Hitting Us theatres at the end of the month, Now You See Me more than earns itself a top spot on our most anticipated movies of the month list. This is one of a handful of films coming out this year that I’ve been looking forward to for what feels like forever.
With its release date very much on the horizon, Summit have debuted the first four minutes from the film, helping to whet your appetite that little bit more. And if you’re looking for a fuller look at the film as a whole, then you can head over to watch the brilliant latest trailer that debuted last month as well.
Now You See Me pits an elite FBI squad in a game of cat and mouse against “The Four Horsemen”, a super-team of the world’s greatest illusionists.

Actors that should have played James Bond
8 May 2013 12:39 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
For the last 50 years, the James Bond franchise has produced some of the best action / adventure movies in cinema and those that were fortunate to land the role of James Bond have went on to become icons of film. Casino Royale has the distinction of being one of the top casino movies of all-time and other films such as Goldfinger and Dr. No, and others are considered cult classic. Daniel Craig has certainly made the role of James Bond his own, but there are some other actors that we would love to see take on the role of 007.
The star of films such as The Transporter, The Italian Job, Crank, War and The Expendables has that perfect balance of rugged good looks and kick ass fighting skills that you would want out of James Bond. Who needs suave when you can beat a man to death with his »

Michelle Rodriguez Confirms Big Action Name for 'Fast & Furious 7'
7 May 2013 8:30 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Not too long ago, a big spoilery rumor hit the web regarding Fast & Furious 7, including details about something happening towards the end of the film or in a credits scene following Fast & Furious 6. If you've been following the franchise with a lot of vigor, then you probably have already heard the news of a big name joining the franchise in the next sequel, aiming for release next summer with James Wan (Insidious, Saw) in the director's seat. However, since it's a pretty damn cool surprise, we decided to hold off on the story. But now actress Michelle Rodriguez has confirmed the involvement of this new talent. Following a rumor that first surfaced in October of 2011, The Transporter himself, Jason Statham, will be in the seventh film in the franchise. Speaking with Desde Hollywood (via The Playlist), Rodriguez said, "Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, when you see these guys in »

First TV Spot for Now You See Me – ‘Always Be the Smartest Guy in the Room’
2 May 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Now You See Me has long been one of my most anticipated movies of the year, sitting nicely alongside the likes of Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, and Fast and Furious 6 as a different blend of summer blockbuster.
Led by an all-star cast, we’ve seen nothing but good things from the movie so far, with the latest trailer continuing to suggest it’s a must-see affair. And with its Us release date on the horizon at the end of the month, Summit have released a great first TV spot.
Now You See Me pits an elite FBI squad in a game of cat and mouse against “The Four Horsemen”, a super-team of the world’s greatest illusionists.
“The Four Horsemen” pull off a series of daring heists against corrupt business leaders during their performances, showering the stolen profits on their audiences while staying one step ahead of the law. »

Scarlett Johansson Has Some Ass-Kicking to Do in Luc Besson's 'Lucy'
26 April 2013 9:08 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Plenty of audiences have already seen Scarlett Johansson kick ass as Black Widow in The Avengers and Iron Man 2, and she'll have a key role in Captain America: The Winter Soldier next year. Now THR says she'll be getting into action with The Fifth Element and The Professional director Luc Besson for his latest action thriller Lucy. The actress is in final talks to lead the film about a woman who is forced to become a drug mule. But rather than just carrying the drug, it enters her system and turns her into a lethal vixen who can absorb knowledge with ease, move things with her mind and doesn't feel any pain at all. More below! Sounds like the perfect return to form for Besson who crafted some great action thrillers back in the 90s, but has stayed fairly low key behind the camera, mostly producing and writing over the last decade. »

Scarlett Johansson Leads Luc Besson’s Action-Flick ‘Lucy’
25 April 2013 11:34 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Scarlett Johansson. That’s a good start, right? Yes, the exquisite Scarlett is joining forces with Luc Besson, the man behind Taken, The Transporter, The Fifth Element and, of course, the excellent Leon. If you haven’t seen the latter, it’s once of those you should and see how much has been stolen from it since 2004.
Anyway, she’s confirmed for the lead role in his upcoming action-thriller Lucy. In this film, she’s somewhat of a drug mule but when one day it gets into her system, it gives her superpowers that include telekinesis, martial arts brilliance and a rather handy extra bonus – immunity to pain. In essence: an awesome machine of power.
Johansson isn’t a stranger to a bit of action as The Avengers proved with her playing Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow. I think this sounds fantastic, and if Gina Carano can shine in Haywire, I »

