A new red-band trailer for Danny Boyle’s Trance is now available.  The crime-thriller stars James McAvoy (X-Men: First Class) as Simon, a criminal mastermind behind an art heist who develops amnesia and forgets where he stashed the goods.  The mob boss, played by Vincent Cassel (Black Swan), is none too happy with this and resorts to torture to get his information.  Rosario Dawson (Sin City) also stars as a hypnotist who attempts to jumpstart Simon’s memory in another way.  This trailer certainly earns its red-band status with a combination of bloody torture, sex and violence and looks to be another Boyle classic.

Trance will open on March 27th in the U.K. and April 5th in the U.S.  Hit the jump to watch the new red-band trailer.

Fans of 1950s horror/sci-fi should be familiar with Richard Matheson’s The Incredible Shrinking Man, which is about to get another reboot courtesy of MGM.  Matheson will pen the adaptation with his son, Richard Matheson, Jr.  The father-son duo will update the 1956 story to modern times while keeping the tone of the original.  Matheson wrote the story during a time when atomic-bomb and radioactive fears fueled fiction, but will bring up-to-date science such as nanotechnology into the mix. Universal previously held the rights to the book, but MGM picked them up last summer and plans to produce an action-oriented adaptation.  Hit the jump for more on The Incredible Shrinking Man.

The first trailer is now available for director Kasper Barfoed’s The Numbers Station.  The thriller stars John Cusack as an ex-CIA Black Ops agent tasked with protecting a code operator (Malin Akerman).  When a highly organized assault threatens their lives and the security of the communication center, the two must work together to prevent the attackers from accomplishing their deadly mission.  While it looks to be a by-the-numbers thriller, Cusack is definitely an interesting choice as you would expect Nicolas Cage to take this one and run with it.  This is one of seven movies Cusack has coming out this year so let’s hope this doesn’t represent his best work of 2013.  The Numbers Station is expected to open on April 26th.  Hit the jump to watch the trailer and see the full synopsis.

A couple weeks ago on “Hollywood! Adapt This!,” we brought up the idea of adapting the Tyco animated series Dino-Riders as a live-action adaptation.  This week, we’ll go from dino riding to dino hunting!  Believe it or not, this particular character has been around for almost sixty years in comic form, although he was introduced to a whole new generation with a line of video games spanning a number of systems.  There have been six games released over 10 years, but it’s been almost five years since any whispers of a live-action movie adaptation.  How has this property managed to escape the movie treatment?  Find out after the jump.  Hollywood!
