Rama’s SCREEN

These pictures have been released by slashfilm for quite some time now. I figured if I don’t share this with you then that would make me a terrible movie buff.
It’s a movie about the first gay American to be elected as public official. His name was Harvey Milk and he will be played by Sean Penn who has the appearance of a hippie complete with beard and pony tail. He’s accompanied by his gay activist friend Cleve Jones, played by Sean’s Into The Wild star Emile Hirsch. This movie has yet to have an official title but it’s been called MILK.

Directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Finding Forrester).
Harvey Milk was the city supervisor of San Francisco, California. He was assassinated in 1978 and his famous quote was “If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.”

Sylvester Stallone said during Rambo premiere that he’s not going to make anymore Rambo or Rocky film. He’s done reprising those roles once and for all.
He’s finally realized that not a steroid in the world could make him strong enough to go through another Rocky or Rambo movie.

This is what Sly Stallone said…

“This is the last Rambo just as Rocky Balboa is the last Rocky,”
“I can’t go any further. It was a miracle that it even got done.”

Well… this goes against everything that producer Weinstein said the other day about how he wants to bring Rambo back to fight in the Untied States. I guess if it has to come down to that, then Weinstein better find another actor to play the main role because Sly’s is basically saying “Nevermore, Nevermore” to both iconic characters… I use the “nevermore” phrase because the word is that he wants to film a movie about Edgar Allen Poe and he’s thinking Robert Downey Jr. to play the part

It’s about time he finishes this nonsense anyway… he’s well off, he should enjoy his retirement or he could just help produce projects by other filmmakers.
I just hope he doesn’t wake up one morning and out of the blue he gets the inspiration to film Judge Dread 2. Not a word could describe how horrible that would be.

I wonder what Sylvester Stallone would think about the upcoming movie SON OF RAMBOW…

I’m not one to like spoof movies but you have got to check out this trailer!
You know how they usually put the funny scenes only in the trailer and it looks better than the movie… well this is one excellent example.
This clip makes me want to check out this movie when it comes out in theaters March 28th.
The costume suit is plain light green, I think it plays a mockery on the whole visual green screen effect.
I wish they’d called it something else other than “Superhero Movie” because clearly, it only makes fun of Spiderman.
The only flipside to it all is that it’s made by the guy behind the scripts of Scary Movie 3 and Scary Movie 4, which we all know were nothing compared to the first two films in the franchise.

A high school loser Rick Riker develops superhuman abilities like incredible strength and armored skin. He becomes a costumed crime fighter known as “The Dragonfly.” Standing in the way of his destiny is the villainous The Hourglass who, after an experiment gone wrong, develops the power to steal a person’s life force and in a dastardly quest for immortality.
And of course… a spoof movie isn’t complete without the presence of old legend Leslie Nielsen.

The movie hits theaters everywhere May 22nd, 2008 and remember… they’re going to show the teaser trailer as an attachment to the movie Spiderwick this coming Valentine’s day.

Brilliant! Brilliant I tell you! This is just like the marketing style that was done for the movie WALK HARD a few months ago where they had a bunch of Grammy winning artists telling stories about how Dewey Cox inspired them and took part in their lives. Of course, they’re all joking about it, but to be able to actually invite a number of superstars to spend some time promoting your movie in a hilarious clip is just brilliant.
Here’s a silly clip of a bunch of NBA Hall of Famers and Superstars telling their stories about how Jackie Moon inspired America decades ago and the impact he still has on them today.

Jackie Moon by the way is Will Ferell’s character in the upcoming sports comedy film SEMI-PRO, opens February 29th, 2008.
Jackie moon is coach-owner-player of one of the most terrible basketball teams in the history of the sport. They always lose and they come up with ridiculous attractions and stunts. When the league decides to merge with NBA, they’re not planning to let Jackie’s team Flint Michigan Tropics join in, so Jackie’s team decide to prove themselves worthy and do the impossible… to win.

Check out this badass image of HELLBOY sitting on his badass throne, holding his fists together and looking at you in disgust. This is, by the way, the magazine cover for the latest issue of Empire Magazine.
If you look closely on the cover, it says “40 Movies that will get you Sex”
HAHAHA!! I wonder what’s in that list.
Better question why, why do you have an image of Hellboy with something that says 40 movies that will get you laid?! hahaha!

HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY 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. The movie arrives July 11th, 2008.

This teaser trailer of the upcoming 3-D Animated film Teaser Trailer is said to have been shown in front of audiences sitting to watch 3-D movie Beowulf.
The HD version of this trailer hasn’t been on the web yet, but someone got a hold of the 2-D bootleg version and since it’s cool to get a sneak peak at the latest stuff, I figured why not see it here too… for now.
When I get the better version, I’ll post it here, you have my word.
You can hear in this clip the reaction from the audiences, witnessing it in 3-D, as they got wowed by the needle going through the button.

Based on the bestselling novel of the same title written by author Neil Gaiman, CORALINE tells a tale of a young girl who’s unhappy about her home but then discovers a mysterious parallel world behind a bricked up wall. This other world mimics her own life but much more fantastical and her Other Mother is determined to keep her in the magical place forever. The movie will be released February 6th, 2009

I told you today we’re going to see a lot of posters But don’t worry, movie info is still around as well and I’m more than stoked to share the interesting ones with you.
Available at worstpreviews.com is the new poster for Colin Farrell’s upcoming comedy IN BRUGES about a two hit men who after their kill are ordered to hide and keep a low profile IN BRUGES, a small boring town in Belgium, to wait for further instruction.
The movie opens limited February 8th, 2008.
Look at the way Colin’s holding ice cream and a gun in his hands.. maybe he’s not such a ladies man after all.

Jim Carrey is officially my hero now. I’ve always wanted to do death defying stunts, I just don’t have enough balls to actually accomplish any of ‘em yet. Maybe I’ll save up some money to do skydiving. When I say stunts, I don’t mean crazy stupid acts like what the Jackass gang do for a living.
For the movie YES MAN, Jim Carrey did his own stunt and he bungee jumped off a bridge. This is a brief clip of that very moment.

YES MAN bungee jumps into theaters everywhere December 19th, 2008 and it tells a tale of a man who goes into self-help program and decides to say yes to everything that comes his way. At first it’s a surprisingly rewarding experience but after a while… it backfires.

I only say yes to some situations in my life… but to say yes to everything… well.. I’m not really into any kinky and freaky experimental stuff… wait.. what are we talking about again?

Today’s like the day of the posters or something because we’re going to see a lot posted here. Comingsoon.net has a big one sheet image of the upcoming football comedy LETTERHEADS starring George Clooney, Renee Zelweger, and John Krasinski, the movie’s also starring and directed by George Clooney.
When I watched ER years ago, I would never have thought that George Clooney would be as big a star as he is today. Because back then I thought none of the ER stars would go any further than TV gigs. And I thought the name “Clooney” didn’t have a ring to it that would remind you of a movie star. Plus after Batman and Robin I thought his career was over right there and then.
What can I say? The man proved us all wrong.

LEATHERHEADS opens April 4th, 2008 is a romantic comedy centers around a football team when manager Dodge Connelly and the college sensation he’s brought into to save the league both fall for the same woman.

Available at Impawards.com, here’s the new poster for the new Narnia movie.
I can see it now! The line leading up to the theater’s box office is going to be hella long because all the avid readers of the world will be there May 16th, 2008. They’re probably going to dress up like the characters. I wonder if anybody would be weird enough to show up looking like Aslan.
Better yet, ya know how theaters would have displays of upcoming movies, not posters, but huge marketing displays advertising the characters of the movie in all sorts of creative ways.
In anticipation of this movie, nearing the release date, it’d be cool if theaters everywhere had, on one spot, in their building… a caged Lion.

1,300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct and Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy. The four children will soon meet a curious new character: Narnia’s rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding. Together they will embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz’s tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.

Here are images of characters from the movie THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM, images available at yahoo.com.
This is the movie that brought two Asia’s biggest superstars together joining martial art forces starting April 18th, 2008.
As far as the storyline goes, I have doubts that it’s going to be a good one, because it’s about an American teen who goes back in time and he gets to help a group of heroes trying to free the imprisoned Monkey King.
Why does it have to have an American element in it? Why can’t it just be good old fashion kung fu epic back in the ancient China?!

