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.

‘The Air I Breathe’ New Drama 2008
Because of the writer’s strike, this movie is hardly getting any promotion. It looks good to me.
Four stories, representing the emotional principles of Love, Pleasure, Sorrow and Happiness, come together in this episodic drama from first-time director Jieho Lee.
A powerful crime boss, Fingers (Andy Garcia), subtly controls the destinies of four people whose circumstances have brought them to a crossroads in their lives. A quiet business executive (Forest Whitaker) is told an upcoming horse race has been rigged and bets everything he has on his belief the story is true.
A noted pop singer (Sarah Michelle Gellar) discovers her career is hanging in the balance when she’s forced to sever ties with her manager. A doctor (Kevin Bacon) must set aside a physician’s traditional guidelines when circumstances demand he treat the woman he loves after a serious accident.
And a criminal (Brendan Fraser) has a powerful vision of the future, but can’t decide if his premonitions are to be trusted. The Air I Breathe received its world premiere at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.
