CW Releases Extended Trailer for RINGER Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: May 26th, 2011 at 10:28 am

If you didn’t know by now, Sarah Michelle Gellar is making her return to TV on The CW’s new series Ringer. We reported the series pick-up last week along with some clips from the series itself, but now The CW has released an extended trailer that gives us a much better idea of what this show is all about. The series features Gellar as a woman, who after witnessing a murder, goes on the run, hiding out by assuming the life of her wealthy identical twin sister only to learn that her sister’s seemingly idyllic life is just as complicated and dangerous as the one she’s trying to leave behind. I’m not entirely convinced this is a must-watch series yet, but plenty of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans will surely want to see Gellar’s return to the network. As for me, The CW has never really delivered the kind of programming I’m usually fond of, but I might give this a try. You can decide for yourself after watching the trailer after the jump. http://collider.com/ringer-extended-trailer-sarah-michelle-gellar/93054/

New Set Photos from MEN IN BLACK III

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 26th, 2011 at 10:04 am

New set photos from Men in Black III have leaked online.  This hasn’t exactly been the most secretive of sets as this is just the latest in series of set photos from the film.  But what do they have to hide?  You know a Men in Black has the main characters in sharp suits, there are weird gadgets, and there are some aliens.  Since I imagine that most of the aliens will be CG, so we’re not going to see those, and then there are the jokes.  We know that the premise has Agent J (Will Smith) going back in time to save a young Agent K (Josh Brolin) and avert a world-ending disaster, but because they started filming without even having a finished script and had to delay the project so they could figure out how to finish the story, it’s tough to have hope for this project.

Hit the jump to check out the set photos (although a few contain what could be considered minor spoilers).  The film also stars Tommy Lee Jones, Jemaine Clement, Alice Eve, Emma Thompson, Nicole Scherzinger, Rip Torn, and Johnny Knoxville.  Men in Black III opens in 3D on May 25, 2012. http://collider.com/men-in-black-3-set-photos-2/93041/

Matthew Vaughn on "Kick-Ass" Sequel

Posted: May 26th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


While promoting "X-Men: First Class," director Matthew Vaughn was asked for an update on the sequel to "Kick-Ass" since a sequel comic-book ("Kick-Ass: Balls to the Wall") has already been put together.

"We're still discussing that at the moment. We might do it," he said. "People forget that 'Kick-Ass' was made for $28 million and now with DVD and everything else has made $225 million in revenue. So it's done great business. A lot of people say it could be like 'Austin Powers,' how the first one people couldn't get their heads around, they all discovered it on video and then the second one was a huge blockbuster."

Vaughn continued: "My theory is I don't know how to make sure 'Kick-Ass 2' is as good as 'Kick Ass 1.' I enjoyed making the movie so much and I loved working with all the characters in it so who knows. There could be one but if I do a sequel to that it's gotta be just as good, if not better."

"Halloween 3" May Happen After "Hellraiser" Reboot

Posted: May 26th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


MTV caught up with director Patrick Lussier and writer Todd Farmer during the press junket for "Drive Angry" DVD, and asked about the third "Halloween" installment that the duo have been working on.

Farmer has already completed the script and they are in talks with the Weinstein Company to make the movie. Lussier explained: "We would make that the second somebody said, 'Yes, go make it,' because it's a script that we love and a script we're really passionate about and it's an amazing character and an incredible franchise, and it would just be a great experience for us to go back to the roots."

The plan was to make "Halloween 3" before "Drive Angry," but there wasn't enough time to make that happen. And now that they are working on the "Hellraiser" reboot, it may be a while before we get another "Halloween" film.

"Patrick and I had come up with sort of an idea and we went opening day to go see 'Halloween 2,' and we went out of there with an idea of how to continue it," said Farmer. "Hopefully if everything works out after 'Hellraiser' we'll go right in to 'Halloween.' Without cheating and with what [was] created in Zombie's [films], we'd continue the story and do so in a way that sort of brings us back to the tone of Carpenter that we started with."

Michael Fassbender on Playing James Bond After Daniel Craig

Posted: May 26th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


There are plenty of people who would love to take over the James Bond franchise after Daniel Craig leaves the iconic role. P. Diddy has expressed interest and so has Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four).

