We’ve got a picture of British actress Claire Foy in the movie Season of the Witch, in which she is co-starring with Nicolas Cage and Ron Ron Perlman:
(Click on a picture to enlarge it.)
The movie Season of the Witch, set in a medieval Europe, is about a knight (Nicolas Cage) escorting a girl (Claire Foy) accused of being the witch behind a plague that’s spreading all over the continent.
Season of the Witch is the first major role for Claire Foy. She started her career in local Brittish TV series like Being Human and Little Dorit.
She looks cute: we will probably hear from her again in the future.
:)
Wish you a merry Christmas 2008, and many gifts from Santa Claus!

We just learned via Coming Soon that Bruce Boxleitner who played the role of as Alan Bradley, aka Tron, in the first movie is set to return in Tron 2!
Tron 2.0 Movie Bruce Boxleitner back as Tron
With both Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner reprising their roles it is clear that Disney is counting on fans’ nostalgia!
I supposed they checked the negative buzz following the title change to TRZ and are now rolling back to a more friendly TRON 2.0 (the plot has no relation with the game of the same name as far I know). But I’d suggest to leave the .0 part (unless Disney wants to get a featured post on Michael Arrington’s Techcrunch…) and just go with the streamlined title of TRON 2!

In Public Enemies, upcoming period movie directed by Michael Mann, Johnny Depp plays the role of John Dillinger the gangster and French actress Marion Cotillard (she once played the role of Edith Piaf) got the role of Dilinger’s partner in love and in crime:

The original criminals (below) were not as photogenic as Johnny Depp and Marion Cotillard…
But that’s a distortion of History that Hollywood is used to!

FAST AND FURIOUS
New model, original parts!
This poster of Fast and Furious could have been better: no colors, no girls… But don’t worry the movie will have great cars doing stunts:
And sexy girls:
Fast and Furious 4 will be released on April 3, 2009. Still time to get your engines ready!

Summit Entertainment has announced the release date of the movie New Moon, sequel to Twilight: New Moon is tentatively scheduled for a release on November 20, 2009.
Much more information at:
–> New Moon Movie in November 2009
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart will be back respectively as Edward and Bella. But Summit Entertainment has decided to replace Director Catherine Hardwicke with Chris Weitz.
Now they can indeed afford a more expensive director: the first Twilight movie was real gold for the production company.
As long as Stephenie Meyer keeps scrutinizing the development of the movie New Moon, there is no need to worry about the change for the fans.

Do you remember Judge Dredd, the sci-fi movie set in a dystopian future starring Sylvester Stallone as a super super cop with instant field judiciary powers? Well that movie is gonna have a reboot or maybe it will have a sequel. It’s been announced (here) on the official forum of 2000 AD, the weekly British science fiction-oriented who was behind the original Judge Dredd comics:
Together with DNA Films, the movie production company behind such great sci-fi movies such as Sunshine and 28 Weeks Later, Judge Dredd will go into production in 2009.
Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director said, ‘We can’t give away too many details at this point, but we’re looking forward to working with DNA Films to bring Judge Dredd back to the big screen.’
We’ll keep you up to date with breaking news as it happens!”
If the movie goes in production in the second half of 2009 (I doubt it would start before), considering that post-production would require a lot of CGI I guess, we may expect this new Judge Dredd movie to be released in 2011 and if lucky end of 2010.
Let’s remember the original Judge Dredd movie with this theatrical trailer:
Judge Dredd (Sylvester Stallone) was the law:
Don’t know yet what is ahead, reboot Judge Dredd remake or Judge Dredd sequel (or even a prequel?) but I bet they will somewhat update this damn kitsch outfit Stallone was wearing:
All that’s quite sure is that Sylvester Stallone will not have the lead role: he’s definitely too old for the character by now (besides he’s busy with Rambo 5).
The original Judge Dredd movie was already cheesy even in 1995 but this news makes my day: I did like the movie at the time!

Take a look to those pictures of Beyonce and Ali Larter in the movie Obsessed:

Choosing between Beyonce and Ali Larter is really difficult!
The lucky man on the pictures is Idris Elba. Yeap he’s got the lead role, but who cares? Actually most people will go watch Obsessed for the two girls, not for the boy.
I’d like to see a movie poster of Obsessed featuring Ali Larter vs. Beyonce!

Bruce Willis is back in a science-fiction movie: he’s got the lead role in The Surrogates, an upcoming sci-fi movie directed by Jonathan Mostow. The film is based on the 2005-2006 comic book series of the same name written by Robert Venditt and illustrated by Brett Weldele. The Surrogates is scheduled for a release in September 2009.
We have may have a first look at Bruce Willis in the Surrogates movie:
(Click on the picture to enlarge it.)
Plot:
“In the near future, humans live in isolation and only interact through remote-controlled artificial bodies that serve as surrogates. When several surrogates are murdered, a cop (Bruce Willis) investigates the crimes through his own surrogate. The investigation forces the cop to bring his human form out of isolation and unravel a conspiracy behind the crimes” (Source: Wikipedia)
They aren’t that many interesting movie released in September in general. So The Surrogates movie is really welcome! It will bridge the gap between Summer 2009 movies and end of year blockbusters.
With the current R&D in robotics and AI such a future isn’t so farfetched… But for mankind’s sake better for us not to not use such Surrogates!
:)
Hollywood production companies are definitely optimistic concerning its blockbuster, and one more Transformers sequel has been decided even before the second film is released.
We don’t have a direct confirmation for Transformers 3, but according to Dark Horizons, the sequel to Transformers Revenge of The fallen should be released in June 2011, which sounds credible:
