Trailer for David Cronenberg’s A DANGEROUS METHOD

by Adam Chitwood   Posted: June 21st, 2011

The first trailer for director David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method has been released, and it’s fantastic. Based on Christopher Hampton’s 2002 play The Talking Cure, the film centers on the relationship between Carl Jung (played by Michael Fassbender), his mentor Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen), and Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley), the woman who came between them. The trailer is intense, showcasing what are sure to be some powerhouse performances, as well as a score by Howard Shore. Oh, and there’s sex. Lots of sex. This is Cronenberg after all. Sony Pictures Classics is set to release the film, hopefully sometime this year. Hit the jump to watch the trailer for yourself. http://collider.com/a-dangerous-method-movie-trailer/97866/

The new movie is directed by David Cronenberg (A History of Violence, Eastern Promises) and has already been picked up by Sony Pictures Classics for domestic distribution. A release date has yet to be set.

"Footloose" Trailer Arrives Online

Posted: June 22nd, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Paramount Pictures has unveiled the trailer for its upcoming "Footloose" remake, starring Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough and Dennis Quaid. Check it out below.

Plot: Ren MacCormack (Wormald) is transplanted from Boston to the small southern town of Bomont where he experiences a heavy dose of culture shock. A few years prior, the community was rocked by a tragic accident that killed five teenagers after a night out and Bomont's local councilmen and the beloved Reverend Shaw Moore (Quaid) responded by implementing ordinances that prohibit loud music and dancing. Not one to bow to the status quo, Ren challenges the ban, revitalizing the town and falling in love with the minister's troubled daughter Ariel (Hough) in the process.

The new movie is directed by Craig Brewer (Hustle and Flow, Black Snake Moan) and is set to hit theaters on October 14th.

James Cameron on "Avatar" Sequels

Posted: June 21st, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Fox News caught up with James Cameron and spoke about the upcoming two "Avatar" sequels, which the director will shoot back-to-back and release them in theaters in December of 2014 and December of 2015.

"We're shooting two films back-to-back, so I'm writing two scripts, not one, which will complete a [three]-film story arc – not really a trilogy, but just an overall character arc so I'm pretty excited about that," he said. "We're doing a lot of preliminary work right now on new software and new animation techniques and so on. We're creating a new facility in Manhattan Beach so everybody that's not already dead is coming back."

Cameron also spoke about the pressure of trying to top "Avatar," which became the highest-grossing film of all time with $2.78 billion. "There's always an expectation," he explained. "I had to deal with that after 'The Terminator' back in 1984. All of a sudden I had a big hit movie and it was 'what are you doing next?' But my job is to take the audience on a journey and entertain them."

Naomi Harris Confirms She May be Bond Girl in "James Bond 23"

Posted: June 21st, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Earlier this month, we heard that Naomi Harris (28 Days Later, Ninja Assassin) has been offered a role in the 23rd James Bond installment. The role is being described as "Daniel Craig's sexy sidekick," which likely means that Harris will be the next Bond Girl.

ShadowAndAct now caught up with the actress to find out if there is any truth to the rumor. "All I can say is I've met the 'Bond' team, I've met Sam Mendes, they're all wonderful," she said. "I've auditioned for 'Bond.' My audition was really great actually because it's so top secret, the whole Bond thing. I hadn't realized how top secret it was. I've auditioned for a lot of things before but never for something where you can't see the script, it's that secret. I auditioned with a scene from 'Quantum of Solace.' You don't know what role you're going up for either, so everybody gets given a scene from a previous 'Bond' movie. I don't know whether it's true or not that I'm going to be an intelligent Bond girl. I don't know at all but I'd like it!"

Mendes is planning to begin filming soon with the goal of releasing the movie in theaters on November 9th, 2012.

Liv Tyler on "The Strangers" Sequel

Posted: June 21st, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


ComingSoon had the chance to sit down with Liv Tyler and talks about the sequel to "The Strangers," which has been rumored ever since the first film became a hit back in 2008.

"It's strange. I've read the script. It's been around the whole time, but I don't know how real it is," she said. "Bryan [Bertino] isn't directing it, I don't know what's happened with it."

The last time we heard about "The Strangers 2" was last month when NY Knicks star Amar'e Stoudemire revealed that he will be producing the movie with Relativity Media. Tyler was set to reprise her role, but since she barely knows anything, maybe that's not the plan anymore.

New Photos from "Sherlock Holmes" Sequel

Posted: June 21st, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Today we have three new photos from the upcoming "Sherlock Holmes" sequel, called "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows." The new film stars Robert Downey Jr as the title characters, Jude Law as Watson and Jarred Harris as the villainous mastermind Moriarty. Check out the photos below.

