Vin Diesel & Writer/Director David Twohy Feature In New ‘Riddick’ Set Images
Mar 10th
Vin Diesel has again took to his hugely popular Facebook account to share two images from the set of the action-driven, sci-fi thriller ’Riddick.’ The film, written and directed by David Twohy (The Chronicles of Riddick, A Perfect Getaway), also stars Katee Sackoff, Jordi Molla, Karl Urban, Matt Nable, Bokeem Woodbine, Conrad Pla, Raoul Trujillo and Nolan Funk.
The latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000′s hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004′s The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, The Fugitive) and star Vin Diesel (the Fast and Furious franchise, xXx). Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.
The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty. The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy.

TV Spot & Four New Images From ‘The Cabin in the Woods’
Mar 9th
Lionsgate has released this TV spot and new batch of images from Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon’s fantastic looking high-concept horror ‘The Cabin in the Woods.’ Directed by Goddard, who co-wrote with Whedon, the film is said to be a spin on the familiar “cabin in the woods” formula. Set for release April 13th, ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ stars Chris Hemsworth, Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford, Jesse Williams, Fran Kranz, Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchison and Amy Acker. Lionsgate made a deal with MGM to distribute ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ last summer, putting an end to an unexpectedly long shelf life for a horror film that has such a terrific creative pedigree in Drew Goddard and Josh Whedon. I for one am stoked for this flick….roll on April!
Five friends go to a remote cabin in the woods. Bad things happen. If you think you know this story, think again. From fan favorites Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard comes THE CABIN IN THE WOODS, a mind blowing horror film that turns the genre inside out. Produced by Whedon and directed by Goddard from a script by both, the film stars Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz, Jesse Williams, Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford.
David Tennant Interview For ‘The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists’
Mar 9th
In Aardman Animations ‘The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists,’ Hugh Grant, starring in his first animated role, is the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain – a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award. It’s a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they battle a diabolical queen (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a haplessly smitten young scientist (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure! Aardman are the consistently awesome team behind the likes of ‘Wallace and Gromit,’ ‘Chicken Run’ and ‘Arthur Christmas.’ ’ The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists’ is Aardman’s first 3-D stop-motion film, and Peter Lord’s first film as a director since ‘Chicken Run.’ The film is released in cinemas March 28th in the UK and April 27th in the US.
Can you tell us about your incarnation of Charles Darwin in ‘The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists’?
David Tennant: It’s before he’s quite conquered his theory of evolution. It’s a young Charles Darwin, it’s a Darwin with perhaps more insecurities than the Darwin that would later become world famous. There’s insecurities about his own abilities, both as a scientist and as a man. So in this film, he’s not the most confident chap you could hope to come across. At times he’s a little craven and perhaps not the most generous spirited chap in the world either….I don’t know if this Darwin is particularly historically accurate (laughs), I’m just gonna put that out there! But in terms of the story of the film, his insecurities help to drive the plot in perhaps slightly unexpected directions.
Will Ferrell Sings In New Clip From ‘Casa de mi Padre’
Mar 9th
Funny or Die has unleashed this new video/clip from Matt Piedmont’s Will Ferrell-starring Spanish-language comedy ‘Casa de mi Padre,’ featuring Ferrell singing Yo No Se (or I Don’t Know). Set for release March 16th in the US, ‘Casa de mi Padre’ co-stars Gael Garcia Bernal (The Motorcycle Diaries), Diego Luna (Milk) and Genesis Rodriguez (Man on a Ledge). I REALLY like the look of this film, so much so that the caps-locked “REALLY” is FULLY justified…..as is that “FULLY”!
“Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father’s ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch encounters financial difficulties, Armando’s younger brother Raul (Diego Luna) shows up with his new fiancee, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez). It seems that Raul’s success as an international businessman means the ranch’s troubles are over as he pledges to settle all debts his father has incurred. But when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul’s business dealings turn out to be less than legit, all hell breaks loose as they find themselves in a war with Mexico’s most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal).”
Noomi Rapace Stars In Claustrophobic & Creepy UK Trailer For ‘Babycall’
Mar 9th
The good folks over at Empire have released this UK trailer for Pal Seltaune’s dark psychological thriller ‘Babycall.’ Starring Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows) as Anna, a mother trying to protect her son, Anders, from an allegedly abusive father. They move to a secret address in a giant apartment building. Due to Anna being terrified that her ex-husband will find them, she buys a babycall to make sure Anders is safe while he sleeps. Soon, strange noises echoe in the babycall from elsewhere in the building. Anna overhears what she believes is the murder of a child. Meanwhile, Anders gets a mysterious, dark-haired friend who comes and goes a she wants. Creepy stuff!
Alongside Noomi Rapace, ‘Babycall’ co-stars Kristoffer Joner, Velte Qvenild Werring, Stig Amdam, and Maria Bock. The film is set for release March 30th in the UK. There’s currently no word when the film will be making the leap across the pond for US audiences. I’m sure with Noomi Rapace’s leading role in Ridley Scott’s ’Prometheus’ this summer, you can expect a US release for ‘Babycall’ shortly.
