A Christmas Carol Featurette with Jim Carrey & Robert Zemeckis

Yesterday a new Japanese trailer for Robert Zemeckis' A Christmas Carol hit the web. Not only was it too low quality, but it just wasn't that exciting, so I decided not to feature. I'm glad I decided to wait, because a new featurette just hit the web today that not only includes a lot of great new footage in it, but also includes some interviews with Jim Carrey and Robert Zemeckis. It's not truly a behind-the-scenes featurette per se, because it doesn't show us how this made, but instead features the two talking about their collaboration in bringing the Charles Dickens' tale to life. It's a great little featurette that I suggest everyone check out!

Check These Out: Character Posters for Scott Stewart's Legion

By Alex Billington

I wasn't initially planning on featuring these posters today at first glance, but after noticing that they all have a snippet of a longer, biblical quote on them, I thought why the hell not? Although I'm not particularly excited for Scott Stewart's Legion, starring Paul Bettany as the Archangel Michael, I do admire all of this marketing, as this imagery is badass and would otherwise sell me if it weren't for the trailer looking pretty bad. All six of these character posters come from JoBlo. Together they say: "So it will be at the end of the age the angels will come forth to take out the wicked and throw them into the furnace of fire." Awesome.

Jim Sturgess & Kirsten Dunst Cast in Sci-Fi Film Upside Down

By Alex Billington

I love the sci-fi genre and usually seek out great sci-fi indies, including little seen films like Mr. Nobody. Upside Down is a new project from Argentinian filmmaker Juan Diego Solanas that is being described as "an alternate reality and groundbreaking" sci-fi film. According to Production Weekly, Solanas has cast Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst, two great actors, to star in this project. The very, very basic plot is that "a man searches an alternate universe for a long-lost love from his youth." However, the concept is much more twisted and incredible beyond that, as you might expect for a sci-fi film with a title like Upside Down.

Sam Raimi Wants to 'Get Back to the Basics' on Spider-Man 4

By Alex Billington

It's amazing how far some quotes can get, but this time these quotes deserve to be seen. Director Sam Raimi recently talked with the print edition of DVD & Blu-Ray Review (via Coventry Telegraph) about his plans for Spider-Man 4 and, more importantly, what went wrong on Spider-Man 3 (and how he won't be making those mistakes again). With Raimi returning for the fourth movie (due out in 2011), fans are a bit worried that he's going to screw it up again (even though I don't blame Raimi for the problems). Thankfully it sounds like he knows what went wrong and is already planning not to let this next one get out of hand.

Brandon's Word: Law Abiding Citizen is an Explosive Thrill

By Brandon Lee Tenney

The grammar stickler in me has an immediate problem with Law Abiding Citizen. The words "law" and "abiding" are not supposed to be separate, but rather combined as a hyphenated adjective modifying the noun "citizen" like so: Law-Abiding Citizen. But when William Goss pointed out that, perhaps, the title's lack of a hyphen is intentional, my brain unfurled and drank in this radically tasty nectar. As Goss explained to me, it's not the citizen who is abiding the law, instead, it's the law that's abiding the citizen. And it's in this simple, innocuous distinction that the seed of my fondness for F. Gary Gray's film was planted.

Watch This: Official US Trailer for Almodóvar's Broken Embraces

By Alex Billington

Sony Pictures Classics has debuted the US trailer for Pedro Almodóvar's Broken Embraces starring the gorgeous Penélope Cruz. This already premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and was released in Spain back in March and is just now being brought to US theaters. If you're a fan of Almodóvar, you'll probably already planning on seeing this, as it lives up to most of his past films. If you're not a fan of Almodóvar and are just interested in checking out a beautifully colored (a Pedro trademark) romantic romp through Spain, then check this out. I wasn't the biggest fan of the film, but then again I'm not that familiar with Almodóvar.

Will Ferrell Cast in Dan Rush's Indie 'Everything Must Go'

By Alex Billington

Finally, a Will Ferrell movie I'm actually excited about again! Variety says Ferrell has been cast in a $10 million independently financed comedy called Everything Must Go. The project will be the directional debut of commercials director Dan Rush, who also wrote the script based on a Raymond Carver short story. Ferrell will play a guy who loses his job and gets locked out of his house by his wife. She puts all of his belongings on the front lawn, and he spends the next four days trying to sell off his possessions, hence "Everything Must Go." Sounds like it'll be a good, funny story. And I'm glad it's not a studio production.

Chris Messina Cast in M. Night Shyamalan Produced 'Devil'

By Alex Billington

Finally Chris Messina gets cast in a lead role! Unfortunately it's for a horror movie and I'm not sure it'll end up being that big. Messina is set to star in Devil, a horror-thriller based on an M. Night Shyamalan story that's being directed by John Erick and Drew Dowdle of The Poughkeepsie Tapes and Quarantine. Devil is the first film in the Night Chronicles series, a trio of thrillers in which Shyamalan will create the premise then pass the idea off to other filmmakers to be developed into a feature. The script was written by Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night writer Brian Nelson. Production begins in Toronto later this month.

Brandon's Word: Where the Wild Things Are is a Profound Adventure

By Brandon Lee Tenney

This film, Where the Wild Things Are, directed and co-written by auteur Spike Jonze, based on the seminal children's book authored by Maurice Sendak, is not for you. Rather, its very existence and purpose is meant not for you as you are now, today. Its themes and breathtaking visuals and deep, inky explorations aren't for you, the twenty/thirty/forty-year-old. Where the Wild Things Are is, instead, for the angst-filled, confused, whimsical nine/ten/eleven/twelve-year-old inside us all. For the part of us that feels directionless. For the part of us that is without. That's yearning, learning. That's wayward and possibly even hopeless.

Adrienne Shelly's Serious Moonlight Trailer with Meg Ryan

By Alex Billington

Magnolia Pictures has debuted the official trailer for Serious Moonlight, the last screenplay written by the late Adrienne Shelly (Sudden Manhattan, Waitress) directed by her friend and actress Cheryl Hines. This comedy stars Meg Ryan, Timothy Hutton, Kristen Bell, and Justin Long, all of whom are playing roles which they don't seem to fit (where was the casting director on this?). I wanted to give this a chance, but sadly, it just looks bad, bad, bad. And I'm guessing that has to do more with Cheryl Hines' directing than it does Adrienne Shelly's script. And also no one likes Meg Ryan anymore and she isn't funny in this at all.

Uma Thurman Down for More Kill Bill, Says Ideas Are 'Awesome'

By Alex Billington

Earlier this month, Quentin Tarantino started proclaiming (once again) that we would be seeing a Kill Bill Vol. 3, this time hinting that it might actually be coming sometime soon (rather than in the distant future). Obviously with Tarantino, we usually can't trust him, but he's probably riding high on the success of Inglourious Basterds, which has gone on to become the highest grossing Tarantino film to date. "The Bride will fight again," he quipped on an Italian talk show a few weeks back. But will she actually fight again? MTV talked with Beatrix Kiddo herself, Uma Thurman, and confirmed that she's definitely down for more.

Terrence Malick's Tree of Life Not Hitting Theaters Until 2010

By Alex Billington

Not that big of a surprise. As we know, Terrence Malick is notorious for taking forever to edit his movies. However, earlier this year there were some rumblings that his latest film, The Tree of Life, might just be ready by the end of this year. Back in August, newly creation distributor Apparition announced that they would be releasing Malick's Tree of Life and that tentatively it had been set for release around Christmas. Apparently that release spot was actually taken by Terry Gilliam's Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, as Anne Thompson confirms today with Apparition's Bob Berney that Tree of Life won't be out until 2010.
