The Yellow Handkerchief Trailer: K-Stew Picks Up a Hitchhiker

Somewhere in between becoming the most famous breakout young actress in film thanks to her role as "Bella" in The Twilight Saga; Kristen Stewart found time to fill a role in an indie film titled, The Yellow Handkerchief.  

The film stars K-Stew as a young girl with her scrawny boyfriend on a journey.  The couple happens by a man (William Hurt) and decide to give him a lift.  On that "lift" they discover he's lost in love and needs help rekindling his flame with the love of his life (Maria Bello) that he can't forget.  With the help of these young lovers, I imagine Love is restored and Love is discovered at the same time.  So.. it's an indie film about Love... couldn't hurt yeah?

2 Possible 'Independence Day' Sequels?!


According to Cinema Blend, director Ronald Emmerich planned to resurrect the ID4 franchise with a sequel, which was inspired partly by President Obama!  However, Emmerich talked with MTV recently and said that he was planning to make possibly more than one Independence Day sequel.  

He stated, "What we want to do in the next, is actaully two movies-- we want to do a bigger arc..." 

What will the arc be about?  How is this going to happen?  What story can be told?!  Give me some answers Ronny!!  

Emmerich told Cinemablend that he saw Independence Day as a story of a king leading his country against an invader.  It appears he will continue this theme.  

"The idea is just to continue the story and actually I don't know how many years ago this was-- twelve, thirteen, fourteen years ago-- and just continue where it ended."

So, the plot is definitely going to be the same, but what about the title of the film? When asked about the title of the sequel, Emmerich suggested, "ID4-ever. Part I and Part II maybe? "

I really hope he's joking.  He's going to have to do better than that!

In case you missed it: New Salt Trailer

I am so ready for this film!  Not only does it have Angelina Jolie being a badass again, but she's a spy which equals ACTION-PACKED!  The point of SALT is that she's a spy and she doesn't even know it!!!  No it's not like Bourne Identity or something... but it's more like a defector accuses Evelyn Salt (Jolie) to be a sleeper spy when she's sworn an oath to protect her country by serving in the CIA.  So, Salt's in a rut and she does what she does best, run and fight her way to the truth.  I'm just ready to Angelina kick some ass again.  It's been too damn long.  :)

Here's the trailer.  Enjoy!



'Mad Men' Writer Remaking 'Fright Night'!


Marti Noxon has had great luck writing and even producing some episodes of the TV hit Mad Men.  However, she even has TV pedigree dating all the way back to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel... and let's just say she's been tapping into her vampy past lately.  

Dreamworks has hired her to remake the classic 1985 horror comedy, Fright Night.  (I told you remakes are in this season, but Vampires are even more IN! What movie better to remake than a vampire filled classic?! )  

The movie is about a teenager who finds out his neighbors are vampires and not the kind that's romantic and sparkles.  THR says that the plan is to keep the same "campy comedy vibe".  

Can't wait to see how Noxon brings a little bit of her Buffy-esque side back to meet her new Mad Men style of writing to the table.  

'Leap Year' Trailer and Poster Revealed Today


So, I was hoping this movie would be better than those cheesy romantic comedies than we've all seen in the past.  The last romantic comedy I saw was probably The Proposal.  However, Leap Year, starring the adorable Amy Adams and the handsome Matthew Goode, seems to be unimpresive so far.  It actually had some of the same scenes as The Proposal!!  There is a scene where the two must pretend to be married and then kiss in front of people.  RIP OFF!  

But, I must admit, I'm  sucker for Amy Adams... so I hope there is more than meets the eye here (and no I don't hope there are Transformers in this flick!)  

Here is the trailer... thoughts?


Dreams behind 'Avatar'

In a new featurette, Director James Cameron explains some of his dreams that inspired him to finally bring the film, Avatar, to life.  After waitng years for technology to catch up to Cameron's creation, he has dusted off the script and put in $250 million into his project.  The featurette includes some great images and insight into the creation of Avatar.  I want this movie to do well, but it's so obscure and full of blue aliens that I just need more of these featurettes to understand it!
