Nuff said really.

The latest trailer for Hellboy 2: The Golden Army is one of the most cluttered of the year. Universal and Guillermo del Toro have just thrown out as many cool shots as they could find and tons and tons of unique monsters.

But I do like my monsters and at Universal you need to include the coolest of them around to survive and live up to the studio’s name.

Let’s not forget this second Hellboy story when it opens in July. It is a year flooded with blockbusters quite like no-other but unlike some of them, I have not one shred of doubt in my mind that this will be a fun movie. And after last year’s summer hits… that is something I most definitely need.

There’s always a new Judd Apatow movie on the horizon. You can’t avoid them guys, he has too many people wanting to jump onto the bandwagon.

Opening in August (Sept for UK) is The Pineapple Express, a strange choice of film for the critically acclaimed indie director David Gordon Green who looks to give us his take on Pulp Fiction with his comedic drugs/gangster flick.

If you missed the brilliant red band trailer, you can see it HERE.

Well worth a look!

Seth Rogen, James Franco, Danny McBride and Amber Heard are the main players and the pretty lame first poster can be seen below. Still lots of time for the guys to come up with something better because there ain’t no way I would ever be interested in this movie if I knew nothing about it and only saw this…

Crazy, crazy news story from the good folks at Latino Review who have rarely been wrong in the past when it comes to blockbuster scoops for the biggest movies in Hollywood.

The site carry the exclusive news that Brendan Fraser will appear in G.I. Joe for a brief cameo (possibly setting up the chance to appear in future movies) and Sommers is trying desperately hard to convince The Rock to appear in a significant role. Both actors worked with Sommers on The Mummy franchise.

In Brendan Fraser’s case, they claim he has already shot a one scene cameo in the training sequence segment of the film as Gung-Ho, who looks like a rather goofy fellow…

They also claim an offer has been made to The Rock to play Shipwreck…

Joe isn’t my strong point so I have no idea who these guys are. We await some kind of confirmation.

This ain’t going to be the rather goofy version of the character that Will Eisner created.

This is Frank Miller baby. The guy who pretty much helped shape the Batman we know today with his stories and drawings, the guy who gave us a film noir like no other full of Booze, Broads & Bullets in his Sin City series which he also helped turn into the greatest literal movie adaptation of a comic book yet.

The guy who made shirt less historical epics cool again with 300.

It’s going to be dark, brooding, gloomy, very sexy (Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes, Jaime King - in a Frank Miller movie - wow!), violent. It’s going to be as if Batman lived in Sin City.

Wonder if he has shot the film black and white too. You know I really do love the “Adam West’ vibe of the original incarnation of The Spirit but I frikkin’ love Frank Miller and film noir is one of my favourite genres.

My City Screams - She is My Lover - And I am her Spirit!

Hell yeah.

Gabriel Macht stars as the Spirit - Samuel L. Jackson is the bad guy (the disfigured Octopus) and a ton of sexy faces and bodies when it opens in January.

Michael Mann is sure attracting some talented people for his John Dillinger biopic.

Filming is already well under-way but Variety have informed us that Billy Crudup has joined the cast as J. Edgar Hoover, the first director of the F.B.I. in the 1930’s whose number one target was Dillinger (Johny Depp) and his gang.

As we already know the awesome Christian Bale will be the cop who becomes hell bent on chasing Dillinger down (think Russell Crowe in American Gangster). Recent Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard plays Dillinger’s girlfriend - whilst Giovanni Ribisi, Channing Tatum, David Wenham, Stephen Dorff, John Ortiz, Stephen Graham and Jason Clarke make up the members of his gang.

Also cast is Stephen Lang as Winstead, the leader of some Texas Rangers who are also on the hunt for Dillinger.

This is one of my most anticipated movies in production right now and I’m hoping Mann can deliver the third great Gangster movie of recent times after The Departed and American Gangster which his peers Ridley Scott & Martin Scorsese revelled in.

