See Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning as The Runaways
Just because it's a holiday weekend and there's nothing else worth sharing besides these. Just Jared has put up a batch of new photos featuring young actresses Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning in their retro 70's outfits for the currently shooting film The Runaways. We ran another photo back in June of Stewart with her jet black mullet as rocker Joan Jett. This is, however, the first time we get to see the 15-year-old Dakota Fanning looking much older than she should as Runaways lead singer Cherie Currie. This little film is obviously gaining a lot of early buzz as photos like this are showing up in gossip mags all over. Check it!
First Look: Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried in Jennifer's Body
"It's sick, offensive comedy - and I love it," says Megan Fox. The very last time we wrote about Jennifer's Body, the horror comedy starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, was a year ago during Comic-Con when the first teaser poster (seen above) came out. Yep, it's literally been almost a year since that poster debuted, and we're just now getting to see the first official photos. I don't think I need to say anything else besides that you'll get to see Megan Fox in a cheerleader uniform below courtesy of the latest Empire (via Film School Rejects). Hopefully this means we'll finally get to see a trailer soon? Check these photos out!
New CinExpo Posters: Up in the Air, Iron Man 2, and More!
Cinema Expo International is currently being held in Amsterdam as we speak, and not only was there a presentation for James Cameron's Avatar including the first ever footage shown to public, but a few new posters have popped up online from the showfloor. CinExpo is the European equivalent of ShoWest (which we cover every year). It's an industry event which means it's not meant for the public, but photos like this always leak out anyway. Film1.nl has our first look at posters for Jason Reitman's Up in the Air, M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender, Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island, and Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2.
First Look: Tweedledee and Tweedledum in Alice in Wonderland
Although earlier this morning we got our first official glimpses at Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen, and Anne Hathaway as The White Queen from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, there were quite a few characters missing, most notably Alan Rickman as The Caterpillar, Stephen Fry as The Cheshire Cat, and the two brothers Matt Lucas plays - Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Luckily, Movies.ie (via SlashFilm) has scored an extra promo banner for Wonderland that features both Tweedledee and Tweedledum. If you thought those other photos looked weird, just wait until you see this.
First Look: Tim Burton's Trippy New Alice in Wonderland
We've seen glimpse of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland previously, but USA Today now has our official first look. And it's definitely not what we were expecting to see, that's for sure! Not only do they have three new gorgeous new concept art photos, but they reveal our first looks at Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen, and Anne Hathaway as The White Queen. "It has been Burton-ized" is how producer Richard Zanuck describes the director's vision of the Lewis Carroll classic. After shooting for only 40 days, they're working on adding CG animation and motion-capture creatures.
First Look: Monica Bellucci in Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice
I really hate paparazzi photos. They're always completely out of context, we never know if this is how it'll look finished, what they're even doing, or how far into the movie the scene being shot occurs. And as much as I know it's rarely helpful for a film, sometimes we just can't help ourselves, like today. Just Jared posted a few photos of Italian actress Monica Bellucci on the set of Disney's upcoming movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice that also stars Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel. There have been a lot of paparazzi shots from this floating around because its been shooting in New York City, but I wanted to feature these shots today.
First Look: Gemma Arterton as Io in Clash of the Titans
From a Bond girl to a princess (Prince of Persia) and now to a goddess. The first photo of British actress Gemma Arterton is costume on the set of Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans has been revealed over at Gemma Arterton Online. Unlike the last two photos we posted, this one is not official, it's another shot from the set, but it looks great anyway. Her character, named Io, wasn't actually in the original movie. In this remake, she is Perseus' love interest, but besides that we don't know much about her. Even if there's not much to see, it's at least a beautiful photo. Leterrier really found some amazing locations to this shoot at.
New Scott Pilgrim Photos: Ramona, Stacey, and Kim Pine
There's no better way to kick off this week with some new photos of three lovely ladies, right? Edgar Wright has been keeping up quite consistently with his daily photo blog updates on EdgarWrightHere.com. From the latest batch of behind-the-scenes Scott Pilgrim vs. the World photos comes our first good look at Alison Pill as drummer Kim Pine (seen above). And although we've seen a whole lot of photos from this, we also finally get our first good look at Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Scott's love interest Ramona V. Flowers along with Anna Kendrick as Scott's sister Stacey Pilgrim. You can check out the second new photo below.
First Photo from Michael Moore's Wall Street Documentary
Get ready for more controversy - Michael Moore is back. And he may be pulling a Cloverfield! Not only is there a new photo from his new documentary courtesy of USA Today, but we've confirmed that the trailer will be in theaters tomorrow. Here's the most interesting bit - the movie remains untitled. Apparently the trailer even lacks a title as well (it says something like "Michael Moore's New Movie Coming Soon"), similar to the first Cloverfield teaser trailer. Except his monster isn't destroying Wall Street - it literally is Wall Street. "The movie is not going to be an economics lesson; it's going to be more like a vampire movie."
First Look: Eisenberg, Harrelson, and Breslin in Zombieland!
The first few photos from Ruben Fleischer's Zombieland have finally made their online debut courtesy of Ain't It Cool News. This is the upcoming zombie comedy that stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Amber Heard, and Abigail Breslin. It's about, well, just finding a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. I expect we'll see a trailer either tomorrow or sometime next week, so stay tuned for that. A few months ago, we sent Kevin Powers out to the set of Zombieland in Georgia. He has a forthcoming report on his whole experience that will probably be up in early July. In the meantime, check these out.
