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…
Not a whole to crow about on DVD this week. In fact, there’s only three new releases (not counting the de facto Straight-to-DVD travesties) of any real note landing on shelves this week. And two of those are movies that you don’t remember existed (or at least that Robert De Niro starred in one of them). What a shame!
Luckily, the third DVD is probably the most exciting DVD release (for me) that I can remember. A TV series so beloved that I had to make it my Twitter Avatar. What is it?

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…
The Cannes Film Festival has announced the competition lineup for 2011 and it’s a stunner, featuring a hotshot collection of directors that range from Terrence Malick, the Dardenne brothers, Pedro Almodovar, Lars Von Trier, Nanni Moretti, and Woody Allen according to The Hollywood Reporter. Robert De Niro will be heading up the festival’s VIP jury.
Robert De Niro fans, you won’t have to wait much longer until the actor, who is so choosey that he only appears in films once or twice a decade, appears in his next film (kidding, kidding, I know he stars in schlock every year—I just thought that maybe if I wished it hard enough, it’d come true), as he is set to star in Red Lights, the new film from Buried director, Rodrigo Cortes.
Get ready to go on a drug binge this weekend with director Neil Burger’s adaptation of the Alan Glynn novel, Limitless starring Bradley Cooper as a drugged up NZT addict. I received an NZT pill a while ago with a key containing an ad with Bradley Cooper selling NZT — I have yet to try it, but if the experience is anything like it is in the film, it could be fun! Find out more about the film below… Continue Reading
An international one sheet has been released for the upcoming sci-fi thriller Limitless, which stars Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro. At first glance it looks as if both actors have been attacked by the airbrush monster, but don’t take our word for it. You be the judge. The film is directed by Neil Burger and based on a novel written by Alan Glynn. Check out the poster below…
Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner and TV spots are dropping left and right. Usually we don’t get to see anything until the big game but the movie studios have decided to step things up a notch. Several film ads have already been released this week, and the latest is for Neil Burger’s Limitless. Check it out…
Oscar winner Robert De Niro isn’t looking to star in his own TV show, but he will produce one! According to EW, the actor has struck up a deal with the CBS network to produce a new crime drama called “Rookies,” and guess what it will center on? Cops! It’s always either cops, doctors, or lawyers with these people isn’t it?
