max Payne
Yahoo movies has the bizarre new trailer for Mark Wahlberg's forthcoming action film, loosely based on the computer game series of the same name. Whilst people were expecting a straight action film, this trailer suggests something slightly more off kilter.
The film is released October 17th

Saw V
The final poster for Saw V is the most disappointing one so far. Whilst the films themselves havent been great, the poster design has always been original and boundary pushin. This one however looks just like a generic horror poster.
Also, despite the tagline this is not the end of the franchise, with Saw VI already in production for release next year. Saw V hits theaters October 31st

Happiness 2 : Electric Boogaloo
... is probably not the title of Todd Solonz's next film. However the film is intended to be a 'quasi-sequel' to his controversial art house pic, perhaps most famous for Dylan Baker's tour de force turn as a (quasi-sympathetic) paedophile.
Variety has a vague outline for the film, described as revolving around a group of struggling individuals. struggling to find a place for themselves in an unpredictable and volatile world. The narrative is told through a series of intersecting love stories.; the past haunts the present and imperils the future: ghosts circle and loom, trouble and console.

Babylon AD
Ouch...
Babylon AD director Mathieu Kassovitz has given a no hold barred interview with AMC in which he discusses the troubled production, which gets an American release Friday. Amongst the choice quotes are Kossovit stating that "I never had a chance to do one scene the way it was written or the way I wanted it to be. The script wasn't respected. Bad producers, bad partners, it was a terrible experience." Of the final film the director believes that "It's pure violence and stupidity [...] instead parts of the movie are like a bad episode of 24."
