New "Prince of Persia" (2010) teaser poster

New image from "Nine"!

Trailer for "In the Loop"

I'd heard this title thrown around a while back, but I didn't know anything about it. I regret that now, because I'm actually really excited to see it. It looks like "Burn After Reading" meets "Dr. Strangelove".

Surprising teaser posters for "Prince of Persia" (2010)

I have to agree with the Slashfilm author: the posters are much different than what I would have expected (ie: Something saturated with colors and giving us glimpses of a lot of different scenes or characters like "Pirates of the Caribbean"). The almost complete use of black and white and the very un-action adventure-esque font almost make it look like a dark, borderline art-house fantasy/action film. Of course, seeing as this is a big-budget production from Disney, that won't be the case, but hey, I can dream, can't I?

On a side note: they've done a really good job of making Jake Gyllenhaal look like the titular Prince...from the second game (titled Warrior Within). This will be interesting to see what they've done with the story. Just as long as they keep the Dagger of Time.....

Based on the UbiSoft video game trilogy which was, in turn, an update of Jordan Mechner’s classic original side-scrolling game, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is written by Mechner, Boaz Yakin, Doug Miro and Carlo Bernard and directed by Mike Newell. (This marking Newell’s second big foray into fantasy after the fourth Harry Potter film, in 2005.) Sir Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina co-star.

Dastan (Gyllenhaal) is a street urchin adopted by the King, an ends up going after the Sands of Time, a time-controlling artifact held by the evil Nizam (Kingsley). But the games were much more about acrobatics that brought players into the action than they were overt story. Sure, Bruckheimer has spun straw into unlikely gold before with the Pirates of the Caribbean series, but there he had license to create characters and story wholesale. This time, the film is based just enough on the UbiSoft video game series to be recognizable. But Newell has the look of the main character just right — seriously, in these images Gyllenhaal could easily be mistaken for the digital Prince — and that gives me just enough hope that we’ll see a grand arabic (well, faux-arabic) adventure, if not the arty action these posters promise.

"Iron Man 2" finishes shooting; how long until the first trailer?

Production on Iron Man 2’s principal photography wrapped on Saturday, after 72 days of shooting.

Marvel Studios producer Kevin Feige issued a statement to Marvel.com:

Shooting ‘Iron Man 2′ was a fantastic experience and we couldn’t be happier. Although there were many challenges in making this film, having Jon Favreau, Robert Downey, Gwyneth Paltrow and almost the entire crew from the first film back on board, allowed us to hit the ground running as everyone was instantly familiar with each other from day one. This dynamic allowed us to get done what we needed on a day to day basis and was a big factor in why we finished slightly ahead of schedule. Scarlett Johansson, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell and especially Don Cheadle all stepped right in and meshed well with our returning cast. From our experience on the first film, we learned what works and doesn’t work in terms of shooting practical versus CGI especially with the Iron Man suit. This enabled us to be much more efficient in many departments, making it a much smoother experience.” … “The next step for us is beginning the post production process which is extensive and filled with its own set of challenges. It is also a very exciting time because you get to see all the hard work from the hundreds of cast and crew members begin to come to life.

Casting news: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" (2010/11) EDIT: Thompson's replacement not found, but her sister has been added to the cast.

As filming continues in England for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, there are a few bits of casting news to update on. First TLC has word that the part of Ministry of Magic worker Mafilda Hopkirk has been recast and will now be portrayed by actress Sophie Thompson (Nicholas Nickelby, A Room with a View), who is the sister of actress Emma Thompson (Prof Trelawney). Also the part of Ron's Auntie Muriel will reportedly be played by longtime character actress Matyelok Gibbsp, who was most recently seen in Miss Potter. Finally, as noted first by TLC reader Enrico regarding this article in Elle Magazine that states Clemence Poesy will reprise her role as Fleur Delacour in Deathly Hallows. While this was long expected, TLC can now independently confirm that indeed Clemence has been on set in prep for filming of scenes that will no doubt include the Weasley Wedding, interiors at Shell Cottage, the 7 Potters and more. Again, as with every one of the casting reports over the months, TLC believes these to be accurate but official confirmation will arrive only when WB issues a formal announcement. The long summer of filming on DH continues, with Part one of Harry Potter and the Deathly due in theaters November, 2010.
