Would cinema still be called 7th art if it weren’t for all these exceptional picture masters and genius story tellers offering us masterpieces with each of their movies? Would this 24 pictures per second technique still amaze us so much without such camera gods? Well James Cameron is undeniably one of those! His filmography speaks for itself: Abyss, Aliens, Terminator 2 and the multi-oscarised Titanic… How could such a director go so unnoticed regarding his next movie? Especially considering he claims to revolutionize modern cinema?
Expected by the end of the year, Avatar is one of the most expensive features from the whole cinema history (more than 300 million dollars). Cameron is once more ahead of the rest: just like for Abyss and T2, he created himself the equipment he needed for this latest project… Indeed, the successfully made 3D effects, that amazed those who were lucky enough to view the movie early last august, are due to stereoscopic cameras… But before we can enjoy more concerning this future hit, take a look at the trailer!

With a very tasty cast (Benicio Del Toro, Hugo Weaving, Emily Blunt and Anthony Hopkins, indeed!) and a rather efficient trailer (clever pictures and convincing special effects), this remake from George Waggner’s horror classic made in 1941 (with the great Lon Chaney) seems very promising… That being said, let’s not bay at it like a werewolf at the moon, remakes carrying first good impressions are not always the best ones!

Reunited with his estranged father, Talbot sets out to find his brother… and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself. Talbot’s childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother’s fiancée, Gwen Conliffe, tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline has come to investigate.
While he was famous for his dancing talent, he was also very famous for breaking records: youngest voice to become n°1 in the USA, most expensive video of all times (for Thriller), biggest amount of albums sold worldwide, etc. Gone since last June 25th following to a medical overdose, Michael Jackson might once more unleash passions on the release day from Michael Jackson’s this is It next Wednesday October 28th.
