The Notable Films of 2010: Part Five

23 December 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

Hippie Hippie Shake

Opens: 2010

Cast: Cillian Murphy, Sienna Miller, Max Minghella, Emma Booth, Lee Ingleby

Director: Beeban Kidron

Summary: Follows the love story of Oz editor Richard Neville and Louise Ferrier. Neville and his cohorts launch the London edition of Oz amidst the 1960s counterculture and are subsequently put on trial for distributing a sexually explicit issue.

Analysis: One of the most troubled productions in Working Title's history, 'Hippie' began development back in 1998 but failed to get beyond script stage both in 1999 and in 2002 when "Elizabeth" helmer Shekhar Kapur was attached to direct. Filming finally got underway late 2007 with director Beeban Kidron in charge and shooting seemed to proceed without issue aside from feminist author Germaine Greer being vehemently unhappy about being depicted on film.

Actually the film scored quite a bit of free press for a skinny dipping scene where full-frontal shots of actress Sienna Miller shooting the sequence »

Mark Strong on Sherlock Holmes, Peter Weir’s The Way Back, The Guard and Eagle Of The Ninth

22 December 2009 10:11 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

About a week ago, I got to speak to an actor whose work I really admire: Mark Strong (IMDb resume).  While many of you might not know his name, if you ever saw Body of Lies, he played a character named Hani Salaam and he was the best performance in the film.  Since then, Strong has booked a ton of very high profile gigs in some of Hollywood’s biggest movies.  Clearly people noticed his work and as a fan, I’m excited to see him in more movies.

Anyway, the reason I got to speak with him is he plays the villainous Lord Blackwood in director Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes.  During out conversation we discussed the promotional process for Sherlock Holmes and what he’s had to do, working for Guy Ritchie again, what he did to prepare for the role, and so much more.

And for fans of Peter Weir, »

Iron Man 2 Will Not Be in 3D

22 December 2009 3:55 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

Director Jon Favreau did not shoot Iron Man 2 in 3-D, but it was rumored that the movie might still be released in the format after it was revealed that a one-minute segment of the picture was converted into 3-D as a test. Now, the 3-d-centric site Market Saw is reporting that the sequel to Iron Man will not be released in 3D after all.

Got some rather bad news for S3D fans out there. I have it from a very good source (one very much in the know) that Iron Man 2 will Not be made in stereoscopic 3-D.

Iron Man 2 stars Robert Downey Jr., Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, and Scarlett Johansson.

Next Showing: Iron Man 2 opens May 7, 2010

What Does Brittany Murphy's Death Mean For 'Sin City 2'?

21 December 2009 2:01 PM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Could the death of Brittany Murphy this weekend have big implications for "Sin City 2"? While it might seem unlikely given the brief screen time of Murphy's character, Shellie, in the 2005 Robert Rodriguez film based on Frank Miller's gritty comic book series, her presence throughout many of Miller's "Sin City" tales is certainly hard to ignore.

Like many of the characters in Miller's "Sin City" stories, Shellie not only had a significant role in the story "The Big Fat Kill," but also appeared in two other narratives used in the film: "That Yellow Bastard" and "The Hard Goodbye." However, the character also appears in "A Dame To Kill For," the story which Rodriguez and various other sources have claimed will provide one of the major arcs in "Sin City 2."

In "A Dame To Kill For," Shellie plays a crucial role in setting up a brutal team-up between the »

Sneak Peek "Iron Man 2": The Trailer

19 December 2009 9:23 AM, PST | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »

Sneak Peek the new trailer for the Paramount sequel "Iron Man 2", based on Marvel Comics characters created by writer Stan Lee and illustrators Don Heck/Jack Kirby.

"Iron Man 2" is set six months after the events of "Iron Man", with the secret ' S.H.I.E.L.D.' organization continuing to play a major role.

