It was an excellent night in London’s Covent Garden for the 65th annual BAFTA award as Golden heads were handed out, The Artist ran quiet riot over everyone and took home the most awards while Colin Firth got down on one knee for Meryl Streep causing the hearts of the nation to flutter, and for the most part British film was celebrated in fine style.

None more stylish than a certain Miss Piggy who was installed by Orange at the head of the red carpet of the Royal Opera House to greet the guests as they arrived and there’s nothing more likely to raise a smile than a Muppet in a frock.

Here are her edited highlights from last night, with a special moment with Tom Hiddleston and a slightly terrified Daniel Radcliffe amongst others. If this doesn’t get The Muppets a presenting gig next year then nothing will.

Last week, we debuted a couple of new images from new movie, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and now, Time (with a nod to our pals at BleedingCool) have released the first trailer for the movie. The film is directed by Timur Bekmambetov and stars Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Benjamin Walker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jimmi Simpson, Alan Tudyk, and Rufus Sewell. It’s produced by Tim Burton so that will also give you an idea of what you might be able to expect. The screenplay comes from Seth Grahame-Smith and the movie is based on his novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter explores the secret life of our greatest President, and the untold story that shaped our nation. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (director of Wanted) bring a fresh and visceral voice to the blood-thirsty lore of the vampire, imagining Lincoln as history’s greatest hunter of the undead.

Have a watch of the dark but brilliant trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments section. We’re loving the awesome axe wielding! There are some serious skills right there! Sorry it’s so small. Seems to be locked down by Time which is rather annoying.

With his final foray with The Twilight Saga on the horizon, Robert Pattinson looks to be setting up a fine post-Twilight career for himself, leading Bel Ami next month and David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis later this year.

Admittedly, Bel Ami at least will be coming before the curtain opens on Breaking Day – Part 2 in November, but with filming finished on the film, Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are both looking on top form to continue with successful careers beyond the franchise’s conclusion.

We’ve now got ten minutes’ worth of clips to share with you from Bel Ami co-directed by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod, who look to be making a promising directorial debut with this, with Rachel Bennette also making her writing debut, based on the 19th century novel of the same name by Guy de Maupassant.

“Bel Ami is the story of Georges Duroy (Pattinson), who travels through 1890s Paris, from cockroach ridden garrets to opulent salons, using his wits and powers of seduction to rise from poverty to wealth, from a prostitute’s embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties, in a world where politics and media jostle for influence, where sex is power and celebrity an obsession.”

Along with Pattinson, the film has an impressive supporting cast headed up by Uma Thurman, Kristen Scott Thomas, and Christina Ricci, seen one-to-one with Pattinson at the end of these clips. If you’re interested in the movie already, this will no doubt only spur your excitement for its release next month.

Bel Ami will be with us here in the UK on 9th March, a week after its release in the US on the 2nd. You can catch up on all the rest of our coverage for the film here, including the first teaser trailer we caught just before Christmas. And for now, here are those ten minutes of clips with which to dip your toe in the water.

Starring Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston in the leads, Wanderlust has the potential to be brilliant. We saw a great first trailer for the film a few months ago, and now we’ve got a great new clip to share with you with Rudd showing off his guitar skills, taking on the Spin Doctors song, Two Princes.

Directed by David Wain and co-written by Wain and Ken Marino, whose Role Models proved a huge success back in 2008, the film has a great supporting cast that includes Justin Theroux, Malin Akerman, Marino himself, Alan Alda, Kathryn Hahn, and Ray Liotta.

“George and Linda are an overextended, stressed out Manhattan couple. After George is downsized out of his job, they find themselves with only one option: to move in with George’s awful brother in Atlanta.

On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colorful characters who embrace a different way of looking at things. Money? It can’t buy happiness. Careers? Who needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them.

Is Elysium the fresh start George and Linda need? Or will the change of perspective cause more problems than it solves?”

