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.
Yes, this news was just released yesterday. The company that currently owns the rights to Terminator, Halcyon, is putting then up for sale. Right now, they are asking for $200,000 for the franchise. However, they have already one bite on the franchise. Joss Whedon, of Buffy fame, has already put in an opening bid of 10,000 dollars for the Terminator rights. This bid came in only moments after the auction was opened.
I have been a huge Terminator fan since the original came out. Four movies and a television series later, and it looks like the franchise might have killed its last human. Terminator Salvation came out back in May, and it did less than hoped. The R-Rated director’s cut of the movie hits DVD later this month.
What do you think? Do you have some extra money lying around to buy the rights to Terminator? The rights would give the owner the right to make more movies and television series based on the franchise? Do we really want more Terminator?
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!
An all new feature trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar has just hit the Internet. The movie has been his on-going project for the last four years, and something he has wanted to bring to life since long before that. This one stars such names as Michelle Rodriguez, Sam Worthington and Sigourney Weaver.
Cameron has worked with Weaver before. Remember Aliens? This new trailer gives us a look at just what the movie is about. A group of soldiers head to a new world, Pandora, in order to mine a rock. The problem they face is the fact that the current inhabitants of the world are not too happy they are there.
The visual effects in the trailer alone are amazing. Avatar is set to hit theaters on December 18th. Will you be heading to theaters to see the next big movie from James Cameron? I know I will! Check out the trailer for yourself below.
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?
Another Monday has arrived, and this weekend, we had a bit of a shocker at the box office. This should have been the weekend Saw VI ruled the box office with just a little less than week to Halloween. That series of movies always tops the box office in its first weekend of its release, but that didn’t happen this year. A movie that has already been out in theaters a month managed to come from the bottom of the charts in that time to finally reach number one.
Paranormal Activity is getting fantastic word of mouth advertising, and with Halloween just a few days away now, more and more are going to see just what the movie is all about. The movie managed to pull in $22 million this weekend. Paramount is already talking sequel for this one. As for Saw VI, it managed to come in second place with $14.8 million at the box office in its opening weekend. The other two releases this weekend, Astro Boy and Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, came in far down the charts at sixth and eight places.
As for the week ahead, there is one movie hitting theaters this weekend, and it is making an early release on Wednesday. Michael Jackson’s This Is It finally hits theaters, and something tells me we will see it hit number one this weekend. The soundtrack to the movie is also being released this weekend. As for DVD releases, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and new music from Creed also hit store shelves this week. Check out a full list of releases below.
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.
