Matt Damon gives up the ghost and new blood moves in to take over. Treadstone is back and they are offering the role of Jason Bourne to Aaron Cross, another assassin with baggage. Not much is known about the plot of the film, but I would wager it doesn’t follow the book at all, much like its predecessors…
Stars: Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Joan Allen, Albert Finney
The crazy success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has created the market for a slew of similarly themed books starring historical or fictional characters versus the Occult. The first of these to hit the big screen will be Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, ahead of the proto-generator Pride and Prejudice and Zombies which isn’t scheduled to come out until 2013. Well, the trailer is out and the first thing that’s apparent is that AL:VH is swinging for the fences.
Rampart is a movie about a real-life police scandal in 1999 in inner-city Los Angeles. Woody Harrelson plays Dave Brown, a member of the rampart division of the Los Angeles Police Department. The drama with Brown began to become public when he was caught on tape severely beating a citizen who had hit him with his car. The video hit the news, and the scandal began. Brown was also accused of many other controversies including murder. The movie also deals with Brown’s home life. He has two ex-wives, who are sisters. He has one child by each of them.
Director Oren Moverman and Harrelson went to the rampart department of the LAPD to shadow them. The two went on ride-alongs and got an inside look of the area that was being policed during the scandal, as well as the tension within the department.
Rampart will release in theaters tomorrow, although it is not being released locally, so I cannot see it yet.
Each week, there are ideas that come to Hollywood and we all just think, “Alright, they’ve reached the limit, it can’t go much farther than that,” and each week, we’re just surprised by what they can come up with. At this point, we think we’ve reached the limit, but we really haven’t. The newest piece of awesome to hit theaters? Osombie, and no this isn’t a weekday prank, this is real.
The plot, you ask? The film, “Follows Dusty, a yoga instructor from Colorado on a desperate rescue mission to save her crazy brother Derek, a conspiracy theorist who is convinced Osama Bin Laden is still alive. In Afghanistan, Dusty falls in with a team of NATO Special Forces on a secret assignment. Turns out Derek is not so crazy after all, and Osama Bin Laden has returned from his watery grave and is making an army of zombie terrorists.”
Now, I don’t know about you guys, but American cinema just doesn’t get more inventively and sarcastically patriotically than that. The hilarious trailer, which starts off with: Viewer Discretion: scenes of violence and gore and muscular men with their shirts off. From there, the hilarious teaser keeps you laughing through your dropped jaw for a good minute and a half, and when it’s over, you have to ask yourself, is this real?
Well, I’m here to report that it is. Fortunately, this isn’t just another 30 second preview of a film like 2016 which is a mystery as to whether it’s an actual movie or not. Directed by “veteran editor” John Lyde, with a script by Kurt Hale, the movie has already been shot and edited, with the filmmakers now in post-production, laying a soundtrack over it, as well as tweaking a few other things.
Honestly, I can’t wait. Terrorists and zombies mixed together are about as great as Nazi zombies, but let’s hope it’s not as disappointing as Dead Snow.
Now it wasn’t that long ago that we got our first look at Marc Webb‘s upcoming reboot The Amazing Spider-Manstarring Andrew Garfield as Spidey. The first footage was interesting to say the least, and it offered a pretty great look at Peter Parker and some of the cast of the film. There was a little Spider-Man here and there, but it loved up to its name. It was a teaser.
This is the trailer, folks. This trailer is chock full of new and great footage, including our first looks at the Lizard, some really great Spidey action scenes, and tons more. We’ll talk after. Enjoy.
The Avengers aired its SuperBowl spot earlier tonight, and chances are you are one of the many who saw it. But just in case you haven’t, I’ll give you a very brief summary: It features some of the best footage we’ve seen outside of Comic-Con so far, lending more camera time to Loki, his yet-unidentified alien army and The Hulk. The extended version of the trailer is up on the Avengers’ Facebook page now. Check it out below:
