First Look: Adrien Brody & Forest Whitaker in The Experiment

The Experiment First Look

Haven't heard of The Experiment? Don't worry, there are always plenty of great indies you've never heard of! Our friends at Bloody-Disgusting got their hands on a few new photos from The Experiment at AFM. The film, which is a remake of Oliver Hirschbiegel's Das Experiment, is about a group of ordinary people who are chosen to participate in the roles of guards and prisoners in a psychological study that examines how the effects of assigned roles, power, and control affect the participants. Obviously it spins out of control. Adrien Brody, Forest Whitaker, Elijah Wood, Cam Gigandet, Clifton Collins Jr. and Maggie Grace all star in this.

First Look: Christopher Lee & Jeffrey Dean Morgan in The Resident

The Resident

Now these are some photos you need to check out. The Resident is the first Hammer Film in over 30 years. They're the same production company responsible for a lot of the old classic horror films from the 60s and 70s that starred Christopher Lee. And remarkably enough, Hammer has brought back Sir Lee for this film - you can see him below thanks to ShockTillYouDrop. Speaking of that, CNN published a great retrospective on Christopher Lee for Halloween - read it here. In addition to Lee, The Resident stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Hilary Swank, and Lee Pace, and will hit theaters in 2010. I know you're curious, so check these photos out.

First Look: Ray Winstone in Ian Sharp's New Zealand Film 'Tracker'

Ray Winstone in Tracker

Earlier this year I featured a few trailers for the film Van Diemen's Land about convicts on the run in the Australian wilderness in the early 1800's. Empire has premiered a few new photos for a different film called Tracker that's set in the New Zealand wilderness around the turn of the 20th century. Not the same, but similar ideas. Tracker stars Ray Winstone and Temuera Morrison (who played Jango Fett in the Star Wars pequels). Winstone is chasing Morrison in a "cat and mouse pursuit through the varied landscape of New Zealand." These aren't action photos, only character shots, to give you an idea of what the two look like.

First Official High Res Look at Joe Carnahan's The A-Team

The A-Team

Man this photo is contrasty! A few weeks back we brought you the very first spy shot of the four members of The A-Team shooting in in Canada (and the first photo of the van roaming around as well). Now we have the actual first official photo from Fox for Joe Carnahan's The A-Team for your viewing pleasure. It was sent over to us by the SalonDelMal blog, but it's popping up everywhere, so I'm sure you find it anywhere. I've gotta say, from the looks of it, they really did choose a perfect cast for this. They all look badass and they're all pretty damn talented too (except Quinton Jackson?). Anyway, take a look at the big full photo below!

First Photos & Poster from John Lennon Biopic Nowhere Boy

Nowhere Boy

Nowhere Boy is a film that I've actually been looking forward to for quite a while. It may be because I love The Beatles or it may be because I'm actually excited to see a good musician biopic about a band I like. We covered the casting late last year and now the film is premiering at the London Film Festival this week. As part of that premiere, the first shots of Aaron Johnson as John Lennon as well as the official poster (or at least the official festival poster) have popped up online courtesy of The Playlist and Zimbio. Not only do the photos look great, but I really love the design of this poster. If only I could catch the premiere in London.

First Photos of Amber Heard in John Carpenter's The Ward

John Carpenter's The Ward

After roughly eight years, John Carpenter is finally back to directing once again. His newest film, The Ward, stars Amber Heard, Danielle Panabaker, Lyndsy Fonseca, and a few other young actresses, and is a psychological thriller set in a mental institution. Over on the production website (via Dread Central), a few new photos and a bit of early artwork for The Ward have popped up. Considering we've seen nothing from this yet and it is John Carpenter's long-awaited return to directing, I thought I'd feature these photos, which actually look pretty cool. The ghost looks damn creepy, too. They're not much, but still take a look below.

First Real Photo from Darren Bousman's Mother's Day Remake

Mother's Day

Saw II & III director Darren Bousman's remake of Mother's Day has been rushed into production fairly quickly. It was only five months ago that we first learned it was even happening and now Bousman is already shooting this up in Canada. Darren just posted the first official photo from the remake on his Twitter today. It's not a behind-the-scenes shot but rather an actual photo showing Patrick Flueger (I think?) wrestling with what looks to be Jaime King. Either way it's a pretty dynamic first look at the movie, although it doesn't show much (in terms of story). Bousman also debuted a behind-the-scenes first look on IGN today as well.

Check These Out: On Set Photos from the Red Dawn Remake

Red Dawn Remake Set Photos

Be disturbed at not understanding. That's one of the phrases the Chinese are using to convince us that we weren't really free when we were run by a Democratic government before they invaded. A new blog called RedDawn2010.com has been following the Red Dawn remake very closely, which includes posting new photos from the set in Pontiac, MI (doubling as Spokane) as often as they can. In one of their galleries they have a few great photos of the set dressing in the small town where the film takes place. It shows all of the Chinese propaganda that was put up in the town as part of their invasion. Anyway, check out these photos!

