Oct 23 2008 Bardem is 'Biutiful', and I'm Comfortable Admitting That
Javier Bardem has been signed to star in Biutiful, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's upcoming film that spells "beautiful" with an... "i"? Weird. From Variety:
Javier Bardem will star in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "Biutiful," the Mexican helmer's first project after his much-publicized bust-up with former screenwriting partner Guillermo Arriaga.Spanish-language pic "Biutiful," which Gonzalez Inarritu wrote, shoots on location in Barcelona next week.
Pic is about a man embroiled in shady dealings who is confronted by a childhood friend, now a policeman.
Yikes, it's Gonzalez Inarritu's first film since breaking up with his writing partner. This could be weird. Hopefully the script won't have any awkward mentions of "someone staying out all night writing with his friends while I sit at home alone worrying, and writing" or "the way you ogle younger writers while we're out, writing." Don't make me pick sides!
Jun 18 2008 New 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' Trailer Has Studio Audiences Shouting "Wheeeeeeeeew!"
Woody Allen's celebrity Cinemax movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, has a new trailer--a series of clips that make it more and more clear that the auteur has filled the holes in his recently-spotty catalogue with much-needed girl kissin'. The trailer may also have some of Allen's famous repartee, but who can tell?
Jun 17 2008 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' Poster Makes No Mention of Notable Director, Girl-on-Girl Kissing
Yeah, don't make it obvious that this is a Woody Allen film. Who's that guy anyway? No need to mention him in any prominent way. But do mention that "life is the ultimate work of art," because that's the kind of meaningless, motivational poster statement that really sells a movie. That's why Iron Man was marketed primarily under the taglines, "You are what you dream" and "Teamwork."

May 13 2008 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' Trailer: Woody Allen Does Sexy
Like a primetime soap opera nearing sweeps, Woody Allen's latest, Vicky Cristy Barcelona, is full of torrid affairs and girl-on-girl kissing, and he's not above exclusively promoting those aspects in the new trailer. Thankfully, unlike a primetime soap, you won't feel that pathetic watching since the people are actually notable good-lookers; namely, Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, and Javier Bardem. Now the only hurdle standing between you and enjoyment is the thought of the leering, 72-year-old man behind the camera.

- Steven Moffat will write Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg's collaborative Tintin trilogy, adapting Herge's comic strip.

Sep 25 2007 'No Country For Old Men' Restricted Trailer and Images
As you can tell from his face, Javier Bardem really wants you to go to NoCountryForOldMen.com and watch the restricted trailer to the Coen Brothers' latest. What Javier Bardem's vacant stare won't tell you, however, is that the site has some jackassed age-detection system that often won't let you in, even with a valid ID. Luckily, you can see the new images here and the trailer below the cut, and the only age verification I ask is that you can correctly identify a couple Nirvana tracks.
