Brave is something a little bit different from Pixar – but then, you can say that about pretty much every new movie they make – and now a new poster and a two and a half minute clip from the movie have arrived, featuring some Celtic highland games and young warrior Merida showing what a headstrong woman she can be. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In “Brave,” a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.’ It’s out in the UK on August 13th.

The delay to the shooting schedule of Lone Ranger caused by Disney putting on the brakes while they sorted out the ever-ballooning budget was inevitably going to cause some casting issues. Most of the actors have stayed onboard, but one who was forced to drop out is Dwight Yoakam.
Edgar Wright is still busy working on Ant Man and a couple weeks ago he released a pic suggesting he and Simon Pegg were finally reuniting for their planned new movie, but now Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World and Shaun Of The Dead director Edgar Wright has added another movie to his plate, signing on to direct The Night Stalker for Disney and producer/star Johnny Depp.
Josh Duhamel has spent the last few years flitting around the edge of being a proper movie star, without really making it – after all, most people forget he was even in the Transformers movies, which have been his biggest successes.
Ridley Scott normally spends month, sometimes years, developing movies, but in the last few weeks The Counselor has come out of nowhere, nabbed Ridley as a director and will start shooting May 1st. There’s a good reason things have come together fast, as that’s because it’s the first script by acclaimed writer Cormac McCarthy.
