Thu, July 15, 2010 A new photo of Thor and Odin has made its way online via SuperheroHype. This certainly looks a lot better than the image released yesterday of Thor Odin and Loki which was down right awful.
But until we actually see them in action on film it'll be hard to tell what the fate of Thor will ultimately be, from the images released already it doesn't look good.

The more I hear about the mutants that appearing in X-Men first class the more this sounds like a reboot as opposed to a prequel. It seems like every character from the original trilogy and then some are set to appear at some point, only the returning mutants have all been cast younger.
Now HeatVision reports that Jennifer Lawrence has been cast as the younger version of Mystique in the film set for release next year.
Mystique, who was played by Rebecca Romijn in the trilogy, is a shapeshifter who can mimic other people, though she cannot replicate superpowers. In comics lore, she was revealed to be the mother of X-Man Nightcrawler.
The trades have also confirmed Kevin Bacon joining the cast as the villain, but who exactly he's playing is still under wraps.
Thu, July 15, 2010 Columbia seems to really be on top of their shit today. This is the second video they've released today, and the first actual clip from The Other Guys the buddy cop comedy with Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton, Steve Coogan, Ray Stevenson, Samuel L. Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Rob Riggle and Damon Wayans Jr.
The plot follows Detective Allen Gamble (Ferrell), a forensic accountant who's more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets, and Detective Terry Hoitz (Wahlberg), who has been stuck with Allen as his partner ever since an embarrassing public incident with his quick trigger finger. Allen and Terry idolize the city's top cops, Danson and Manzetti (Johnson and Jackson), but when an opportunity arises for the Other Guys to step up, things don't quite go as planned.
I can't say that I like everything Will Ferrell does, but Wahlberg in a comedy and the combination of the two of them alone has me sold. From everything I've seen of this from the trailers to this clip it looks pretty damn funny. It's only a shame it couldn't be a R rated comedy, there aren't enough of them anymore.
The Other Guys opens everywhere August 6.
Thu, July 15, 2010 Columbia picture has finally released a trailer for the social network with actual footage from the film. I'd say it's about damn time! The first two trailer showed relatively nothing, as amusing and even interesting as they were, this served the movie much better. It looks like David Fincher has done something very unique and unexpected with what could have a been a very boring and unoriginal idea. Essentially this is a biography, but unlike most biography's this shows the people in question in an unflattering light to say the least.
The Social Network is based in part on the book The Accidental Billionaires. It chronicles the formative days of Facebook, from its founding in Mark Zuckerberg’s Harvard dorm room through its early rise to success. It hits theaters this October.

If you loved the first Transformers or even liked it, but you hated the completely ridiculous sequel, you may be interested to know what direction they're taking the third and final installment. CHUD has the rundown on the opening sequence in the film set to open next July.
**SPOILERS**
There's a disturbance on the Moon. A robot shaped disturbance. Scientists on Earth see this and the information gets passed up the chain of command. In the White House men in black suits are breathlessly running through the halls, and they burst into the Oval Office. The president is behind the desk, back turned to the door, looking out the window. One of the men tells the president, 'Sir, something's happened on the Moon!' The president turns around.
For the full description, and what happens next go HERE.
**SPOILERS**
I hate to say this but it actually sounds pretty damn awesome to me. I wasn't at all a fan of the sequel or even the animated show from the 80's really, but the first film was a lot of fun. Hopefully Bay can at least end the trilogy with something fun and actually entertaining, here's hoping.
Wed, July 14, 2010 Director Todd Philips' directorial follow up to The Hangover is Due Date and Yahoo! Movies has released the first trailer online. It looks a lot like a remake to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles which came out in 87' and starred comedians Steve Martin and the late John Candy. It looks funny as hell at any rate, and it gives us something else from Philips until Hangover 2 hits.
In the Warner Bros. release, Peter Highman (Downey Jr.) is an expectant first-time father whose wife's due date is a mere five days away. As Peter hurries to catch a flight home from Atlanta to be at her side for the birth, his best intentions go completely awry when a chance encounter with aspiring actor Ethan Tremblay (Galifianakis) forces Peter to hitch a ride with Ethan--on what turns out to be a cross-country road trip that will ultimately destroy several cars, numerous friendships and Peter's last nerve.
Wed, July 14, 2010 Singer/Actor Tyrese has been tweeting photos from the set of Fast Five, clever title I know. This was about the most interesting picture he put up. Ironically there are five people in the picture from the previous installments standing behind Vin Diesel holding a shotgun.
I figure it's only a matter of time before they announce this adrenaline filled crap fest will be flying at us in 3D. Also does anyone else agree that Vin Diesel is a bastard for making virtually every other man look like shit, what a fucker! Thankfully big Vin will look like a little girl standing along side Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson when he shows up for filming in Puerto Rico. That might be the only reason I see this.

Back in 2008 Joaquin Phoenix went bat shit crazy and announced he was quitting the movie business for a career as a rapper. His brother in law Casey Afleck filmed a "mockumentary" following the ridiculous shit Phoenix was doing titled "I'm Still Here".
They've been shopping it around to distributors looking for a buyer, but have been somewhat unsuccessful due to the outrageous content and subject matter. Lucky for them Magnolia Pictures was actually interested in a mockumentary about a bat shit insane Joaquin Phoenix snorting coke off tits, rapping drunk, and falling off stages. I heard at one point in the film Phoenix even goes as far as to take a Stanley Steamer on someone, google it.
The studio describes the film as follows:
Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads. Defying expectations, it deftly explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.
They plan to have a limited release on September 10th and wide release one week later.

Rapper/actors Ludacris and Tyrese have signed up to re-join the Fast and Furious cast and star in the latest installment of the popular film franchise, Fast 5. They both appeared in the second film 2Fast2Furious.
Both rapper/actors recently confirmed their involvement in the movie on Twitter.
@LudaJuice:“Just landed in Puerto Rico,” he wrote. “Shooting for Fast & Furious 5 is about to be underway…”
@Tyrese4ReaL tweeted about landing in Puerto Rico. He's also shooting Transformers 3, and had to take a break from filming to begin shooting the start of Fast Five.
They'll be joining original cast members Vin Diesel and Paul Walker as well as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
I'm just wondering since they seem to be pulling out all the stops on this one, how long until it's announced that it's in 3D?
