Chiwetel Ejiofor Exclusive Video Interview 2012
8 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Opening this Friday is director Roland Emmerich’s 2012. As most of you have seen in commercials and trailers, 2012 is about a global cataclysm that causes massive destruction to our planet. If you’re keeping count, this is Emmerich’s third time blowing up our planet (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) and I think he’s learned from his previous efforts to deliver his biggest ride yet. Trust me, 2012 is loaded with some of the craziest special effects you’ll see this year and if you want to have some fun, grab a popcorn and just go for the ride.
To help promote the film, our partners at Omelete were invited to the international press day and they sent me to cover it. So after the jump you can watch my interview with Chiwetel Ejiofor where we talk about what this year has been like for him, 2012 theories, making the movie, »

Exclusive: Roland Emmerich Visits the Year 2012
9 November 2009 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
If the world was to end in three years as it's been foretold by the Mayans when they devised their intricate series of calendars and almanacs eons ago, you'd probably want it to see its inevitable demise happen the way that it does in Roland Emmerich's new movie 2012 . After all, how could one panic when being entertained by some of the most spectacular displays of destruction ever devised by Germany's answer to Irwin Allen? He's also become more of an equal opportunity destroyer this time, leaving New York City well enough alone and instead going after places like Yellowstone Park, Vatican City and other famous monuments. Amidst it all, there's John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor and others trying to figure out what is happening and whether the end of the world can be prevented, as... »

Review: 2012

2012 is one of those strange movies where you feel like you shouldn’t like it but cant help yourself enjoying and even sometimes laughing at the world’s destruction, either because of it’s slightly cheesy and humorous script or because the effects are so darn good that it just looks fantastic.
If you’ve not been following the story on HeyUGuys previously, 2012 is a story, in a nutshell, about the end of the world. I’m going to try and write this review with zero spoilers but I’ll warn you before I say anything close to one.
In the movie, there are two sets of main characters, the first is led by Oliver Platt and Chiwetel Ejiofor as the government scientists who spot that disaster is going to occur in 2009. The other group are a family led by John Cusack who is struggling to come to terms with the divorce from his wife, »

Salt Script Review
6 November 2009 10:45 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
When Kurt Wimmer’s (Equilibrium) script for Salt was originally picked up by Columbia Pictures, Tom Cruise was attached for the lead. However, scheduling conflicts or it’s resemblance to Mission: Impossible caused him to take a walk, leaving the role wide open for Angelina Jolie.
A few gender tweaks were all they needed to turn this Cold War thriller into an action vehicle for a strong woman. Having read the script, audiences are in for one hell of an awesome flick in July 2010.
The trailer indicates there have been some changes since Wimmer’s draft, which received rewrites by Brian Helgeland (Oscar winning screenwriter of Mystic River). For example, a key assassination attempt is shown as an explosion rather than the sniper operation described in the script’s quickly-turning pages. But it’s clear from the trailer that one thing remains as the core element in the film: this »

Love it or hate it, there’s no denying Independence Day was a big movie, with a place in cinematic history. Roland Emmerich has been the prince of diminishing returns since, but remains the current king of the global disaster movie. With next week’s 2012, he’s hoping to get his career back on track.
10,000 BC was universally panned, so he has decided to go back to what he does best. Namely, destroying contemporary landmarks, and killing a large percentage of the population. Emmerich loves himself a budget, and epic scale CGI, and judging from the trailer, he has used both liberally. There have been plenty of pre-release clips to encourage the hype. You can see a five minute clip in full HD here, some additional clips here, and some behind the scenes footage here.
As usual, however, there is a human story to be told. In this case, it »

‘2012′ To Have Spin-Off TV Series 2013?
6 November 2009 10:43 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Probably The spectacle movie of 2009 is going to end up being Roland Emmerich’s latest big-budget disaster flick, 2012, which focuses on the Mayan prophecy that the world will end in December of the year 2012. The $200 million, special-effects laden, film stars the likes of John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Woody Harrelson, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton and Danny Glover, and is set to crash into theaters in a week’s time.
However, with a film of this size, you know the buck rarely stops at one. In this case, Emmerich is already looking ahead at making more out of his latest disaster tale. Recently news surfaced that there was a 2012 sequel spin-off TV series in the works (yes, they’re thinking about furthering this seemingly finite disaster story). But wait, how can there be a sequel, in any form, of 2012… isn’t it supposed to be about the end of the world? That’s what I thought, »

