Official Trailer for ‘Fair Game’ Inspired by the True Valarie Plame CIA Story
Posted by: | Comments
The upcoming release Fair Game should not to be confused with the 1995 bomb starring Cindy Crawford and William Baldwin with the same title. The 90’s flick only banked $11 million on an estimated $50 million budget, scored a 13% approval on RottenTomatoes, and was nominated for Razzie awards for Worst Actress (Crawford) and Worst Screen Couple. The newest version of Fair Game stars the absolutely stunning Naomi Watts and Academy Award Winner Sean Penn (Milk). The project also has Doug Liman’s name attached to the director’s role, usually counting as a plus.His best works are: The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Swingers. The 2010 version of Fair Game follows the real life events surrounding ex-CIA agent Valerie Plame.

The first teaser trailer for Danny Boyle’s upcoming survival drama 127 hours hit the web today (via In Contention), and it definitely looks very good, but I feel a bit underwhelmed. The film is inspired by the true story of Aaron Ralston, the American mountain climber who had to amputate his arm with a dull knife to escape being pinned by a giant boulder in 2003. You probably saw the news coverage and Ralston’s requisite talk show tour following his rescue. The script for the film was written by Simon Beafoy, whose last collaboration with Boyle on Slumdog Millionaire earned each of them an Oscar statue, for writing and directing respectively. James Franco stars in the film as Ralston, giving him the acting challenge/opportunity of a lifetime, as nearly an hour of the film contains zero dialogue. It’s just Franco and the camera.

AMC has seriously stepped up their game over the last couple years, becoming direct competition with TV heavyweights HBO and Showtime, with their critically-acclaimed, edgy dramas that push the envelope. Mad Men and Breaking Bad have been winning Emmys left and right, and the new spy thriller Rubicon has gotten some very good buzz during its infancy. Now, AMC is bringing us the very first (I think) post-apocalyptic zombie television series, The Walking Dead. The series is created by The Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile director Frank Darabont, and is based on the comic series of the same title. Check out the trailer after the jump.

And now the awards season has begun. In a few weeks, the studios who have “Oscar films” will be debuting many of them at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. One of those highly-anticipated Oscar films is Darren Aronofky’s Black Swan. Aronofsky has been making chilling, disturbing films that warp the brain since his controversial debut in 1998, Pi. He earned his stripes among film buffs with Pi and the brilliant Requiem for a Dream in 2000, but it wasn’t until The Wrestler resurrected Mickey Rourke’s career in 08′, that Aronofsky started to get the recognition that he deserves. This year, he’s got the Prestige-esque ballet thriller Black Swan, pitting Natalie Portman against Mila Kunis. Need I say more?

This is going to be so damn awesome. A couple weeks ago we brought you the first teaser poster for the Casey Affleck documentary I’m Still here, about the career transition of Joaquin Phoenix from actor to rapper. The first teaser trailer for the film has popped up online over at Yahoo! and it looks so friggin enthralling. As most of you know by now, Oscar-nominated actor Joaquin Phoenix seemingly went off the deep end a year and a half ago when he announced his retirement from acting to pursue his dream of being a rapper. He then showed up on Letterman looking like a homeless Reservoir Dog (see image above), and provided us with one of the most horrifically uncomfortable and buzzed about late night interviews in years. But a lot of people, including yours truly, are convinced this is all just a huge joke/sociological experiment. A seemingly brilliant, mesmerizing one at that.

The first trailer for The Next Three Days has made its way online at Yahoo! (via Collider) and it looks pretty damn good. The film comes from the brilliant mind of Paul Haggis; Oscar-winning screenwriter/director responsible for the likes of Crash, Million Dollar Baby, Letters from Iwo Jima and Casino Royale, just to name a few. No big deal, right? His latest film stars Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks as John and Lara Brennan, a typical married couple who’s lives get turned upside down when Lara is arrested and convicted of a murder she didn’t commit. Or did she? John then cooks up a crazy plan to break his beloved wife out of prison. Sounds pretty sweet to me.

The last time I watched Jackass, I was wearing DC skateboard shoes and five pounds of black eyeliner during the skater-chick style disaster of junior high. Simple Plan and Sum 41 blasted their hits on the radio while Steve-O, Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the gang ate gold fish, snorted wasabi and showed off self-inflicted paper cuts. Apparently, the good old days are back. Last year, the crew announced that the third Jackass would follow the 3D craze (read Barrett’s article on 3D movies). Now the trailer has been released. The film looks like it will follow in the footsteps of the many disturbing feats that came before it. The boys will slingshot porta potties, dress up like gorillas and basically gain as many injuries as humanly possible.

I’m getting kind of a Rachel Getting Married meets Dan in Real Life vibe going on here. The first trailer for the ensemble romantic-drama, The Romantics, has popped up online and I think it looks pretty good. The film premiered at Sundance in January and features a unique, ecclectic cast, including: Katie Holmes, Josh Duhamel Anna Paquin, Elijah Wood, Malin Akerman, Adam Brody, Jeremy Strong, Rebecca Lawrence, Dianna Agron and Candice Bergen. The film centers around the weekend getaway wedding of Tom (Duhamel) and Lila (Paquin), that becomes complicated when Tom’s ex, Laura (Holmes), stirs up old emotions that makes him question who he really wants to be with. Check out the trailer after the jump.

Posted by: | Comments
It’s funny that director Tony Scott made an action-thriller, starring Denzel Washington, circling around a deadly public tragedy, involving innocent people, that only Denzel could fix, called Déjà vu. Every time I see a trailer for one of Scott’s upcoming films, that’s what I get, because they all seem to feature those same dramatic story elements. The trailer for the newest collab between Scott and Denzel, Unstoppable, popped up on the web today (via FirstShowing), and it looks disappointingly identical to Déjà vu and The Taking of Pelham 123. I mean, Scott is an excellent director, with such exciting and more original credits like Enemy of the State and Man on Fire, but lately, he and Denzel seem to be too interested in reducing, reusing and recycling.

Over the past decade, we’ve watched Christina Aguilera transform from a teeny-bopper to a talented, and often risque, legend. With the exception of a few TV show appearances here and there, Aguilera has stuck with music over the years, relying on her killer voice. Now with Burlesque, her new movie, coming out it should be interesting to see if her acting rivals her musical talent or if her role in the new drama will flop as hard as Britney Spears in Crossroads.
