Movie poster: ‘The Three Stooges’

Image cache, Movies, News, ,

Sean Hayes (Will & Grace), Chris Diamantopoulos (24), and Will Sasso (MADtv) are Larry, Moe, and Curly in The Three Stooges reboot helmed by the Farrelly Brothers (Dumb and Dumber, There’s Something About Mary). The feature will apparently play out in three half-hour shorts and will follow the three knuckleheads as they grow out of an orphanage and journey into adulthood. The latest sources say the dim-witted trio will find themselves in the middle of a murder plot and then starring in a reality show. Jane Lynch (Glee) and Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm) have been cast as Mother Superior and Sister Mary-Mengele, respectively, and will fill the screen during the Stoooges’ time at the orphanage. Sofia Vergara (Modern Family), Jennifer Hudson, and Stephen Collins round out the impressive supporting cast. A trailer should release soon, but for now we’ll have to deal with this teaser poster featuring silhouettes of Curly and Moe Howard and Larry Fine. According to Deadline, the 20th Century Fox logo is intentionally cropped out; ha! The Three Stooges releases April 4, 2012.

Pixar ventures into new territory with upcoming fairy tale ‘Brave’ [Update: teaser trailer]

Image cache, Movies, News, Video, , , , , , , , , , ,

Oh, isn’t it beautiful? Take some time to scan the official movie poster for Pixar’s Brave above.

Pixar’s thirteenth animated film Brave is going to shake things up on more than one level. Firstly, go girls: Brenda Chapman is helming the film alongside Mark Andrews; she is the Pixar’s first female director. In addition, the movie stars Princess Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald), the first female protagonist in a Pixar film. Second, Brave plans to go where no Pixar film has ventured before. “What we want to get across [with the teaser] is that this story has some darker elements,” co-director Mark Andrews spills to EW. “Not to frighten off our Pixar fans — we’ll still have all the comedy and the great characters. But we get a little bit more intense here.”

The animation is spectacular, and the first official poster really does an impressive job getting that idea across. The detail is incredible. See those stones looming behind the letters? “[They] are actually a pretty important set in the film,” producer Katherine Sarafian tells EW. “We can’t say what happens there, but they were inspired by an actual location in Scotland that we visited multiple times during our research. It was a very powerful setting for the kind of things we want to have happen in the story.”

Here’s a brief synopsis of the story: Brave is set in the mystical Scottish Highlands, where Merida is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). An unruly daughter and an accomplished archer, Merida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. In an attempt to set things right, Merida seeks out an eccentric old Wise Woman (Julie Walters) and is granted an ill-fated wish. Also figuring into Merida’s quest — and serving as comic relief — are the kingdom’s three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), the surly Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson), and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane).

Brave is slated to release in 3D on June 22, 2012. After a look at this grand poster, anticipation is high. A teaser trailer is expected to play before Cars 2 (which hits theatres tomorrow, June 24). Once it hits the ‘Net I’ll make sure to embed it after the break.

Update: The teaser trailer has arrived. And it’s just as gorgeous and thrilling as you probably expected it to be. Watch it after the break.

Poster: The Hangover Part II

Image cache, Movies, , ,

Ah ha, the Wolfpack is back alright. We’ve been teased before, but this time it’s in picture form. Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis), and that vicious-looking monkey find themselves in a bind here, this time in Bangkok. But where’s their best friend Doug (Justin Bartha)? That, my friends, still remains a mystery; but we can guesstimate that his absence will once again catapult the band of brothers into a memorable heap of laugh-out-loud trouble.

The Hangover Part II hits theatres May 26.

Captain America poses for ‘AVENGE’ poster

Image cache, Movies, , ,

As Captain America: The First Avenger inches closer to its July 22 release, Marvel plans to release content the ramp up anticipation.  First up is this war-themed poster featuring Cap, his shield, and dirt flying everywhere. The word AVENGE sits in the middle–is this a hint as to what’s to come in the movie (will he avenge Pearl Harbor?) or is it simply a nod to the upcoming superheros fest The Avengers? Time will tell, but for now I like what I see.

