Feb 5th
Entertainment Weekly has unveiled this new image from Ridley Scott’s ‘Prometheus,’ the prequel to his 1979 classic sci-fi film, ‘Alien.’ ’Prometheus’ features a stellar cast in Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Sean Harris, Kate Dickie, Guy Pearce, Rafe Spall and Logan Marshall-Green. My excitement meter is officially set to ‘squeal like a Japanese schoolgirl’ for this film. ‘Prometheus’ is released in cinemas June 8th. The film is written by Damon Lindelof, Jon Spaihts and Ridley Scott.
Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
Matthew Vaughn Back To Direct The ‘X-Men: First Class’ Sequel
Jan 30th
Finally! According to Deadline, 20th Century Fox has just closed a deal with Matthew Vaughn to come back and direct the sequel to ‘X-Men: First Class,’ with Simon Kinberg writing the script and Bryan Singer back as producer. ‘X-Men: First Class’ was without doubt one of my favourite blockbusters of 2011, however, while I’m happy to see Vaughn back in the directors chair, it does alarm me that Kinberg is penning the script instead of Vaughn’s frequent collaborator Jane Goldman – who co-wrote ‘X-Men: First Class,’ ‘Kick Ass,’ ‘Stardust’ and ‘The Debt’ with Vaughn. Kinberg has a number of duds on his resume; ‘xXx: State of the Union,’ ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ and ‘Jumper.’ Fingers crossed my slight trepidation is unwarranted and Goldman comes on-board to touch up the script at a later date.
While there’s no confirmation, I’d assume the principal cast will reprise their roles, including James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Rose Byrne, January Jones, Nicholas Hoult, Lucas Till, Caleb Landry Jones, Zoë Kravitz, Jason Flemyng and Jennifer Lawrence. There’s currently no word on what direction the sequel will go in. On the promotional rounds for the first film, Vaughn suggested that he might want to kick off the sequel with the Kennedy assassination. “I’ve got some ideas for the opening for the next film. I thought it would be fun to open with the Kennedy Assassination, and we reveal that the magic bullet was controlled by Magneto. That would explain the physics of it, and we see that he’s pissed off because Kennedy took all the credit for saving the world and mutants weren’t even mentioned. And we could go from there, and I’ve got some fun ideas about what other mutants to bring in.” Expect more details regarding this film soon.

Antonio Banderas Interview For Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Haywire’
Jan 18th
This dynamic action-thriller directed by Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh boasts a talented cast that includes Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton , Michael Douglas, Michael Angarano; and introduces mixed martial arts superstar Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, in a demanding lead role that has her performing her own high-adrenaline stunts.
Mallory Kane is a highly trained operative who works for a government security contractor in the dirtiest, most dangerous corners of the world. After successfully freeing a Chinese journalist held hostage, she is double crossed and left for dead by someone close to her in her own agency. Suddenly the target of skilled assassins who know her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive. Using her black-ops military training, she devises an ingenious—and dangerous—trap. But when things go haywire, Mallory realizes she’ll be killed in the blink of an eye unless she finds a way to turn the tables on her ruthless adversary. ‘Haywire’ is out now in the UK. It’s set for release January 20th in the US.
First off, how did you get involved with ‘Haywire’?
Antonio Banderas: Steven Soderbergh is one of those guys you say “yes” to, sometimes without reading the script. I had the opportunity….he called me twice in my career, but I couldn’t actually work with him. One was for ‘Che’ and the other one was ‘Traffic.’ I was signed at that particular time with other movies, but I knew. I had talked to him very early when I came to Los Angeles. He just presented ‘Sex, Lies, and Videotapes‘ and I loved that movie. We were talking about Almodóvar, because he’s a fan of Pedro. So at that time, he said to me, “I would like to have the opportunity to work together some day.” But many years, almost twenty years happened in the middle (laughs). He sent me the script. It was very confusing to me, to tell you the truth, but it was an immediate positive answer to work with him. I don’t regret it for a second. It was great.

Mallory Kane (Gina Carano) is a highly trained operative who works for a government security contractor in the dirtiest, most dangerous corners of the world. After successfully freeing a Chinese journalist held hostage, she is double crossed and left for dead by someone close to her in her own agency. Suddenly the target of skilled assassins who knew her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, ‘Haywire’ is released January 18th and stars Gina Carano, Michael Douglas, Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas and Channing Tatum.
What the process of getting this role like?
Gina Carano: I got the phone call after I lost my first fight to “Cyborg” Santos, and I didn’t really want to speak to anybody at the time. I was bummed. I had a black eye, and my agent called me and he said that this director wanted to meet me, and I didn’t know who he was. I decided to pick Steven up at the train station in San Diego. We had a four hour lunch and at the end of it he offered me a movie. So, there was no auditioning. I don’t know what that is like yet. When offered me the part I said, “Absolutely.” He was so professional, so normal, just an intelligent human being that I felt it would be a pleasure to work….I was incredibly thankful, especially after I got completely pummelled by someone (laughs).
