PUNCTURE - trailer
Hello Chris Evans...
We recently saw him all buffed up and goody-two-shoes as Captain America and now we get to see him all grunged up as a drug addicted lawyer in the upcoming release PUNCTURE.

Dirty, dirty, dirty.
I was just trawling this morning for good gossip to share with you whilst waiting for some files so I can get to work, when I stumbled across some more news regarding the DIRTY DANCING remake.
Deadline is reporting that MONTE CARLO screen writer Maria Maggenti will take control of the script to the remake. As you may well know the original centers around the Baby (a privileged teen spending the summer with her family at a holiday camp) and Johnny (a broody, dance instructor from the wrong side of the tracks) and the love that develops between them when baby helps Johnny with a floor-show.
I'm not sure what direction Maggenti is going to take with the remake, but after seeing the trailer for MONTE CARLO I'm pretty sure it's not going to be a good one! See for yourself.

THE RUM DIARY - trailer
I don't care what the film is if it has Johnny Depp in it...in fact I saw THE TOURIST twice just because he was in it. But when you couple Johnny Depp with a screenplay based on Hunter. S Thompson's novel you've really got me excited!!
Also starring Aaron Eckhart, Amber Heard, Giovanni Ribisi and Richard Jenkins this trailer certainly has me wanting more!

MY WEEK WITH MARILYN - poster art
First poster art released of the upcoming pic MY WEEK WITH MARILYN starring Michelle Williams as the platinum siren and Kenneth Branagh as Arthur Miller. Also starring Emma Watson, Dominic Cooper, Dame Judi Dench and Eddie Redmayne. I think I like the first one better.
THE WOLVERINE - Hugh Jackman, Ken Watanabe & Naturi Naughton
Here's one film that's really struggling to get off the ground!
Darren Aronofsky signed on to direct with shooting commencing in March this year and then pulled out shortly before shooting was to commence. I was slightly crushed then because a) I love Darren Aronofsky and b) I really want to see this movie! Anyway good old Hugh promised us THE WOLVERINE would be in front of cameras by October and that's only 2 months away. Unfortunately they have hit yet another snag - location. Most of the script takes place in Japan and so most of the filming was set to be done on location in Japan. The giant earthquake and all the issues post-earthquake have really complicated things with Fox looking to pull out of Japan entirely and rely on sets and CGI to make up for the lack of location footage.
On top of all that it's looking less and less likely that filming will begin in October to allow Hugh to film LES MISERABLE. Very sad face indeed. Although I do want to see this version of LES MIS.
All you die-hard X-Men and Wolverine fans needn't worry though! The delay is really not going to have any major effect on whether the project goes ahead! 1) it's already green-lit and 2) X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE grossed nearly $400million US worldwide and Fox really want to cash in on that with a sequel! Filming might not start until early next year.

IN TIME - trailer
IN TIME looks thrilling and exciting and the sci-fi element is not so weird that it turns me off wanting to watch it. Justin Timberlake is growing on me as an actor although I'm still not 100% convinced, and there are plenty of other familiar faces both well-known and up-and-coming to leave me wanting more.
It's sometime in the future and time has replaced money as currency. No one lives past 25 and working hard buys you more time. Super interesting concept and a little scary to think about. Set to hit screens in Australia on October 27 and I can't wait. Trailer rates 4 out of 5 with me. Hopefully the film lives up to it!
CLOUD ATLAS - Jim Sturgess, Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving & more
OMG!! You know how I love a good book adaptation and think that there should be more of these instead of crappy remakes (stupid Kenny Ortega!) and this is promising to be yet another good one!
Already boasting a stand out cast including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Susan Sarandon and Hugo Weaving (go team OZ), one of my fave boys has been confirmed for a role in this adaptaion of David Mitchell's novel CLOUD ATLAS. YES!!!
This adaptation has a modest budget so it's surprising to see so many big names attached, they must seriously believe in this picture which is always a good sign for the viewer! The Wachowski siblings (who brought us THE MATRIX) and German filmmaker Tom Tykwer (RUN LOLA RUN) have co-written and will be co-directing this film set to be shot in Germany's Studio Babelsberg. Word on the street is that each actor will play a variety of characters in each of the six worlds of the story and id that's not excitement enough here's what Jim Sturgess had to say about it to The Playlist:
"[All the actors] play a few characters, it’s very clever what [the directors are] gonna try and do. I’m really really really excited about it. I think it’s going to be bonkers, it’s either going to work or it’s not. I’m really excited to see if we can pull it off, because it’s ambitious what they want to do. And it’s nice, you feel like no one’s ever done that in a film before, it’s like rep theater on a sort of giant movie scale.”
I've not read the book yet, but I will be rushing out tomorrow to grab myself a copy and add it to the pile of books on my bedside table that I have to read before the film comes out (including WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN). The story apparently follows six plot threads across time including a bisexual musician in the 30s, a clone in a futuristic dystopia and a female journalist in a thriller in 1970s California.
I will let you know how I go with the book, but what I've read of the plot so far and the cast that's attached to this project I am very excited!!
