In this case of utterly useless information-spreading I want to direct your attention unto some upcoming films that might interest you. One of them is HANNA. I've seen it in a Sneak Preview two weeks ago. Scheduled for May 26 in Germany this is one of the weirdest films I've ever seen. It surprised me a lot. If you get the chance to see it OV, do it. Because Eric Bana has the most perfect German accent and a lot of the other actors have really bad ones, including the psychotic Reeperbahn-club owner slash assassin, which makes him an even more psychotic person. He whistles his own tune, too. I'm pretty sure this movie won't do well with Box Office #s but will gain some scholarly attention. Really worth watching, trust me.
The other big news is that Silent Hill: Revelation 3D started filming a couple weeks ago. I got tricked by a really good looking fan-trailer that is right here:
The 2nd movie-adaptation of the Silent Hill video game series seems to deal primarily with Heather and the storyline of Silent Hill 3. Just let's hope that director Michael J. Bassett does this one as well as Christophe Gans did with the previous adaptation, still one of the best videogame adaptations out there. And it makes so much sense to shoot it in 3D, too, with all the oblique camera angles and shifting of worlds/consciousness. I'm really looking forward to that one, scheduled somewhen in 2012 and having Malcolm McDowell (Clockwork Orange) on board.
Also with Malcolm McDowell on board is Amy Heckerling's Vamps, which marks her second collaboration with Alicia Silverstone as female lead, after 1995s Clueless. Richard Lewis and Sigourney Weaver also join this Vampire RomCom. Not much more information about this one, though.
