Vin Diesel and director David Twohy have never given up on Riddick, despite the fact the big budget Chronicles Of Riddick failed at the box office. Now they’re back with a film that’s promised to be closer to the tone of Pitch Black. At the film’s Comic-Con panel, an extended red band trailer was revealed, which has now popped up online.

Here’s the plot synopsis: ‘In the film, the infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

‘The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy.’

 It should hit cinemas this autumn.

Last Vegas has been described as the ‘old boys Hangover’ with the likes of Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Michael Douglas and Kevin Kline (who are all, incidentally, Oscar winners) heading to Vegas and inevitably getting into trouble. Now the full trailer for the movie has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Billy (Michael Douglas), Paddy (Robert De Niro), Archie (Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Kevin Kline) have been best friends since childhood. So when Billy, the group’s sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something (of course) girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days. However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined. The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it’s these four who are taking over Vegas.’

It should hit cinemas in November.

There haven’t been that many movies about F1, partly because it’s not that popular in the US and so the rather myopic people in Hollywood don’t see it as a good box office bet. They’ll make Nascar movies, despite the fact 90% of the world’s population knows nothing about that, but generally ignore the biggest motorsport competition in the world.

However Rush is bucking that trend, with Ron Howard directing and Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl set to star. Now we can get a fresh look at the film with a new trailer.

Set in the 1970s, Hemsworth plays James Hunt with Bruhl as Niki Lauda. Hunt was a dashing playboy with a wild social life, whose exploits off the track filled more column inches than what he did while racing. Lauda meanwhile was a quieter figure, but still an amazing and driven racer. Their rivalry became legendary.

Olivia Wilde, Natalie Dormer and Alexandra Maria Lara also star, with the film set for release in September.

The run up to Comic-Con continues apace with a new video giving us our first look at footage of Jamie Foxx as the villainous Electro in The Amazing Spider-man 2, letting us know that ‘Electro Arrives’ in the convention’s Hall H on Friday.

Here’s the film’s synopsis: ‘In ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2,’ for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough.

‘Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.’

It’s due out May 2nd 2014.

Julian Assange is certainly a figure who divides people into staunch camps. Some see him as a hero whose Wikileaks has fought for government transparency, while others view him as a villain who’s put soldier’s lives at risk and made life easier for terrorists.

But whatever side you’re on, Assange himself is an interesting if rather strange figure (like many whistleblowers, irrespective of whether he’s right or wrong, he often comes across as a bit of a dick). Now Benedict Cumberbatch is taking him on in The Fifth Estate, which has already caused controversy with some deciding it’s going to be a hatchet job and going on the offensive, while others have attacked it in case it’s an apologia for a man they see as a traitor.

We can get our first feel for the film now that a trailer has been released.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Triggering our age of high-stakes secrecy, explosive news leaks and the trafficking of classified information, WikiLeaks forever changed the game. Now, in a dramatic thriller based on real events, THE FIFTH ESTATE reveals the quest to expose the deceptions and corruptions of power that turned an Internet upstart into the 21st century’s most fiercely debated organization.

‘The story begins as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his colleague Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Daniel Brühl) team up to become underground watchdogs of the privileged and powerful. On a shoestring, they create a platform that allows whistleblowers to anonymously leak covert data, shining a light on the dark recesses of government secrets and corporate crimes.

‘Soon, they are breaking more hard news than the world’s most legendary media organizations combined. But when Assange and Berg gain access to the biggest trove of confidential intelligence documents in U.S. history, they battle each other and a defining question of our time: what are the costs of keeping secrets in a free society—and what are the costs of exposing them?”

‘The Fifth Estate is presented by DreamWorks Pictures and Reliance Entertainment in association with Participant Media and is produced by Steve Golin and Michael Sugar, with Bill Condon directing. The screenplay is by Josh Singer, based on the book “Inside WikiLeaks” by Daniel Domscheit-Berg and the Guardian book “WikiLeaks” by David Leigh and Luke Harding. The film will be released in U.S. theaters on October 18, 2013.

Now here’s a film that’s definitely hoping to be in the Oscar race. 12 Years a Slave is based on a fascinating and Oscar-worthy story, and also has a great cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Fassbender, John Ridley. Brad Pitt, Paul Dano, Sarah Paulson, Scoot McNairy, Garret Dillahunt and Alfre Woodard. And with Shame’s Steven McQueen directing, perhaps we should just give it the awards right now.

The movie is based on the true story of Solomon Northrup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man in the mid-19th Century who was kidnapped in Washington and sold into slavery. He was rescued from a Louisiana cotton plantation in 1853.

It’s due in cinemas at the end of the year, but take a look at the riveting trailer below.
