Warner Bros. announced yesterday that production on  Jack the Giant Killer  is underway in London with Bryan Singer directing.  Not a big surprise, since we saw this photo from the set in April.  But the official production announcement revealed this synopsis: Jack the Giant Killer  tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack, into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend—and gets the chance to become a legend himself. Nicholas Hoult stars in the title role, joined by Eleanor Thomas, Stanley Tucci, Ian McShane, Bill Nighy, and Ewan McGregor.   Jack the ...

In the eyes of casting directors, there is something very science-fictional about Alice Braga:  I Am Legend .   Blindness .   Repo Men .   Predators .  Falling in line, writer/director Neill Blomkamp ( District 9 ) will employ Braga to bring his vision of the future to life in  Elysium .  (Initially there was some Braga confusion.  Deadline first reported that it was Sonia Braga who joined the film — the post has since been updated to reflect that it is in fact Sonia’s niece Alice who signed on.) Braga joins Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, William Fichtner, Wagner Moura, and Sharlto Copley in Elysium , scheduled for release on March 1, 2013.  The plot is a mystery for now, by the “unabashedly big movie” is said to take place 100 years in the future on another planet.  Foster recently confirmed she will play “the head of an alien planet,” if that offers a clue about what you’re in for.

Jacki e Chan’s next film, the historical epic  1911 , is billed as his 100th feature.  This appears to be mostly marketing math to capitalize on the centennial of the subject matter, “the founding of the Republic of China when nationalist forces led by Sun Yat-sen (Winston Chao) overthrew the Qing Dynasty.”  The first trailer is online, and looks suitably heroic. Chan co-directed the movie with  cinematographer Zhang Li ( Red Cliff ).   1911  is set for a day-and-date release in the United States and China on October 11.  Watch the trailer after the break. As Bleeding Cool noted when writing about the trailer, Chan is credited as “general director” while Zhang receives the more traditional “director” credit.  Since this is a war movie, I assume Chan was focused on advising the actors playing generals — Zhang took care of the rest.

The international trailer for  One Day  has been released. Directed by Lone Scherfig ( An Education ), the adaptation of the David Nicholls book stars Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. While the first U.S. trailer that was released was a little too “Lifetime Original Movie” for my liking, this international trailer seems to give a better feel for how the finished film will be. I’m intrigued by the story, and I’ve been told that Nicholls’ book is fantastic. Hit the jump to watch the international trailer yourself.  One Day  hits theaters August 19 th .

A couple of new images from the Cold War thriller  Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy  have hit the web. Directed by Tomas Alfredson ( Let the Right One In ), the adaptation of John Le Carre’s novel centers on semi-retired agent George Smiley (Gary Oldman) who is pulled out of semi-retirement to ferret out a Soviet mole within MI6. In addition to Oldman, the phenomenal cast includes Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, John Hurt and Toby Jones. When speaking with Steve earlier this year, Oldman said that his part in this film is probably the greatest role he’s ever played. Needless to say, this one should definitely be on your radar. Hit the jump to check out Tom Hardy in a really bad wig, as well as a synopsis of Le Carre’s novel. Here’s the synopsis for John Le Carre’s  Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy : It is now beyond doubt that a mole, implanted decades ago by Moscow Centre, has burrowed his way into the highest echelons of British Intelligence.

Back in December, we reported that Orlando Bloom might reprise his role as Elven sharpshooter Legolas for Peter Jackson’s  The Hobbit .  Today on his official Facebook page, Jackson confirmed that he had Legolas bow: Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas. I’m excited to announce today that we’ll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more. I’m thrilled to be working with Orlando again. Funny thing is, I look older—and he doesn’t! I guess that’s why he makes such a wonderful elf. Bloom is the latest  Lord of the Rings  cast member to join  The Hobbit .  While Gandalf (Ian McKellen), Elrond (Hugo Weaving), and Gollum (Andy Serkis) actually appear in J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel, Jackson has apparently made room for Legolas, Galadriel (Cate Blanchett), old Bilbo (Ian Holm), and Frodo (Elijah Wood).  Hit the jump for the synopsis of the novel.  The two-part 3D film is set for December 20...

On the heels of yesterday’s in-your-face poster for  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 , Warner Bros. has released yet another close-up poster.  This time, the poster features Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and so it begins that  Deathly Hallows – Part 2  will follow the advertising pattern of the previous  Harry Potter  films and give a banner to every single freaking character.  The poster may proclaim “It All Ends”, but I don’t think that’s referring to the infinite stream of upcoming character posters. In a related fake story, The Onion News Network reports that Warner Bros., unable to part with their beloved franchise, will break the final minutes of  Deathly Hallows – Part 2  into its own film franchise.  The film’s fake producer also wants to explore new movies that will examine what background characters are up to and then more films exploring what their brooms are up to.     Harry Potter and ...

Summit Entertainment has released the first official teaser poster for director Bill Condon’s  The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 .  While I’m sure fans were hoping for a cool image of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, they’re going to be stuck with some clouds and the day the movie is coming out.  However, with this poster getting released, I’d wager the first trailer will be hitting soon.  Hit the jump to check it out.  The next chapter in the  Twilight  saga opens November 18th. Here’s the official synopsis for  The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn : In the highly anticipated next chapter of the blockbuster The Twilight Saga, the newfound married bliss of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) is cut short when a series of betrayals and misfortunes threatens to destroy their world. After their wedding, Bella and Edward travel to Rio de Janeiro for their honeymoon, where they finally giv...