Now, in an interview with Michael Fassbender, the actor was asked if he would be interested in the role considering that his version of Magneto was so Bond-like in "X-Men: First Class."

"I really don't plan anything ever because it never seems to work," said the actor. "I'm just [like] - let's just get this film out and see how this one does. And I'm sort of in the middle of doing [Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus']. And Daniel [Craig] is doing a great job. We'll see what happens. I'm very flattered that people are sort of making that link, but – I don't know. We'll see."

Question: Would you like to see Fassbender as James Bond?

Michael Mann Confirmed to Direct AGINCOURT
by Matt Goldberg Posted: May 16th, 2011 at 11:54 am


Last October, we learned that Michael Mann was considering an adaptation of Bernard Cornwell’s Agincourt. Today, ScreenDaily reports that Mann is now officially attached to direct and that Luc Roeg’s Independent is developing the project with Benjamin Ross writing the script. Roeg tells ScreenDaily that Agincourt now has “momentum”, but it’s still too early to predict a start date for filming. Mann recently directed the pilot for the upcoming HBO series Luck. He’s also been circling biopics of notorious Chicago crime boss Tony Accardo and Spanish Civil War photographer Robert Capa.


Cornwell’s novel tells about the famous 15th century Battle of Agincourt through the perspective of young fugitive Nicholas Hook who becomes an archer in King Henry V’s fight against the French. Hit the jump for a synopsis of the novel.

Tilda Swinton, Michael Fassbender, and Mia Wasikowska to Star in Jim Jarmusch’s “Crypto-Vampire Love Story”
by Matt Goldberg Posted: May 16th, 2011 at 10:30 am


Last August, we reported that director Jim Jarmusch had lined up talented actors Tilda Swinton, Michael Fassbender, and Mia Wasikowksa for his next film. Today, we finally have some details on the project and it sounds like a doozy. Jarmusch tells ScreenDaily that the film is a “‘crypto-vampire love story’, set against the romantic desolation of Detroit and Tangiers.” Swinton, Fassbender, and Wasikowska will all play vampires with John Hurt in a featured role.


While I’ve grown more than tired with the glut of vampire flicks we’ve seen over the past several years, Jarmusch is obviously going to craft a vampire flick unlike any other. Granted, I’m not the biggest fan of his work, but I can appreciate that he’s uncompromising and original in his vision and I’m glad filmmakers like him can still get their movies made.

New Financier Comes on to HIGHLANDER Reboot; Justin Lin Still Attached; New Screenwriters Announced
by Matt Goldberg Posted: May 16th, 2011 at 8:19 am


RCR Media Group has sent out a press release announcing they’re co-financing the Highlander reboot with Summit Entertainment and Neal Moritz Productions. For those unfamiliar with the premise, it’s about immortal guys called Highlanders who cut off each other’s heads until only one Highlander remains. Then he gets a special prize and a Queen song plays. The press release reports that Fast Five director Justin Lin is still attached, but keep in mind that his plate is filling up with other projects due to the success of Fast Five. Not only does Universal want to hit the gas on Fast and Furious 6, but Lin is also attached to Terminator 5. Does he want to make the first great Highlander movie (the original is campy fun, but not a great movie) or does he want to go to a film that’s likelier to succeed like Fast 6 or T5?


The press release also announces that Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man) wrote the screenplay, but back in February we reported that Twilight screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg had been hired to rewrite the script that was originally penned by The Wibberleys (National Treasure) . Neither Rosenberg nor The Wibberleys are mentioned in the press release, which you can read after the jump.

Chris Pine in Talks to Star in Jeff Nichols’ MUD
by Matt Goldberg Posted: May 15th, 2011 at 7:52 pm


Chris Pine may star in Mud, the new drama from Take Shelter writer-director Jeff Nichols. 24 Frames reports that Pine would play the title character, fugitive who encounters two 14-year-old boys who attempt to help him escape from an island in the Mississippi. Rather than the hard-charging hero Pine has played in his recent films, Mud “is both an unsavory and a redemptive character and who teaches the boys as much as he learns from them.” Producer Aaron Ryder (Memento) says the film is in the vein of Stand By Me. FilmDistrict, which has been cleaning up at Cannes, will distribute.


