The cast of the Fast and Furious movies has become such that now each new film adds more players to the roster, along with past cast members who may or may not have been killed off in previous adventures. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne Johnson are due back, but what about the new players, and some of the people hinted at returning at the end of Fast Five?
Time for another dramatic romance thanks to Tribeca Film and Miramax! They have just officially announced today that they will be teaming up on the U.S. release of Last Night, which they are calling “an intricately layered relationship drama.” Sounds like every relationship story out there, the question is, is it any good? It’s got a cast that can go either way; Keira Knightley, she either puts in an Oscar nominated performances or something middle of the road (if the script isn’t there); Sam Worthington, we’re used to seeing him in action roles so it’ll be interesting to see how he is when he has to just stand and deliver a line; and then there is the always sexy, and often talented Eva Mendes and Guillaume Canet, the French actor that no one really knows — but soon will. Sounds like this film can go either way for me! At least now with Tribeca Film and Miramax’s help we’ll all have the chance to judge!
Adam McKay’s latest film The Other Guys opens in theaters this weekend and it will feature plenty of buddy cop antics from Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell but who cares about them? It’s their co-star Eva Mendes who exposes her “real talent” when she sings her heart out on the song, “Pimps Don’t Cry.” Who knew she could sing? Furthermore, who knew she had a music video? We didn’t but there is one and you can watch it below…
This past weekend we sat down to a press conference with some of the cast members of The Other Guys to talk about their upcoming mock-buddy-cop comedy. Writer/Director Adam McKay, Will Ferrell, Michael Keaton, Eva Mendes and Mark Wahlberg were all in attendance and ready to perform for the flip cams! Between Ferrell joking about forcing his children to watch him in Elf even after they start crying to Keaton grinding on Wahlberg and trying to coax him into a fight, it was more of a show than an informative event.
What the madness unfold below…
Hold on to your buddy cop movie cliches because the first trailer for Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg’s comedy The Other Guys has hit the net. The film is directed by frequent Ferrell collaborator Adam McKay (Anchorman was awesome!) and co-stars the eternally cool Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson. There are explosions, there’s dancing, and there’s Batman…we mean Michael Keaton. Check it out…
A theatrical trailer for Werner Herzog‘s gritty drama, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans has been released. The film stars Nicolas Cage as the title character, a morally challenged lawman, who while trying to solve a murder exposes his own personal demons which include drug addiction, theft, and gambling. After watching this trailer you can easily see why the film has the word bad in front of the title.
Check out the trailer…
I just wrote a nice post on how Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is an obvious rip off of Abel Ferrara’s 1992 cult drama Bad Lieutenant. Conveniently a poster for the film has just been released for Werner Herzog‘s remake, I mean “reimagining”of the crime drama. As you can see Nicolas Cage has attached his once credible name to another piece of questionable material.
The following photo highlights the biggest reason I will not see this film in theaters…
I have to be honest, the original 1992 version of Bad Lieutenant scared me, and this remake is following suit. The original starred Harvey Kietel in the title role of a morally bankrupt law man. While trying to solve a murder he exposes his own personal demons which include drug addiction, theft, and gambling.
In the new version entitled, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, Nicolas Cage takes on the lead role, and he terrifies me in every way. View some official production photos below.
Matthew McConaughey and Eva Mendes are in negotiations to star in the upcoming indie drama, Southbound. According to Variety the two actors are circling the project that will be directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz. Overnight Production’s Rick Schwartz and Aaron Kaufman are co-producing the film that will take place between the Mexican and U.S. border.
