French Trailer for G.I. JOE: RETALIATION

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 7th, 2012 at 1:21 pm

A French trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation has been released. It plays like a mash-up of the first domestic trailer for the film and the recent Super Bowl spot, with some new footage mixed in. I continue to be impressed by what we’re seeing from Retaliation; it just looks like a really, really fun movie. The pic seems to be more of a franchise reboot than a direct sequel to the first G.I. Joe, and the lack of Channing Tatum suggests we’re getting an almost entirely new cast headed up by Dwayne Johnson. The new trailer retains the “Seven Nation Army” remix, and a few bits of humor are sprinkled throughout for good measure.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, and Bruce Willis. G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens June 29th.

Watch the Super Bowl Spot for G.I. JOE: RETALIATION; Plus New Action Figures Give Us a Look at Cobra Commander

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 1st, 2012 at 1:01 pm

Continuing on with the barrage of Super Bowl spots landing online today is the 30-second preview for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. I’ll admit I had absolutely zero interest in seeing this movie; that is until the first trailer was unleashed. Though I know relatively little about the Joe universe, Retaliation looks incredibly cool. This Super Bowl spot gives us a great deal of new footage, including a look at Cobra Commander, as well as some eloquent Jay-Z citation by Dwayne Johnson. I’m fairly certain the overriding theme of Retaliation is simply “badass.” In addition, we’ve got a few images of the movie tie-in action figures set to be released in anticipation of the sequel.

First Trailer for G.I. JOE: RETALIATION

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 12th, 2011 at 4:50 pm

The first trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation has gone online. While I was underwhelmed by the Entertainment Tonight sneak peek, this full trailer is actually kind of fantastic (actual trailer editors > ET editors). It’s got some stellar action, a cool story, and a chill-inducing shot featuring the White House. The story finds the Joes in deep, as the entirety of the G.I. Joe team has been killed save for a few remaining survivors. Director Jon Chu has staged some nice action sequences here, and the trailer is elevated by a nifty cut of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army.”

First Footage from G.I. JOE: RETALIATION Starring Dwayne Johnson

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 10th, 2011 at 10:11 pm

The first trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation lands on Monday, but a glimpse of footage from the film is now online. The action pic is a follow-up to 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and stars Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, Channing Tatum and Bruce Willis. While I’m trying to reserve judgment until the full trailer is online, this footage doesn’t look promising. It features plenty of explosions and a couple of groan-worthy one liners. The sequel is a bit of an overhaul from the first film, as many of the characters from the 2009 feature don’t return and Jon Chu (Justin Bieber: Never Say Never) takes over the director’s chair.

Hit the jump to check out the footage, and be sure to check back Monday for the full trailer. The film also stars D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, RZA, Joseph Mazzello, Elodie Yung, and Walton Goggins. G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation opens June 29, 2012.

Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, and D.J. Cotrona Talk Character on the Set of G.I. JOE 2: RETALIATION; Plus Behind-the-Scenes Footage

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: November 1st, 2011 at 9:16 pm

Shortly after this awesome image of Dwayne Johnson in the desert, we saw a few images of Johnson with Adrianne Palicki and D.J. Cotrona on the set of G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation. The trio—playing Roadblock, Lady Jaye, and Flint—appear to be a tight-knit team in the movie.  New footage from the set shows Johnson, Palicki, and Cotrona together on location at the beach.  In between shooting, the actors spoke a bit about their characters.  Johnson calls Roadblock “the glue of the G.I. Joes.”  (Also, “a BAMF.”)  Palicki says Lady Jaye is “the intelligence of the group.”  And Cotrona… well, Cotrona is only asked about co-star Channing Tatum, who reprises his role as Duke in the sequel.

RZA (Blind Master), Ray Stevenson (Firefly),  Joseph Mazzello (Mouse), Walton Goggins (Warden Nigel James), Elodie Yung (Jinx), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), and Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow) also star, while Bruce Willis is on board as the original Joe.  Jon Chu (Justin Bieber: Never Say Never) is directing the June 29, 2012 release.  Hit the jump for the clip of interviews and behind-the-scenes-footage.

