HOLLYWOOD SPY REPORT FROM THE ROYAL WEDDING OF JORDAN'S PRINCE RASHID AND PRINCESS ZEINA SHABAN! NEW PICS FROM "THE HUNGER GAMES"! FULL LENGTH TRAILER FOR "SPARTACUS VENGEANCE"

Before we move over to Jordan and visit the royal wedding there, I just wanted to show you a full trailer for SPARTACUS VENGEANCE and some new pictures from THE HUNGER GAMES since I know you people are excited about that film adaptation. In the new pictures you can see a new look of Gale and
Peeta played by Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, and I added the picture of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss just to remind you of her look in the film as well. Click on the pic to see it bigger!

Last week I gave you a short teaser for the second season of Starz' epic show SPARTACUS VENGEANCE and now you can see the whole, extremely thrilling trailer announcing the new adventures which will be aired next January with Liam McIntyre taking the  lead role. The trailer features a mindblowing and totally crazy return of Lucretia from the dead - you don't wanna miss that scene, I swear I screamed while watching it :)

HOLLYWOOD SPY'S REPORT FROM THE ROYAL WEDDING IN JORDAN
We had a new royal wedding a few days ago, moving to Jordan this time after we've already visited UK royal wedding and Monaco royal wedding. The couple in Jordan were Prince Rashid and
gorgeous Zeina Shaban. The son of Jordan's King Abdullah II’s uncle, 31 year old Prince Rashid married extremely beautiful Zeina Shaban (22), who is, similar to Monaco's princess Charlene, a former Olympic athlete (in table tennis). As on previous royal weddings this one also had lots of crowned guests including King Hamad of Bahrain, Queen Sofia of Spain, Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria, crown prince Alexander of Serbia, Duke of Edinburgh, the princes of Bulgaria, Belgium, Luxembourg ...
It is interesting that prince Rashid's father prince Hassan was the main heir to the Jordanian throne for many decades, until his brother King Hussein changed the succession on his deathbed in 1999 and gave the throne to his son, Abdullah. If this didn't happen
prince Rashid would now be the heir to the throne and Zeina would be the future queen instead of the current queen Rania, Abdullah's wife. Charming Prince Rashid is a Captain in Jordan's Army. PS click on the pics to see them in larger size!

HOLLYWOOD SPY SPOTLIGHTS: BEST EPIC TV SHOWS "GAME OF THRONES", "THE TUDORS", "ROME", "SPARTACUS", "MERLIN", "LEGEND OF THE SEEKER", "THE BORGIAS"!

 While our poll is still going on and you can still vote, HOLLYWOOD SPY is bringing you today a review of all the marvelous epic or historical shows which have amazed us in last few years bringing action, drama and lavish settings to TV again!
Which one is/was your favourite? Do you love historical and fantasy shows as much as your spy?
MERLIN'S CHARMING MAGIC
When it first premiered a few years ago, MERLIN was supposed to be a relaxing Saturday afternoon fun for the viewers of BBC, but then it seduced the audience becoming a world wide popular show with tens of millions of viewers and three seasons with the fourth one ready to air this Fall. In the world which loves grim, morbid and extremely dark stories, MERLIN was a breath of fresh air with its lovely stories based on myths and fairy tales, with it's picturesque sets and colourful costumes, with a sprinkle of humor and with amazing chemistry
between the two lead actors Colin Morgan as Merlin and Bradley James as Arthur. The two weak spots are slow pacing (I thought that we shall see Arthur and Merlin ruling Camelot but it still hasn't happened) and that horrid horrid actress which plays Guinevere with only one facial expression in all possible situations and with utter lack of talent. She's the worst casting choice ever seen on TV since Anna Paquin's Suki in TRUE BLOOD.

 GAME OF THRONES AND DRAGONS
I must admit that, although I generally liked the show, GAME OF THRONES did leave me a bit disappointed and I think it owes its success mostly to the millions of fans of the books. Although it had its great sides (nice sets, mostly nice costumes, and some great performances - Sean Bean's being the best one) the show had problems with the dynamics within episodes, it didn't have any fantasy nor epic elements, it was mostly based on weak dialogues and there wasn't enough focus on any of the characters. So my main problem was with the adaptation and direction. The show just lacked some deeper directorial vision.
But, if you ask me, it was worth watching just to see the final scene of the first season in which we witnessed the birth of dragons on the body of the naked princess in the middle of the raging fire :) I wish the show had more of such breathtaking and deeply creative scenes. The second season is coming up next year hopefully with more action and with more inner drama and struggles.

