Sherlock Holmes Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood

Mark Strong is Lord Blackwood in the new Sherlock Holmes movie.Mark Strong is playing the role of Lord Blackwood in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movie. Lord Blackwood is the villain of the film. He engages in a battle of wit with Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.).

The picture above (which you may enlarge by clicking on it) is a first glimpse of Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood.

Actor Mark Strong may have talked too much in an interview given to Total Film: he revealed indeed the movie’s ending! Here it is:

Sherlock Holmes Movie Ending

“There’s a fantastic sequence where we duel to the death on a half-built Tower Bridge. It’s a perfect way to end the movie, Robert and I hammering seven bells out of each other on top of this swinging bridge with Victorian London as a backdrop. It’s going to be amazing.
[…]
There’s a touch of Dracula about him (Lord Blackwood).

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.”

Mark Strong
(that’s a real picture of Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood!)

What Strong is describing sounds quite close to the final fight between Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes with both being being swept into waterfalls. But still, it just makes more impatient to see the whole thing: what he gave away is no spoiler! I’d rather say that it’s a teaser instead!

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and Dr. Watson (Jude Law) are ready to confront Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong):

The movie Sherlock Holmes will be released on Christmas 2009.

Dragonball Evolution Preview Clip

Dragonball EvolutionI may have compared the upcoming DB Evolution movie to Smallville, even talking about a “smallvillesque” that would have cursed the movie from the start… Well that was not fair for Smallville: I should compare this Dragonball movie to the Power Rangers too!

Just check those disappointing preview clips of Dragonball the movie:

Dragonball Preview


Goku VS Gohan


Gohan VS Mai and Piccolo


Goku meets Bulma


Goku (Justin Chatwin) is battling with Master Roshi (Chow Yun-Fat) and his energy flow inadvertently target Bulma (Emmy Rossum)


Piccolo and Mai search the Dragonballs


Goku, Roshi and Bulma trapped because of Yamcha


Chichi (Jamie Chung) is in a fight against Mai (Eriko Tamura) who morphed into Chichi’s look-alike.

Let’s try to be positive though: I’m definitely a fan of Eriko Tamura who plays teh role of Mai ( who is a chief enforcer of Piccolo’s and a shapeshifter) from now on! Can’t believe I didn’t notice that she is so gorgeous till now!

Here a promotional picture featuring Mai and Piccolo (who went green at long last):
(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)

I’m fan of Eriko Tamura but even her can’t save this soulless adaptation of the manga Dragonball! So it’s a relief that the movie won’t be much longer than 80 minutes.
:-P

Jake Gyllenhaal Prince of Persia

Jake Gyllenhaal got the lead role as Prince Dastan in the movie Prince of Persia The Sands of Time an upcoming cinema adaptation of the videogame of the same name created by Jordan Mechner. Here below, thanks to the Huffington Post (here), two new pics of Jake Gyllenhaal in the Prince of Persia:

(Click on a poster to enlarge it.)

Jake Gyllenhaal - Prince of Persia Jake Gyllenhaal - POP The Sands of Time

There is no denying that Jake Gyllenhaal has really changed since his role in Donnie Darko: he’s become a really handsome man, that most girls would dream to hang out with I’m sure. Being bald I have more empathy with characters like Dr. Manhattan, but I bet that the hairy jake Gyllenhaal will amaze us with his interpretation of Prince Dastan.

The movie Prince of Persia, directed by Mike Newell, is expected to be released end of May 2010.

Cloverfield 2 Movie

Cloverfield II movie - Cloverfield SequelDuring the last WonderCon J.J. Abrams was asked about his intention regarding a possible movie sequel to Cloverfield. And to the fans’ pleasure he did confirm that he’s definitely working on something:

Cloverfield 2 Movie JJ Abrams

JJ Abrams talks about Cloverfield II

“We’re actually working on an idea right now… The key obviously at doing any kind of sequel, certainly this film included, is that it better not be a business decision. If you’re going to do something, it should be because you’re really inspired to do it. It doesn’t really have to mean anything, doesn’t mean it will work, but it means we did it because we cared, not because we thought we could get the bucks.

We have an idea that we thought was pretty cool that we’re playing with, which means there will be something that’s connected to Cloverfield, but I hope it happens sooner than later because the idea is pretty sweet.”

Producer J.J. Abrams
at the Star Trek panel at WonderCon 2009


It seems more and more unlikely that we will have a straight sequel. Looks like J.J Abrams and Matt Reeves have something really special in mind for Cloverfield 2. Abrams says that their idea is “pretty sweet” maybe just a teaser catch… But I believe they could deliver something like that with Cloverfield 2: Abrams and Reeves are both damn talented.

Any idea about what Cloverfield II should look like? Got any suggestion for Producer J.J. Abrams and Director Matt Reeves?

