Take a look to this new banner poster of The Reader, upcoming period drama movie starring Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes:

I wish I didn’t read the novel the movie is based on: I would have been really surprised by the plot of the Reader. But even knowing what the Reader is about I’m still impatient to see the movie. Maybe even more impatient with Kate Winslet having the lead role!

Thanks to the latest poster of the sci-fi movie Push we may have a better understanding of Chris Evans‘s abilities in the film:

PUSH
One Push can change everything.

I’m not sure the movie will be as amazing as seen on the poster… But I can’t but give it a try: Push can’t be that bad either!

A preview clip of the indie film Wendy and Lucy is available:

Wendy and Lucy Movie

The movie Wendy and Lucy is about a woman whose life is derailed en route to a potentially lucrative summer job when her car breaks down…

It’s a heartbreaking movie that somehow mirrors what’s happening to many through America because of the the current recession…

Wendy and Lucy is an independent movie but it has a country-wide release, to know the nearest theater in which you may watch Wendy and Lucy, just head to the official site at:

Summit Entertainment has announced the release date of the movie New Moon, sequel to Twilight: New Moon is tentatively scheduled for a release on November 20, 2009.

Much more information at:

–> New Moon Movie in November 2009

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will be back respectively as Edward and Bella. But Summit Entertainment has decided to replace Director Catherine Hardwicke with Chris Weitz.

Now they can indeed afford a more expensive director: the first Twilight movie was real gold for the production company.

As long as Stephenie Meyer keeps scrutinizing the development of the movie New Moon, there is no need to worry about the change for the fans.

Director Bryan Singer enrolled Tom Cruise as Colonel Stauffenberg in the movie Valkyrie. Here a few movie clips of Valkyrie:

Valkyrie Preview Clips

Valkyrie – We have to kill HitlerPlot synopsis:
“In Nazi Germany during World War II, as the tide turned in favor of The Allies, a cadre of senior German officers and politicians desperately plot to topple the Nazi regime before the nation is crushed in a near-inevitable defeat. To this end, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, an Army officer convinced he must save Germany from Hitler, is recruited to mastermind a real plan. To do so, he arranges for the internal emergency measure, Operation: Valkyrie, to be changed to enable his fellows to seize control of Berlin after the assassination of the Fuhrer. However, even as the plan is put into action, a combination of bad luck and human failings conspire on their own to create a tragedy that would prolong the greater one gripping Europe.”

Colonel Stauffenberg was a real hero, so sad his attempt at assassinating the evil Hitler failed…

Do you remember Judge Dredd, the sci-fi movie set in a dystopian future starring Sylvester Stallone as a super super cop with instant field judiciary powers? Well that movie is gonna have a reboot or maybe it will have a sequel. It’s been announced (here) on the official forum of 2000 AD, the weekly British science fiction-oriented who was behind the original Judge Dredd comics:

“Rebellion and 2000 AD are proud to announce that Judge Dredd is coming to a cinema near you soon!

Together with DNA Films, the movie production company behind such great sci-fi movies such as Sunshine and 28 Weeks Later, Judge Dredd will go into production in 2009.

Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director said, ‘We can’t give away too many details at this point, but we’re looking forward to working with DNA Films to bring Judge Dredd back to the big screen.’

We’ll keep you up to date with breaking news as it happens!”

w3b-B0Tv2, admin on 2000 AD’s site

If the movie goes in production in the second half of 2009 (I doubt it would start before), considering that post-production would require a lot of CGI I guess, we may expect this new Judge Dredd movie to be released in 2011 and if lucky end of 2010.

Let’s remember the original Judge Dredd movie with this theatrical trailer:

Judge Dredd (Sylvester Stallone) was the law:

Judge Dredd: I am the law!

Don’t know yet what is ahead, reboot Judge Dredd remake or Judge Dredd sequel (or even a prequel?) but I bet they will somewhat update this damn kitsch outfit Stallone was wearing:

All that’s quite sure is that Sylvester Stallone will not have the lead role: he’s definitely too old for the character by now (besides he’s busy with Rambo 5).

The original Judge Dredd movie was already cheesy even in 1995 but this news makes my day: I did like the movie at the time!

Take a look to those pictures of Beyonce and Ali Larter in the movie Obsessed:

Obsessed Movie Pictures

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Choosing between Beyonce and Ali Larter is really difficult!