Folks familiar with Pine’s acclaimed work on stage will probably be less unsurprised to hear him talking on more serious dramatic work in films. He’s got a nice mix of action and drama coming up with the untitled Jack Ryan reboot churning through development, Star Trek 2 likely to shoot sometime this year, and Alex Kurtzman’s family drama Welcome to People. He’ll next be seen in McG’s action-comedy This Means War. As for Nichols, some folks loved Take Shelter, but I thought it moved a bit too slowly and could use a bit of editing even though star Michael Shannon was electrifying.

First Image of Cameron Diaz and Colin Firth on the GAMBIT Set; Stanley Tucci and Cloris Leachman Cast
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: May 15th, 2011 at 8:16 am

Director Michael Hoffman (The Last Station) initiated principal photography last week on the remake of the 1966 caper comedy Gambit. Cameron Diaz and Colin Firth are subbing in for Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine, respectively, as partners in a con to sell a fake Monet painting. Stanley Tucci and Cloris Leachman have just signed on to the production; they will be joined by Alan Rickman and Tom Courtenay. Factor in the Coen Brothers wrote the screenplay, and there’s plenty of talent on both sides of the Gambit camera.


Production is in London right now, with plans to shift to New Mexico. See the first official image of Diaz and Firth in costume on the Gambit set along with the official press release after the jump.

3 New Images and 4 Clips from THE AGES OF LOVE Starring Robert De Niro and Monica Bellucci

by Talia Soghomonian    Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 10:31 am

 

Remember that Bananarama song from the 80s that went something like “Robert De Niro’s waiting, talking Italian”? Well, he really does talk Italian in The Ages of Love, the third installment of Giovanni Veronesi’s comedy Manuale d’amore, De Niro plays an American college professor who moves to Rome and, of course, rediscovers the joys of love with a curvacious woman, played by Monica Bellucci.
An anthology of love stories, Manuale d’amore came out in 2006, followed by Manuale d’Amore 2 (Capitoli Successivi) the following year. With de Niro in the case, here’s to hoping that the film will make it to screen Stateside. It was released in Italy on February 25 and will hit French theaters on June 15.  Hit the jump to read the synopsis and check out some photos and teasers.

New TV Spot for SUPER 8

by Matt Goldberg   Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 11:04 am

While I’m not crazy about posting TV spots (if you watch TV, you’re gonna see them and see them often), footage for J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 has been so scarce that I figure this one is worth sharing.  What’s new in this spot that you didn’t see in the trailer?  Cars are missing their fuse boxes and electrical systems!  Kids screaming “Guys, watch out!” and “Oh my God!”  The trailer may have depicted the movie as a nice throwback to Spielberg’s 80s Amblin films, but this TV spot is all about heart-pounding action.
Hit the jump to check out the TV spot.  Super 8 stars Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Ron Eldard, Noah Emmerich, Gabriel Basso, and Ryan W. Lee.  It opens June 10th.

Rob Lowe to Play Tough Political Operative in KNIFE FIGHT

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 11:28 am

One of Rob Lowe’s most famous roles was as the idealistic and brilliant communications deputy Sam Seaborn on Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing.  Now it looks like he’s going to a much darker place in the political spectrum as Deadline reports that he’s signed on to star in Knife Fight.  Lowe will play the “lead role of a political crisis specialist who plays hard and tough in dealing with various October campaign surprises.”  Lowe clearly has the versatility to make such a role come alive and I’ll be interested to see what he does with it.  In the meantime, you can still see him playing a character involved in politics (or at least governance) as he’s been killing it on Parks and Recreation all season long.
Knife Fight is set to hit theaters in October 2012 to capitalize on the reality show we call our Presidential election.

Michael Fassbender, Steve Coogan, and Robert Sheehan to Star in GOOD VIBRATIONS

by Matt Goldberg   Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 12:01 pm

 

Michael Fassbender is becoming ubiquitous so thank goodness he’s an incredible actor.  Last month, Fassbender signed on to star in Good Vibrations, which is a biopic about Belfast punk rock legend Terri Hooley. Today, ScreenDaily is reporting that Richard Dormer (Five Minutes of Heaven) will play Hooley while Steve Coogan, Bronagh Gallagher (Tamara Drewe) and Robert Sheehan will co-star.  You’re probably aware of Coogan at this point, but you need to put Sheehan on your radar.  He’s a strong dramatic presence in the Red Riding Trilogy but does a complete 180 to play the scene-stealing jackass Nathan on the British series Misfits.  There was word last month that Fassbender’s Hunger co-star Liam Cunningham would also be in the film, but ScreenDaily makes no mention of him.
The film also has a strong presence behind the camera as Glenn Leyburn and Lisa Barros D’Sa (Cherrybomb, which also starred Sheehan as well as Rupert Grint) are directing from a script by Glenn Patterson and Colin Carberry.  Ocean’s Eleven composer David Holmes will produce and provide the score.  Filming is set to begin this summer.

