Jesse Eisenberg (The Squid and the Whale, Roger Dodger) is in the final stages of signing on for Ruben Fleisher’s (this being his first major feature film) Zombieland, a zombie comedy. It is said that Eisenberg would play a shut-in who is an expert at surviving zombies, but not at being around people.

Sounds interesting. Let’s hope it can be as good as Shaun of the Dead without feeling like a cheap ripoff. I imagine we’ll hear more about it over the next few weeks. Keep your eyes peeled.

One month, eight days, and counting. One month, eight days and counting…

Are You looking forward to the new Bond? If not, why do you have a death wish? Just kidding, but seriously, why do you want to die?

Now, I am not generally a fan of 3D movies. It usually feels like a gimmick, something added on at the last moment just to make themselves feel like mavericks. But I can say with 100% conviction that I am going to go see TR2N (Tron 2 to those humans among us) on opening day, after reading AICN’s interview with the director. In the interview, he also announced that the film should be able to make it out in time to for a late 2010 release.

What do you think of 3D movies? Are you looking forward to Tron 2?

The Changeling is the story of Christine Collins’ missing son in 1928. The Los Angeles Police department was desparately looking for good publicity, so when they found a boy claiming to be her son they gave him to her. She then set off to try to find out what happened to her real son. Check out the trailer below.

Hopefully this role will made up for some of Jolie’s well…crappy roles, namely Wanted. It opens to a limited engagement October 24th.

Number one, how did I miss this information, and number two, for god’s sakes why? Why make another? Also, why is it a prequel to the third one? Does that make any sense…no it doesn’t. NONE.

You know you are doing well as a director when the opening credits to your newest movie are being displayed on the internet…not even the trailer. Enjoy.

RocknRolla opens October 31st…which can’t come soon enough.

Role Models is one of those movies that could either be amazing or horrible but not in between. Watch the trailer and then cross your fingers firmly.

Warning: The following song is infectious and cause the consistent humming of it for the next twenty-four hours.

Check out the sweet Japanese montage for Ponyo on the Cliff. This is the next Hayao Miyazaki feature film to come after Howl’s Moving Castle (2004). Hopefully the story of a fish princess longing to be human with the help of a five-year-old boy will be much more compelling than his previous effort. I am expecting to be blown away from the man who has made Spirited Away (2002), quite possibly the best animated feature of this decade. For the record, Brad Bird’s The Incredibles (2003) is a nose behind.

While I’m on the upcoming animated beat, here’s the trailer for Disney’s The Princess and the Frog. Love the princess! Feel the frog’s pain! But I’m not sold on the firefly. Even the New Orleans French Quarter setting is inspired. The film reunites directors Ron Clements and John Musker since their work on Hercules, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and the criminally underrated classic The Great Mouse Detective. The princess will be voiced by the very fine Anika Noni Rose (Dreamgirls, 2006). The reliable John Goodman (Barton Fink, 1991) will also do a voice.

After four years, this is the first traditionally hand-drawn animated feature film released by Disney since Home on the Range (Anyone remember it? Anyone?). Thank the 2D-gods that John Lasseter has been instrumental in getting the Mickey Corporation to reconsider forgoing the animation method that has been the backbone of their industry for over eighty years. Hopefully this will be Disney’s return to form right after all of that magic dust Pixar has been sprinkling over it. “Sorry, Tink!”

Geeks of Doom have reported that Troy Duffy has plans to make the sequel to the classic Vigilante flick calling it “Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day”. Basically, what you can expect is lots of new guns and lots of new action… The Geeks break the story line down as follows…

The boys (Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery) and their father Il Duce (Billy Connolly) have been living in seclusion, deep in Ireland on a sheep farm, away from everything, when Il Duce’s brother comes to tell them that a priest was murdered in Boston and it was set up to look like it was done by the Saints.

The boys rush back to deal with it, while they’re supposedly ailing father stays on the farm. There’s a new character who’s kind of the Rocco character named Romeo; funny, but much more bad ass. As soon as the brothers land, they start picking off anyone who may be tied to this framing. Willem Dafoe is not in the sequel, a new FBI detective comes into play — a female with a strong southern accent. She wants to catch the Saints and is working with some of the detectives in the first movie (like Bob Marley) who, as we know, decided the Saints were good and began helping them, but they don’t think she knows this, so they need to go with that. Eventually their father comes back into play and tells them what’s going on, which sets in motion a full-on flashback of the story of Il Duce from day one.

Hell yeah I’m excited about this. I loved Boondock Saints, apart from its really good humour and very likeable characters, it did give everybody who watched it a debate to rage about, either within themselves or with their friends. Is vigilante justice a good thing or a bad thing?

I’ll hold my opinion for now but I can’t wait for this one to come out. there are no further details I can dig up but stay in touch there might be more later

The final trailer for The Dark Knight has just been released to the public. It was initially shown at Wizard World ‘07. Enjoy.
