Avatar 2nd Trailer redeems the movie

as well as tells you what this whole thing is about. Great use of the soundtrack from “The Island.” If you haven’t seen this one yet, it just might reboot the hype of this film. Also just in case you forgot, this trailer gives you the director’s complete filmography, oh well, it works.

Syfy rebooting ‘The Phantom’

Summit Entertainment Remaking ‘Highlander’

Justin Lin of ‘Better Luck Tomorrow’ and ‘Fast & Furious’ to direct new remake of classic movie & tv series ‘Highlander.’ ‘Iron Man’ writers penning script. This will be… awesome!

He fought his first battle on the Scottish Highlands in 1536. He will fight his greatest battle on the streets of New York City in 1986. His name is Connor MacLeod. He is immortal. -imdb

The only way they die is by cutting off their heads… with swords. No really, this was a really fantastic franchise. Glad to see it being brought into the modern era.

Nicole Kidman to star as the first male who underwent a sex change in ‘The Danish Girl’

From Tomas Alfredson, director of the indie vampire hit ‘Let The Right One In’ comes an adaptation of David Ebershoff’s book. Period piece set in 1931 about the first man to receive a sex change operation. And somehow he turns out looking like Nicole Kidman. Wow.

Trailer for ‘Paranormal Activity,’ hailed as the next ‘Blair Witch’

The film was shot for $11,000 over the period of one week, for the most part with two actors in a house. Directed by first time writer/director Oren Peli, Paranormal Activity is inspired by Peli’s own experiences with strange noises after moving into a new house. The film centers around a young couple (played by Micah Sloat and Katie Featherstone) who learn that their house is haunted, and end up having increasingly disturbing experiences.

Looks really interesting, and genuinely creepy.

New ‘Stone’ Trailer

Edward Norton stars as a convicted arsonist who looks to manipulate a parole officer (Robert De Niro) into a plan to secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife (Mila Jovovich) in the lawman’s path.

Looks like another well acted dramatic Edward Norton movie. I really liked his role in ‘American History X,’ and this one is bringing that hard criminal edge back. Looking forward to it.

Watched the premiere of ‘Vampire Diaries’ on CW the other day

and I must say it was very disappointing. There was nothing likeable about anyone except the main actress, and even then, the story got tedious within the first 30 minutes. This series might redeem itself like ‘Dollhouse,’ but somehow I doubt it. If you want to see vampires on TV, stick to ‘True Blood.’

Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ Movie Trailer

Sony Pictures finalized a deal Monday to release a musical film composed from 80 hours of rehearsal footage shot in preparation for the 50 London concerts Jackson was preparing when he died June 25.

Named after the title of those concerts, which Jackson had vowed would be his last, the movie This Is It is scheduled for release Oct. 30.

Sequences will be in 3-D, and new interviews are planned with those who knew and worked with Jackson on the incomplete project.

His dances are still captivating even now, its too bad I never got to see any of the King of Pop’s concerts before.

Ellen to inject humor into ‘American Idol’

In a pretty surprising move, Idol has hired Ellen to replace Paula as one of the main judges in the highest rated television show in America.

“I’m thrilled to be the new judge on ‘American Idol,’” DeGeneres said in a statement. ”I’ve watched since the beginning, and I’ve always been a huge fan. So getting this job is a dream come true, and think of all the money I’ll save from not having to text in my vote.”

“I could not be more excited to have Ellen join the ‘American Idol’ family,” said creator and executive producer Simon Fuller. “Ellen has been a fan of the show for many years, and her love of music and understanding of the American public will bring a unique human touch to our judging panel. I can’t wait for this next season to begin.”

Neither can I.

‘Hancock’ stars to return for sequel

“Everybody’s going to come back for a sequel,” said the director (Peter Berg) in response to a question about Will Smith and Charlize Theron.

“Riding the Will Smith train is a really nice train to ride!” says Theron.

For the sequel, Berg said we can expect the appearance of at least one more all-powerful god. What’s more, he’s got his eye on a well-known name to play a third superhero.

“We have [someone in mind],” Berg said. “I’m not gonna tell you who, but we have!”

New TV spot for ‘Ninja Assassin’

From the director of ‘V for Vendetta’ comes a new movie about… you guessed it, ninjas. Action looks fierce, the director definitely picked up some stuff doing assistant work on the Matrix films and Speed Racer. Looking forward to it.