Collider caught up with Harris to discuss his role in the sequel. "It's never explained in the story [whether Moriarty knows that he's evil] and I don't really think it needs to be," he said. "But for me, the character's amoral. He's moved beyond the concept of there being a heaven and a hell and a God and a devil, and there being good and evil. He doesn't believe in it. And if you don't believe in that moral construct, then everyone is free to do whatever they want. He's just doing what’s good for him."

"Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" is once again directed by Guy Ritchie and is set to hit theaters on December 16th.

Megan Fox and John C. Reilly Join Sacha Baron Cohen’s THE DICTATOR

by Phil Brown    Posted: June 21st, 2011

Megan Fox may not be shaking her booty in front of exploding robots and rotating cameras next week in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, but it looks like she’s managed to keep her career going anyways (A hot girl succeeding in Hollywood? How’s that possible?). It’s been announced that both Fox and John C. Reilly will be bringing their various assets to the upcoming Sacha Baron Cohen comedy The Dictator, which is currently shooting in New York. Security is tight and little has been revealed about the film beyond Cohen’s comically large beard, but the cast is looking pretty impressive with support work also coming from Anna Farris and Sir Ben Kingsley. Hit the jump for more on the project.

First Trailer and Poster for FOOTLOOSE Remake

by Jason Barr    Posted: June 21st, 2011

The first trailer and poster for director Craig Brewer’s (Black Snake Moan) Footloose remake are now available online. Featuring some nifty dance moves and a “Debbie Downer” turn from Dennis Quaid, the film looks to have plenty of style and hopefully enough substance to pacify moviegoers looking for more than a rurally set Step Up. Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, and Andie MacDowell star alongside Quaid in the pic which aims to update Kevin Bacon’s 1984 original about a city boy who moves to a small town where dancing (which is apparently his number one skill) is outlawed.

Check out the trailer and poster after the jump. Footloose hits theaters on October 14th. http://collider.com/footloose-movie-trailer-poster/97928/

***Trent Reznor to Score David Fincher’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO ***First Image of Dennis Quaid in FOOTLOOSE

Trent Reznor to Score David Fincher’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 8th, 2011

When it was announced that Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame would be doing the music to David Fincher’s The Social Network, audiences began to realize that the film may a bit more than just “the facebook movie”. When the film was released, Reznor’s score was met with wild enthusiasm, and it looks like Fincher liked what he heard as well. Reznor has confirmed that he and his Social Network scoring partner Atticus Ross are doing the score for the director’s next film, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which he’s currently filming in Sweden.

Reznor confirmed the news on a podcast with The New York Times’ Jon Pareles. Fincher’s adaptation of the first book in Steig Larsson’s “Millenium Trilogy” stars The Social Network’s Rooney Mara, Daniel Craig, Robin Wright, Stellan Skarsgard, and Christopher Plummer. At the moment, Fincher’s on a break from filming in order to promote the Blu-Ray/DVD release of The Social Network (as well as get in some nice pre-Oscar facetime), which hits stores on Tuesday. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out Steve’s exclusive interview with Fincher from last week. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo will hit theaters on December 21^st.

First Image of Dennis Quaid in FOOTLOOSE

by Jason Barr    Posted: January 8th, 2011

The first image of Dennis Quaid in director Craig Brewer’s (Black Snake Moan) Footloose remake has landed online.  Well, sort of.  To be fair, it’s actually more an image of a television screen with a cat nearby who seems to be none too pleased about having her face all over the Internet.  Nevertheless, it’s still a good sign that a trailer for the film may not be far off.

Briefly, Footloose tells the story of a teen who moves from upbeat Chicago to a small town in which dancing and that darn rock ‘n roll music have been outlawed. In addition to Quaid (who is taking on the role previously played by John Lithgow, Rev. Shaw Moore), the Footloose remake also stars Kenny Wormald as Kevin Bacon’s own Ren MacCormack and Julianne Hough as the object of his affection, Ariel.  Footloose is slated to hit theaters later this year on October 14th.  To check out the image as well as a more detailed synopsis for the 1984 original, hit the jump

Here’s the image [via Brewer's Twitter]:

When teenager Ren and his family move from big-city Chicago to a small town, he’s in for a real case of culture shock. Though he tries hard to fit in, the streetwise Ren can’t quite believe he’s living in a place where rock music and dancing are illegal. There is one small pleasure, however: Ariel, a troubled, but lovely blonde with a jealous boyfriend and a Bible-thumping minister who is responsible for keeping the town dance-free. Ren and his classmates want to do away with this ordinance, especially since the senior prom is around the corner, but only Ren has the courage to initiate a battle to abolish the outmoded ban and revitalize the spirit of the repressed townspeople.

