Although there’s been a lot of interest in the supporting actors from Twilight, the only one of them to have real success outside the franchise is Anna Kendrick, who was Oscar-nominated for Up In The Air. However the hunk of muscle that is Kellan Lutz certainly looks like an action star, and now he’s going performance-capture, playing Tarzan in a new CG take on the classic tale, according to Deadline.
Lutz will play the man brought up by chimps in the jungle, with the motion-capture technology allowing him to swing through the trees like never before. Resident Evil: Afterlife actress Spencer Locke is in talks to play Jane in the film.
Reinhard Klooss (Animals United) will direct, with Constantin Films backing the movie.
If you thought the action crew in The Expendables was good, The Expendables 2 plans to blow it out of the water, and the new trailer is here to prove it. Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) are back – alongside new members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) – are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time – six tons of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that’s nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. The film’s out August 17th.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun, and now a new featurette has emerged, which treats the US President’s story as if in real-life he really was battling bloodsuckers and was essentially ‘the Batman of the 19th Century’. There’s also plenty of great footage from the film, which arrives in cinemas on August 2nd. The film reimagines Lincoln as a man driven by an insatiable hatred of the vampires who killed his mother and whose rise to the top on the US was all about battling the supernatural.
At the age of only 28, Ben ‘Plan B’ Drew is busy being quite the renaissance man. He’s taken the music world by storm, proved a capable actor in the likes of Adulthood and Harry Brown, and now he’s written and directed iLL Manors. The movie is out June 6th, and now the full trailer is available. Here’s the synopsis: ‘A unique crime thriller set on the unforgiving streets of London, iLL MANORS follows six disparate lives, all struggling to survive the circles of violence that engulf them. There is ex-dealer Kirby, who has just been released from prison, thug Ed who will stop at nothing to find his missing phone, troubled Michelle who is just looking for her next hit, young Jake who finds himself drawn to the local gang, Chris, who seeks revenge, Katya, who is desperately trying to escape this foreign land, and Aaron, our main protagonist who is just trying to do the right thing.

Ground-breaking in its approach, iLL MANORS proves to be one of the must-see films of 2012.’