Scarlett Johansson To Star In Luc Besson’s Action-Thriller ‘Lucy’
25 April 2013 11:04 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
The Hollywood Reporter says that Scarlett Johansson (Lost In Translation, The Avengers) is in final negotiations to star in the action-thriller Lucy, directed by Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, Léon: The Professional).
Lucy, written by Besson, is about a woman who is forced to be a drug mule. However, the drugs get into her system, transforming her into an ass-kicking machine. The Hollywood Reporter writes that with the drugs, she can, “…absorb knowledge instantaneously, is able to move objects with her mind and can’t feel pain and other discomforts.”
Johansson is currently filming Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Writer/Director Besson wrote the The Transporter and Taken films. It was partly thanks to the success of the Taken films that made this upcoming English-Language film from EuropaCorp possible.
Besson recently finished the Mafia drama Malavita, starring: Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones. Malavita will be released later this year. »

Scarlett Johansson Joins Luc Besson's Action Thriller Lucy
25 April 2013 5:06 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Scarlett Johansson is going to kick some major ass in Luc Besson's latest action thriller film project called Lucy. Besson, who wrote and directed films such as The Professional, Taken, The Fifth Element, and The Transporter, will direct the movie from a script he wrote.
The story "centers on a woman forced to become a drug mule. But the drug instead goes into her system, transforming her into an ass-kicking machine. She can absorb knowledge instantaneously, is able to move objects with her mind and can't feel pain and other discomforts."
It definitely sounds like a movie Besson would make! This seems like a crazy role for Johansson to take on. Yeah, we've all seen her ballistically beat the hell out of people as Black Widow, but Besson is going to take that action-packed craziness to a whole new level with her in Lucy. Besson knows how to entertain his audience. »

New Trailer for Now You See Me with Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo & Morgan Freeman
15 April 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Louis Leterrier’s Now You See Me is deservedly one of the summer’s most anticipated blockbusters, with the magician/heist movie featuring arguably the best cast of the year.
The brilliant first trailer landed late last year, and was by far one of my favourite trailers of 2012. And after catching a great new poster last month, Summit have debuted another terrific trailer, giving us another glimpse at the movie as its May release date draws closer.
Now You See Me pits an elite FBI squad in a game of cat and mouse against “The Four Horsemen”, a super-team of the world’s greatest illusionists.

'Now You See Me' Movie: 7 Things We Learned On Set
14 April 2013 6:31 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
"Now You See Me," a heist movie with magicians standing in as the thieves, is set to hit theaters this May. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg as the cocky leader of the Four Horsemen, a group of magicians plotting to steal millions of dollars and give it to their audience. Filmed on location in Paris, New Orleans, Las Vegas, and New York, the picture, from Louis Leterrier ("The Transporter"), pulls together a surprisingly varied cast from Woody Harrleson to Michael Caine to Mark Ruffalo. At the 5 Pointz urban graffiti showplace last November, the stars of "Now You See Me" sat down for several roundtable discussions with a few select outlets. Below, are sevens things we learned on-set. It took a long time to convince the cast to join this movie "We took seven months to cast, so a long time," Leterrier said, "Everybody, anyone, actors, are terrified it's going to »

Now You See Me Trailer: It’s a Kind of Magic
11 April 2013 11:54 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Now You See Me looks like a heist movie mixed with a magic movie mixed with a Michael Caine/Morgan Freeman movie swirled into a Jesse Eisenberg/Woody Harrelson movie. It's from Louis Leterrier, the director of unrepentant action fare like The Transporter and Clash of the Titans, so it appears to be a change of pace. Still, we can imagine the Modern Day Robin Hood/99 Percenters Strike Back themes getting dropped pretty quickly in favor of some scenes designed strictly for oohs and ahhs. Now it's time for us to accept bets on the likelihood of a character saying abracadabra and making a smug CSI face afterward. »

Now You See Me has debuted a new trailer.
The trailer centres around Morgan Freeman's magic expert and banker victim Michael Caine discussing a mysterious troupe of bank-robbing illusionists.

Louis Leterrier - who has previously worked on Clash of the Titans, The Transporter and The Incredible Hulk - has directed the thriller.
Now You See Me will arrive in Us cinemas on May 31 and in the UK on July 5. »
Who’s Being (Snake) Eyed For ‘Escape From New York’ Reboot?
26 March 2013 1:15 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
It appears Tom Hardy and Jason Statham are favourites for the lead role, at least amongst those at Silver Pictures and Studio Canal, after the two companies landed the remake rights to John Carpenter’s cult action classic, Escape From New York. The role of wise-cracking bad-ass Snake Plissken was made famous by the brilliant Kurt Russell in 1981, as well as the bonkers 1997 sequel, Escape From L.A.
Both studios have united to remake Carpenter’s film as an origin story and hope to continue it as a new franchise/trilogy. The deal came about after New Line’s decision to let the rights lapse following their own previous attempt at a remake that saw Breck Eisner and Gerard Butler sign on as director and star, before the project eventually collapsed.
It’s rumoured they’ve targeted Hardy and Statham for the lead but The Transporter star appears to more likely »