SEDUCTIVE TUDORS
The show which basically brought back historical programmes back to prime time is THE TUDORS. Not many shows have had such a strong fanbase as this Showtime's series has. With outstanding acting (Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Henry, Maria Doyle Kennedy as queen Catherine and Henry Cavill as Charles Brandon gave truly legendary and extremely refined performances), mesmerizing sets, exciting drama and brilliant costumes, THE TUDORS had four seasons before they went straight to television history. The first season was by far the
best, with the last, final, season being the weakest leaving an impression that it was shot and written in a rush. It still remains the show which will be loved and watched in decades to come as well.

GLORIOUS DAYS OF ROME
I must admit that I was immediately smitten by ROME as soon as it premiered on HBO in 2005. Following the lives of both illustrious and ordinary Romans and set in the last days of the Roman Republic, the show brought us amazing acting
performances (especially from Polly Walker, Ciaran Hinds, James Purefoy, Kevin McKidd, Ray Stevenson and Simon Woods), highly exciting plot, marvelous direction, amazing action, terrific sets, lots of alluring and delightful nudity which played its purpose in depicting the era ... Although it had a huge success, after the filming of the second season the biggest studio ever to be used for a TV show was destroyed in a fire and the shooting of the third season was impossible even though the second season scored an even bigger success and ratings. The producers didn't know that the show will have such a tremendous success and thus the show was canceled with the second season leaving the audience hungry for more! The whole show cost around $100 million!

SPARTACUS BLOOD AND SEX
Although it was filled with naked titties, willies, ripping muscles and tight buttocks :) SPARTACUS BLOOD AND SAND was by no means superficial. Behind the outrageous visual feast which also included groundbreaking special effects, marvelous sets, mind
blowing costumes and thrilling fighting scenes, there was intelligently written plot full of highly refined twists, there was profound drama mixed with witty and quick dialogues, and above all there was masterful acting from Lucy Lawless and John Hannah who were unforgettable in their portrayal of Lucretia and Batiatus. Even the prequel SPARTACUS GODS OF ARENA was wonderfully done and shot. Second season SPARTACUS VENGEANCE will bring us Liam McIntyre as Spartacus instead of Andy Withfield.

 NAUGHTY AND MIGHTY  BORGIAS
Although we can't say it managed to replace THE TUDORS as Showtime's new historical saga, THE BORGIAS weren't all that bad. Although the first six episodes were confusing, rather pointless, visionless and  had a terrible lack of direction (both behind the helm and in the screenwriter's seat) after the sixth episode when Neil Jordan gave up the director's seat to the much more talented Jeremy Podeswa, the show suddenly became dynamic, thrilling, sexy, lavish, quick and much more refined and it also finally gained a direction in which the story and the actors could flow more easily.
Jeremy Irons, as the pope in this story of intrigues and plots in one of the most famous papal families in history, gave a rather uninspired performance, but I did like Colm Feore as cardinal Rovere, and the young actors were also a pleasure to watch.

MESMERIZING LEGEND OF THE SEEKER
Even though the readers of the fantasy saga upon which LEGEND OF THE SEEKER show was based upon didn't like the adaptation, the show did manage to create its huge fanbase and thus it lasted for two successful seasons following the adventures of young hero Richard Cypher and his friends among wizards and sorcerers. The second, final, season was much better than the first one presenting the most breathtaking of sets and landscapes, mesmerizing costumes and some stunning visuals. The show also gave us one of the most impressive and memorable female warrior characters seen on TV ever since STAR TREK's Seven of Nine,
gorgeous Cara in the marvelous portrayal of unbelievably gorgeous Tabrett Bethell. Overly humorous character of wizard Zed was probably the weakest link in the show since it made the show less serious than it should be. Craig Parker as the main villain Darken Rahl was also outstanding and legendary.
DON'T MISS THIS SUNDAY! HOLLYWOOD SPY'S EXTENSIVE
MEGA SPOTLIGHT ON BEST EPIC AND HISTORICAL TV SHOWS!

FIRST TRAILER FOR WW2 EPIC "RED TAILS"! WILLEM DAFOE & ROB KAZINSKY JOIN DEL TORO'S "PACIFIC RIM"! LEE PACE JOINS DANIEL DAY LEWIS & TOMMY LEE JONES IN SPIELBERG'S "LINCOLN"!