***New Posters for NO STRINGS ATTACHED and BLUE VALENTINE ***New Release Dates for FOOTLOOSE, BAD TEACHER, and CEREMONY

New Posters for NO STRINGS ATTACHED and BLUE VALENTINE

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: November 18th, 2010

The theme of tonight’s posters: “complicated romantic relationships.”  On the lighter side of the spectrum, we have Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher smiling postcoitus for the romantic comedy No Strings Attached.  On the heavier side — the “This is so unnerving no one under 17 can see this” side — we have the washed out heads of Ryan Gosling and Michelle Wiliams weighed down by the angst of Blue Valentine.  Hit the jump to see both posters in full.

Portman has five movies due in the next six months: Black Swan, Hesher, No Strings Attached, Your Highness, and Thor.  No Strings Attached looks to be the weak link, though perhaps only because the similarly-themed Friends with Benefits looks surprisingly sturdy.  (And Kutcher-free.)

No Strings Attached opens January 21, 2011.  Via Hollywood.com:

A guy and girl try to keep their relationship strictly physical, but it’s not long before they learn that they want something more.

—

This one hails from Australia with the simple, but pleasant tagline “Nobody but you and me baby.”  I like it.  I can’t wait for this movie to break my heart.

Blue Valentine opens December 27th.  Thanks to D*hOLLYWOOD [via IMP Awards]:

The story of love found and love lost told in past and present moments in time. Flooded with romantic memories of their courtship, Dean and Cindy use one night to try and save their failing marriage.

New Release Dates for FOOTLOOSE, BAD TEACHER, and CEREMONY

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: November 18th, 2010

A few new release dates of note:

• Paramount has pushed the remake of Footloose from April 1st (guess it’s not a joke) to October 14, 2011, where it faces The Three Musketeers.
• Sony has likewise pushed Bad Teacher from April 1st (same joke) to June 17, 2011, where it will engage in a battle of wits with Green Lantern.
• Magnolia has scheduled TIFF acquisition Ceremony for April 8, 2011, against Rio, Hanna, and Your Highness.

Hit the jump for a bit more on each film.

FOOTLOOSE
Newcomer Kenny Wormald landed the lead role in the remake of Footloose, filling in for Kevin Bacon from the 1984 original.  Wormald will be joined by Julianne Hough as female lead and love-interest “Ariel”, Dennis Quaid will play antagonist “Reverend Moore,” and Ren’s friend “Willard” will be played by Miles Teller.  Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow) will direct.

A city kid attempts to adapt to life in an ultra-conservative backwater Midwestern town. Once there, he ends up leading the repressed teenagers into a rebellion against the town fathers, who have outlawed rock & roll and dancing. [Fandango]

BAD TEACHER
Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake star as a foul-mouthed seventh grade teacher and substitute, respectively, in Bad Teacher.  Jason Segel, Molly Shannon, Eric Stonestreet, and John Michael Higgins also star.  Here’s how director Jake Kasdan (Walk Hard) described the film:

“[Diaz's character is] usually hungover when she gets to school. She’s kind of foul mouthed. And she’s completely fixated on trying to afford breast augmentation surgery, and very open about it. She believes it will help her find the right man who will take care of her for the rest of her life… [Timberlake's character] happens to be the heir to a watch-making company.  She thinks he seems like a good target.” [EW]

CEREMONY
Written and directed by Max Winkler, Ceremony stars Michael Angarano, Reece Thompson, Uma Thurman, and Lee Pace.  Here’s the official synopsis.

A perpetual adolescent stumbling through his twenties with inflated self-confidence, Sam (Michael Angarano) clings to the naive notions of love and romance that he immortalizes in a series of unpublished children’s books. With his sensitive, sycophantic best friend Marshall (Reece Thompson) in tow, he heads to the Hamptons to make a last-ditch effort to woo the object of his infatuation.
Thirty-something publisher Zoe (Uma Thurman) is about to marry Whit (Lee Pace), a self-important documentary filmmaker who’s an outrageous cross between Jacques Costeau and “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin. Sam refuses to accept that anyone else could be the love of Zoe’s life and, dressed to the nines in a crumpled burgundy suit, crashes Zoe and Whit’s wedding reception, determined to prove his point.
