First Look: Jaden Smith in Karate Kid Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Columbia Pictures, Action, Drama, Remakes, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
“The only way to stop them is to face them” - Jackie Chan talking to Jaden Smith about
his Chinese bullies.
In this remake of The Karate Kid, the drama has shifted from Los Angeles to Beijing, chopsticks have been coupled with a fly swatter and “wax on, wax off” has been replaced with “pick up your jacket.” Otherwise, I think the story’s pretty much about the same…? (I’ll let you decide whether that’s a good thing or not.)
The martial arts action kicks in June 11.

First Look: Angelina Jolie in Salt
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Columbia Pictures, Sony, Action, Thrillers, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
In this new trailer for Salt, Angelina Jolie rocks heels, climbs walls and wields guns. In other words, it’s your typical day for the mother of six.
The film, which was originally set to star Tom Cruise, tells the story of a CIA agent who may or may not be a Russian spy. While the story reminds me a great deal of Kevin Costner’s No Way Out, the visuals are more in line with Jolie’s Wanted.
Salt - also starring Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor - opens July 23.

Adam Sandler, Cross-Dresser

The papers have been inked, and Adam Sandler will become the titular star in the new comedy Jack and Jill. Actually, cancel that. He’s the titular stars. That’s right…he’s playing both roles.
In the film, Jack and Jill are twins and the theme is romance. I’m already feeling kind of bad for the guy who’s playing Jill’s love interest…aren’t you?
The Happy Madison project is scheduled for a 2011 release.

Inglourious Basterds: Tarantino’s Most Challenging Film Yet
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Universal, Weinstein Company, Action, Adventure, Drama, Period, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Quentin Tarantino recently admitted that Inglourious Basterds was hard work and has taken over as the most challenging of his career.
The cult movie director began drafting the script for the bloodied action movie over a decade ago and altered it several times over the years before completion last summer. “This is the toughest film I’ve ever made. It’s my Mount Everest movie. Kill Bill was hard, but this was harder,” Tarantino stated.
The 46-year-old says he drew inspired for the storyline from a “f**king cool” movie from the 70s. He explained to Loaded magazine: “I got it from a 1978 spaghetti western called Inglourious Bastards. It was about a bunch of guys fighting in Germany and were condemned to be court-martialed, when their prison convoy gets attacked by Nazis. They escape, so they have to find a way out. They try and get to Switzerland - a neutral country - but they have to battle their way through Germany first. It’s just a really f**king cool story. It was so cool that I wanted to come up with an equally cool film.”
Quentin’s version of Inglourious Basterds opens in the US on August 21.
