Fantastic Mr. Fox Poster
The poster for Wes Anderson’s “Fantastic Mr. Fox” is now online. The stop-motion animated film, based on the classic Roald Dahl book of the same name, features the voice talent of George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, Jason Schwartzman, Helen McCrory, Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Brian Cox.
Synopsis: “Boggis and Bunce and Bean, One short, one fat, one lean. These horrible crooks, so different in looks, were nonetheless equally mean.”
Mr. Fox, Mrs. Fox, and all their fox babies live under a hill under a tree, along with Badger, Rabbit, Weasel, and all of their families. To make ends meet, every night, Mr. Fox steals a meal from one of the three crooked farmers–Boggis, a chicken farmer, Bunce, who has a little bit of everything but only eats duck liver, and Bean, who farms turkeys and apples and subsists solely on apple cider. With his keen sense of smell, and the farmers’ distinctive diets, Mr. Fox has no problem evading them.
Dario Argento’s “Giallo” Trailer, Images And Poster
The promo has been out there for quite some time now but today we have the first official trailer for Dario Argento’s “Giallo.” Argento, Italian filmmaker who specializes in horror/thriller films is best known for a classic cult horror film “Susperia.”
“Giallo” is an English-language Italian serial killer thriller, with Adrien Brody as police inspector Enzo Avolfi. Emmanuelle Seigner (The Ninth Gate), Byron Deidra and Elsa Pataky also stars the movie.
In Italy, an American woman fears her sister may have been kidnapped. Inspector Enzo Avolfi fears it’s worse. They team up to rescue her from a sadistic killer known only as Yellow.
YELLOW chooses his victims according to their beauty, because he is not beautiful. He was locked up as a child, and now shows pleasure in kidnapping beautiful women and torturing them. He submits them to unspeakable torture, leaving long agony, until he is completely satisfied. Then he brutally kills and discards their bodies.
YELLOW is a “death machine” of incredible efficiency; he always knows exactly when and how to hit, and knows, with precision, who will be his next victim. He’s very shrewd and intelligent, identifying his prey especially among tourists. The last is an Asian student, who he has just kidnapped and holds prisoner in his sordid cache. But he has already identified the next: Celine (Elsa Pataky — Brody’s real-life girlfriend).

Summit Entertainment has revealed an updated trailer from “The Brothers Bloom” online.
Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz (The Constant Gardener), Academy Award winner Adrien Brody (The Pianist), Mark Ruffalo (Zodiac), and Academy Award nominee Rinko Kikuchi (Babel) star in “The Brothers Bloom,” a globe-trotting comedy about the last great adventure of the world’s best con men.
Welcome to the world of The Brothers Bloom, where deception is an art and nothing is as it seems. The brothers have perfected the art of swindling fortunes through years of fraternal teamwork.

For as long as they can remember, the Brothers Bloom have had only each other to depend on. From their childhood in a long series of gloomy foster homes to their highflying lives as international con artists, Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) and Bloom (Adrien Brody) have shared everything. Stephen brilliantly concocts intricate stories that the brothers live out, but he’s still searching for the perfect con, the one where “everyone gets what they want.” Meanwhile, Bloom yearns for “an unwritten life”-a real adventure, one not dreamed up by his old brother.
