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. The film version has Gattica, Total Recall, Aeon Flux, and Ultraviolet written all over it. We’re not sure if that’s a good combination, so we’ll let you be the judge when you watch the trailer…

Here it is! The X-Men Origins: Wolverine press conference, with Gavin Hood, Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Ryan Reynolds, Will.i.iam, Lynn Collins, and Taylor Kitsch. Overall, everyone was in good spirits, happy to be promoting a film that deserves to be put out the way it was intended.

The highlights for me were Ryan Renolds and Liev Schreiber. Everything Reynolds says is hysterical, from joking about wearing a silver dress that Collins was tricked by Jackman into wearing, to teasing Hugh Jackman about the music he listens to. Schreiber on the other hand, I could listen to all day, equally funny, but in a much different way. The man has a quick wit and is not afraid to jest about himself (and his fears about getting “big” enough for the roll) or his good friend Hugh Jackman.

Check out what they all had to say below…

When I first looked at the news pictures that were just released for Wolverine I was reminded of something Liev Schreiber said in an interview that we did with him a while back where he talked about how much fun it was to shoot the film. He told us it was like being a kid playing cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians, he also told us, “I don’t think men really grow pass 22 intellectually. Physically we just get older and we’re less capable of doing the things you want to do, but you never stop wanting to do them.”

When I look at these pictures, I see what he means. He and Hugh Jackman look like they’re having too much fun. It’s like they are two incredibly buff kids running around an incredibly big back yard. The way that they’re screaming together in the one shot really makes them look bonded. I’m not sure what it is, but they really look like they’re having fun together (well, not in some other pictures).

Now that April is right around the corner, the marketing efforts for X-Men Origins: Wolverine is getting really heavy. The film opens on May 1, and has Hugh Jackman reprising the role he originated in the initial X-Men trilogy. I’ve found a new batch of photos that feature Wolverine, Sabretooth, Deadpool, Gambit, and Stryker in what looks like production stills from the film. Out of the eight that are featured I only see two that haven’t been shown in previous trailers or promos. One of them include the above image that has Logan/Wolverine standing in a boxing ring at a gym. You can check out the rest of the pics after the jump.

A new 60 second TV spot has been released for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This one is set up a little differently than the previous promos we’ve seen. Instead of giving us a glimpse of the film’s storyline, it just tells us what major characters will be featured. Whether or not I agree with the who’s who in this video is up for debate. I don’t want to spoil too much for you, so if you want to check out the video it’s available after the jump.

The final trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine has just been released! For the most part the trailer shows footage that we’ve already seen, mixed with a couple unfamiliar action sequences. There are a few shots of a young Cyclops that weren’t in the first, and more fight footage with Gambit, Deadpool, and of course Wolverine. After watching the trailer I’ve learned one important thing. Wolverine can use his claws for ANYTHING. He can open prison cells, start fires, shred trucks, and stab airplanes. It’s a bit much but this is an action movie, don’t we want some of the violence to verge on ridiculous?

Check out the trailer after the jump.

If you enjoyed Angelina Jolie in the summer action flick Wanted, you’re probably one of the many who are anticipating her latest film Salt. Jolie goes from assassin to spy in the movie, which originally had Tom Cruise attached as it’s star. Jolie will play Evelyn A. Salt, whom was previously known as Edwin when Cruise was in talks for the role. Over at USA Today, they have posted the first photos of the actress as the spy who the film’s producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura claims is “a character you never know.” Salt is directed by Phillip Noyce, and co-stars Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor. You can check out the full sized photos of Jolie in costume after the jump

The three day promotional event for X-Men Origins: Wolverine is officially over. On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday night the Fox Network aired three exclusive 60 second spots promoting the first X-Men spinoff, Wolverine. After careful examination I feel that I’ve gotten a better idea of what direction the story for the film will go in. Wolverine as a comic character has a very vague, and diluted past. So many different interpretations have been made about his origin, his age, and most importantly his claws.

Get a detailed recap of all three promos after the jump…