This new clip, via Metacafe and Collider, sees Rudd go up against Theroux on the guitar and coming out a little worse for wear, with Aniston looking brilliantly impressed by Theroux instead of Rudd.

Wanderlust is set to hit the big screen here on 10^th March, a few weeks after its US release on 24^th February, and by all accounts looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. Here’s the new clip to give you an idea of what we can expect.

Lionsgate have just sent over the first UK poster and trailer for their new movie starring Mel Gibson with the title ‘How I Spent My Summer Vacation. he movie sees Mel Gibson in his first action movie for some years and I’m really hoping (like The Beaver) that he puts in an amazing performance. Could it be a new Lethal Weapon or has that time been and gone for Mel? I guess we’ll see.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation is directed by Adrian Grunberg and also stars Peter Stormare, Bob Gunton, Dean Norris, Scott Cohen, Patrick Bauchau. It’ll be with us May 11th.

It’s been a bad day for Driver (Gibson) and it’s not getting any better. He just made a big haul of millions that would give him a nice summer vacation on easy street.  A good idea that went south – literally.

During a high-speed car chase with the US Border Patrol, and a bleeding body in his back seat, Driver flips his car smashing through the border wall, tumbling violently, coming to a stop … in Mexico.  Apprehended by the Mexican authorities, he is sent to a hard-core prison where he enters the strange and dangerous world of “El Pueblito”, the worst prison in all of Mexico.  Not an easy place for an outsider such as Driver to survive, unless it’s with the help of someone who knows the ropes – a 10 year-old kid.

Directed by Adrian Grunberg, How I Spent My Summer Vacation, is produced by Mel Gibson, Bruce Davey and Stacy Perskie and stars Mel Gibson, Daniel Gimenez Cacho, Jesus Ochoa, Roberto Sosa, Dolores Heredia, Kevin Hernandez, Fernando Becerril, Mayra Serbullo, Mario Zaragoza, Gerardo Taracena, Tenoch Huerta and Peter Gerety.

This new poster echos one of the first images (from The Film Stage) from the movie which I’ve placed below. Have a watch of the trailer and let us know what you think.

Oscar-nominated writer-director Oren Moverman returns behind the camera for Rampart, a fantastic second film that sees him to return to work with Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster from his debut, The Messengers.

This time around, Harrelson is front and centre in the corrupt L.A. crime drama, and it’s a role that has been deservedly described as the performance of his career. I saw the film at the London Film Festival late last year (you can read my review of the film here), and it was by far one of the best corrupt cop dramas I’ve seen in years.

“Los Angeles, 1999. Officer Dave Brown is a Vietnam vet and a Rampart Precinct cop, dedicated to doing “the people’s dirty work” and asserting his own code of justice, often blurring the lines between right and wrong to maintain his action-hero state of mind. When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a personal and emotional downward spiral as the consequences of his past sins and his refusal to change his ways in light of a department-wide corruption scandal seal his fate. Brown internalizes his fear, anguish and paranoia as his world, complete with two ex-wives who are sisters, two daughters, an aging mentor dispensing bad advice, investigators galore, and a series of seemingly random women, starts making less and less sense. In the end, what is left is a human being stripped of all his pretense, machismo, chauvinism, arrogance, sexism, homophobia, racism, aggression, misanthropy; but is it enough to redeem him as a man?”

To whet our appetites for the film, Millennium Entertainment have now made the first five minutes available to watch online through Yahoo Movies, and if you weren’t interested in seeing this movie already, I highly recommend you watch the clip below to get excited for its release at the end of the month.

James Ellroy, heralded as one of the best crime novelists in America, co-wrote the script with Moverman, and along with Harrelson and Foster, the cast includes terrific performances from Ice Cube, Robin Wright, Brie Larson, Ned Beatty, Anne Heche, Sigourney Weaver, Cynthia Nixon, and another collaboration with Steve Buscemi, who took a role in Moverman’s first film too.