Set Photos from G.I. JOE 2: RETALIATION Featuring Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki and D.J. Cotrona

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: August 30th, 2011 at 2:12 pm

Earlier this month, we got our first look at Dwayne Johnson in character as Roadblock on the set of G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation, and now some new set photos have surfaced featuring Johnson, Adrianne Palicki and D.J. Cotrona. Directed by Jon Chu (Justin Bieber: Never Say Never), the follow-up to the less-than-stellar first film features an almost entirely new cast, with Johnson playing Roadblock, Palicki taking on Lady Jaye and Cotrona set as Flint. Channing Tatum (Duke), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), and Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow) are the only actors reprising their roles from the first flick, with RZA (Blind Master), Joseph Mazzello (Mouse), Elodie Yung (Jinx), and Walton Goggins among the other new additions, as well as Mr. Bruce Willis who is in talks to play the original Joe.

Adrianne Palicki to Play Lady Jaye in G.I. JOE: COBRA STRIKES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: July 1st, 2011 at 10:01 am

Adrianne Palicki will play the female lead in Jon Chu’s G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes.  According to Deadline, Palicki will play Lady Jaye (pictured above in what I seriously doubt is an approved military uniform).  The cast for the film continues to fill out as Paramount positions the sequel to be one of their summer 2012 tentpoles.  Palicki joins returning cast members Channing Tatum (who plays Duke), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), and Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow) along with new recruits Dwayne Johnson (Roadblock), RZA (Blind Master), D.J. Cotrona (Flint), and Elodie Yung (Jinx).  One of the major roles yet to be cast is original G.I. Joe, Joe Colton.  Deadline reports that Bruce Willis is the top choice for the role and he would certainly add some star power to the flick.

Hit the jump for a brief bio on Lady Jaye.  G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes opens August 10, 2012.

See Just a Few Seconds of the WONDER WOMAN Pilot

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: June 10th, 2011 at 9:25 am

Personally, I’m one of those who wasn’t all that disappointed when NBC decided not to pick up David E. Kelley’s new pilot for Wonder Woman, especially after seeing that ridiculous suit that Adrianne Palicki was supposed to wear as the superhero (even after the changes to the wardrobe). However, for those desperate to see anything from the now archived pilot for the series, we have literally just a few seconds of Palicki looking somewhat intimidating, but mostly just kind of sexy, from the one and only episode shot for the potential series. It’s nothing to get too excited about, but if you really must see Wonder Woman in motion, here’s your chance.  Hit the jump to check out the incredibly brief clip.

NBC Changes WONDER WOMAN Costume After Fan Outcry

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 30th, 2011 at 8:07 am

When NBC released the first official image of Adrianne Palicki in costume for David E. Kelley’s Wonder Woman, the response to the costume was scorn and derision.  But NBC was listening and the costume has been partially re-designed.  The top-half still looks plastic and shiny, but the pants have been changed to resemble actual pants and a nifty pattern of gold stars runs up the sides.  The color of the boots has also been changed from blue to the traditional red.

Hit the jump to check out the improved costume.  I still think the show will be a disaster, but that’s only because I think Kelley is absolutely the wrong person to be working on this show (or really any show).

First Look at Adrianne Palicki as WONDER WOMAN

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 18th, 2011 at 12:54 pm

We now have our first look at Adrianne Palicki in costume for David E. Kelley’s upcoming Wonder Woman TV series.  The look?  None more pleathery.  While I assumed that the TV show would go with a more natural looking costume along the lines of Jim Lee’s recent redesign, it appears that the show will go with a more old-school/we-bought-this-off-the-rack-at-Party-City approach.  However, unlike the traditional Wonder Woman costume, this one will have pants.  They’re tight, clearly uncomfortable pants that probably squeak every time she moves, but it’s a step up from the granny panties of Lynda Carter’s costume of the 1970s TV series.  The costume for the new TV series also, ahem, “lifts and separates.”

Hit the jump to check out Palicki in costume.  The pilot, which also stars Elizabeth Hurley and Carey Elwes, is currently filming.

