First Look At Walt Disney Pictures’ ‘Wreck-It Ralph’
Feb 6th
CineHeroes has premiered these first looks at Walt Disney Pictures’ upcoming animated film, ‘Wreck-It Ralph,’ which features the voice talents of John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, and Jane Lynch. Rich Moore (The Simpsons, Futurama) will direct this story of a video game bad guy who sets out to prove he can be the hero. ‘Wreck-It Ralph is set for release November 12th in US and December 26th in the UK.
Wreck-It Ralph (voice of Reilly) longs to be as beloved as his game’s perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix (voice of McBrayer). Problem is, nobody loves a Bad Guy. But they do love heroes… so when a modern, first-person shooter game arrives featuring tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Lynch), Ralph sees it as his ticket to heroism and happiness. He sneaks into the game with a simple plan—win a medal—but soon wrecks everything, and accidently unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens every game in the arcade. Ralph’s only hope? Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Silverman), a young troublemaking “glitch” from a candy-coated cart racing game who might just be the one to teach Ralph what it means to be a Good Guy. But will he realize he is good enough to become a hero before it’s “Game Over” for the entire arcade.
“Republic Of Wadiya” Website Launched For Sacha Baron Cohen’s ‘The Dictator’
Feb 3rd
Heating up the promotional campaign for ‘The Dictator,’ Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest comedy transformation as the deposed ruler of the Republic of Wadiya, Universal Pictures has launched this pretty fantastic official website for the mock-Nation with RepublicOfWadiya.com. Head on over to the site to learn more about the Republic’s leader, Shabazz Aladeen (Baron Cohen), alongside new images, the Republic’s calendar, weather forecast, a hilarious news feed, and links to the Republic’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages. Below is a taster of what to expect.
“Birth: Supreme Leader Shabazz Aladeen gave a great gift to the world when he decided to be born. He was seventh son of the glorious Wadiyan President-For-Life Omar Aladeen. His mother was an Air France stewardess who tragically died of an oxygen underdose shortly after Aladeen’s birth in 1982 – this fact means he is now 30 years old. Any photos you may have seen of Aladeen as a child in the mid-70s, including a great one of him at the premiere of Saturday Night Fever, were doctored by the corrupt Zionist Western media.”
Written by Sacha Baron Cohen and directed by Larry Charles (Borat, Bruno), the film is set for a May 11th release in the US, and May 18th release in the UK. The likes of Anna Faris, J.B. Smoove, Jason Mantzoukas, Megan Fox, John C. Reilly, and Ben Kingsley co-star. The Dictator’ tells the heroic story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed. It is inspired by the best selling novel “Zabibah and The King” by Saddam Hussein.

Kate Winslet Interview For ‘Carnage’
Nov 22nd
A showdown between two kids: about eleven, in a local playground. Swollen lips, broken teeth… Now the parents of the “victim” have invited the parents of the “bully” to their apartment to sort if out. Cordial banter gradually develops a razor-sharp edge as all four parents reveal their laughable contradictions and grotesque prejudices. None of them will escape the ensuing carnage. ’Carnage,’ which runs at 79 minutes since it plays out in real time, is directed by Roman Polanski, it’s based on Yasmina Reza‘s Tony-winning play ’God of Carnage.’ The two sets of parents in question are portrayed by Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz. The film is set for release December 16th in the US and Febuary 2nd in the UK.
With a film like ‘Carnage,’ is the comedy in the script? It must be difficult getting that right balance?
Kate Winslet: I think there’s no handbook or guidebook to comedy, or to be funny or be sad. You have to rely on the writing in a piece like this, the comedy is in the writing with this, it’s in the story, and it’s in the framework of how the piece is set up. And I think acknowledging the fact that it’s a satire, yes, that’s important to do, and we’ve all been able to do that. But you can’t pay these moments and try to make them funny, you have to play the sincerity of the moment, or the lunacy of the moment – just how ridiculous the entire moment is, sometimes it’s funny in of itself. It’s about knowing when to do something that might actually be amusing on camera, or when to rely on the circumstances to be the thing that is humorous.
