New Trailer For Battle: Los Angeles – Starring Aaron Eckhart & Michelle Rodriguez
Nov 12th
Sony Pictures has released this great new trailer for Battle: Los Angeles. Over the last few years I’ve seen so many Sci Fi/Action movies where the advertising campaign was better than the actual movie, fingers crossed this won’t follow that trend and it will be a good’en! For those that don’t know Battle: Los Angeles is an alien invasion story presented as an intense present-day war movie, seen from the perspective of a group of Marines. It’s been described by lazy journalists some as ‘Blackhawk Down’ meets ‘Independence Day’. I’m bracing myself for some awesomeness – this looks great! Battle: Los Angeles is in cinemas March 2011.
When unknown forces put the City of Angels under attack, it’s up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to come to the rescue. As the invasion hits the streets of L.A., the Marines become our first and last line of defense against a highly powerful enemy. Bridget Moynahan (I, Robot), Michelle Rodriguez (Avatar) and Michael Peña (World Trade Center) co-star alongside an ensemble cast including Ramon Rodriguez and Ne-Yo.

A Bunch Of New Images From George Clooney’s The American
Jul 19th
I’m really up for this film, it look’s like a visual feast. You can tell director Anton Corbijn is an accomplished photographer, the film looks so stylish. Corbijn has released a bunch of new images from set of the film and a couple from the film itself via his blog. Clooney is good people, he’s got a great ear for working on projects that have vision and integrity.
Alone among assassins, Jack is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more harshly than expected for this American abroad, he vows to his contact Larry that his next assignment will be his last. Jack reports to the Italian countryside, where he holes up in a small town and relishes being away from death for a spell. The assignment, as specified by a Belgian woman, Mathilde, is in the offing as a weapon is constructed. Surprising himself, Jack seeks out the friendship of local priest Father Benedetto and pursues romance with local woman Clara. But by stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate. The American stars George Clooney, Anne Carey, Jill Green, Grant Heslov, Enzo Sisti, Ann Wingate, Moa Westeson and is directed by Anton Corbijn. It’s scheduled for release 26th November.
The American Trailer – Starring George Clooney
May 4th
Everyone pretty much likes George Clooney, even the internet haters, which when considering he was the worst Batman in cinema history (yes he was worse than Val Kilmer) and the fact that your Mum, Sister, Aunt, Girlfriend, Wife, Grandma, Dog fancies him is a fine achievement. He pretty much wins everyone over with his effortless charm and humour (another reason to hate on him), and now he is playing an Assassin which will give him even more brownie points, especially on the manly side of things. I’m stoked for this film, the trailer looks great, you can tell that director Anton Corbijn is an accomplished Photographer , the film looks beautiful. The American is directed by Anton Corbijn and also stars Bruce Altman, Thekla Reuten, Paolo Bonacelli and Violante Placido. It’s is in cinemas September 1, 2010.

Four New Stills From Christopher Nolan’s Inception
Apr 21st
I’m completely stoked for this film. As the release date inches closer we are slowly being revealed more and more, Nolan has done an excellent job in keeping the story under wraps, that has just fed into my excitement, hopefully a new trailer will be released in the next few weeks. It’s good to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt in this, his career is going from strength to strength. The premise seems to be about people who go into people’s dreams and steal their ideas, sounds mad, but awesome at the same time. Christopher Nolan is the mastermind behind Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige and The Dark Knight, I was sold just on his back catalogue. You can check out some more Inception images here.
Gemma Arterton Interview For The Disappearance Of Alice Creed Part 2
Apr 21st
Here’s part 2 (check out part 1 here) of my interview with the lovely Gemma Arterton to talk about her brilliant new film The Disappearance Of Alice Creed. In Gemma’s young career to date she’s best known for her roles in Quantum of Solace, Clash of the Titans and the upcoming Prince of Persia. The Disappearance Of Alice Creed is in UK cinemas the 30th April.
Two men – one in his twenties, the other nearer forty, both intensely focused on the task at hand – line the inside of a transit van with plastic. Shopping, they buy a drill, a mattress and other supplies. In a small flat they assemble a bed for the mattress and staple foam insulation and board to the walls and windows of a bedroom. Then, their meticulous preparations complete, they kidnap a young woman. They drag her from the street into the back of the van and, with a bag over her head and ball gag in her mouth, take her back to the flat, tying her to the bed in the room they have converted into a prison cell.
The kidnappers are Danny (Martin Compston) and Vic (Eddie Marsan), two ex-cons planning to make a mint on the ransom for the young woman. The younger, nervier of the two, Danny defers to the more experienced Vic, who acts with a steely conviction. Their hostage is Alice Creed (Gemma Arterton), daughter of a rich businessman, chosen by Vic and Danny as their passport to a better life. Terrified and immobile at first, it soon becomes clear that Alice isn’t about to let her captors use her as capital without a fight. As determined to escape as Vic and Danny are to succeed, Alice enters into a battle of wills which strains the already fractious relationship between the two men. As the deadline for the exchange draws nearer, all three are brought close to breaking point, with Vic and Danny’s foolproof plan descending into a desperate struggle for survival.
What does it feel like having so many films out within two or three months?
Gemma Arterton: It’s mad, Prince Of Persia wrapped a year and a half ago and Clash Of The Titans wrapped almost a year ago, I made these films over a long period of time, but they all have come out at the same time, which is fortunate and unfortunate (laughs). I don’t wanna be that annoying girl that’s in everything. There’s gonna be a very big gap until my next film though, people won’t have to see me any more for a while (laughs).
I know you do a lot of theatre work, is that what you’ll be concentrating more on in the coming months?
Gemma Arterton: Yeah, I always make sure I do theatre, I turned down four films to work on my next one, everyone was going WHAT ARE YOU DOING? It’s really important to me though. I love theatre and I learn so much from it, I learn so much more about acting. Hopefully I’ll do at least one play a year. I think it’s one of those thing’s you really have to go for.
What is it about theatre that you love, is it the immediacy?
Gemma Arterton: Yeah, I know everyone says it but it’s true, it is the purest form, you have to get it right, this film was a bit like being in a play though, you had to get it right then and there, you had to have built up the relationships and there were no special effects. It’s scary doing a play though, even though I feel much more at home on a stage than on a set, it’s still very frightening, which is the reason I think you should do it. You have control over what you do as well, in film an editor can change your performance and shape it sometimes. I just worked with Stephen Frears though, he keeps texting me to ask when I’m coming into the editing sweet to edit my role, he says if I come in and remember I done a good take, he’ll take that into consideration, I really like that, the fact that he’s not completely precious and willing to trust his actors.
The ability to keep doing it over and over, night after night is fascinating to me.
Gemma Arterton: Luckily with my last play, even on the last day we were always finding things, that’s why Shakespeare’s plays will continually be out there, because you can always find something new in them. If I done a bog standard play that’s really dull I think I would go out of my mind. As an actor I think your required to imagine you don’t know the ending, you don’t know what’s coming next, imagine that you’ve never said this before. I worked with one director who would go ‘never before’ just before I went on, just saying that helped me though. That’s one of the hard things of acting, imagining that you’ve never done it before, the good thing is that the last play was a comedy so every night was so different, I’ve never experienced nothing like it, different audiences laugh at different things as well. You take a lot from the audience.
I’m not gonna pretend that it doesn’t get monotonous though, because it does at times, especially on matinée day. I find it really valuable to do it because you the skill of acting like you’ve never said what your going to say before is hard, it’s an invaluable skill to have as an actor.
