TRAILER FOR KATE BECKINSALE'S "UNDERWORLD AWAKENING"! HUGH JACKMAN IS "THE GREATEST SHOWMAN ON EARTH"! JIM CARREY & AMY ADAMS IN "POPEYE"! "THE AVENGERS" TO BATTLE SKRULLS!

Check out a gorgeous new poster for Lars von Trier's unusual sf drama MELANCHOLIA which premieres this November. With a stellar cast including Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, John Hurt,
Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, Alexander Skarsgard and Stellan Skarsgard the film will basically start with the end, with the audience seeing the world being crushed and destroyed at the beginning and then it will not be a film about what happens but how it happened! The film will show people who are trying to deal with the planet’s impending doom. Kirsten Dunst will be a woman who is planning to get married to Alexander Skarsgard while his father Stellan Skarsgard will play the best man and John Hurt will play Dunst's father. You can also check out the trailer for the film.

SHORT HOLLYWOOD HEADLINES
As "Variety" reports Michael Gracey (who is also directing SNOW AND THE SEVEN, the China set version of Snow White) will
helm THE GREATEST SHOWMAN ON EARTH in which Hugh Jackman will play P.T. Barnum who was known for his penchant for hoaxing a gullible public and for creating the three-ring circus. This musical won't come out any time soon since Jackman first has to do WOLVERINE and LES MISERABLES. According to "MovieWeb" beside Tom Hiddleston's Loki, the villains in THE AVENGERS will be the Skrulls, a shape-shifting race of aliens who can turn into any living creature or inanimate object. Yesterday, I've mentioned Channing Tatum's biographical project MAGIC MIKE, and since there obviously
weren't enough hunks in the cast beside him, Matthew McConaughey and Alex Pettyfer, they've now added magnetic Matthew Bomer (WHITE COLLAR) as well. He will also play a stripper. Latest rumors say that POPEYE 3D animated film is in works with the voice cast to be lead by Jim Carrey as Popeye and Amy Adams as skinny Olive!Totally delightful!

Today's trailer of the day is the fourth part of the famous vampire saga UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING. Premiering in January next year and
starring Kate Beckinsale, alongside Michael Sheen and Bill Nighy, the film will see Beckinsale's return to the role of vampire warrior Selena, who escapes imprisonment to find herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans, and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species. The film comes to cinemas in 3D and will not be directed by Cate's husband Len Wiseman but by Danish filmmakers Mans Marlind & Bjorn Stein.
