Yes Man (Peyton Reed, 2008)

Remember Jim Carrey in Liar, Liar, where he forces himself to tell the truth for 24 hours? Well, here Jim Carrey forces himself to answer yes to any request, for a year. Which is upping the ante somewhat, but doesn't make it a better film. This is a return to the manic, gurning, not-very-funny Carrey, as if The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine etc hadn't happened. Just say no.
The Golden Compass (Chris Weitz, 2007)

More story in new Clash Of The Titans trailer

A high quality version of the second trailer for Louis Leterrier's (Unleashed, Transporter 2) remake of Clash of the Titans has leaked online and thanks to firstshowing we've got it for you here.
While the first trailer was high on the action montage and riff-rock, it was certainly low on story. This trailer definitely makes the film feel more like a classic fantasy tale.
Synopsis:
A remake of the 1981 film version of the myth of Perseus and his quest to battle both Medusa and the Kraken monster in order to save the Princess Andromeda.
The reboot stars genre it-boy, Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton and Jason Flemyng.
New trailer after the break.

Two Badass Official Posters Revealed for Clash of the Titans

Warner Brothers has finally debut the first two official posters for Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans today on Yahoo. We've already seen some of these before, as a big batch of posters leaked out back in November. However, now we get nice, clean, high res looks at these posters for the Clash of the Titans and I've got to say I'm pretty damn impressed. As a huge fan of the original movie, I've been very nervous about this remake, but these posters are exactly what I wanted to see for a modern day rehash of the epic man vs myth story. Combined with that teaser trailer (that I liked), I've got to say I'm pretty damn excited for this!
Follows Perseus and his quest to battle Medusa and the Kraken in order to save the Princess Andromeda.
Clash of the Titans is directed by French filmmaker Louis Leterrier,

Check out the new poster for action/thriller “From Paris with Love,” Pierre Morel’s follow-up to “Taken.”
A low-ranking intelligence operative (Meyers) working in the office of the U.S. Ambassador in France takes on more than he bargained for when he partners with a wisecracking, fast-shooting, high-ranking U.S. agent (Travolta) who’s been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack.
“From Paris with Love” is directed by French filmmaker Pierre Morel (The Transporter, Taken), stars John Travolta (The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, Pulp Fiction) and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors, Mission Impossible: III). The film also stars Kasia Smutniak, Amber Rose Revah, Melissa Mars, Richard Durden and Farid Elouardi.
Luc Besson (The Transporter, Fifth Element, Taken, Danny the Dog) and Adi Hasak (Shadow Conspiracy) penned the screenplay.
“From Paris With Love” is set to hit theatres on February 19th, 2010.

trailer break: ‘Clash of the Titans’ teaser

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,

‘From Paris with Love’ Red Band Trailer

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

Louis Leterrier would do 'Hulk 2' while Matthew Vaughn would love to direct 'Avengers'

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.

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.
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.
