JoBlo's Movie Emporium News
More Trek faces
The buzz-building for JJ Abrams' reboot of STAR TREK continues at Warp Factor Something, adding to the series of black-and-white face portraits with Eric Bana's tattooed Romulan(?) warrior Nero and supersexy Zoe Saldana's delicious Uhura. Yep.
Read More... Adventureland trailer
ADVENTURELAND is director Greg Mottola's follow-up to SUPERBAD, about a college grad in the 80s working a summer job at a theme park. The new trailer is throwing off a definite vibe of CADDYSHACK and FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH, and the movie is apparently a bit more serious than slapstick, although it's difficult to take Bill Hader with a big 'stache too seriously.
The movie stars Jesse Eisenberg, TWILIGHT cupcake Kristen Stewart, Ryan...
Read More... Avatar aliens!
Details on James Cameron's sci-fi 3D epic AVATAR have been minimal to say the least. We've known for a while that the distant planet's indigenous creatures were blue-skinned humanoids with tails and bioluminescent features, but I think we all personally know somebody like that. So how about specifics?
Got 'em, courtesy of MarketSaw, who tracked down several pieces of concept art featuring what appears to be a female of the species (which,...

Olyphant goes Crazy
After a development that seems to have been going on forever, the remake of George Romero's THE CRAZIES is gearing up and has finally found itself a star. Timothy Olyphant has signed on to star in the film for director Breck Eisner (SAHARA). In the film Olyphant will star as the sheriff of a small town where a biological warfare spill turns the residents permanently insane. Murder, rioting and, well, craziness ensues and the military...
Read More... Ice Age 3 trailer
While it hasn't always been easy to compete with Disney/Pixar and DreamWorks in the animation front, Fox has done an admirable job, especially with their ICE AGE franchise, which has proved to be extremely popular. For the third film in the series, they've moved from spring dates to the big time: July 4th weekend. Of course they've also got this film in 3-D, which should prove to be a big draw. The latest teaser trailer for ICE AGE:...
Read More... Clooney gets his girl
The role was one of the most highly coveted in Hollywood. It was the female lead in the next movie from Jason Reitman (JUNO) and starring George Clooney. Ellen Page and Emily Blunt read for the part. But in the end it was relative unknown Anna Kendrick who got the role after nailing her audition and beating her Oscar-nominated competition. Kendrick will star alongside Clooney in UP IN THE AIR, which follows a bored businessman whose only...

Plot: Bolt (voiced by John Travolta), is the canine star of a TV action adventure show- where week after week, he rescues his young co-star, Penny (voiced by Miley Cyrus) from the clutches of a diabolical super villain. In order to get a realistic performance out of Bolt, the producers have him convinced that everything that happens in the show is real, and that he possesses incredible superpowers.

Read More... Bourne Keeps Coming
If you're a fan of that Jason Bourne guy you're in luck. A lot of luck. Universal has nabbed exclusive rights to the Bourne character as well as first-look at any other Robert Ludlum novels. Originally conceived as a trilogy, the Bourne series has grossed over 1 billion dollars worldwide and there's many more books featuring the character that can be turned into profitable films. Why not, right? Matt Damon...
Read More... Kunis Joins Denzel
Mila Kunis' star continues to rise. After charming us this summer in FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, and dipping her pretty little feet into the action pool with the forgettable MAX PAYNE, she was well on her way to becoming a bonafied leading lady. With her casting opposite uber A-lister Denzel Washington in the upcoming THE BOOK OF ELI, she may have finally arrived.
The film follows big, bad Denzel as Eli, a lone hero who must fight...
Read More... AD movie? Rejoice!
One of the biggest crimes of the past decade was the premature cancellation of the brilliant FOX comedy series "Arrested Development". If you're a fan, you're a friend of mine. If not, well I feel sorry for you. For those of you that are fans, it's time to join hands and sing happy songs. The rumours of an AD film are close to coming true.
Mitch Hurwitz, the show's creator, and Ron Howard, its producer and...

Read More... Black Dynamite!
In recent years, numerous filmmakers have spent substantial time and money in attempts to emulate a lot of the memorably crappy exploitation movies of the 60s and 70s, to varying degrees of success.
But hot damn, does the blaxploitation spoof BLACK DYNAMITE look like it hits the target with some pitch perfect parody. It's got Michael Jai White (SPAWN himself!) as a pistol-packin', multiple lady-lovin', afro-havin', kung fu fightin'...
Read More... Brolin talks Jonah Hex
Just hours after the official news that the outlaw comic flick JONAH HEX had lost its directors, MTV posted an interview with the project's ostensible star (and sudden A-lister) Josh Brolin.
As to what draw his interest to the tale of a scar-faced bounty hunter, Brolin says: "The absurdity of it. It almost allows you to create a new genre. I love going back into the spaghetti-Western idea and completely turning it around."...

Leading up to the release of the teen vampire romance TWILIGHT, Moviefone ran a poll asking movie fans to name the "Sexiest Male and Female Vampires of All Time." And although the movie hasn't even been released yet, two of TWILIGHT's pale beefcake bloodsuckers made the top 5:
1. Robert Pattinson (18 %)2. Brad Pitt (15 %) 3. Cam Gigandet ...
