New Pink Panther 2 Trailer
Yahoo! today premiered the new trailer for Harald Zwart’s upcoming sequel “Pink Panther 2“.
The sequel to the 2006 flick once again stars Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau, Jean Reno and Emily Mortimer. New faces include Andy Garcia, Alfred Molina, Aishwarya Rai and John Cleese.
This time Clouseau teams up with a squad of International detectives who are just as bumbling as he is. Their mission: Stop a globe-trotting thief who specializes in stealing historical artifacts.
The script is written by Scott Neustadter, Michael H. Weber and Steve Martin.
The “Pink Panther 2″ comes to theaters February 13, 2009 from Columbia Pictures.
I am consistently shocked at how well received Steve Martin’s remake The Pink Panther did in 2006. I don’t say this because I saw it and hated it, I say this because I avoided it for fear I would hate it. It then went on to make over $80 million and earned a Certified Fresh 88% Rotten Tomatoes rating. What this says to me is that I need to get my ass out and rent it so I know what the hell I am really in for with The Pink Panther 2 which hits theaters on February 6, 2009 and just had its trailer debut online.

Ben Kingsley in Taj Mahal romance
More than 20 years after his Oscar-winning portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi, Sir Ben Kingsley returns to India and makes a film ‘Taj‘ based on the romance that inspired the building of the Taj Mahal, India’s iconic monument to love and loss.
Ben Kingsley talked with the Times of India about his new movie, and how he will star as the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal.
His co-star is Aishwarya Rai, Bollywood actress, who is a former Miss World and the star of The Mistress of Spices and she will play the Shah’s wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
Kingsley said: “I had spoken to Aishwarya last year while we were working on The Last Legion, and she very generously agreed to do the movie with me.”
It’s a pretty sad story. The emperor’s third wife, Mumtaz, died during childbirth. Granted, it was their 14th child, so there’s only so much one body can take.
Soon after the loss, the Taj Mahal started construction, and it was completed in 1648. Some years after its completion, he fell ill. His son, Aurangzeb led a deathly rebellion, imprisoned him, and it’s said that he spent the rest of his life looking at the Taj from his cell.
