What do you need to really know about Killer Elite before you see it? It has the words “Killer” and “Elite” in the title, the trailers have a ton of action, Jason Statham stars, and Robert De Niro and Clive Owen are in it. It’s only missing ninjas. Or is it?? Wait, it is, but it does have a lot of other things to look forward to…
Even tied to a chair, Jason Statham is a formidable foe – at least int he new trailer for Killer Elite. No, it’s not a remake of the old (and not particularly good) Sam Peckinpah film, and yes that’s Statham going toe to toe with Clive Owen. And, yes, that’s Robert De Niro brawling like a man half his age (or with good stuntpeople). Check it out…
Clive Owen is mad as hell, and he’s not going to take it anymore! The British actor headlines the upcoming thriller Trust, which is directed by former “Friends” star David Schwimmer. The film takes us on an extremely dark journey that mixes The Social Network with Taken. If that sounds like something you’re interested in seeing, check out the trailer…
Last October we reported on Clive Owen’s latest film entitled, Trust. It’s a dramatic thriller directed by David Schwimmer (yep, Ross from “Friends”) and co-stars Catherine Keener. That was then, this is now and its first teaser trailer has been released. Get your first peek at Owen and Keener in Trust…
It sounds like Clive Owen is ready to make a return to more action oriented roles with his latest gig entitled, The Killer Elite. According to Variety the Oscar nominated actor will star alongside Jason Statham in the Gary McKendry directed film. When was the last time we saw Owen let off some serious rounds? Was it Shoot’em Up because we blocked that film out of our memory.
Clive Owen and Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds) are to team up in the thriller Intruders, the newest film from 28 Weeks Later director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Fresnadillo has been developing an adaptation of the popular video game Bioshock for quite a while now. It seems like Intruders will now take precedent over that. I don’t understand why, as video game adaptations always do so well! (See: Hitman, Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros., Tomb Raider, and every other video game adaptation… ever).
Former Friends star David Schwimmer is establishing quite the directing career for himself. Besides the feature comedy Run, Fat Boy Run, he’s helmed several tv shows including the series Little Britain. According to Variety, he’s been hired to take on another film gig, and this time it will be a Millennium Films drama entitled, Trust.
Wow! What an excellent week for DVDs. No fewer than seven new features are hitting shelves with even more TV series coming to disc as the fall TV season approaches.
And these aren’t pushovers either. Sunshine Cleaning, “House”, “Californication”, Duplicity, and “NCIS” all explode onto shelves alongside the three worst DVDs of the week and some interesting special editions.

Sin City 2 has been on the back burner for a few years, but lately there have been hints of progression. We heard that Frank Miller has finished the second draft of the screenplay, via co-stars Rosario Dawson and Jamie King, and the production could start anytime from this spring to next year. The biggest casting rumor that’s been surrounding the film concerns Academy Award winning actress, Angelina Jolie. She has been “attached” to star in the movie for a while, but she’s never commented on any definite involvement. Yet, as of late the developing sequel has been gaining momentum, and Jolie’s name has once again popped up as it’s possible star.
