Summit Entertainment is definitely optimistic regarding its movie adaptation of the Twilight saga written by Stephenie Meyer. The first Twilight movie in 2008 was a real jackpot. So we may understand the keen dedication of the production company to bring New Moon this 2009. Now, dear Twilight fans, fasten your seat belts because Summit is fast-tracking the movie Eclipse, aka Twilight 3: the release date of the movie Eclipse has been set for June 30, 2010!

The full trailer of Twilight 3 Eclipse:

The previous short Eclipse teaser:

More details at: Eclipse Movie Trailer

The word is that Summit is rushing with the adaptation both to compound on the success of the first movie and to lock in a deal with Stephenie Meyer before the value of the franchise skyrockets again.

Plot – Synopsis:

“As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. 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 has one more decision to make: life or death.”

We can bet that the movie will be titled The Twilight Saga Eclipse, following the decision made for New Moon’s title.

New Moon’s director Chris Weitz won’t be helming Twilight 3 because of conflicting schedules: he will be in post-production on New Moon at the same time that Eclipse will start shooting.

But of course Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will be back for this Eclipse movie, respectively as Edward the Vampire, Bella the undecided young lady, and Jacob the newly assumed Werewolf.

What part of Eclipse would you like this Twilight 3 movie to put focus on?

Update as of April 22, 2009: Summit Entertainment has announced that Director David Slade, who once brought us the vampire movie ’30 Days of Night’, will be helming the twilight movie Eclipse. Here’s what David Slade looks like:

Do you think that David Slade is a good choice to direct the movie Eclipse?

Update 1: the first official picture of the Twilight Saga Eclipse has been released!

Aren’t Bella and Edward cute together?

The lucky bastards from Empire Magazine (here) have successfully schemed to get the premiere of the Inglourious Basterds movie posters. There are even three of them, and they’re much more appealing than the previous artwork we received some hours ago:

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS

Once upon a time in Nazi-occupied France…

The New Film by Quentin Tarantino

2009

Such movie posters are sure to become cult! But from the previous trailer I would not have expected such poster for Inglourious Basterds. So I think that violence will go crescendo in the film, somewhat close to the way Kill Bill was done by Quentin Tarantino.
:)

Are you longing for your weekly Stargate fix? It’s quite hard for me since the end of Stargate Atlantis. Fortunately there is a new Stargate Franchise that will keep alive the Stargate dream. The new series is titled Stargate Universe.

Below, thanks to Tijuana a teaser of Stargate Universe that was shown after the end credits of the last Stargate Atlantis episode:

Stargate Universe Teaser Trailer

Stargate Universe will start to air Summer 2009. The sooner the better because I really miss Stargate! So I wait for Stargate Universe with impatience!

A first official poster of Battle for Terra, the upcoming science-fiction 3D animated movie from independent studio MeniThings, has been unveiled:

BATTLE FOR TERRA

The 3D adventure begins May 1st

Plot:
“A peaceful alien planet faces annihilation, as the homeless remainder of the human race sets its eyes on Terra. Mala, a rebellious Terran teenager, will do everything she can to stop it.”

In real life I hope that if Mankind’s survival was at stake we would not hesitate to nuke the aliens from above! The story of Battle for Terra is nice indeed to follow: but Mankind first hey!
;-)

Fellow movie fan Iszaham tipped us about this Korean poster of the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus that surfaced online a week ago:

Doctor Parnassus Movie Poster

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

Too bad I don’t read Korean! Shall tryt o get a translation to better understand this poster of the Doctor Parnassus movie.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is the last movie Heath Ledger was working on before he passed away. Only half of the movie was wrapped when the sad event happened. But Director Terry Giliam wanted to honor the actor’s work, so he has managed to keep Heath Ledger’s scenes by using a plot twist. As a result the role of Tony the conman is shared between Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law.
:)

Ben Stiller is back as a night guard for a second opus Night at the Museum. Here below the latest international trailer of Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian:

Night at The Museum 2 International Trailer

Time does not seem to bring wisdom to the megalomaniac figures of the past…

Looks like Marvel and Director Kenneth Branagh are well decided to bring us a Thor movie. Indeed we’ve got confirmation of their intent thanks to a casting call notice for Thor that leaked online:

Thor Movie Cast

The movie Thor is tentatively scheduled for July 2011.

Do you feel you could be fit enough to handle Thor’s hammer? Or what actor would be the best choice to epitomize the Thunder God? Should we see a brand new actor as the Mighty Thor?
;-)

Here below a title tratment (let’s call it teaser poster) of Inglourious Basterds, the new film of Quentin Trantino:

In the World War II movie Inglourious Basterds Brad Pitt and his team go get some Nazi scalps in enemy territory. Makes me want to play to the old game Wolfenstein 3D!

Twilight 2, the New Moon movie so many fans are waiting for, finally gets its official title: it will be The Twilight Saga New Moon.

The book was just titled New Moon, but Summit Entertainment wants everyone to be able to make the link with the previous Twilight movie even if they didn’t read Stepehenie Meyer’s novel. Hence this new official title on which both hardcore fans and newcomers will agree I am sure.

Twilight Saga New Moon Movie

And below the brand new official logo created “The Twilight Saga NEW MOON”:

The New Moon movie will be released on November 20, 2009. So Twilight fans you’ll get to enjoy New Moon the second movie of the Twilight Saga soon!
:)

Two new posters for the movie DB Evolution:

Yamcha, played by Joon Park, looks like the character from the Dragonball movie the most faithful to the original manga.

Bu Yamcha won’t compensate for the ugly thing I heard about this DB movie: Master Roshi’s personality has been tamed down… I don’t want Master Roshi to be politically correct: I want him to be a lustful old man hunting pretty young women! For God’s sake this was a major characteristic of Roshi! Fox transformed Roshi into karate Kid’s master… And they’re already thinking about Dragonball 2… Please at least give us a real Roshi in this damn DB Evolution movie!
:)

We’ve got a batch of clips of Watchmen, the upcoming movie adaptation directed by Zack Snyder:

Antonio Banderas and Morgan Freeman are partner thieves in The Code, aka Thick as Thieves, an upcoming heist movie:

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“A veteran thief recruits a younger crook to help him pull off one final job in order to repay his debt to the Russian mob. Mitchell plays a temptress whose romantic liaison with a thief (Banderas) threatens to come between him and his partner in crime, her godfather (Freeman).”

They should put Radha Mitchell on the poster of the Code: Banderas and Freeman are still good actors, but well, age isn’t flattering them… But Radha Mitchell is still quite pretty!
:)

Now that Battle for Terra has been picked up, the marketing machine is kicking in in order to promote this amazing science-fiction 3D animated movie produced MeniThings:

Battle for Terra

Director Aristomenis Tsirbas made a hell of job. And the story of Battle for Terra wich looks remarkably well built: it does more than compensate for the CGI, which I must admit does not look as great in a Dreamworks or Pixar movie.

I’m thrilled by Battle for Terra! I strongly recommend you to go watch it! The movie Battle for Terra will hit theaters on May 1, 2009.
:)

We’ve got some more pictures of Matt Damon The Informant, upcoming movie directed by Steven Soderbergh:

It must have been easier for Matt Damon to gain 20-30 pounds in order to look like the doughy Mark Whitacre than for Taylor Lautner to beef up for the role of Jack Black in the upcoming movie New Moon!