MGM Doesn’t Want RED DAWN Remake to Piss Off China; Will Piss Off North Korea Instead

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 16th, 2011 at 8:48 am

The upcoming remake of the 1984 action flick Red Dawn had changed the lead communist villain from Russia to China.  But MGM, the studio behind the remake, has concluded that China, commie as they may be, still offers the possibility of lucrative international box office.  With this in mind, the studio is making it so that the country who invades the U.S. this time around is…North Korea.  The LA Times reports:

The filmmakers now are digitally erasing Chinese flags and military symbols from “Red Dawn,” substituting dialogue and altering the film to depict much of the invading force as being from North Korea, an isolated country where American media companies have no dollars at stake.

Hit the jump for more on this silly change.  The remake of Red Dawn stars Chris Hemsworth, Adrianne Palicki, Josh Hutcherson, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Elizabeth Hurley Cast as the Villain in WONDER WOMAN Pilot [UPDATED]

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: March 3rd, 2011 at 8:20 am

We’ve already heard that Friday Night Lights star Adrianne Palicki has snagged the role of Wonder Woman for NBC’s new TV series adaptation of the DC Comics character, but who will she be facing off against? Now we have half of the answer as Elizabeth Hurley (Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery) updated her Twitter feed saying,

“Thrilled to be doing the NBC pilot Wonder Woman. I’ll be playing the evil villain. Can’t wait.”

Of course what we don’t know is what villain she would be playing in the series. She’ll certainly bring the sex appeal to whatever role she’s taking, but as far as I know, Wonder Woman doesn’t really have an arch nemesis in the way that Superman has Lex Luthor. In a quick search, I think my favorite choices would be Cheetah or Baroness von Gunther. Either way, I’m not all that familiar with the hero’s long line of villains, so I’ll leave it up to you guys. What villain do you think Hurley will play in the pilot? [Update: Deadline reports that Hurley will play "Veronica Gale, the beautiful, highly-educated head of one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the country who is afflicted with the serious deep-seated Wonder Woman envy."]

Adrianne Palicki is WONDER WOMAN for NBC’s New Series

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: February 16th, 2011 at 6:37 pm

Her last television endeavor didn’t turn out all that well since Fox canceled Lone Star all too soon, but now actress Adrianne Palicki has landed a huge role on NBC. Deadline reports the Friday Night Lights star will be Wonder Woman in the new TV series adaptation that has been set up at NBC. The project was revealed with David E. Kelley behind it last October, and while it was said networks weren’t interested in January, NBC came in and picked up the series to pilot with Jeffrey Reiner at the helm. Since he was also a director/executive producer on Friday Night Lights, that may explain why Ms. Palicki got the job. Anyway, now that we have our Wonder Woman, all we can do is wait to see how the new series turns out. Any thoughts?

Trailer for ELEKTRA LUXX Starring Carla Gugino

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 31st, 2011 at 2:58 pm

It’s been sitting on the shelf for a little while, but Elektra Luxx, the sequel to director Sebastian Gutierrez’s 2009 film Women in Trouble, finally has a trailer.  The film stars Carla Gugino as a former porn star who agrees to seduce a woman’s fiancée but ends up getting drawn into a world of wacky intrigue.  In addition to Gugino, the film’s got a great cast which includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Timothy Olyphant, Adrianne Palicki, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Marley Shelton, and Malin Akerman.  But the real reason to see it is Gugino in skimpy clothing.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  Elektra Luxx is due out March 11th.

First Cast Image from RED DAWN Remake Starring Chris Hemsworth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 4th, 2011 at 1:37 pm

An image of the cast from the upcoming remake of Red Dawn has found its way online.  The film was in limbo due to MGM’s ongoing financial troubles, but now that the company has declared bankruptcy and begun restructuring, it’s possible the film will finally be released sometime this year.  This image [via The Daily Blam] looks like it’s either a costume test or for promotional purposes, but I don’t think there will be a scene where the main characters gather to strike a pose and look directly into the camera.

For those who have never seen the original 1984 film, it centers on a group of teenagers that band together after America is invaded by the USSR.  The remake of  Red Dawn stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights), Josh Hutcherson (The Kids Are All Right), Josh Peck (The Wackness), Isabel Lucas (Daybreakers), Connor Cruise (Seven Pounds), Edwin Hodge (Take Me Home Tonight), and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
