Woody Harrelson

Woody Harrelson has signed up to appear in Columbia Pictures‘ horror comedy “Zombieland“.

Rueben Fleischer is directing from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (The Joe Schmo Show). “Zombieland” revolves around two survivors of a zombie infestation who must look past their differences to fight off the undead. Harrelson will play one of the survivors, dubbed Albequrque.

Harrelson recently starred in “Semi-Pro” and is in production on Roland Emmerich’s “2012.” He has the Will Smith starrer “Seven Pounds” in the can and wrapped “Bunraku,” a martial arts noir that mixes live action and animation.

No production schedule was released for the film.

“Battle in Seattle” New Trailer

Based on one of the most incendiary political uprisings in a generation, “Battle in Seattle” takes an in-depth look at the five days that rocked the world in 1999 as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in protest of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

What began as a peaceful protest intended to stop the WTO talks quickly escalated into a full-scale riot and eventual State of Emergency that squared off peaceful and unarmed protestors against the Seattle Police Department and the National Guard.

Stuart Townsend’s “Battle in Seattle” domestic trailer has been unveiled. The film’s impressive cast is comprised of Woody Harrelson, Charlize Theron, Andre Benjamin, Michelle Rodriguez, Ray Liotta, Joshua Jackson and Channing Tatum.

“Battle in Seattle” will hit US theaters on September 2008.

‘Sleepwalking’ With Charlize Theron On March 14, 2008

Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Dennis Hopper, Nick Stahl, AnnaSophia Robb, and Deborrah-Lee Furness star in a family drama detailing the efforts made by an eleven-year old girl to come to terms with her mother’s abandonment.

Bill Maher, who served as visual effects supervisor for the 2005 Sundance film Chumscrubber, makes his feature directorial debut with a film based on an original screenplay by that film’s scribe, Zac Stanford.

Age Restricted ‘Semi-Pro’ Trailer

Will Ferrell has this strange ability to make a blockbuster, universally respected comedy, then turn around and make totally mediocre crap, but his career isn’t affected by it at all. Last spring he brought the world Blades of Glory, which made way more money than it deserved, and this February it will be Semi-Pro. It’s another raunchy comedy about some obscure sport, except this time instead of car racing or ice skating it’s semi-professional basketball.

Most of what we’ve seen for the movie so far is just teasers, but now there’s an age-restricted trailer available at this site, which has better security than most bars I’ve checked. They say they check your name and date of birth against the information on your driver’s license, but I haven’t checked to see if you can get past ‘em. In any case, if you’re old enough to buy a lottery ticket, you can check out the trailer and be presented with… a crazy amount of blowjob jokes. Read the rest of this entry
