Flash Gordon

Theres obviously something in the water, as hot on the heels on the recently announced Highlander remake, Sony Pictures have acquired the rights to another 80's 'classic' featuring a Queen soundtrack, Flash Gordon.

Ok, the film, to be directed by Breck Eisner ('Sahara') will likely take it's nod from the original comic book and film serials as opposed to the camp eighties excess of Mike Hodge's version, but we can only hope that there's room for Brian Blessed to don his tights and bellow 'Gordon's alive!' one more time.

This uncut trailer highlights the cinematography and effects rather than Angelina Jolie, and makes the film look a lot more interesting.

Terminator Salvation : The Future Begins

Still saddled with a terrible title and pg-13 rating, Warner have released the official plot synopsis for the first in the new Terminator trilogy:-

In the highly anticipated new installment of "The Terminator" film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

The film also stars Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese, Charlotte Gainsbourg as Kate Connor, Moon Bloodgood as Blair Williams, Common as Barnes, and Jadagrace as Star.

Prince of Persia

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Jake Gylenhall will be taking the lead role in Jerry Bruckheimer's Prince of Persia franchise. Based on the popular series of video games (the original of which is now nearly 20 years old!), Bruckheimer no doubt sees this as a replacement / follow on to the hugely profitable Pirates of the Carribean films.

Choke

Great, Saul Bass like, poster, for the forthcoming thriller Choke, based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk. The official synopsis is as follows:-

Official Plot Synopsis: Victor Mancini (Rockwell), a sex-addicted med-school dropout, who keeps his increasingly deranged mother, Ida (Huston), in an expensive private medical hospital by working days as a historical reenactor at a Colonial Williamsburg theme park. At night Victor runs a scam by deliberately choking in upscale restaurants to form parasitic relationships with the wealthy patrons who “save” him. When, in a rare lucid movement, Ida reveals that she has withheld the shocking truth of his father’s identity, Victor enlists the aid of his best friend, Denny (Henke) and his mother’s beautiful attending physician, Dr. Paige Marshall (Macdonald), to solve the mystery before the truth of his possibly divine parentage is lost forever. The film is adapted from the best-selling, critically acclaimed novel by Chuck Palahniuk.


Chokeis released September 2008

Avatar

Teaser poster for Jame's Cameron's forthcoming sci-fi flick. Avatar will be Cameron's first film in 12 years by the time of release. The film has been shot in digital 3D and Cameron suggests that the film will be the first to feature photo realistic CGI characters (or synthespians as they are annoyingly referred to).

Highlander

Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, the screenwriters responsible for Iron Man, are to pen a remake of Highlander for Summit Entertainment, says the Hollywood Reporter.

It remains to be seen how they can better the combination of overblown Queen soundtrack and some of the most ridiculous accents ever heard that make the original such a memorable experience. The central concept remains a good one however, and a big budget makeover could be interesting.

Dawn of the Dead 3D

Aint it Cool News reports that George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, which vies with the Exorcist for the title of greatest horror film ever made will be getting the digital 3D treatment from New Amsterdam Entertainment. Whilst this will no doubt be a gimmick, any excuse to see this film on the big screen again can't be all bad.

Hellboy 2

Final poster for Del Toro's comic book fantasy sequel. This film looks fantastic, however it's relatively low profile means it's in danger of getting lost amongst the better known summer releases.
