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.

The Super Bowl hits TVs this weekend and that means it’s time for all the studios to showcase their summer movies as it’s viewed by some ridiculous number of people! Many will tune in to watch the New York Giants vs. The New England Patriots while others will tune in simply to see new TV spots and trailers.

Many studios have been releasing TV spots early and this evening we get a new 30 second trailer for G.I. Joe Retaliation. The sequel to the 2009 movie stars Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, Ray Stevenson, Walton Goggins, Bruce Willis, Jonathan Pryce and according to the trailer Jay-Z who gets quoted by The Rock as one of his tracks is played over it. Epic!

G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation is directed by Jon M Chu and will be with us 22nd June. Have a watch below:

On Saturday, we got our first sneak peek of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer which is the sequel to the 2009 movie, G.I. Joe Rise of the Cobra and now the full trailer is here.

This time, veteran hard man Bruce Willis and not so veteran hard man, Dwayne Johnson show up to give the movie extra umph alongside Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, Ray Stevenson and Walton Goggins. This one won’t be subtle…

 Synopsis: The G.I. Joe team faces off against Zartan, his accomplices, and the world leaders he has under his influence.

The movie is set for release on the 22nd of June and you can see all our coverage of the movie here.

Here’s the trailer,

Most weekends not too much happens when it comes to big movie news but someone didnt get the memo as this evening as well as this amazing new poster for The Dark Knight Rises, we have this first look footage of The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis from the sequel to the 2010 movie, G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

The footage comes from ET as is a preview to the trailer which is set to hit on Monday. The film also stars Channing Tatum, Adrianne Palicki, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, Ray Stevenson, Walton Goggins, and is directed by Jon M Chu. It’ll be with us 22nd June.

Production on the GI Joe sequel, now titled GI Joe 2: Retaliation rather than Cobra Strikes, has now begun, with Dwayne Johnson, a.k.a. The Rock, posting a picture of himself in character as Roadblock via his Twitter.

Variety also reports that Justified’s Walton Goggins has signed on to join the rest of the cast, much of whom are similarly new to the new series, for the sequel to 2009’s GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra.

Retaliation, which will be released in 3-D, is to be helmed by Jon M. Chu, whose previous credits include Justin Bieber: Never Say Never and the second and third Step Up instalments. Ostensibly, this sounds like a totally different change of pace for Chu, given his past features. But when you think about it, so much choreography has to go into both dancing and fighting when you film it, so in that respect, his experience could prove useful.

Of the original cast, Channing Tatum, Ray Park, and Lee Byung-hun will be reprising their respective roles as Duke, Snake-Eyes, and Storm Shadow. Joining them will be Johnson as Roadblock, Adrianne Palicki as the female lead Lady Jaye, D.J. Cotrona and RZA as Flint and Blindmaster, Elodie Yung as Jinx, Ray Stevenson as Firefly, Joseph Mazzello as Mouse, and now Walton Goggins as Warden Nigel James. And in a somewhat unexpected move, Bruce Willis is also in talks to join as the original GI Joe, General Joe Colton.

With the writers of Zombieland, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, having penned the script for this sequel, and with the cast shaping up to be pretty interesting, it could definitely be worth checking out when it comes out, with Paramount currently aiming for a 29th June, 2012 release.

This new picture of Johnson as Roadblock is pretty much everything you’d expect. He’s kitted out in his army gear hefting a bit of a menacing weapon, ready to stop anything that comes his way. He also tweeted this great line along with the photo:

“1st day of shooting. 110 degrees. Bring It. #GIJoe”

By my estimation, 110 degrees Fahrenheit works out just north of 40 degrees Celsius, and Johnson’s attitude is just ridiculously awesome. Essentially, throw anything you like at him, Nature, he can do whatever the hell he sets his mind to. I must confess that I’m still yet to see The Rise of Cobra, but I’ll make sure I’ve seen it by the time Retaliation comes out next year, because it’s definitely got me interested. Without further ado, here’s the new picture of Johnson in character. As usual, click to enlarge.

