Take a look at Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood in this new photo of the Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes:

Lord Blackwood is the villain of the story, the evil mastermind Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) will have to defeat.

Mark Strong said about his role:

“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.”

Actor Mark Strong

Here some more pictures of Sherlock Holmes:

Plot:
“Detective Sherlock Holmes (Downey Jr.) and his stalwart partner Watson (Law) engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England.”

This is not going to be your grandfather’s Sherlock Holmes!

Thanks to the Disney Channel we may enjoy the movie trailer of The Princess and The Frog, the latest hand-drawn animated movie by Walt Disney Pictures, earlier than expected:

The Princess and The Frog Trailer

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG

After 75 years of Magic

Walt Disney Pictures brings a classic tale to life!

Plot:
“A fairy tale centered on a young girl named Princess Tiana who lives in New Orleans’ French Quarter during the Jazz Age”

What a lovely a twist to this classic tale: the princess transforms into a frog after kissing the batracian!

But I still can’t say that I’m conquered by this animated movie… Maybe entertaining for my kids, bu not even sure about that… Well I suppose it’s one those movies that parents will force upon their children out of nostalgia… I don’t think this film deserves more a direct to dvd release…
:-)

“Laurie Strode struggles to come to terms with her brother Michael’s deadly return to Haddonfield, Illinois; meanwhile, Michael prepares for another reunion with his sister.”
I pity Michael Myers who can’t be freed of his obsession… Poor evil Mike!

In Terminator 4 Anton Yelchin is playing the role of Kyle Reese in Terminator 4. Kyle Reese is the resistant who will be sent to the past to protect John Connor’s mother (and is actually Connor’s father…). Skynet may want to kill him, but John Connor won’t let it happen:

Who are you?
John Connor (Christian Bale) fights to rescue Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin).

What a weird situation for John Connor: having to protect a boy who is his father in the future, er, I mean in the past… er… confused!

Did I tell you that Eli Roth is a real basterd? Here’s the proof:

Eli Roth plays as Sgt. Donnie Donowitz: “A baseball bat-swinging Nazi hunter” who is known as “The Bear Jew” among Nazis. Some of them seem to believe that Donowitz is in fact, a vengeful golem!

In Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian Ben Stiller has not only to deal with a megalomaniac pharaoh but also with crazy scientists:

Thanks to Firstshowing we may take a look to some splendid pictures of Agora, the upcoming drama movie set in Roman Egyt, 391 A.D., starring Rachel Weisz as Hypatia the philosopher and Max Minghella as her Christian slave:

Agora Pictures

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Agora is quite impressive knowing that they used a real set especially built on Malta to recreate Alexandria, and not the product of CGI tricks.

By the way in case you’re wondering: the Agora (or forum in their Roman equivalent) was an open place of assembly in ancient Greek city-states. We may still find the word as etymon of the word agoraphobia, the fear of critical public situations.
:)

Woody Allen is back to New York after his sojourn in Europe. He celebrates his return with Whatever Works, a comedy movie starring Larry David and Evan Rachel Wood, set in the Big Apple.

A grumpy ‘old’ man who’s hitting on a young woman: well, Whatever Works is definitely a movie by Woody Allen!