Historical film HYDE PARK ON THE HUDSON has started its production. Bill Murray plays American president Roosevelt back in the summer of 1939 when English king and queen came to
USA in a first visit ever of a British monarch. Since Britain was facing imminent war with Germany, the royals were desperately looking for American support. The visit has produced a special bond between the two nations. Also joining the cast is another forgotten Oscar winner Laura Linney. Speaking of American presidents, our beloved Lee Pace (THE FALL, PUSHING DAISIES, THE HOBBIT) has just joined Steven Spielberg's LINCOLN, in which he will play New York city mayor, with Daniel Day Lewis playing Lincoln and Tommy Lee Jones, Sally Field and Joseph Gordon Lewitt also in the cast.
 __________________________________________________
Set to hit theaters in 2013, Guillermo del Toro's sf thriller PACIFIC RIM keeps adding new members to its cast.
According to "MovieWeb" new faces joining Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Max Martini and Rinko Kikuchi are Rob Kazinsky (who recently left THE HOBBIT for unknown personal reasons) and Willem Dafoe who will play a rogue expert in catching aliens. Story is set in a future in which malevolent creatures threaten the earth, so the planet must band together and use highly advanced technology to eradicate the growing menace. Hunnam, Elba and Kazinsky will play a team of soldiers who try to fight off the strange invaders.
_________________________________________________
Your trailer treat for today is the newly released one for George Lucas produced RED TAILS,  a war drama which comes to cinemas in January next year and follows a group of black pilots
from the WW2 who are courageously waging two wars at once – one against enemies overseas, and the other against discrimi nation within the military and back home. Due to racial prejudices the black pilots have been kept back at base - leaving them with little to do but further hone their flying skills - while their white counterparts are shipped out to combat after a mere three months of training. Mistakenly deemed inferior and assigned only second-rate planes and missions, the black pilots have mastered the skies with ease but have not been granted the opportunity to truly spread their wings. The cast includes Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Bryan Cranston and super talented r'n'b star Ne-Yo!

THRILLING TRAILER FOR "BATTLESHIP" WITH ALEXANDER SKARSGARD & TAYLOR KITSCH! FUN TRAILER FOR "TOWER HEIST" WITH BEN STILLER & EDDI MURPHY! VINCENT CASSEL & ROSARIO DAWSON JOIN JAMES MCAVOY IN DANNY BOYLE'S "TRANCE"!

Danny Boyle's new heist film TRANCE which already has James McAvoy in the lead role has just added Vincent Cassel and
Rosario Dawson to the cast. McAvoy and Cassell will play two partners who come up with an elaborate art heist while Dawson will play a woman who has a relationship with both of them. The story centers on an assistant at an auction house (McAvoy) who masterminds a heist and joins a group of thieves to steal a valuable painting. He's the key in the gang since he's the only one who knows where the painting is. Unfortunately, he then gets a hit in the head and wakes up with amnesia so that he cannot remember where the painting is hidden. After he fails to recall his lost memory, the gang hire a female hypnotist to get into his brain.
___________________________________________________
The first of the two trailers for today announces new film from Brett Ratner (X-MEN LAST STAND, RUSH HOUR3). Premiering
this November, TOWER HEIST revolves around the workers at a luxury Central Park condominium who, after they discover that they have fallen victim to the penthouse billionaire's Ponzi scheme,  plot the ultimate revenge: a heist to reclaim what he took from all of them, but since they know nothing about stealing money they must seek help from a heist expert played by Eddie Murphy. As you can see from the trailer the cast includes a rather strange combination of Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, Tea Leoni, Cassey Affleck and an Oscar winner Gabourey Sidibe.
__________________________________________________
I didn't have enough space to post the first trailer for sf film BATTLESHIP yesterday, but here it is now. Coming out next
May, and starring a bunch of deadly gorgeous peopleTaylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Josh Pence, Brooklyn Decker and that screaming pop tart Rihanna, the film is actually a movie adaptation of the famous game. The film is directed by Peter Berg and follows a fleet of ships and their crews which are forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origin in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals. As you know, young Taylor Kitsch will also star in JOHN CARTER sf epic next year, so you will be seeing him as a breakthrough star in 2012. I think he looks much better with the new army hairdo.
LINK OF THE DAY Don't forget to pop over to Joshua's place since today he has one of the most touching posts I've ever read!

1ST LOOK AT JOSH HUTCHERSON & LIAM HEMSWORTH IN "THE HUNGER GAMES"! 1ST TRAILER FOR STELLAR "NEW YEAR'S EVE"! AMAZING CONCEPT ART FOR ROBERT RODRIGUEZ' "FIRE AND ICE"!

