What do you get when you put Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, David Zayas, Giselle Itié, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger in a film together? Exactly what you’d expect — a huge budget, lots of explosions, non-stop fighting and mostly mediocre acting talent. All the ingrediants for a great cheesey, mindless action film.

In a recent interview on an Italian talk show Quentin Tarantino was asked about a couple of sequel possibilities. He said “maybe” to a Inglorious Basterds prequel, “uh, no…it’ll never happen” to a Pulp Fiction sequel and then, and this is the important part, says “but you didn’t ask the third thing. Would I ever do a third…a Kill Bill, Volume 3?” The woman looks taken aback, then asks the question. Will you do Kill Bill 3? “Yes!” he replies — and the crowd goes wild.

District 9 is an upcoming science fiction film produced by Peter Jackson and directed by Neill Blomkamp. I remember seeing an earlier trailer for this movie and not knowing what to make of it — this new trailer looks great. This new movie is based on Alive in Joburg (video), a short film directed by Neill Blomkamp, Sharlto Copley, Simon Hansen and Shanon Worley. The title is influenced by real life District Six, Cape Town. Copley also portrayed one of the interviewed policemen. The short film is about aliens landing in South Africa and becoming confined to a specific area and forced to work.
If you’ve not already heard the news — Tim Burton has been working on an adaptation of the classic film Alice in Wonderland . It is based off the Lewis Carroll novels Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, and Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum. The film will use a technique combining live action, motion capture technology, and stop motion.
A teaser trailer was just released and it looks pretty crazy– definitely what you’d expect from a Tim Burton film. But don’t take my word for it, have a look for yourself:
