The 10 Most Anticipated Films of 2010

17 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

For many people, a new year means a time for new habits, resolutions, and fresh starts.  For myself though, it’s always been about one thing and one thing only:  365 days of brand-new films!

And of course, Hollywood being Hollywood, there’s the usual litany of sequels, super-hero spectacle, remakes, and state-of-the-art Hollywood summer craziness filled with all manner of digital monsters and explosions.  But there’s also new films from Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, and - most intriguing of all - a ballet thriller from Darren Aronofsky.  Come on, admit it - you know you got excited when you heard the words “ballet thriller!”  All that, and we also see the return of Michael Douglas in his seminal role as Gordon Gecko.

Read on after the jump for my list of the ten films that - for reasons both good and bad - I’m most looking forward to seeing in the new year. »

22 hours ago | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

The popular Barely Political channel on YouTube has a series of hilarious parody videos about geek culture, pop culture and internet celebrities. In their Key of Awesome series -- which regularly garners over a hundred thousand views, sometimes in the millions -- they put up an awesome music video which pokes fun at the biggest comic book movie of all time: The Dark Knight.

The episode is titled “The Dark Knight is Confused” and stars Batman himself alongside Alfred and The Joker with a funny intro from Commissioner Gordon and his son. This is a must-watch; Batman’s beginning to wonder if his movie makes sense…

 

Key of Awesome episode #8:

I laughed out loud a few times while watching this and I applaud the folks at Barely Political for their creativity and work put in this and the other videos they have up. And much respect to Mark Douglas »

Deciphering Chris Nolan’s ‘Inception’

30 December 2009 3:36 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

So the first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Inception recently appeared online, but I’m still hearing some people say that if the trailer wasn’t stamped with “from the director of The Dark Knight” they would have little motivation to actually care about the movie.

Now granted, Inception has maintained an air of almost total mystery every since we first learned of its existence, but with the clues that have been carefully sprinkled here and there, we here at Screen Rant think there’s enough potential for this to be a breakout film in 2010. We’ll explain why, with some hi-res photos helping to paint the picture (click on any still image below for a hi-res version).

 

So let’s take a crack at the most obvious question – What is Inception all about?

In past coverage of the movie, we’ve learned that Leonardo DiCaprio stars as “a CEO »

Inception – Trailer 2

29 December 2009 12:44 PM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

The second trailer has been released for “The Dark Knight” director, Chris Nolan’s hotly anticipated sci-fi thriller, Inception, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine and Cillian Murphy. The trailer comes to us courtesy of Apple.

Given the secrecy surrounding plot, it seems the more we’re shown from Nolan’s latest outing, the more questions are raised. In other words – the more we see the less we know. Nevertheless we do know that crime which serves as the central theme to this thriller takes place in the mind, we know that the “goods” involved in this heist are in fact a solitary idea and we also know that as a Chris Nolan film, nothing here will be what it seems.

Check out the fantastic new trailer below folks, let us know what you think. We’ve also thrown in the second poster which debuted over our holiday hiatus! »

A Second Look at Christopher Nolan’s Inception

29 December 2009 7:57 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

We had “Inception” originally pegged as a sci-fi film, but let’s face it, this thing isn’t really all that sci-fi. So, we’re going to start covering it on BeyondHollywood.com more often now as a result. The latest — a brand spanking new trailer for “Inception”, which reveals more of a plot, complete with voiceover narration by Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays a high-tech thief named Cobb in the movie. He’s joined by Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Michael Caine, and Lukas Haas. “Inception” tantalizes July 16, 2010. And here’s a fresh poster from the movie released a week or so ago. Looks like Warner Bros. is trying to ape the success of Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” by way of posters. »

Trailer: U.S. version of Christopher Nolan’s ‘Inception’ lands online

29 December 2009 4:15 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Warner Bros. has released the second trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Inception. Yesterday, the studio yanked the French trailer and, we’re not sure if they had planned to release the U.S. this soon, but here it is for your eyeballs.

The same thing happened in November when the Russian trailer for Angelina Jolie’s Salt landed online. The trailer was quickly squashed and replaced with a U.S. version because we just can’t handle foreign shite.

Inception revolved around a “CEO-type” who who becomes involved in a blackmailing scandal. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page (Juno), Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai), the lovely Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose), Joseph Gordon Levitt ((500) Days of Summer), Tom Hardy (RocknRolla), Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins), Tom Berenger and Michael Caine.

Inception hits theaters on July 16.

Inception to be one of the big films for 2010

29 December 2009 3:50 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Along with Iron Man 2, Tron: Legacy and Alice In Wonderland, Inception is one of the films for 2010, which has been creating buzz among the film industry. Critics have described the minute-long trailer alone as 'fantastic'. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the man behind The Dark Knight and Memento, it features a strong line-up of stars including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sir Michael Caine, Marion Cotillard and Tom Hardy. Inception has a lot to prove, though, having been dubbed The Matrix for a new generation. With a budget reported to be around the £120 million mark, the sci-fi thriller features top-notch visuals and effects, has a complex plot set within the workings of the mind – the tag »

Christopher Nolan's new thriller "Inception" will open July 16, 2010, and a brand-new teaser trailer for the film has debuted online. It looks stunning and totally intriguing, and you can check it out below.

Plot details are kept under wraps for now, and the film is still only described as an action flick set within "the architecture of the mind." Leonardo DiCaprio plays a CEO-type character involved in a scandal.

Marion Cotillard plays his wife, and Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe and Tom Hardy co-star. Nolan ("The Dark Knight") also wrote the script. »

Awesome English ‘Inception’ Trailer

28 December 2009 8:35 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »

In case you didn’t see Sherlock Holmes this weekend or catch the French version of this video, Warner Bros has released an English, high-resolution trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Inception.  The studio has kept details surprisingly secret for the science fiction story, so please pardon the lack of explanation for the eyegasm of random images and confusing dialogue.  I honestly have no idea what’s happening either.  I can’t wait to find out.

Set “within the architecture of the mind,” Leonardo DiCaprio plays a CEO type that becomes entangled in a shady business of stealing ideas?  Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, and Ken Watanabe also star.

Watch the embedded teaser below or in super high-res Quicktime at Apple.com:

Do yourself a favor and watch it twice. Inception is out in IMAX and traditional theaters on July 16, 2010.

New ‘Inception’ Trailer Folds Cities (!)

28 December 2009 12:00 PM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Warner Brothers released a new trailer today for next summer’s mega-blockbuster, Inception.  In said trailer, A City Is Folded In Upon Itself.  This, of course, is Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to The Dark Knight, and as such is arguably the most-anticipated movie of next year.  With that said, the trailer doesn’t give away much else about the film, but it does make the film look even more compelling than the first teaser.  Perhaps it’s the brief glimpses of Lukas Haas.  Perhaps it’s Nolan’s re-purposing of Spielberg’s Jurassic Park water glass.  Nah, it’s The City Folding In Upon Itself.

A particular stand-out of this trailer is Hans Zimmer’s Epic score, which sounds suitably massive for a film in which, at one point, A City Is Folded In Upon Itself.

Inception, still starring the freaking unbelievably incredible cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, »

Second teaser for Nolan's Inception

28 December 2009 11:42 AM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

After seeing three different teasers for Christopher Nolan's upcoming Inception, I'm as baffled by the film as I was before seeing any footage from the film.

The film, which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Tom Berenger, Michael Caine, and Lukas Haas, is said to be a thriller which takes place inside someone's mind and that mind is pretty twisted to be coming up with some of these images. I'm still not sure what to make of this story but I'm more than happy to keep watching these trailers until the movie comes out. At this rate, I doubt anyone will know what the thing's about even after seeing it once never mind trying to piece things together from the bits they're giving us.

Trailer after the break. Also be sure to check out the first teaser and the French trailer. »

New Inception Trailer Reveals More Story Details

28 December 2009 9:45 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Last week we got our first poster for Christopher Nolan’s next big film Inception and today we have the very first look at the full trailer!

Up until now, we hadn’t seen much on the movie since August when we got a look at the Inception teaser trailer. The teaser didn’t show much other a few intense Leonardo DiCaprio shots and a few strange visuals. The notable part of the teaser was the brief look at a Matrix-style hallway fight sequence which looked pretty cool but there was little revealed in the video.

The long-awaited full trailer for Inception comes out this week attached to Sherlock Holmes and here finally is a full trailer for the film. There is no lack of intensity and it reveals more of the story than the teaser. We had the international trailer here briefly until the studio asked us to remove it, »

27 December 2009 9:15 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

All we know is that Inception is labeled as action/sci-fi, set within the architecture of the mind, and involves a CEO-type who becomes involved in a blackmailing scandal.

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine and Dileep Rao.

Michael Caine Loves Working for English Christmas Films

25 December 2009 8:04 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Michael Caine gives movie studio bosses a holiday boost by agreeing to star in films released during the Christmas season. The actor, who was born and raised in London, is trying to revive the U.K. economy by searching out the best British films to star in - and he picks projects that will be shot during autumn so that the industry will feel the benefit when the yuletide season rolls around.

He tells Total Film, "I'm always on the lookout for a small British film and so you've got (past movies) 'Little Voice' and 'Is Anybody There?' and 'Harry Brown'. The moment the script is British and set in England, you've got my attention."

"I love working in England. I like doing it and I think it's very good for the industry. I especially like working in the winter when it's hard for people (financially). I've »

The Return Of Sherlock Holmes

25 December 2009 11:40 AM, PST | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »

They've been making movies about Sherlock Holmes almost from the dawn of filmed entertainment. The first one appeared in 1905, and a slew of them appeared in both the silent era and the beginning of "talkies." But it was not until 1939, when Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce first appeared as Holmes and Dr. Watson that the character became the world's most fascinating detective. Between that year and the end of the '40s, Rathbone and Bruce appeared in some 16 Holmes movies while also starring in a popular weekly radio series that was also based on the Arthur Conan Doyle character. In the early '50s, they brought their characters to television, and they might have continued to play Holmes and Watson for another decade if Bruce hadn't died in 1953 at the age of 58. Others have played Holmes before and since -- most notably Jeremy Brett, Peter Cushing, John Barrymore, Peter Lawford, Michael Caine, Peter O'Toole, Christopher Lee, Leonard Nimoy, and a Muppet. But it was Rathbone who established the template -- or Conan Doyle, who might have been describing Rathbone when he originally depicted Holmes. And all his successors attempted to fit into it -- even the Muppet. Now, an all-new Sherlock Holmes has arrived in the person of Robert Downey Jr., and admirers and detractors all agree -- he's no Basil Rathbone. For older moviegoers, those earlier images of Holmes may stand in the way of enjoying the movie, several critics suggest. "The less I thought about Sherlock Holmes, the more I liked Sherlock Holmes,” Roger Ebert writes in his Chicago Sun-Times review. "But block bookings are not likely from the Baker Steet Irregulars," the society dedicated to all things Holmesian. Ebert, however, may be surprised to discover that the society and its various offshoots have posted links to online sites selling tickets to the movie and that their reaction to it is, on the whole, positive. One member wrote, "The trailers had me all set to detest the movie but, and not at all grudgingly, I enjoyed it." (He added, however, that Downey "is simply miscast.") Several critics note that the ending sets up the promise of a sequel. It's unlikely, however, that Downey and Law will ever break Rathbone and Bruce's record for Holmes installments. »