 As "MovieWeb" reports Robert Zemeckis will direct HERE THERE BE MONSTERS, which will center on Revolutionary War hero John Paul Jones, but some gigantic sea monsters will also be featured in the story. The latest addition to G.I. JOE 2: COBRA STRIKES cast is Joe Mazzello whom we remember as the
little kid from JURASSIC PARK. He is now a grown up man and he will take the role of Mouse, a teen hunk who is apparently a big charmer and should attract teen girls to see the film. As you remember, the film already has Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum and Adrianne Palicki. The new issue of "Entertainment Weekly" features the first look on Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, the male leads in THE HUNGER GAMES. I must admit I don't like the way they dyed Josh's hair blond.
_________________________________________________
First concept art for Robert Rodriguez' remake of FIRE AND ICE, which he announced at Comic Con, has been released by
"Entertainment Weekly". Based on the work of famous Frank Frazetta, the film should start shooting next year. The epic starts when, up from his stronghold in Ice Peak, the evil Nekron sends
forth a wave of deadly glaciers, forcing humanity to retreat to Fire Keep, a kingdom ruled by a generous king. When King Jarol's daughter Teegra is kidnapped, young warrior Larn teams with the
mysterious and legendary Dark Wolf, to rescue the princess and the realm from Nekron's evil sorcery.
_________________________________________________
And here's the first trailer for a film with an almost unbelievable cast. NEW YEAR'S EVE, which premieres this December directed
by famous Garry Marshall, will be similar to his previous film VALENTINES' DAY and will follow the lives of several couples and singles in New York which will intertwine in an unusual way over the course of New Year's Eve. The stellar cast includes Katherine Heigl, Robert De Niro, Jake Gyllenhaal, Zac Efron, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Biel, Sophia Vergara, Michelle Pfeiffer, Taylor Swift, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jon Bon Jovi, Til Schweiger, Josh Duhamel, Ryan Seacrest and many others! The trailer promises one of those charming and magical festive uplifting films!

 Since fairy tales are "in", Universal is preparing a new movie adaptation of THE NUTCRACKER in which the story starts when
a little girl gets a Nutcracker doll for Christmas from her grandfather and continues when the doll takes her on an adventure that includes a war involving a seven-headed Mouse King and his army of mice, curses and themes of ugliness and beauty.

The film comes to cinemas this November.
 ________________________________________________
The first trailer was released today for the financial drama MARGIN CALL which opens in cinemas this October. Although
the topic might not be that interesting to most of us, the cast of the film really is amazing with Zachary Quinto, Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Penn Badgley, Jeremy Irons, Stanley Tucci and Simon Baker.  The story of the movie revolves around eight people at an investment bank during a 24-hour period amidst the 2008 horrible financial crisis. The female part of the cast has two almost forgotten actresses from the 90's Demi Moore and Carla Gugino.

1ST TRAILER FOR "SPARTACUS VENGEANCE"! HARRISON FORD IS WYATT EARP IN "BLACK HATS"! 1ST CONCEPT ART FROM BRADLEY COOPER'S "PARADISE LOST"! TONI COLLETTE GOES "MENTAL"!

Now, this is a piece of news which makes me personally happy: "Variety" reports that director P.J. Hogan and Toni Collette
will work again after their collaboration in beloved classic MURIEL'S WEDDING. In Hogan's new film MENTAL, Collette will play a crazy hotheaded hitchhiker brought on to nanny five girls by their father, a philandering politician, after he hospitalizes his wife for a nervous breakdown. The cast also includes Liev Schreiber and Anthony LaPaglia! Over at Comic Con Legendary pictures has revealed concept art for their PARADISE LOST in which Lucifer and Michael, God's greatest archangels, share the bond of extraordinary friendship until God produces his greatest creation: Man. Unable to remain subservient to God if it means bowing down to humanity, Lucifer
begins his dark descent and is cast out - only to plot his revenge. This huge epic which will have Bradley Cooper as Lucifer will also have some huge aerial battles directed by Alex Proyas!
 ___________________________________________
According to "Heat Vision" Harrison Ford has taken the lead role in the movie adaptation of Max Allan Collins' novel BLACK HATS which is set in the Prohibition era which has just begun,
and the Wild West is a fading memory, and Wyatt Earp is making ends meet as a detective in Los Angeles. To help the late Doc Holliday's son, Wyatt goes east, where his onetime deputy, Bat Masterson, is New York's top sportswriter. Wyatt and Masterson face a showdown with a new breed of mobsters led by Brooklyn's brutal young Al Capone, in a takeover of young Holliday's hot new speakeasy. As the '20s (and machine guns) roar, the lawless lawmen enter a glittering world of showgirls and cafe society, of gangsters and gamblers, where their legends may even end as Scarface Al's begins.

