Two new clips for you today, people, the first one being the first long trailer for
Ang Lee's long awaited
LIFE OF PI movie adaptation of
Yann Martel's famous novel. Opening this November and starring
Suraj Sharma, Tobey Maguire, Gérard Depardieu, Irrfan
Khan, this coming-of-age survival tale revolves around a
boy who is the lone survivor of a sunken freighter and winds up sharing a
lifeboat with a hyena, an injured zebra, an orangutan and a hungry
Bengal tiger.
HOLLYWOOD SPY HEADLINES
Since fantasy is very trendy as a genre for TV shows, one of the new ones will be
SLEEPY HOLLOW. Famous producers
Alex Kurtzman and
Roberto Orci are working on the new show on the famous legend but the series
would apparently be set in the modern day, with Ichabod Crane partnering Sleepy Hollow's female sheriff to solve mysterious happenings in the town.
Kate Beckinsale's husband and TOTAL RECALL director
Len Wiseman is already attached to helm the pilot.
A poster has been released for
ME AND MY SHADOW. Dreamworks' animated flick, scheduled for August 2014, which tells the story of Shadow Stan, an extremely frustrated shadow who yearns for a dynamic life but happens to be stuck with Stanley Grubb, the world's most boring human. Finally pushed to the brink, Shadow Stan breaks the singular rule of the Shadow World – They lead, we follow – and takes control of Stanley!
THE ORANGES TRAILER
Today, you can also check out a trailer for comedy film
THE ORANGES which hits theatres this October: David and Paige Walling (
Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener) and Terry and Cathy Ostroff
(
Oliver Platt, Allison Janney) are best friends and neighbours living on Orange Drive in suburban New Jersey. Their comfortable existence goes awry when prodigal daughter Nina Ostroff (
Leighton Meester), newly broken up with her fiancé Ethan (
Sam Rosen), returns home for Thanksgiving after a five-year absence. Rather than developing an interest in the successful son of her neighbors, Toby Walling (
Adam Brody), which would please both families, it's her parents' best friend David who captures Nina's attention. When the connection between Nina and David becomes undeniable, everyone's lives are thrown into upheaval. It's
not long before the ramifications of the affair begin to work on all of the family members in unexpected and hilarious ways, leading everyone to reawaken to their lives, reassess what it means to be happy, and realize that sometimes what looks like a disaster turns out to be the thing we need.

Me and my Shadow looks great.
ReplyDeletea lovely plot, isn't it?
DeleteYes, and it makes me wonder why I don't have a shadow...
Deletemaybe your shadow is afraid of you....
DeleteMY GAWD, that movie "Life of Pi" sounds dreadful. Can you even imagine that???? Guess that's why it's a movie and not real life.
ReplyDeleteyep, better not dream about such a nightmare :) Although, methinks, the movie has a happy ending... I haven't read the book though....
DeleteMy g/f is obsessed with Adam Brody!! I'm forwarding this along to her ;) She'll be impressed that I'm up on the info all thanks to you!!
ReplyDeleteI can see why she's obsessed with him, he is the perfect nerd catch :) Go brag with the info :)
DeleteI love the looks of all these flicks. You have some great ones here today, my friend. :)
ReplyDeleteagreed, Melsy. I thought it would be a very bad day, but then I stumbled upon the two trailers and the rest is history :))
DeleteI'm preparing something ubber magnificent for Sunday, lots of eye candy and a brilliant epic story, so don't forget to drop by :)
I won't! Marking it on my calendar right now. I always love your spotlights, they are a highlight of any weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL :)
Deleteooh, the trailer to Life of Pi looks wonderful. I loved the book :)
ReplyDeleteit is stunning isn't it? Two minutes of wonders in that clip :)
DeleteThe Life of Pi is the one I'm waiting for. It's going to be spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought of making a tv series out of Sleepy Hollow. It will be interesting to see how they get enough material out of it to make a whole series.
I like Adam Brody too and the film looks funny and has a good message. Oh but we need uplifting right now my friend.
isn't it a lovely trailer, very soothing with it's visuals, even though there are dangerous scenes in it.
DeleteI just hope SLEEPY HOLLOW won't have too much crime in it.
Adam is such a lovely geek, don't know whom I love better, him or Topher Grace :)
I enjoyed both trailers...though Oranges look like a riot fun/family drama ~
ReplyDeleteTake care Dez ~
glad you liked both trailers today, dear sister!
Deletei like the oranges
ReplyDeleteand tangerines too :)
DeleteI love Hugh Laurie and Oliver Platt, so I would go see "The Oranges" just for them. And I adore the novel "Life of Pi" and can hardly wait for the movie!
ReplyDeletethen I had two great trailers for you today, Debs :) Too bad HRH is in UK and couldn't watch them, she would've liked the PI tiger :)
Deleteoranges looks pretty good
ReplyDeleteglad you think so, Adam
DeleteThe sleepy hollow show sounds like it could be pretty cool. Shadow stan looks like a lot of fun aswell :)
ReplyDeletelove the Shadow plot :) so original and cute!
DeleteOk, the first Life of Pi trailer that I saw sucked - you know, the one with the fish. It did nothing to make me want to see the movie. At all. Now I feel like maybe I could watch it when it comes out on DVD...we'll see.
ReplyDeleteAnd The Oranges...ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?? I am all in on that one! I mean...come on! Hugh Laurie is all it takes!!
By the way...thanks for stopping by with all the kind words yesterday! And any time you are up for guesting, just let me know!
yep, the teaser was very short, but this one is a longer one :)
DeleteI knew most of you would love some oranges :) Me likes tangerines too....
Be welcome, I think the Alliance has adopted you and you are now a member :)
We could do guesting later this summer after we finish interviews at Annzie's place, since we wouldn't want too much of Dezz's face everywhere making people sick :)
Happy me!!! I am a proud member! And I don't see how we can get sick of your face, but I can wait a little bit...something exciting to look forward to!!
Deletetrust me, if I start jumping out of people's fridges and ovens, people will start trashing me :)
DeleteShadow looks awesome!!
ReplyDeletesure does!
