Viggo Mortensen (who is also starring in The Road) is interpreting the lead role in the movie Good, a movie exploring the life of a normal German citizen who is embroiled in the Nazi scheme without really understanding the consequences… The movie Good, based on the stage play of the same name written by C. P. Taylor, is directed by Vicente Amorim. It is starring Jason Isaacs and Mark Strong besides Viggo Mortensen. Good is expected to be released on January 1, 2009.
Below the first official movie trailer of Good
There are moments that change our lives forever
There are choices that make us who we are
There is a point of no return…
Viggo Mortensen, Jason Isaacs
GOOD
Plot:
“The rise of national socialism in Germany should not be regarded as a conspiracy of madmen. Millions of ‘good’ people found themselves in a society spiraling into terrible chaos.
John Halder (Mortensen) is one those “good” and is a decent individual with family problems: a neurotic wife, two demanding children and a mother suffering from senile dementia. A literary professor, Halder explores his personal circumstances in a novel advocating compassionate euthanasia. When the book is unexpectedly enlisted by powerful political figures in support of government propaganda, Halder finds his career rising in an optimistic current of nationalism and prosperity. Seemingly inconsequential decisions lead to choices, which lead to more choices… with eventually devastating effect.”
I think I’m becoming found of Viggo Mortensen and his movies! His acting in Good sounds really credible. It makes the story damned real and makes you feel the dilemma the character is facing. An inner struggle that people are sadly still experiencing nowadays, just think of Kossovo, Darfur and others…
And to quote IMDb: “Good is film about then, which illuminates the terrors of now.”

A picture of Taylor Kitsch as Gambit in the upcoming Wolverine movie, via Empire (the January 2009 issue is a must have!):
Many are craving for a spin-off movie dedicated to gambit, but I’m not fan of the character. The idea of a stand-alone Gambit movie with Taylor Kitsch in the lead role would make the thing even less appealing… It would be definitely better if they keep their financial resources for Wolverine 2.
So let’s focus on a real Marvel hero: Wolverine!
If by any chance you know some Fox executives tell them to forget about the Gambit movie, and bring Wolverine 2!

A new poster for Valkyrie, upcoming World War 2 movie directed by Bryan Singer and starring Tom Cruise as Colonel Stauffenberg the German officer who unsuccessfully tried to assassinate the evil Hitler:
The plan is…
VALKYRIE
Based on the unknown true story
There are some missed opportunities throughout History for sure! Still, Operation Valkyrie, even if unsuccessful, is worth a movie: it gives a more tangible ground to the fact that Germany was not all Nazi.

The first Wolverine is maybe not yet out but get ready for Wolverine 2. In a recent interview given to MTV (here) Hugh Jackman, who plays the role Logan aka Wolverine in the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie, has talked about the direction a Wolverine sequel may take:

Below a transcript where he talks about what should be done in the Wolverine movie sequel:
I totally agree with Hugh Jackman: the Japan plot sounds damned appealing! I really want this japan story to go through for the Wolverine sequel.

Michael Mann is working on Public Enemies, a new gangster period movie starring Christian Bale and Johnny Depp respectively as FBI agent Melvin Purvis and Gangster John Dillinger. Take a look to those pictures of the movie Public Enemies:

Take your side: are you with the Dark Knight or with Jack Sparrow?
In real life I’d sign for sending John Dilinger to the electric chair, but in this movie, I can but take his side if his role is played by Johnny Depp: Depp is a so much better actor than Christian Bale!
Don’t miss the movie Public Enemies in July 2009!

Adoration is an upcoming drama movie directed by Atom Egoyan. The film is starring Rachel Blanchard, Scott Speedman, and Devon Bostick. Adoration is slated for a limited release on May 8, 2009.
The film was first shown in May 2008 at the Cannes Film Festival. Adoration won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury and was nominated for the Palme d’Or.
Here below the first official trailer of the movie Adoration:
Plot:
“An adolescent, Simon, reinvents his life on the Internet by recreating his life around two historical figures. His story provokes strong reactions throughout the world. Cyberspace is a forum for victims. But is it a place for redemption?”
The plot sounds a bit too intricate to me, but the soundtrack of the movie, if as well chosen as in this trailer of Adoration, could get me into following the kid trying to learn the truth and discover things.
Director Atom Egoyan seems intrigued by the potential uses and abuses of technology. We may see the teenager having video chat sessions: just hope that Director Erdogan does not abuse of this plot gimmick in the movie Adoration.

I just spotted a beautiful black and white picture of John Hillcoat‘s The Road, an upcoming post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie starring Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee:
For Viggo Mortensen , The Road is more than bleak imagery:
I totally agree with Viggo Mortensen! But maybe as a father I’m positively biased for the movie The Road!

New in Town is an upcoming romantic comedy movie directed by Jonas Elmer. The film stars Renée Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr.. New In Town should be released on January 30, 2009.
New In Town
Plot:
“Lucy Hill (Renee Zellweger) is an ambitious, up and coming executive living in Miami. She loves her shoes, she loves her cars and she loves climbing the corporate ladder. When she is offered a temporary assignment in a town in Minnesota – in the middle of nowhere – to restructure a manufacturing plant, she jumps at the opportunity, knowing that a big promotion is close at hand. What begins as a straight forward job assignment becomes a life changing experience as Lucy discovers greater meaning in her life and most unexpectedly, the man of her dreams (Harry Connick, Jr.).”
A sophisticated girl from the city, newly arrived to a small country town, gets in love with a local countrified chap: that’s cliché! And the the plot is set in Minnesota, but the movie was actually filmed in Winnipeg and Selkirk, Canada…
But Renee Zellweger looks so sweet in her role that one can but forgive the flaws of the movie New In Town.
What about you: any interest in New In Town?

Director Guillermo Del Toro knows he’s been entrusted a real responsibility with the movie adaptation of The Hobbit, check those interviews made a while ago:
Hobbit by Director Guillermo del Toro
We are all longing for a new movie saga based on J.R.R. Tolkien‘s fantasy novels! Let’s hope that Guillermo Del Toro will bring us a great Hobbit movie! 2011, the scheduled year of release for the Hobbit movie, seems so far suddenly!

Woody Allen is studying love further, in his own way, with Whatever Works, a new romance comedy movie. The film, written and directed by Woody Allen, is starring Larry David, Patricia Clarkson and Evan Rachel Wood. It is scheduled to be released in early 2009.
Here below a first look at the movie Whatever Works:

Plot:
“Whatever Works revolves around an eccentric man (Larry David) taken into a series of adventures and encounters with his friends from Greenwich, a young woman from the South (Evan Rachel Wood), and her parents.”
Below the trailer of Whatever Works:
I’m dying! I mean, not now… Eventually!
The movie was filmed in New York City: it marks the return of Woody Allen to the city of his heart after a four film sojourn in Europe. And judging from those pictures of the movie Whatever Works he is going to film the real New York.
Real people, real world, and a funny twisted story; that’s the very fabric of Woody Allen’s movies. With this surprising director Whatever works!
