‘Shark Night 3D’ Trailer Arrives

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming horror film Shark Night 3D.

Not exactly a completely original premise, but at least it’s sharks in a lake instead of the ocean. And from the trailer it seems there is a person behind the shark attacks, so it’s kind of a slasher/shark attack movie. Not expecting much here, but maybe it’ll be better than it would seem. Will you see it?

Cringe Inducing ‘Happy Feet Two’ Teaser Trailer

Here’s the teaser trailer for the upcoming sequel Happy Feet Two.

First off, I’ve heard that the first Happy Feet movie was really good. That being said, it’s just not something that I enjoy. I’m all about real life stuff like March of the Penguins, but watching talking animated penguins is just not my cup of tea. This trailer is just too much for me, I was actually slightly nauseated after watching it. But for those of you and your kids who like this kind of thing, please, enjoy.

Orlando Bloom Confirmed for ‘The Hobbit’

Orlando Bloom is officially reprising his role of Legolas in the upcoming two part Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit.

Director Peter Jackson has confirmed that Orlando Bloom will reprise the role of the Legolas—the role he played in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy—in the epic two-part screen adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit,” now filming in New Zealand.

“10 years on, I’m thrilled to be working with Orlando again. I look older – he doesn’t! Orlando created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas, and we’re excited to be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more.”

This is news that most people had given up even hoping for, but the news came down the line on The Hobbit‘s official Facebook page this morning. It’s actually interesting how many characters are confirmed for this movie that don’t show up in the book. The news doesn’t say how he is involved with the story, but I’m sure it will be more than a cameo.

Bryce Dallas Howard Expecting Baby #2

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse‘s Bryce Dallas Howard has announced that she is pregnant with her second child.   Baby #2 will join the family that also includes big brother Theo Gabel,4, and dad Seth Gabel (Nip/Tuck and Fringe, among others).

(A pregnancy may explain some of her questionable fashion choices in Cannes.  It is SO HARD to find something comfortable to wear when you are pregnant.  I can’t imagine having to find red carpet worthy clothes in that state.)

Bryce has openly discussed her severe post-partum depression following her pregnancy with Theo.  Let’s hope for a healthy pregnancy and post-partum period for her this time.  Congratulations, Bryce!

Amy Winehouse Does Shots On The Way Back To Rehab

It’s back to the drunk tank for Amy Winehouse.  Despite her father Mitch Winehouse‘s claims about her “miraculous” and “fantastic” recovery back in 2009, she is back in rehab again.  Are you really surprised?  I mean, look at this, and this, and eeeww, this.

Amy checked herself in at the Priory drug rehab clinic in London this week.

Her spokesperson confirmed:

‘Amy Winehouse has embarked on a treatment programme at the Priory Clinic.  She wants to be ready for performances in Europe this summer and decided to seek an assessment.  She will remain at the Priory on doctors’ advice.’

At least she didn’t say “no, no, no.”

Evidently determined to make every last minute count, Amy was spotted picking up a mini bottle of Smirnoff vodka on her way to the Priory.

I have to admit, I am surprised that she can possibly still be alive, with all the chemical damage she’s done to her body.  Let’s hope for Amy’s sake that this round of rehab actually sticks.

Lindsay Lohan Turns Herself In, Begins House Arrest

Lindsay Lohan is in the clink again, sort of.  She began serving her house arrest term Thursday morning after turning herself in at the Lynwood Jail.   What’d she do now?  I know it’s hard to keep track of Lindsay’s various legal issues; she has so many.   She pulled four months of jail time for stealing a necklace, remember?  But since the jails are overcrowded, she’s evidently eligible for house arrest.   Lucky girl.

Lilo was processed, fitted with an ankle bracelet (something she’s used to), and sent home, where she’s expected to stay put for at least the next 35 days.  The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department explained:

“She is now confined to the interior premises of her home at all times.”

Certain, as-yet unspecified, exceptions could allow her to leave her home during her term.  However, one thing is for certain: she won’t be let out to work off the 480 hours of community service she’s also been sentenced to. She’s been forbidden to do community service while under house arrest.

It will be interesting to see whether any of this actually does Lindsay any good.   I’m not holding my breath, though.

First Look: Princess Merida in Pixar’s ‘Brave’

Here’s the first look at the main character Merida in the upcoming Disney/Pixar film Brave.

The rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland serve as the backdrop for Brave, a new tale that joins the lands ancient lore, stories of epic battles and mystical legends passed down for generations. Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, Brave is the grand adventure of Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald), a skilled archer who confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts to discover the true meaning of courage. The film also features the voices of Emma Thompson, Billy Connolly, Julie Walters, Kevin McKidd, Craig Ferguson and Robbie Coltrane. Brave, full of heart, memorable characters and Pixar’s signature humor, takes aim at theaters on June 22, 2012, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D in select theaters.

Very cool, I’m glad Pixar is venturing into the original fairy tale realm, who better to do it? This movie is amongst the many I’m excited about for next summer. Cars 2 should have the full trailer for Brave attached to it so we can get a glimpse at this likely excellent addition to the Pixar library. I’m beginning to wonder if Pixar is capable of making a bad movie.

Brad Pitt Narrating ‘Voyage of Time’

Brad Pitt is set to narrate the upcoming IMAX Documentary film Voyage of Time from director Terrence Malick.

The LA Times spoke to the producer, and among other things he confirmed that Brad Pitt will indeed narrate Voyage of Time as rumored two years ago. He explained that the film was back-burnered as they didn’t want to ‘cannibalize’ The Tree of Life, but that, as mentioned yesterday, Terrence Malick still very much wants to do the film.

Additionally, the LAT got hold of documentation for the film that is illustrated with “images of jellyfish, crocodile embryo, nebular clouds, a slot canyon in Utah and Jupiter’s moon Ganymede” and which says the film will cover “the whole of time, from the birth of the universe to its final collapse.” As we’ve suspected since seeing The Tree of Life, the film sounds like a great expansion of the ‘cosmic’ sequences in that movie. The document for the film also promises subject matter including “the first signs of life, bacteria, cellular pioneers, first love, consciousness, the ascent of humanity, life and death and the end of the universe.”

Not too surprising since they just finished working together on The Tree of Life. Pitt definitely has a great voice for narration, very soothing. I haven’t seen The Tree of Life yet, but obviously Malick is on a roll here with the whole life, death and existence thing. Whenever movies like this come along I get a little stand-offish. I’m hoping neither of them are preachy, that’s not a trait I like in movies.

Zach Braff Joins James Franco in ‘Oz: The Great and Powerful’

Zach Braff is being set up to join James Franco in the upcoming Disney movie Oz: The Great and Powerful.

Zach Braff is in final talks to join Disney’s Oz: The Great and Powerful, the Sam Raimi-directed film for Disney. Braff will play the role of Frank, the loyal but under-appreciated assistant to Oz (James Franco), a charismatic circus magician who is treated as a powerful wizard after his balloon blows off course into Oz and the townsfolk want him to eradicate a Wicked Witch and bring peace. Mila Kunis will play the witch Theodora, Michelle Williams will play Glinda and Rachel Weisz will play Evanora.

The cast is great, they’ve done a good job with it so far. I’m a big Sam Raimi fan, so I’m looking forward to seeing how this one turns out in the end. Braff seems like a great companion to James Franco‘s Oz, hopefully they can pull off some great laughs together. Oz: The Great and Powerful shoots this July for a March 8th, 2013 release.