Tom Hardy And Jason Statham In The Running For Escape From New York Remake?
26 March 2013 7:55 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
According to NY Daily News Tom Hardy and Jason Statham are in line to star as Snake Plissken - the role made famous by Kurt Russell - in the planned remake of John Carpenter's Escape From New York. Apparently Jeremy Renner and Gerard Butler had previously been linked to the role in the reboot of the 1981 sci-fi classic, but now it seems production bosses at Studio Canal are keen to land The Dark Knight Rises villain Hardy or The Transporter star Statham to portray anti-hero Plissken. Breck Eisner, Len Wiseman and Brett Ratner have all been attached to the project in the past, but so far no new director has been mentioned in connection with the reboot. We're not 100% on this, so until it's confirmed treat it as a rumor for now. »
'Hummingbird' Trailer Gives Jason Statham A Reason To Exist
22 March 2013 11:45 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Jason Statham is a disappointment to me. He has a real movie presence, and it's not surprise that he's developed the a reputation as an action hero. Yet, he almost never does anything interesting with it. Every movie with his name stamped on it feels like a Transporter clone. And The Transporter was never that good to begin with. The writer of Eastern Promises has made his directorial debut with a new film called Hummingbird, and it might give Statham that much needed creative injection. »

Watch: Jason Statham Shows His Acting Chops In Trailer For Steven Knight's 'Hummingbird'
22 March 2013 10:21 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Jason Statham's known for pretty much one thing: cracking heads. From "The Transporter" to his most recent film "Parker," if you see his big bald mug on the poster, you can be pretty sure that the film's going to involve the actor kicking seven shades of shit out of anyone that crosses his path (with the possible exception of "Gnomeo & Juliet."). If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Or ideally, hit it with an iron pipe until it's broke. To some degree, "Hummingbird," the actor's next starring role seems to fit under the Stathspolitation genre, fits right in, but it's got a little bit more of a pedigree than usual, and from the looks of the trailer that just hit Yahoo, we might have something a little different from the actor this time around. Marking the directorial debut of Steven Knight, who won acclaim with his scripts for "Dirty Pretty Things" and "Eastern Promises, »

Watch: Jason Statham in UK Trailer for Gritty 'Hummingbird' Thriller
22 March 2013 9:40 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
"They say you're a hard man. It's a hard city." After the absolute garbage that was Parker, this trailer for Hummingbird should get fans of Jason Statham excited. In what looks to be a gritty and grounded thriller, Statham seems to be in rare form as a damaged ex-special forces soldier named Joey Jones who is homeless after going on the run from a military court-martial. It feels very similar to Dead Man Down, but thankfully, it doesn't have the ludicrous action that Statham has taken on enough in The Transporter and Crank (though those films are fun). It could be Statham's best film since The Bank Job in 2008. Watch it! Here's the first trailer for Steven Knight's Hummingbird, originally from Yahoo UK: Eastern Promises writer Steven Knight makes his directorial debut with Hummingbird, from a script he wrote himself. The story follows a damaged ex-special forces soldier named »

New Poster for Now You See Me with Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo & Michael Caine
21 March 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
There’s no doubt that Now You See Me is one of my most anticipated films of the year. Due out in the summer, the heist crime-thriller promises to be one of the best blockbusters of 2013.
We saw the awesome first trailer debut at the end of last year. And with just over two months to count down to its release, Fandango have released the new poster, featuring all of its brilliant leading cast.
An elite FBI squad is pitted in a game of cat and mouse against “The Four Horsemen,” a super-team of the world’s greatest illusionists. “The Four Horsemen” pull off a series of daring heists against corrupt business leaders during their performances, showering the stolen profits on their audiences while staying one step ahead of the law.
Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco star as the magician quartet on the wrong side of the law. »

Sofia Vergara joins Jason Statham in Heat remake

News Simon Brew 8 Mar 2013 - 06:25
Jason Statham has found his co-star in the new take on Heat...
The mighty Jason Statham is back in his rightful place this weekend, on the big screens of Britain, as Parker finally makes its UK bow. As ever though, The Statham is a busy man (Hummingbird is already complete and set for release in May), and one of his upcoming projects is a remake of Heat.
Now, to be clear: we're not talking about the Michael Mann crime thriller, starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. Instead, we're on about the 1987 film Heat, which starred professional facial hair model, Burt Reynolds.
The Statham is reuniting with his The Mechanic and The Expendables 2 director Simon West for Heat. And joining him in the cast, it's now been revealed, is Sofia Vergara. Vergara is set to be seen in the upcoming sequel, Machete Kills, »