The lucky man on the pictures is Idris Elba. Yeap he’s got the lead role, but who cares? Actually most people will go watch Obsessed for the two girls, not for the boy.

I’d like to see a movie poster of Obsessed featuring Ali Larter vs. Beyonce!

The movie isn’t exactly titled New Ulm, it’s actually New in Town… But even if filming was done in Canada, the story does take place in New Ulm, Minnesota. So let’s rather call it the New Ulm movie.

Take a look to this New in Town clip, er, I mean New Ulm movie clip:

Are you such a silly girl? You can’t pee outside?

The story of New in Town is about a corporate dominatrix who get tamed when she moves from Miami to the country town of New Ulm… Well, the scene above is cute, isn’t it?

By the way, this innocent movie could unwillingly spark a controversy: –> ill-chosen words in the movie New Town

Will the production company change the scene? Or will they ignore the event?

Bruce Willis is back in a science-fiction movie: he’s got the lead role in The Surrogates, an upcoming sci-fi movie directed by Jonathan Mostow. The film is based on the 2005-2006 comic book series of the same name written by Robert Venditt and illustrated by Brett Weldele. The Surrogates is scheduled for a release in September 2009.

Surrogates Movie in 2009

We have may have a first look at Bruce Willis in the Surrogates movie:

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“In the near future, humans live in isolation and only interact through remote-controlled artificial bodies that serve as surrogates. When several surrogates are murdered, a cop (Bruce Willis) investigates the crimes through his own surrogate. The investigation forces the cop to bring his human form out of isolation and unravel a conspiracy behind the crimes” (Source: Wikipedia)

They aren’t that many interesting movie released in September in general. So The Surrogates movie is really welcome! It will bridge the gap between Summer 2009 movies and end of year blockbusters.

With the current R&D in robotics and AI such a future isn’t so farfetched… But for mankind’s sake better for us not to not use such Surrogates!

The first official teaser trailer of Night at the Museum 2, aka Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian, has been released:

Night at the Museum 2 Trailer

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2

In the world’s biggest museum something huge is about to go down!

When everything comes to life there’s one man for the job:

Ben Stiller

Ben Stiller seems to really enjoy his role in Nthe Night at the Museum movies series. Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian looks like a fun movie, and I’m glad that the Smithsonian is getting a moment of glory in our theaters. The Smithsonian is probably my favorite museum.

I also hope that the movie Night at the Museum 2, aka Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian, will spur again interest in History among our youth.

In the season 5 of Lost Jack and Ben have managed to put aside their reciprocal hostility in order to get back to the island. Here below a new clip of Lost Season 5:

Lost Season 5 Trailer

Jack and Ben are planning the trip back to the Island.

Gathering all of the Oceanic Six to go back to the Isaland won’t be that easy! Lost Season 5 will drive you even more crazy than the previous seasons!

Teaching the alphabet from A to Z to your kids? Then those new Coraline posters may help:

Coraline Movie

(Click on a poster to enlarge it.)

Well, actually the words on those posters of Coraline are a bit too advanced for a kid learning letters. But I like them anyway! Most are worth a look, like the letter z for example:

Z is for Zanzibar: where chocolate beetles come from surprisingly tasty, if you can catch one.

Coraline is a character who will catch the attention of both kids and grown-ups!

UP, The next Pixar movie is about an old grumpy widow and a young boy: the two are unwillingly brought to a world of adventures when the little house in the picture above is lift in the air by balloons:

Please let me in!
I wonder if Pixar was inspired by Japanese Director Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky…): it is quite different from the previous movies done by Pixar!

We’ve got our hands on two new Underworld 3 movie character posters:

Underworld 3

(Click on a poster to enlarge it.)

In case you don’t know the synopsis of Underworld 3, aka Underworld Rise of the Lycans, here’s the plot:

The prequel will trace the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. In the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian (Sheen) emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Nighy), the cruel vampire king who has enslaved them. Lucian is joined by his secret lover, Viktor’s daughter Sonja (Mitra), in his battle against the Death Dealer army and his struggle for Lycan freedom.

I hope to see her starring even more often in fantasy and sci-fi movies, like in Doomsday for example: Rhona Mitra rocks like hell!.
