FIRST TRAILER FOR TIM BURTON'S & JOHNNY DEPP'S "DARK SHADOWS"! 1ST PICS OF DWAYNE JOHNSON IN "G.I. JOE: RETALIATION"! NATHAN FILLION IS HERMES IN "PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS"!
One of the sweet treats I have for you today, are first pictures from the sequel to the mega blockbuster G.I. JOE: RETALIATION featuring Dwayne Johnson as Roadblock and Adrianne Palicki as Lady Jay (you remember Palicki as the girl who unsuccessfully tried to portray Wonder Woman in doomed and cancelled even before the pilot was shown WONDER WOMAN TV show last year). Coming to cinemas June 29th the cast also includes Channing Tatum as Captain Duke, Bruce Willis as Joe Colton the original G.I.Joe , Ray Park as Snake Eyes, Ray Stevenson as Firefly, Arnold Vosloo as Zartan. The story of
the sequel starts after the Cobra spy Zartan has most of the Joes assassinated, and the remaining Joes have to band together again to strike back.
And as I promised yesterday, here it is, the first, long awaited, trailer for Tim Burton's DARK SHADOWS which follows Barnabas (Johnny Depp), a rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy, who
makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard. A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to his Collinwood Manor to find that the once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help
with her family troubles. Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's ne'er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller), her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz), and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David's new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.

Ooooh, I'm sure you won't like the film itself, but this is some sweet piece of news: our dear FIREFLY captain Nathan Fillion has taken a Godly role!
According to "The Hollywood Reporter" he will play Hermes, the messenger to the Gods in Greek mythology, in the sequel PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS. Hermes is also the father to Percy's biggest enemy Luke. The sequel to the famous epic adventure is scheduled for March next year and will again have Logan Lerman in the lead role of Poseidon's son living in modern day America who, in the first film, returned Zeus' stolen lightning bolt and prevented a civil war from erupting among the gods up on the Olympus. The first film had Sean Bean as Zeus, Pierce Brosnan as Chiron, Kevin McKidd as Poseidon, and also Uma Thurman, Rosario Dawson...

which brings together some of the biggest super heroes from Chris Evans' Captain America, to Chris Hemsworth's Thor, Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye and Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow and Tom Hiddleston's Loki. The film is out this May.

dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he's got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life - real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly
wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man.Finding himself on the run from the police - controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston), the leader of the free world - Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and
the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate. The cast also includes Ethan Hawke and always delightful John Cho.

DARK SHADOWS
Then, there are crazy pictures (click on them to see them bigger) of Johnny Depp and the rest of the cast from Tim Burton's DARK SHADOWS which also hits cinemas this May, and I think the first trailer (they've really waited a long time to show it) will be aired today or tomorrow. The film, following crazy adventures of the family of monsters, also stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Jonny Lee Miller and Helena Bonham Carter and is a film adaptation of the popular gothic soap opera from last century.
TOTAL RECALL
But probably the biggest treat today is the first clip, which shows 30 seconds long mishmash of some powerful scenes from the remake of sf classic TOTAL RECALL, promising some visually really nice scenes and sets. The story revolves around the company that can turn yourdreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he's got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life - real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs.

FIRST PICS FROM "HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA"! COLIN FARRELL IN "ARTHUR & LANCELOT" EPIC? EMMY ROSSUM IN POKER FILM "WAY DOWN SOUTH"! JEREMY IRONS JOINS EMMA THOMPSON AND VIOLA DAVIS IN "BEAUTIFUL CREATURES"
We finally have the 1st pictures from one of the most promising of the upcoming animated flicks: check out the images from HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA which hits cinemas this September set in Dracula's lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up,
free from meddling from the human world. But here's a little known fact about Dracula: he is not only the Prince of Darkness, he is also a dad. Over protective of his teenage daughter, Mavis, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to dissuade her adventurous spirit. As a haven
for Mavis, he opens the Hotel Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world's most famous monsters - Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more - can kick back in safety and peace. For Dracula, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem - but his world could come crashing
down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.Adam Sandler will give his voice to Dracula, Kevin James is Frankenstein, Fran Drescher is his bride :), David Spade is Quasimodo, Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon are married werewolves and Cee-Lo Green is Mummy!
And here's another good news: according to "Variety", our dear Michael Fassbender might take the lead role in MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US, a romantic drama I mentioned recently which, based
on the novel by Charles Martin, follows two strangers who survive a plane crash in the Colorado woods and are forced to rely on one another for survival, eventually falling in love. As you know, Fass My Benders first has to finish two Ridley Scott's films THE COUNSELOR and PROMETHEUS, the second one premiering this summer, and he also has TWELVE YEARS A SLAVE, a Brad Pitt produced historical film on a man living in New York during the mid-1800s who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the deep south. Another interesting info today is that Warner Bros. has decided to bring back the cancelled ARTHUR AND LANCELOT epic from the dead (at more than $100 million it was deemed too expensive last winter) but with Colin Farrell in one of the lead roles which were previously meant for two TV stars Joel Kinnaman (THE KILLING) as Lancelot and Kit Harington (GAME OF THRONES) as Arthur.
