"The Secret" - trailer

Jessica Biel stars in this new take on the bogeyman story. Kids are disappearing from the small town of Cold Rock. Locals have come to ascribe the disappearances to a mysterious figure they call "the Tall Man". Julia (Biel) is a nurse who doesn't believe in all that hocus-pocus; until one night when she sees the big ol' bogeyman carrying her son out the front door.




There seems to be some confusion about the name of this film, with the trailer calling it "The Secret" and the below poster tagging it "The Tall Man". We'll have to see how that sorts itself out.



Pascel Laugier (Martyrs) directs with the film scheduled for limited release 31st.

"Mad Max: Fury Road" finally shooting in Namibia

When the Australian sets/locations for "Mad Max: Fury Road" got washed away during the Australian floods of 2010 producer/director George Miller needed to find a reliably drier place to film his little road movie. After an extensive search he found it and if.com.au is reporting the filming is finally underway in the impoverished African nation of Namibia. The same article also reports that Miller has decided not to shoot his long-awaited 4th Mad Max movie in 3D but instead to do a post conversion.

"Mad Max: Fury Road" stars Tom Hardy as Max and Charlize Theron as Furiosa, a role for which she's recently been seen gallivanting around with a shaved head.

Warner Brothers has officially launched the Dark Knight website and it's quite a looker.

Seems a little late in the game to me what with the film being released in 3 weeks but hey, better late than never. Below is a screen capture of the homepage. Click here for the site.

"Looper" international trailer

In the future time travel has been solved and criminal organization are taking advantage of it by sending their enemies back to our time to be hit by Joseph Gordon Levitt's enterprising assassin. The new international trailer looks likes it's got action aplenty but I'm left with one nagging question: if time travel is possible why not simply send people to, say, the age of the dinosaurs and let nature do the eliminating for you?



"Looper" opens September 28th.
