless those two guys and let’s pray for Shyamalan to stay on a good track in his adaptation of the Last Airbender!

The Box is an upcoming thriller movie adapted from Richard Matheson’s short story Button, Button. The film is directed by Richard Kelly and is starring Cameron Diaz, James Marsden and Frank Langella. You may watch here below the first official movie trailer of The Box:

THE BOX

An ordinary family whose dreams are slipping away

But tonight everything will change

From the director of Donnie Darko

Plot:
“A small wooden box arrives on the doorstep of a married couple, who open it and become instantly wealthy. Little do they realize that opening the box also kills someone they do not know …”

This movie is not the first adaptation of Richard Matheson’s short story. It was also the plot of an episode of the television series The New Twilight Zone (second segment of the twentieth episode from the first season, 1985-1986):

Judging from the trailer of the new version I’m not sure Cameron Diaz looks mean and greedy enough for the part… But well, maybe Director Richard Matheson is playing on this in the movie The Box.

The first teaser trailer of The Last Airbender has been released, you may watch it here below:

Last Airbender Movie Trailer

THE LAST AIRBENDER

From M Night Shyamalan

Next Summer

Plot:
“The story follows the adventures of Aang, a ten year old successor to a long line of Avatars, who must put his childhood ways aside and stop the Fire Nation from enslaving the Water, Earth and Air nations.”

The movie The Last Aibender is adapted from the animated series of the Avatar that aired on Nicklelodeon. The film is directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

Judging from what we see I’d say that Shyamalan’s take on Avatar The Last Airbender is going to be a bit darker than the animated series. But M. Night Shyamalan stated that he was doing the movie for a large public so it won’t diverge by too much. Love the boats from the Fire nation:

I’m impressed by the skills in martial arts of Noah Ringer who plays the role of Aang the Avatar:

And I’m definitely found of Noah Ringer as Aang the Avatar! He looks damn great!

So impatient to watch he Last Airbender movie!
