Monthly Movie Preview – December 2009

3 December 2009 1:53 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

This is going to be a great month. No matter whether these big and small movies fall flat on their faces or not there’s going to be plenty to choose from – especially for those who want to keep up with important films.

First up is Avatar, one of the biggest gambles of this decade. Will the same kind of crowd that saw The Dark Knight or Transformers multiple times venture to movie theatres to see a 150-minute-long 3-D film that features tall blue creatures? It’s up in the air.

Which reminds me of a few more titles that should be worth checking out, one of them being Jason Reitman’s new film with George Clooney. The drama-comedy about a man who fires people for a living has been getting great buzz from its successful festival runs, with Oscar talk flying around as smoothly as paper airplanes.

But, Up In the Air »

The film will be released May 7 , 2010.

"Iron Man 2" is set six months after the events of "Iron Man", with the ' S.H.I.E.L.D.' organization continuing to have a major role. The film explores Stark's alcoholism, as he is unable to cope with his advancing age, concealing the fact he is Iron Man, and dealing with his budding love interest 'Pepper' (Gwyneth Paltrow), finding another boyfriend.

Downey revealed that while the film was not an adaptation of the "Demon in a Bottle" storyline from the comic book series, it was more about the 'interim space' between the origin and the demon story arc.

Cast of "Iron Man 2" also includes Don Cheadle as 'Lt. »

Legion Images: Paul Bettany Wants God Dead

2 December 2009 3:46 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Legion will be an early contender for the title of most blasphemous movie of the year when it hits theaters on January 10th of next year. Paul Bettany plays the Archangel Michael who, when God decides to wipe out humanity, grabs a machine gun and flies down to earth to help mankind kick Almighty.s ass. And you thought the Catholic Church hated the Da Vinci Code. Between this and his stint as Charles Darwin in the controversial biopic released earlier this year, can there be any doubt that Paul Bettany hates Jesus? This can.t be a coincidence. Jesus must have slept with his mom or something. Sony has just released the first three official stills from Legion to go with the insane poster released awhile back. Check them out below or visit our full Legion image gallery right here. »

More Legion photos

2 December 2009 9:44 AM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

When the Apocalypse comes, angels will come to earth with Ak-47's. Legion doesn't star any weak, sissy angels. They have the muscle packed badassness that is Kevin Durand to carry the heat. Of course, there's Paul Bettany as the archangel Michael in charge of saving humanity. At first, I didn't really know what to make of this, but after seeing the trailer at the movies I was sold. It's a wonderful story of God being done with our entire planet, and saying, 'F*ck it, let's start over.'... »

Oscar MythBusting: One Day They'll Be Nominated!

2 December 2009 9:00 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Most fans of established actors believe that one day their favorite will be nominated for an Oscar. In 2009 campaigns hopes are particularly high for Sandra Bullock, Alfred Molina, Colin Firth and Christopher Plummer. Fans of James McAvoy and Sam Rockwell still hold out longshot hope. But guess what? The odds are, generally speaking, against them on February 2nd (two months hence!) when the lucky 20 are called.

Most actors aren't ever nominated for the big prize. People seemed surprise to read in an old Oscar Mythbusting column I wrote years ago that the majority of nominated actors (approximately 67%) never receive a second nomination. But I did the research and it's true. Even less likely than a second nomination: a first one. Consider this...

The following (living) legends have still never been nominated despite rich bodies of work and several classic films or exuberantly praised performances: Mia Farrow, Isabelle Huppert, Christopher Plummer and Donald Sutherland. »

Hitting Theaters This Weekend

2 December 2009 3:00 AM, PST | movies.about.com | See recent movies.about.com news »

New Moon and The Blind Side have had a choke-hold on the box office for the last two weeks, and although some big names hit the screen this weekend in new releases, I'm betting vampires and a blonde Sandra Bullock will once again earn 1st and 2nd place when Sunday rolls around. December kicks off with an action-packed heist, a widower traveling the country to connect with his kids, and the remake of a 2004 Danish film. Also hitting theaters in limited release is Jason Reitman's latest buzz-worthy offering:

Armored featuring Matt Dillon and Columbus Short

Brothers starring Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal

Everybody's Fine with Robert De Niro and Kate Beckinsale

Brand New Images From Biblical End Of The World Flick Legion

26 November 2009 1:14 PM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

If there weren’t enough biblical, end of the world films around at the moment then there is one more that should be top of everybody’s list, and that my friends, is Legion. Starring Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Adrianne Palicki, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson and Kevin Durand, Legion is a kick-ass God vs Us film in which mankind’s only hopes rest with the fallen angel Michael. Roughly translated: awesome action with dark, religious undertones – bring me the popcorn!

With the movie’s release drawing ever nearer, a legion (’scuse me) of new images have been released for the film. Check out a handful below, click on them to be taken through to the rest!

Scott Stewart’s supernatural thriller Legion, scripted by Peter Schink, concerns a group of strangers in an out-of-the-way eatery who become the first line of defense when God, believing the human race is no longer worthy of Him, »

New Stills from 'Legion' Bring the CG Action

25 November 2009 10:46 PM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »

I know Sony Screen Gems isn't known for releasing all that great movies, but occasionally one slips through the cracks (Quarantine anyone?). I don't know what it is about Scott Stewart's Legion, but I'm intensely excited for it. Watching the trailer I know I'm not in for a mind-bender, but what it looks like it a cross between Matrix, Constantine and The Crow. Angles, demons, guns and a God who hates mankind. Bring on the blood and action, win-win for all I say. Anyways, Screen Gems released a few new images from the film starring Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid and Tyrese Gibson, all of which can be viewed beyond the break. The battle begins on January 22, 2010. »

New Images from Legion Plus Steve Watches 20 Minutes of the Film

25 November 2009 2:09 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Last week I went to Sony Studios for a set visit on Priest.  While I’m embargoed from saying anything on that film, while I was there, we were shown around 20 minutes from Screen Gems upcoming Legion, and we were also provided a number of new images from the film.

If you’re not familiar with Legion, it’s a supernatural action thriller where an out-of-the-way diner becomes the unlikely battleground for the survival of the human race.  When God loses faith in Mankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse.  Humanity’s only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner and the Archangel Michael (Paul Bettany).   Legion also stars Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson, Kate Walsh, Adrianne Palicki, Charles S. Dutton and Willa Holland.

Hit the jump for my thoughts on the footage and the images:

In 2012, he chooses, rather than spaced out aliens or freaky weather conditions, the effect of a gigantic solar flare on the earth's core.

Priest Wraps Production in L.A.

23 November 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

Less than a year away from its October 1, 2010 release, director Scott Stewart has called it a wrap on Priest , his loose adaptation of the Manga of the same name. Stewart has been shooting this sci-fi/horror/action amalgamation in and around Los Angeles for the last few months with stars Paul Bettany, Maggi Q, Karl Urban and Christopher Plummer. As principal photography came closer to completion, Stewart hinted at one major scene that he got in the can: "Sorry gang for the crickets. The myopia of production. Been shooting in the vampire hive," he wrote via his Twitter account. Shock Till You Drop paid a visit to the Priest set last week, so stay tuned for a full set report! »
