While searching through a few trailers I came upon this:

"Robin Hood" Gets Underway

May 23, 2009
Starring:
    Russel Crowe as Robin Hood
    Cate Blanchett as Maid Marion
    Matthew Macfadyen as the Sheriff of Nottingham
Directed by Ridley Scott
Produced by Brian Grazer
Score rumored to be composed by Marc Streitenfeld

Russel Crowe as Robin Hood
Dailymail.co.uk has some new on set photos from Robin Hood, which started filming last month in Surrey. This has all the makings of a brilliant film! But that could turn out to be it's only downfall. Expectations are astromonical. Of course I'm looking forward to seeing it!
Robin Hood is set for an April 14, 2010 release.

"The Proposal" Behind the Scenes Footage

First Avater: "The Last Airbender" Images

USA Today reveals the first images of M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender.
Noah Ringer as AangTwelve-year-old black belt Noah Ringer portrays Aang, the last air bender.

Dev Patel as ZukoDev Patel, known as Jamal from Slumdog Millionaire,
portrays Zuko, prince of the fire nation.

I have one problem with the article:
"Ringer didn't need to alter much to play Aang, who uses martial arts to manipulate the weather. Like Aang, Ringer keeps his head shaved and is an expert in martial arts."
Aang doesn't manipulate the weather. Moving on :)


One picture I want to see is of Jackson Rathbone, or Jasper from Twilight, as Sokka. In Twilight he hardly showed any emotion, but that is part of the role. Apparently he is a pretty funny guy, which is important since Sokka is the sole comic relief.

With all the different element bending there will have to be a lot of good special effects. But with Michael Dante DiMartino, one of the original creators, working on the film the story should be preserved well. Having watched the series, I am hoping and praying this will turn out well. The plan seems to be to make a movie for each of the three books (Water, Earth, Fire) the same as the original series.
The cartoon series ended last year with Book Three: Fire.

The Last Airbender is set to be released July 2, 2010.

6/19 Update:
I don't know how I missed this picture, but it came out around the same time as these other two did.Angry Looking ZukoThank you LastAirbenderFans.com
Well, he has the same facial expression that Zuko had. For the entire first book. But how he changes throughout the series will undoubtedly be the most compelling aspect of the story, even if it's centered around Aang and that Fire Lord guy ;)

New Sherlock Holmes Trailer!

May 19, 2009
Starring:
    Robert Downey Jr.
    Rachel McAdams
    Jude Law
Directed by Guy Ritchie
Score composed by Hans Zimmer


First impressions: Looks like it's taking The Dark Knight approach to remakes. Tough and gritty with some witty humor. I love Rachel McAdams and I'm excited to see her here. But I have a problem with Robert Downey's accent. Okay, okay so he is linguistically talented we already knew that; here is just seems off for some reason. Jude Law looks promising. He reminds me of Paul Bettany in Master and Commander. Plus, I did not know Hans Zimmer was the composer for this movie. Yay :)
The new (and improved?) Sherlock Holmes will be in theaters December 25th.
