First Look: Mickey Rourke in Sly Stallone's The Expendables
![]() Its been a while since we last saw anything from The Expendables, which I believe is already finished shooting (and if it isn't yet, it will be finished soon). However, Empire has the newest shot, featuring a burly Mickey Rourke tattooing the back of Sylvester Stallone. Rourke has been showing up in movies left and right since winning everyone over again in The Wrestler. I don't know if he just has a brief cameo in the movie (and this is it that we're seeing) or whether he'll show up later on, tattooing more of the Expendables team. Either way, this is pretty damn cool to see, so check out the photo below and more info as well. Dig it! ![]() Empire explains that Rourke is the "arms dealer and part-time tattooist" named Tool who is inking Barney Ross, the character Stallone plays, with the skull and raven tattoo seen on the poster. So he's an arm dealer, that must mean we might see more of him when he arms up everyone at other times in the movie (or so I hope that happens). We're also hoping we get to see a trailer for this sometime soon, but we haven't heard anything about when that'll show up online. And as always, you can check out other photos and video from earlier. Of course, stay tuned for more on The Expendables as it arrives! Is everyone still excited for this? And here are those posters they were talking about: ![]()

Robert Schwentke Directing Summit's 'Red' Comic Book Movie
![]() Would you want to see a comic book movie directed by the guy who did Flightplan and The Time Traveler's Wife? No wait, don't answer that. It's a loaded question and I want to give Robert Schwentke the benefit of the doubt on this one. According to THR, Schwentke is in negotiations to directing Summit's big screen comic book adaptation of WildStorm's Red, written by Warren Ellis. Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman are already attached to star, with a screenplay by Whiteout's Erich and Jon Hoeber. Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian are producing. Schwentke is also attached to Conspiracy of Fools at Warner Bros. The three-issue comic series, first published in 2003, tells the story of a former black-ops CIA agent now living a quiet life in retirement until the day a high-tech assassin shows up to kill him. With his secret identity compromised and his love interest in danger, the man must reassemble his old team to figure out who is out to get them. The Hoebers' take involves the idea of an older operative set in his ways having to contend with younger agents as well as modern technology. I'm looking forward to seeing what Schwentke can do with this. At least I hope it'll have good action, because what would a spy movie be without that?

Sony Adapting the inFAMOUS Video Game into a Movie
![]() Either the video game movie trend is picking up again in the next few years, or this is just leftover news from Comic-Con. Sony Pictures has pre-emptively picked up a pitch to adapt the inFAMOUS video game into a feature film. inFAMOUS, which hit shelves last May, centers on bike messenger Cole MacGrath, who survives an explosion that destroys a large part of Empire City only to find that he has new electricity-derived super powers. The game, designed for Sony's PlayStation 3, allows the player to use his powers for good or evil, as MacGrath's karma affects how the city's people and infrastructure deal with him. Read on! Screenwriter Sheldon Turner (The Longest Yard, Up in the Air) will be writing the screenplay. Avi Arad and Ari Arad will produce. "What excited me most about the game was it was the first of which I've come across that had a big idea and a character arc," Turner said. "It is, I believe, the future of gaming. The game, while big and fun, is at its core a love ballad to the underachiever, which is what our hero, Cole McGrath, is." I haven't personally played the game, however the photos from it look pretty cool and it sounds like a good concept. Of course, let's hope they do a good job adapting it, because most video game movies (still) suck. Paul W.S. Anderson Adapting Peter V. Brett's The Warded Man ![]() What is Paul W.S. Anderson butchering next? First off, he might return to direct Resident Evil: Afterlife, but after that, why not some fantasy? THR reports that Anderson and his producing partner Jeremy Bolt have picked up film rights to Peter V. Brett's fantasy novel "The Warded Man." Anderson is attached to direct and will produce with Bolt. The book is set in an "undetermined future" where mankind is beset by nightly attacks from demonkind and has been thrown into a feudal state. Three young people emerge with the potential power to turn the tide, including a man who has wards (aka spells) tattooed on his body. "It launched in the U.K. six months earlier than in the U.S., and we got wind of it when it was in galley form before the U.K. release. We think it has the potential to be a new Lord of the Rings-style epic, and the book has all this great imagery," Anderson said. I don't know, I don't think someone like Paul W.S. Anderson would be able to make anything even remotely as good as Lord of the Rings. I mean, enjoyed Death Race, and I think Pandorum looks good (Bolt and Anderson also produced that), but I don't have the highest hopes for "The Warded Man." In the meantime, if you want to read the novel, you can pick it up right here.