Kristen Stewart's New Look as Joan Jett for The Runaways
This isn't an official photo, and we're trying to stay away from the gossip, but a paparazzi shot of Kristen Stewart sporting a jet black mullet hairdo for The Runaways has made its way online at Jezebel (via SlashFilm). Stewart plays singer and guitarist Joan Jett of the 1970s all-girl rockband band The Runaways. The biopic is being written and directed by Italian music video director Floria Sigismondi. I don't think anyone doubted that Stewart would be able to pull off the look, but it's great to see her looking nothing like Twilight's Bella at all. That photo above is of the real band, you can see the photo of Kristen Stewart below.
Gorgeous Character Photos from The Princess and the Frog
Disney has debuted five new gorgeous photos from The Princess and the Frog today, their return to hand-drawn animation due out in theaters later this year. The teaser trailer for this has been playing in theaters in front of Pixar's Up, so everyone has finally been introduced to the movie and knows what it's all about, to a certain degree. That teaser does a great job of introducing the concept, but doesn't show much of the supporting characters, like Louis the jazz singing alligator, or Ray the firefly (seen in the corner of the very first photo below). Anyway, take a closer look at all of these beautiful photos below, in high res, too.
First Look: Mickey Rourke as Whiplash in Iron Man 2!
Whoa! Jon Favreau is definitely on top of all the buzz. People have been asking to see Mickey Rourke as Whiplash since he's been talking about him kicking so much ass on Twitter. And now we have our first look courtesy of USA Today! Rourke stars as Ivan Vanko aka the villain Whiplash in Iron Man 2. His "outfit" consists of a power pack on his chest that looks similar to the one used by Tony Stark. "The technologies are definitely related, and that's part of the core theme of the film," explains director Jon Favreau. This is probably not what you're expecting to see (I wasn't), but it's awesome to see Rourke suited up nonetheless.
First Look: Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela in Invictus
Ask and you shall receive. When I wrote about the new title and release date for Clint Eastwood's Invictus earlier in the week, I mentioned that "we haven't seen what Morgan Freeman looks like as Mandela yet." That all changes today, as a few new photos have popped up online (via Rope of Silicon) of Freeman on set. The reader says he got a bit role as a World Cup Official and "ended up on the podium next to 'Mandela'", where he was able to snap some cell phone photos, including a shot of Matt Damon as rugby player Francois Pienaar. It's really not the best photo, but it still is our very first look at Freeman as Nelson Mandela.
First Look: James Franco as Allen Ginsberg in Howl
We've heard a little bit about Howl, the film about the 1957 obscenity trial Allen Ginsberg faced after the publication of his poem, but this is our first look at anyone in it. James Franco stars as the poet Allen Ginsberg alongside of Mary-Louise Parker as Gail Potter, Jeff Daniels as Professor David Kirk, and David Strathairn as Ralph McIntosh. Seen below, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, is our very first look at Franco along with co-star Aaron Tveit as his friend Peter Orlovsky. Howl is written and directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman and was executive producer by Gus Van Sant. Check out the photo below.
Another New Clash of the Titans First Look Photo Revealed
A couple of days ago we posted the very first photo of Sam Worthington as Perseus in Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans remake. It wasn't the best photo, as it came scanned from the latest issue of Empire. But now we have a clean, official photo from the movie thanks to Entertainment Weekly. They just published a new article that includes some 63 new sneak peek photos for their latest issue and Clash of the Titans is one of them. This photo is a bit cleaner, not as gritty, but still badass looking, and for one of our very first photos from the remake (which is still shooting as we speak), I'm quite satisfied. See it below!
Tracy Morgan Gets Chased in Kevin Smith's Couple of Dicks
It really can't get any better than this! So here's the crazy setup for the photo below. In a scene from Kevin Smith's new comedy A Couple of Dicks, which is currently shooting in New York, Tracy Morgan, who plays a cop, gets chased down by a pit bull while wearing a cell phone costume while riding a giant tricycle. I can't believe this photo is real and it's actually a scene being shot for Kevin Smith's movie. This is one of those photos you usually see on CollegeHumor.com, not in a movie. Based off of this alone, I'm already sold on the movie! I just love the look on Morgan's face, like his life depends on how fast he can peddle away.
First Look: Josh Brolin as the Disfigured Bounty Hunter Jonah Hex
Finally! After seeing photos of Megan Fox in Jonah Hex, we finally have our first look at Josh Brolin as the title character and our anti-hero, Jonah Hex. The buzz for this movie first began last year when Thomas Jane donned some make-up to shoot a few promo shots of himself as Jonah Hex in order to impress the filmmakers. Alas, he did't get the job, Brolin did instead, but it was that photo that kicked off everyone's interest in seeing Jonah Hex come to life on the big screen. Now we get to see what Brolin looks like with the disfigured face and it's a pretty fitting look for the actor. Maybe Brolin was the better choice after all?
First Look: DreamWorks Animation's Oobermind Movie Revealed
Yesterday we featured the first teaser poster for Scott Pilgrim and some new Marvel logos that were found on display on the show floor at the Licensing International Expo. Well, another sneaky photographer in Las Vegas sent over some new shots to Ain't It Cool News, this time looking at some DreamWorks Animation properties. The one we care about the most, or are excited to finally see something from, is Oobermind. Last week DreamWorks announced their slate through 2012 and lined-up for November, 2010 was this feature. It used to be called Master Mind, but they changed the title recently. Anyway, take a look below.
First Scott Pilgrim Poster and New Marvel Logos Revealed
This isn't exactly what you're thinking, but all of this is official. The Licensing International Expo is currently underway in Las Vegas this week and that means we've go some new logos to check out courtesy of Ain't It Cool News. Marvel has a booth at the convention and is showing off their logos for their four upcoming movies: Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers. And Universal is showing off a giant 20-foot tall poster for their Scott Pilgrim vs. the World movie that's in production right now. If you're a fan of any of the comics mentioned, then these logos should be pretty awesome to see anyway.