This image was released while I was out in Austin at SXSW and it’s been on my list of posts to do since I got back. But I mean what the heck?! The image shows Adrianne Palicki in her Wonder Woman getup and really doesn’t help the TV series much. It does just look like she’s been down to the local party shop and hired a costume and got a professionally photo done. Then again, did Lynda Carter’s costume from the 1970s TV series ever look any different? Probably not!

This image doesn’t help the series which has been mocked on-line ever since it as announced. With news that Liz Hurley is also on board to play a villain, this could be the most amusing TV series ever! But I guess we have to give it a chance!

Latino Review have placed a new clip from Samuel Goldwyn Films’ latest movie, Electra Luxx. The movie stars Carla Gugino, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Timothy Olyphant, Kathleen Quinlan, Vincent Kartheiser, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Marley Shelton, Malin Akerman and from what we’ve seen of it so far, it looks like it could be a little gem! If you’ve missed the trailer, you can check it out here.

Check out the film clip below.

Synopsis: Recently retired from the adult film industry, superstar Elektra Luxx (Carla Gugino) is pregnant with the child of late rock star Nick Chapel. She is trying to make ends meet by teaching a community college sex education class aimed at housewives when a figure from her past, flight attendant Cora (Marley Shelton), approaches her with a proposition. In exchange for the (stolen) lyrics to Nick Chapel’s last record, all of which is about Elektra, Cora needs Elektra to seduce her fiancée.

Elektra reluctantly agrees to do this favour, setting in motion a series of hilarious events which will see her come face to face with detectives, sex bloggers, emotionally unstable neighbours and the Virgin Mary herself as she wrestles with the prospect of motherhood and tries to become a person of substance.

I’ve not found a UK release date for the movie as yet but we’ll keep you posted.

There’s been speculation over who was going to play the character of Wonder Woman in NBC’s new TV series for quite a while now. But we can now rest easy as Warner Bros. have announced (via Deadline) that Adrianne Palicki who I think I last saw in Legion has been cast as the ironic character and apparently she’s been given an invisible plane to celebrate!

According to Deadline, after a standout performance in Lone Star, she’s been picked to star as the comic book character made famous by Lynda Carter in the 1970s. The series will get a pilot before going into fully fledged production and I guess we’ll see how she gets on. I’m sure there will be a lot of excited people out there ready to see this series back on the big screen.

So, what do we think? A good choice? Let us know in the comments section below.

If you’ve not seen the trailer for Elektra Luxx yet, it’s probably one you’ll want to check out! The movies stars Carla Gugino as the title character alongside Adrianne Palicki, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Malin Akerman and the awesome Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Elektra Luxx will be released in the US on March 11. A UK release date has not yet been confirmed.

Elektra reluctantly agrees to do this favor, setting in motion a series of hilarious events which will see her come face to face with detectives, sex bloggers, emotionally unstable neighbors and the Virgin Mary herself as she wrestles with the prospect of motherhood and tries to become a person of substance.

For those of you who had forgotten that a remake of cult 80’s Ruskies US home invasion action flick Red Dawn was on the way (I know I did), Latino Review has posted the first image and the film’s logo. As this is an MGM production, it’s probably safe to assume that a release date is around the corner too given that, financially speaking, the company is back on track.

This time around the gang of ragtag teenagers have to fight off the Chinese who invade their homeland. Not sure why they would go to the trouble of launching a military attack in this day and age when they could probably just as easily purchase the required nuclear weaponry, but there you go.

Filling the boots of the original cast members (a typically 80’s bratpack-y ensemble which included the late Patrick Swayze, his Dirty Dancing sweetheart Jennifer Grey and Charlie Sheen) are Thor himself Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Josh Peck, Adrianne Palicki and Isabel Lucas.

The film is directed by veteran stuntman Dan Bradley, whose experience on the likes of Crank and the last two Bourne pictures should at least guarantee some decent bangs for bucks.

Legion is releasedon DVD and Blu Ray today and stars Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black, Adrianne Palicki, Charles S. Dutton,  Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Durand, Jon Tenney, Willa Holland, Kate Walsh and is directed by Scott Stewart.

