In keeping with his promise that his Hercules will be the more grounded alternative to Brett Ratner's, Die Hard 2 director Renny Harlin has found himself a hero with a slightly less ridiculous musculature than The Rock.
Horning in on Andy Serkis's thriving knuckle-dragging business, Twilight's Kellan Lutz put on a ball-covered spandex suit and crawled around on all fours to motion-capture the lead role in a new, 3D, animated take on Tarzan. Here's a trailer, in which Tarzan basically acts and looks like Tarzan, but maybe with more wristbands than usual. This Tarzan totally supports a lot of causes.
In a rare instance of simian-esque casting that does not involve covering Andy Serkis in balls, Twilight's Kellan Lutz and Resident Evil's Spencer Locke have been chosen to provide the lead motion-capture performances for Constantin Films' Tarzan movie.
Want to see Samuel L. Jackson feasting, dancing with Asian babes, and delivering dialogue with all the subtlety of his performance in Frank Miller's The Spirit? Of course you do. That's why Sam Jackson mixes in all these Snakes on Planes and xXx: State of the Unions amongst his other, less shitty films: because he knows you want to see this. Also because Samuel L. Jackson really loves a paycheck.
In Arena, Jackson plays the head of some kind of powerful futurecompany that somehow has the power to force guys into gladiator-style battles. These battles are streamed online and end when the viewing public clicks their choice of "stay" or "kill"--the latter proving popular for finally giving internet users the "dislike" option they'd been rallying to get for so long. It's a fine business model for Jackson, and it affords him the luxuries of dancing Asian babes and a boardroom covered in excessive food platters, but his authority comes into question when his latest recruit--this bleached hair guy from Twilight--refuses to fight. This makes Sam Jackson shout a lot. Anyway, here's the terrible trailer:
After serving as screenwriter for all three Bourne films, Michael Clayton director Tony Gilroy has at last been handed the keys to the franchise and given the chance to make a Bourne all his own. Kudos, Tony Gilroy. One caveat to that, though: Matt Damon is out, and with him goes the character of Jason Bourne, making this not that much of a Bourne movie after all. Instead, Variety promises, we're going to see "a new assassin with a similar background"--you know, just another killer psychogenic amnesiac--on screen, and Universal is already lining up actors to potentially play That's So Bourne. According to the trade, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire, Garrett Hedlund, Taylor Kitsch, and Kellan Lutz are all up for the part, while Deadline adds Joel Edgerton, Josh Hartnett, Paul Dano, Michael Pitt, Oscar Isaac, Michael Fassbender, Luke Evans, Alex Pettyfer, and Benjamin Walker to the list. So, basically, anyone you could ever imagine playing a Bourne guy is up for the part. As is Paul Dano.
