Debut ‘The Bourne Legacy’ Trailer & Poster – Starring Jeremy Renner, Edward Norton & Rachel Weisz
Feb 8th
This first trailer and poster has emerged online for the impending Bourne spinoff, ‘The Bourne Legacy.’ Directed by Tony Gilroy (The Devil’s Advocate, Michael Clayton), ‘The Bourne Legacy’ will feature a whole new hero (Jeremy Renner) in the same universe as the first three Bourne films – though the character of Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) will be absent. ‘The Bourne Legacy’ comes to cinemas August 3rd in the US, and August 17th in the UK. The likes of Ed Norton, Oscar Isaac Joan Allen, Albert Finney, Stacy Keach, Rachel Weisz and Scott Glenn co-star. While details on the film are currently kept under wraps, Jeremy Renner recently had the following to say about the project: “My character is called Aaron Cross, but he ends up having a bunch of different names. For fans of the franchise, [The Bourne Legacy] has that same ticking clock, but it’s a new programme and new characters.” So is Treadstone still involved? “Yeah, it’s that same deal, it’s just a new set of agents with a different leash. It’s the same tempo and pace but more expansive and bigger. The differences are pretty vast but you’ll know it’s a Bourne movie.”
The films official synopsis is as follows: The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: The Bourne Legacy. The writer/director expands the Bourneuniverse created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films. For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.
‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’ Pushed Back To January 11th 2013
Jan 10th
Seeing as the film was originally under two months away from release and up until now we hadn’t yet seen a trailer, poster, clip, pretty much zilch other than the above image. It can come as little surprise that Paramount Pictures has rescheduled ‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’ from March 2nd of this year to January 11th, 2013. As of now we don’t know why Paramount has decided to push the movie back, however I’m sure we’ll be hearing details regarding the scheduling change sometime over the next few weeks.
The re-imagined fairy tale flick stars Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as the titular characters. It is said to be a dark action movie that picks up with the fairy tale siblings years after the traumatic childhood incident has turned them into bounty hunters. Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow) directs while Peter Stormare, Famke Janssen, Peter Stormare, Zoe Bell, and Derek Mears co-star.
In a recent interview Gemma Arterton shed some light on how the film incorporates the original Brothers Grimm tale: ”It continues it. You see a series of flashbacks with their experience of killing that first witch, which is brilliant. I remember being on set for the final few days of that. The candy house, and the witches are really repulsive and quite frightening. The makeup is out of this world. It’s this bone-chilling scene. Very dark. The girl who plays my character is brilliant, with the horrified expression she has.”

Cine 1 has unveiled this first teaser poster for Tony Gilroy’s impending Bourne spinoff, ‘The Bourne Legacy.’ Gilroy was the co-screenwriter behind the previous three Bourne movies, he also wrote and directed ‘The Devil’s Advocate’ and ‘Michael Clayton’ – two thoroughly thumbs up worthy flicks! Also to point out, while the film shares a title with the book ‘The Bourne Legacy’ by Eric Van Lustbader – the first book in the series after original writer Robert Ludlum’s death – Gilroy says it’s a stand alone script that does not follow the same plot.

This is not just another mission. The IMF is shut down when it’s implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot.

Director Brad Bird (Ratatouille, The Incredibles) has assembled a fine cast to support Tom Cruise in Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner, Josh Holloway, Simon Pegg, Vladimir Mashkov, Anil Kapoor, Léa Seydoux, Tom Wilkinson and Michael Nyqvist. ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’ is out now in the US, while it’s set for release December 26th in the UK.
When I left my screening for the film, many people were talking about the scene, the dizzying scene, at the top of the Burj Khalifa…..
Tom Cruise: The first moment on the Burj, when I saw the rope, I remember just thinking this is….this is the moment of truth (laughs). I didn’t anticipate the crosswinds, when you’re that high up. I had to figure out how to fly and I was using my feet as rudders. I was attached to a cable holding me, but if I turned too quickly I would go head first into the building. There’s one thing seeing it and another thing trying to accomplish it. I remember that I didn’t quite make it the first time and came slamming into the building (laughs). I was very excited because I thought it would be very entertaining for an audience and very challenging, and so that’s why I did it.
I remember when I was a little kid, I had this G.I. Joe doll that you’d take and you’d throw and the parachute opened. I was about four years old, I took my jungle gym, and pulled it over to the gutter of the house where we were living in at the time. I had torn my sheets off my bed, my new sheets, and I tied ropes around the corners of the sheets. I stuffed it around me. Then I got on top of the jungle gym and jumped for the gutter and I climbed up on the garage, being four years old, not thinking things through clearly (laughs), I took the parachute out, my sheets, and I jumped off the garage – because I always wanted to parachute. The second my feet left the roof, I realised this wasn’t going to work and it wasn’t a good idea (laughs). Luckily it had rained the night before so the ground was kind of muddy and soft. I’ve always wanted to do things like that, climbing – I have respect for heights now though. It was very challenging to do this, we trained for months to do it and to figure it out. Brad Bird made me do it (laughs).
