The New “Robin Hood” Trailer Hits The Mark

By prawn1 Friday March 12, 2010

From the melodramatic tagline to Kevin Costner’s under-acting I don’t have any fond memories of watching Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. At school we despised Bryan Adams for the part he played in music class – our teacher forced us to sing the movie’s ending theme “Everything I do, I do it for you” when she knew very well that we’d rather be watching the hotties horse about in River Dance. In any case, a new Robin Hood movie is on the horizon and from the looks of the trailer, is set to be a more grittier take on the story of the legendary archer and swordsman. Check it out below.

Directed by Ridley Scott (Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator), the film sees Russell Crowe ditching the traditional tights in favour of a more menacing look – he’s armoured, very medieval, and quite angry about the injustices going on around these fair lands. Cate Blanchett stars as Lady Marian, and Mark Strong will play the King’s dastardly henchman, Sir Godfrey. Robin Hood is set to release worldwide on May 14th, 2010.

Official “Tron Legacy” Trailer is so Very Sexy

Our man Macross is on holiday somewhere in the United States and is a big fan of Disney’s 1982 attempt at the sci-fi computer animation. I don’t want to put words in his mouth, but I’m think he would have jizzed in his pants upon seeing the official teaser trailer for Tron Legacy. It looks awesome to say the very least – check it out below.

You can watch the high definition trailer at program-glitch-esc.net.

Tron Legacy is a sequel to the 1982 film Tron, with Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner reprising their roles. Here’s the synopsis:

Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidante (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

It’ll be the first feature film from director Joseph Kosinski and electro-pop duo Daft Punk will do the score. Tron Legacy will be shown in 3D starting on December 17th, 2010 in U.S. theatres. Word has it that it’ll reach South African shores on December 31st.

Directed by directed by Spy Films‘ Arev Manoukian, “Nuit Blanche” is a short film set in 1950s Paris and tells the story of a man who catches the gaze of a woman sitting in a cafe across the street. It shows how a fleeting glance between two strangers could result in an explosion of feelings (and a few other things). It’s really quite dramatic, check it out below.

If you’re interested, see the making of Nuit Blanche on YouTube.

The Lost Art of Inglourious Basterds

Quentin Tarantino, The Weinstein Company, and The Upper Playground Art Gallery in Los Angeles have teamed up to raise money for the victims of the Haiti Earthquake. For “The Lost Art of Inglourious Basterds” exhibition, 13 artists were asked to make a poster based on their interpretation of Tarantino’s Oscar-nominated flick. The results are fantastic to say the least.

Six copies of each poster were made; they were numbered and autographed by the acclaimed director, and priced not at a 100 Nazi scalps, but a more realistic USD 300.00 each.

The exhibition previewed last night at The Upper Playground Art Gallery, and I’d be surprised if the posters weren’t snapped up in minutes. Have a look at them after the jump.

Two lads named Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal are at war. They’re not using the traditional munitions though, their heated battle is fought using t-shirts, over 200 of them. It makes for an entertaining stop-motion film. Check it out below.

If you’re so inclined you can buy the tees used in the film at the Rhett & Link store.

It’s Friday we have a Star Wars double feature for you today. First off, back in 2006 YouTube user akjak took sound clips of James Earl Jones from his other movie roles and dubbed them over the Darth Vader scenes in Star Wars Episode IV. The results show Vader as a lonely, confused, depraved man going through a nervous breakdown. It’s totally made of win. Check out the Vader Sessions below.

And next up is Christian Bale’s infamous 2009 tirade mixed into Darth Vader scenes from Star Wars Episode IV. Spoiler alert: Darth Bale is less funny and after the jump.

The 100 Cheesiest Movie Quotes of All Time

5FM’s DJ Fresh has a segment on his daily show called “Cheese of the Day” where he plays some old songs which you might boogied down to back then, but will most likely cringe at when you hear them nowadays. But cheesiness, much like possessing a huge penis, is a subjective thing – whilst some might think it’s lame, others might consider it gosh darn awesome.

Now, YouTube user hh1edits has created what could arguably be the best cheese platter in the world – a selection of the 100 cheesiest movie quotes of all time. Check it out below.

“Alma” is Charming, a Little Creepy

Alma is a short film by first time director Rodrigo Blaas and his team of creative designers. A winner of several animation awards last year, Alma is a story about a little boy who gets lured into a very odd toy store. It’s charming and a little unnerving, or maybe I’m just a big girl’s blouse. Check it out below.

The “Future X-Cops” Trailer is Absurdly Awesome

The “Future X-Cops” Trailer is Absurdly Awesome

Fans of godawful Asian cinema may like this. Andy Lau is Hong Kong’s most commercially successful film actor, having appeared in over a 100 films. I watched just four of them – Infernal Affairs I, II, and III (these were remade by Martin Scorsese as The Departed), and The House of Flying Daggers.

And in Future X-Cops, Lau plays a cop from 2085 who travels back in time to thwart a corporation’s plan to eliminate a scientist who has created a new technology to break up the monopoly on energy resources. Seems like a humdrum plot doesn’t it? What could possibly improve it – perhaps an enemy who arm is made entirely of robotic snakes? Or maybe a baddie that has bullet-proof bat wings? Oh yes, and what about some super-cop cyborg armour? Dude, totally.

I don’t understand a word of Chinese, but I do speak the language of awesome, and the Future X-Cops trailer has left me speechless. It’s absurd, I love it!

The $20 million movie is directed by Jing Wong and will apparently release on February 25th. I doubt this will make it to South African cinemas though.
