Megan Fox Joins Sacha Baron Cohen's 'Dictator'

Sacha Baron Cohen rides a camel while filming his upcoming comedy, The Dictator, on Sunday (June 19) in New York City.

The 39-year-old funnyman takes on two roles - a goat herder and a deposed foreign ruler - in the film, which centers around “the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.”

Megan Fox will also be making a cameo in the film, along with John C. Reilly, THR reports.

Their roles are reportedly being kept under wraps but the two will join a cast that already includes Anna Faris and Ben Kingsley. http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/06/21/megan-fox-sacha-baron-cohen-dictator/

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/

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


Hanway Films has unveiled the trailer for "A Dangerous Method," starring Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen, Keira Knightley, and Vincent Cassel. Check it out below.

Based on Christopher Hampton's acclaimed 2002 play "The Talking Cure," the film centers on the relationship between Carl Jung (Fassbender) and Russian-Jewish patient Sabina Spielrein (Knightley), who ultimately causes a rift between Jung and mentor Sigmund Freud (Mortensen) but also catalyses strong findings in regards to Jungian psychoanalysis.

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.

Rachel McAdams Talks SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS and Working with Terrence Malick

by Christina Radish    Posted: May 5th, 2011

This week, we got a chance to speak with Rachel McAdams, who is currently promoting another project that we’ll be writing about later. But, in the meantime, we wanted to post what she had to say about revisiting her role as Irene Adler for a cameo in the upcoming Sherlock Holmes sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, as well as working with Terrence Malick on an untitled film that is being described as “a powerful and moving love story.”

While McAdams said that she isn’t actually sure of her her role in the Malick film (meaning that she’s either being very coy, or that she only received her own script pages), she did admit to there being a bit of a love triangle involving her character. She also talked about the extensive preparation that Malick requires, and said that working with him was a wonderful and inspiring experience. Check out what she had to say after the jump.

First Clip from Nicolas Winding Refn’s DRIVE Starring Ryan Gosling

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 5th, 2011

One of my most-anticipated films this year is Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive.  I’ve become a big Refn fan after seeing the Pusher trilogy and Bronson and the cast for Drive is outstanding: Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Christina Hendricks, Bryan Cranston, Ron Perlman, Oscar Isaac, and Albert Brooks.  The story centers on a Hollywood stunt driver (Gosling) who moonlights as a getaway driver.  The first clip from the film has gone online and is more about the “getaway driver” part of his resume.  What I really like about this clip is that while they could choose to show us your standard getaway chase, Refn is taking time to show us the character’s intelligence and that putting the pedal to the medal isn’t necessarily the best course of action—but that there will definitely be some action.

Hit the jump to check out the clip.  Drive will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.  It opens in the U.S. on September 16th.

Bill Murray Will Play Franklin D. Roosevelt in HYDE PARK ON HUDSON

by Phil Brown   Posted: May 5th, 2011

Any time it’s announced that Bill Murray will star in a movie, it’s exciting news. Quite apart from the fact that he’s one of the greatest comedic big screen presences of all time, the guy is notoriously hard to sign on to any project. But today after months of circling the role, Murray has officially committed to play Franklin D. Roosevelt in the historical drama Hyde Park On Hudson, a film about King George VI and Queen Elizabeth spending a weekend at FDR’s upstate New York home unsurprisingly called Hyde Park On Hudson. No start date is in place yet as Focus Features plans to seek international buyers for the project at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and given Murray’s official involvement, it shouldn’t be a hard sell. Though this will most likely be a serious role for Murray, the idea of him applying his hangdog deadpan comic charm to the role of the 32nd US president is just too sweet to resist. Hit the jump for further details on this bizarrely awesome casting choice.

Trailer for COLOMBIANA Starring Zoe Saldana

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 5th, 2011

The trailer for the action-thriller Colombiana has gone online.  Working from a script by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen (Taken), the film stars Zoe Saldana as woman who, after witnessing her parents’ murder as a child in Bogota, grows up to be a stone-cold assassin.  While she works during the day as a hitwoman, at night she deals out vigilante justice in her quest to take down the mobsters responsible for the death of her parents.   I like the idea of a female batman who uses a gun, but this may be the most generic action movie trailer I’ve ever seen.  I’m a fan of Saldana so hopefully the movie has more personality and individually than the trailer.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film also stars Michael Vartan, Callum Blue, and Cliff Curtis.  Colombiana opens September 2nd.
