Walt Disney Pictures has enrolled the French electronic-music duo Daft Punk to score Tron 2, the upcoming movie sequel to Tron. I bet those two geeks are damn happy:
I really enjoy their electronic sound (I’m especially fan of the song ‘Around the World’). It would be nice to see them getting some cameo too in Tron 2.
Shouldn’t be that much work to integrate them into the network of Tron 2 after all!

Thanks to Mr. White Mountain Wheels (here) we may have a first look at Gary Oldman in the Book of Eli, an upcoming post-apocalyptic movie, in which he is starring as the chief villain opposing the hero Eli (Denzel Washington):
Also, via IMdDb, an other picture of Denzel Washington as Eli:
Don’t know if it’s because of the recession (scriptwriters were maybe feeling the first signs?) but stories about a bleak future keep popping up since last year. Anyway, still impatient to see the Book of Eli!

The much anticipated Iron Man movie sequel is scheduled to hit theaters on May 7, 2010. So no wonder that Director Jon Favreau and his team are already busy building the set of Iron Man 2. We may have an early look to the set rebuilt for Tony Stark’s house thanks to Jon Favreau who posted the photo on his tweeter account (here, what a geek!):
Iron Man 2 Movie Gets Kick Started
I hope they will start filming Iron Man 2 as soon as possible! Impatient to see how Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) will manage his new status of superhero as he went public.

Filming of Harry Potter 7, aka Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I, is already under works. And thanks to Snitch Seeker (here) here a first glimpse of Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter on the movie set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I:

The story of the last Harry Potter book has been split into two parts for the movie adaptation. So this Harry Potter 7 movie isn’t the end yet fortunately!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I will be released on November 19, 2010, and Part II in Summer 2011.

Mark Strong is playing the role of Lord Blackwood in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movie. Lord Blackwood is the villain of the film. He engages in a battle of wit with Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.).
The picture above (which you may enlarge by clicking on it) is a first glimpse of Mark Strong as Lord Blackwood.
Actor Mark Strong may have talked too much in an interview given to Total Film: he revealed indeed the movie’s ending! Here it is:
He needed to have an element of showmanship about him by virtue of the fact that he’s trying to persuade everyone around him that he’s so in league with the Devil that he’s able to conquer death. I just wanted to make him an equal adversary of Sherlock Holmes.”
What Strong is describing sounds quite close to the final fight between Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes with both being being swept into waterfalls. But still, it just makes more impatient to see the whole thing: what he gave away is no spoiler! I’d rather say that it’s a teaser instead!
Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and Dr. Watson (Jude Law) are ready to confront Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong):
(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)
The movie Sherlock Holmes will be released on Christmas 2009.

Jake Gyllenhaal got the lead role as Prince Dastan in the movie Prince of Persia The Sands of Time an upcoming cinema adaptation of the videogame of the same name created by Jordan Mechner. Here below, thanks to the Huffington Post (here), two new pics of Jake Gyllenhaal in the Prince of Persia:

There is no denying that Jake Gyllenhaal has really changed since his role in Donnie Darko: he’s become a really handsome man, that most girls would dream to hang out with I’m sure. Being bald I have more empathy with characters like Dr. Manhattan, but I bet that the hairy jake Gyllenhaal will amaze us with his interpretation of Prince Dastan.
The movie Prince of Persia, directed by Mike Newell, is expected to be released end of May 2010.

During the last WonderCon J.J. Abrams was asked about his intention regarding a possible movie sequel to Cloverfield. And to the fans’ pleasure he did confirm that he’s definitely working on something:
We have an idea that we thought was pretty cool that we’re playing with, which means there will be something that’s connected to Cloverfield, but I hope it happens sooner than later because the idea is pretty sweet.”
Any idea about what Cloverfield II should look like? Got any suggestion for Producer J.J. Abrams and Director Matt Reeves?

Director George Miller is considering to develop Mad Max 4 as an animated movie. Such a move would increase the odds of a fourth Mad Max movie to come out. Miller has been facing so many hurdles since his first attempt to produce Mad Max 4 in 2003: financial hurdle, Mel Gibson stating that he wouldn’t reprise his role and so on… So going animated would be a way out for Miller: an animated movie costs indeed less to produce and Miller could get rid of Mel Gibson, a former great actor who had the lead role in Mad Max but who since turned into a religious zealot.
The universe of Mad Max is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which oil has become so scarce that people are ready to kill for it and in which civilization has collapsed, giving a free reign to barbarous gangs of road punks. Just watch this original trailer of the movie Mad Max:
Miller is likely to call Japanese talents to help to develop Mad Max 4:
Quite glad that Mad Max is going to integrate a manga dimension. Much better perspective than a Mad Max 4 movie with an old Mel Gibson!

The first Twilight movie may have been a low-budget adaptation, but the new film will get more financial support: Summit Entertainment is indeed allocating more cash to the production of this Twilight sequel following the box-office success of the first film. The production team will even be able to shoot a few scenes of the movie New Moon in Italy, in Europe. We’ve got confirmation thanks to Italian movie site Bataste:
I bet many fans of Twilight will claim to be Italian just to be entitled to enlist in this contest!
I hope that this is not just a move for the production team to have some holiday abroad, and that they will really shoot some nice scenes of New Moon in Volterra: the old city looks quite beautiful.
The movie New Moon will be released on November 20, 2009. So get ready for this second opus of the Twilight Saga!

Moviegoer Elaine tipped us about a first look of Denzel Washington as Eli the savior in The Book of Eli, an upcoming post-apocalyptic movie directed by the Hughes brothers:
Plot:
“In the post-apocalyptic world of the book of Eli, civilization has collapsed and clean water has become the prime currency.
Washington plays a survivor who must fend off gangs and a brutal tyrant in this desolate wasteland.
Oldman will play the film’s villain, a despot of a small and pathetic town, who’s determined to get a hold of Eli’s book, a book that may save Mankind.”
In a previous teaser poster, Eli was portrayed with a samurai sword. I don’t see any sword on this picture. We already had Blade and Black Samurai, but I’d be happy to see Denzel Washington showing off with a sword: that would be damn cool! Sure, The book of Eli may save the world from its final decay at the end, but the sword would help to get things better in a timely manner.
Correction: actually looks like a sword is there on the table, I think indeed that’s a sword hilt near the backpack of Eli.
The Book of Eli is going to be an epic movie!
:)
