Describing a post-apocalyptic future must be trendy: there is a a new independent movie titled White Wall that’s presenting a bleak world in which almost all of Mankind seems to have been wiped out by some mysterious virus following a war. The movie White Wall is directed by James Boss.

Upon seeing the director listed in the cast of his own movie I started to think it was but a low budget sci-fi movie. Fortunately I went to the official site and I must admit that I am now caught in the universe of White Wall. I strongly recommend to visit the official site of White Wall (here).

To convince you, just have a look to this first official teaser trailer of White Wall:

Plot:
“A virus has decimated humanity and left the world in squalor and full of violence. Shawn Kors world is confined to a large white wall and he looks for a way out and a cure to the virus, VXII, until he gets close to the truth.
Set in a wasteland enclosed by a large white wall, the last survivor from a brutal child internment camp reluctantly takes on one final bounty hunting job to protect the idyllic life he has rebuilt.”

Here below two stills from the movie (via Quiet Earth):

The movie looks like an artistic take on a potential post-apocalyptic future. Director James Boss shows a real creativity. If the acting is good enough to translate the universe we have a glimpse of on the official site, White Wall could become a cult movie or at least, be a stepping stone for James Boss’ career as film director.

The movie should be released in 2009. No official date yet though, not even sure it will have a theatrical release, but would be great to see this in a theater.

The January 2009 issue of Empire Magazine will definitely be worth buying: besides the Wolverine cover, there is a first look at Christian Bale and Johnny Depp in the movie Public Enemies.

Plot:
“The Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s.” (Source: IMDb)

The movie Public Enemies is directed by Michael Mann and should be released on July 1, 2009. Let’s have a closer look to the cast of Public Enemies:

Cast:
– Johnny Depp as John Dillinger: An American bank robber whose exploits dominated the press during what is sometimes referred to as the public enemy era, between 1931 and 1935.
– Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis: An FBI agent chosen by J. Edgar Hoover to lead a manhunt to catch Dillinger.
– Marion Cotillard as Billie Frechette: Dillinger’s torch singer girlfriend.
– Channing Tatum as Pretty Boy Floyd: An American bank robber and alleged killer.

Public Enemies has an impressive cast. I hope Director Michael Mann has been able to manage such a cast to give us a great period gangster movie.

Director Robert Luketic (legally Blonde) is bringing us a new romantic comedy movie titled The Ugly Truth. It is starring Gerard Butler, Katherine Heigl, Cheryl Hines and Bonnie Somerville. The Ugly Truth movie should be released on April 3, 2009 July 24, 2009.

Here below the first official trailer of The Ugly Truth:

Plot:
“A romantically challenged morning show producer (Heigl) is reluctantly embroiled in a series of outrageous tests by her chauvinistic correspondent (Butler) to prove his theories on relationships and help her find love. His clever ploys, however, lead to an unexpected result.” (Source: IMDb)

Cast:
– Katherine Heigl as the romantically challenged morning show producer;
– Gerard Butler as her chauvinistic correspondent;
– Cheryl Hines as a co-anchor of the morning show.

What about you like it on top? Right, some easy jokes in The Ugly Truth, but one should not refrain from laughing! Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler are a good match. The Ugly Truth is a nice movie to start Springs before entering in the summer of love!

In case you still don’t know: Battlestar Galactica is a reboot by Producer Ron Moore of a sci-fi series from the 1970’s: where humans aboard spaceships try to survive to relentless attacks by robots called cylons. That’s probably the best sci fi TV show of the last two decade!

Here below a trailer of Battlestar Galactica Season 4 Part 2:

Part 2 of Season 4 will be the last episodes of Battlestar Galactica: the final cylon will be revealed!

Hugh Jackman makes the cover of January 2009 issue of Empire Magazine for his role as Logan aka Wolverine in the movie X-Men Origins Wolverine:

The Marvel hero is going to destroy theater doors with his adamantium claws on May 1, 2009. So get ready for Wolverine the movie!

The Reader, a movie adaptation of the novel of the same name written by Bernhard Schlink, is brought to us by director Stephen Daldry. It should be released in early January 2009.

Here below two posters of The Reader:

The poster currently used for the promotion of the Reader in the USA is the white one, but I prefer the darker version: it would be a much better choice for the Reader!

Director Tony Gilroy brings us a new spy thriller movie titled Duplicity. The story revolves around two corporate spies with a romantic history who collaborate to carry out a complicated con. The film is starring Clive Owen, Julia Roberts, Tom Wilkinson, and Paul Giamatti. Duplicity is scheduled to be released on March 20, 2009.

Here below the first official Duplicity trailer:

Plot:
“Two corporate spies (Owen and Roberts) team up to manipulate a corporate race to corner the market on a medical innovation that will reap huge profits.”

Cast:
– Clive Owen plays a corporate spy for a rival pharmaceutical company;
– Julia Roberts plays a corporate spy for a rival pharmaceutical company;
– Tom Wilkinson plays the CEO of one of the rival companies;
– Paul Giamatti plays the CEO of one of the rival companies.

Trust is a dynamic variable in the world of spies. And it’s even more explosive when love gets in!

The duo Clive Owen / Julia Roberts is rather appealing. And judging from this trailer of Duplicity the movie nicely integrates a comic dimension! Duplicity seems to be a win!

The cinema industry is trying hard to make movie posters interactive. Not so long ago there were talking posters for The Spirit. Now we have a motion poster for Terminator 4 that brings together sound and picture in a nice animation (just click on the poster to launch the animation):

Terminator Salvation Motion Poster

The end begins.

TERMINATOR SALVATION

Terminator 4, aka Terminator Salvation, is due for a release on May 22, 2009.

The future is quite bleak right now: either we all die in 2012 because of giant waves or, we get nuked in 2018 because Skynet’s twisted program!

If only Mankind could settle a colony on the Moon before it’s too late!

Olivier Megaton is the third director to work on a transporter movie after Corey Yuen for the first one and Louis Leterrier the second one. Megaton is actually a nickname, his real being Olivier Fontana. He was called megaton because he was born on the same day as the 20th Hiroshima Commemoration (August 6, 1965).

The nickname must influence his artistic vision: Transporter 3 is gonna blow us way for real! Just check this new Transporter 3 clip featuring an amazing car stunt:

Transporter 3 Preview Clip

Any idea about the soundtrack of this Transporter 3 trailer?

A Wolverine trailer will be official shown in front of The Day The Earth Stood Still in early December. It has just been announced via Coming Soon.

I guess people will rush to theaters with even more enthusiasm! Hey, an awesome movie starring Keanu Reeves, and a trailer of Wolverine starring Hugh Jackman: that’s definitely something not to miss!

I wonder if this new Wolverine movie trailer will be the same as the one that leaked online a while ago… More probably a new Wolverine trailer I think.
:)

A new poster has been unveiled for the movie Taken, directed by Pierre Morel and starring Liam Neeson:

“I don’t know who you are. But if you don’t let my daughter go, I will find you, I will kill you!”

TAKEN

Take a look to; Taken Movie Trailer

The movie Taken was first scheduled for September 2008, but for some mysterious reason it was postponed… Fortunately, a US theatrical release of Taken is still on the agenda: Taken will be released on January 30, 2009.

A new trailer of the upcoming Star Trek movie has been released. Almost the same as the previous one, but with a glimpse of Leonard Nimoy as old Spock at the end!

Looks like Vulcans’ pointy ears get less pointy with age…

The official poster of Notorious, upcoming biopic movie of Notorious B.I.G. the rapper starring Jamal Woolar as B.I.G., has been unveiled:

This movie poster of Notorious reall let you think that this is the original rapper! But of course it is not: his role is played by Jamal Woolar, who is also a rapper by the way.

Josh Flitter who’s playing the son of Ace Ventura (formerly played by Jim Carrey) won’t see a theatrical release of Ace Ventura 3 in which he has the lead role. The production company has indeed gotten cold feet and has decided that a direct-to-DVD release in March would be better.

Anyway, thanks to Cinematical, via Ramasscreen, we finally have a trailer of Ace Ventura Jr Pet Detective, aka Ace Ventura 3:

Ace ventura 3 Movie Trailer

I must admit that the movie does not look that much edifying… but hey, one should not refuse to laugh, even if it’s laughing at the movie itself! So if you get a free DVD of the movie then you should watch Ace ventura 3: the dog in the movie is really worth a look!
