The Dark Knight Rises villain... Bane!

Click on the image to enlarge

Did you ever doubt Christopher Nolan for a minute?  Did you doubt that he would find a creative and original way to bring Bane to life?  Don't, don't ever doubt this man.  The image above is an official release from Warner Brothers of the new villain The Dark Knight Rises; which is of course the sequel to 2008's The Dark Knight. 

There was so much talk about how Nolan would make the character fit into the realistic world he's created for this Batman trilogy.  The picture shows Inception actor, Tom Hardy, ripped as can be.  I love the mask, it's dark, creepy and mysterious.  Nolan has been masterful at giving just enough to wet the appetite without giving anything away.  The way Bane is turned and looking back to the camera out of the corner of his eye is a little unsettling.

This is the first official glimpse into the third and final film, can you image what's still to come?  This is going to be an film of epic proportions, watch.

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg will re-team in Turkey Bowl

Last year, the unlikely duo of Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg struck gold at the box office.  I personally did not enjoy the film as much as I would have hoped.  I reviewed the movie and noted that although there were some funny moments, the movie didn't do it for me overall. 

Well, regardless of my thoughts on the film, Warner Brothers wants the duo back in action next year.  Warner Brothers acquired the rights Turkey Bowl.  Ferrell and Wahlberg play guys from two different football obsessed cities.  They're going to play a tackle football game for bragging rights.  Simple enough.  Hopefully this one will do more for me than The Other Guys.  I really like both actors in their own right, just hope Turkey Bowl delivers!

Four new posters showcasing Horrible Bosses

The new comedy, Horrible Bosses

Thanks to JoBlo, we get to see the four new posters for Horrible Bosses.  Just a few days ago I posed the trailer, and I loved it.  The cast is great, the story seems simple enough, and the comedy will definitely deliver.  Check out the three pairs of employee/bosses below!

Kevin Spacey plays Jason Bateman's boss

Jennifer Aniston plays Charlie Day's boss

Colin Farrell plays Jason Sudeikis' boss

Abin Sur gets his own Green Lantern poster

I think the tone and scope of the Green Lantern film is becoming more and more clear with every trailer and poster.  Here we see the latest poster for Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison), the green lantern who crash lands on Earth and gives Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) his ring.  So far the Summer has been to my liking, I hope this movie lives up to my high expectations.  Can't wait!

Zookeeper trailer, this is supposed to be funny?

This is a look at the new Kevin James "comedy", Zookeeper.  I better be careful with what I say right now. At first look, Paul Blart: Mall Cop looked ridiculous as well.  That movie went on to make a boat load of money!  Check out the trailer to Zookeeper and read my thoughts after.

Ok, wow.  Even Adam Sandler's voice as the monkey is terrible.  I mean, from a business perspective, I see what they're going for.  It's like Dr. Dolittle meets Night at the Museum sort of thing.  But step back and look at this trailer as unbiased as possible; it looks terrible!  I mean it looks really really bad!  Go figure Rosario Dawson is in ;0)

I'll absolutely be skipping this one at the theater as well as the dollar redbox; HBO on demand, you're my only friend.

Tim Burton will not direct Maleficent, a Harry Potter director might though

Tim Burton was set to direct a live-action spin off of Disney's Sleeping Beauty titled, Maleficent.  That was announced back in January of 2010.  Here we are a year and a half later and it appears that Burton is dropping out, stated The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie would have been told through the evil witch's perspective.  Angelina Jolie has long been rumored to star in the film.

Not to fear, it appears as though a very capable director may replace Burton.  How about David Yates for ya?  THR says the man who directed four of eight Harry Potter films may take over the reigns.  I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter films, more specifically the three Yates films that have been released.  He also directed the next and final film, set to be released in July of this year.

This doesn't mean Burton will be leaving Disney, as if they'd let him leave after a billion dollar success that was Alice in Wonderland.  No, he's already started working on a stop-motion adaptation of Frankenweenie, due out next year.  That's all for now, I'll post any updates as they come up.
