First Image From 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'!

That's right, its the end of an era!!!  We last saw Harry Potter appear in books in 2007 and now the last chapter is about to come to a close for good on the big screen!  Granted there are two parts to the film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but still its a bit sad... 

USA Today recently spoke with the famous threesome and the film's director, David Yates about how the first installment of the film is going to play out since the majority of the scenes take place away from our beloved Hogwarts.  

“We're going for a vérité approach. Being away from Hogwarts, they're like these three refugees on the run. They're out in the big bad world, facing real danger, unguarded by those wonderful benign wizards at Hogwarts. They don't have a home to go to.” -Yates to USA Today 

For now we are left with the article and a picture to go along with it from the film.  Looks like Harry, Ron and Hermione are on the go again... or stashing their drugs from the cops... they look frightened.  haha

A New 'Nine' Trailer Reveals Some Plot!

FINALLY!! We get some backstory to Rob Marshall's Nine, coming out on Christmas Day 2009!!!  It's about time, cause if you are not a musical buff then you have NO IDEA what the hell is going on with "Guido" (Daniel Day Lewis) and all these ladies!!  Apple released a third trailer for the film recently and we are extremely thankful.  For you guys that think musicals are for pansies, you may wanna think twice and check out this star studded cast of luminous, beautiful females. 

Kate Hudson, Fergie, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard are the females I'm talking about donning their lace and musical talent (which I didn't think some had!) in this film.  Also, I give Judi Dench and Sophia Loren credit for being just fabulous.  :)

Apparently, famous film director, Guido Contini is stuggling as he keeps mixing business with pleasure (if you know what I mean) and strives to achieve harmony in his professional and personal lives.  

Let's take a gander at the new trailer:

'The Hobbit' Filming Delayed


For all you Hobbit lovers out there, here is some bad news.  Unfortunately, pre-production of the film wasn't going as smoothly as its planned March 2010 start date was confirmed.  Now it is being reported that The Hobbit filiming has be delayed until next summer.  

The Lord of the Rings director, Peter Jackson gave this statement to a German Newspaper:

It's funny he should say that the studio has not given the green light yet, since they've had, I don't know, FOREVER to work on this... haha  We all know that MGM is needing some cash and The Hobbit will definitely be their meal ticket.  I think the problem here is just getting the writing done.  and finding the perfect cast/Bilbo.  

Timing is everything, and perfection is key for these Tolkien tales... but lord knows Middle Earth lovers are going nuts!

Lionsgate Releases New 'Daybreakers' TV Trailer


So with all The Twilight Saga: New Moon buzz floating around, I'm pretty sure everyone is sick of vampire stuff.  NOT ME!  Surprisingly, most people can't get enough of the Vamp-trend going around.  We're eating it up, so to speak.   

Well, to go along with the vampire hype now that New Moon has been released, Lionsgate has just released a new TV trailer for its upcoming January film Daybreakers.  We haven't really heard much from this film since the summer release of its first trailer, but here is some more footage to get our blood flowing once more.  :)  

Enjoy!


Leaked Image of Don Cheadle in 'Iron Man 2'




This looks more like a photoshopped rendering of the actor Don Cheadle in his Iron Man 2 "War Machine" get up more than an image from the set.  But the point is, that this image was leaked online and I can't wait to see the finished product!  :)  The actual image comes from a advertisement for the upcoming War Machine toy.  

We all know what Robert Downy Jr. looks like so no shock there, but people are going nuts over this photo!  First of all, that was SUPPOSED to be Terrance Howard in that armor, but you win some you lose some Terrance.  Sorry.  Second, we know his character gets a suit, but we don't know how suped up it will be?  

Apparently there is some kinda gun coming out from his back by his head...  umm can you say busted ear-drums?    Anyway, just wanted to share the Iron Man 2 leakage... haha


'Amityville Horror' remake... AGAIN?!


Yeah so, I don't understnd why this is happening, but it is.   Sadly, it was announced the Weinstein brothers are going to push the envelope further than their 2005 Amityville Horror remake and make yet ANOTHER Amityville film.   Why don't they jsut make a sequel to it?  There were tons of sequels after the 1979 original was released and they definitely have a variety to rip off.   

Well, looks like these brothers are jumping on remake bandwagon ONCE MORE.  Hulk did it, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre did it... why not huh?  

The 2005 remake starred Ryan Reynolds (WITH A BEARD) practically shirtless in every scene and it grossed $108 million earning more and then some from its $19 million budget.  Now the movie wasn't that big of a blowout as the 1979 original in the Horror genre, but it did the trick.  it got the original film's plot and all that jazz across well.   So why remake a REMAKE?!  

I see a pitifull downfall in films to come... remakes of remakes and reboots of films from the 2000s.   (shudder)

The Twilight Saga: New Moon a Step Up from Twilight!


So I finally saw The Twilight Saga: New Moon and all I have to say is... AMAZING upgrade from the first film!  I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the film.  Especially the minutes that included Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner shirtless.  :)

The film was definitely "by the book" and I enjoyed the way Director Chris Weitz gave us more of Edward Cullen (Pattinson) than the book allowed.   Instead of a "velvety voice" in Bella's (Kristen Stewart) mind, we had a mystical ghost of Edward attatched to it.  I also thought the way Jacob Black (Lautner) and Bella's friendship was portrayed was very accurate.  I could feel the longing and pain in Jacob as Bella denied his advances in the book and on-screen there was intense emotions Lautner played out very well.  

The break-up scenes were great.  Stewart did a better job keeping her stuttering down to a minimum as she was overcome with emotion and disbelief during these scenes between Edward and Jacob.  THANK THE LORD.  I must say this film was a step up from Twilight (no offense Catherine Hardwick) and I only see the films getting better and growing a larger fan base (which seems impossible! haha)  

If you haven't read the books, then this film will definitely make you wanna take a gander at at least ONE of the books... yeah then you won't be able to stop.  Good luck with that!  :)

Please... go see the film!