by Ramses Flores    Posted: May 6th, 2011

Matt Damon may make his directorial debut with the much sought after Matthew Aldrich penned script, Father Daughter Time: A Tale of Armed Robbery and Eskimo Kisses.  Deadline reports that various studios including Paramount and Fox were trying to get their hands on the script, with Warner Bros coming out on top with the winning bid.  There isn’t much known about the film except that the story is about “a man who goes on the lam with his daughter, his accomplice on a three-state crime spree.”   Aldrich describes the film as “not high concept, it’s a smallish, very personal, dark but playful road movie about a father and daughter.”  For my thoughts on the project and what else Damon is involved in, hit the jump.

Michael Fassbender in Talks for Danny Boyle’s TRANCE

by Bill Graham    Posted: May 6th, 2011

Michael Fassbender has had a hell of a year, and we aren’t even at the halfway point. He recently landed a role in Ridley Scott’s return to science fiction, Prometheus — now the actor is eyeing Danny Boyle’s next film, Trance. According to THR (who refers to the film as “Trances“), Fassbender is in talks to become the first cast member to join Boyle’s fast-tracked film. The film is a remake of Joe Ahearne’s 2003 art heist TV movie aptly named Trance. Hit the jump for a lengthy synopsis, the potential role of Fassbender, and why the film is being put in fast-forward.

Michael Fassbender in Talks for Danny Boyle's "Trance"

Posted: May 7th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Two days ago we reported that Danny Boyle (127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire, 28 Days Later) is setting up "Trance" thriller as his next film.

The plan is to begin filming in September and then put everything on hold so Boyle can focus on the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony. In August of 2012, Boyle will return to the film and have it ready by March of 2013.

Since everyone is in a hurry to get started, casting is already underway. Variety has learned that Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class, Inglourious Basterds) is in talks to play the lead in the film which is described as a thriller about an art heist gone wrong.

Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" Films May Not Happen

Posted: May 6th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Universal Pictures has been planning to turn Stephen King's novel series "The Dark Tower" into three feature films with a TV mini-series in between each film. Ron Howard is on board to direct, Akiva Goldsman wrote the script and Javier Bardem is set to star.

Unfortunately, there are big problems and the planned September start date has already been pushed back. The studio is now worried about the budget and may consider handing the franchise to another studio, which could mean the end of "The Dark Tower."

Many believe that Howard and Goldsman will not let the project die and some of the options are for Goldsman to take it to Warner Bros, which may fund it the films on its own or with Universal. At this point, the May 17th, 2013 is still in place, but that may change very soon. Stay tuned.

Keanu Reeves in Talks for Live-Action "Akira" Film

Posted: May 6th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Over the years, actors like Brad Pitt, Justin Timberlake, James Franco, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Fassbender, Zac Efron and Robert Pattinson have been attached to the live-action "Akira" film, to be directed by Albert Hughes (The Book of Eli).

THR has now learned that Warner Bros is in talks with Keanu Reeves to play Kaneda, the gang leader. An offer has yet to be made, but sources claim that negotiations are going well.

In the script, the action moves from Neon-Tokyo to New Manhattan, where a biker gang leader tries to save his best friend from a medical experiment that threatens to unleash destructive powers.

The studio believes that bringing Reeves on board would give the project a better chance or getting another A-lister to take the role of Tetsuo, the best friend.

Michael Shannon Cast as General Zod in SUPERMAN Reboot MAN OF STEEL

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: April 10th, 2011

Viggo Mortensen was never able to find the right hole in his schedule to play General Zod in the upcoming Superman reboot, now officially titled Man of Steel.  Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, however, landed on a fantastic alternative: Michael Shannon.  Shannon was rumored for an unspecified villain role last month — the studios have announced today he will play Zod.  Director Zack Snyder remarked,

“Zod is not only one of Superman’s most formidable enemies, but one of the most significant because he has insights into Superman that others don’t.  Michael is a powerful actor who can project both the intelligence and the malice of the character, making him perfect for the role.”

