In a not so surprising movie Summit Entertainment is once again selecting a different director for Eclipse, the third movie in the Twilight Saga. This time Director David Slade’s got the job. So Chris Weitz because he is officially too busy delivering a great New Moon movie won’t be helming the movie Eclipse.

Eclipse Movie Directed by David Slade

David Slade directed the vampire movie ’30 Days of Night’ so the choice is not so odd. Here’s the lucky Spade:
But we can but wonder about his ability to render the full spectrum of emotions from Stephenie Meyer’s novel. Can’t say that ’30 Days of Night” was romantic:

And romance is definitely a dimension not to miss in a Twilight movie!

Below a few words from Stephenie Meyer and Summit Entertainment about David Spade directing the movie Eclipse:

Twilight 3 Plot, Synopsis:
“Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob — knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.”

Let’s hope that David Spade and Summit Entertainment will keep in mind that they have to deliver a ROMANTIC vampire movie!

The Catholic hierarchy does not really stand Dan Brown’s work and is quite pissed off by Director Ron Howard’s movie adaptation. Ron Howard can but be glad: that’s free promotion for his new movie Angels and Demons starring Tom Hanks. But he tries to play down the controversy, fearing that rank-and-file Catholic believers would start to listen to their narrow-minded priest:

Not sure he’s sincere but I don’t give a dam (my grandmother do though, and will boycott Angels and Demons…): I just know that Angels and Demons looks like an entertaining movie!

Here below some new preview clips of Angels and Demons:

Regular movie audiences will probably enjoy the movie Angels and Demons, but I can understand that over-sensitive believers may frown upon Ron Howard’s movie.

You may enjoy below a clip of Shane Acker’s 9 movie, the clip features a group of post-apocalyptic ragdolls facing the attack of a hypnotizing baddie:

9 Movie Preview Clip

Plot:
“When 9 (Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.”

Those straw men rock! No wonder Timur Bekmambetov and Tim Burton are producing the movie 9! Let’s hope that the whole movie will deliver as in this preview clip of 9.

South African filmmaker Neill Blomkamp, who once brought us the Halo short films, has been working on District 9, his first feature film. Disctrict 9 is a sci-fi movie starring Jason Cope, Robert Hobbs and Sharlto Copley. It will be released on August 14, 2009.

Plot:
“An extraterrestrial race forced to live in slum-like conditions on Earth suddenly find a kindred spirit in a government agent that is exposed to their biotechnology.
The aliens are called the ‘Non-Humans’ and are forced to work the Multi National United company (MNU for short). A kind of apartheid discriminating the non-humans has been enforced. Throughout the film, the Non-Humans will try to free themselves from MNU’s grasp.”

Thanks to Slashfilm, here below a first look at Sharlto Copley as Wikus, a Multi-National United agent who’s been infected by alien goo:

A viral website has been set up for District 9 (here): they were obviously inspired by Cloverfield.

Quite sure that District 9 will shape up as the surprise of this Summer. Neill Blomkamp did indeed a good job with his Halo short films and I believe he can stretch his skills to deliver a great sci-fi feature movie.

They Came From Upstairs Trailer

I’d like to order right away the remote control gizmo shown in this trailer of They Came From Upstairs! The dog next door consider my lawn as his personal toilets, because it’s a rottweiler I don’t dare kick his butt when I see him, so such a gizmo could be handy! I would control the dog like they control Gerard Butler in Gamer!
