Rama’s SCREEN

The movie title itself already gives a reason to laugh.
Since it’s weekend I figured let’s watch some clips from John C. Reilly’s new comedy film made by Judd Apatow and ‘Freaks & Geeks’ buddy Jake Kasdan WALK HARD: THE DEWEY COX Movie opens December 21st. It’s a music biopic spoof, a little heads up though… it is a rated R humor so some of these clips might be funny to only some of us and that includes yours truly

While William Shatner is still bitter about the fact that the invitation from J.J. Abrams for Shatner to join STAR TREK Prequel got lost in the mail, George Takei managed to be part of the new project about the crew members of Star Trek Enterprise when they were young.
George Takei, more known as Sulu will definitely make a brief appearance.

George will join Leonard Nimoy for flash forward scenes. The rumor is that the old Spock will go back in time to prevent bad guys from killing young Capt. Kirk.
The crew of the S.S. Enterprise will include actor John Cho (Harold & Kumar) as young Sulu.

George Takei/Sulu

Not bad at all, I mean… to have Nimoy and Takei involved in the movie but not Priceline’s Shatner is still messed up but Takei himself is an entertaining fellow.
His role in TV’s Heroes as Hiro’s dad cracked me up cause all I could think of was Sulu.
George Takei surprisingly got a dirty sense of humor.I remember Comedy Central’s the Roast of William Shatner back in 2006 and still laugh at some of things he actually said about Old Fat Kirk.
BTW, FYI, “The Roast Of’”… is kinda like AFI Life Achievement Award but instead of honoring the person, a bunch of foul mouthed comedians get to mock and ridicule and say the nastiest things about the man/woman of the hour.

Awesome, dude! Jack Black and Mos Def are surfing on a giant video tape and since the movie is about two guys re-enacting movies and film it their style, youtube style, it’s practically fair to have a movie poster with the design or background that looks like a half-ass job or a coloring book.
BE KIND REWIND opens in theaters on the same day as RAMBO, January 25th, 2008. Maybe Mos and Jack ought to do RAMBO movie too.

Here are two more clips of sweded trailers, meaning fan-made trailers done by Jack’s character and Mos Def’s character from the movie BE KIND REWIND.
The first clip is The Ghostbuster sweded trailer and the second one is Robocop sweded trailer.
These clips make fun of bad acting, right Jessica Alba? And Jessica Alba nods her head without even knowing why.

Al Roker is the luckiest weatherman in the whole world, not only is he likable and he gets paid big time by NBC, he also gets to do cool gigs like going to the set of THE DARK KNIGHT and interviewing Batman himself, Mr. Christian Bale,.. not that stupid Hammer dude from JLA Movie.

They talked about the Batman character presented by the franchise as someone with somewhat of a multipler personality and they also talk about the famous Batman suit.
Al Roker then listens as Aaron Eckhart describes to him who Harvey Dent is.
Director Christopher Nolan also tells Al Roker what it was like working on a project with great talents.

Here’s the clip:

It’s all confirmed today by Empireonline, IESB and all the other movie news sources out there. What’s confirmed?
The cast of George Miller’s JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA Movie so far… or as anyone with a healthy movie sense would call it: The I-CAN’T-BELIEVE-THEY’RE-STILL-GONNA-MAKE-THIS-MOVIE Movie.

And so here they are, the list of people perfect for Halloween party and the singing telegram service:

1). Armie Hammer as Batman
How dare he plays my favorite superhero! This Hammer dude looks like one of those high school jocks who end up flipping burgers for a living.
Him playing Batman is not cool, man! Christian Bale should give him the beating of his lifetime.

2). Megan Gale as Wonder Woman
No argument here…
What?! What do you want me to say? She’s perfect for the part. Who knows if she has the Xena fighting skills that the Wonder Woman role requires but… well alright! I’m a sucker for beautiful women, you got me!

3). Adam Brody as The Flash
Hahaha! Sorry, I had to laugh!
The big reason why I never liked the TV series The O.C. was Adam Brody’s annoying voice. There’s just something wrong with his speech ability or something.
Since he’s going to be The Flash, I hope his scenes in the movie will come and go as fast as he runs.

