Get ‘Taken’ aback with brand new trailer!?
Although Luc Besson’s recent directing jobs haven’t really been his usual bag of much loved tricks (‘Arthur and the Invisibles’ being the real downer) the next film penned (and produced) from his ultra cool mind already has us impressed.
Directed by ‘District B-13’s Pierre Morel, (another film produced by Besson) the film sees Liam Neeson as a protective father who finally gives the greenlight for his daughter to fly off to Paris marking what looks to be her first step into the big wide world. His darkest fears are realised when said daughter is pinched by unknown kidnappers – but it’s the kidnappers themselves that should be bricking it because by the looks of things, Daddy dearest turns out to be a well trained killier.
It’s here where we hand you the trailer and show a large amount of pity for the cocky lad on the other end of Neeson’s phone.

New ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’s’ Trailer (Red Band Rated)
It is now a solid fact that any comedy that doesn’t have the words ‘Judd Apatow’ mentioned on the poster is cursed to live in the seventh circle of hell for all eternity. Fortunately, ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ won’t be in that group as the hottest comedy name in the film industry delivers yet another rom com that will mean a return hospital visit for a side splitting stitch up.
The spotlight zips across to another of the ‘Knocked Up’ crew this time as Jason Segel plays Peter, who gets his heart shot to schnitzel when his smokin hot celebrity girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) gives him the boot.
Not one for crying over spilt milk, the lad attempts to recover from this terrible break up by going on holiday and starting things anew – which wouldn’t be so bad if his ex hadn’t ended up at the same place, and with a new fella (in the form of our own Russell Brand).

‘The Happening’ Movie Trailer
“The Happening” - In M Night Shyamalan’s “The Happening” Mark Wahlberg plays a man who takes his family on the run when the world turns upside and a cataclysmic natural crisis threatens to end the world. As usual, with M Night Shyamalan films, details are scarce. You’ll have to wait to see “The Happening” in an actual movie theater, Friday The 13th of June 2008 to find out exactly what it’s all about.We all hope that “The Happening” will be better than Shyamalan’s last film, ‘Lady In The Water.’
20th Century Fox, also, is hoping that “The Happening” happens to be a monsterous hit at the box office. Warner Bros, who released Shyamalan’s “Lady In The Water,” threw him and his script for “The Happening” out to the curb.
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, John Leguizamo, Spencer Breslin
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Studio: 20th Century Fox
Ratting: PG-13 (For terrifying images, language)

Universal Finds Their ‘Wolf Man’ Director
AICN broke the news this evening of who will bark at the moon for Universal Pictures. Joe Johnston - art director on Empire Strikes Back, Raider of the lost Ark and Return of the Jedi. And the director of Honey I Shrunk the Kids, The Rocketeer, Jumanji and Jurassic Park III - has been tapped to helm The Wolf Man remake, which fell onto a heap of trouble when Mark Romanek unexpectedly quit. Is this good news? It’s better than Ratner, but I’m still pretty bummed that Romanek left. My interest in this project has already hit rock bottom, it can only get better.

New Indiana film most like ‘Crusade’
Producer Frank Marshall has claimed that the new Indiana Jones movie is most similar to the third movie in the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.Marshall admitted that the humour in the new film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, matched up to Crusade more than than the first two action adventures.
“We have all the iconic elements we had in the first three,” he told Empire.
“I would say it’s closest to the third one. It’s all adults. I mean, you have the sidekick in Shia (LaBeouf), but you don’t have a Short Round, and I think the banter between the characters is as fun as it was in the third movie.”
