This weekend Oscar nominee Jude Law and Oscar winner Forest Whitaker will both take a step out of their comfort zones to star in a sci-fi action flick. Repo Men is the big screen adaptation of the novel Repossession Mambo by Eric Garcia who also penned the screenplay. With such acclaimed material on their hands and the original author on board with the script, how did this film turn into a convoluted and detached mess?
Someone needs to “repo” Repo Men stat…

A red band trailer has been released for the latest Jude Law film entitled, Repo Men. It’s a sci-fi thriller that’s based on the novel Repossession Mambo by Eric Garcia.

We just received more beautiful character posters for Spike Jonze’s upcoming masterpieces Where the Wild Things Are. We were just discussing Jonze’s choice to use men in suits rather than CGI and how that choice helped in creating the magic and beauty behind the film, and these posters are a perfect example of that. When you look at the close up of The Bull above, you can see how tactile the hair feels and how piercing the eyes are. The whole thing could be a painting.
Below are five new posts including, Paul Dano as “Alexander,” Chris Cooper as “Douglas,” Forest Whitaker as “Ira,” Michael Berry Jr. as “The Bull,” and another shot of James Gandolfini as “Carol.”
Check them out now in our gallery…

Has the the world gone certifiably insane? I just came across some disturbing casting news which I’m having a hard time dealing with. According to AICN, Forest Whitaker will not be featured in Sylvester Stallone’s action flick The Expendables. This is so sad. He was one of the people who could have brought some real acting talent to the film. In place of Whitaker, Sly has tapped rapper-turned-actor Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson! (Pause) Don’t worry, I had the same reaction as you. I was completely shocked. What makes Stallone think that 50 and Whitaker are on the same level?

Jamie Fox somehow managed to get Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker, Samuel L. Jackson (that’s not too big of a surprise he’s in everything), and Ron Howard of all people, to show up in his new rap video for “Blame it on the Alcohol” (a blatant Grey Goose ad). How the hell did that happen? Are we really supposed to believe that Ron Howard roles up in a convertible Bentley and parties with Furries and Kristal? Are times really that bad that these three actors have had to show up in Fox’s rap video? Or is Fox just REALLY persuasive?
And the song isn’t even that good! Check out the video below…

It looks as if X-Men Origins: Wolverine front man Liev Schreiber will be moonlighting as an action star for a while. According to CinemaBlend, Schreiber is in negotiations to star opposite Angelina Jolie in the spy thriller, Salt. In the film “Angelina plays a CIA officer accused of being a Russian sleeper agent. She must elude capture long enough to prove her innocence.” Schreiber’s character is for lack of a better word “top secret” at the moment, but sources say it’s a major role. Salt will be directed by Phil Noyce and starts principal photography next month in New York City.