Terminator Triptic Poster

Terminator Salvation is the working title of the fourth Terminator movie, directed by McG and starring Christian Bale in the lead role as John Connor and Sma Worthington as a cyborg who strongly believes to be human. Here below a triptic poster of Terminator 4:

Terminator SalvationFrom left to right: Christian Bale as John Connor, Terminator robot, Sam Worthington as Marcus Wright

If Skynet (the evil network aiming at annihilating mankind) was to become real nowadays, it wouldn’t be based on military installations, it would rather rise from the civilian cloud that’s currently building up. And rather than Skynet, we would probably call it Google AI…
;-P

Wolverine Movie

Wolverine Movie on May 1rst, 2009The latest Wolverine trailer will definitely convince you that the movie will be awesome if you were not yet a believer:

Wolverine Movie Trailer

Hugh Jackman had a double hat on this new Wolverine movie: he was both lead actor and producer. So, it was an ideal occasion for him to put forward his vision of Wolverine which is much closer to the comic canon than what we may have seen in the previous X-Men movies:

Hugh Jackman

“I’m not mad about it, but I thought he had gotten a bit soft. I thought we had gotten away from the essence of who Wolverine really is: a bad (dude) who wants to live his own life.
[…]
The character has always reminded me of Dirty Harry or Han Solo. He’s a good guy, not a nice guy. He’s got a lot of flaws, which I think is what people find so attractive about him and the X-Men. He’s struggling with who he is and what he wants. He was one of the comics’ first anti-heroes.”

Hugh Jackman
(via USA Today, here.)


Hugh Jackman is epitomizing the role of Logan / Wolverine to such an extent, that if I ever meet him I’d almost expect him to show me his adamantium claws. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine rules!

Dakota Fanning as Jane in New Moon

Dakota Fanning as Jane in New MoonAcclaimed actress Dakota Fanning has officially joined the cast and will play the Volturi Jane in the Twilight Saga New Moon. The rumor was online since a long, but nice to have an official confirmation from Summit Entertainment.

In the universe of Twilight, the Volturi are like law enforcers among the Vampires: they are much respected, end even feared because of their mind control tricks

So Dakota Fanning will play the role of Jane, one of the prize members of the Volturi Guard and one of their highest ranking guards, a sadistic person and a pet of Aro a former Volturi leader. She seems rather bitter and easily justifies inflicting pain on anyone with her power. Jane has a twin brother named Alec and they both reside in Volterra, Italy.

Here below an interview of Dakota Fanning about her role as Jane (it was made just before she was confirmed for the role):

Good that they chose Dakota Fanning: I think that this young-but-well-experienced actress is a nice addition to the cast of this New Moon movie.

Here’s a first look at Dakota Fanning as Jane:

Public Enemies Trailer

Johnny Depp vs. Christian Bale - Public EnemiesJohnny Depp’s career may have started with the role of a cop in 21 Jump Street, but it seems that ditch this early character for more villainous roles afterward: being a pirate in POTC, a serial killer in Sweeney Todd. He confirms his interest for dark characters in Public Enemies in which he plays the role of John Dillinger the gangster from the 1930s. Here below the first official trailer of Public Enemies:

Public Enemies Movie Trailer

Christian Bale on the other hand sticks to to the lawful side with roles like Batman, John Connor in Terminator, and FBI Agent Purvis in Public Enemies.

That’s probably why Johnny Depp is way better than Christian Bale!

Mad Max 4 Movie

Mad Max 4 MovieDirector George Miller is considering to develop Mad Max 4 as an animated movie. Such a move would increase the odds of a fourth Mad Max movie to come out. Miller has been facing so many hurdles since his first attempt to produce Mad Max 4 in 2003: financial hurdle, Mel Gibson stating that he wouldn’t reprise his role and so on… So going animated would be a way out for Miller: an animated movie costs indeed less to produce and Miller could get rid of Mel Gibson, a former great actor who had the lead role in Mad Max but who since turned into a religious zealot.

Mad Max 4 Movie Trailer

The universe of Mad Max is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which oil has become so scarce that people are ready to kill for it and in which civilization has collapsed, giving a free reign to barbarous gangs of road punks. Just watch this original trailer of the movie Mad Max:

Miller is likely to call Japanese talents to help to develop Mad Max 4:

George Miller

The anime is an opportunity for me to shift a little bit about what anime is doing because anime is ripe for an adjustment or sea change. It’s coming in games and I believe it’s the same in anime. There’s going to be a hybrid anime where it shifts more towards Western sensibilities. [Japanese filmmaker Akira] Kurosawa was able to bridge that gap between the Japanese sensibilities and the West and make those definitive films.
[…]I’ve always loved anime, in particular the Japanese sensibility. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do.

George Miller

Quite glad that Mad Max is going to integrate a manga dimension. Much better perspective than a Mad Max 4 movie with an old Mel Gibson!

Half Blood Prince Movie

Harry Potter 6 MemoryThe upcoming movie Harry Potter 6 will unveil the origins of Lord Voldemort, we will learn how he fell for the dark side. The flashback will be introduced to Harry potter thanks to Dumbledore’s memory capsules. Here below the latest trailer of Harry Potter and the half Blood Prince:

Harry Potter Half Blood Prince Movie Trailer

The production team behind Harry Potter does not mind some nepotism: Hero Fiennes-Tiffin who plays the role of Tom Riddle, the child who becomes Lord Voldemort, is actually the 10-year-old nephew of Ralph Fiennes, who played the adult Voldemort in previous Harry Potter movies.