First Look: Liam Neeson as Zeus in Clash of the Titans & More

Liam Neeson in Clash of the Titans

A lot of new photos from Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans seem to be hitting this weekend. A few days ago we wrote about Empire's new cover photo with Sam Worthington as Perseus. Earlier today, Empire released another batch of high res photos featuring Worthington and some odd mythological creatures (who the heck is that big guy standing next to him?). Additionally, Entertainment Weekly debuted more photos, including our first photo of Liam Neeson as Zeus standing in his fortress up on Mt. Olympus (which looks much like the original). Anyway, check out these photos and stay tuned for a trailer soon (or so we hope).

First Look: Joe Carnahan's The A-Team Actors in Action

The A-Team First Look

A few weeks back we featured the first photo of the infamous van from The A-Team. Now we finally have a photo showing all four lead actors that are part of the "team" shooting up in Vancouver. ComingSoon has the photo and it's not the greatest quality, but for some reason I'm just excited seeing this. From left to right there is: Quinton "Rampage" Jackson looking a bit upset, Liam Neeson with some short grey hair, Sharlto Copley looking pretty much the same, and Bradley Cooper looking a little more sleek. As I already said, it's just exciting (for me at least) to see the four of these guys standing together. Can't wait for more photos!

First Look: Explosions & Green Hornet Costume On Set - Updated!

The Green Hornet

This new video from Splash News isn't that impressive, but it features our first look at Seth Rogen as Britt Reid, aka The Green Hornet, on the set of his new movie The Green Hornet. That first look at his costume pops up right around 32 seconds into the video, but besides that, this features a whole lot of explosions and action scenes that would give Michael Bay a hard on. And if I have to make a statement, I like the look, I think it's a fitting contemporary version of the Green Hornet costume worn by Van Williams back in the 60's. I'm digging the vest. Come on, did anyone think Michel Gondry wouldn't have great costume design?!

First Look: Mel Gibson as Walter in Jodie Foster's The Beaver

Mel Gibson in The Beaver

No, this is not a joke. Mel Gibson isn't filming another "The Colonel" prank. This is an actual, real movie being shot where Mel Gibson stars as a man who runs around (both literally and figuratively) with a beaver puppet on his hand that he treats like a live animal and his friend. Kind of like Lars and the Real Girl except with a beaver puppet instead of a sex doll. It's called The Beaver and it's being directed by Jodie Foster as well. These photos come from Splash News where they got a few shots of Gibson shooting on set in New York. I didn't realize the beaver would look so goofy, but alas, that's all part of the fun. This looks hilarious.

First Look: Will Ferrell & Mark Wahlberg in The Other Guys

The Other Guys First Look

Usually when we get the first set photos from a forthcoming film they're straight from a cell phone camera or clearly snapped at just the right moment where you can see just a bit of the lead actors faces. But some of these first shots (thanks to the awkwardly named blog Accidental Sexiness via Collider) from the NYC set of Adam McKay's cop comedy The Other Guys look like approved studio publicity shots. We get our first look at Ferrell (apparently the clean-cut type) and Wahlberg (the gritty cop) as well as Damon Wayans Jr. and Rob Riggle doing what he does best: yelling. Anyway, read on below for a look at some of the best shots.

First Look: Promo Art for Nick Frost & Simon Pegg's Paul

Paul Promo Art

This bit of art, on display in the backlot at Universal Studios, first showed up on Twitter a few weeks back. I'm not sure why Universal has decided to put this up on display as part of the backlot studio tour, and not online for everyone to see, but that's Universal for you. Anyway, Collider now has a bigger, cleaner, high res shot of the first promo art for Nick Frost and Simon Pegg's new movie Paul directed by Greg Mottola, that's being shot as we speak. It doesn't show us what the alien looks like but it's a pretty good promo photo and it sets the mood for what's to come. If you don't know what Paul is yet, well, then you're not a rightful geek.

First Photos and Behind-the-Scenes Videos from The Fighter

Mark Wahlberg in The Fighter

Well this was unexpected. SlashFilm has discovered a big batch of behind-the-scenes photos and videos on IAmRogue.com for David O. Russell's film The Fighter starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale. We've written about this project quite a time, mainly when it was to be directed by Darren Aronofsky a few years back, but now Russell has taken over and actually started shooting. Wahlberg and Bale can be seen in a few photos from the set, including the one above and the one at the very bottom (in the boxing ring), and more on the site. There's also a great on-set video below with Wahlberg talking about playing boxer Mickey Ward.
