Martin Scorsese’s adaptation of the children’s novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret has officially begun production and he picked up a few new cast members just in the nick of time. According to THR, Oscar nominee Jude Law along with Ray Winstone, Christopher Lee, Frances de la Tour and Richard Griffiths have all joined Scorsese’s 3D flick.
This is a rather interesting first look at Rango. We don’t know too much about the film other than it’s a “story of a chameleon with an identity crisis.” Vague, but lets run with it! The ad is definitely intriguing and probably even more so if you’re in anyway intoxicated. It’s extremely simple and quite effective and makes you NEED to know more.
What we also know about the film is that it’s directed by The Ring and Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 director Gore Verbinski. The teaser below is reminiscent be of that crazy crab scene in the second Pirates movie, only this time, that insanity seems to be the main premise for the film or at least this clip….
A trailer has finally been released for Martin Campbell‘s latest film, Edge of Darkness. The film stars Mel Gibson as a former Boston detective whose daughter is murdered, causing him to take matters into his own hands by searching for her killer. The screenplay was written by Oscar winning scribe William Monahan (The Departed), and looks like a worthy follow up to his previous work.

The British drama London Boulevard just got infused with some more European flare. The film is the directorial debut of Oscar winning screenwriter William Monahan, and currently stars Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell. According to RopeofSilicon three more British actors have just been added to the cast in the form of Ray Winstone (above), Anna Friel, and David Thewlis.
It looks as if someone’s decided to take a risk and invest in Mel Gibson’ s career again. Last November Gibson wrapped a project entitled Edge of Darkness, which he shot with Ray Winstone and Danny Huston. For months the film has been looking for a distribution home, and finally it’s found one. According to Variety, Warner Brothers has decided to take the plunge and has acquired the rights to the film. The feature is based on the BBC miniseries of the same name, which”centered on a veteran homicide detective for the Boston Police Dept, whose only child is murdered on the steps of his home.”
Mickey Rourke is hot right now with The Wrestler building up Oscar hype, mainly due to his performance, but that isn’t slowing down his work schedule. Currently he’s playing a Texas cowboy in Director Géla Babluani’s remake of 13 Tzameti. Babluani wrote and directed the original and is returning to the project to make an American version. Sounds like a challenge. The cast is definitely interesting. The film stars Rourke, Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, Ray Winstone and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
This could be great of it could just fall of the face of film-earth. We’ll see! The trailer for the original film is below the jump.
