We haven’t done much coverage on the film Passion Play, which stars Mickey Rourke and Megan Fox. The first big piece we ran on the film was prompted by Toby Kebbell dropping out and Bill Murray stepping into his role. Now we’ve got the first image from the movie, above, and a few quotes from Rourke about the production.
In true Rourke fashion, some of his comments are sure to piss a few people off. When an actor has worked with some of the people he has teamed with, saying that Megan Fox is “probably the best young actress I’ve ever worked with” is sure to get attention. Read on after the jump. Read More »
It’s a crazy, mixed up world and we are thankful for movies, excluding The Tooth Fairy starring The Rock, that offer proof. /Film’s Weekend Weirdness examines such flicks, whether in the form of a new trailer for a provocative indie, a mini review or…”what do you mean Merlin wasn’t real?!“ Attention hosers: it’s the return of FUBAR! And much more after the jump in this double-deep installment…

Hey, I didn’t know Jeff Bridges was in a remake of Logan’s Run! He looks really awesome in this first image from…oops. That’s Bridges in Tron Legacy, isn’t it? And is that a disc attached to his back, or is he just happy to have an Oscar nomination? Refresh yourself on details about the dual characters for Bridges and get a high-res version of the image after the break. Read More »

Disney have declared that we are in a season of Wonderland Wednesdays, an era of mid-week updates on the upcoming Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movie. Each week the studio releasing a new video, some new text copy and a nice, tidy little pile of art work. Wrangling it all into a single post would be quite tricky - not to mention fairly time consuming - but I certainly want to share what I consider to be the best bits.
After the break are the official Disney-issued character descriptions for five of the characters, alongside images of said characters. And then, there’s some more pictures too, including a close-up of the caterpillar that I found quite astonishing.

It’s worth remembering that the creation of concept art takes place specifically to explore a wide range of possibilities and to see which design routes will best suit the production, and as such, a piece of concept artwork does not necessarily represent the look of the film. Having said that, such images can sometimes reveal a little about the thought processes taking place, and the approach of the artists who are in the production’s employ.
After the break are a series of alleged design drafts for Martin Campbell’s upcoming Green Lantern picture. They reveal one possible look of some of the alien characters for the film, a look which will either get you excited or leave you despairing. Either way, don’t forget that a) the provenance of these images has not been fully proven and b) they might not be the preferred designs anyway.

Consider this photo like a letter from Paramount and Marvel saying, “yeah, we know that Sundance is dominating the movie biz right now, but hey, remember us?” Because, yes, that’s a new photo from Iron Man 2, and yes, it’s Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) driving his race car. Your guess is as good as mine that this takes place shortly before Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) cuts the car into a couple of pieces and attempts to do the same to Stark.
Too bad we can’t see a reflection of Whiplash somewhere, or anything else that would juice up the image a bit. But hey, it’s Downey, and he’s fun. Right? Probably best to just watch the trailer again.
