I guess this is cool and all, but why does it feel really familiar? Should I have been getting flashes of The Lord of the Rings from a story set in the ancient world? Maybe I’m just worn out from these kinds of movies. I’ll certainly see the film and I’ll probably even like it... though I’d be happier if this was more like director Louis Leterrier’s first movie, Unleashed, than like Transporter 2, which was just preposterous, or like his The Incredible Hulk, which lost its way in the end. But I’m tired of seeing the same old stuff over and over and over again. Maybe I’m just exhausted cuz it’s Friday. Anyway: Sam Worthington is Perseus here, and between Terminator Salvation and Avatar and this, I’m certain he’s the new somebody. I’m not sure which somebody yet, »

This trailer flew under my radar when it was released last week, but I'm glad I finally caught it. From Paris with Love is an action-comedy starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (sporting an American accent) that was co-written by Luc Besson, the godfather of modern European action movies himself. It's directed by Besson's frequent collaborator Pierre Morel, a longtime cinematographer (Transporter, Unleashed) who directed 2004's parkour flick District 13 and hit pay dirt at the beginning of the year with Taken, the surprise smash starring Liam Neeson and Maggie Grace. Despite the From Russia with Love-reminiscent title, it looks decidedly ... »

John Travolta: the name used to be synonymous with dancing, bad accents, Scientology, and mediocre films. Then Pulp Fiction came out and reminded everyone in Hollywood that he’s actually a pretty good leading man. Often times he plays such an intriguing bad guy, that one can’t help but enjoy his performance, whether you want to or not. Arguably, he was the best part about Face/Off, Primary Colors, A Civil Action, The General’s Daughter, Swordfish and even the ridiculous Battlefield Earth.
After this summer’s mild hit The Taking of Pelham 123, Travolta will channel his best Denzel Washington from Training Day in Pierre Morel’s latest action flick From Paris with Love. Co-starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors, August Rush) as an embassy worker who gets paired up with Detective Wax (Travolta) in Paris, the two seem to work together on a French drug deal - or are they? »

Today we have a quick but cool look at the production of the upcoming remake of the classic film, Clash of the Titans, starring Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator Salvation). In addition to this, we also have some new info from Worthington himself about the monsters of the film - the giant scorpions and the infamous Medusa - and the epic scope of it.
First up is some new set footage from Clash of the Titans. The video runs only about a minute long but it gives us a nice look into the filming of one of the more epic remakes in the pipeline - It’s just a neat teasing hint at what’s in store for us from director Louis Leterrier.
I won’t say anymore but rather just let the footage speak for itself. Thanks to MTV, take a look:
Now, about the monsters of the film, back »

While I did not entirely enjoy Ang Lee's "Hulk" from a few years ago, I admit I had quite a blast watching "The Incredible Hulk" from director Louis Leterrier, whose credits also include the so-so "Danny the Dog" and okay "Transporter 2."
Well, according to Moviehole, Leterrier wouldn't mind stepping behind the camera for a "Hulk" sequel. "Sure. I'd return to it. I have some ideas. So many ideas for so many things," Leterrier told the Web site. »

THR reported that the new Titans, which is being helmed by Louis Leterrier (2008's "The Incredible Hulk", the very underrated "Unleashed"), has added Mads Mikkelsen ("Casino Royale"), Gemma Arterton ("Quantum Of Solace") and Alexa Davalos ("The Mist") to the cast which already includes Sam Worthington ("Rogue", "Terminator: Salvation") as the valiant Perseus who must battle both Medusa and the Kraken monster in order to save the Princess Andromeda. Mikkelsen is set to play Draco, who assists Perseus on his quest. Arterton will take on the role of Io, who is instrumental in bringing the winged horse Pegasus to Perseus and Davalos has been cast as Andromeda, the damsel in distress. Filming is set to begin late this spring, and since there are a lot more characters involved with... »

Okay, so I will be the first to admit that I am getting kind of tired of the endless remake films that seems to be plaguing Hollywood these days. However, I must say that I am a little more than intrigued by the Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures remake of the1981 legendary classic Clash of the Titans.