Universal’s big screen remake of the classic t.v. show Magnum P.I. might be further down the development road than you might think if EW are to be believed.

They claim that a script from writer/director Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball) has been sent to Matthew McConaughey who has actually been offered the lead role made famous by Tom Selleck in the 80’s and will decide shortly if he wants it.

Presumably Universal have been impressed by McConaughey’s ability to look good without his shirt on in exotic locations because it can’t be for any of the acting performances he has given recently.

Huge mis-casting here?

Whenever these adaptations of old t.v. shows are talked about I always use Starsky & Hutch and The Dukes of Hazzard as the two benchmarks for HOW NOT to do this kind of translation. McConaughey’s potential casting and the fact that the guy who made Dodgeball looks to be writing/directing - is not at all encouraging.

Couldn’t Tom Selleck not get back into shape and do an Indiana Jones style comeback? Surely he ain’t that over the hill to warrant being replaced by McConaughey?

Love these images that I stumbled across for The Dark Knight over at IESB. I’m not sure how long we will be able to keep them up for but these are completely different to any screenshots currently online for the film.

Really like the last image which I think confirms to us one or two things that we were speculating on last year.

And what about the image of Heath Ledger as a cop without the face paint? Does that signify to us that the make-up on the Joker is self-inflicted and something he wears everyday?

Less than four months to go. People should start seeing Nolan’s cut very soon but we shall try and stay away from screening spoilers as much as possible.

A stroke of great casting right here.

Variety say Thomas Haden Church will play Walter Keane in Big Eyes, the bastard who became a celebrity in the 50’s and 60’s when he took credit for his socially shy wife’s (to be played by Kate Hudson) best selling paintings of big-eyed children.

The film comes from two of the best screenwriters of biopics - Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (Man on the Moon, Ed Wood, The People vs. Larry Flint) who will be directing the feature too.

We’ve spoken about the film many times, it’s a tale that seems perfect for film - especially it’s climax.

Great choice of casting  - as much as I sometimes go on about Kate Hudson and her career choices, here I think she will be brilliant as the small feeling and socially inept painter and with the mammoth figure of Church and his ability to play sickly smooth as her husband, this could make for one uncomfortable movie!

American actress Amanda Righetti turns 25 tomorrow and she can celebrate a little harder than usual tomorrow, she has just landed her biggest role to date. Variety say she will be leading the Platinum Dunes remake of Friday the 13th which will begin lensing in just a few weeks time in Austin, Texas.

Righetti you might recognize from a brief recurring role on The O.C. and K-Ville. She was also the lead in the straight to dvd horror Return to House on Haunted Hill which came out last year.

Derek Mears plays the new Jason Voorhees and Jared Padalecki plays a cop who visits the cabin at camp crystal lake to investigate a set of related murders (the killing spree has already begun in this new franchise) and IMDB also have Cloverfield actress Odette Yustman listed for the film.

Michael Nispel (Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, Pathfinder) directs.

I think a name change will be in order here.

The Hollywood Reporter say that Warner Bros. have struck a deal with writer Dan Simmons for the future intention of bringing his fantasy series Hyperion Cantos to the big screen with relatively unknown scribe Trevor Sands to translate the first two novels (Hyperion & The Fall of Hyperion) into one big feature.

It’s been a long journey to the screen for the series. The first novel won a Hugo Award some 18 years ago now for what has been described as a “space opera”…

“Hyperion” deals with a space war, with most of the action taking place on a planet named Hyperion, known not only for its electricity-spewing trees but also for the Time Tombs, large artifacts that can move through time. The tombs are guarded by a monster called the Shrike, which impales people on metal trees.

The series has a massive wiki entry. It’s one of those big universe novels.

I’ve never heard of the series personally but it does seem well respected around science fiction circles. Hopefully it will attract the attention of a good sci-fi director, Alex Proyas perhaps?
