by Dave Trumbore    Posted: May 25th, 2012 at 4:42 pm

In addition to the new banner posters for The Dark Knight Rises, we’ve stumbled across this new secret poster featuring Catwoman (Anne Hathaway).  It’s a pretty slick little piece which reminds us that, while Bane (Tom Hardy) might be getting all of the attention as of late, both audiences and Batman (Christian Bale) shouldn’t forget about the feline femme fatale. Director Christopher Nolan’s closing piece to his Batman trilogy also stars Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard and Liam Neeson.  The film opens July 20th.  Hit the jump to see the new poster.

2 New TV Spots for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Shows New Footage of Bane, Batman, Alfred, Catwoman and the Bat-Wing

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: May 23rd, 2012 at 6:51 pm

It turns out that American Idol is still good for some things, like airing this new TV spot for The Dark Knight Rises.  Christopher Nolan’s epic final piece to his Batman trilogy is now less than two months away, but don’t expect the marketing to stop any time soon.  We recently posted some new images, a slew of character posters and even the Tumbler and Bat-Pod on tour in all their gritty glory.  This new TV spot gives us a better look at the Bat-Wing, which is good, since pretty much all we knew about it before was “it’s not a car.” There are also some new shots of Tom Hardy’s Bane accompanied by some dialogue I had to listen to twice to understand.  Some good shots of Christian Bale’s Bruce Wayne and Michael Caine’s Alfred sharing some dialogue.  What are you waiting for? Hit the jump to check it out! [Updated with a second TV spot featuring Catwoman.]

Gary Oldman Joins ROBOCOP Remake

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 23rd, 2012 at 4:10 pm

Director Jose Padilha got off to a nice start with setting The Killing star Joel Kinnaman as the lead in the Robocop reboot, and now he’s landed a very fine actor to star alongside Kinnaman.  Heat Vision reports that Gary Oldman has signed on to star as Norton, the scientist who creates Robocop and “finds himself torn between the ideals of the machine trying to rediscover its humanity and the callous needs of a corporation.”  Oldman’s a terrific actor and I’m eager to see how big of a role this Norton character will be in Padilha’s iteration of the story.

No production start-date has yet been set, but with an August 9th, 2013 release date looming the film is apparently eying a shoot in Toronto.  Kinnaman recently talked about the film and said that he can’t imagine how it could be PG-13, so hopefully we’re in for an R-rated Robocop.  That would definitely be a rarity in a sea of PG-13 actioners, but its possible that Ridley Scott’s R-rated Prometheus could alter studio thinking if it does really well.

Two New Clips from LAWLESS Featuring Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Guy Pearce

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: May 21st, 2012 at 5:32 pm

In a summer filled with superhero spectacles and sci-fi extravaganzas, it’s nice to get back to the roots of Depression-era, moonshine-runnin’ crime dramas.  Director John Hillcoat (The Road) has the cure for what ails you in Lawless, an adaptation of the Matt Bondurant novel, “The Wettest County in the World.”  Lawless stars Shia LaBeouf (Transformers) and Tom Hardy (Inception) as the Bondurant brothers, Southern bootleggers during the Prohibition era.  A new clip from the film shows a nice moment between the two characters and highlights the range of both.  Another clip introduces the strangely androgynous character, Special Agent Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce) who has swooped in from Chicago to shut the Bondurants down.  There’s some good stuff on display here, hints of which were seen in this trailer.  You should also check out these awesome character posters.  Lawless, also starring Jessica Chastain, Gary Oldman, Jason Clarke, Mia Wasikowska and Dane DeHaan will debut in theaters on August 29th.  Hit the jump to see the clips.

New DARK KNIGHT RISES Image/Poster Reveal Batman Wanted for Murder and the Secret to Bane’s Mask [Updated]

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: May 18th, 2012 at 8:32 pm

Since releasing the first images of Tom Hardy as Bane, fans of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises started asking, “What’s up with that mask?”  A new article in Rolling Stone seems to have answered the question along with a point-by-point graphic detailing just why the muscle-bound madman needs a mask at all (and the answer provides a key plot point).  On the other side of the spectrum is the also-masked vigilante known as Batman (Christian Bale), and in this new wanted poster supposedly released by Warner Bros., we see exactly what the Caped Crusader is accused of doing.

The Dark Knight Rises also stars Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman and Liam Neeson.  Look for the bat to bow on July 20th.  Hit the jump to check out the images.

Update: Thanks to a number of readers emails, we’ve been informed the Wanted Poster was part of the earlier viral marketing campaign.

Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Shia LaBeouf and More Featured in LAWLESS Character Posters

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 18th, 2012 at 11:45 am

The period crime drama Lawless was on my radar for quite a while given its pedigreed cast and talented director, but the film rocketed towards the top of my most anticipated list with a truly stellar first trailer.  Based on the novel The Wettest County in the World, the film stars Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy as two brothers who become bootleggers in the South during Prohibition.  The trailer highlighted some truly badass moments for Guy Pearce and Gary Oldman, and I love the aesthetic that director John Hillcoat (The Road) has chosen for this story.  A few character posters have gone online featuring a majority of the film’s cast.  They’re not the most artful one sheets I’ve ever seen (the photoshop on Oldman is highly questionable), but I’m assuming these will appeal to wide commercial audiences who haven’t yet heard about the film.

