First Look: Promo Art from Alexandre Aja's 'Cobra: The Space Pirate'

I always love seeing this stuff, because it's really just early sales art to create some buzz. ComingSoon has posted a photo of a cover containing some promo art for Cobra: The Space Pirate, the new film from director Alexandre Aja (High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, Mirrors, Piranha 3D). It's an adaptation of a Japanese manga about a rogue space pirate who teams up with a bounty hunter on an adventure to Mars in search of lost treasure. The pirate, who isn't even cast yet (as far as we know), has "surgically altered his face and erased his memory to hide from enemies," but regains those memories to find the treasure. Sounds fun.

Hollywood Remake of 'The Troll Hunter' Still in the Works at Universal

By Alex Billington

There's a film this summer that I'm very excited to see released as it kicks ass - Troll Hunter! Just last week we debuted the official US trailer for the Norwegian film about a group of students who follow a troll hunter around as he hunts and kills trolls in the forests of Norway. The remake rights were snagged last year by Universal before many had even seen this, but with no update since, some began to think it wasn't happening anymore. That's not really the case, as JoBlo (via Twitch) posted a few new quotes today from Troll Hunter director André Øvredal confirming it is in the works, just still being negotiated. Read on!

Robert Zemeckis Also Involved with the Time Travel Project 'Replay'

By Alex Billington

Ever since Disney shut down ImageMovers, director Robert Zemeckis has been dabbling with returning to live-action. Unfortunately, he's just been nibbling at a bunch of projects, including one called Timeless, and another called Flight just last week. Well, Vulture reports there's another new project to add to his list, this one called Replay. It's an adaptation of a 1987 novel by Ken Grimwood about a radio journalist who dies in 1988, but wakes up in 1963, in his 18-year-old body, with all of his memories intact. They say that Zemeckis is "in serious talks with Warner Bros" to direct. I just want to see him commit and start filming!

Anthony Mackie Looking at Roles in 'World War Z' & 'Gangster Squad'

By Alex Billington

As we've been saying for a while, actor Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker, Night Catches Us, The Adjustment Bureau) is on the verge of breaking out and just needs some strong roles. That may be Real Steel but just in case, he's started lining up plenty of other projects to follow that, including Ten Year, Man on a Ledge and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Variety is reporting that Mackie has been offered a role in World War Z, the upcoming adaptation with Marc Forster directing; he's also apparently being "eyed for a role" in Gangster Squad, the crime action-thriller being directed by Ruben Fleischer at Warner Bros.

Watch: First Trailer for Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway's 'One Day'

By Alex Billington

"You mustn't let time slip away..." Focus Features has unveiled a trailer for Lone Scherfig's One Day, the upcoming summer romantic drama starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. The trailer is out on Yahoo (via SlashFilm) and I'm not sure it's an official US trailer, but it is a real trailer nonetheless, and for those who've been waiting to see this trailer, here you go. Sadly, I think it's a cheesy trailer that way overplays the sappiness. I know the movie is better than this, just give it a chance, it looks like it's full of the same heart and filmmaking prowess that Scherfig showed with An Education. Catch this new trailer below!

First Theatrical Poster for 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' Unveiled

By Ethan Anderton

Just yesterday we got a really good look at this summer's explosive sequel Transformers: Dark of the Moon by way of a pretty impressive full length trailer. And with all that excitement, Paramount Pictures is looking to keep the hype machine rolling with this new theatrical poster for the anticipated blockbuster sequel. As usual, the poster features a great hero shot of Optimus Prime along with his human companion Shia LaBeouf. There's even room for Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to appear on her first franchise poster. It's not terrible, but Photoshop jobs like this make me long for Drew Struzan's posters again.

Steven Soderbergh to Direct Channing Tatum in Male Stripper Story

By Ethan Anderton

Though we've heard that director Steven Soderbergh would be retiring following his work on the forthcoming Liberace biopic with Matt Damon and Michael Douglas and a big screen adaptation of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. with George Clooney attached, it sounds like we might get one more film from him after all. Deadline has learned that Soderbergh has just committed to direct Channing Tatum in a film called Magic Mike, the story of a friendship that blossoms in the world of male strippers (calm down, ladies). Tatum will play the lead, titular character who shows a young dancer the ropes on/off the stage. Read on!

Check This Out: Sultry Poster for Cannes Selected 'Sleeping Beauty'

By Ethan Anderton

We've already seen quite a beautiful and even eerie trailer for Sleeping Beauty, the directorial debut of author Julia Leigh, and next month our own Alex Billington should be seeing the film as part of the 64th Cannes Film Festival. Now we have a look at a simple, but sultry poster for the film starring Emily Browning as a high end prostitute. Though there's no real nudity in the poster (which The Playlist discovered at Recent Movie Posters), it's a bit provocative of a snapshot showing some skin so be careful where you're viewing it. The trailer has me intrigued so I can't wait to hear the buzz in Cannes next month.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Also Looks to Take on Drama in 'Cry Macho'

By Ethan Anderton

His return to acting already includes an animated superhero known as The Governator, a role in Jee-Woon Kim's next film, and a return to his most iconic role as The Terminator for Fast Five director Justin Lin. Well, how about we throw another project onto the rapidly growing slate of Arnold Schwarzenegger, but this time it's a drama. Vulture reports the action icon will take a role in a drama called Cry Macho from director Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer) and Al Ruddy, producer of such acclaimed dramas as Million Dollar Baby and The Godfather. In fact, it sounds like Cry Macho might be his first real returning to acting.

Dwayne Johnson Producing and Starring in Biopic on Charley Pride?

By Ethan Anderton

Earlier this week, we learned that Fast Five star Paul Walker would produce and star in an indie thriller called Vehicle 19. Now another cast member from the franchise sequel is also producing and starring in another lower profile project of his own. The Telegraph-Journal (via The Playlist) has learned that Dwayne Johnson has been lined up to produce and star in a biopic about African-American country music singer Charley Pride whose career blossomed in the 1970's. Apparently the project was previously being developed with Terrence Howard starring and Hustle & Flow director Craig Brewer, but not anymore.

Review: 'Fast Five' is a Furious Start to the Summer's Entertainment

By Jeremy Kirk

Let's just get the engines started. Fast Five is the best film of the Fast and the Furious series. That's actually saying something when you consider the history of fifth installments in established franchises. I'm not going to go through a list, good or bad, but outside of Empire Strikes Back - yes, I know it was really the second Star Wars movie, but I'm making a point here - and Order of the Phoenix, film series have usually gone to scraping the creative barrel by the time the fifth movie comes along. Not so with Fast Five, a non-stop fusion of quick chases, splashy characters, and cracking action set pieces that officially stamps the

DreamWorks & Warner Bros Unite for Martin Luther King Jr. Movie

By Ethan Anderton

Almost a year ago we heard about DreamWorks developing a biopic on famous civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. However, since then there hasn't been much progress at least that we've known about. Meanwhile, Warner Bros was also quietly developing their own film about the historical figure. Now THR reports the two studios will join forces to work on one singular film about King. Apparently WB had been working on their project for years and writer Kario Salem (The Score) had been researching and writing the script for nearly four years. Now he's also being brought on board for this project between the two studios.