Rampart will be released here in the UK on 24^th February, which will see it opening against Katherine Heigl’s One for the Money and Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds’ Safe House. If you’re heading to the cinema that weekend, I’d definitely recommend choosing Rampart as your film of choice. Harrelson deserves every bit of the recognition he’s been getting for his role, and Moverman shows that the Oscar-nominated The Messengers was clearly no fluke. I’m already excited to see what the writer-director brings us next. For now, here’s the great opening of Rampart, which will be with us in full in less than two weeks. Enjoy.

Last night in the US, the DVD and Blu-ray went on sale for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 and fans of the movie were given a sneak peak of a clip from the final movie which is released in November and sees the final chapter of the movie which stars Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson. This clip follows the news that the first trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 will hit before The Hunger Games when it’s released in March.

Both the shots of the clip below come from footage filmed on mobile phones or the like in-store but no doubt the clips will be officially released online in the coming days.

Thanks Collider for finding these. Check out the clip below which features a very pale looking Bella!

You know that Osama Bin Laden zombie movie that no one hoped would ever happen? And that no one even thought possible or indeed tactful? No? Well that’s probably because the concept never really entered your head, or because you had better things to do, or because you aren’t a moron with the IQ of a commercially savvy infant.

Well brace yourselves for an onslaught by “the axis of evil dead” as Bin Laden hunts for brains in Osombie – I think I’ll let the official plot synopsis fill you in:

“The story follows Dusty, a yoga instructor from Colorado, who is on a desperate rescue mission to save her crazy brother Derek, a conspiracy theorist who is convinced Osama Bin Laden is still alive, despite having been buried at sea. In Afghanistan, Dusty falls in with a team of NATO Special Forces on a secret assignment. Turns out Derek is not so crazy after all, and that Osama has returned from his watery grave and is making an army of zombie terrorists. When the group crashes headlong into the growing zombie apocalypse, Dusty and the troops must find and destroy the root of the zombie insurgency before it infests the rest of the world.”

The trailer promises that “Bin Laden. Will Die. Again.” And I guess that in the film he will. Although bringing up his death again isn’t exactly the least contentious thing one can do.

If you want a hands around the world, heal the poor, hug a puppy sort of movie I’m guessing don’t go and buy the straight-to-DVD DVD but many (well, a few) more will, if only to laugh at it. The trailer seems to be laughing at itself that’s for sure.

It really doesn’t matter though, hardly anyone will see it and even less will take it at all seriously:

We got a look at the new Looney Tunes short, I Tawt I Taw A Puddy Tat, late last year, which played out in the States in front of Happy Feet Two. And now we’ve got a great new clip of another short of fan-favourites Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd battling it out in Daffy’s Rhapsody.

Both shorts have used original recordings of Mel Blanc’s iconic voices recorded back in the 1950s and brought them back to life on the big screen. In this new clip, we also see Billy West, who voices Elmer Fudd, talking about and recording the short along with director Matthew O’Callaghan, who’s directed a spate of recent Looney Tunes shorts, including Coyote Falls, Fur of Flying, and the most recent I Tawt I Taw A Puddy Tat.

I missed Happy Feet Two when it came to cinemas here in the UK, so I’m not sure if we got to see it ahead of the film like they did in the US. And likewise, with Daffy’s Rhapsody being attached to Journey 2: The Mysterious Island across the Atlantic, I’m not sure if the same thing’s happened here in the UK. Journey 2 is in cinemas in the UK already, so let us know if you’ve seen it in the comments below!

And if you’re reading this out in the States, then you can look forward to seeing two of your beloved Looney Tunes characters in 3D before Journey 2, which should be arriving at your local theatre today! Here’s a little teaser to whet your appetites, and you can head over to Yahoo Movies if you’d like to see it in HD. Just listening to the opening music is sure to make you feel nostalgic. Enjoy!

This is a film I think everyone will be talking about this summer. Lining up a little before the superhero blockbusters kick off in July, we’ll be getting Seeking a Friend for the End of the World with Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, and it looks so good.

We got a lovely first poster for it earlier this week, which gave an indication that this wouldn’t be the kind of apocalyptic disaster movie the title would indicate at all, which is definitely to its benefit.

