Franklyn Trailer

It's not clear yet if the U.S. will get this movie or not. It just screened at the London Film Festival and was picked up for U.K. and European release next month, but so far, no news that an American distributor has acquired it. Which, would be a shame if it didn't. Adult (not porno, but thematically mature as opposed to a kiddie film that might appeal to a segment of the adult population) fantasy is few and far between, specially ones that look as good as "Franklyn" does. And the cast is no slouch either. You get Eva Green, Ryan Phillipe, and some great British talent that has worked on a host of awesome films in front of and behind the cameras ranging from "Startdust" and "Layer Cake" to "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and the upcoming comic book adaptation "Kick-Ass". Did I mention the movie looks fantastic as well? Check out the trailer and cross your fingers. I totally want to see this. I hope it makes its overseas journey to our American theaters.

Trailers Cubed

I've got three trailers for you today. One, looks awesome. The other, could be awesome. And the third, is downright evil.


This first trailer is for the "Golden Compass" movie coming out soon. It's fantasy much like "The Lord of the Rings" was, but even more fantastical. It's got Daniel Craig in it, along with Nicole Kidman, Eva Green, and Sam Elliot as a cowboy. Hmm, that's a stretch. Oh, it also has talking polar bears, which almost guarantees that my wife will want to watch it.


This next trailer is for FOX's new Terminator hour-long drama debuting this fall. It's called "The Sarah Connor Chronicles", and it stars Lena Heady (the Spartan queen from "300"), some kid as John Connor, and Summer Glau as a terminator. It might be OK, but I know that if I start watching it, and enjoying it, FOX, will just pull the plug on it like every other show I've loved on FOX.


This next trailer comes from MTV, who decided it would be a great idea to make "My Super Sweet 16" into a movie. Fuck them. That's all I have to say about that.

HDH - Eva Green

Bond girls are hot. Hump'ably hot. This is why Eva Green is this week's "Hump Day Hottie". This actress is not all that well known here in the states, but if you have seen Bertolucci's "The Dreamers", you would already be a fan of her. Reason: She's not afraid to do nudity. And that is, after all, the mark of a great actress. Of course, if that actress is Kathy Bates, then you have to do anything possible to keep her clothed, but Eva Green can get away with it. Mainly because she looks the way that she looks. Too bad the newest Bond movie has been getting slaughtered by the CG Penguin movie. People should check that movie out more. If not for the action, then for the sexiness that just oozes out of this chick. One more picture below.
