Poster No, Trailer Yes
The poster doesn’t impress me, but I do like Hugh Jackman Set to Drive
Way back in November of 06 I posted how much I enjoyed James Sallis’ noir-crime novel Drive. Today Variety announced that Neil Marshall is set to direct Hugh Jackman in the big screen adaptation. I’m just hoping that I dig it as much as the novel!
It’s a Wolf, Man!
I’m a sucker for a good werewolf movie. I’m hoping “Wolfman” will join the list of great ones. EW.com has a couple of photos of Benicio Del Toro as the “Wolfman” and a short interview with Rick Baker [make-up genius] here.
Harry Houdini Movie Star
Long time ZONErs probably remember how much I was into Harry Houdini and magic when I was a kid. [Weren’t we all?] Despite the fact that I’ve read books, seen movies, newsreels and more about Harry Houdini, I’ve never seen the movies that he made. That should change once Harry Houdini Movie Star is released.
He Ain’t Heavy…
I gotta admit that the Stepbrothers trailer made me chuckle even though you can see the jokes coming from a mile away. Maybe it’s because I can imagine Beatty and I playing the lead roles. And Big John knows which of the brothers that I’d be.The “Street Kings” Trailer is Here!
