Movie Buzz

So, I’m dying to see a trailer for this movie, as I can’t get a grasp on what kind of film it will be: Your Highness stars Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel, Justin Theroux, James Franco, and Danny McBride and tells the story of a lazy douche prince played by McBride, who has to save his dad’s kingdom. Deschanel is a kidnapped princess. It sounds likea  quirky, offbeat fantasy comedy, and while the plot reads suckfest, the cast is making me think it will go in another, non-suckfest direction.

Do not fear, there will be a sequel to the stupidity celebration known as Hancock. It shall be called Hancock 2. New screenwriters have been brought on, I suppose under the false hopes that this can be made good.

Unlikely couple Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks will star in The Next Three Days, the American remake of French horror flick Pour Elle, in which a couple finds themselves in “unthinkable” situations and “the limits of love are tested.” Quel horreur.

This sounds amazing: Dark Knight’s Christopher Nolan is directing Inception!, set to be released in movie theaters July 16, 2010. Too long to wait for this “sci-fi thriller set within the architecture of the mind.” Sounds deep, and while could teeter on dumb, has a brilliant cast of Matt Dillon, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Michael Caine.

Gus van Sant is currently in talks with Columbia Pictures to develop and direct Restless, a script being kept tightly under wraps but is supposedly a super contemporary and honest depiction of young love. Ron Howard is attached to produce.