Last week I showed you the first picture of Liam McIntyre from SPARTACUS VENGEANCE which will air next January on Starz, and now you can check out the first trailer as well. On the heels of the bloody escape from the House of Batiatus that
concluded SPARTACUS BLOOD AND SAND the gladiator rebellion continues and begins to strike fear into the heart of the Roman Republic in the second season. Gaius Claudius Glaber (Craig Parker) and his Roman troops are sent to Capua to crush the growing band of freed slaves that Spartacus leads before it can inflict further damage. Spartacus is presented the choice of satisfying his personal need for vengeance against the man that condemned his wife to slavery and eventual death or making the larger sacrifices necessary to keep his budding army from breaking apart.

PS it seems you liked both the royal post on Sunday and yesterday's bunch of new pics since HOLLYWOOD SPY had almost 3,000 visitors this Monday ;) I also checked some specific stats, and lots of people have been brought here from Google after typing in Hayley Atwell naked or nude :) Guess those who went to watch CAPTAIN AMERICA really liked her :)

STUNNING NEW POSTER FOR TARSEM'S "IMMORTALS"! FIRST CONCEPT ART FROM "AVENGERS"! 1ST IMAGES FROM "SNOW WHITE & THE HUNTSMAN" WITH CHARLIZE THERON, CHRIS HEMSWORTH & SAM CLAFLIN IN COSTUMES! 1ST TRAILER FOR "BEL AMI" WITH ROBERT PATTINSON & CHRISTINA RICCI

I think that today we shall have a photo Monday, since I have a tone of brilliant new images to show you, so here we go: first you can check out a brand new poster for Tarsem's Greek epic
IMMORTALS which leaves me absolutely breath taken! You can see Henry Cavill as Theseus in the heat of the battle surrounded above his head with all other characters (Freida Pinto, Stephen Dorff) from the film and all the Greek Gods (Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz) who are helping him in his battle against evil king Hyperion (Michey Rourke)! The film will sweep the box offices this November! And the latest reports state that the journalists who were shown some footage from the film this weekend at Comic Con were all left stunned, dazzled and absolutely amazed by the revolutionary usage of visuals and 3D technique!
 _____________________________________________
After Tarsem has amazed us with the first image of Lily Collins in his SNOW WHITE project last week, this weekend has brought us first images from the rival SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN project too.But unlike the first film which will be a
visually spectacular mix of fantasy, fairy tales and comedy, the second one looks dark, grim and less promising (due to the lead actress): the images show costumed cast - Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen, Sam Claflin as the prince and Chris
Hemsworth
as the Huntsman. There's also the horrid Kristen Stewart trying to look like Snow White. This one premieres three months after Tarsem's project next June. 
___________________________________________________
Another treat for today are concept art character posters released this weekend for the AVENGERS movie which will gather all of the
biggest superheroes in one movie: Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man .... After a bootlegged trailer from last week, we are
expecting an official one to come up soon! The film is currently in production! Click each of the images in the post to see them in bigger size!
_________________________________________________
And the last thing for today is a brand new trailer for BEL AMI which features some amazing and extremely beautiful and sensual music and some relatively one-dimensional acting from Robert Pattinson. Based on Maupassant's novel and set in the 19th
century Paris this film will chronicle a young man's rise to power in the French capital via his manipulation of the city's most influential and wealthy women who will be, judging from the trailer, marvelously portrayed by Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas.