Here’s movie poster for the upcoming friendship movie SON OF RAMBOW. Cool kid got inspired by the movie First Blood, so he and his friend make their own movie version, kinda like what Jack Black and Mos Def are going to be doing in BE KIND REWIND.
Look at the size of those goggles!
The word is that the story is going to be funny and heartfelt as well. It opens everywhere the same day as IRON MAN which will be May 2nd, 2008.

Here’s a cool new picture from the movie INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, available in the latest issue of Empire Magazine. Why is Indy holding a bazooka? As you can see here, his family’s in the adventure as well, his girlfriend Marion played by Karen Allen and their son/sidekick Mutt Williams played by Shia.
Ah, I know why he’s holding a bazzoka! He’s going to try to blast other summer movies into the next century.
What do you think about this latest image.

Producer Frank Marshall shares the development of the movie as far as production goes…

“This picture is locked,” he said. “Steven’s pretty much done editing. And we’re going into the phase with John Williams where he starts scoring the movie. He’s really writing now and then we’ll start scoring in February.”

Great! Then it’s almost ready to go.
When asked which of previous Indiana Jones movies does this one resemble the most, he said..

“I would say it’s closest to the third one (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). It’s all adults. I mean, you have the sidekick in Shia (LaBeouf), but you don’t have a Short Round and I think the banter between the characters is as fun as it was in the third movie.”

First he wanted to direct JK Rowling HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS and then we heard that he wanted to do back to back two films of J.R Tolkien’s THE HOBBIT… and now he wants to film a movie version of another book, this time by author H.P. Lovercraft?
Which book does he really want to do?
Either this guy wants to do everything or he just loves causing hype and confusion for the internet world.

He spoke to MTV about his interest in making the movie adaptation of the book AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS originally published in 1936 about a group of explorers in Antartica who stumble onto a group of creatures called “Elder Things” and what comes after that is terror after terror. Giullermo’s cup of tea.

“I remember when I was a kid out of the studios came the big event horror movies, ‘The Exorcist,’ ‘Alien,’ ‘Jaws,’ ‘The Shining,’” del Toro recalled. “It is my hope that this movie will be a tentpole movie [of that sort]. It has the scope of a Shackleton epic exploration movie but it’s full of tentacled things.”
“It’s not hard to be faithful to Lovecraft because what is great about the novel is that it’s a compilation of really dry scientific annotations that happen to be annotating something really scary. There is no character or dramatic thread,” he insisted. “You take those document and you then create a story. If you were [just rigidly faithful] you would be doing a National Geographic special on a crew that disappeared in an exploration mission.

“I’m happy with [my script],” he continued. “I know some people would like a happier ending but I’m happy with the ending there is.”

This is probably what a day is like in the life of Guillermo Del Toro. He goes into a bookstore, he picks up a novel, reads the synopsis on the back cover and says “I want to direct the movie version of this one” and then he goes on to the next aisle and he sees another paperback novel, reads briefly and says “I wanna do this one too”. By the time he finishes his thought, he realizes there are thousands of books in the damn store and he shouts out loud “I’m going to do all of them”.
I love your movies, Mr. Del Toro, but make up your mind!

* Here’s a recent clip at a gathering that Guillermo Del Toro was a part of while promoting the movie THE ORPHANAGE. This might just be the confirmation that he’ll be directing the Hobbit, who knows??…. it’s in Spanish and French.

This seems like a very imaginative, wondrous movie that will make you feel like a kid again. The funnier part this whole concept is the story and how a bunch of kids get inspired to film their own action movie inspired by Rambo.
Have these kids even seen any of the Rambo movies? All of the movies are rated R with strong violence enough to give kids their age some nightmare. But I’m still going to see SON OF RAMBOW because I’m curious to see what the buzz is about, this movie’s been around since last year in film festivals but it will be released limited in the U.S. starting May 2nd, 2008.
Written and directed by Garth Jennings (Hitchhikers Guide To Galaxy).
For some reason after watching the following official trailer of the movie reminds me of another childhood friendship movie Stand By Me

Many have wondered what’s going to happen to the fate of director Terry Gillian’s film project THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS which Heath Ledger was a part of. His untimely death has put the whole thing to a complete stop and when or if the production will be continued is still yet to be determined.

Previous info has said that because this is a film that has fantasy and magical elements, they can tweak the story however they way meaning they might have Heath’s character goes into a mirror and comes out a different person, hence a different actor. The word had it that Johnny Depp may be the one to take the torch but his rep said that Johnny will be too busy shooting the film PUBLIC ENEMIES by Director Michael Mann.

So now director Gillian must scratch his head trying to figure out how in the world he’s going to finish the story without Heath Ledger.
One of the stars of the movie, veteran actor Christopher Plummer (The Sound of Music) spoke to People Magazine and had this to say…

“Terry’s throwing himself into the job of trying to salvage the picture,
“trying to work out at this moment how to continue on. Fortunately, because the film deals with magic, there is a way, perhaps, of turning Heath into other people and then, using stills and I think they call it CGI…”
“Terry was a very good friend [of Heath’s],” adds Plummer. “He very wants to go on with the movie, and I can very much understand why. Because he wants to dedicate it to Heath, of course.”

I can only imagine how tough it must be to try to keep the project going without your most essential element.
But just like the old saying, I guess…. The Show Must Go On!
Do you happen to have any suggestion regarding this dilemma?

Meanwhile, the production of the movie BLUE VALENTINE starring Heath’s ex Michelle Williams has been put on hold on account of Michelle still grieving the death of Heath Ledger.

“We will hold off until she is ready,” a source connected to the film told People. “The production is in the process of sorting it out in respect to her.”
“We’re hoping she will still come back and do the film, and are happy to wait,” continued the source. “The film is tailor made for those two, so of course we would want to wait. You can’t get much better than them.”

What they meant by ‘those two’ were Michelle Williams and Ryan Gossling, stars of this drama about a couple struggling with their marriage.
Michelle’s relationship with Heath itself was struggling, they broke up last year, they have a daughter named Matilda, who sadly will never get the chance to know her father in person.

If all goes well, I’m supposed to be in Hollywood in a few hours to attend the World Premiere of Eva Longoria’s movie OVER HER DEAD BODY. It’s not that I wanna watch it badly, personally I think the movie’s gonna stink, but I got invited and it’s free so what the hell, right!
So… for the next few hours, there won’t be much info posted here until I return later on but check again tonight for more updates on headlines, reviews and what not.
In the meantime, to keep you guys entertained, thanks to traileraddict, here are five clips from Jason Statham’s heist movie THE BANK JOB which opens March 7th, 2008 in Uncle Sam’s homeland.
It’s about the most successful heist ever pulled in history where the money and stolen treasure were never recovered and none of the accused ever got convicted.
Enjoy!

Now this is what I like.. horror comedy films… like Shaun of The Dead and the recent hilarious fright flick TEETH.
So you watch it for the laugh.
THE COTTAGE stars Andy Serkis, the talented man behind The Gollum/Smigel character in LOTR and a new British Blond Hottie Jennifer Ellison, who unfortunately happens to be a fan of Everton football club, football is what we call soccer in countries outside the U.S. I’m a die hard fan of Arsenal FC,…. but that’s for another story to tell in another time.
One is the one important ingredient in a horror film?
Have it done in a secluded area… in this movie, four central characters are being hunted down by a psychotic ugly farmer who wants them out of their land by killing them off one by one.
That’s one way of emphasizing the rule ‘No Trespassing Allowed’
Here’s the official trailer and the movie kills this spring, starting with England first.

This is another remake of a Japanese horror movie… like Hollywood can’t come up with any original horror movie, right?!
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but horror movies these days are capitalizing on phenomenon and strange but familiar events, like a supposed event where if you’re an organ transplant recipient, then you’d be experiencing some freaky stuff from the donor’s past. In the case of the movie SHUTTER, the so-called event is photographs that capture images energy or ghosts. To top the stupidity of this concept is the star of this movie, Joshua Jackson, who I think should’ve retired after his Mighty Ducks Movies.
Here’s the SHUTTER trailer. The movie clicks in theaters March 21st, 2008.