4). Common as The Green Lantern
I never took The Green Lantern for a rapper, maybe he can rap his way out of this movie.

In conclusion: though JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA Movie won’t be released until possibly 2010, we can now know for sure, more than ever, that Hollywood’s greedy effort to make money off us the audiences during summer season has hit an all time low. They’d even go to any measure and that includes making bad casting, just to make a few bucks.

At last, my arm is complete! Actually that’s a line from Sweeney Todd but this big red picture completes the team from Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense or in simple English… Hellboy and his kick ass friends.
The collection of posters provided by the official website started with Liz Sherman’s attractive stare three days ago.

Look at the make up work on that face? Would you want to sit for hours and be transformed into that?
But HELLBOY here looks like he just bought American Gangster’s street drugs and is currently enjoying it.

HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY, directed by Guillermo Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth), will open July 11, 2008 and it stars Ron Pearlman again as the red demon defender against the forces of darkness. In this sequel a bunch of rebellious creatures from the mythical world are waging a war against humanity and Hellboy and his gang must fight to save the world in the battle that’s diabolically massive.

Empire magazine may have started the frenzy but Wizard magazine doesn’t wanna be left out of the competition, THE JOKER will also be headlining their next issue. On top of that they also got the first look dibs on TRANSFORMERS 2. I gotta check this one out as soon as it hits the stand.
The Joker featured in another magazine, the beginning of many more to come. For a guy who can scare a whole city with his laughter he sure knows how to get publicity.

It’s getting easier and easier these days to get just about any clips and trailers available online.
Do you remember how terrible it was a decade ago, having to wait for the TV to show us the latest behind-the-scene featurette of any kind of movie?!
Here are three additional featurettes of Johnny Depp’s upcoming horror musical movie SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET about a man whose wife and daughter were taken from him and years of madness have turned him into a singing serial killer.

The first clip is the cast talking about the casting and the joy of working with one another, bla, bla, bla.
The third clip is about taking a Broadway act and making it a movie.
The second clip is the history behind the story
So for those of you who want to see more of American Depp trying to do British accent for one more time,
SWEENEY TODD will slice and dice this Christmas.

Thanks to joblo for the pointers, there’s a grabload of I AM LEGEND banners from moviesoonhk.com. They’re pictures of what the world would look like if it got wiped out by Scary Movie 5, I mean.. Virus.
There’s Hong Kong, London, Australia, and other Major cities.
Some pretty neat images.
I think it’d be kinda cool to be the last human on earth, think of all the fun stuff you can do cause no one is around…. but in Will Smith’s case, something is around, something not human anmore.

The Blonde Australian femme fatale from the spoof film Date Movie, Sophie Monk, will be in another spoof film franchise SCARY MOVIE 5. Once again, Ana Faris is going to be in this one, too.
The word is that Hulk Hogan might have a part.

Sophie Monk

Why O Why do they need do this forever?!
Scary Movie 1 and 2 were the only funny ones, that’s it!
The Wayans Brothers with their rated R humor, now that was funny!
Ever since the supposedly spoofmeister David Zucker (Airplane!, The Naked Gun) took over and turn it into PG-13, this franchise has gone down the drain. I remember watching the third and fourth installments in theaters and nobody laughed, in fact everyone came out of there pissed off.

Shawn Wayans himself actually has something to say about all this during the conversation with moviepicturefilm.com

“We are not involved in 3, 4 or 5 no matter what rumors are put out there.
Yeah, they sucked. “Scary Movie 2″ was better than both of them and it wasn’t our best one, we know that, we were rushed to do that movie…the studio that was doing them”

That’s right, Shawn! Preach it!
I thought the TV series The Wayans Bros. was awesome! They should’ve kept making that.
Shawn and his brother Marlon are planning to make the movie version of The Munsters, but it’s going to be PG-13 and he says why:…

“The Munsters” is going to be PG-13 as well. You know what happened with the rated R thing is that we were doing our rated R comedies and then they started clamping down on kids going into the theater. So kids would still be sneaking into our movie but would be paying to see something else. So none of the box office went to our movie, yet everyone still saw it. Business wise, it made it tough for us to continue doing them.”

