The Iceman Trailer – Michael Shannon just can’t stop killing
The Iceman is based on the true story of notorious contract killer Richard Kuklinski, nicknamed ‘The Iceman’. Michael Shannon stars as the real-life hitman who in 1986 was convicted of murdering 100 men for various crime organizations around the New York area. The twist to Kuklinski’s story was that he was also a devoted husband and father whose family was unaware of his real profession until his arrest, he was also a bona fide serial killer, having started killing people long before he took it up as a profession.
New Pic From Dreamworks Animation’s The Crood
Dreamworks Animation is going prehistoric with The Croods, which is due to hit cinemas next March 22nd. Now a new image from the film has emerged, via EW, which is billed as a first look, although we have had this poster before.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘The Croods is a 3D comedy adventure from DreamWorks Animation that takes us back to the beginning – to a previously undiscovered era known as the Croodacious – a time when Mother Nature was still experimenting and the flora and fauna we know today hasn’t evolved yet. At the heart of this comedically chaotic world is the Crood family, led by Grug (Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage), an over-protective father who, like all dads, is doing all he can to hold his family together as the world around them changes at a dramatic pace.
‘Together with his wife (Catherine Keener), kids (Emma Stone and Clark Duke) and ornery mother-in-law (Cloris Leachman) in tow, Grug guides his family through this spectacular environment, full of amazing creatures, to find a new cave to call home. Along the way, they encounter Guy (Ryan Reynolds), an imaginative and resourceful newcomer who takes risks and wholeheartedly embraces the promise of tomorrow. Audiences will relate to the hilarious family antics as Guy helps the Croods navigate their way into the bright future.’

While he waits for James Cameron to finally get ready to shoot the sequels to Avatar, Sam Worthington has been busy filming up his schedule. Now he’s attached to another movie, The Riders, according to Moviehole.
Based on a novel by Tim Winter, the film is about an ‘Australian expatriate Scully (Worthington) who prepares to start a new life with his wife Jennifer and young daughter Bille in Ireland. His life is blown apart when he goes to the airport to meet his family, but finds only Billie and no message from his missing wife. With Billie in tow, he travels to Korcula and Paris in search of Jennifer: beginning a journey of self discovery that will alter the course of his life in ways he could never have envisaged.’
Timothy Spall and Charles Dance are also set for the movie, which will shoot on the Dalmatian Coast and in Paris, with Robert Connolly directing. The plan is for the film to be ready for release by January 2014.
New Pics From Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim Arrive
Thanks to Empire (via Shock Til You Drop), four new images from Guillermo Del Toro’s much anticipated Pacific Rim have debuted. While they don’t show off the special effects of giant robots battling monsters spilling out of a spatial rift, they do give us a better look at Charlie Day than we’ve seen before and show off the busy production design of the movie.
The movie, which also stars Idris Elba and Charlie Hunnam, is due out July 12th, 2013.
Michael Pitt Up For Mary Pickford Biopic The First
Michael Pitt has left Boardwalk Empire behind and it seems he’s going back to the mix of indie, arthouse and edge of the mainstream movies he used to make before his sejourn to HBO. Now Deadline reports he’s signed up to appear in The First, about Hollywood legend Mary Pickford.
Pitt will play Owen Moore, Pickford’s first husband, before they divorced and she married the much more famous Douglas Fairbanks. Ryan Simpkins has been cast to play a young Pickford, with Lily Rabe up to play her as an adult. The film covers Pickford’s life from a woman’s point of view as she rose to powerhouse status in a male-dominated fledgling business.
She became one of the first true movie stars and along with Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin and D. W. Griffith, created United Artists to be their own stomping grounds where they could be bosses instead of employees. It’s also true that along with Fairbanks, she helped create the idea of stars living lives of excess slightly apart from normal people.
The plan is to start filming early next year.
First Look At Charlie Sheen Going Inside the Mind Of Charles Swan III
Charlie Sheen has used the break between Three And A Half Men and Arrested Development (and we assure you, absolutely nothing of interest happened involving Sheen between those shows) to head back to the movies for a bit, playing the title character in Rom Coppola’s wordily titles A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III.
The movie also features Bill Murray, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Patricia Arquette, Aubrey Plaza, and Jason Schwartzman, and is set in a world likes ours but slightl different, following the unraveling of Charlie Swan’s mind after his girlfriend dumps him. Now the first images from the movie have arrived via EW, which also has an article about the movie that’s worth a read.
Coppola says about the hiring of Sheen, “Charlie is so perfect for the role, but he’s not perfect because of the public profile we’ve seen in the news. He’s incredibly talented as an actor, he has tons of charisma, he’s very witty. He’s very funny and charming. You can use your charm sometimes as a problem solver — and my character, that’s what he’s been doing. He’s been sliding through on life, using his charm and wit and charisma to get past some problems. But the problems are still there, and that’s the story of the movie… On the surface you could make a lot of parallels, but when you see it you’ll appreciate this character is one we invented together, and he as a performer drew from whatever talents and inclinations he has.”
The movie should be out early next year.

Recently we covered the announcement of the 31 films that will be competing this year.