And now we’ve got the trailer that proves this drama-comedy-romance is going to be brilliant.

“Set in a too-near future, a man searches for a meaningful connection as humanity’s last days are at hand. Can he find his greatest love at the worst possible time? As the respective journeys of Dodge and Penny converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks – if not the world’s – brighten.”

Lorene Scafaria makes her directorial debut with this from her own script, and alongside Carell and Knightley, we can also look forward to seeing Adam Brody (The O.C.), Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men), Patton Oswalt (Young Adult), William Peterson (CSI), and Gillian Jacobs (Community).

It’s great to see Carell doing so well as he branches out into more drama-oriented comedies, having given such a good performance last year in Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is set to be released in the US on 22nd June, and though there’s no word on a UK release date yet, I’m hoping we’ll be getting it at the same time too. Here’s the trailer to get you excited for it in case you weren’t already. And you can click on over to Yahoo Movies if you’d like to see it in HD.

We didn’t post an article on it but a couple of weeks ago, there was a big hoo-hah from various leprosy groups including Lepra Health In Action and the International Federation of Anti-Leprosy Associations (ILEP) who complained about a specific scene in Sony / Aardman’s new movie, The Pirates: In an Adventure with Scientists or The Pirates! Band of Misfits (depending on which side of the Atlantic you’re from). The scene in question is where The Pirates Captain (voiced by Hugh Grant) jumps on board a ship which turns out to be from a leper colony. It’s is about 10 seconds long and you’ll see pretty much all of it in all of the trailers that we’ve put up so far. I’m not really sure what I think about the scene being cut but in this world of being uber PC, I guess Sony / Aardman had to make the description to cut it. This is what they said on the matter courtesy of Deadline:

“After reviewing the matter, we decided to change the scene out of respect and sensitivity for those who suffer from leprosy. The last thing anyone intended was to offend anyone and it is clear to us that the right way to proceed is to honor the efforts made by organizations like ILEP to educate the public about this disease.”

Anyway, this evening, Sony have put up a brand new trailer, 4 seconds shorter than it’s predecessor minus the now infamous scene. I’ve placed both the original version of the trailer which we placed back in November (that’s the Yahoo embed) and then the new version which Sony have just released this evening.

The Pirates: In an Adventure with Scientists is quite possibly the movie I’m looking forward to seeing most this year. I know that’s a controversial thing to say what with the first part of The Hobbit, The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers and Spider-Man coming out but I simply cannot wait to see the complete version of the masterpiece that Aardman have created. I mean just look at my set report! AMAZING!

The scene in question is 26 seconds in. Make sure you don’t laugh at it because it’s not funny!

Best known in the West for his superb performance in Ang Lee’s Oscar-winning film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Chow Yun-fat has since gone on to star in a number of both American and Asian films, including Curse of the Golden Flower, Bulletproof Monk, and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.

One of his most recent films, Let the Bullets Fly, was released in China back in December 2010, and took 730m. yuan ($111m.) at the Chinese box office, becoming the highest-grossing domestic film in China. It’s now getting a limited release out in the States, and we’ve got the first US trailer and poster to share with you, courtesy of Apple.

“In this pitch-black action-comedy, the legendary bandit “Pocky” Zhang violently crosses paths with the con man Tang, who desperately offers up an intriguing proposition: Zhang will become the governor of Goose Town, where he can make more money in a month than he would in a year of train robberies. But neither realizes that Goose Town is already under the iron rule of Master Huang (Hong Kong action legend Chow Yun-Fat), a ruthless and wealthy crime lord. Zhang and Huang begin a hyper-violent and hilarious series of escalating mind games in this witty, masterfully vicious film, China’s highest-grossing of all time.”

The film is directed by Jiang Wen, who also stars alongside Yun-fat, along with Ge You, Carina Lau, and Feng Xiaogang.