The basic premise of the movie is that God (although never mentioned by name) isn’t happy with his people and decides to start all over again, much like the Bible story, Noah and the Ark. The difference here is that rather than sending a giant flood to wipe out the earth, God uses….. Us! Sound a bit odd. Well, it sort of is!

While God prepares his army of angels to come and possess us all, one angel, Michael (Bettany) stands up against the Lord and Creator. Michael is on a mission to save a baby which is currently in the womb of Charlie played by Adrianne Palicki. If the baby lives, humanity has a chance, if he/she doesn’t, it’s the end of the world as we know it. Along with Bettany, it’s down to a human with the stupidest name of all time, Jeep Hanson (Lucas Black) to try to defend the love of his life who couldn’t care less if he was attracted to her or not.

Legion is a very confused movie with a rather large cast and no real idea of where it’s going. The fact that a rogue angel stands up to God to defy his will is crazy will no doubt annoy any Christian who watched it.

Some redeeming qualities include the sound design which was just fantastic and the special effects but I’m afraid neither save this movie from the tripe that it turned out to be. I’m rather sad it was so bad because from the trailers, it has potential to be something great and I think if the screenplay had been better, we’d have seen a great movie. However it was full of so many absurdities and cliched lines that it’s probably destined to go to the bottom of the bargain bin at your local service/gas station.

If Terminator was merged with Dawn of the Dead with a splash of Childsplay and Men in Black thrown in for good measure, you’d get some way to explaining Legion’s storyline.

Legion is released on DVD and Blu ray – Monday, 9th August and you can purchase it here.

Some movies look great on paper but are either let down by the transition to the big screen. Let me sow that seed of information as you read on.

Legion is the new action thriller from Sony Pictures. It stars Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black, Adrianne Palicki, Charles S. Dutton,  Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Durand, Jon Tenney, Willa Holland, Kate Walsh and is directed by Scott Stewart.

The basic premise of the movie is that God (although never mentioned by name) isn’t happy with his people and decides to start all over again, much like the Bible story, Noah and the Ark. The difference here is that rather than sending a giant flood to wipe out the earth, God uses….. Us! Sound a bit odd. Well, it sort of is!

Michael is on a mission to save a baby which is currently in the womb of Charlie played by Adrianne Palicki.

Along with Bettany, it’s down to a human with the stupidest name of all time, Jeep Hanson (Lucas Black) to try to defend the love of his life who couldn’t care less if he was attracted to her or not.

Legion is a very confused movie with a rather large cast and no real idea of where it’s going. The fact that a rogue angel stands up to God to defy his will is crazy and goes against everything The Bible has taught Christians since it was written. Some of the dialogue between characters us just laughable and in fact, if you had a camera on the lady sitting next to me, you’d think Legion was indeed full of laugh out loud jokes. She really was in hysterics at how terrible this film was. She was not alone with groans, yawns and people leaving the screening well before it finished as they couldn’t take anymore! I held strong to the end for you the HeyUGuys readers!

Some redeeming qualities include the sound design which was just fantastic and the special effects but I’m afraid neither save this movie from the tripe that it turned out to be. I’m rather sad it was so bad because from the trailers, it has potential to be something great and I think if the screenplay had been better, we’d have seen a great movie. However it was full of so many absurdities and cliched lines that it was destined to go to the bottom of the bargain bin at your local service/gas station.

If Terminator was merged with Dawn of the Dead with a splash of Childsplay and Men in Black thrown in for good measure, you’d get some way to explaining Legion’s storyline. It’s redeeming feature is that it only cost an estimated $26m to make an according to wikipedia, has already made double that in takings in the US so I guess it’s not to be sniffed at. The effects and cast that was used in the movie was actually quite respectable with a budget so low (and yes, i know $26m is still an awful lot of money).

Legion is released in cinemas this Friday. I really look forward to some of you seeing it so you can tell me if I’m wrong but please make sure you go on Orange Wednesday so you’re not paying full price to watch it!

Sony have released a brand new international trailer for Legion which stars Dennis Quaid, Charles S. Dutton, Kate Walsh, Tyrese Gibson, Lucas Black, Adrianne Palicki, and is directed by Scott Stewart.

The movie has been released in the US for a while now and you can see our early review here. This new international trailer shows us a bit more of the story and the characters. It’s scheduled for release in the UK 5th March.

Even though Britain has come to a standstill because of snow, we’re still here to bring you all the latest movie news. This morning’s treat is a new clip from Paul Bettany’s new movie, Legion. The clip shows him having an epic battle with the Angel Gabriel in the form of Kevin Durand. Legion is directed by Scott Stewart and also stars Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson, Kate Walsh and Adrianne Palicki.

Legion is scheduled for release 5th March and after seeing the previous trailers and now this clip, I’m looking forward to it even more. Check out the clip below or head over to Yahoo to view in HD.

The Scott Stewart directed supernatural thriller  of Legion starring Paul Bettany looks like being a wonderfully violent and nasty film, and the trailer which debuted this summer had a nice vibe, sort of The Mist meets From Dusk till Dawn.

Recently we’ve seen a slew of motion comics, which is a process of animating the still frames of a comic book and now Legion has had the same treatment – and the trailer is now available below.

Paul Bettany does the voiceover for this and it looks to be a great accompaniment to the film which is released in January 2010.

Enjoy.

I’ve not seen or heard anything about this movie before we were given this new trailer today by Sony Pictures. It’s called The Stepfather and looks like it might be a pretty good thriller to end the year with.

The movie stars Dylan Walsh, Sela Ward, Penn Badgley, Adrianne Palicki, Amber Heard, Paige Turco, Braeden LeMasters, Skyler Samuels, Jon Tenney and is directed by Nelson McCormick. It’s scheduled for release 11th December so not too long to wait. Synopsis and trailer are below.

Synopsis: Michael Harding (Penn Badgley) returns home from military school to find his mother (Sela Ward) happily in love and living with her new boyfriend, David (Dylan Walsh). As the two men get to know each other, Michael becomes more and more suspicious of the man who is always there with a helpful hand. Is he really the man of her dreams or could David be hiding a dark side?

Here’s some awesome new images from Legion which we can expect to see on our screens 5th March. I can’t wait to see this movie. It looks like the perfect blend of action and Paul Bettany looking like he’s rather angry!

Legion also stars Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson, Kate Walsh, Adrianne Palicki, Charles S. Dutton, Willa Holland and is directed by Scott Stewart.

These new images come from Hollywood.com and look awesome. Check them out below (click to enlarge). You can see the red band trailer than we’ve posted previously here to get a bit more info on what the film is about.

JoBlo.com have posted six new awesome character poster for Legion. Click the above image to view all the posters in their montage form when you’ll notice that combined, they form a quote which is from Matthew 13:49 which states: ‘So it will be at the end of the age the angels will come forth to take out the wicked and throw them into the furnace of fire’. I’ve put the new posters below which you can click to enlarge.

Legion stars Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson, Kate Walsh, Adrianne Palicki, Charles S. Dutton and Willa Holland. Here’s the plot written by someone on IMDb:

After a terrifying biblical apocalypse descends upon the world, a group of strangers stranded in a remote truck stop diner in the Southwest unwittingly become humanity’s last line of defense when they discover the diner’s young waitress is pregnant with the messiah.

We can expect to see Legion, directed by Scott Stewart on our screens in the UK 5th March 2010. You can view the red band trailer which looks awesome here.

Here’s the new trailer for Women in Trouble. The movie stars Carla Gugino, Connie Britton, Marley Shelton, Adrianne Palicki and Josh Brolin with an English accent and black eyeliner – both of which you’ll get to hear and see in this new trailer.

Synopsis: A pregnant porn star, a couple of call girls, a scorned psychiatrist, a teenage goth, a flight attendant with a crush on a famous passenger”¦ the troubles of this cluster of LA women couldn’t be more different, but on one crazy day feminine compassion will alter all of their lives. Devilish humor, razor-sharp scripting, and a knockout ensemble of talented actresses (including Carla Gugino, Connie Britton, and Marley Shelton) turn trouble into pure pleasure.