HOLLYWOOD SPY'S MOST GORGEOUS ROYALS: LALLA SALMA OF MOROCCO, QUEEN RANIA OF JORDAN & SHEIKH RASHID OF DUBAI

Last April, during our coverage of the Royal Wedding over in London, and then this July with the Royal Wedding in Monaco,
HOLLYWOOD SPY had a huge number of visitors, so I guess you like reading about royals. So how about a HOLLYWOOD SPY's guide through the list of hottest royals around the world. If you wanna marry a prince or a princess, or you just enjoy following their glamorous lives, here are some of the most stunning examples of gorgeous crowned heads.We shall start with the Islamic countries today and continue with others next time.
LALLA SALMA OF MOROCCO AND QUEEN RANIA OF JORDAN
Now these two are the most glamorous, the most beautiful and also the most refined and charismatic queens in the world. Salma of Morocco (33 like your spy) actually isn't a queen, although she
is the wife of Moroccan king Mohamed, since their country doesn't have queens. She uses the title of Lalla. Beside being beautiful and extremely stylish (while at the same time honoring the exotic tradition of her country by wearing opulent kaftans), Lalla Salma is also an educated woman. She is the first publicly acknowledged princess consort with a royal title in Morocco. She's a strong woman who lost her mother at the age of three but she still became a successful information services engineer before becoming Her Royal Highness. She and the King have two kids, crown prince Moulay Hassan (8) and princess Lalla Khadija (4). She is active in cancer organizations.

Queen Rania of Jordan (41) has pretty much continued the image of Jordan's profound, extremely elegant and beautiful queens started by queen Noor before her. As the wife of king Abdullah she fights for the education of children both in Jordan and around the world. She studied business before becoming the Queen. She got engaged to the King just two months after they've met.  They now have four kids, crown prince Hussein, prince Hasheem and princesses Iman and Salma. Unlike her husband's mother who remained just a princess consort, Rania's husband has
proclaimed her Queen after he became the King. She is one of the very few queens who have and use their Facebook and Twitter profiles.
SHEIKH RASHID OF DUBAI 
And for my ladies, here's probably the hottest royal prince from the Arabic world: Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum or just Sheikh Rashid, is the eldest son of the ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He was born in 1981. and is now considered one of the hottest royals thanks to his dashing looks, his education at
Sandhurst Military Academy in the United Kingdom, and his status of a successful athlete who has won a lot of laurels for his country at the major competitions. He is the president of UAE National Olympic Committee. It's interesting that he has equally dashing and attractive brothers Majid and Hamdan.
SO DO YOU HAVE SOME FAVOURITE CROWNED HEADS, AND DO YOU LIKE FOLLOWING STORIES ABOUT ROYAL FAMILIES?

1ST TRAILER FOR SF FILM "IN TIME" WITH JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE & AMANDA SEYFRIED! FRANK FRAZETTA'S "FIRE AND ICE" TO GET A FILM! WOLVERINE WILL FIGHT AGAINST SILVER SAMURAI! "VOLTRON" & "SHRAPNEL" FILMS!

 The story which HOLLYWOOD SPY wrote about more than a year ago has been confirmed at the Comic Con according to "MovieWeb": Robert Rodriguez will make a live action film out of late
fantasy artist Frank Frazetta's FIRE AND ICE saga. The story starts when a tiny village gets destroyed by a surging glacier, which serves as the deadly domain for the evil Ice Lord, Nekron. The only survivor is a young warrior, Larn, who vows to avenge this act of destruction. The evil continues, however, as Nekron's palace of ice heads straight towards Fire Keep, the great fortress ruled by the good King Jarol. When Jarol's beautiful daughter, Teegra, is abducted by Nekron's sub-human ape-like creatures, Larn begins a daring search for her. What results is a
tense battle between good and evil, surrounded by the mystical elements of the ancient past.
____________
 Speaking at Comic Con, Hugh Jackman has revealed that the main villain in WOLVERINE will be Silver Samurai, the mutant son of a former Japanese crimelord! Coming out in 2012 the film will be directed by James Mangold. Also officially announced at Comic Con is the film adaptation of VOLTRON, popular animated show which follows five young warriors who defend the galaxy as pilots of a battalion of ultra-high-tech Robot Lions, powerful vessels with the ability to join
together to form a fearsome mega-weapon known as Voltron: Defender of the Universe. Although all of her films were huge flops, and she never justified her Oscar nor won the love of cinemagoers, Hilary Swank will star in the film adaptation of sf comic book SHRAPNEL according to "Variety"! Set in the year 2250, the story follows a former Solar Alliance Marine who leads an uprising on Venus, the last free colony, against an oppressive solar government in order to fight for the freedom of her people.
__________________________________________________
It's finally here, the first trailer for sf film IN TIME by amazing director Andrew Niccol most famous for his master piece GATTACA. Featuring all of Hollywood's hottest young stars -
Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Alex Pettyfer, Olivia Wilde, Cillian Murphy, Vincent Kartheiser - the film is set in the not-too-distant future in which the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest try to negotiate for their immortality. Timberlake plays a poor young man who comes into a fortune of time and then ends up on the run from a corrupt police force known as 'time keepers'. Check out the trailer for the film which premieres this October!
