Terry Gilliam Is Back With 'The Zero Theorem'... Finally!!!

Terry Gilliam is one of my favorite film directors of all time, and I think there is a specific reason for that. He is very selective over the projects that he chooses to undertake... and has even undertook a handful of projects and worked on them for multiple years before abandoning them before completion. He is very whimsical and high strung... like my true favorite director, Stanley Kubrick. He also tends to take a very LONG time to complete a film. His last movie was The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, which came out in 2009 and took over 2 years to complete. Gilliam overcame the death of Heath Ledger in a very creative fashion in that movie, and the results were stellar. Looking back at his career, there are not many of his films that I dislike. 12 Monkeys, Time Bandits, Brazil, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas... the list goes on and on. He also tends to get extreme A list actors to go very weird with their performances. Think Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys, DeNiro in Brazil, or the legendary Christopher Plummer in Dr. Parnassus. So I am really intrigued to see what comes from his latest project, The Zero Theorem. Christoph Waltz, french film fatale Melanie Thierry, Matt Damon, Tilda Swinton and Dave Tewlis are all involved... an eclectic cast once again. This one looks a lot of fun, and anything that Waltz does seems to be great (shit, he even made The Green Hornet watchable). The film is debuting in the Uk on March 14th, and will follow in the US sometime this spring. I for one will be checking it out. Thanks to Grif Hartter for the tip!

This Is A Sci-Fi Double Feature I Want To See

These look like two great upcoming sci-fi movies that I am soooooo excited for. Great star power, great directors, and lets hope great movies.

First up, we got the a longtime Hollywood screenwritier (Oceans 12, The Bourne Ultimatum, The Sentinel) named George Nolfi stepping behind the camera... and not only is that a huge enough challenge, he decided to adapt a story of the Godfather of Sci-Fi, Phillip K Dick. Now that's pressure. Good thing he has former Bourne collaborator Matt Damon and the always gorgeous Emily Blunt, as well as Terrance Stamp & Daniel Dae Kim (Jin from Lost) to help out. This ones called The Adjustment Bureau, and here is the trailer:

Next, we got the second offering from Duncan Jones. Following up his wildly successful first film Moon (Sam Rockwell is so wonderful), Jones takes a shot with a bigger budget and an even more ambitious cast in Source Code. Lets see if Mr. Gyllenhal can do as good a job as Rockwell did for Mr. Jones, who just so happens to be the son of David Bowie and is well on his way towards a successful movie making career. Here is the trailer...



So what do you guys think? Do you want to see any of these, or neither... let me know in the comment section below.

Now That's What I Call A Western... Wow!

Joel and Ethan Coen... True Grit remake... Jeff Bridges... Matt Damon... Josh Brolin... YES PLEASE!!!

Film Posters From Around The World Vol#9 - The Departed

The Departed is a 2006 masterpiece of a movie from master filmmaker Martin Scorsese. It paired a Hollywood titan in Jack Nicholson with two fast rising stars, Leonardo Dicaprio and Matt Damon. The movie also features an excellent supporting cast of Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Vera Farmiga, and Ray Winstone as various cops and robbers playing a role in the ongoing war for Boston's streets. The film is a re-telling of the Japanese trilogy Infernal Affairs, and also features some elements of real life gangster Whitey Bulger's life as a Boston based gangster. The film won Best Picture and got Scorsese his coveted Best Director Oscar. I absolutely love this film, and that's why I picked it for this weeks Film Posters From Around The World. If you have not seen it, make this a priority. That's that, enjoy the posters and give me some comments and thoughts on the classic film.
