A Few Best Men get more images

A couple of weeks ago we first heard about this film and was sent the trailer to show you. This time we have a set of new images for you.

Prepare to meet the worst best men ever in the outrageous comedy A FEW BEST MEN, starring Xavier Samuel (Twilight: Eclipse), Kris Marshall (Love Actually), Kevin Bishop (TV’s Star Stories), Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids) and Olivia Newton-John (Grease).

When David (Xavier Samuel) journeys to Australia to marry the love of his life, Mia, he invites his three best mates – Graham (Kevin Bishop), Luke (Tim Draxl) and Tom (Kris Marshall) – to travel with him. Having barely met his bride-to-be, they aren’t too impressed at the thought of losing their best friend to married life on the other side of the world but resolve to give him a send-off to remember. After a final carnage-filled stag night the big day arrives and the trio of ill-prepared best men end up giving a whole new meaning to the phrase 'for better or worse' as a chaos-filled wedding, complete with a deranged drug dealer, a cross-dressed sheep, a coked-up mother-in-law (Olivia Newton John) and possibly the most disastrous speech of all time, threaten to derail the marriage before it’s even begun!

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

With quite a strange cast of Steve Carell and Keira Knightley starring together in this end of the world comedy. The trailer makes the film seem to be another one of them "Bittersweet comedies" that come out once in a while. Just keep watching the trailer to the end and a great little gag.

Taking audiences on a humorous, moving, and intimate journey against an epic backdrop of Earth’s final days, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is the feature directorial debut of screenwriter Lorene Scafaria (Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist). Set in a too-near future where time at once stands still and is slipping away forever, the writer/director explores what people will do and how they will feel when humanity’s end is near.

A 70-mile-wide asteroid is en route to Earth, and the last best attempt to counter it has failed. Also failing is the marriage of soft-spoken insurance salesman Dodge (Golden Globe Award winner Steve Carell); the breaking news that the world will end in an estimated 21 days cues his wife to leave him on the spot.

Dodge is a man who has always played by the rules of life, while his neighbour Penny (Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley) is an extroverted woman who hasn’t. From these opposite perspectives, both initially choose to navigate the impending end of the world with blinders on. Dodge declines joining his friends in increasingly reckless behavior, while Penny fixates on her relationship issues with a self-absorbed musician.

The two misfits meet first when Penny has a rough night and then again when she belatedly delivers Dodge a lost letter. That letter could alter Dodge’s future; it’s from his high-school sweetheart Olivia, the love of his life. When a riot breaks out around their apartment building, Dodge realizes that he must seek Olivia out before it’s too late while Penny makes the decision to spend her last days with family in England. Seizing the moment, Dodge promises to help Penny reach her family if she will provide transport for the two of them in her car immediately. She agrees, and they escape.

On the road together, the unlikely travelling companions’ respective personal journeys accelerate, and their outlooks – if not the world’s – brighten.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is released in cinemas on July 13, 2012

What lives in Chernobyl

After making his money making Paranormal Activity and the follow-up films, Oren Peli has now branched out and moved out of the suburban home and headed over to Russia for his new project.

From the below trailer, it does seem that, in essence, the plot hasn't changed that much from Paranormal Activity apart from the location. Just watch the trailer and then leave your comments at the bottom...

"Chernobyl Diaries" is a chilling original story from Oren Peli, who first terrified audiences with his groundbreaking thriller, "Paranormal Activity". The film follows a group of six young vacationers who, looking to go off the beaten path, hire an "extreme" tour guide. Ignoring warnings, he takes them into the city of Pripyat, the former home to the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, but a deserted town since the disaster more than 25 years ago. After a brief exploration of the abandoned city, however, the group soon finds themselves stranded, only to discover that they are not alone...

With less than 2 months to go before Batman is back on the big screen, Warner Bros. has just sent over the new poster. It's a passable poster but not groundbreaking or all that interesting. It's like the artist has been going through a checklist:

Image of Christian Bale - Check. Explosions - Check. Put in the logo in a subtle way - check. More explosions - Check...

Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ “The Dark Knight Rises” is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, Leading an all-star international cast, Oscar® winner Christian Bale (“The Fighter”) again plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Principal Photography to Commence on Last Days On Mars in Jordan and the UK

LONDON (May 14, 2012) – Principal photography has begun on LAST DAYS ON MARS starring Liev Schreiber (Salt, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) alongside Olivia Williams (The Ghost Writer, An Education), Romola Garai (One Day, Atonement), Elias Koteas (Shutter Island, Crash), Tom Cullen (Weekend), Goran Kostic (In the Land of Blood and Honey, Taken) and Johnny Harris (Snow White and the Huntsman, This is England 86). Filming will take place in Jordan and at Elstree Studios in the UK. Universal Pictures will release the film in the UK while Focus Features International is handling sales and distribution for all other territories and is currently selling the film at the Cannes market.

Directed by Academy Award Nominee Ruairi Robinson (Fifty Percent Grey), LAST DAYS ON MARS is based on a short story by Sydney J. Bounds and adapted by Clive Dawson. The film is produced by Michael Kuhn (The Duchess) and Andrea Cornwell (The Scouting Book for Boys).

Michael Kuhn of Qwerty Films said: “I am delighted we were able to assemble a cast of such distinction for Ruairi’s debut film – so keenly awaited from a promising director.”

Alison Thompson, Co-President of Focus Features International said: “This brilliant cast and crew will bring exciting new director Ruairi’s vision to life and tackle the age old question of – is there anything else out there? A topic which will resonate with buyers and audiences everywhere.”

LAST DAYS ON MARS centres on a group of astronauts on an exploratory mission to Mars who, on the eve of their return to Earth, discover colonies of bacteria living deep within the permafrost.  But what should have been the discovery of the century rapidly turns to horror when one of the astronauts has a fatal accident.  With just hours to go until the relief crew arrive, the group is faced with a desperate struggle to contain the infection and survive.

Joining the production team are Director of Photography Robbie Ryan, whose work on Wuthering Heights won him the Outstanding Technical Contribution for Best Cinematography at the Venice Film Festival in 2011, Emmy Award winning Visual Effects Supervisor Adam McInnes (World War Z), Editor Peter Lambert (Twilight: New Moon), Production Designer Jon Henson (The Awakening) and Art Directors Steven Lawrence (The Dark Knight) and Philip Elton (The Bourne Supremacy).