I could not agree more.  Henry Cavill will star as Clark Kent/Superman.  The supporting cast includes Amy Adams as Lois Lane, and Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Martha and Jonathan Kent.  Read the official announcement after the jump.

Teaser Trailer for THE WOMAN IN BLACK Starring Daniel Radcliffe

by Adam Chitwood   Posted: April 10th, 2011

The teaser trailer for the ghost thriller The Woman in Black has gone online. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, the film is based on the classic ghost story by Susan Hill that centers on a young lawyer visiting a remote English town that, naturally, holds many ghostly secrets. The trailer is very much a teaser, and doesn’t really give much of the plot away, but I’m liking the air of creepiness and general unease that it suggests.

Hit the jump to check out the teaser for yourself. The Woman in Black hits theaters in the UK on February 10^th, 2012 with a US release date currently unknown.

Michael C. Hall and Sarah Silverman Interview PEEP WORLD
by Christina Radish Posted: March 21st, 2011
In the comedy Peep World, four siblings come together on the day of the 70th birthday party of family patriarch Henry (Ron Rifkin), to deal with the ramifications of a novel that was written by the youngest sibling, Nathan (Ben Schwartz), who has exposed the family’s most intimate secrets by publishing it. To make matters even worse, the floundering Jack (Michael C. Hall), struggling actress Cheri (Sarah Silverman) and black sheep Joel (Rainn Wilson) must all deal with the horribly unflattering versions of themselves that are now being portrayed in the film adaptation of their lives.


At the film’s press day, co-stars Michael C. Hall and Sarah Silverman talked about what drew them to these roles, dealing with family secrets, and getting to improvise on set.

AKIRA Shortlist: Robert Pattinson, Andrew Garfield, James McAvoy, Garrett Hedlund, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake, Joaquin Phoenix
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: March 21st, 2011
The live-action remake of Akira is on its way, folks, thanks in large part to the pen of Steve Kloves (the Harry Potter series). Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures are reportedly very pleased with Kloves’ rewrite and eager to get Akira in front of cameras in August. Recent casting rumors have been all over the place for the teenage main characters Kaneda and Tetsuo: from Zac Efron (23) to James Franco (32) to Brad Pitt (47). The implication has been that the studio is seeking a “massive star” to anchor the film, which apparently leads to some leeway in the agery. Deadline lists the actors that have received a script from the studio:




•For Tetsuo: Robert Pattinson, Andrew Garfield, James McAvoy
•For Kaneda: Garrett Hedlund, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake, Joaquin Phoenix


The Hughes brothers (Book of Eli) are on board to direct Akira, which adapts Katsuhiro Otomo’s 6-volume manga. The plan is to make two films, each of which covers three books in the series, as producer Andrew Lazar told us last summer. Hit the jump for more information on the project and background on the story.

Nicole Kidman: Snack Break on 'Hemingway & Gellhorn'

Nicole Kidman checks out the craft services table on the set of her latest project, Hemingway & Gellhorn, on Tuesday (March 15) in San Francisco, Calif.


The 43-year-old Aussie actress got to work on the HBO film with co-star Clive Owen, who sported a mustache.

The flick “recounts the tumultuous romance and subsequent marriage of literary master Ernest Hemingway (Owen) and up-and-coming war correspondent Martha Gellhorn (Kidman), following them through the Spanish Civil War and beyond. As she grew in reputation and stature, Gellhorn stood toe-to-toe with Hemingway, putting his famous bravado and iconic style to the test,” according to the network.


Hemingway & Gellhorn is set to premiere on HBO sometime next year!

For the past 60 years, an alien named Paul (voiced by Seth Rogen) has been hanging out at a top-secret military base. When he discovers he’s been taken prisoner, the space-traveling smart ass decides to escape the compound and hop on the first vehicle out of town-a rented RV containing Earthlings Graeme Willy (Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Frost).

Michael, on his decision to play Rochester in Jane Eyre: “I didn’t read Jane Eyre in school, but my mother and sister were always talking about it, and that was a big reason why I did it…I’m curious to see what my mother and sister think of my Rochester.”