Let the Bullets Fly will be hitting US theatres in just a few weeks’ time on 2^nd March, and though unfortunately we probably won’t be getting a theatrical release here in the UK, hopefully we can look forward to getting it on DVD/Blu-Ray soon, most likely through Cine Asia. (On a slightly different note, Cine Asia will be re-releasing Jackie Chan’s classic Wheels on Meals on DVD on 19^th March, and you can pre-order it for only £4.99 via the usual places.)

Without further ado, here’s the great first US trailer for Let the Bullets Fly, followed by the poster. And if you want to watch the trailer in HD, then you can click on over to Apple.

Here’s a brand new UK poster and teaser trailer for Will Ferrell’s latest movie, Casa de mi Padre. It looks completely nuts but that’s what we’ve come to expect from Mr. Ferrell isn’t it! The movie also stars Diego Luna, Gael Garcia Bernal, Genesis Rodriguez and is directed by

Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father’s ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch faces financial strains, Armando’s younger brother Raul (Diego Luna) shows up with his new fiancee, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez) and pledges to settle all his father’s debts. It seems that Raul’s success as an international businessman means the ranch’s troubles are over, but when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul’s business dealings turn out to be less than legit, the Alvarez family finds themselves in a full-out war with Mexico’s most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal).

I think this trailer has been released in a US cut before but I think the poster is brand new and asked the question, ‘Who is Armando Alvarez?’

Enjoy!

More than half a decade in the making, director Timo Vuorensola’s movie about Nazis from the dark side of the moon is finally coming to the big screen this year, and will be making its debut at the Berlin International Film Festival this Saturday, 11th February.

We’ve seen a few things from the sci-fi action-comedy already, most recently in a new trailer and poster in the past two weeks, and now we have another new trailer to share with you, going out in honour of its world premiere.

The film’s synopsis looks a little like this, courtesy of the festival’s site:

“Following their unusually successful science-fiction cult parody STAR WRECK, the Finnish guerrilla filmmakers of Energia Productions return to our screens with IRON SKY, a hysterical piece of tomfoolery that rolls wildly confused Nazi esotericism and fascistic-techno-mysticism into one big parody.
Unknown to the world, at the end of 1945, a group of scientists from the Nazi fortress of New Swabia in the Antarctic escaped in space rockets to the dark side of the moon. Here, in complete isolation from the rest of the world in a sublunary military base known as the ‘Black Sun’, a cosmic Nazi Armada of UFOs is being constructed with the intention of subjugating the world’s population. Panic arises, however, when the imminent arrival of a US space shuttle is announced. It’s 2018, and mission ‘meteor Blitzkrieg’ begins. The Nazis land in New York – but secret agent Renate has her own plans …
The breathtaking mix of concept art, extraordinary graphic design and artistic opulence contained in this intoxicating space odyssey will surely guarantee cult status for IRON SKY which, made with support of a vast internet community, splendidly fulfils all the criteria for an over-the-top trashy B-movie-cum-exploitation film full of cheap thrills.”

After making its debut in Germany at the weekend, Iron Sky will be released here in the UK on 4th April, so for those of you who’ve been waiting for this to finally arrive, you’ll be pleased to know that the wait is almost over! Here’s the great new trailer to keep you satisfied until then, with the official press release beneath it.

“Iron Sky Trailer Released, Berlinale Instantly Sold Out

The Finnish Scifi Spectacle Gears Up for World Domination by Releasing the Official Theatrical Trailer

The Fenno-Austro-German Iron Sky, a dark scifi comedy about the invasion of Nazis from the Dark Side of the Moon, celebrates its upcoming premiere at Berlin International Film Festival by releasing the very official theatrical trailer, showcasing what the dark horse of the Berlinale has to offer.

The trailer establishes that the Nazis in exile have been watching Earth for 70 years, constructing a huge fleet of flying saucers. When the Nazis decide that they have bided their time long enough and launch a full scale assault against the Earth, they find that Earth is the easy prey they sought to conquer. The massive top notch visuals alone speak volumes about the uniqueness of the movie.

