New International Poster For Darren Aronofsky’s ‘Black Swan’ – Starring Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel & Mila Kunis
Dec 6th
Glamour Magazine have got their mitts on this new international poster for Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan. I think I’ve gushed over this film enough by now. All you need to know is that it’s engrossing, beautifully twisted and wholly fantabulous! Black Swan is set for release January 21st, 2011 in the UK. You can check out my interview with Natalie Portman here, Darren Aronofsky interview here, and Mila Kunis/Vincent Cassel here.
Black Swan follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who zealously supports her daughter’s professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

New International Poster For Michael Gondry’s ‘The Green Hornet’ – Starring Seth Rogen, Jay Chou & Christoph Waltz
Nov 25th
I’m afraid this poster receives a big slice of meh, and a hefty scoop of blah. I’m still stoked for this though, the other posters were awesome, I just think this ones a touch uninspired. The Green Hornet stars Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Cameron Diaz, Christoph Waltz, Edward James Olmos, David Harbour and Tom Wilkinson.
Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) is the son of LA’s most prominent and respected media magnate and perfectly happy to maintain a directionless existence on the party scene – until his father (Tom Wilkinson) mysteriously dies, leaving Britt his vast media empire. Striking an unlikely friendship with one of his father’s more industrious and inventive employees, Kato (Jay Chou), they see their chance to do something meaningful for the first time in their lives: fight crime. But in order to do this, they decide to become criminals themselves – protecting the law by breaking it, Britt becomes the vigilante The Green Hornet as he and Kato hit the streets.
Using all his ingenuity and skill, Kato builds the ultimate in advanced retro weaponry, The Black Beauty, an indestructible car equal parts firepower and horsepower. Rolling in a mobile fortress on wheels and striking the bad guys with Kato’s clever gadgets, The Green Hornet and Kato quickly start making a name for themselves, and with the help of Britt’s new secretary, Lenore Case (Cameron Diaz), they begin hunting down the man who controls LA’s gritty underworld: Benjamin Chudnofsky (Christoph Waltz). But Chudnofsky has plans of his own: to swat down The Green Hornet once and for all.
Third Trailer For Little Fockers – Starring Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller & Dustin Hoffman
Nov 10th
Yahoo! Movies! have got their hands on the third trailer for ‘Little Fockers’. Which thankfully is a step up from the last two, it still doesn’t look amazing but at least it made me laugh slightly – especially the last section of the trailer. That being said the joke that the ‘Fockers’ surname is one letter away from a swear word has already gone to the redundant school of redundancy for the chronically redundant. Hopefully my reservations are unfounded, the cast is top-notch – Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, Jessica Alba, Laura Dern, Harvey Keitel, Teri Polo, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand. Little Fockers comes to theaters December 22nd, 2010
The test of wills between Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) and Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) escalates to new heights of comedy in the third installment of the blockbuster series—Little Fockers. Laura Dern, Jessica Alba and Harvey Keitel join the returning all-star cast for a new chapter of the worldwide hit franchise. It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam (Polo) and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get “in” with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack. After the cash-strapped dad takes a job moonlighting for a drug company, however, Jack’s suspicions about his favorite male nurse come roaring back. When Greg and Pam’s entire clan—including Pam’s lovelorn ex, Kevin (Owen Wilson)—descends for the twins’ birthday party, Greg must prove to the skeptical Jack that he’s fully capable as the man of the house. But with all the misunderstandings, spying and covert missions, will Greg pass Jack’s final test and become the family’s next patriarch…or will the circle of trust be broken for good?
Meet The Parents: Little Fockers International Trailer– Starring Robert DeNiro, Ben Stiller, Harvey Keitel & Jessica Alba

Universal Pictures have released this brand new international trailer for Little Fockers, the third film in the Meet the Parents series. To be honest with you this was my face while watching the trailer :-[ ……it looks so unfunny. The joke that the ‘Fockers’ surname is one letter away from a swear word has already gone to the redundant school of redundancy for the chronically redundant. The cast is pretty stacked with talent in Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, Jessica Alba, Laura Dern, Harvey Keitel, Teri Polo and Barbra Streisand, hopefully some fine performances will be it’s saving grace.

New International Trailer For The Green Hornet
Jul 7th
After being pleasantly surprised by the first trailer, this international trailer is a big fat slice of average in comparison. Some of the better moments from the previous trailer have been removed, and we don’t get much new footage to compensate that. On a positive note look at Christoph Waltz…….I thought two things when I saw the picture above, one – how greatly manicured his hands were, and two – how utterly BADASS he looks!
