Green Zone International Trailer Tells a Different Story

No one sucker punches Jason Bourne in the face and gets away with it. No one! Yesterday we posted the domestic trailer for Matt Damon’s new Iraq War movie “Green Zone”, which seems to be selling us a Bourne movie minus anyone named Bourne. Today, the International trailer for Paul Greengrass’...

New Trailer and TV Spots for Yuen Woo-Ping’s True Legend

A new trailer chock full of fights (but short on plot and dialogue, which is not necessarily a bad thing) and two short but very cool TV spots for action master Yuen Woo-ping’s return to directing in the martial arts/fantasy movie “True Legend” have shown up online. If you absolutely...

Bullet Squibs and Psychos Aplenty in Smokin Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball Trailer

After taking a look at the trailer for “Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball”, you can’t help but agree with Universal: yeah, this is definitely not theatrical worthy stuff here. If anything, it looks like your run-of-the-mill direct-to-DVD action movie, the kind that usually...

New Shutter Island Trailer Cranks up the Horror

Whoever cut this latest trailer for Martin Scorsese’s upcoming suspense/thriller “Shutter Island” must have been on orders to make it look as much like the “Saw” films as possible. That, or one of those “Ring” remakes. It is close to Halloween, after all. The...

Yuen Woo-ping Preps his Garnet on the Golden Sand

Sure, the title may not sound like it’s got buckets of martial arts fun waiting for you (”Garnet on the Golden Sand”???), but consider the director involved: Yuen Woo-ping. Westerners will know him as the guy who made the martial arts in Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill”...

The Rock’s Faster Gets Billy Bob, New Director

Well the new director stuff is actually pretty old stuff, but I didn’t bother to report on it when it first surface because of, honestly, general laziness. In any case, just to get you up to date, George Tillman has replaced Phil Joanou as the director of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s...

Emmanuelle Chriqui and Val Kilmer Head to Georgia for Renny Harlin

It may be hard to believe now, but once upon a time Renny Harlin was an in-demand action movie director, having directed hits like “Die Hard 2″, “Cliffhanger”, and “The Long Kiss Goodnight”. More recently, not so much. Harlin hasn’t exactly had the best of resumes...

Gary Shore’s The Cup of Tears: Sci-Fi Samurai Badassness at its Finest

Holy shit. Now this is awesome. Remember the first time you saw “300″ or “Cassern” or all those samurai movies by Akira Kurosawa? Well, it looks like Irish director Gary Shore saw them too and put them all into a blender, shook it up, and came out with “The Cup of Tears”....

“Hitmen” director Xavier Gens is taking a trip to the future. The post-apocalyptic future. Which, in case you’re wondering, is nowhere near as pleasant as the not-apocalyptic future. Gens has signed on to the direct the movie “The Fallout”, described as a futuristic thriller...

January Jones is a Victim of Crime in Cage’s Hungry Rabbit Jumps

I’ve seen January Jones around, and she’s always struck me as having the perfect Hollywood leading lady looks, which led me to wonder why she hasn’t been more famous. Her regular stint on AMC’s highly regarded “Mad Men” seems to have finally borne fruit, because just...

Vampires Sure are Boring Looking in These New Daybreakers Images

Lionsgate has sent over two new images from the brothers Spierig’s new vampire/sci-fi movie, “Daybreakers”. I must admit, I was enthusiastic about the project when I heard about it, but I haven’t seen a whole lot about the movie, from the trailer to the images, that makes me think...

Paranormal Activity Not so Original After All? Check out In Memorium.

Apparently shooting scenes around the house with a home videocamera and calling it a horror movie in the guise of a faux documentary is not so original after all, though Paramount Pictures and director Oren Peli probably would like you to keep thinking it is. Not so much, as it turns out. Director Amanda...
