Plot:
“On the eve of WWII, Zurich and Vienna are the setting for a dark tale of sexual and intellectual discovery. Drawn from true-life events, the film takes a glimpse into the turbulent relationships between fledgling psychiatrist Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender), his mentor Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen), and Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley), the troubled but beautiful young woman who comes between them. Into the mix comes Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel), a debauched patient who is determined to push the boundaries.”

Actor Michael Fassbender does look like Carl Jung, but can’t say as much for Viggor Mortensen:

I did like Andrew Garfield’s performance in the movie Boy A. I’m a bit sad that Tobey Maguire won’t reprise his role, but I’m confident that Andrew Garfield will be great in the new Spiderman movie.

Directors Stephen J. Anderson and Don Hall. Burny Mattinson are working on a new Winnie The Pooh movie. Walt Disney Pictures intend to released the film on July 15, 2011.
Don’t expect any CGI, it’s going to be indeed a traditional hand-drawn animated movie.

Winnie The Pooh Trailer

Plot:
“The film will revolve around Winnie The Pooh himself, although there will be a sequence in which Eeyore loses his tail and his friends try various replacements, including a cuckoo clock.”

I’ve never been fan of Winnie the Pooh, but that honey-addicted bear is definitely part of my childhood. So, I think I’ll go watch this Winnie The Pooh movie just out of nostalgia!

Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends.

We’ve heard about a live action movie adaptation of Akira since quite a while, but the project was in development limbo. Well there’s reason to hope again: Warner Bros has hired the Hughes Brothers (who once brought us the Book of Eli) to helm the project. And Screenwriter Albert Torres is working on a new script. So hopefully, we’ll get to watch the movie Akira in a not too distant future.

Akira Movie

Plot:
“The story is set in a neon-lit futuristic post-nuclear war ‘Neo-Manhattan’ where a teen biker gang member is subjected to a government experiment which unleashes his latent powers.”

On one hand I’m sad they they still haven’t released this live-action movie adaptation of Akira, but on the other hand they better take time to do it right, don’t want to the movie Akira to be a let down!
