First Trailer and Poster for THE BOURNE LEGACY Starring Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, and Edward Norton

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 8th, 2012 at 9:22 am

The first trailer and poster for The Bourne Legacy have gone online.  The central message of the trailer is this: Jeremy Renner can kick the shit out of people just as well as Matt Damon. It’s clearly the same Bourne flavor, and audiences will be happy to get another great actor beating up bad guys. The editing moves so fast that it’s tough to tell how much writer-director Tony Gilroy‘s style will differ from Paul Greengrass‘ (who directed Supremacy and Ultimatum), but I’m eager to see what Gilroy has in store.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer and poster.  The film also stars Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach, Oscar Isaac, Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn, and Scott Glenn.  The Bourne Legacy opens August 3rd.

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: January 27th, 2012 at 7:39 am

Earlier this week we brought you images from Empire Magazine’s special preview on Marvel’s The Avengers. Now, Marvel has released the images in hi-res along with some new looks at Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and a casual, un-Hulked Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) with Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Speaking of Stark, if you didn’t get a chance to check out his $10 million Acura that Steve posted yesterday, click here to see it.

The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon, also stars Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as Thor, as well as Chris Evans as Captain America, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. Tom Hiddleston also returns as the villainous Loki. The Avengers assemble on May 4^th. Hit the jump to check out the images.

Paramount Moves HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS from March 2012 to January 2013

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 9th, 2012 at 5:26 pm

Well this is a doozy of a scheduling change. Paramount has pushed back the release of Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters from this coming March to January 11th, 2013. The film stars Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the titular fairy tale characters, and as one can surmise the plot involves their hunt for women in pointy hats. Having seen no trailer and only one image of the film thus far, it’s not all that shocking that Paramount is pushing the release back. This scheduling shift comes on the heels of the studio’s The Devil Inside bringing in over $30 million on the first weekend of the month despite a terrible reputation from critics and the general public alike.

Renner stars in this May’s The Avengers and will get his shot at the lead with this fall’s The Bourne Legacy, so the studio may want to capitalize on his stardom by placing Hansel and Gretal after these two major releases. Harvey Weinstein recently admitted to doing the same with The Wettest County, which stars Tom Hardy. The release date was moved to after The Dark Knight Rises comes out in order to capitalize on Hardy’s recognition following his turn as Bane. Hansel and Gretel currently has no competition on the January 11th date, but the Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner The Last Stand, the 3D re-release of Monsters Inc., the Russell Crowe drama Broken City, and the star-studded magician heist flick Now You See Me all open the following weekend.

First Image of Jeremy Renner in THE BOURNE LEGACY [Updated]

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 5th, 2012 at 5:01 pm

The fantastic Bourne series is set to continue later this year without star Matt Damon (and without the character of Jason Bourne) in The Bourne Legacy. Jeremy Renner takes the lead role this time around, and the first image of him in character as “Aaron Cross” has hit the web. The franchise entry isn’t so much a reboot, but a separate story that takes place in the same Bourne universe. Tony Gilroy, who wrote the first three Bourne flicks, is in the director’s chair and Renner is surrounded by an impressive ensemble that includes Rachel Weisz, Oscar Isaac, Joan Allen, Albert Finney, and Edward Norton as the villain. While this first image isn’t exactly the most riveting of stills, it gives us a look at a pretty intense Renner death stare. The pic is one of my most anticipated of the year, and I’m looking forward to seeing how Renner picks up where Damon left off.

Hit the jump to check out the image. The Bourne Legacy opens August 3rd. [Update: We've updated the article with the hi-res version of the image.]

Russian Trailer for THE AVENGERS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 29th, 2011 at 6:54 am

I couldn’t spot any new footage in the German trailer for The Avengers, but there’s definitely some new stuff in a Russian trailer that just went online.  For example, there’s a brief dialogue exchange between Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston), but it’s dubbed in Russian.  However, I believe it’s the exchange Tommy saw in English at D23 earlier this year.  According to Tommy, Loki says, “He has an army,” and Stark replies, “We have a Hulk.”  There’s also some brief shots of Captain America (Chris Evans) jumping out of a plane and Loki dealing some damage to our fine planet and its citizens.

Hit the jump to check out the Russian trailer.  The film also stars Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, and Samuel L. Jackson.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4, 2012.

New Posters for THE AVENGERS and HAYWIRE

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 20th, 2011 at 9:54 am

New posters have gone online for The Avengers and Haywire.  Marvel seems to be taking a page from Warner Bros’ Harry Potter playbook by churning out as many character posters as possible between now and the arrival of the movie.  We’ve already seen the character banners, but now Marvel is disassembling these banners into individual posters.

There’s also a new poster for Haywire and it shares the same eye-catching design as the previous one-sheets.  It even makes the actors’ face-boxes look cool.  Hit the jump to check out the new posters.  Haywire opens January 20, 2012.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4, 2012.

German Trailer for THE AVENGERS Supposedly Shows New Footage

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 19th, 2011 at 9:26 am

A German trailer for The Avengers has gone online.  Other sites are saying it has new footage, but I’m not seeing anything I didn’t see in either the U.S. trailer or the Captain America post-credits teaser.  If it’s there, I leave it to eagle-eyed readers to point it out.  There may also be some new voiceover dialogue, but I’m not sure since my German is a little non-existent.

Hit the jump to watch the German trailer.  The film stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, and Mark Ruffalo.  The Avengers opens in 3D on May 4, 2012.

