The “human-vampire-werewolf” love triangle from the saga delighting thousands of teenagers worldwide is about to release on this Friday June 30th its 3rd episode; The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Following to Catherine Hardwicke and Chris Weit who were in charge of directing the first two episodes, it is now the turn of David Slade (who is used to vampires as he already directed 30 Days of Night) to direct this saga of forbidden desires’ third part. It makes no doubt that just as for both previous movies that were based on Stephenie Meyer’s best sellers; the feature will be as overwhelming to the box office as Robert Patisson will be to his girl fans! Moreover, it seems that Bella, Edward and Jacob are not done yet with their adventures two additional chapters will be needed to conclude this supernatural love story; chapter IV: Breaking Dawn and chapter V: Midnight Sun, respectively planed for 2011 and 2013… Just like frenzy fans’ expenses, seems like Bella’s heart still has some hard times to come!
Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob - knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life.
Supposedly a modern version from George A. Romero’s 4th movie (1974), The Crazies was released on February 26th 2010. Directed by Breck Eisner, this nth American remake reuses most of the original story plot (a virus threat on a little town) and uses it as a scenario background to criticize the American military forces and the methods they use… A theme that Romero also explores in his 3rd zombies’ episode: Day of the Dead. Despite horror fans’ first doubts, the feature turned out to be quite effective and gory. Far from the crap movie that many expected, only regret remains in regards to the slightly weaker impact of the approached theme compared to the original feature…
However, if infected movies are indeed your cup of tea, then a trip to this little middle-west town is definitely a must! Anchor Bay plans on releasing the video editions on June 29th with a few bonuses such as the director’s voice comment as well as five other extras focussing on various aspects of the feature (making of, documentary on Romero, make up explanations and another doc on cinema pandemics)… Well, as suggested on the posters, now is not a good time to trust your neighbours!
Breck Eisner’s remake of the George A. Romero classic (the legendary horror director’s personal favourite) finds the Iowan town of Odgen Marsh under siege from its denizens after its water supply is contaminated with a deadly toxin. As the townspeople murder, pillage and generally run amok, it’s up to a small band of uncontaminated folk (led by the sheriff - played by Timothy Olyphant) to fight for survival.
Based on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s comic book that was cleverly mixing together indie rock music with teenage romance and some manga-inspired graphics, Edgar Wright’s film project finally ends up being quite exciting to many geeks due to the online trailer presenting a promising movie filled with impressive fight scenes in a video pop atmosphere and featuring a rather good cast! In this Scott Pilgrim versus the World, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz’s great director has replaced his two usual favourites Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for a more “American” cast: staring the fashionable Micheal Cera for the main part, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, charming Chris Evans (playing Human Torch in the Fantastic Four), Brandon Routh (Superman’s reboot), Jason Schwartzman and some new ones like Ellen Wong and Kieran Culkin… With amazing visuals (spectacular fight scenes, a comic book atmosphere) and a touching and clever scenario (a half looser hero with a large heart trying to get rid of his girl’s 7 exs), the meeting is set up on August 13th!
The famous burned face cowboy created in 1972 by John Albano and Tony DeZuniga gets for the first time his own movie adaptation! Directed by Jimmy Hayward, also creator of Horton Hears a Who, the feature will be released on Friday June 18th and staring the hardly recognisable Josh Brolin to play Jonah Hex. Just as in DC’s book and also shown in the trailer, the feature appears to be quite gloomy and violent, to the delight of gun fans looking for some blood and revenge… In addition to Brolin, John Malkovitch (an evil priest trying to raise an army of zombies) as well as the charming Megan Fox (playing Hex’s only friend Leila) who was recently thrown out of Transformer’s 3rd episode, will also be part of the adventure. Well, be ready to eat dust during this very rough journey that takes place in hostile Far-West!
