We’ve got a batch of pictures of The Code, aka Thick as Thieves, upcoming movie directed by Mimi Leder and starring Morgan Freeman, Antonio Banderas, and the sweet Radha Mitchell:

It’s hard to believe that Antonio Banderas is playing the role of the “young” thief… Well, at least he’s quite thick (sign of age?)…
;-P
Last February Ryan Reynolds was surrounded by beautiful women in Definitely Maybe. This year, he’s got a proposal he can’t refuse that’s coming from the pretty Sandra Bullock. Take a look to this extended movie trailer of The Proposal:
I’ll go with my wife watch this romantic comedy: I’ll tell that’s for having some time with her, but actually I’d go alone to watch the Proposal if she wasn’t interested in the movie!
;-P
Here below a second poster for Angels and demons, upcoming movie directed by Ron Howard which is a prequel to the Da Vinci Code:
This statue would be damn fine in my garden! But better to keep it in Rome.
;-P
The release of the movie Watchmen will probably be postponed… Greedy Fox is quite jealous of Warner Bros’ success and recently asked a judge to block the release! What a negative buzz for 20th Century Fox… But even if the movie is delayed and Fox happens to prevail at the end, I would still go see the Watchmen. Damn this movie looks too awesome for one to miss it! Just have a look to this Watchmen featurette in which Director Zack Snyder gives an overview of the movie and in which he presents the characters of the Watchmen universe:
Below the cast and the respective roles:
– Jackie Earle Haley as Walter Kovacs / Rorschach: A superhero who continues his vigilante activities after they are outlawed. He was transformed over time from a “soft” costumed hero into a killer who sees the world in black and white.
– Malin Akerman as Laurie Juspeczyk / Silk Spectre: A retired vigilante superheroine. Akerman described her character as the psychology and the emotion of the film due to being the only woman among the men.
– Billy Crudup as Dr. Jon Osterman / Doctor Manhattan: A superhero with genuine powers who works for the U.S. government.
– Matthew Goode as Adrian Veidt / Ozymandias: A retired vigilante superhero who has since made his identity public.
– Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Edward Blake / The Comedian: A vigilante superhero who is commissioned by the U.S. government.
– Stephen McHattie as Hollis Mason: The first vigilante to take up the mantle of Nite Owl.
– Carla Gugino as Sally Jupiter: A retired vigilante superheroine, mother of Laurie Juspeczyk and the first Silk Spectre.
– Matt Frewer as Edgar Jacobi / Moloch the Mystic: An elderly rehabilitated criminal, known when he was younger as an underworld kingpin and magician.
– Niall Matter as Mothman: He is not a main focus of the storyline, but appears in flashbacks, at one point reduced in his later years to fragile sanity, unnerving the second Silk Spectre. He is regarded fondly by most of the Minutemen, and the first Nite Owl sends the second to visit him, uncostumed, on his behalf.
– Dan Payne as Dollar Bill: A first-generation crimefighter who caught his cape in a revolving door during a bank robbery and was shot to death.
– Danny Woodburn as “The Big Figure”: A dwarf crime boss whom Rorschach put in prison.
Director Zack Snyder made a hell of a job on this movie. Let’s pray for Fox and WB to reach an agreement as soon as possible: we are all waiting for the Watchmen!

A US poster has been unveiled for Street Fighter The Legend of Chun-Li:
STREET FIGHTERSome fight for power.
Some fight for us.
This Chun-Li movie poster does not look that bad, but it’s not outstanding either… I have the impression they’re marketing this movie like a basic action-fight movie, let’s say like if it they were promoting a basic MMA movie like Never back Down. But that’s a Street Fighter movie for God’s sake! The source material is well known, there is a large fan base, so they could make an effort to produce a better poster… For a start I’d suggest to switch back to a yellow-orange logo instead of this blue title…
;-P
I should have asked a Segway last Christmas because Paul Blart the mall cop (Kevin James) seems to have a lot of fun riding one of those engines in this preview clip of the upcoming comedy movie Paul Blart Mall Cop:
Lately Segway is getting some good coverage from Hollywood, before Mall Cop, it was John Favreau director of Iron man who was riding this electric vehicle (–> Jon Favreau loves his Segway).
Below a second clip of Paul Blart Mall Cop:
Paul Blart (Kevin James) must have been trained by James Bond himself!