oh my god yes!!
I love the story behind the character and the feeling to it! It seems like there's going to be a lot of action and it's going to be mostly in the night time seeing as how it is supposed to be an assassin movie

Dr. Seuss Book The Lorax to Become a 3D Animated Movie
![]() Just in case that Horton Hears a Who! movie wasn't enough, Universal has teamed up with Illumination Entertainment to adapt another Dr. Seuss book, this time The Lorax, into a 3D CGI animated feature (just like Horton). First published back in 1971, The Lorax is narrated by a greedy entrepreneur who, despite warnings from the tree-loving Lorax, strips a forest of its stock of Truffula trees to manufacture clothing. The results are catastrophic as all the animals leave and nothing's left. Universal's feature version of this will be co-directed by three different directors: Chris Renaud (Despicable Me), Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio. "Ted Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) was prescient in an uncanny way when he wrote the book and explored themes of greed and how that can lead to the destruction of environment," Illumination's Chris Meledandri told Variety. Meledandri was the same person who developed Horton Hears a Who! at Fox before he formed Illumination, so you might as well think of this as the unofficial follow-up. Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio also signed a four year writing and directing deal after writing Horton and Despicable Me. The Lorax movie is scheduled for release on March 2nd, 2012, which is the 108th birthday of Dr. Seuss, who died in 1991. Don't Worry, Star Trek 2 Won't Be Like Transformer 2! ![]() I'm probably stepping onto thin ice here, but this is worth mentioning only for fun, not for real news. Sci-fi site io9 caught up with screenwriter Roberto Orci on the red carpet of the Entertainment Weekly party at Comic-Con (which I was also at). Their brief conversation focused slightly on Transformers 2, then jumped to Star Trek 2. As was announced previously, Orci and writing partner Alex Kurtzman are writing the sequel to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek. They also wrote Transformers 2, which despite earning $382 million at the box office, hasn't settled well with critics or fans. But you don't have to worry, Star Trek 2 will be very different. Quote:

Worth Watching - July 29: Baader Meinhof Complex Trailer
![]() Last year we featured a trailer for a German film called Der Baader Meinhof Komplex. It later went on to become nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar even though it still hasn't officially hit US theaters. Vitagraph Films is now bringing The Baader Meinhof Complex to theaters and has debuted an official US trailer (and poster) for the film over on Cinematical. This looks pretty incredible and considering it was good enough to get an Oscar nomination, I'm definitely interested in checking it out. Plus, any trailer that uses The Who's "My Generation" in a great way just deserves some props anyway. Watch this trailer! Watch the official US trailer for The Baader Meinhof Complex: The Baader Meinhof Complex, aka Der Baader Meinhof Komplex, is directed by German filmmaker Uli Edel, of numerous German made-for-TV movies as well as Last Exit to Brooklyn and The Little Vampire. The screenplay was written by Hollywood producer Bernd Eichinger, of The Downfall and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer previously, and is based on Stefan Aust's book of the same name. The Baader Meinhof Complex, which was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Oscar this year, is being distributed in the US by Vitagraph Films. It's expected to arrive in very limited theaters starting on August 21st later this year. First Brilliant Trailer for the Coen Brothers' A Serious Man ![]() They just don't stop! The Coen Brothers are already back again with yet another black comedy, titled A Serious Man, following up their CIA black comedy Burn After Reading last year. Out of nowhere comes the first trailer for A Serious Man straight from Apple. Up-and-coming actor Michael Stuhlbarg stars in the lead role as well as funny man Richard Kind as his brother. You probably won't recognize too many people in this, which is probably a good thing. Considering it's the Coen Brothers, they've got some crazy, twisted, dark comedy up their sleeves, so why not let some incredibly talented unknown actors take center stage. Watch the trailer for the Coen Brothers' A Serious Man: You can also watch the trailer for A Serious Man in High Definition on Apple A black comedy set in 1967 and that centers on Larry Gopnik, a Midwestern professor who watches his life unravel when his wife prepares to leave him because his inept brother won't move out of the house. A Serious Man is both written and directed by the brillaint Oscar winning filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen, of Blood Simple, Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, O Brother Where Art Thou?, No Country for Old Men, and Burn After Reading. This was shot last year in Minnesota after they finished Burn After Reading. Focus Features will be debuting A Serious Man in limited theaters on October 9th.
