The first teaser trailer has been released for Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal’s reboot, Predators. Just a few days ago Rodriguez gave an exclusive sneak peek into the new Predator world at the opening of the SXSW Film Festval and now the official teaser is finally here. Are you ready for a new generation of aliens to hunt you down? Here’ s the trailer…
What in the Oscar winning hell is going on here? I love Robert Rodriguez, but I would have never thought in a million years that he could get Adrien Brody to do a Predator movie. According to THR, the actor has signed on for the lead role in Predators, which will be produced by Rodriguez and directed by Nimrod Antal. Brody will also be joined by several other name supporting cast members, including a That ’70’s Show alum.
A video clip has been released from Vincent Natali’s upcoming science fiction film, Splice. The film features Oscar winner Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley as two rebellious scientists who cross the lines of ethics and genetics with their experiments. They splice together human and animal DNA to form a hybrid creature, that grows from a deformed infant to a winged human chimera named Dren.
Take a look at Dren’s humble beginnings in this clip…
Here’s a stretch. According to THR, the creator of the now defunct Prison Break Paul Scheuring, is ready to make his feature directorial debut. The film is entitled The Experiment, and is an American remake of the Oliver Hirschbiegel 2001 German film of the same name. The featured cast is sprinkled with everyone from Oscar winners to former models.

New photos keep coming for Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox. The film which has an all-star cast of actors including George Clooney (as Mr. Fox himself), Meryl Streep (Mrs. Fox), Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, and Anjelica Huston (I mean the list goes on and on), is set to be released in the U.K on October 26th. Fantastic Mr. Fox just had its world premiere at the Times London Film Festival.

It hasn’t been 10 years since the release of Oliver Hirschbiegel’s German film Das Experiment yet, but already a remake is on its way. Boy, does everyone love to remakes, no matter what the genre! Director Paul Scheuring will helm Adrien Brody, Forest Whitaker, Elijah Wood and Cam Gigandet in The Experiment starting next month in Iowa.
The original Das Experiment is based on the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment conducted in 1971. Check out more about the film below…
Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley star in the upcoming thriller Splice, set to release some time in September. Director Vincenzo Natali is sort of new to the scene and is best known for his movies Cube and Nothing.
In Splice, Clive, played by Brody, and Elsa, played by Polley, create a “beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera” named Dren. Clive and Elsa use a combination of human and animal DNA to create this odd and creepy looking creature. The idea of Splice plays off of 1995’s Species but thanks to modern technology is much more realistic and frightening. To view more pictures of Dren and the other characters in the movie check out Bloody Disgusting.

Winning an Academy Award must be a fantastic feeling. Just imagine, after years of hard work, one day your peers finally take note and say “you were the best this year.” Either that, or they say “sucks that you died so early, we really thought we’d get a chance to make it up to you for screwing you over in 2005. But better late than never, right?” Which ever way it happens, an Academy Award is a special moment, and everyone treats it as such. Or at least in a perfect world they would. Sometimes, they pull stunts like this instead…
It’s that time again. This Sunday, February 22, the 81st Annual Academy Awards will air on the ABC network. Every year one thing’s for certain, some nominees will take home a gold statue, while others will leave empty handed, which basically means someone will be disappointed. Any and everything that happens before the winners are announces means nothing once someone has a little gold man to hang on to. And yet people still talk about the “woulda, shoulda, couldas” of the night, especially when the sure thing, loses to the unexpected.
As much as everyone likes to bag on the Academy Awards for being stuffy and predictable, every once in a while you get thrown a curve ball. Sometimes it’s a refreshing surprise and other times it’s an complete snub. Over the eight decades that the Oscars have been awarded they’ve had their fair share of surprises and upsets that continue to be talked about years down the line.
Let’s take a walk down memory lane, and look at some of the greatest upsets in Oscar history.