Sneaky little punks… movie-hopping and all.
Well, I can’t really judge them and on the other hand, Shawn does have a point because at the end of the day… it’s nothing personal, it’s just business… right?

Another teaser poster has been released by Hellboy II official website. Yesterday we had Liz Sherman and now, this one is Abe Sapien played by actor Doug Jones who also played the faun in Pan’s Labyrinth. This guy is comfortable working under prosthetics. It is reported that his make up for the character Abe Sapien would take six hours.

Not to mention he’d have to act and mime every day on the set (because the voice is dubbed by David Hyde Pierce). Doesn’t it get tiring and hot and sticky after a while?
ABE SAPIEN is a friend of Hellboy and Liz Sherman, in the movie Abe has the power to touch and object and see the past or the future that the item may hold.
Tomorrow be sure to expect the third teaser poster and it’s going to be none other than Hellboy himself. So be sure to check with Rama’s SCREEN!

HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY, directed by Guillermo Del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth), will open July 11, 2008 and it stars Ron Pearlman again as the red demon defender against the forces of darkness. In this sequel a bunch of rebellious creatures from the mythical world are waging a war against humanity and Hellboy and his gang must fight to save the world in the battle that’s diabolically massive.

I’m sure this poster isn’t going to be the last but it sure is the latest from the great Steven Spielberg and the gang who managed to convince Harrison Ford to take on another adventure. As you can see from this poster, it opens Memorial Day… that’s May 22nd, 2008 for those of you who can’t keep track of your holidays.
Oddly, in this poster, there isn’t any mentioning of the movie title INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL and it seems like it’s a compilation of many images from its predecessors.

The movie also stars Cate Blanchett, Ray Winstone, Karen Allen and Shia LaBeouf and yet their faces are not shown yet on this poster, so far it’s just paintings of different faces of Harrison Ford as Dr. Indiana Jones. Maybe soon enough or later on they’ll release a much cooler poster that would have all the cast and an image of this so-called Crystal Skull.

aintitcool has the firstlook of the concept art for James Cameron’s upcoming 3-D sci-fi thriller AVATAR about an ex-marine who is forced to settle in a planet rich with bio diversity. He eventually leads the indigenous race in a battle for survival.
AVATAR won’t be out til May 22nd of 2009, but for some reason, this concept art looks a lot like if X-Men’s Mystique and Beowulf’s Angelina Jolie had a lovechild.

Now there has been many movies about heist and theft and some of them will guarantee laughter. This, in my opinion, is one of those and here’s why… because Ice Cube and Tracy Morgan will be desperate enough to steal money from a church.
This movie better have a point to it before lightning bolt hits them in the head.

Cube and Morgan are petty criminals who need to a debt so they decide to rob their neighborhood church but the money is gone and they spend the night with some hostages, one of them is the funny Katt Williams, he usually plays a pimp in other movies. The movie attends theaters everywhere January 11th, 2008 and here’s the trailer

joblo got the latest picture from director Adam Sandler’s next comedy film YOU DON’T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN where Adam gets to play Israel’s Mossad agent who fakes his own death to go to NYC to become a hairstylist. Ha! I’m already laughing. Mossad is like the Israel’s version of CIA, they’re portrayed in the movie The Munich.

What will make this even worth watching is the fact that the collaboration of those who wrote the whole storyline includes Adam Sandler, Judd Apatow, and Robert Smigel, the genius behind SNL’s TV Funhouse.
The word is that the diva who had a breakdown and yet still has a gorgeous body and magnificent vocal skills, Mariah Carey might participate in the project.
This will be one of those Adam Sandler’s films where he’d bring his friends along with him like Rob Schneider, even Henry “The Fonze” Winkler (Click) is gonna be in it, and also the late Chris Farley’s youngest brother John Farley.
ZOHAN will come to America June 6th, 2008.

These fake situations are hilarious so I figured… let’s watch them again here. Thank you, Judd and thank you, funnyordie.com

If you watch the movie Enchanted at El Capitan theater you’ll probably be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the new trailer for the upcoming NARNIA Movie: PRINCE CASPIAN.
The trailer’s not up online yet and that’s because it’s only showing in only that one place.