Sci-fi blog Io9 (here) made my day with some great news about Battlestar Galactica. It’s actually Ron Moore confirming that crucial answers will be given in the final episodes of Battlestar Galactica:
The origin and nature of the Final Four and how they different from the rest of them?
Yes.
The origin of the rest of the skinjobs?
Yes.
What happened to Earth and what happened to the 13th Colony?
Yes.
Who, if anyone, is orchestrating all of this?
Basically, yeah. I don’t know if it’s going to be wrapped up in a neat bow. The show has an answer for it, whether it’s a satisfying answer, I don’t know.
Will “All this has happened before and it will happen again” be explained in some way?
Yes.
The opera house?
Yes.
What happened to Kara when she went through the Malestrom?
Pretty much.
Identity and nature of the “head” characters?
Yes.
Tigh and Six’s baby, and whether that means Cylons can breed?
Yes. That’s not a “yes” to whether they can breed — the question will be answered.
The fate of Boomer and whether there are other 1’s, 4’s and 5’s floating out there?
Yes.
Roslin’s health?
Yes.
Okay, that’s a “yes” on all of them.
See? We knew what all the questions were! I’m kind of proud of myself. “Yes”es to all of them. I thought you were going to throw a curve at me, like, “Oh, (bleep).”
Besides discovering who is the final cylon I really appreciate the fact that an explanation to Six’s pregnancy: the old Adama thinks Tigh is the father, but Tigh is cylon and the rule goes that Cylon can’t interbreed…. So Im a bit lost… Maybe the child is Baltar’s?
BSG shall come back on January 16, 2009.

Even before the first movie was out there were rumors of a sequel to Cloverfield. And since the firs film has been released fans of the shaky-cam monster movie are really hopping to see Cloverfield 2 one day.
Still dreaming of the previous viral campaigns launched to promote Cloverfield, fans are trying to catch signs of the new sequel online. But that would be in vain for now. Indeed both Producer J.J. Abrams and Director Matt Reeves aren’t yet decided about what direction Cloverfield 2 should take….
They gave some hints though:
If it’s not a literal sequel then it’ probably a retelling of the central story or some yet-unexplored backstory that would shed a new light on the events.
But I still think that a “traditional” sequel is still likely. And some doors are definitely opened for this:
– at the end scene on Coney Island shows something falls into the ocean in the background (in the far right from the view out of the ferris wheel, a bit left of a boat sitting in the water seen falling just as the camera beeps).
– at the very end of the credits, someone can be heard whispering “Help us”. And if you reverse it, you could hear: “It’s still alive.”
If you were able J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves about what direction to follow for Cloverfield II, what would you recommend?

Some new pictures of Hugh Jackman as Logan, aka Wolverine:

Hugh Jackman really epitomizes Wolverine by now: hard to imagine any other actor taking over the role. If I ever meet Jackman in the street I’d almost expect to see him showing off his adamantium claws!
;-P
What would you do if a threatening man wearing a gas mask and holding a pickaxe would be heading toward you? I bet you would run away like those kids in this clip of My Bloody Valentine (I know would run twice as fast…):
My Bloody Valentine Preview Clip
I’m afraid that kids, inspired by the movie My Bloody Valentine 3D, start to wear gas masks next Halloween: it would freak me out a bit…
;-P
Director Michael Mann must have heard about Christian Bale’s sneakiness (Bale has been sneaky more often than not in Batman and it seems he is also getting sneaky in Terminator 4!) because we’ve got a new picture of Christian Bale in a sneaky position in a scene of Public Enemies has popped up:
In Public Enemies Christian Bale is Melvin Purvis, an FBI agent chosen by J. Edgar Hoover to lead a manhunt to catch Dillinger the gangster (Johnny Depp).

Dreamworks has released a second trailer of Monster vs Aliens:

Susan Murphy (aka Ginormica): I think I just got hit by a meteorite…
Some ugly aliens want to invade our dear planet. But fortunately the government is smart enough to hire some funny monsters to protect the children of Earth!

Ginormica, Dr. Cockroach Ph.D., Bob, The Missing Link team up to fight against Gallaxar!