This Weekend at the Movies: November 6, 2009
6 November 2009 3:32 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
It's hard to figure Hollywood out sometimes. Last week we had nothing outside of the last minute addition, Wednesday release of the Michael Jackson doc This is It and then this week is packed, albeit with a lot of smaller stuff and a pair of thrillers, but any weekend where I am posting five reviews is a pretty big week for movie releases. Let's check 'em out shall we?
The Fourth Kind Is it real? No. Is it any good? It's not bad and will likely be better for people going in knowing wholeheartedly it is fake, but then again, the filmmaker's attempts to convince you it's real may grate on you even more under those circumstances. It's hard to figure which side the general public will come down on this one and user comments should prove entertaining reads.
This film is rated PG-13 for violent/disturbing images, some terror, »

Salt Trailer - Now In English!
5 November 2009 9:25 AM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
The trailer for Salt debuted in low-fi Russian a couple of days ago, but here it is in rather spiffing English, making events a good bit more comprehensible for those of us on this side of the former Iron Curtain. Check it out over here on Yahoo!That's Angelina Jolie as Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer implicated in a supposed plot to assassinate the President of the Us. Rather than simply talk things out (which would make a well boring movie) she goes on the run, dyes her hair and generally starts crashing vehicles into anyone who tries to stop her quest to prove her own innocence and save El Prez.The film's directed by Phillip Noyce, who knows his action onions, based on a script by Kurt Wimmer and Brian Helgeland. It also stars Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor. »
Salt teaser trailer online
5 November 2009 12:57 AM, PST | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
The proper version of the Salt teaser trailer, starring Angelina Jolie, has gone up online. You may have caught the Russian version, but unless you speak Russian, most of the dialogue would have been impenetrable. Still, the action played well enough and now we all get to enjoy it with the added bonus of the original voices. It's being described as Lady Bourne Identity, and we can certainly see that. Jolie knows how to handle action - and it has a solid supporting cast which includes Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Take a look...

Teaser Trailer: Salt
4 November 2009 8:27 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Earlier today, a Russian version of the Salt trailer managed to leak onto the Internet and it was quickly culled by Sony. I’m glad as it was worth the wait to see it in HD. On other sites, it’s been compared to a Bourne-style conspiracy theory but what do you think? I’ve embedded it below or you can head over to Yahoo to view in HD.
Salt Stars Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Andre Braugher and is directed by Phillip Noyce who has previously brought us Patriot Games and the Bone Collector which also starred Jolie. This means that Noyce is also no stranger to action as Patriot Games in my opinion was awesome and gave both Harrison Ford and Sean Bean a chance to shine. Check out the synopsis below then watch the trailer and you’ll soon see the similarities to the Bourne series. »

Angelina Jolie in New Teaser Trailer as Agent Salt
4 November 2009 5:42 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
I love salt, all types of salt really – Sea salt, table salt, rock salt and Evelyn Salt. Not familiar with that last one? She’s next summer’s female action spy played the ever so pouty-lipped Angelina Jolie. At one point, Tom Cruise was rumored to be attached to the Phillip Noyce (Patriot Games, The Bone Collector) directed secret double agent yarn but ultimately, Noyce and company decided to go with a more feminine touch. Good move guys!
Jolie has proven time and again that she is the go-to woman in Hollywood for lead female action roles. Say what you want about the Tomb Raider movie, but as Lara Croft there can be no other woman playing the part. Same goes for her roles in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and last summer’s Wanted. In Salt, she appears to be just as convincing while playing a wrongly accused woman on the run. »

Trailer for Angelina Jolie Thriller ‘Salt’
4 November 2009 2:06 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Sony has released the English language trailer for Salt, a spy thriller from director Phillip Noyce and star Angelina Jolie. This is a deadly combination because of Jolie’s experience with fast-paced action (she actually replaced Tom Cruise when he backed out), and Noyce’s history of fun, charged flicks like the “Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan” films Clear and Present Danger and Patriot Games.
Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor also star.
The script is receiving extremely high marks, including landing at #7 in ScriptShadow’s reader Top 25 list this week. I’ll hopefully have my thoughts on the script sometime in the next few days, for those that are interested.
As for the trailer, it’s another Bourne-style action movie and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I’m liking the brutal, hard-hitting action lately as long as directors can keep the camera still while it’s happening.
