Aerial Combat Trailer For ‘The Red Baron’

Trailer for the up and coming German production ‘The Red Baron‘ does away with all those tedious misty eyed exchanges of glances and cuts straight to the combat and hot dang, does it look good or what!

To quickly re-cap, The Red Baron was World War One fighter ace and utter scourge of the skies Manfred Von Richthofen. This bi-plane flying bad ass accounted for an incredible 80 Allied aircraft in during his reign over the Western front before succumbing to Canadian pilot Arthur ‘Roy’ Brown.

Now this clip really does get the juices flowing for me with it’s breathtaking realism and attention to historical detail and takes me back to all those childhood viewings of ‘The Battle Of Britain’ where combat would be subsequently re-enacted via a handful of Dinky planes in my mothers back garden!

Strap in, feel the wind whistling through your hair and check the combat show reel below!

No UK release date I can find so far but you can bet I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled.

Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson’s Best Films

The Boleyn Girls marks the first time two of Hollywood’s bigger names among young actresses, Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson, have worked together.But apart, they’ve worked plenty. What’s their best work?

Let’s take them one at a time.

Natalie Portman:

Star Wars: Episode I, II, etc. etc. (1999, 2002, 2005): Oh, wait, sorry. We said good, didn’t we? Bit of a misstep. Still, these films, in which Portman plays the wife of the future Mr. Darth Vadar, introduced Portman to a huge geek-happy fan-boy audience and kept her there for years. Probably not work she’s especially proud of – George Lucas tends to make actors behave like Pinocchio in the wanting-to-be-a-real-boy stage – but important enough that it’ll be on her tombstone.

Heat (1995): Frankly, we do not remember her in this movie, in which she played a character named Lauren Gustafson. But we liked the film so much we’re including it in the list. The same will hold true if we ever do one of these lists for Dennis Haysbert or William Fichtner. Continue Reading…

Rose Byrne joins Cage in ‘Knowing’

Rose Byrne will join Nicolas Cage in the sci-fi thriller ‘Knowing.’ The project is set to begin shooting later this month in her native Australia.

Byrne will play the daughter of a woman who buried a 1962 time capsule bearing the dates of the assassinations of historical figures, the hotel fire death of the wife of a professor (Cage) and an imminent world apocalypse.

After the professor discovers its contents and alerts her, the initially skeptical Byrne begins remembering strange incidents from her childhood.

Byrne, received a Golden Globe nomination this year for supporting role in ‘Damages’. After its first season wrapped last fall, FX ordered two additional seasons. Byrne’s feature credits include ‘Marie Antoinette’, ‘28 Days Later’ and ‘Troy’.

‘Avatar’ Details Online….Poster ?!

While James Cameron himself has said in the past that he’s been keeping Avatar’s secrets close to his chest, it was only a matter of time before things started leaking here and there.Now, as the principal photography winds down and the long haul of post-production begins on his ambitious 3D sci-fi epic, effects blog Marketsaw has posted a few details about the movie. We won’t say too much and do bear in mind that it’s entirely possible Cameron is leaking false information to throw us off the scent, but if what the blog reports is true, Avatar should look amazing.

But then, it’s James Cameron’s return to feature films. It’s not going to be Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes.