“It was extremely difficult to make a movie like this. Honestly, it’s amazing we ever finished the film,” says Timo Vuorensola, the director of Iron Sky. “The many hardships and all the trouble we went through to make an indie product like this was staggering, but we pulled it through. We’re proud of our accomplishments, and the theatrical trailer gives a powerful glimpse into the world of Iron Sky.”

“The concept of Iron Sky is strong, and the movie both looks and sounds awesome. We really believe it can compete against the big Hollywood blockbusters ten times our budget,” says producer Tero Kaukomaa. “We aim to give these giants a good run for their money, and show what power a community like ours really wields. We are encouraging our fans to grab the trailer and spread it through the Internet like it was the end of the world. We want more views for our trailer than these blockbusters, and with our dedicated fan base, we know we can do it!”

Iron Sky‘s fan base has been steadily growing since the production started in 2006. The movie’s Facebook page alone has 100,000 fans, with millions of views on all three teasers, and unparalleled amounts of international attention. The production is in fact coproduced by the community – the fans have brought almost million dollars to the production budget through fan investments and funding.

Six years in the making, the 7.5 million euro production will have it’s world premiere at Berlin international Film Festival as part of the Panorama special selection. The tickets were sold out in an hour, overshadowing both Werner Herzog and Angelina Jolie’s newest productions. The theatrical release date for Iron Sky is April 4th 2012, and it has been sold to over 30 territories worldwide.”

This Means War is released in the UK March 2nd which is all too far away so it bridge the gap, here’s nine minute’s the film for your viewing pleasure. It’s an extended scene from the film which shows Chris Pine and Tom Hardy finding out that they are both dating the same girl, a certain Reese Witherspoon.

The movie is directed McG who is the man who brought us Charlie’s Angels and Terminator Salvation so he know knows how to make an action movie. In the clip, we get to see a rather great selection of comedy and action and I am actually really excited to see it!

The world’s deadliest CIA operatives are inseparable partners and best friends until they fall for the same woman. Having once helped bring down entire enemy nations, they are now employing their incomparable skills and an endless array of high-tech gadgetry against their greatest nemesis ever – each other.

I’m looking forward to John Carter more and more with every passing day. After getting a brilliant new TV spot for the film during the Super Bowl at the weekend, followed by a great set of new images yesterday, we’ve now got another epic new TV spot to share with you, along with a new international poster.

This new minute-long TV spot, courtesy of ComingSoon.net, adds to all of the awesome things we’ve seen from Disney’s upcoming blockbuster already, showing a terrific array of special effects, with all kinds of great alien creatures, explosions, and more.

“Synopsis: From Academy Award(R)-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes “John Carter”–a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). “John Carter” is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs , whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.”

Led by Taylor Kitsch in the titular lead role, the film also stars Lynn Collins as the warrior Princess lead female, Mark Strong, Bryan Cranston, Dominic West, Samantha Morton, Willem Dafoe, Ciarán Hinds, and James Purefoy. Andrew Stanton, best known for his Oscar-winning direction of Finding Nemo and WALL-E, will be making his debut with live-action, and it looks like an immense debut at that.

John Carter will be with us in 3D on 9^th March, so literally just over one month before we get to see this epic film unfold before us on the big screen. I can’t wait. Until then, here’s the brand new TV spot and Israeli poster, via IMP Awards, to feast your eyes on. And the music in the new spot is suitably more than a little bit epic, so plenty for your ears to enjoy too.

Here’s the UK trailer for Momentum Pictures’ new movie, Actor of Valor which has thankfully now had it’s ‘U’ added back in to make it all British like! The movie is a fictitious story about a group of US Navy Seals who go on a recovery mission but is based on true reports from real operations. We’ve seen it and our review will be up soon. Act of Valour hits UK cinemas March 23rd and as you’ll see from the trailer, it’s explosive stuff!

It stars Roselyn Sanchez, Emilio Rivera, Nestor Serrano, Gonzalo Menendez, Ailsa Marshall, Jason Cottle and is directed by the Bandito Brothers.

