MEGAN FOX SAYS "FUCK’ EM"

Second movie written by Academy Award winner Diablo Cody (“Juno”), “Jennifer’s Body” is a horror comedy directed by Karyn Kusama (“Girlfight”, “Aeon Flux”) where sexy Megan Fox (“Transformers 1 & 2”) plays a cheerleader possessed by a demon, who litterally devellop her appetite...for high school boys.

After a couple of trailers released last July (including a red band one that you can see on the official website), here comes a darkly funny Public Service Announcement by the lead actress, where she’s encouraging everyone to be themselves, no matter what it takes.

“Jennifer’s Body” will open in September the Midnight Madness program of the The Toronto International Film Festival (September 10-19, 2009). Distributed by 20th Century Fox, the movie will be released in the US on September 18th, 2009 and in France on October 21st, 2009.

ST TRINIAN’S : US RELEASE & SEQUEL FILMING

Released in December 2007 in UK where it was a huge success (grossing more than £12 million), “St Trinian’s”, a schoolgirl comedy set in an anarchic highschool for bad girls, will finally hit the big screen in the USA in selected theathers on August 28th, 2009.

Between March 2008 and July 2009, the movie was also released in Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Israel, Russia, Finland and Italy.

Based the famous drawings of Ronald Searle, one of the most famous British cartoonists, “St Trinian’s” was actually the sixth movie inspired by the artist’s work after “The Belles of St Trinian's” (1954), “Blue Murder at St. Trinian's” (1957), “The Great St. Trinian's Train Robbery” (1966), “The Pure Hell of St. Trinian's” (1960) and “The Wildcats of St. Trinian's” (1980 – which was a flop)

"St Trinian's" (2007) - Portuguese and US posters

Since July 6th, 2009, directors / producers Oliver Parker and Barnaby Thompson, have started the 8-weeks shooting of “St Trinians II: The Legend of Fritton’s”, with most of the cast of the previous movie like Talulah Riley, Rupert Everett, Jodie Whittaker, Juno Temple, Gemma Arterton, Russell Brand or Colin Firth. There will be some new face as well including David Tennant (“Doctor Who”) who’ll play the lead villain.

Official synopsis : “St Trinian’s II: The Legend Of Fritton’s Gold” sees the schoolgirls start a new term amidst the usual chaos and excitement. Rupert Everett returns as unconventional headmistress Camilla Fritton and Colin Firth as her old flame Geoffrey Thwaites. A rollercoaster-style treasure hunt for the legendary Fritton’s Gold ensues as they face their most fearsome establishment rivals yet, but the feisty and ever-resourceful girls of St Trinian’s are undeterred in their mission to outwit the villainous Pomfrey (David Tennant) and his sidekicks from the women-hating secret society known as AD1.

There’s also a “St Trinian’s 2” competition organised by Ealing Studios, on the official FaceBook page of the film. The 10 winners will have the opportunity to visit the set and become an extra. Closing Date is tonight, August 1st 2009 (00:00am) and the winners must be free on August 16th, 2009 (check out the rules HERE).

SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE ADLER POSTER

One month after the two posters showing the lead male characters of Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holdmes” (Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Dr. Watson), Warner Bros just revealed a third poster with the main (Canadian) actress of the movie, Rachel McAdams (“Mean Girls”), who plays the charming Irene Adler. This character featured in only one story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (“A Scandal in Bohemia” – 1891), but she’s considered like the most interesting female character of the Sherlock Holmes stories (“She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men”).


Also, between 1990 and 2004, American writer Carole Nelson Douglas wrote 13 mysterey novels and short stories leaded by Irene Adler. Concerning the movie (which is not a novel adaptation, but , a comic book one, created by producer Lionel Wigram – who put Doyle’s public domain characters in an original story) it definitly looks more like an action comedy than a suspense movie. US release: December 25th, 2009. French release: February 3rd, 2009.

LUCY LIU VS NICOLETTE SHERIDAN : CATFIGHT FOR A “CLEANER”

That’s the best you will get from “Code Name: The Cleaner”, but it lasts only a minute (on a 88-minute movie). Leaded by actor/comedian Cedric Kyles, best known as his stage name Cedric the Entertainer, this action-spy comedy is available in France on DVD since July 1st, 2009 by Metropolitan as “Nom de Code: The Clearner”.

Imagine the annoying Bosley from “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” becoming the lead character instead of the kick-ass ladies and you’ll know what to expect from “Code Name: The Cleaner”: Stupid jokes, overacting, a not a lot of action.

The story is about a guy who lost his memory and doesn’t remember if he’s a “cleaner” (hitman) or cleaner. The two women who cross his path during his recovery, are maybe his wife (Nicolette Sheridan – nominated for Worst Supporting Actress at the Razzie Award in 2008) and girlfriend (Lucy Liu – also executive producer of the movie) or maybe not...

"GOLDEN SLAUGHTER" (GRINDHOUSE EXPLOITATION TRAILER)

A cheap but fun fake trailer, Grindhouse style (dust and scratches filters, bad acting on purpose, over-the-top voice-over etc...) featuring a high heeled blonde heroine in bikini and her (very big) gun, against a bunch of bad people.

Produced by SD creative Media (a San Diego based design company), this "Golden Slaughter" video was actually made to promote the Halloween Ball 2008 party at the Prado Balboa Park, an event organised by DJhere productions.

Directed by Roland Telebrico and edited by Kevin Falk (check out more stills of "Golden Slaughter" on his portfolio)
