This definitely sounds like a match made in heaven. Johnny Depp has just signed on to do a movie with Angelina Jolie. The Tourist was originally set for Sam Worthington and Charlize Theron, but Theron stepped out and Jolie stepped in. Tom Cruise was also in talks for this one at one point. Now it looks like Depp is set to join her. Something tells me these two on the big screen will be something amazing to see.
Just yesterday, I had the new trailer for you from Jolie’s next one, Salt. A few weeks ago, I had the Alice In Wonderland trailer for you from Depp. These two are two of the top actors in Hollywood at the moment. Both are excellent at what they do, and this movie sounds made for them.
Depp will play an American Tourist that gets taken in a by a woman working with Interpol. What do you think of this casting shake-up?
Angelina Jolie seems to know how to pick the action thriller movies. Even though after the birth of her twins, she said she was thinking of giving up acting, she went back to work on a new film a few months after their birth. That movie was Salt, and it was a role that was rewritten specifically for her after Tom Cruise backed out of the project.
The first trailer for the movie hit earlier this week, in Russian. Now the English release has hit the Internet. The movie follows an agent that ends up accused of being a Russian spy. The movie follows her chase.
From the looks of the trailer, it looks like Angelina has another possible winner here. Right now, she’s in LA spending time with her children while partner Brad Pitt is premiering his latest movie, Inglourious Basterds, in Tokyo.
Another Monday has arrived, and that means it is time to look at what happened at the box office this weekend. There was only one major film released last week, and that was Michael Jackson’s This Is It. Numbers for the release weren’t as impressive as many thought they would be. This Is It did manage to claim the top spot for the weekend from Paranormal Activity, which managed to come out on top of the box office in its fifth week of release. Over the weekend, This Is It managed to bring in $21.3 million. Paranormal was a close second with $16.5 million.
While there was only one release last week, we have four movies headed into theaters this week. The ones that might be of interest are the new version of A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz’s The Box. Two others also come out this week, and before their promos starting hitting my television last week, I had no idea about The Fourh Kind or The Men Who Stare At Ghosts. That last one is a new one with George Clooney, and there seems to be a huge push for it with advertising right now.
As for other releases, on DVD we have G.I. Joe hitting store shelves along with The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 and I I Love You, Beth Cooper. Television fans will have the first season of The Clone Wars to pick up. As far as music goes, there are a large number of new releases on CD hitting store shelves including new music from Carrie Underwood, Weezer and Morrissey. Check out below for a full list of this week’s releases. Continue Reading »
Yes, you read that subject line right. Will Smith might head back for another Men In Black movie, Men In Black 3. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Sony Pictures is starting to put things together to pair up Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones once again as Agent J and Agent K.
If things continue to move forward with the project, shooting for the film should begin in 2010. I was a huge fan of the original movie and also the sequel. Both did quite well at the box office after their release, so it will be interesting to see just what Will & Tommy have to deal with next as the men in black.
I’d like to take this moment to wish everyone of my visitors that celebrate the day a very Happy Halloween! Be safe out there tonight if you’re going to go trick or treating or out partying. If you’re staying in, find your favorite scary movie and settle in for the night!
Alice In Wonderland is one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2010. We’ve already seen one trailer for it, and last night Spike TV released yet another look at the movie. Taking the original teaser trailer and adding a few more new moments.
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have once again joined forces for this one, and they are one unbeatable dream team it seems when it comes to movies that go beyond the norm that people still want to come out and watch. Depp plays the Mad Hatter in this one.
Alice In Wonderland has always been one of my favorite stories as a child, and I know I am for one very excited to see this new update of a classic story and movie. Some remakes are okay in my book, and this is one of them. Check out the trailer for Alice In Wonderland below. It is set for release on March 5, 2010. Will you be tripping down the rabbit hole to see this one?
Fans of Twilight are impatiently waiting for the premiere of their next movie next month. Things are starting to go crazy in the world of Twilight, and the fans want New Moon now. Not yesterday, but right now. They don’t have long to wait, and until the movie is out, they will find their fix somehow. The three main stars are already starting to make the circuits of talk shows. Yes, already. Just this week, we have three new character posts for the three main stars of the movie - Jacob, Bella and Edward.
Great looking posters for sure. I’m not much of a Twilight fan, but even I have to admit Taylor Lautner is a cutie, and he’s been seen out on the arm lately of another cutie, Taylor Swift. Yes, she is 19, but no one seems to be saying anything about her running around with a 17 year old now!
Check out the posters below. What do you think? Are you ready for New Moon?
Looks like it is a bit of a Bon Jovi weekend here on Celebrity Today. Yesterday, I talked about their new world tour and the premiere of their documentary on Showtime, When We Were Beautiful, which is also the title of one of the songs on their new album The Circle. I admit fully to being a fan of this rock band from Jersey. I have been a fan of theirs practically since the beginning. I remember hearing Runaway on the radio, even if I was only eight years old. Twenty-five years, Jon Bon Jovi has worked hard to put his vision out there with his band mates. He is their leader, and this band was his vision.
In this documentary that first premiered at Tribeca back in April, takes us into their lives for a brief period of time at the end of their last tour for their record Lost Highway. We see them on the road and on stage as they talk candidly about their lives and what it is like to be in a rock band. Jon himself calls it a lonely existence. He and his bandmates are taken from their families each and every tour for weeks at a time, and at the end of the day all they want is to go home to their families. Jon is married and the father of four kids. His band mates have families of their own.
When We Were Beautiful takes us on a journey through their lives, and we see being a rock star isn’t all glamour and perfection. It is a lot of hard work, and Jon Bon Jovi is the one in control of it all. An intimate look at the man and his friends that have been by his side from the very beginning, and if it was even possible it made me love this band I already love even more.
If you’re a fan of Bon Jovi then this news will be exciting for you. The band is getting ready to release its next studio album in the weeks ahead. Looks like those in the UK will get that first on November 2nd with a US release date of November 10th. On Thursday, the band announced from the parking lot of the new arena being built in their home state of New Jersey that they were getting ready to embark on a world tour that would take them around the globe for the next two years. They will start off on the west coast in February and then go around the world with even a residency at the O2 in London thrown in there somewhere.
Their first single from The Circle, We Weren’t Born To Follow, has been climbing up the charts, and it was even picked as the song for Major League Baseball’s post season, which is soon coming to a close. Jon Bon Jovi’d documentary that follows what this band has been about for the last twenty-five years is premiering on Showtime tonight, October 24th, and the documentary itself will be included as a DVD released with the new album. The documentary gives us a look at just what the life of this rock star has been for the last quarter of a century. Check out Bon Jovi.com for tour dates and check out the trailer for When We Were Beautiful below.
On this Friday, I have two all new movie trailers for you. The first is the next movie based on a book writtenby Nicholas Sparks. Yes, the man behind The Notebook and A Walk To Remember. Dear John is his next one, and it will star GI Joe hunk Channing Tatum and Mamma Mia star Amanda Seyfried. In this one, Tatum plays a soldier on leave who falls in love with a young college student. Expect the usual heartbreak here. This one is set for release on February 5, 2010.
As for the second trailer, it comes from a new animated feature out of Australia with the voice talents of Eric Bana among others. This one tells the story of two unlikely people that become penpals and friends. This one was released in Australia back in April, but it looks like we might get a US release in the near future.
It seems no matter how old he gets Sylvester Stallone is still trying to act like a man half his age. He isn’t a thirty year old anymore, but it is admirable how he doesn’t seem to quit really. Even if Rocky Balboa was hard to watch, and I couldn’t even force myself to watch the last Rambo film. I think they might even be making another one of those, but I could be mistaken. His latest movie,
The Expendables, won’t be released until August 2010, but we now have a trailer for it, and it looks like a Rambo movie but he decided to get a little help from his friends. The movie co-stars some of the biggest names in action movies and most of older Hollywood with Jet Li, Jason Stratham, Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts all featured in the trailer that was released this week. In this one, a team is sent in to a South American country in order to overturn a dictator. However, from the trailer, it looks like not everything goes as planned. Check out the full trailer below. What do you think?