Hit the jump to check out the posters.  The film also stars Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Mia Wasikowska, and Dane DeHaan.  Lawless will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and is slated to open nationwide on August 31st.

PARANOIA Starring Liam Hemsworth, Gary Oldman, and Harrison Ford Set for Release on September 27, 2013

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 17th, 2012 at 5:49 pm

Relativity Media announced today that it has acquired US distribution rights for the thriller Paranoia, and they’ve slated the film for a September 27th, 2013 release date.  Robert Luketic (21) is onboard to direct, with Liam Hemsworth starring as a blue collar guy whose costly and legal mistake at his entry-level job at Wyatt Telecom leads to a deal between him and ruthless CEO Nicholas Wyatt.  The CEO promises not to turn Hemsworth’s character in as long as he agrees to infiltrate the competition as a corporate spy.  Things escalate and the young man soon discovers that his boss will stop at nothing to demolish the competition.

The impressive cast includes Gary Oldman, Harrison Ford, and Lucas Till.  Though it’s not specified in the press release, I’m assuming Oldman plays the ruthless CEO since he’s listed second among the cast.  Production is set to begin this summer, and currently the only other film slated for release during the month of September in 2013 is the 3D re-release of The Little Mermaid.  Hit the jump to read the press release, which also includes a full synopsis.

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: May 17th, 2012 at 5:15 pm

After surviving the onslaught of The Avengers marketing machine over the last few months, we now have about two months of The Dark Knight Rises madness to look forward to.  We brought you some new images recently and now a new TV spot for Christopher Nolan’s epic conclusion to his Batman trilogy has hit the airwaves.  It’s a promo for the NBA playoffs (similar to this Brave spot for the NFL draft) and features cuts of the Caped Crusader between such current sports phenoms as Meadowlark Lemon and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (they still play, right?).

The Dark Knight Rises, starring Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine, opens July 20th.  Hit the jump to check out the commercial.

Fantastic First Trailer for LAWLESS Starring Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, and Gary Oldman

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: April 24th, 2012 at 4:18 pm

The first trailer for the period crime drama Lawless has gone online.  Based on the novel The Wettest County in the World, the film stars Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy as two brothers who become bootleggers in the South during Prohibition.  This first trailer is pretty incredible, and a different stellar actor seems to pop into frame every 10 seconds.  LaBeouf, Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Guy Pearce and Gary Oldman all promise strong performances under the gritty/dirty direction of John Hillcoat (The Road).  Prohibition is a swell setting for some great drama, and I’m excited to see Hillcoat weave all the pieces of the story together with a strong character focus.  If the setting, cast, Hillcoat and the story aren’t enough to entice you, did I mention that the trailer features a bad ass Gary Oldman wielding a tommy gun?

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film also stars Jason Clarke, Mia Wasikowska, and Dane DeHaan.  Lawless will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month and opens nationwide on August 31st.

Corporate Espionage Thriller PARANOIA to Star Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman and Liam Hemsworth

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: April 12th, 2012 at 7:56 pm

In what’s shaping up to be a superb cast out of the gates, Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman are in late-stage negotiations to join the corporate espionage thriller, Paranoia.  Headlined by Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games), Paranoia takes place in the business world (obviously) and involves a duel between telecom giants.  Plot and casting details are under wraps at the moment, but with production scheduled to begin this summer, that should change shortly.  Directed by Robert Luketic (21) – whose diamond heist picture, Brilliant,  has experienced delays – Paranoia will shoot on location in New York and Mumbai.  Deadline reports that Luketic will direct the IM Global picture from a recent script draft by Jason Hall (Spread).

Christopher Nolan Screens THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: March 16th, 2012 at 5:06 pm

In an attempt to avoid being overshadowed by The Avengers announcement from their superheroic counterparts at Marvel, word has it that Warner Bros. execs have seen a rough cut of The Dark Knight Rises, screened by Christopher Nolan. Since the movie doesn’t officially open until July 20th, that should give the director plenty of time to tweak things (say, for example, if certain characters’ voices aren’t clear enough). Heat Vision reports that studio heads in attendance included film chief Jeff Robinov and production president Greg Silverman. With The Dark Knight Rises opening so soon after Comic-Con (although Nolan has yet to attend), it would be a big surprise if there weren’t some sort of presence there this year.

The Dark Knight rises stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine. Hit the jump for the synopsis and trailer.

SID & NANCY and THE APARTMENT Blu-ray Reviews

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: February 28th, 2012 at 5:03 am

Fox has released two of the most romantic anti-romances of all time on Blu-ray: Sid and Nancy and The Apartment. Both show the negatives of dating, and the headaches that come from love, which sometimes include being arrested for murder. Billy Wilder does career best work (which is saying something) with Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacClaine and Fred MacMurray in The Apartment, while Alex Cox creates some of his most indelible imagery with stars Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb in Sid and Nancy. Both are well worth checking out on Blu-ray and our reviews follow after the jump:
