Joe: Retaliation. Beware there are spoilers....
Lorenzo di Bonaventura At the end of making Red (2010), producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Stardust) presented his visual effects supervisor for the cinematic adaptation with a script intended to be the sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009). “I loved it,” recalls James Madigan (Iron Man 2) who went on to have conservations with the producers and Paramount about G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013). “The first question I asked them was, ‘Being this is a franchise is the look and feel of the first Joe which made the film a bit cartoony something we’re looking »

We've known for some time that Peter Jackson plans to step in to direct a sequel to Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, but despite the fact that the filmmaker is currently preoccupied with the remaining two instalments in his Hobbit trilogy - with The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug due this December, followed by The Hobbit: There and Back Again in December 2014 - Spielberg has now confirmed that plans are afoot to begin shooting the Tintin sequel this year, with a view to releasing the film in 2015.
"Peter Jackson is directing the next one, I'm producing," Spielberg tells Times of India. "We have a script and we're going to start performance capture probably at the end of this year. Don't hold me to it, but we're hoping the film will come out around Christmas-time in 2015. We know which books we're making, we »

Murray Abraham as Gregor Screenwriters: J.H.

Written by "Fringe" writer J.H.

Sean Penn (Fair Game) is at war with Los Angeles in the R-rated crime movie Gangster Squad.
Set in 1949 Los Angeles, the drama film is based on true events. Penn plays Brooklyn-born Mob king Mickey Cohen, who rules the City of Angels, reaping his ill-gotten gains from drugs, guns, prostitutes and, if he has his way, every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it with the protection of his paid goons, as well as the police and politicians under his thumb.
But a small crew of Lapd outsiders are determined to bring down Cohen, led by Sgt. John O’Mara (Josh Brolin, Men in Black 3) and Sgt. Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling, Blue Valentine).

Need endorphins? The box office stands ready to accommodate. Ribald, relentless, and eminently enjoyable, Identity Thief offers the off-color comedy enthusiast sumptuous fare indeed. From director Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) comes this raucous road movie starring Jason Bateman as Sandy Patterson, financial manager and loving family man, who finds himself facing down Melissa McCarthy’s Sandy Patterson, aka Diana, aka the identity thief who dismantled his life with a recent unauthorized shopping spree.
When the justice system fails him, Sandy figures his best chance of recovery is to recover her himself, and thus begins this latest of the genre, reminiscent of the gold standard Midnight Run (if you haven’t seen that, queue it up for after). This of course proves exponentially more difficult than Sandy had imagined, as naturally Diana resists the idea and has two other interested and dangerously single-minded parties already in hot pursuit.

Musical has already matched last year's top four films, but while Flight remains grounded, Django Unchained will be Tarantino's biggest UK hit
The winner
With a reasonable drop of 31%, Les Misérables retains the top spot for a fourth straight week, and has now delivered a cumulative total of £30.14m. Tom Hooper's musical is the first release of 2013 to pass the £30m milestone. Last year, an impressive seven films achieved the tally: Skyfall, The Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Avengers Assemble, the final Twilight, Ted and Ice Age 4. The Hobbit was the only 2012 release to manage four consecutive weeks at the top spot – Skyfall's four weekend wins were non-consecutive – so backers Universal will be happy that its film has already managed this impressive feat.
Projecting the final gross of Les Misérables remains a challenge. Mamma Mia had reached £32.1m at the same point of its run, and »

Open Road Films has just released the 3rd trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s final theatrical film, Side Effects starring Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Jude Law and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Side Effects is a provocative thriller about Emily and Martin (Rooney Mara and Channing Tatum), a successful New York couple whose world unravels when a new drug prescribed by Emily’s psychiatrist (Jude Law) – intended to treat anxiety – has unexpected side effects.
Emily (Academy Award nominee Rooney Mara) and Martin Taylor (Channing Tatum) are a young, beautiful, wealthy couple living the good life, with a mansion, a sailboat and every luxury money can buy—until Martin is sent to prison for insider trading. For four years, Emily waits for him in a tiny apartment in upper Manhattan, but his release is just as devastating as his incarceration and Emily sinks into a deep depression.

Remember back in 2009 when Sam Worthington was the biggest thing since sliced bread? After the success of James Cameron’s Avatar, the little known actor broke out and became a bankable name. But then something happened, the buzz surrounding the Aussie actor died down considerably. Films like The Debt, Man on a Ledge and Texas Killing Fields have pushed him far under the radar. Now, the actor may just want to take it easy before he gears up for Avatar 2, but his rather unimpressive filmography as of late isn’t helping his career. And it seems as that trend will continue as Worthington is set to star in an indie action/thriller titled For The Dogs.
An adaptation of Kevin Wignall’s novel, the Phillip Noyce helmed film will be penned by Oren Moverman. For those unfamiliar with the story, it follows a “a lone assassin (Worthington) in Italy »

Hey, if you needed a professional hitman to protect you from other professional hitmen, I don’t suppose the guy from “Avatar” is such a bad choice. Minus the wheelchair, I mean. Sam Worthington has signed on to star in “Salt” director Phillip Noyce’s “For the Dogs”, a film that would find the “Terminator Salvation” star playing “an assassin who agrees to help a bright college girl exact revenge on those who mercilessly murdered her parents and younger brother.” Noyce will direct for FilmEngine Entertainment from a script by Oren Moverman, who adapted the novel of the same name by Kevin Wignall. Worthington’s character will be one of those brooding hitman trying to get out of the business, but keeps getting pulled back in. Wignall’s novel is a bloody, fast-pace thriller, so expect the movie to be similarly action-packed. Anthony Rhulen and Navid McIlhargey will produce. Sam Worthington »

Hunger Games fans will be very much looking forward to the forthcoming release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2012 blockbuster, and thanks to the new issue of Entertainment Weekly we now have a couple of first look images featuring two of its stars, Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) and Sam Claflin (Snow White and the Huntsman), as Katniss Everdeen and Finnick Odair:
The sequel begins with Katniss having returned home safe after winning the 74th annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow (Donald Sutherland) prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever. »
