WTF: Bruce Willis Has His Own Fragrance By Adam Quigley/July 6, 2010 8:40 pm EST To all those who have spent the past 22 years since Die Hard’s release harboring a secret desire to wear Bruce Willis’ scent, today is your lucky day. Geekosystem has relayed an announcement for his new fragrance, titled simply: BRUCE WILLIS. In big, bold letters. You know, because it’s manly. It’s said the aroma features hints of grapefuit, pepper and vetiver, which is disappointing for me, since I always assumed Bruce Willis gave off a scent of dirt, sweat, and terrorist blood....

‘Aliens’ Director James Cameron Reviews ‘Prometheus,’ Tried To Buy Rights To ‘Jurassic Park’ By Germain Lussier/Sept. 13, 2012 2:04 pm EST You can’t make the movies that James Cameron makes and not be a huge movie fan yourself. The director of the two highest grossing films of all time is currently stumping for the Titanic 3D Blu-ray and has been talking all about his Avatar sequels amongst other things. For example, as the first man to tackle the Alien franchise after Ridley Scott, Cameron has some thoughts on Scott’s return to the franchise with Prometheus....

‘Cyborg 009’ Movie In Development And Comics Coming To America By Germain Lussier/July 10, 2012 6:00 am EST In Japan, Cyborg 009 is basically the X-Men, Fantastic Four or Avengers. The first and most famous superhero team in Japanese history was created by the late Shotaro Ishinomori and follows a group of people who are given special powers by a huge corporation and then rebel against them. A manga has been running in various forms in Japan since the Sixties and, despite a brief English translation in last decade, has never been specifically adapted for American audiences....

‘Horrible Bosses’ Red-Band Trailer By Russ Fischer/June 27, 2011 12:53 pm EST Because the new standard for raunchy comedy advertising is based on tried and true red light district methods — show off the goods, in other words — here’s a new red-band trailer for the Jason Bateman / Charlie Day / Jason Sudeikis comedy Horrible Bosses. If you’ve missed the two previous trailers, the film features the three guys as hapless protagonists who enlist the aid of a ‘murder consultant’ (Jamie Foxx) in an attempt to do away with their three bosses, played by Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston....

‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ Lead Oscar Isaac Talks About The Film’s Musical Performance By Russ Fischer/July 31, 2012 3:00 pm EST This is pretty thin stuff, but it is a tidbit of new info — or corroborated info — about the new Coen Brothers film, Inside Lleywn Davis. We know that the inspiration for the movie is New York’s East Village folk scene that defined part of the musical landscape of the early ’60s, and that Oscar Isaac plays the title character, who is loosely based on real folk musician Dave Van Ronk....

‘Page Eight’ Teaser Trailer: Rachel Weisz And Bill Nighy Spar In A Spy Thriller By Russ Fischer/Aug. 17, 2011 3:00 pm EST Despite gaining attention in The Mummy and making the occasional appearance in something like Sam Raimi’s Oz: The Great and Powerful, Rachel Weisz has developed a talent for sidestepping most big studio movies in favor of more focused, and more adult fare. Her film The Whistleblower is just opening now, and she’s got three films appearing in the Toronto International Film Festival next month....

‘The Conspirator’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/Jan. 26, 2011 5:30 pm EST Robert Redford’s The Conspirator, starring Robin Wright as Mary Surratt, the one woman charged in the conspiracy to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln and James McAvoy as her lawyer, opened at the Toronto Film Festival last year. Now there is a full-length trailer for the film, which you can see after the break. I’m on an abominably slow connection at the moment so can’t actually watch the trailer....

Aaron Eckhart To Star In ‘I, Frankenstein’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 7, 2011 3:45 pm EST Early last year Lakeshore Entertainment became one of many companies to actively put a Frankenstein movie into development. In this case the property is I, Frankenstein, based on the graphic novel by Kevin Grevioux. The story is a contemporary fantasy/thriller based on Mary Shelly’s original gothic tale. It follows the monster, Adam Frankenstein, who has survived to the modern era and finds himself (itself?...

First Look: Rachel Weisz In ‘The Deep Blue Sea’ By Russ Fischer/Dec. 20, 2010 2:30 pm EST Rachel Weisz has a few interesting projects coming up. She’s got a role in Terrence Malick’s new film, (not The Tree of Life, but the one he’s been shooting recently, possibly called The Burial) and is set for Fernando Meirelles’ film 360 and may be in Lynn Shelton’s new film with Emily Blunt....

Is This The Plot Of The Wachowskis’ Next Film, ‘Jupiter Ascending’? By Russ Fischer/May 31, 2012 12:00 pm EST We know that Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum are the likely leads, but so far that’s just about all we’ve known, other than the title: Jupiter Ascending. Now some story and character details are finally starting to emerge, though there’s always the possibility with the secretive siblings that these points are either subject to change or deliberately misleading....

Joel Kinnaman Says The New ‘RoboCop’ Will Be “More Human” By Russ Fischer/March 26, 2012 4:30 pm EST I’m tempted to put this down in the “actors are usually the last to know” column, but there is probably something to this, given that costume tests and so forth have evidently commenced: Joel Kinnaman, recently chosen to be the new RoboCop for director José Padilha, is talking about the new suit designs....

He’ll just remain in front of the camera this time. Favreau will return as Happy Hogan, Tony Stark’s trusty driver who, in the comic books, eventually gets mutated into the Freak....

Maggie Grace And Guy Pearce Cast In ‘Lockout’, An Outer Space ‘Taken’ Clone From Producer Luc Besson By Russ Fischer/Aug. 4, 2010 5:47 pm EST Maggie Grace probably likes Luc Besson a lot — he produced Taken, in which she played the kidnapped daughter of Liam Neeson.

Mark Wahlberg Announces ‘The Fighter 2’ (Again) By Angie Han/June 9, 2011 9:30 am EST Mark Wahlberg hasn’t been shy about his desire to make a sequel to last year’s The Fighter, the Best Picture-nominated drama based on the life of boxer Micky Ward.

Those clips were a sales reel and an international trailer. Now that Roadside Attractions has taken a moment to plan a release pattern for the film, we have a domestic trailer to complement the previous ads....
