After working together on the romantic thriller The Constant Gardener, director Fernando Meirelles and actress Rachel Weisz will work together once again as Variety reports that the two will collaborate on 360, a drama from writer Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen).

Characters across all levels of society are featured to illustrate how sexual contact transgresses boundaries o class.

Kim Ji-Woon Making US Debut with Action Movie 'Last Stand'

By Alex Billington

Even though we already thought South Korean filmmaker Kim Ji-Woon was planning his first US-set film with high profiles actors like Clive Owen and Sienna Miller (reported last year), apparently that won't be his first US feature after all. Latino Review is reporting that Lionsgate has hired Ji-Woon (of A Bittersweet Life, The Good, The Bad, The Weird and I Saw the Devil) to direct a project called The Last Stand. The script was featured on last year's screenplay Blacklist and is apparently an action thriller about a drug cartel with shades of Gone in 60 Seconds and High Noon. This could be a fairly awesome Hollywood debut for Ji-Woon.

Check This Out: Great 'Jackboots on Whitehall' UK Quad Poster

By Alex Billington

So, I know not many people really liked the official trailer for Jackboots on Whitehall, the wacky puppet alternate-history WWII movie, but I think this poster is pretty damn cool and I wanted to feature it anyway (why the heck not?). Empire has debuted the official UK quad poster for the McHenry Brothers' Jackboots on Whitehall which features a cigar-chompin' Churchill (voiced by Timothy Spall) with a rifle. It has a kind of old school propaganda feeling (take that you Nazi scum!), mixed with funky puppets, and I really like the design. Although I'm still hesitant about the film itself, it's a very good poster, so check it out full-size below.

Gavin Hood Now Working on Ender's Game and Might Direct?

By Alex Billington

This could be good news or bad - depends on how much you like Gavin Hood. Even though we reported in January of last year that an adaptation of Orson Scott Card's sci-fi book Ender's Game had been scrapped, apparently the project is live and well. The LA Times' 24 Frames is reporting that Tsotsi and X-Men Origins: Wolverine director Gavin Hood has taken over development on the film and is currently rewriting the script in hopes of eventually directing the adaptation. But of course, this is still in the early stages and it's going to be an uphill battle for them to actually get a greenlight, especially with Card being picky about the director.

Rumor: Spielberg Again Considers Directing 'Robopocalypse'

By Ethan Anderton

Earlier this year when it was still anyone's guess as to what project Steven Spielberg would bless with his directorial skills, there was a rumor floating around that he was seriously considering Robopocalypse, the story about the human race's attempt to survive an apocalyptic robot uprising. Though Spielberg is currently busy shooting the project he ended up choosing instead, an adaptation of the novel War Horse, the folks at Vulture say there's a chance the movie could end up in Spielberg's lap again. However, don't get too excited, because like their source says, "With DreamWorks, everything is potentially a Steven project until it’s not."

Clint Mansell is Scoring Duncan Jones' New Film 'Source Code'

By Alex Billington

Finally, some fantastic news to report today! British director Duncan Jones, who broke out onto the geek scene last year with his brilliant sci-fi flick Moon, is currently finishing his second feature - Source Code. It's a sci-fi thriller with a time travel-esque twist (I've read the script - it's great) and stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan and Vera Farmiga. A very crap quality early photo hit the web a few weeks ago but we haven't heard much else about it. However, Jones just tweeted today that composer Clint Mansell (of Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain) will be collaborating with Jones again after Moon to score this film.

Check These Out: Photos from Fantastic Fest's 'Buried' Stunt!

By Alex Billington

Another post about Buried? Yes, but Lionsgate is really kicking up their marketing in these last few weeks before its opening and there is some cool stuff that I need to feature. A few weeks ago, we talked about an event/stunt that the Alamo Drafthouse was planning for Fantastic Fest called "Buried with Buried" where four fans would be buried alive in coffins and shown the movie while buried. The event took place over the weekend and we were just sent two photos of the setup and it looks badass. This is awesome, I'm a bit sad I didn't get chosen, as I would've loved to participate in this. Talk about an unforgettable way to see a movie!

Two Rad Teaser Posters for Nacho Vigalondo's 'Extraterrestre'

By Alex Billington

You don't know Nacho Vigalondo? Get out of town! Vigalondo is a brilliant, hilarious & talented Spanish filmmaker who received an Oscar nom for his short 7:35 in the Morning. His first feature was the low key time travel cult classic Timecrimes (which if you haven't seen, you need to right away) and although he's got all kinds of different projects on the horizon, his next feature is a sci-fi film called Extraterrestre, which is Spanish for (you guessed it) Extraterrestrial. Two new teaser posters showed up on his official website (via SlashFilm) and they give us an idea of the mood and a small tease of what to expect and I already can't wait.

Paul Thomas Anderson's 'The Master' is 'Delayed Indefinitely'

By Alex Billington

Aw, now this sucks. I wasn't hoping we'd ever have to report news like this, but alas we have to. The Playlist is reporting, from a few quotes (including one of their own) that Paul Thomas Anderson's new project titled The Master, the religious drama set to star Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jeremy Renner, has been "delayed indefinitely." That quote came from Renner in the latest print issue of TotalFilm, where he added: "I was really bummed about that. It really kind of stalled because when we were rehearsing — Phil, Paul and myself — we kept coming up against a wall that we couldn't overcome. Or at least Paul couldn't overcome."

Rodrigo Cortés Delivers a Box Full of Suspense with 'Buried'

By Ethan Anderton

The frustration of bullshit bureaucracy has slowly taken over quality customer service and logical assistance from the corporations and organizations that provide our most basic services. It's hard to believe, but in Rodrigo Cortés' Buried the familiar long-winded customer service call is a matter of life or death for Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds), a truck driver for military supplies in Iraq who has woken up to find himself buried alive with only a cell phone, a Zippo lighter, glowsticks, a shitty flashlight and all odds against him. As I found myself inside the wooden coffin from a theater in downtown Chicago, I was on the edge of my seat until the very end. Read on!

Watch: New Epic Teaser/Trailer for Space Battleship Yamato

By Alex Billington

Love Lives! Uh, is that Aerosmith's Steven Tyler singing the Space Battleship Yamato theme? Why yes it is! Our friends at Vlicious recently found this new video featuring a combo teaser (35 seconds long) and new trailer (100 seconds long) for the hugely epic Japanese live-action adaptation of the anime Space Battleship Yamato. We already featured another early trailer for this back in June, but this one has tons of insane new footage in it. I don't know if there's any real narrative to the footage, as if they just threw every visual effects shot that is finished into a blender and this is what we get. But I still want to see it, I totally love space epics!
