The story which HOLLYWOOD SPY wrote about more than a year ago has been confirmed at the Comic Con according to "MovieWeb": Robert Rodriguez will make a live action film out of late
fantasy artist Frank Frazetta's FIRE AND ICE saga. The story starts when a tiny village gets destroyed by a surging glacier, which serves as the deadly domain for the evil Ice Lord, Nekron. The only survivor is a young warrior, Larn, who vows to avenge this act of destruction. The evil continues, however, as Nekron's palace of ice heads straight towards Fire Keep, the great fortress ruled by the good King Jarol. When Jarol's beautiful daughter, Teegra, is abducted by Nekron's sub-human ape-like creatures, Larn begins a daring search for her. What results is a
tense battle between good and evil, surrounded by the mystical elements of the ancient past.

Speaking at Comic Con, Hugh Jackman has revealed that the main villain in WOLVERINE will be Silver Samurai, the mutant son of a former Japanese crimelord! Coming out in 2012 the film will be directed by James Mangold. Also officially announced at Comic Con is the film adaptation of VOLTRON, popular animated show which follows five young warriors who defend the galaxy as pilots of a battalion of ultra-high-tech Robot Lions, powerful vessels with the ability to join
together to form a fearsome mega-weapon known as Voltron: Defender of the Universe. Although all of her films were huge flops, and she never justified her Oscar nor won the love of cinemagoers, Hilary Swank will star in the film adaptation of sf comic book SHRAPNEL according to "Variety"! Set in the year 2250, the story follows a former Solar Alliance Marine who leads an uprising on Venus, the last free colony, against an oppressive solar government in order to fight for the freedom of her people.

It's finally here, the first trailer for sf film IN TIME by amazing director Andrew Niccol most famous for his master piece GATTACA. Featuring all of Hollywood's hottest young stars -
Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Alex Pettyfer, Olivia Wilde, Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser - the film is set in the not-too-distant future in which the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest try to negotiate for their immortality. Timberlake plays a poor young man who comes into a fortune of time and then ends up on the run from a corrupt police force known as 'time keepers'. Check out the trailer for the film which premieres this October!
This looks terrific. I think Justin found his franchise. And Amanda? On the raggedy edge where she runs the best. This one will be epic.
ReplyDeleteJustin is the biggest shooting star :) He is everywhere around and deserves to be everywhere around :) The only thing I won't forgive them is putting that horrible wig on gorgeous Amanda :(
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting. I love a good chase movie and of course who doesn't want to see a boy band member get chased with down by guys with guns? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sneak peek.
Wow, that was a long trailer. But good!! I love the premise of In Time. I could use some of that time injection myself. :)
ReplyDelete@Raquel
ReplyDeleteglad you liked it, Raquel :) Niccol usually makes great films, and Justin is always great :)
@Luanne
it really is an unusually long trailer :) And the premise with eternal youth is always a great one!
I love the trailer for In Time. I see one of the hottest actors in American television, Matt Bomer is in there. And I disagree about the wig. I loved it as Amanda's looks are too washed out.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they can get Wolverine done in time for 2012. They may have to push it way back to December as I think they just barely started filming. That pic of Hugh is gorgeous. ;)
I am so happy Robert Rodriguez is directing Fire and Ice. I love him and think he is one of the most talented directors.
I'm very intrigued! Thanks for posting the trailer Dezz :)
ReplyDelete@Melsy
ReplyDeleteyes, I've noticed Bomer in it too :) He's a lovely addition to the already extremely steamy cast :)
I still hate the cheep wig :P
They have to finish WOLVERINE because Hugh has to do LES MISERABLES immediately after it next February. I knew you would gonna like Hugh's pic :)
@Kristin
glad you liked it, Kristin :)
In Time looks great
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for In Time. I loved Gattaca. Niccol is amazing and the cast is incredible.
ReplyDeletefree download movies..

Oh Dez, that In Time cast is just so gorgeous. You are a true connoisseur of beauty...;) And yay, I can't wait for Les Miserables, I forgot all about that. Shame on me! Thank you for reminding me, sweetheart. :)
ReplyDeletethere are latly "lots" of movies with Timberlake, still a nice movie, will be worth watching it *_*
ReplyDeleteGyaaaaa...... CILLIAAAAAAANNNNN!!!! Arrrgghhh I don't think I will be able to see this in theater :( *cry a thousand tears*
ReplyDeleteThe trailer still hasn't made me excited about the story. It is still going to be another movie I watched because Cillian is in it. Both the story and the leading role do not intrigue me.Will not watch it if Cillian is not in it.
I like Sci-fi but not this kind of sci-fi.
@Dirty
ReplyDeleteglad you think so :)
@MAtty
GATTACA was such a legendary film in the genre!
@Melsy
it is a gorgeous cast :) Yes, we love beauty, both the inside and outside one :)
Hope Hugh will manage to do LES MISERABLES too, since I want to hear him sing in it :)
@Magixx
ReplyDeleteyep, he is rather busy these days. Not that I mind :)
@Novia
yep, your Cillian is in it as well :)
Yes, it's horrible about that ban of movies in your country :(
Hiks...poor me :(
ReplyDeleteThere are talks about letting Harry and Transformer in because of so many requests. Doubtful many people will ask for this movie...probably only me
I shall send a diplomatic protest note to Indonesian government through my connections in UN :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Dezz :) Very considerate of you
ReplyDeleteThis video is great! Also I like you're blog good design and good content!
ReplyDelete@Novia
ReplyDeletebe welcome
@Jason
glad you liked it ;) and thanks for liking the design and the content, I do try a lot :)
Wolverine and the silver samurai, i think i have a comic round here with that story, you're on the money about swank though but the story sounds good.
ReplyDeleteas far as I got it, Silver Samurai has fought Spiderman and Batman too and some other super heroes, so he often appears in comic books.
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree with me on Swank :)
I loved VOLTRON as a kid. I wonder if it will be live-action/CGI or full on animated like the show used to be? Now if they'd just make a live-action THUNDERCATS, my childhood will be officially renaissanced.
ReplyDeleteI have no issues with rebooting a somewhat obscure animated show from the 80's into a live action show in the present day. I hope Rodriguez can get it right.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like Gattica much but it was truly cinematic. It looks like In Time will be that way as well. Jackman, well, he's just plain hot!
ReplyDeleteI'll see anything with Hugh Jackman in it. I also remember the first Fire and Ice movie. I think I still have the movie poster from my days working in a video rental place.
ReplyDelete@Josh
ReplyDeleteit will be a live action film, and as far as I know THUDERCATS has also been announced last year for a possible movie adaptation.
@Jaccsy
yes, I have no issues with it either, it could be a very nice barbaric sf adventure :) The only problem is that Rodrigues plans to do it similar to SIN CITY, using that unusual and off-putting technique of shooting
@Clarissa
ReplyDeletesorry to hear that you didn't like GATTACA :( And glad to see you find Hugh hot :)
@Diane
I will also see anything with Jackman :) He he ... I haven't seen FIRE AND ICE original movie, but I love your story :)