Joaquin Phoenix’s crazy tale set to hit theatres September 10 [Update: trailer posted]

Im Still Here Poster Joaquin Phoenix

Remember when Joaquin Phoenix grew a filthy beard, stopped going to the barber, and decided to quit acting to become a rapper and act like a total idiot (much to our amusement) on Letterman?  Well all of that insanity will culminate in the upcoming (mock?)-umentary film titled I’m Still Here.  Magnolia Pictures recently outed the official poster for the Casey Affleck-directed movie (see above) and it’s been confirmed that it will release wide on September 10.  The press release describes the movie as “sometimes funny, sometimes shocking and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads.  Defying expectations, it deftly explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.”  Are you willing to pay money to find out what exactly happened to Phoenix during his tumultuous days as an actor-turned-hip-hop artist?  Was he for real or was it all just a hoax for a social experiment?

Update: Theatrical trailer posted after the break.

Trailer: Saw 3D

Image cache, Movies, Video, , , ,

The seventh and final chapter in the highest grossing horror film franchise begins with this first theatrical trailer for Saw 3D.  The tagline?  “This October, the traps come alive.”  After a fantastic start (well II was pretty awful, III was freaking awesome), the Saw movies have steadily drifted downhill in value.  Sure the traps are always fun, but for me it was ultimately the twist endings and the John Kramer mythos that hooked me at the start.  After watching this brief trailer and reading what director Kevin Greutert (Saw VI) has to say about the final Saw, I’m excited to see how it’s all going to end.  “There’s something miraculous about creating a final chapter to the Saw chronology that not only gives the core fans everything they want and deserve, but also serves as a perfect introduction to audiences who are new to the series,” says Gruetart who served a role in every Saw movie.  Thoughts from producers Oren Koules and Mark Burg: “It’s been an amazing ride. As filmmakers it was important to us that Saw was one story in seven chapters rather than just a series of sequels.”  Tobin Bell (Jigsaw), Costas Mandylor (Mark Hoffman), and Betsy Russell (Jill Tuck) will reprise their roles.  Also, Cary Elwes (Dr. Lawrence Gordon), who has not been seen since the original Saw (not including archived/flashback footage), is back for revenge.

Besides the sick traps and inventive twists, if there’s anything I’m going to miss from the Saw franchise it’ll be Charlie Clouser’s fantastic and chilling score.  “Hello Zepp”, the song used in the first movie and recycled in the rest of them, will remain one of my favorite instrumentals of all time.  (FYI, it’s the song featured in the trailer above…and can be downloaded here.)

Saw 3D will duke it out with Paranormal Activity 2 this Halloween.  Look after the break for the movie poster.

Teaser trailer: The Social Network

Movies, Video, , , , , ,

The Social Network aka The Facebook Movie stars Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) as Mark Zuckerberg, Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker, as well as Brenda Song (The Suite Life of Zack & Cody), Andrew Garfield (the next Spider-Man), and Rashida Jones (Parks & Recreation).  It’s directed by David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), written by Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing), and executive produced by Scott Rudin, Kevin Spacey, and Michael DeLuca.  Like the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich, the film will focus on the founding of Facebook and all of the internal battles that took place.

I have to say that this teaser is rather bland; it has not piqued my interest in the least to want to see this movie, and that’s what trailers are supposed to do.  If there’s one rewarding aspect to take away from it it’s the amazing score that’s being provided by Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) and Atticus Ross.  “…when I read the script and realized what [Fincher] was up to, I said goodbye to that free time I had planned,” said Reznor on his site.  He calls the movie “really fu**ing good.  And dark!”  Look after the break for the theatrical poster which reads, “You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies.”

Wes Craven signs up for new Scream trilogy

Image cache, Movies, News, , , ,

It has been a full ten years since Scream 3 hit the scene, can you believe it?  And with that special anniversary comes some exciting news: original director Wes Craven has signed up to direct a brand new trilogy that aims to redefine the horror genre yet again.  Dimension Films will back the movies and Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette are set to reprise their roles as Sid, Gale, and Dewey, respectively.  Though he couldn’t reveal Scream 4′s plot (it’s still being written!), Craven did shed some light on what we can expect:

There have been 10 years of no Ghostface, but there has been the movie-within-a-movie Stab. We have fun with the idea of endless sequels, or “sequelitis” as Kevin calls it in the script. Sid goes through these three horrendous things, and Stab was based on those horrible things. And then they’ve been taken by a studio and run into the ground in a series of sequels. She has been off by herself and living her own life, and she’s even written a book that has gotten a lot of critical acclaim. She’s kind of put her life back together in the course of these 10 years. But, certainly, there would be no Scream without Ghostface, so she has to confront him again, but now as a woman who has really come out the darkness of her past.

He also said we can expect the rated-R stamp and a classic Ghostface murder at the start of the film.  Where does the line start?
