Dwayne Johnson in Journey Sequel
Just when we thought Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had turned a corner, after making one-too-many kiddie comedies, THR is reporting that the wrestler-turned-actor has signed on to star in a sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth.
There was hope for Johnson after making a comical cameo in this summer’s The Other Guys as well as upcoming action fare like Faster, but it would seem to me like Journey 2: The Mysterious Island might represent more of a step backwards. Not only is it a sequel to a movie in which he didn’t even star in the first place, but he’s replacing Brendan Fraser?! It doesn’t get much lower than that.
According to Heat Vision, “The Rock” will star opposite Josh Hutcherson (returning from the original) playing his mother’s prospective boyfriend. Together, they go on a journey to a “mythical and monstrous island to find his missing grandfather.” Brad Peyton will direct.
Johnson will be in theaters in November in Faster.
Trailer for Repeaters
HitFix has the trailer for Repeaters which shows at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival. In the movie, directed by Carl Bessai, a trio of punks (Dustin Milligan, Amanda Crew and Richard de Klerk) are forced to relive the same day over and over again. Kinda like Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, except without the comedy. So instead of winning the heart of Andie MacDowell, these punks are out holding up convenience stores and shooting police officers — and each other. In the end, it doesn’t look like the best way to spend the same day over and over again, but who am I to judge? Continue reading to watch the trailer. Read more…
First Clip from Never Let Me Go
MTV has the first clip from Never Let Me Go. Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the story follows the trio of Andrew Garfield, Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley as they grow up in an English boarding school and are eventually released into the world to navigate the harsh truth that nothing is what it seems. The movie, directed by Mark Romanek, plays next month at the Toronto International Film Festival before opening in theaters September 15th.
In the clip we see Ruth (Knightley) confront Kathy (Mulligan) about how she’s ended up with Tommy (Garfield) while Kathy is left with nothing but her porno magazines. It’s really rather cruel. Continue reading to watch. Read more…

Burlesque Movie Poster
Cinematical has the movie poster for Burlesque starring Christina Aguilera and Cher. In the movie, Aguilera plays a small town girl with big town dreams who moves to L.A. where she gets a job as a waitress at The Burlesque Lounge with dreams of one day performing. Blah, blah, blah, she becomes a star. I’m sure you’ve heard the story a thousand times, since it as old as Cher. We’ll have to wait until November, however, to see if it has aged as well. Continue reading to check out the poster. Read more…
First Official Arthur Pictures with Russell Brand
It’s been so many years since I saw the original Arthur (I was only a kid) that I forget more than I remember. Dudley Moore comes to mind, but not much else. So, these pictures (from the NY Times) from the upcoming Arthur remake starring Russell Brand aren’t exactly a walk down memory lane. But they’re enough to whet the appetite, if you’re looking forward to some more Brand after catching him in theaters earlier this summer in Get Him to the Greek.
In the movie, Brand plays the title character, a happy drunk who is eligible to inherit millions of dollars on the condition that he marry the girl of his mother’s choosing. Things get complicated when he meets and falls in love with a poor girl. Helen Mirren, Jennifer Garner, Greta Gerwig and Nick Nolte also star.
Head over to NYTimes.com for the full article including a couple of other pictures from the original and the remake.
