Got some news here for everybody, both new and old. News. That’s a funny word if you think of it as a plural noun.

The Wolfman

There are a whole slew of The Wolfman screens that have been released, but most of them are straight out of the amazing recently released trailer. So why don’t you just check that out?

Del Toro = Best casting ever! Anthony Hopkins being creepy again! Hugo Weaving… as Hugo Weaving (plus awesome ’stache!) and Emily Blunt, who was wonderful in Sunshine Cleaning if you haven’t seen it.

Priest

The Hollywood Reporter… reports that Karl Urban will be playing the villain, Black Hat, in Priest; a horror-western starring Paul Bettany as (according to IMDB) a priest who disobeys church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece. As tired as I am of vampires, this sounds awesome. Plus, check out the poster:

Holy shit! What is wrong with Paul Bettany?

Youth in Revolt

I was just talking about how tired I am getting of Michael Cera as Michael Cera, but I can’t help but be interested in Youth in Revolt. It’s based off a book (which I haven’t read) but that almost always promises a bump in quality, and Cera gets to play himself, and the opposite of himself. Plus it’s nice to see other people with the same caliber of mustache growing abilities as myself - even if he is like 15 or whatever.

Jennifer’s Body

As if there is any need to be more excited about this movie, a video from the set of Jennifer’s Body has been released, and every moment of footage makes it look better.

While we’re on the topic of hot chicks, there are a couple more stories that fall into that category. As was announced a while back, Angelina Jolie will in fact, be in Wanted 2. Timur Bekmanbetov told MTV “If you remember from the first film, we have a recovery room with the baths of wax. We know how to do this, but it’s still tough to do, because the bullet is inside her head.” So… yeah. Alright. He goes on to say ‘But there has to be a reason for her to come back…’ Uh… hello!? It’s Angelina Jolie? That’s reason enough for me.

Mila Kunis is everywhere these days, and I can’t say that’s a bad thing. In fact, it’s basically as far as you can get from a bad thing. Between the Book of Eli, and Extract (trailer below) that’s awesome enough, but she’s also going to be in Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, which according to ScriptShadow who “has a copy of the script”, there is a sex scene. Wait, it gets better. I know, sounds impossible, right? There is a sex scene between Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman. It still gets better… ScriptShadow says it’s “not just nice sweet innocent sex either. We’re talking ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry sex.” Don’t get too excited though. I know, that’s like saying “stop breathing… forever”, but Mila was asked about it at a roundtable interview for Extract (trailer still further below), and she wouldn’t confirm it. She only said ‘Yes. I’ve heard about this from everybody. I mean, something got out.’ But hey, she also didn’t deny it. Below is a work-safe version of an imagining of what 10% of how awesome that scene could be, might look like. Does that make sense? Read it again, slower.

Oh yeah, and here’s that Extract trailer.

Randoms

I’m going to toss out a slew of some random updates now. John Landis, who has been basically silent since 1998 is finally returning to film with Burke and Hare in which Simon Pegg will star as a murderer. And no, it’s not a comedy. Awesome? I think so.

Speaking of awesome, The Expendables was already about as chock-full of awesome as it was going to get with Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Mickey Rourke, but Stallone went ahead and threw Bruce Willis into the mix, just to see if he could actually make a movie theatre explode.

Speaking of exploding- OK, not really, but here is the teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s new movie, Inception, and it’s just enough to make me want to see it. It’s got the feel of the first Matrix teaser to me, in that while watching it, I’m like “Whoa! Whoa! Whaaaa-? Crazy! What’s happening? What is up with that? Wow, special effects!” I’m going to do my best to see as little of this movie as I can before watching it. That should prove to be nigh impossible.

I shall leave you, kind reader with the most incredible rejected poster in recent memory, which should have been for Inglorious Basterds. That the Weinstein brothers looked at this and said ‘Naw… pass.’ just goes to show that they have some serious judgment issues.

BEST POSTER EVER
