New Sherlock Holmes Trailer Unveiled

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adventure, Classics, Family, Mystery, Comedy, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Trailers, Upcoming Releases

If you’re pretending to be British and celebrating Guy Fawkes Day, you might as well keep up the charade by checking out the new trailer for Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law.

In what can only seem to be complete bad-ass-ness (smart jokes, narrated three-step guide to knocking someone out, Rachel McAdams, etc.), the film appears to have a good chance at holding its own during this Christmas Day’s battlefield for the box office.

What secret weapon does director Guy Ritchie have in store for the action-packed thriller? He calls it a family movie!

Will Ferrell Replaces Downey

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: DreamWorks, Animation, Family, Comedy, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases

Will Ferrell has replaced Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. in Oobermind.

Father of six Brad Pitt and Superbad‘s Jonah Hill have also joined the voice cast of the forthcoming DreamWorks movie, which follows the titular character, an evil criminal mastermind—played by Will—who finds his life becomes dull when he defeats his rival, Brad’s Metro Man.

Jonah will voice Titan, a new superhero created by Oobermind while Tina Fey voices a reporter tracking the crime fighters.

Sherlock Holmes star Robert cited “scheduling conflicts” for his departure from the project, adding fuel to speculation he is to play the role of Lestat—made famous by Tom Cruise in Interview With The Vampire—in a new retelling of Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles novels.

Oobermind is scheduled for release in November 2010.

Iron Man 2 Cast Buffed and Filming

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Sequels, Casting, Celeb News, Rumors

Mickey Rourke recently put on his Whiplash costume in preparation to work on Iron Man 2, and his rippling muscles certainly won’t be alone on the set. Rourke’s costume will show off his tattoos and an electromagnet that’s very similar to the one worn by Tony Stark. With leather and iron braces showing off his buffed-up bod, Rourke will no doubt make a big impression on the big screen.

But he’s not the only actor who will have audiences staring at the screen in wide-eyed wonder. Scarlett Johansson has packed on the muscular pounds for her role as Black Widow and star Robert Downey Jr. is in Iron Man-ready shape for the production.

Don Cheadle (who replaced Terrence Howard) and Gwyneth Paltrow will also be featured in the flick, which is scheduled to hit theaters on May 7, 2010.
