Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:20:00 +0200 New Max Payne Posters
Plus, Day The Earth Stood Still and more Source: ComingSoon
A whole big bunch of new movie posters have arrived on the interweb today and most of them are very nice indeed. ComingSoon has two posters for the video game adaptation Max Payne. We know you can't judge a film by its poster, but the eerie beauty of that angel one has upped our interest in the film.

A sneaky peek at Shane Meadows' latest
A monochromatic tale of friendship in multi-cultural Lonodn, Somers Town harks back to Meadows' debut, TwentyFourSeven, and stars This Is England revelation Thomas Turgoose as a young runaway who befriends a shy Polish teen and embarks on a series of hare-brained money-making schemes. Trailer A right proper little gem, Somers Town hits cinemas on August 22. Source: Just Jared Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:14:00 +0200 Tim Burton Finds His Alice In Wonderland
And her name is Mia Wasikowska Source: The Hollywood Reporter
Who Mia Wasikowska, you ask? Well, we're glad you did. She's an up and coming 18-year-old Australian actress who has yet to appear in anything big, but will be seen in Defiance, Ed Zwick's war drama starring Daniel Craig, and as a young Amelia Earhart fan in Amelia, Mira Nair's take on the life of the female pilot, which stars Hilary Swank as Amelia. There seems to be an understanding online that Burton's Alice In Wonderland will be almost exclusively motion capture, a la Beowulf. But everything we've been hearing suggests otherwise, that the movie will feature mainly live-action, with sets and everything, but with performance capture elements for some characters. That would make sense, given the number of speaking parts – The Cheshire Cat, the rabbit – that can't be played by live-action actors. Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, written by Linda Woolverton (The Lion King) is set to start shooting in November. Source: Just Jared Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:13:00 +0200 Rocky Horror Re-Make On The Way
Yes, they're doing the time warp, again Source: Variety
There has been no indication of who might direct or star, but the new production will use the screenplay written by Richard O'Brien and Jim Sharman, who directed the original. Making this film seems a curious choice. Rocky Horror couldn't be much more 1970s if it were wearing a safari suit and watching Charlie's Angels. Do modern audiences want to see this updated or is the tackiness of the period that produced it part of the charm? Source: EmpireOnline Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:11:00 +0200 Hairspray 2 Headed Our Way
Which is...good. Right? Source: Variety
What with Mamma Mia! hoovering up cash like there's no tomorrow (even keeping adorable little Wall-E off the top of the UK box office, the meanie) and the High School Musical franchise boldly going where only cinema releases have gone before, it should not be any surprise that New Line want to sequelise their delightful 2007 hit Hairspray. But somehow, it still comes as a shock. The original was about chubby teen Tracy Turnblad and her bid to become a featured dancer on a TV show in 60s Baltimore - and incidentally, to desegregate TV while she's about it. The 2007 film was a musical based on the 2002 Broadway show, based in turn on the 1988 John Waters film (still following?), which starred Ricki Lake before she hosted a chat show and Divine. The 2007 film grossed more than $200 million worldwide, and the show is still going strong, hence the scramble for a sequel. This new film will be based on a treatment that Waters is writing, which will then be music-ified by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who wrote the 2002 musical, with a screenwriter to be confirmed. And they're planning a 2010 release, which in film terms means that they're going to have to get their skates on (NOTE: We don't mean that literally. Please don't do a version on rollerskates. One Xanadu is enough). What's more, none of the star-studded cast of the film have signed on for a sequel (what with no-one having thought there was any chance of that, we imagine) so negotiations would need to start soon if John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Queen Latifah, James Marsden, Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, Allison Janney, Elijah Kelley and star Nikki Blonsky are all to be reunited. Frankly, we're big fans of both the 1988 movie and the 2007 musical - yes, even with the scariness of John Travolta in a dress taken into account - but we remain to be convinced that this can ever be more than a cash-in. Fingers crossed, eh? Source: EmpireOnline Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:10:00 +0200 You Can Be Batman, Superman, Flash...
Watch the trailer for DC Universe Online Source: Gamespot
A trailer has been released for the online game DC Universe Online.

Check out the trailer at Gamespot here. The game, released on PC and PS3 later this year, lets you control a DC character in a universe full of superheroes. This game could devour many, many lives.

The FBI stole The Princess Diaries! According to Rush & Mallory of the NY Daily News, the FBI has seized Anne Hathaway’s diaries during another raid on ex Raffaello Follieri’s pad. Other items taken during the raid include an antique Bible, personal documents, watches, a Tiffany clock, and personal photos of the couple. The 25-year-old actress is also said to have changed her phone numbers and cut off all ties to her ex. “Raffaello is doing very badly,” says a friend who revealed that Follieri was hospitalized for an anxiety attack the day he was locked up. “He says people are abusing him. He’s a broken man.” Last month, Follieri was arrested on charges of conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering. Source: Just Jared Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:03:00 +0200 Julia Stiles Has iTunes on the iPod

UNICEF Ambassador Clay Aiken recently visited the East African countries of Somalia and Kenya, where UNICEF provides children with health care, education, nutrition, clean water and sanitation. The 29-year-old American Idol alum has written a series of blogs about his experience in the field. Here’s a snippet of one of Clay’s blog posts: “Getting children back to school is vital for their protection, and helps build a sense of normalcy in their lives. The re-establishment of schools in the most difficult circumstances is a testament to the commitment of UNICEF and to Kenyans. Many displaced parents told UNICEF that getting their children back to school was their top priority. “Every child has the right to an education. Education transforms lives and breaks the cycle of poverty that so many children are caught in. And an educated child will make sure his or her own children receive an education too. This is just another one of the many amazing ways UNICEF is helping children today, while also building a safer Kenya tomorrow.” Read all of Clay Aiken’s blog entries at UNICEFUSA.org. (Hint: Click on the “Permalinks” to view the full entries.) Next month, Clay will become a new father! It was announced back in May that he artificially inseminated music producer Jaymes Foster, the sister of legendary record mogul David Foster.