This is pretty cool because I believe that a superhero means nothing if he or she is not vulnerable. That’s what I find impressive about Batman because he’s all human, he can die anytime, he doesn’t come with superpowers and yet Gotham’s bad guys fear the man because he knows how to use fear and anger and turn them into weapons, that and he’s got skills and brains and a really awesome Batmobile.
Hulk, on the other hand, is as strong as an ox, ok let’s make that a thousand oxes,… so not the joker.. not even a million Green Goblins can knock him out. That’s no fun! Where’s the fun in having a superhero that’s way too hard to kill?!
So that’s why I’m looking forward for the movie THE INCREDIBLE HULK which is a reboot, like fresh from ground up without any continuation from Ang Lee’s HULK a few years ago, which turned out to be a huge green disappointment.

Wizard Entertainment got to talk with director Lou Leterrier about why it is necessary to do this film for the fans:

“It’s a fresh start because I saw there is a real fan base for Ang Lee’s movie. I didn’t want to offend [those fans] in any way, and also I like the movie. It was very interesting. [But] it was weaker ground to build a big franchise upon so we decided to scrap it and establish it from bases that are more comic book-based and TV show-based.”

Director Lou Leterrier

the Abomination, Emil Blonsky, was who Marvel wanted to put in this chapter—the first chapter of our new saga—because he’s the most famous. He’s an enemy that can actually threaten the Hulk. It’s very important for me that there is a danger. When Bruce Banner is Hulk, I didn’t feel in Ang Lee’s ‘Hulk’ that there was any threat. He was invincible. So with Abomination there’s actually a monster that can, you know, kill him when he’s in the Hulk form.”

BTW, THE INCREDIBLE HULK will crash theaters everywhere June 13, 2008.

Personally, those eyes have the power to invite me to commit everything that’s wrong. This image will most likely end up as one of the posters for the movie, there’ll more to come I assume.

It’s been a while since the last time I heard anything about this plan of making the movie version of the old crime-fighting duo adventure: THE GREEN HORNET. Seth Rogen (Knocked Up) is currently Hollywood’s most popular funnyman, and I agree with that… what I don’t agree is him playing the Green Hornet because it should not be a comedy film.
I can take an idea for a sequel to Superbad, which he wrote, but Seth wearing a mask and costume and kicking ass. I just don’t see it.

Seth recently had a conversation with MTV.
They’re really gonna make it happen. He said it will not be an ordinary hero movie, it won’t be about how it all came to be.

Here’s basically what he has to say about all this:

“Just a few weeks ago, [co-writer Evan Goldberg and I] laid out our outline for the movie to the studio, and before the phone call, Evan and I were like, ‘This is not like any superhero movie — they might just hate that,’ ” Rogen recalled. ” ‘It’s not using any of the normal superhero movie formats. It’s not an origin story. It’s more like a regular action movie.’ [But] they really liked it and told us to go for it.”

Well then… if he keeps his word, maybe this movie might turn out to be okay after all. But does he necessarily have to cast himself as the main character? Can’t he just write for the thing or just sit back and direct?!
Seth Rogen making an action movie, I guess I can’t blame the guy for trying to be well-rounded.
Speaking of well-rounded, Seth said he’s planning to get fit for the role.

The comedian told MTV News that he’s getting buff for his starring role as the flick’s titular character. Well, sort of. “You should believe that I can do some physical activity,” Rogen laughed. “You have to believe I can do something.”

Maybe he should hire whoever prepped Will Smith for the movie Ali. The transformation of skinny Will became buff Will was like a miracle. But Seth better start on some Slim Fast diet first because right now he literally doesn’t have the body of an action hero.
I’ve told you guys before that I think George Clooney should play The Green Hornet and Jet Li should play Kato.
But it seems like Seth has his vision set on casting either Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle) or Tony Jaa (Ong Bak).
I’d choose Stephen Chow cause at least he can act.
I’m kinda tired of Tony Jaa’s method of fighting anyway, with knees and elbows.
Muay Thai is still one of the most effective fighting skills ever but it’s still more entertaining to see Kung Fu moves on the big screen, right?