Momentum Pictures are proud to announce the UK release of the Bandito Brothers’ explosive Navy SEAL action movie, ACT OF VALOUR, starring active-duty Navy SEALs that takes you deep into the secretive world of the most elite, highly trained and deadly group of warriors in modern combat.

Conceived by former Baja 1000 champion Mike “Mouse” McCoy and former stuntman Scott Waugh, ACT OF VALOUR goes deep into the secret world of today’s most elite and highly trained group of warriors.

When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot, a team of SEALs is dispatched on a global manhunt. As the men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that could kill and wound thousands of innocent civilians, they must balance their commitments to country, team, and their families back home.

Based on real events, the film combines stunning combat sequences, up-to-the minute battlefield technology and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure.

The official Facebook page for the movie is here.

Yesterday we posted the first of BAFTA’s own videos introducing the nominees in some of the main categories of the 2012 awards and now we have two more to get you up to speed.

Chief amongst the films on show here, and the only one to straddle the two categories, is Asif Kapadia’s Senna which didn’t make a dent in the Oscar’s list (long or short) but is up for both Best Documentary and Outstanding British Film.

Other films being celebrated include Steve McQueen’s Shame and Lynne Ramsay’s soul-eviscerating We Need to Talk About Kevin. It’s another strong year for the est Documentary category with the aforementioned Senna up against Martin Scorsese’s take on George Harrison and James Marsh’s Project Nim.

Here’s the videos, see you on the 12th.

The two trailers that we’ve seen so far for the upcoming party movie, Project X, produced by Todd Phillips (The Hangover), have both been promising, with plenty of out-of-control, utterly insane partying on a kind of scale that just defies reality.

We’ve now got three new thirty-second TV spots to share with you, via ComingSoon.net, in which we get a bit more footage from the film, as well as some of the great shots we’ve already seen, like a cute dog bouncing on a trampoline, a helicopter dousing a flaming street with water, and a neighbour getting electrocuted with a good old-fashioned Taser.

““Project X” follows three seemingly anonymous high school seniors as they attempt to finally make a name for themselves. Their idea is innocent enough: let’s throw a party that no one will forget… but nothing could prepare them for this party. Word spreads quickly as dreams are ruined, records are blemished and legends are born. “Project X” is a warning to parents and police everywhere. This film has been rated R for crude and sexual content throughout, nudity, drugs, drinking, pervasive language, reckless behavior and mayhem-all involving teens.”

Nima Nourizadeh makes his directorial debut with this, from a script co-written by Matt Drake and Michael Bacall, the latter of whom counts among his credits the brilliant Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Definitely some potential there.

Project X will be coming to UK cinemas on 2nd March this year, so just under a month to go before the craziness unfolds on the big screen. It looks more than a little out of control, and these new TV spots have no trouble in getting that across. Enjoy.

We got the awesome new Super Bowl TV spot for G.I. Joe: Retaliation a few days early last week, and now we’ve got more brand new footage to tease you with, with a French trailer landing tonight, along with a new image from the film.

Jon M. Chu has helmed the project from a script by Zombieland’s Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and we’ll be getting some familiar faces from the first film returning, as well as a host of new talent too.

Channing Tatum, Ray Park, and Lee Byung-hun reprise their roles from G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and joining them will be Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Bruce Willis, Adrianne Palicki, Elodie Yung, Ray Stevenson, RZA, D.J. Cotrona, and Walton Goggins.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation will be released on 22nd June this year here in the UK, before setting sail across the Atlantic a week later to hit US theatres on June 29th. The first trailer we caught back in December made everything look pretty awesome, and the Super Bowl TV spot coupled with this new trailer has only furthered the excellent special effects we’ve seen, with a healthy dose of comedy.

With a few more months to go, you can whet your appetites now with some great new footage from the film, followed by a shot of Bruce Willis looking pretty bemused with Dwayne Johnson suitably living up to his character’s name, Roadblock. As usual, click to enlarge.
