Michel Gondry for 'The Green Hornet'

This is amazing news. According to Empire Online, Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine, Be Kind Rewind) is set to direct the film adaption of comic series 'The Green Hornet' starring Seth Rogen. Originally Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle) was meant to direct i believe, but he decided not to although he is still apparently going to be acting within the film.
I'll post more about the film when news arises.

Kung Fu Panda 2

According to the Dreamworks Animation site despite this news being back from October 2008...they are definitely going to continue the Kung Fu Panda franchise...how far they take it, nobody knows!! I can only hope they don't decide on a trilogy and ruin it...although there's news going about that Shrek 4 is also going to be made.
I don't mind Dreamworks animations and they've brought out some great ones, but i hope they move on to new projects other than renewing old ones. However, although i say this, i am looking forward to 'Monsters Vs Aliens'.

The next installment of Kung Fu Panda however will not be out until 2011...and in the meantime they have another project 'How to Train your Dragon' set for 2010!

when more news of this arises i shall post it.

S.Darko Trailer

Why they thought it would be a good idea to make a sequel type thing to Donnie Darko is beyond me....it's been in production for some time and talked about on various websites with different levels of interest!
But finally the trailer is online...not that it's anything special and the film is set for straight to DVD anyways!

Check out the trailer using the image below!

Funny People trailer

The Trailer for Judd Apatow's new film 'Funny People' is now online..in various places!
The cast is pretty good and a couple of regular's of Apatow's appear..namely Seth Rogan! The story follows Adam Sandler, a stand up comedian who may well be dying and enlists Rogan to help him write some material and various things ensue. If you watch the trailer you'll get the jist fairly quickly!

so go check it out HERE
or alternatively search for it on YouTube.

Scott Pilgrim

Just a photo that Edgar Wright had posted on his blog on MySpace....I really hope this film will be as good as the comics!!

Noah's Ark: The New Beginning?

Searching around IMDB can sometimes offer you unexpected results...I came across this film which i had never heard of and apparently it was due for release in 2008 but its information states it's in Post-Production!
Wether it will come out or not is another matter but we shall see...it looks like it's meant to be an animated film and would explain why it's late...that mixed with the writers strike probably didn't help.
It has a fairly good cast though with voice actors such as Jason Lee (My Name is Earl, Mallrats) and Eliza Dushku (Buffy, Tru Calling, The New Guy).
I'll keep my eye out i think, just in case....but if you want to check it out for yourself click HERE!

Fanboys

A definite film if, like the title, you would consider yourself a fanboy!
The film follows a group of friends who are attempting to get into Skywalker Ranch to see Star Wars Episode One before its release...there's a ton of geeky references throughout the trailer such as encounters with various cast of the original Star Wars, a meeting with a fake Harry Knowles and of course William Shatner.
It's probably your typical teen comedy in terms of a mixture of slapstick, girls and some witty banter but i can only presume that it's going to do fairly well amongst the Star Wars and comic book fans around the globe!

Planet 51

I realize the trailers been online for a while now but i've only had time to catch up recently!
Anyway, 'Planet 51' is a new CGI film from Sony pictures and is a story that follows an American astronaut Captain Charles "Chuck" Baker as he land on a planet inhabited by green aliens. It's sort of a twist on the sci-fi genre in terms of alien invasions but the trailer does have a chuckle at moment when 'Chuck' does the moon landing routine.
There's a few other sci-fi references such as a dog with a head of an 'Aliens' alien.

Monsters Vs Aliens new poster and Trailer

Once again a bit of news on this film from Dreamworks animation. There's some info on it in one of my previous posts but Yahoo Movies have revealed the films new poster which you can see below...i'm quite looking forward to this film and recently during the Superbowl they played a 3D version of the new trailer which can still be viewed at the official website here
Mind you this will only work if you've got a pair of the Intru3d glasses that were given away in American shops....but if you have a bit of cunning and some lighting filters you could bodge together your own pair!!
