Sulu

Scott

McCoy

Checkov

Dr. McCoy was my favorite character in Star Trek TOS! But those second roles were all actually very important for the show.

There must have been a lot of rework since the latest screening description, because the 10 seconds of this GI Joe trailer are explosively appealing!

Terminator Salvation Movie

The new Terminator movie, Terminator 4 aka Terminator Salvation, is starring Christian Bale in the lead role. And the post-apocalyptic opus is directed by McG. Thanks to Wired we got some new gorgeous concept arts, the interview of McG is worth reading. Here an extract:

“The first film shows Schwarzenegger’s T-800 coming from 2029 back in time […] Salvation takes place in 2018, so you see the R&D that went into the T-800. It’s like the polio vaccine: You’ve got to go through a lot of lab rats to get to vaccine. In this film, humans are the lab rats. Skynet is testing on us to figure out how to make a photorealistic, leaner, smaller, more capable machine — the T-800.”

I’m impressed by McG’s take on Terminator 4! It’s gonna be awesome!

Hugh Jackman Wolverine Movie

Fox is lucky to have Hugh Jackman as Logan aka Wolverine. He definitely epitomizes the uncontrollable mutant by now! Just take a look to this poster if you aren’t convinced yet:

Hugh Jackman Wolverine Movie

This Wolverine movie dwells on the early life of Logan aka Wolverine. Project Weapon X is going to enrol him by force and will infuse his skeleton with adamantium, the indestructible alloy.

Do you think that the Hugh Jackman tries to use the adamantium claws of his Marvel avatar when getting mad at people? Maybe he does unconsciously! I know I would (maybe I do already…).

Taken Movie

Liam Neeson in action movie TAKENThe action movie Taken, directed by Pierre Morel based on a script by Luc Besson and starring Liam Neeson in the lead role, is opening this Friday 30th. Take a look to this final trailer of Taken:

Taken Final Trailer

That’s a damn good action movie, damn worth seeing I think. If you are a daddy with kids, especially if you have a daughter, and that you love action movies, go see the movie Taken in the nearest theater!

Sylvester Stallone Rambo 5

The fact that a Rambo 5 is under negotiation is nothing new. But it is nice to have a direct confirmation from Sylvester Stallone himself. He broke the news on Extra, an entertainment magazine owned by Warner Bros, that a Rambo V movie is indeed ahead:
Rambo 5 - Sylvester Stallone

“Yeah, we are doing another ‘Rambo’, but the conflict is whether to do it in America or a foreign country.”

Sylvester Stallone

So we may expect a Rambo 5 movie in two or three years from now. No need to worry about Sly, he is still kicking and alive: just look a this picture of Stallone at 62 years old! He is incredibly fit for his age!

So let’s pray that filming of Rambo V will kick start soon!

Race to Witch Mountain Superbowl Trailer

Race to Witch Mountain Superbowl 2009Walt Disney Pictures has enrolled Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, to take care of two young aliens in the upcoming sci-fi adventure movie Race To Witch Mountain. To avoid being crushed or ignored in the cluster of movie trailers that will be shown during the Super Bowl 2009, Disney has opted for an early start of its Superbowl trailer of Race to Witch Mountain:

Some may think that race to Witch Mountain is a sci-fi movie for teens but I do wait for this movie with impatience!

Battle for Terra

Battle for TerraLionsgate and Roadside Attractions have acquired U.S. rights to the sci-fi animated movie Terra. The movie, which seems to be retitled Battle for Terra, will be released on May 1.

Despite many awards the film took time to get a theatrical release: it’s probably because most distribution companies were too lazy to try to find an original way to market Battle for Terra. It’s an animated movie, but real issues are raised, and in Battle for Terra the world isn’t black or white: it’s a mix of both like in real life.

Battle for Terra Trailer

Plot – Synopsis:
“Mala (Evan Rachel Wood) is a precocious girl living on the beautiful planet Terra, a place where peace and tolerance are celebrated. However, the last inhabitants of Earth have exhausted the resources of their planet and are now searching for a new home. This Earthforce has discovered that the use of a Terraformer will make Terra habitable for humans but poisonous for Terrians. When the Earthlings embark on a hostile invasion of Terra, Mala’s father, Roven (Dennis Quaid), is kidnapped. Hoping to save her father, Mala captures and hides a crashed human pilot named Jim (Luke Wilson). While Mala nurses Jim back to health, the two forge a friendship and a plan that could save both the human race and the planet of Terra.”

I hope that the movie Battle for Terra will get a wide release!

Inglourious Basterds Movie

Inglourious Basterds is the correctly misspelled title of Quentin Tarantino‘s latest movie. The film is inspired by the 1978 movie Inglorious Bastards. Brad Pitt and Melanie Laurent have the lead roles in a very large cast. Quentin Tarantino is working hard in order to premiere the film at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2009, but the official U.S. release is on August 21, 2009.

Inglourious Basterds Movie by Quentin Tarantino

Take a look to this picture of Brad Pitt as Lt. Aldo Raine in the Inglourious Basterds:

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)
Brad Pitt - Inglourious Basterds

Plot:
“Inglourious Basterds begins in German-occupied France, where Shoshanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.
Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as “The Basterds,” Raine’s squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own…”

A group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution? Hey that’s the stance of Liev Schreiber in Defiance!

The movie Inglourious Basterds will probably be as strange and awesome as Kill Bill!

Storm Shadow

This Storm Shadow just looks like John Preston (played by Christian Bale) in the sci-fi movie Equilibrium: his outfit is all white! It would have been better if they had kept the red cobra on the outfit:
