Jackie Chan’s ‘Chinese Zodiac’ Marks New Phase in Star’s Career
8 June 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
While his Hong Kong colleagues such as Chow Yun-fat, Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh — who each took a crack at Hollywood in the late ’90s — have all slowed their tempo, Jackie Chan, at 59, seems to be busier than ever.
“I have always focused on doing both Hollywood movies and Chinese movies. I shot “Karate Kid,” then I made “CZ12″ (aka “Chinese Zodiac”). I just finished shooting “Police Story 2013″ and will do “Skiptrace” and then probably “Karate Kid 2″ next year. It really depends on the story and script,” Chan tells Variety.
Few living actors can claim the kind of clout that Chan pulls on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. In Hong Kong and particularly in China, his name remains a strong magnet for investors, and while he may work with the studios most of the time in the U.S., he has been able to get the greenlight for personal »

A Mad Man Found For ‘The Expendables 3′ Villain?
7 June 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Well, creator Sylvester Stallone attempted to nab Oscar-winning director Mel Gibson to helm the third action-packed outing for his Expendables crew, but after failing in that respect, Sly appears to have not left it there. Word coming out of Hollywood is that Gibson has signed for the other side of the camera as the protagonist role in the action sequel, which also recently confirmed would feature newcomers to the franchise, Nicolas Cage, Wesley Snipes, Jackie Chan and Milla Jovovich.
The controversial superstar, best know for roles in the Lethal Weapon and Mad Max series’, has had his problems of late but still attempting a resurgence following acclaimed roles in The Beaver and Edge Of Darkness. Coincidentally, he’ll next be seen on villain duties in Robert Rodriguez’ crazy action sequel, Machete Kills.
We await confirmation but would you like to see Gibson in The Expendables 3, which is being directed »

'Expendables 3': Mel Gibson to Play the Villain?
7 June 2013 5:25 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
The idea of the "Expendables" movies, in which a ragtag band of action stars both old and new (mostly old) are assembled for one grandiose ass-kicking extravaganza, is always more fun than actually watching an "Expendables" movie. That said, the sequel was a vast improvement on the original, and with a new rumor revealed today, the third film could be something to get legitimately jazzed about. ShowBiz 411 (via Movies.com) is reporting that Mel Gibson is being courted to play the villain in "The Expendables 3." Yes, please.
The third feature, which should reunite most of the stalwarts from the previous installments (series mastermind Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, etc.), has added some color to the new cast with recent announcements that newly freed Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage, Milla Jovovich, and Jackie Chan were set to co-star. Perhaps even more exciting is the news that Australian director Patrick Hughes, who »

More Ass Kicking Action In International Badges Of Fury Trailer
4 June 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Did you feel letdown with the martial arts taking a backseat to the goofy comedy in the last few trailers to the cop thriller Badges of Fury? Well, don't worry because an international trailer intended for the Singapore market (via Shaw Organisation/Scorpio East) has arrived and it showcases more of the fight choreography by action director Corey Yuen. With awesome onscreen fighters including the always amazing Jet Li, Wu Jing (Sha Po Lang) and Collin Chou (The Matrix Reloaded, Flashpoint), here's hoping they will deliver the goods. The cast also includes Wen Zhang, Michelle Chen, Liu Shi Shi, Liu Yan, Leung Siu Lung, Raymond Lam and Stephen Fung.When a spate of eerie murders erupts across Hong Kong, two troublemaking cops are assigned to the case.

The Expendables 3 Gets A Release Date
4 June 2013 7:15 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Whenever anyone asks me why I like The Expendables franchise, I respond with a blank look and then shout: “Old People Blowing Things Up!” Because, really, that’s what we’re all here for. With The Expendables 3 getting a proper (read: awesome) cast together, it was only a matter of time before Lionsgate informed us of how long we’ll have to wait for the next installment of Muscleheads in Steroidland. Announced this week, the release date for The Expendables 3 is set for August 15th, 2014.
That is far too long, in my opinion. I want my massive explosions Now. This Expendables has, if possible, more badasses per square inch than either of the other two combined. Along with the original Expendables cast – including Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, etc. – we have confirmed cast members in Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, Mickey Rourke and Nicolas Cage. There has been »

Trailer for Jet Li’s ‘Badges of Fury’ Looks to Have Mistaken Sexy Laughs for Fury
3 June 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Like so many international film stars (and filmmakers) before him, Jet Li came to America looking to conquer Hollywood but found that his best work remained the movies he made back home. He hit our shores in 1998 as the sole bright spot in Lethal Weapon 4 before heading up some films of varying quality including Romeo Must Die, Kiss of the Dragon and the woefully underseen Danny the Dog (aka Unleashed). Nine years later though and he was apparently done making movies on this side of the pond (aside from supporting roles in Sylvester Stallone’s Expendables trilogy). Unsurprisingly his best film in that period was the Chinese production of Hero. Li’s worked steadily back in China since then averaging up to two films per year, but aside from the Stallone flicks they’ve all been period pieces. That’s set to change this summer with the release of Badges of Fury, and »

Lionsgate Schedules 'The Expendables 3' for August 2014 Release
3 June 2013 12:34 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Briefly: Lionsgate has scheduled The Expendables 3, the latest sequel in the ensemble action franchise, for its regular late August spot next year (Expendables 2 opened in August last year). Being directed by Patrick Hughes, Expendables 3 will hit theaters on August 15th, 2014. Besides the usual Expendables crew lead by Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li and Jason Statham, the cast for this next one will likely include Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage and Milla Jovovich, which sounds crazy and yet awesome. Shooting hasn't started yet, but we expect more casting updates before then. In addition, Schwarzenegger & Stallone's Escape Plan (formerly The Tomb) was also rescheduled to October 18th, 2013 from September. »

Milla Jovovich to Join The Expendables 3!
31 May 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's a new casting update for The Expendables 3: Resident Evil's Milla Jovovich is in negotiations to join the explosive sequel as one of the ultimate badasses. I guess if any woman were to join in on the action in this testosterone filled franchise, it would be Jovovich. She's earned it.
Deadline is also reporting that the studio is also in "advanced negotiations" with Jackie Chan, Wesley Snipes, and Nicolas Cage. There's are all names that have previously been mentioned, but it now looks like they will actually end up being in the movie.
The movie will be directed by Patrick Hughes (Red Hill), and it's scheduled to start production in August. The cast of the previous film also included Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Nan Yu, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Liam Hemsworth, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Stallone Nabs Four New Names For ‘The Expendables 3′ Cast
31 May 2013 9:55 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
While making superstar action ensemble The Expendables in 2010, director and star Sylvester Stallone promised genre fans a spectacular action extravaganza the likes of which we’d never seen. I don’t know about you lot but I thought it was spectacularly shit and wish I’d ‘never seen’. I just couldn’t bother my arse about the follow-up. Still, many fans were impressed with both efforts leading to confirmation the spine of the cast would return for a threequel.
The project recently confirmed Red Hill writer/director Patrick Hughes would be helming the The Expendables 3 with the likes of Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren and Mickey Rourke, all returning. There’s also been word Stallone has been attempting to coax Jackie Chan, Nicolas Cage and the recently-released from prison, Wesley Snipes, as new blood.
We’re now hearing all three of those names are in final negotiations »

Film Review: ‘Now You See Me’
31 May 2013 9:24 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
The tricks are as flashy as the plotting is flimsy in “Now You See Me,” an illusion-filled caper from director Louis Leterrier that poses no serious challenge to Christopher Nolan’s “The Prestige” or David Mamet’s “The Spanish Prisoner” in the pantheon of cinematic sleight-of-hand. Thanks to some accomplished hocus pocus and an appealing cast, this would-be “Ocean’s Eleven” of the magic world remains watchable throughout, even as it plods along without ever quite fulfilling its potential. Pic’s title portends its fortunes at a crowded summer box office, with considerably more robust ancillary prospects in store. Indeed, “Now You See Me” feels like nothing so much as a passable time-filler stumbled across by chance on latenight cable.
A jaunty pre-credits sequence introduces us to four illusionist protags: cocky prestidigitator J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg); escape artist Henley (Isla Fisher), who was once Atlas’ assistant; hypnotist/mentalist Merritt »

Milla Jovovich And Nicolas Cage In Negotiations For The Expendables 3
31 May 2013 9:10 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Blimey, and you thought the cast for Inherent Vice was spiralling out of control. With The Expendables 3 star Sylvester Stallone taking to Twitter almost as frequently as Bryan Singer, we’ve had a number of hints at new additions. Now Deadline are reporting that Resident Evil‘s Milla Jovovich and all-round badass Nicolas Cage are in the final stages of negotiations to climb aboard the franchise.
Sly has been revving up fans in preparation for the third instalment via social networking. In recent weeks he’s suggested that action meisters Steven Seagal and Antonio Banderas could be in the running for a part. While there’s no confirmation of their activity in the film, there has been another two actors name-dropped. This latest spot of news, which comes from the mouth of Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer, made mention that alongside Jovovich and Cage, Wesley Snipes and Jackie Chan are also firming up contracts. »

Exclusive Interview: Now You See Me Director Louis Leterrier
30 May 2013 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
Second generation French filmmaker Louis Leterrier first came onto the American movie scene as part of the wave of Luc Besson directors with The Transporter and its sequel, but his real shining moment was directing the martial arts thriller Unleashed , starring Jet Li and Morgan Freeman, a movie that combined dynamic and intense action with truly heartwarming dramatic moments, not something easy to pull off. In short order, he got the gig to direct the semi-reboot The Incredible Hulk , starring Edward Norton, followed by the remake of Clash of the Titans , both which did well at the box office but had their share of problems ultimately leading to disappointed fans. Now Louis is back with the magic-based heist movie Now You See Me , starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody »

Now You See Me: Action filmmaker Louis Leterrier's output is all over the map, from the fitfully delightful Transporter 2 and superior Jet Li vehicle Unleashed to that irredeemable Clash of the Titans remake. His latest sounds pretty dopey—the FBI tries to stop a group of bank-robbing magicians—but Leterrier is sure to deliver at least one killer set piece, and who could argue with a cast boasting Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, and Michael Caine? At the very least, those four are getting pools out of this.

Alternate Endings For Each M. Night Shyamalan Movie
28 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Warning: Here be Spoilers, obviously.
It's entirely possible — nay, likely — that M. Night Shyamalan conjures the endings of the movies he writes and directs before he does anything else. With M. (M. Night? Night? Shy-Shy? I like "M," it's fun), the ending makes the movie, even if it instantly renders what came before it completely implausible/ relatively asinine/ two hours of your life that you'll never get back.
And while M.'s done a fair-to-good job at coming up with the best endings to his movies — a solid B+, if you will — we at NextMovie thought we could do just a bit better. It's no offense to Shy-Shy, necessarily, and hindsight is always 20/20, but needless to say, we could have helped him out a bit at the time he first jotted down these endings on a napkin at Applebee's.
And now, as we prepare for the release of "After Earth »
