Warner Bros. has finally released the Official trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and this trailer is truly epic covering both Parts: I & II…revealing Harry and Lord Voldemort once again coming face to face, now in their prophesied epic showdown amid the ruins of Hogwarts as the battle of good and evil comes to a devastating and epic conclusion.
I am so very stoked for this one as every single character is packed into this final story and all story arcs come to an end and the film cycle that began in 2001 will be completed in 2011. Directed by veteran television director, David Yates – who directed The Order of the Phoenix & The Half – Blood Prince has proven to be a very capable director, while producer of this franchise David Heyman has carefully nurtured these film adaptations from the start and has achieved a remarkable cinematic feat in bringing J.K. Rowling‘s beloved books successfully to the silver screen. Joining this stellar cast of British acting pedigree is Bill Nighy as Rufus Scrimgeour. Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint & Emma Watson.
Robert Deniro, Ben Stiller, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo, Owen Wilson & Barbara Streisand return in the 3rd installment of the popular Meet The Parents franchise. This time around, hapless Gaylord “Greg” Myron Focker and wife Pam now have five year old twins and try their best to cope with the comedy hijinx involved in raising them amid their wacky family and friends.
I like Robert De Niro playing comedy roles and like his ultra uptight character of Jack Tiberius Byrnes and plays very well against Ben Stiller (who I’ve never been a fan). The films so far have had a loose story arc and development. I only hope that in this one, the casting doesn’t pull me out of the story like in Meet The Fockers when all I saw was an obvious scheme in the casting of Dustin Hoffman (who is not returning as Bernard “Bernie” Focker) & Barbara Streisand as the Stiller’s parents. Paul Weitz takes over in the director’s chair and Little Fockers is set for a December 22, 2010 release.
Seth Rogan is The Green Hornet in this update of the radio and t.v. hero. Rogan is Britt Reid, the wild son of a media tycoon. But after his father is mysteriously murdered, he inheirits a vast wealth. With a lot of money and no credibility, Reid must team up with the industious martial arts expert Kato (Jay Chou) and take the path of vigilante to solve and avenge his father’s murder. Co – starring Cameron Diaz, Edward James Olmos, Christoph Waltz, Edward Furlong and Tom Wilkinson. The Green Hornet hits theatres January 14, 2011.
Earlier this month, during the live telecast of the MTV Movie Awards, featured a one minute teaser of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One, based on the final novel in J.K. Rowling‘s popular series. It’s Harry, Ron & Hermione out on their own and on the run from the evil Lord Voldemort while searching for the last of the missing horcruxes. The trio’s harrowing adventures take them all through the wizarding world from deep inside the Ministry of Magic and Gringott’s vaults to the streets and skies of London.
I loved the book and took my time when reading it so I am relieved that the producers’ have decided to adapt this finale into 2 films, because there is so very much to be told and fans will want to experience every last drop. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One is set for release November 19, 2010 (Part 2 is set for July 15, 2011) .
Walden Media’s third outing with C.S. Lewis‘ timeless stories, The Chronicle’s of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, has Lucy and Edmond Pevensie returning to the enchanted land, but this time they have their cousin Eustace Scrubb brought into things. It’s only been a few years since the events of Prince Caspian (Narnian Time) and have caught up with King Caspian X to deal with dragons, dwarves and are led into adventures that bring them to the end of the world. Starring Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley and Will Pouter.
Zac Efron stars as title character Charlie St. Cloud who survives a fatal car crash that kills his younger brother Sam. When Charlie is resuscitated and his brother is killed, he soon discovers that he can now see the dead and when Sam returns to get Charlie to fulfill a vow will his little brother let him go to follow his heart? Now I’m not a Zac Efron fan, but this story is deeper than the trailer lets on…Themes that everyone who understands loss will relate to.