The film also explores Stark's alcoholism, his unwillingness to accept his advancing age, his glib approach to life while concealing the fact he is Iron Man and his jealously towards love interest 'Pepper' (Gwyneth Paltrow), finding another boyfriend.

Robert Downey Jr. reprising his role as 'Tony Stark' aka 'Iron Man', said the film was not an adaptation of the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline from the comic book series, but more about the 'interim space' between the origin and demon story arc.

The film also stars actors Don Cheadle as 'Col. »

'Iron Man 2' trailer looks totally awesome!

18 December 2009 5:38 PM, PST | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »

Yes! The very first trailer for Jon Favreau's upcoming "Iron Man 2" has landed online, and I highly encourage you to check it out after the jump. This really looks like one badass, awesome sequel, folks!

I want to share my excitement with you because I absolutely loved the first "Iron Man." Pretty much everything worked for me in the film, and I've been waiting for the follow-up ever since I saw No. 1.

"Iron Man 2" won't open until May 7, 2010, but this great trailer gives us something to look forward to. We catch a good look at Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), War Machine (Don Cheadle) and even Black Widow.

The trailer is visually stunning as well, and it seems like Stark is keeping his dry humor. Only this time, the world knows he's Iron Man. Additionally, he has to fight a bunch of mean bad boys at the same time. »

Watch The Iron Man 2 Trailer That Has Exploded Online!

18 December 2009 8:06 AM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »

The first official trailer for Iron Man 2 has finally made its debut, and it’s a doozey. Directed by Jon Favreau and starring Robert Downey Jr., this second film in the successful franchise packs quite a punch. To swatch the trailer right now, click on the clip below. I have to say this movie looks pretty bad-ass! I had been cautiously optimistic based on what I saw from Comic-Con and even though this trailer is almost the exact same, the special effects look much better than I remember and the shots of War Machine at the end is pretty awesome!

Iron Man 2 takes place only six months after Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) revealed his identity as Iron Man at the end of the first movie.In the sequel, Mickey Rourke plays Whiplash while Sam Rockwell is Justin Hammer, a multi-billionaire businessman and a rival of industrialist Stark. »

18 December 2009 7:02 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Like many supporting characters who've risen to starring roles, James Rhodes has sometimes struggled to step out of the shadow of Tony Stark. Thanks to the cinematic success of the Iron Man movie franchise, however, Rhodes is on track to become one of the most talked-about heroes of 2010 as he prepares to don the War Machine armor in "Iron Man 2."

In the spirit of ensuring War Machine's longterm cinematic success, there are a few things to be learned from his comic book history. After all, a lot can happen to a guy over 30 years — not all of it awesome.

The 'Iron Man 2' Trailer: AC/DC, Black Sabbath Bring The Heavy Metal

17 December 2009 10:14 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

The trailer for what is sure to be one of the biggest movies of 2010 hit the Internet last night, and it's a doozy. "Iron Man 2" welcomes back Robert Downey, Jr. as the titular Marvel Comics machine-assisted superhero and welcomes Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson to the fold. Based on the trailer, "Iron Man 2" will bring back everything that audiences loved about the first movie: Downey's indestructible charisma, inventive effects and lots of cool things blowing up.

It also brings back some excellent music. One of the fantastic aspects about the trailer for the first "Iron Man" film was that it went ahead and used Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" as a music cue. (As everybody knows, any use of a Black Sabbath tune automatically makes anything 62 percent more badass.) The "Iron Man 2" trailer brings the Sabbath song in for a callback at the very end »

"The Walking Dead" Television Series (AMC)

Never in my life did I expect to hear Frank Darabont's name in the same sentence as "The Walking Dead," but fate apparently had other plans. Seriously, can you believe that Robert Kirkman's zombie-ridden comic book series will make the leap to live-action television on the same network as the amazing "Mad Men" with Darabont's expert vision at the helm? With movies like "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Mist" to his name, there's no doubt that Darabont »
