Halloween 2 - H2 by Rob ZombieHere below the latest batch of pictures of Halloween 2, the sequel of the remake halloween movie by the well-named Rob Zombie:

Michael Myers Halloween 2 Mike Myers - H2
Scout Taylor-Compton as Laurie Strode - Halloween 2 Dr Loomis - H2 Movie

The movie H2 will pick up at the exact moment the first movie stopped and follow the aftermath of Michael Myers murderous rampage through the eyes of heroine Laurie Strode (played by Scout Taylor-Compton).

Some may be reluctant to admit that Rob Zombie’s take on the Halloween movies is really adding something better to the franchise, but that’s not my case: I do believe that Rob Zombie is doing great with his reinterpretation of Halloween.

I bet that Halloween 2, aka H2, will be as frighteningly entertaining as the first opus by Rob Zombie.

Twilight New Moon Cast

Twilight New Moon MovieThe full cast list of the Twilight Saga New Moon, aka twilight 2, has been announced by Summit Entertainment. We knew already for Dakota fanning as Jane and Michael Sheen as Aro. But the final cast of New Moon is still including some new actors: Daniel Cudmore as Felix, Christopher Heyerdahl as Marcus, Charlie Bewley as Demetri, Cameron Bright as Alec, and Graham Greene as Harry Clearwater.

Let’s learn more about their roles in the movie New Moon:

Graham Greene as Harry Clearwater
Harry Clearwater was a tribal elder of the Quileute tribe, and father of Seth Clearwater and Leah Clearwater. He was also a close friend of Charlie Swan’s and the two of them shared a love of fishing. Harry was happily married to Sue Clearwater until he died of heart attack during New Moon.

Christopher Heyerdahl as Marcus
Marcus is one of three vampires in Italy who live what Edward described as a very civilized and educated lifestyle. Carlisle found them while on his own search for the truth behind his nature. The Italian vampires tried to cure Carlisle of “his aversion to his natural food source,” but they failed. Their likeness was depicted in several painting by Solimena.

Daniel Cudmore as Felix
Felix is one of the guards of the Volturi. He is a violent person who is very strict and enjoys serving out punishment to people who disobey the Volturi laws – during New Moon, he is one of the members of the guard who attempts to kill Edward Cullen for the crime of exposing the vampire race (a crime which he found was not committed).

Cameron Bright as Alec
Alec is a member of the Volturi and is one of the highest ranked guards. He has a sister named Jane (played by Dakota Fanning). Alec has an extremely powerful gift which is equally powerful as his twin Jane’s. He has the ability to cut off a person’s senses. He can make them blind, deaf, and numb to any feeling if he wishes to. When he uses his gift, it appears in the form of a clear hazy mist.

Charlie Bewley as Demetri
Demetri is a member of the Volturi Guard. His special ability is Tracking. He catches the “tenor” of a person’s thoughts, and is drawn to it. It is believed that he would not be able to track Bella, because she is protected from mind-based abilities.

Crank 3 or Crank 3D, whatever the title, I bet Jason Statham will be back as hitman Chev Chelios in this movie sequel to Crank High Voltage: so much fun for him in those movies!

Michael Sheen Aro Twilight New Moon

Michael Sheen, best known for playing the role of Lucian the werewolf (actually a lycan) in the Underworld movie series, has been officially confirmed in the cast of in the upcoming movie Twilight 2, aka New Moon. But this time he is going to play the role of a vampire as Aro, the leader of an Italian vampire clan called the Volturi.

Aro is one of three vampires who lead the Volturi. He is widely accepted as the overall leader of the Volturi. Aro is blessed with superhuman strength and speed, and has vastly enhanced senses. He also possesses the supernatural ability to read minds; his ability is far more powerful than even Edward Cullens’, as he is capable of hearing every thought a person has ever had. However, he requires physical contact to use this ability, and cannot read minds from a distance.

Summit Entertainment and Director Chris Weitz said that they had to chase Michael Sheen for him to sign on as Aro. Chris Weitz is quite glad to get this actor on board the New Moon movie, and highlights the importance of Sheen’s role:

Director Chris Weitz

“Michael’s role is so important because he’s the head of all vampires. Aro is, on the surface, a very gracious and friendly vampire, but beneath that he is a tremendous threat.”

Director Chris Weitz

So let’s hope that this actor will be really committed to the success of the Twilight Saga New Moon beyond his paycheck… I mean, Michael Sheen is a star but he has to show respect and modesty in front of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga. I suppose that Chris Weitz wants Michael Sheen in the cast in order the movie New Moon to appeal to a larger public.

Duncan Jones Moon

A new Moon movie poster has been unveiled following the released of the trailer:(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

MOON

950,000 miles from home
the hardest thing to face…
is yourself

“For me, the Moon has this weird mythic nature to it… There is still a mystery to it. As a location, it bridges the gap between science-fiction and science fact. We (humankind) have been there. It is something so close and so plausible and yet at the same time, we really don’t know that much about it.”

Director Duncan Jones


Moon sounds like a very promising sci-fi movie. But I guess it’s not mainstream enough to get a wide release… That’s a bit sad because this movie is definitely worth watching. You may check some preview clips of Moon at:

Moon Clips

The release date of Moon is set to June 12, 2009: go watch Moon if it’s shown in your local theater!

Public Enemies Movie Trailer

Johnny Depp vs. Christian Bale - Public EnemiesDirector Michael Mann has been working on Public Enemies, an upcoming action period movie starring Johnny Depp and Christian bale:

Johnny Depp Public Enemies Trailer


PUBLIC ENEMIES

In 1933 America’s most notorious criminal was finally brought to justice.

From Michael Mann

with Christian Bale, Johnny Depp and Marion Cotillard.

Movie Cast:
– Johnny Depp as John Dillinger: An American bank robber whose exploits dominated the press during what is sometimes referred to as the public enemy era, between 1931 and 1935.
– Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis: An FBI agent chosen by J. Edgar Hoover to lead a manhunt to catch Dillinger.
– Marion Cotillard as Billie Frechette: Dillinger’s torch singer girlfriend.
– Channing Tatum as Pretty Boy Floyd: An American bank robber and alleged killer.

Would not have expected so much action in the movie Public Enemies: I’m impressed by this this movie trailer. But I can but think of the Dark Knight every time I see Christian Bale in this movie: I’d even say that this is a Dark Knight transported back to the 1930’s and without masks… But still it’s damn enjoyable!
