Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis get naked, have casual sex
Nov 07Screen Gems have released the first trailer for their upcoming sex comedy Friends With Benefits, starring pop star-turned-actor-guy-in-heaps-of-movies Justin Timberlake and Meg Griffin’s voice, Mila Kunis.
Not sure what to expect? I wasn’t sure, either. I can tell you I didn’t expect this snappy little trailer to be as sexy as it is, nor as funny. Yeah, funny– it actually looks like it might play out as one of those easy-to-kick-back-to films, one where getting deep and technical about the film will be a waste because it’s only out to achieve three basic things:
- Look sexy
- Be funny
- Make money
Also, it appears there’s a decent little support role for good ol’ Woody Harrelson. That guy is crazy.
Friends With Benefits will be released 22 July 2011 in the States. No Australian dates have been announced yet.
A young female headhunter (Mila Kunis) in New York convinces a potential recruit (Justin Timberlake) to leave his job in San Francisco behind and accept a job in the Big Apple. Despite an attraction to each other, both realize they’re everything they’ve been running from in a relationship and decide to become friends… with benefits. It’s the perfect arrangement–until they realize there’s no such thing as no strings attached.
First trailer for RABBIT HOLE starring Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart
Oct 25
Lionsgate have released the first trailer for John Cameron Mitchell‘s Rabbit Hole, starring Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight, Thank You For Smoking) and Dianne Wiest (Edward Scissorhands, I Am Sam). Watch the trailer embedded below.
Moving cello, thoughtful posturing and ferocious acting ensure the Rabbit Hole trailer cannot be mistaken for anything else but a deep and powerful moody drama. But don’t worry, there’s also a strumming guitar and clips of some happy times, albeit coupled with even more though-provoking posturing.
I’m still not sure how I feel about this one. The subject matter– a young couple dealing with the loss of a child– isn’t exactly something I’d seek out to be entertained while watching a film. I’m sure it’s very confronting and causes great reflect, but as a father of two very young boys, I’m thinking I’d rather spend two hours watching something else entirely. That is, until they grow older and I don’t have to live in fear of that situation taking place.
I’m scared enough and already over-protective as a parent. Last thing I need is a Nicole Kidman film to inject an intolerable amount of fear into me.
Rabbit Hole opens to limited screens in the US on 17 December 2010.
Expect to see it Down Under early 2011.
Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, Oprah Winfrey starring a film being directed by the Sex and the City guy
Oct 25
Comingsoon reports Oscar winners Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock will co-star with Oscar nominee Oprah Winfrey in a new comedy film (currently untitled) being directed by Michael Patrick King (Sex and the City) at Universal Pictures.
Talk about winning over the majority female audience in a single heartbeat. Cast lady-favorites Bullock, Streep and TV legend Winfrey in a film directed by ‘the Sex and the City guy’. They don’t even need to name him, just display the title card during the trailer: From the director of Sex and the City. Then the already-intrigued will see who it stars and BAM! Universal’s work is done. Cash it in.
Plot? Story? Those things will only be added bonus. But in case you are actually interested, the film will be set around the world of a home shopping TV network and follows the characters as they make their way through the maze of mania that surrounds marketing, marriages and the media. I can already hear the girlie cackles.
Director Michael Patrick King is also writing. No word on when the film is expected to arrive, nor who the hunky male co-stars will be.
Second trailer for THE TOURIST: the sexy, action-packed version
Oct 09
Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp are starring in a movie together. That’s the majority of the box office taken care of right there.
The film, The Tourist, has potential to really take off should it turn out to actually be good. If the first trailer felt kind of OK and enjoyable, this second trailer plays it up like a sexy non-stop action packed thrill-fest starring two of the sexiest people in Hollywood. That goes a long way to helping its cause.
Then there’s that blatantly plain and obvious poster (below).
I still don’t know if I’m looking forward to this because of the people it stars or the fruity plot. Wither way, I’m going to see it.
The Tourist opens 10 December, 2010 in the States, Boxing Day in Australia (for all those unAustralians who won’t be at or watching the cricket).
New trailer and poster for Danny Boyle’s 127 HOURS starring James Franco
Oct 09
After winning 2009′s Best Picture Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire, director Danny Boyle’s string of successful films seems set to continue with 127 Hours, starring James Franco (Spider-Man, Milk).
A second trailer has arrived online and shows Boyle is still on a roll with his unique and damn-interesting-to-watch style is at the forefront. 127 Hours is based on the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston’s remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah.
127 Hours opens 5 November, 2010 in the States.
No Aussie dates have been announced yet.
