Director Guy Ritchie is working on a new movie adaptation Sherlock Holmes, the fictional detective created more than a century ago by Arthur Conan Doyle. Guy Ritchie wants to bring Sherlock Holmes back in his heyday, when the fictional detective was epitomizing adventure and a sense of danger: Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, interpreted by Robert Downey Jr., is literally kick-ass. Just check those two official pictures (via FirstShowing) of the upcoming Sherlock Holmes movie:

Sherlock Holmes is not only a great detective but he his also a marvelous martial-arts expert. And this take on Sherlock Holmes is actually respecting the orignal source material. Indeed, it is Arthur Conan Doyle who described Sherlock Holmes as an expert in Bartitsu, an eclectic martial art and self-defense method originally developed in England during the years 1898-1902. Take a look to this montage of Bartitsu self defence techniques:

Bartitsu looks rather kitsch nowadays… But I suppose that Robert Downey Jr. will surprise us a usual in his role as Sherlock Holmes.
;-P

A full-length version of the Knowing movie trailer has been released:

Nicolas cage Knowing Movie Trailer

KNOWING

There is a pattern to predicting the future.
There is an order to our deepest fears.

From the director of I

How do you protect who you love from everything you know?

The movie Knowing is directed by Nicolas Cage and is starring Nicolas in the lead role.

Those bogeymen in the shadow are freaking me out a bit: they look like the villains from The Strangers… I can also but think of the TV series the 4400 after watching this Knowing trailer: could those bogeymen be some messengers from a devastated future trying to prevent a cataclysmic catastrophe to happen? What do you think?

Julia Roberts and Clive Owen are starring in Duplicity, an upcoming spy thriller movie directed by Tony Gilroy:

Duplicity Movie

DUPLICITY

Outwit. Outspy. Outsmart. Outplay. Then get out.

This poster plays on the stereotype of spies wearing dark sunglasses. Where does this stereotype come from by the way?

Anyway, Duplicity is a nice movie that’s not without humor. And it’s a must watch because of Julia Robert, Such a pretty woman, isn’t she?

We’ve got our hands on a new preview clip of Lost Season 5:

Lost Season 5 Preview Clip

Kate & Aaron – Sneak Peek Episode 1, Because You Left – Lost Season 5
Kate (Evangeline Lilly) freaks out when a lawyer knocks at her door asking for blood samples of her and and her son to check if she’s the real mother.

Kate is too impulsive… Her erratic behavior just bring more problems most of the time. She needs to calm down…

Any idea about who sent the lawyer? Is it some plot by Ben and Jack to convince Kate to go back to the Island? Lost season 5 is going to be awesome.

We get a batch of posters of Dragonball Evolution thanks to IGN :

Dragonball Evolution

(Click on the poster to enlarge it.)

I’m really enthusiast for this movie. One thing could help to watch it though: Master Roshy (Chow Yun-Fat) being as naughty in the movie as he is in the manga! But that’s probably not the case…

Let’s look how great Master Roshi was in the animated Dragonball series: Continue reading »

So may think that Clint Eastwood is a grumpy old man, but he is still kicking and alive. Check this new Gran Torino clip :

Gran Torino Preview Clip

Mitch (Brian Haley) and his wife Karen (Geraldine Hughes) try to talk his father Walt (Clint Eastwood) into moving out of his house.

Don’t bug the grumpy old man: he’s got a Gran Torino, and that’s all he needs!

DEFIANCE

Courage is the ultimate weapon.

Courage and determination are their ultimate weapons to counter the Nazi persecution in the forests of Eastern Europe during World War II. The movie Defiance is a tale of courage and humanity.

You may watch below the latest trailer of the season 3 of Kyle XY, a sci-fi TV show shown on ABC:

Kyle XY Season 3 New Trailer and New Girlfriend?

Kyle and Amanda are maybe kissing in this trailer, but according to the Kyle XY season 3 episode list they’re going to break up between the third and the fourth episode. So there is hope to see Kyle hooking with Jessi. Do you like this idea?

Director Joe Johnston’s Wolfman movie which is starring Benicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins is pushed back from April 3 to November 6, 2009.

That’s probably to get more time for post-production.

Watch below the bootleg Japanese movie trailer of Dragonball Evolution that just leaked online:

Dragonball Evolution Movie Trailer

DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION MOVIE TRAILER

Too bad that changing the name of the movie does not make it any better… Can brings your toddlers watch the movie: it’s flashy and colorful… But nothing much to expect from the movie. And their last reshoots won’t save it at all… I mean that’s not Dragonball, it’s not faithful at all to the original manga.

I suggest a soap brand to sponsor the movie, they have nothing to lose from it now.

How sad… Let’s hope that a new Christoper Nolan will reboot Dragonball in the next few years…

If you were hoping for a movie trailer of Transformers 2 before the end of this year, then you will be as disappointed as I am right now: Director Michael Bay announced through his official site (here) that the trailer of Transformers 2, aka Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, will be released only in February 2009, and if lucky during the Superbowl 2009:

Transformers 2 Movie

“Hey everyone. Back from Egypt and Jordan – we had a wonderful shoot over there. I will miss the crew they were an amazing bunch of people and a lot of fun.

I’m stuck in the edit room up to my eye balls – also finished producing Friday the 13th and The Unborn – coming out the after the new year. Our Trailer for Transformer you have been asking about – First there will be a teaser poster soon after the new year, and the teaser trailer will be out either in the theaters early February or on the Superbowl. Cannot decide yet. I’m going to release some set stills on this site in a few weeks. I’ll keep you informed. Going back to do more selects now from my portable avid that I take home from work. It’s late, see you.”

Michael Bay

If only Shia Labeouf didn’t have this stupid accident filming would have been wrapped earlier and a Transformer 2 trailer would have been released in due time… But well, if they’re going to air the trailer during the Superbowl 2009 then sign me up! I even think I’m becoming more attached to the Superbowl and its commercials than to Christmas… Hey, God will understand, I’m sure he’s a geek too for tweaking with DNA in the first place!

Update: It’s been confirmed that the trailer will air during the Super Bowl: Transformers 2 Superbowl

We now have the official US movie trailer of Terminator 4. This version is rather different from the Japanese trailer that previously leaked online. So we get some more footage of Terminator Salvation:

Terminator Salvation Trailer

Terminator 4

Christian bale and Sam Worthington are both starring in Terminator 4, aka Terminator Salvation. Christian Bale is playing the role of John Connor, the man whose destiny has long been to save Mankind. But so far we have only sparse details about Sam Worthington’s role. And the new Terminator trailer would let us think that he’s working for the machines…

A lot to discover with Terminator 4!
