Plot:
“A band of humans are pitted in a battle against a distant planet’s indigenous population.”

Those avatars and those Naavis are maybe blue, but they are no Smurfs: they really look damn great!

Take a look to those pictures of the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, a fantasy movie directed by Terry Glliam, the last movie starring Heath Ledger:

Next year Director Ridley Scott will deliver the movie Robin Hood, his new take on the legendary hero. The film is starring Russell Crowe in the lead role. They’re working hard to produce an amazing movie. Take a look to those behind-the-scenes pictures:

Robin Hood Trailer

Update: here’s the movie trailer of Robin Hood:

ROBIN HOOD

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
The story of an archer (Russell Crowe) in the army of Richard Coeur de Lion who fights against the Norman invaders and becomes the legendary hero known as Robin Hood.”

Russell Crowe holding his bow may not look as badass as Sylvester Stallone as Rambo, but his arrow would be as deadly!

The movie Robin Hood will hit theaters on May 14, 2010.

Actor Denis Quaid got the lead role in Pandorum, an upcoming sci-fi horror movie directed by Christian Alvart. Take a look to those new pictures of Pandorum:

Pandorum Trailer

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“Two astronauts wake to find themselves drifting through space and with no memory of who they are. They believe that they must be the only ones aboard the spacecraft, but can hear sounds coming from its center. Exploring the spacecraft, they encounter several other surviving crewmembers, and the astronauts start to learn that a terrible event has occurred on board which might affect the survival of the entire human race.”

Denis Quaid must be a Star Trek fan: on that Pandorum picture above, he looks like William Shatner’s Kirk on the bridge of the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise!

Some twisted mind (kudos to him!) is pitting the poor Astro Boy against nasty gladiator robots:

I hope this scene closes with metal scraps of destroyed robots scattered all around! But it’s Astro Boy, so I guess it won’t happen…

The Weinstein Company has announced that a third Halloween movie will be produced for next year. Also, Halloween 3 will jump into the 3D bandwagon, but without Rob Zombie. The director won’t be returning for this third opus of a franchise he brought back to life…

The second Halloween movie did not meet expectations… Here’s Mike Myers’ answer to those who were disappointed by the film and who bad-mouthed it:

He’s quite pissed off, so in 2010, with the movie Halloween 3, he’s gonna slash us all in 3D as a revenge!

Mia Wasikowska got the lead role as Alice in the upcoming Alice in Wonderland movie directed by Tim burton. Here’s a new picture:

Beyond the gate, a new world is waiting for Alice!

Gamer is an upcoming badass sci-fi action movie in which Gerard Butler has to play a dangerous game to recover his freedom. Take a below look to this new series of Hi-Res pics of Gamer:

Gamer Trailer

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“GAMER is a high-concept action thriller set in a near future when gaming and entertainment have evolved into a terrifying new hybrid. Humans control other humans in mass-scale, multi-player online games: people play people…for keeps. Mind-control technology is widespread, and at the heart of the controversial games is its creator, reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall). His latest brainchild, the first-person shooter game ‘Slayers’, allows millions to act out their most savage fantasies online in front of a global audience, using real prisoners as avatars with whom they fight to the death.

Kable (300’s Gerard Butler) is the superstar and cult hero of the ultraviolent ‘Slayers’. Kable is controlled by Simon, a young gamer with rock star status who continues to defy all odds by guiding Kable to victory each week. Taken from his family, imprisoned and forced to fight against his will, the modern day gladiator must survive long enough to escape the game to free his family, regain his identity and to save mankind from Castle’s ruthless technology.”

No technology is evil in itself: a technology to control minds like in the movie Gamer could have some useful applications, it could help to reduce recurring criminality for example. But I doubt there would be any organization trustworthy enough to manage the implementation of this mind-control gimmick… Would-be dictators, or just simple twisted minds, would pervert its use. So better this invention never to happen!

John Cameron Mitchell is directing Rabbit Hole, the movie adaptation of David Lindsay-Abaire’s stage play. The movie is starring Nicole Kiman and Aaron Eckhart. It will be released in 2010. Here below a first look at Kidman and Eckhart in the movie Rabbit Hole:

(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)

Plot:
“Life for a happy couple is turned upside down after their young son dies in an accident. Based on a play by David Lindsay-Abaire.”

With such a premise, the movie Rabbit Hole promises to be a powerful drama charged with emotion…

Looks like there will be a Bad Boys 3 movie. Sony Pictures has indeed hired Peter Craig (that’s the same guy who’s writing the script of Cowboy Bebop) to pen the screenplay of a new Bad Boy movie. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are likely to reprise their roles as Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett. And Director Michael Bay may come back to helm the third opus of a movie series that really kick-started his blockbuster career.

“We need ‘Bad Boys 3.’ I was just watching ‘Bad Boys 2’ with my son and I told him you can’t open a movie better. That’s the best movie opening ever!”

Will Smith

More details at: Bad Boys 3 Movie Trailer

But nothing is set in stone yet, so even if all the stakeholders would like to see the original Bad Boys crew to be back for the movie Bad Boys 3, don’t take for granted that they will be back. Bad Boys 3 doesn’t really need Michael Bay, but it wouldn’t be a Bad Boys movie without Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

Personal request to Peter Craig: I’d like to see some hint to Obama in Bad Boys 3!

Anyway, hope we’ll get more details about Bad Boys 3 soon!

Great News today: Rambo 5 has been confirmed by Nu Image/Millennium Films. Sylvester Stallone will starring (of course!) and directing (he did a great job with Rambo 4) this new Rambo movie. And we even have the first synopsis of Rambo 5:

Rambo 5 Plot:
“Rambo 5 revolves around Rambo fighting his way through human traffickers and drug lords to rescue a young girl abducted near the U.S.-Mexico border.”

Don’t expect Rambo 5 to a bloodbath like in the previous film: Sylvester Stallone said not so long ago that they would tame it down a bit so to reach a larger public. Well as long as they keep it Rambo-esque I don’t mind.

Production will start in early 2010. Can’t wait for the movie Rambo 5!

Knight and Day

New promo pictures of the Volturi in Twilight 2, aka Twilight New Moon have been released. Take a look below:

New Moon Movie

(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)

I’m a bit disappointed by Michael Sheen’s Aro: he looks like some a mix between a priest and a corporate guy… On the other hand I’m damn impressed by Cameron Bright as Alec and Dakota Fanning as Jane, those two make great Volturi twins!

A new featurette introducing the Volturi:
