Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars

A film based on the long running games and with a fairly snazzy title. I'm usually majorly sceptical about films based on video games and for good reason, however i think a game of this nature could possibly be adapted into a decent film if done correctly.
I can't say the summary looks too promising though 'Video game adventurers George Stobbart and Nico Collard battle evil forces across the globe for ancient relics of power.'

If thats all the writers have to go on then i feel slightly sorry but perhaps we'll find out in 2010...or it could be a film that silently get dusted under the carpet and only appears on a DVD shelf when you're not looking for it!

What's been Happening

There's been bits of film news bouncing around. It's mainly hype for 'Star Trek' and Coraline (anything that's coming to cinemas very soon)
However, over at Empire online they have some new posters for 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' which you can take a look at by clicking the pic below.



There's also news of a Wolverine sequel that stems from a section of Origins...as well as a Deadpool film!
Who would've thought that it would go from the entire x-men to a multitude of seperate films.

There has also been some new 'Inglorious Basterds' Posters and 'Harry Potter' which you can have a look at by clicking on the pic below.

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!
