There’s a lot of good buzz surrounding Lawless (we’ve seen it and out review will be up shortly before its September 7th UK release). Now a new red band trailer for the film has arrived, which ups level of violence and skin for the prohibition-era drama. Directed by John Hillcoat from a script by him and Proposition cohort Nick Cave, Lawless is based on Matt Bodurant’s book about the author’s grandfather and two great-uncles, who were part of a fierce criminal gang at the centre of the US’s moonshine trade during prohibition. The story also follows a writer named Sherwood Anderson, who is on the trail of the bootlegging gang. The film has a great cast, with Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain, and Mia Wasikowska onboard.

Darren Lynn Bousman made his name directing Saw sequels and has since made the likes of Repo!: The Genetic Opera, Mother’s Day and 11-11-11. His latest offering is The Barrens, which takes on a slice of dark American folklore. Here’s the synopsis: ‘It’s known as the Jersey Devil, the winged beast spawned 400 years ago by Satan himself. Some say this creature still inhabits the dense pine forests of southern New Jersey, where Richard Vineyard (Moyer) takes his family for a rustic weekend camping trip. As the Vineyard family ventures further into the woods in search of the perfect campsite, Richard teeters on the edge of sanity. Welcome to a new kind of horror that lives – and kills – in a place called The Barrens. Mia Kirshner, Erick Knudsen and Allie MacDonald also star.’

The Impossible will be trying to compete for awards, with its US release set for December 21st, just in time to qualify for the 2013 Oscars, with the movie reaching UK shores on January 4th. Here’s the synopsis, ‘Maria (Naomi Watts), Henry (Ewan McGregor) and their three sons begin their winter vacation in Thailand, looking forward to a few days in tropical paradise. But on the morning of December 26th, as the family relaxes around the pool after their Christmas festivities the night before, a terrifying roar rises up from the center of the earth. As Maria freezes in fear, a huge wall of black water races across the hotel grounds toward her. Based on a true story, The Impossible is the unforgettable account of a family caught, with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time. But the true-life terror is tempered by the unexpected displays of compassion, courage and simple kindness that Maria and her family encounter during the darkest hours of their lives. Both epic and intimate, devastating and uplifting, The Impossible is a journey to the core of the human hear.’

With Avengers Assemble hitting DVD & Blu-ray on September 17th, an extended scene featuring Loki and Hawkeye plus a fun blooper reel for the movie have hit the internet. Although you can understand why the Loki-Hawkeye scene was shortened, it’s still an interesting addition to the film. So take a look.

After Trespass and Justice, Nicolas Cage continues his love of generically named thrillers (which can preferably be shot near his home in New Orleans) with Stolen, and the trailer for the film has now arrived. In the film, Will Montgomery (Cage) is a master thief who after being double-crossed in a heist gone awry is sent to prison for eight years. Upon his release he’s ready to leave his criminal past behind and try to rebuild a relationship with his estranged daughter Allison. The FBI and his old cohorts believe that he hid the loot from the last heist 8 years ago, $10 Million in Bonds. To get his hands on it, his old partner Vincent (Josh Lucas) kidnaps Allison and demands the entire $ 10 Million as ransom. Keeping her in the soundproofed trunk of a Taxi Cab, he’s able to stay mobile amongst the throngs of taxis out during Mardi Gras day making it nearly impossible to find. Montgomery only has one day to get the $10 Million ransom but much to the disbelief of the FBI on his trail and Vincent, Will doesn’t actually have it. Instead, he must trust his instincts and his old partner in crime, the beautiful, sexy and smart Riley (Malin Ackerman), to do one more clever heist to get his daughter back alive before it’s too late. Simon West (Con Air, Expendables 2) directs.

Can Channing Tatum keep his incredible hot streak going with 10 Years? Well, on the evidence of the trailer, it look like it could be okay when it hits cinemas later this year, with Channing heading for his high shcool 10 year reunion. In the movie Jake (Tatum) is deeply in love with his girlfriend and ready to propose – until he runs into his high school flame for the first time in ten years. Jake’s friend Cully married his cheerleader girlfriend, and has been looking forward to the reunion so he can finally apologize to all the classmates he bullied in high school. However, after a few too many drinks, the jock-turned-family man ends up reverting back to his old ways instead. Meanwhile, longtime rivals Marty and A.J spend the night still trying to one-up each other to impress the coolest girl in class, who now has a secret. The famous one of the group, Reeves, is now well-known musician, but is still too shy to talk to the high school crush who inspired his one hit wonder.
