'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Super Bowl Spot Continues Trend Of Awesome

Posted 2/1/12 4:56 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in News

Ladies and gentlemen, it was no fluke.

When the first trailer for "G.I. Joe: Retaliaton" hit the web, I felt deceived by the director, Jon M. Chu. He had not told me how badass the sequel to Stephen Sommers' "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" could possibly be until he released that first trailer. It was quite a shock.

Having eventually recovered, I was much more prepared for the thirty-second Super Bowl ad for the upcoming sequel. I expected ninja sword fights on a vertical rock face. Bruce Willis' terse, machine gun-toting Original Joe wouldn't bring me to tears. Those things could not surprise me.

Then I saw Snake-Eyes' exploding motorcycle.

'Cold Light Of Day' Trailer: Henry Cavill Leaps, Bruce Willis Gets Paid

Posted 1/30/12 5:45 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in Trailers, Video

Cavill Cold Light

Despite how the trailer for "The Cold Light of Day" starts, the movie isn't actually about Bruce Willis and Henry Cavill as a supportive father-son team, who enjoy a nice family vacation, yachting around the world and having a good old time.

Turns out that daddy was in the CIA, and he didn't tell his family, including his son, until it was too late.

Check out the "Cold Light of Day" trailer after the jump!

'Expendables 2' Trailer Light On Schwarzenegger, Heavy On Willis

Posted 12/15/11 9:16 am EST by Josh Wigler in Trailers

Expendables 2

Continuing the trend of this week being the most amazing week in the history of weeks for trailers (an exaggeration, sure, but let's go with it), the very first "Expendables 2" teaser trailer hit last night, and it's bound to make action junkies weak at the knees.

Yes, the "Ex2" trailer is light on Schwarzenegger. But whoa, when Arnie makes his appearance firing a machine gun off at who-knows-what, it's enough to guarantee that the Trench we're meeting here is much happier to flex his badass muscles than the guy we saw in the first "Expendables." Plus, what the trailer lacks in Schwarz it more than makes up for in Bruce Willis. The erstwhile John McClane is increasingly looking like the villain of the piece against a Sly and Arnie team-up, and that's just too fantastic for a die-hard action fan (see what I did there?) to ignore.

'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Trailer Rocks Out

Posted 12/13/11 10:11 am EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in News, Trailers

When it comes to the "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" trailer, I just wish the makers of the film would have been more honest upfront.

They tell us that they're going to make a follow-up to the "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," the Stephen Sommers-ification of the beloved action figures and TV show. They say Sommers is out and Dwayne Johnson is in. Plus, there will be Bruce Willis. That's all well and good, but nothing worth punching a wall in celebration.

But then the "Retaliation" trailer hits. Not once did anyone mention Cobra flags flying over the White House. Nobody cared to inform us that it looks like Channing Tatum will bite the dust in the first fifteen minutes. And I know for a fact that no one told us there would be a ninja fight on the side of a mountain, because if they had, we all would have been way more excited.

'Expendables 2' Poster: Stallone, Schwarzenegger And Willis Team Up

Posted 11/18/11 3:50 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in News

The first poster for "The Expendables 2" looks like the result of a Photoshop contest called, "Make a one-sheet for the most ridiculous action movie of all time."

Posed with the challenge of fitting all of Hollywood's past and future action movie kings into a single image, the "Expendables 2" poster, which debuted over at JoBlo, opts for the efficient "just stack 'em all on top of each other" method, with Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Willis, Statham, Norris, Van Damme, Lundgren, and Crews all making the cut.

And that's not even the entire cast.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone Together On 'Expendables 2' Set

Posted 10/11/11 2:32 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Photos, Twitter-Wood

He told you he'd be back, and he lived up to his word: Arnold Schwarzenegger is officially back in action as a movie star.

The former Governator is slated to make his big screen comeback when "The Last Stand" rolls in front of cameras early next year, but we'll get a look at him before that when he reprises his role as Trench in "The Expendables 2." And you won't have to wait for Sylvester Stallone's star-studded sequel to hit theaters to get a first look, either: here's Schwarzenegger himself, providing you with all the photographic evidence you need that his days as an action hero are officially back on.

'Expendables 2' Recruits Arnold Schwarzenegger And Bruce Willis

Posted 9/7/11 11:29 am EST by Josh Wigler in Casting Call, News

Expendables 2 Yipee-ki-yay, mother lovers — they're back!

Walking away from last year's "The Expendables," the first and foremost thought on my mind focused squarely on the return of Trench and Church, better known as the borderline geriatric duo of badasses briefly played by action icons Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. Their church cameo was cool and all, but it wasn't enough.

Good thing for us then that Sylvester Stallone, director Simon West and the rest of the "Expendables 2" crew are all on the same page, as Deadline reports that both Schwarzenegger and Willis are back in action for the sequel — and not just for mere cameos, either.

Bruce Willis "Die Hard 5" is going to die harder and with even more vengeance, thanks to director John Moore.

As for the plot of the movie, rumor has it that John McClane and his son will be "drawn into a conflict with local forces" in Russia, and they will have to avoid dying hard outside of the country.

'Die Hard 5' Heads To Russia With New Directors In Pursuit

Posted 8/1/11 4:45 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in News

Some good news and some bad news for "Die Hard 5," starting with the bad.

Director Noam Murro has left the movie, leaving the production without a director at the moment. Twitch Film broke the news, saying that Murro's commitment to the upcoming "300" sequel has led him to depart the project.

But Murro's departure comes equipped with a new short list of possible "Die Hard" directors. Deadline has learned that "Attack the Block" director Joe Cornish, "Fast Five's" Justin Lin, "Drive's" Nicolas Winding Refn and "Max Payne's" John Moore are all up for John McClane's latest adventure -- but if the folks at Twitch are to be believed, the job is supposedly Moore's to take or leave.