Michael, on sex scenes: “Sex scenes can be quite awkward. As a guy, the first thing you want to do is make sure you’re not taking advantage. You don’t want the girl to feel like you’re getting a free feel or something.”

Tina Fey Covers 'InStyle' April 2011

Tina Fey covers InStyle magazine’s April 2011 edition - it’s the mag’s Color issue!


Here’s what the 40-year-old 30 Rock actress had to share:


On her TV character’s upgraded style: “It’s ironic that Liz Lemon is supposed to look kind of bedraggled. She looks way more pulled together than I would if I were going to write for the show. I wouldn’t wear a blazer - I’d wear a sweat jacket.”


On who’s the boss of her: “My daughter. Kids are definitely the boss of you. Anyone who will barge into the room while you are on the commode is the boss of you. And when you explain to them that you’re on the commode and that they should leave but they don’t? That’s a high-level boss.”

20th Century Fox has released a new trailer for Water for Elephants, the adaptation of the Sara Gruen novel of the same name directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend).  Robert Pattinson stars “a penniless and recently-orphaned veterinary school student [who] parlays his expertise with animals into a job with a second-rate traveling circus.”  He falls in love with one the star performers (Reese Witherspoon), who unfortunately happens to be married to an unbalanced ringleader (Christoph Waltz).  Watch the new trailer after the jump.

Stunning Olly Moss Posters for Duncan Jones’ MOON and SOURCE CODE

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 4th, 2011

Artist Olly Moss has created two gorgeous posters for Duncan Jones’ Moon and the director’s upcoming film Source Code.  The two posters are part of Mondo’s new “Director’s Series”.  The Source Code poster is so much better than the official one, which makes the movie look like it’s about a man who’s being attacked by iPads.

Both posters measure 18″x24″ and cost $35 each.  The Moon poster is limited to an edition of 250 while the Source Code poster is limited to an edition of 200.  Hit the jump to check out both of these beauties along with a statement on Duncan Jones about having his work added to Mondo’s Director Series.  Be sure you’re following @MondoNews for the sale date announcement.  Source Code will make its world premiere on March 11th at the SXSW Film Festival.  It opens nationwide on April 1st.

Pierce Brosnan Joins Susanne Bier’s ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 4th, 2011

Pierce Brosnan will star in Susanne Bier’s upcoming light-hearted romance movie All You Need Is Love.  Bier, who won an Oscar for In a Better World and is known more for her stark family melodramas, told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that All You Need Is Love is “a tender story with a much lighter atmosphere than my previous works: Enough with conflicts.”  24 Frames reports that Bier wrote Brosnan’s role with the actor in mind.  Oddly, La Repubblica reports that the film will center on a Danish family, and Brosnan doesn’t speak the language.  However, it’s possible that movie is bilingual or that the Danish family will simply speak English.

I’ve found Brosnan to be a far more exciting actor ever since he broke free of James Bond.  Those films gave his profile a boost and he did a fine job, but he’s done far more memorable work since then in movies like The Matador, Seraphim Falls, and The Ghost Writer.  He recently joined the comedy I Don’t Know How She Does It and will next be seen in the religious comedy Salvation Boulevard.

New Poster and Banner for THOR (Updated)

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 4th, 2011

Marvel has released two new posters for Kenneth Branagh’s Thor.  Taking a turn away from the previous posters of “Tall bearded man holds mallet”, these new posters give audiences what they really want: words over the actors’ faces.  Yes, whether you’re white, old, female, or black, the word “Thor” makes the perfect addition to your gigantic mug.

Hit the jump to check out the posters.  Thor stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Stellan Skarsgard, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Josh Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Clark Gregg, and Colm Feore.  The film opens in 3D on May 6th.

Update: Paramount has sent over high resolution versions of both posters

New Trailer for James Gunn’s SUPER Starring Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 4th, 2011

IFC has released a trailer for James Gunn’s upcoming superhero flick Super.  I like that the trailer has to animate over the language and violence in order to make it viewable for all-ages.  It’s a James Gunn movie and it’s best to expect something violent, twisted, and darkly comic.  Super looks like it’s going to deliver on all three counts and that makes me very excited to see this flick.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  Super stars Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, and Nathan Fillion.  It opens April 1st.