New Banners for THE AVENGERS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 15th, 2011 at 6:04 am

Marvel has released two new banners for The Avengers.  They’re almost identical to the previous banners except a couple of the poses are different and there isn’t a giant “A” covering the superheroes and Loki (still no love for S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders)).  But the kids love The Avengers so I’ve put the new banners after the jump.  The film opens in 3D on May 4, 2012 and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Hiddleston, and Mark Ruffalo.

Jeremy Renner Talks MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL, THE AVENGERS, THE BOURNE LEGACY, James Gray’s LOW LIFE, and More

by Christina Radish    Posted: December 13th, 2011 at 6:37 pm

In Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, actor Jeremy Renner plays Agent William Brandt, an analyst who is more desk jockey than field agent. When Impossible Missions Force (IMF) operative Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is blamed for the terrorist bombing of the Kremlin, he is disavowed, along with the rest of the agency, when the President initiates “Ghost Protocol.” Left with only a team of fellow IMF fugitives – including Brandt, Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) and Jane Carter (Paula Patton) – whose personal motives are unclear, Hunt must find a way to clear the agency’s name and prevent another attack.

At the film’s press day, Jeremy Renner talked about playing a character whose motives may be questionable, how great it is to be a part of such a successful franchise, getting in shape for the physical demands of the role, and how Tom Cruise has helped him prepare for any future action work he’ll have to do. He also talked about currently filming The Bourne Legacy, his work in The Avengers, what attracted him to the James Gray film Low Life, and the process of developing a Steve McQueen biopic. Check out what he had to say after the jump.

New Clip and Over 20 Images from MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 8th, 2011 at 4:40 pm

A batch of new images and a new clip from Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol has been released. The film is the fourth entry in the ever-changing Mission: Impossible franchise and finds Tom Cruise and his team going undercover in order to clear they’re name. I’m excited about this movie for a few reasons: director Brad Bird (The Incredibles) is making his live-action debut, Simon Pegg is swell, and judging from the trailers the pic looks to be an engaging and fun action flick. The supporting cast is pretty impressive as well, with Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton, Tom Wilkinson, Josh Holloway, and Michael Nyqvist rounding out the cast.

Hit the jump to check out the clip and images. Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol opens in IMAX and conventional theaters on December 16th.

First Image from HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS Starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 2nd, 2011 at 9:07 am

The first image from fairy tale re-imagining Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters has gone online. The movie stars Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the eponymous characters who are all growed up and looking for a little payback against the witch community.  Arterton tells Entertainment Weekly that the movie is “as much Pulp Fiction as fairy tale.”  So how do you defeat witches?  Do you burn their gingerbread houses to the ground?  Judging by this image, witches are terrified by the black leather.

Hit the jump for the full image plus more on what Arterton had to say about the movie.  The film also stars Famke Janssen and Peter Stormare.  Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters opens March 2, 2012.

Jeremy Renner Talks James Gray’s LOW LIFE; Says Steve McQueen Biopic Will Focus More on Personal Aspect than Stunts

by Christina Radish    Posted: December 1st, 2011 at 7:47 am

While he was in L.A. to do press for the release of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (in theaters December 16^th in IMAX and December 21^st on all other screens), Collider got the opportunity to participate in a roundtable with actor Jeremy Renner. Even though we’re holding that portion of the interview until the week of the film’s release, and we already posted what he had to say about his other upcoming franchise films, The Avengers and The Bourne Legacy, we also wanted to share what he had to say about a couple other projects he has on his slate.

In talking about what attracted him to the James Gray period drama Low Life, starring Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix, Renner said it was the opportunity to work with some of the best talent out there, playing a magician in the early 1900′s. He’s also involved in developing a Steve McQueen biopic, that’s more of an inside look at his life then a career retrospective. Check out what he had to say after the jump:

While he was in L.A. to do press for the release of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (in theaters December 16^th in IMAX and December 21^st on all other screens), Collider got the opportunity to participate in a roundtable with actor Jeremy Renner. Even though we’re holding that portion of the interview until the week of the film’s release, we did want to share what he had to say about his other upcoming franchise films, The Avengers and The Bourne Legacy, which he’s filming until the end of February 2012.

In talking about The Bourne Legacy, Renner said that he is not taking over for Matt Damon, who will always be Jason Bourne, but that the film is written by the same writer, who is also directing this installment of the franchise. When it comes to The Avengers, Renner said that it was such an amazing challenge, with all of the characters, and that he has no idea what the film will look like because there was so much going on. He’d also love to do a Hawkeye movie, if the opportunity were to arise, but that he has no idea what the future will hold. Check out what he had to say after the jump:

Jeremy Renner has doubled-down on spy franchises.  Next month he joins the IMF in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and next year he’ll be the new face of the Bourne franchise by starring in The Bourne Legacy.  For those unfamiliar with the new Bourne, the role of Jason Bourne hasn’t been recast.  Instead, Renner’s character will play another agent from the same Treadstone program.  Renner tells Empire that his character is named “Aaron Cross, but he ends up having a bunch of different names. For fans of the franchise, [The Bourne Legacy] has that same ticking clock, but it’s a new program and new characters.”

Hit the jump for more on what Renner says we can expect from the new Bourne.  Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol opens in IMAX on December 16th and goes nationwide on December 21st.  The Bourne Legacy opens August 3, 2012.  Renner also stars in the two other 2012 tentpole movies: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters (March 2nd) and The Avengers (May 4th).
