Amy Adams Regrettably in New 'Leap Year' Trailer
12 November 2009 2:09 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Almost without fail, it's a bad sign if a gag from your movie is recognizable as the same thing they tried to do in the Ashton Kutcher-Brittany Murphy flick, She's Loony and He Created Punk'd. Wait...Just Married - that's what it's called. It's an even worse sign when it's an Amy Adams movie that's riffing on Just Married, because she doesn't have to resort to this kind of nonsense.
In the trailer for the new romantic comedy Leap Year, there's a direct lift of that previous rom-com, not that the trailer showed a lot of promise up to that point. In Just Married, Murphy plugs in a hair dryer or some other small electronic, and the power goes out in the couple's quaint bed and breakfast. It may have actually caused a fire. In Leap Year, the power throughout an entire village goes out when Adams attempts to charge her phone. »

Birthday Suits: Oscar-Snubbed
10 November 2009 5:11 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Today's birthday list doesn't make me feel celebratory so much as oscarighteously furious. Perhaps I should explain. It's only the four first birthday boys whipping me into a golden frenzy. Then things calm down.

1889 Claude Rains, never won an Oscar. This despite being a great screen actor, whose filmography reads like a catalogue of Golden Age greatness. He's an actor who made indelible contributions to not 1, not 2 but 7 Best Picture nominees, a number that doesn't even reflect films like Notorious, Now Voyager, The Wolf Man, The Invisible Man, Mrs. Skeffington or The Greatest Story Ever Told. He didn't even get an honorary statue!
1925 Richard Burton, never won an Oscar. This despite winning exactly as many nominations as Liz Taylor won husbands.
1928 Ennio Moriccone has never won an Oscar. This despite being a world reknowned composer, being worshipped by film fanatics and revolutionizing how people scored Westerns. »

Sly Talks Expendables Scene with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis
1 November 2009 5:50 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Entertainment Weekly talked with Sylvester Stallone about the pivotal, 5-minute scene with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis for Stallone's The Expendables which we first reported here. Sly talked candidly about the six hour shoot:
Stallone said the superstar-summit scene takes place in a church, where Willis' nasty antagonist has summoned Stallone's macho mercenary to finally meet him face-to-face, take measure of him, and possibly hire him for a death-defying mission. But just as the meeting gets under way and smartass smalltalk is made, in walks another killer-for-hire - Stallone's longtime rival, who Willis has also invited to this job interview: Ah-nuld.
"Bruce says 'Well, there's one other person I want to talk to before I hire you," says Stallone. "And then Arnold, who plays my old rival, walks in. We have a history together. And we go back and forth and I tell him that I should have shot him »
Confirmed: 'Sin City 2' to Go Into Production in 2010
29 October 2009 10:59 PM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
It has been long rumored that "Sin City 2" will kick off its production in 2010, and producer Stephen L'Heureux of Solipsist Films has recently confirmed the swirling speculation. In an interview with Comics2Film at Mania.com, the filmmaker gave an update to the start of production suggesting the sequel of "Sin City" will be done in the second half of 2010.
On the occasion, L'Heureux also set things straight on what the sequel will be based on. He mentioned that rather than drawing the story from "A Dame to Kill For", the rumored original comics material director Frank Miller produced a decade ago, this second movie in the "Sin City" series will be based on an original script written by Miller.
Beside talking about those plans, the producer also unraveled that Miller is working on a screenplay for "Hard Boiled". As for when the movie will be brought to life, »

Arnold's character is Trench and Bruce is Church, the scene was shot in an empty church without extras and minimal set dec and it has tension and humor...Bruce and Arnold were consummate professionals at all times - we got through the scene quickly without compromise. In 6 hours we did wide shots, close-ups, turned around...the whole nine yards.

She went on describing, "Bruce looked amazing - very fit, beautiful bald head and that smirky smile. Sly looked relaxed but definitely ready to put this puppy to bed. Arnold had a stogie in his mouth, a giant watch on his arm and was constantly making jokes."

Exclusive Sam Trammell Interview
19 October 2009 10:01 AM, PDT | movies.about.com | See recent movies.about.com news »
Sam Trammell was up for a Breakthrough Performance award for his role as Sam Merlotte, the shapeshifting bar owner in HBO's super sexy series True Blood, at Spike TV's Scream 2009. Trammell didn't walk away with that award - he lost out to Twilight's Taylor Lautner (it's never a good idea to go against a Twilight star when online votes gauge the winner) - but the True Blood cast did wind up with three acting honors as well as the best TV show trophy. Alexander Skarsgard was voted Best Villain (really? villain? I don't see Eric Northman as a villain) and real-life couple Stephen Moyer and Oscar-winner Anna Paquin picked up Best Actor and Actress in a Horror TV Show wins. Moyer took to the stage to pick up his award while leaning on a cane, the result of tearing his meniscus while playing with his kids.

The Wizard Of Oz 70th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Review
15 October 2009 2:29 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I had a friend who had done some jail time. I was always very curious about this because I knew that it would be hugely unlikely I would ever see the inside of a cell (knock on wood). He told that one of the most beloved movies by prisoners was Wizard of Oz. This made all the sense in the world. Wizard of Oz is the ultimate escapist fantasy, which betrays the film’s original message. My thoughts after the jump.
Ironically, what people remember most is the vivid Technicolor of Oz more than the sepia toned world of Kansas. We love our family, but the imagination is stirred by everything that happens when not at home, when not in a safe place. And yet that simple message that there is no place like home, that desire to return to one’s family is pretty profound in the movie. Wizard of Oz, »

The Expendables Promo Trailer
14 October 2009 11:08 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Just yesterday, a promo trailer of sorts appeared online for Sylvester Stallone’s upcoming macho man action fest, The Expendables. We would have gotten it to you sooner, but as you’ll soon see, it’s not very well put together (editing wise, not the actual footage that Stallone shot) and doesn’t paint the movie in the best light. It’s clearly not a final trailer, but rather a slapped-together bunch of footage designed to give us action movie fans a taste of what’s to come.
So, due to that, we hesitated putting it on the site. But in the end we figured you might want to see it so we have it for you below.
Just keep in mind the footage is Very rough, not edited together as an actual trailer and the music is weak, to say the least.

The Expendables – Promotional Trailer
14 October 2009 10:48 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
What do you do when you’re sent a promotional trailer for the largest gathering of action hero’s in a long, long time? Why you publish it of course!
The new promotional trailer for the Sylvester Stallone written/directed action-fest, The Expendables is online – and we have a copy for you right here!
Starring the aforementioned Mr. Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Randy Couture, Eric Roberts, Danny Trejo, Charisma Carpenter, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Curtis Jackson, Brittany Murphy and David Zayas, the film promises to be an explosive (if not entertaining) thrill ride.
The footage I fear, paints a slightly different picture, with cheesy one-liners (text messages anyone?) and some shaky looking acting, but I still hold high hopes for this film – and will likely do so until opening night!

The Expendables Promo Footage
14 October 2009 4:04 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
ComingSoon.net have managed to ‘acquire’ some promotional footage from Sylvester Stallone’s new movie, The Expendables which is out summer 2010. The movie is both written and directed by Stallone as well as him playing the lead. It also stars Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Eric Roberts, Dolph Lundgren, Charisma Carpenter, Giselle Itie, Brittany Murphy, David Zayas and Amin Joseph.
The film follows a team of mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a South American dictator. Which I think basically gives them an excuse to blow up as much as they possibly can! Awesome!
I’m not sure how official this footage is so it may well get taken down but enjoy it while it lasts!

The Expendables: A Badass Promo Trailer
13 October 2009 7:02 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
The internet is alive this evening with chatter of a promotional reel for Sylvester Stallone's upcoming star-mongering actioner The Expendables. Since its inception, this project has been high of mind for geeks around the web, many of whom cannot wait to soil their seats on the day that Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren (among others) stand together on mission for blood. The trailer you're seeing below, which comes courtesy of reader PatientZero, is the type of promo piece that films without distribution make to show to studios. It has enough to reveal the tone of the film, give insight to some of the story and show off some of the pretty action, but is not glossed up like a 'for the masses' promotional item. So it's a bit dry in places, but it hits hard with some awesome action as well. Just know that there's a lot left to be done -- color »
