Although some of the special effects shots in this extended TV spot look a little dodgy (hopefully that’ll be sorted out before the film is released), The Lone Ranger certainly seems like it’ll be spectacular and fun – which is what you’d hope considering the $200+ million budget.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes.Native American spirit warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.’

The film will be released on August 9th, 2013.

When Byzantium debuted at TIFF last year it was met with decidedly mixed reviews, but it’s definitely an intriguing looking movie, with Neil Jordan going back to the world of bloodsuckers for the first time since Interview With The Vampire.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Eleanor (Saoirse Ronan) is a precocious girl with a bent for storytelling. A natural introvert, her idea of a good time is to put pen to paper and reflect on her inner life. Her “sister” Clara (Gemma Arterton) is the complete opposite: extroverted and sexual, she struts around in stilettos and skin-tight garb, attracting hungry male gazes wherever she goes. Both carry secrets from deep in their shared past — all 200 years of it — which bubbles to the surface as Jordan wends his way through the twists and turns of the plot.

‘It turns out that Clara was involved in a passionate love affair during the Napoleonic Wars, while at the same time Eleanor was abandoned as a child. In the present, both seek to preserve their secret from their unsuspecting new companions. Eleanor falls for a sweet young waiter (Caleb Landry Jones), while Clara settles on a homey, unsuspecting man (Daniel Mays) who has just come into an inheritance: the Byzantium Hotel, which has seen better days. The fun begins as Eleanor and Clara shack up in the hotel, feeding off their victims while attempting to stay one step ahead of their pursuers, who are hot on the duo’s trail after Clara rather violently disposes of a particularly seedy pickup.’

The movie, which also stars Jonny Lee Miller, Sam Riley, and Tom Hollander, will be out in the Uk on May 3rd.

Although World War Z has been hit by delays and major reshoots, there’s no doubt that everything we’ve seen of it so far has looked incredibly cool. Now a few days ahead of the game itself, the movie’s Superbowl TV ad has been released, giving us a fresh look at the zombie mayhem.

The story revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop the zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself. Merielle Enos plays Gerry’s wife Karen Lane; Daniella Kertesz is his comrade in arms, Segen.

The movie is due out June 21st 2013 (the reshoots delayed it from a planned Christmas 2012 release), so expect plenty more footage and info before then.

It’s nice to know that Disney hasn’t completely given up on hand-drawn animation and that they’re also still able to come up with innovative shorts. With Paperman nominated for a Best Animated Short Oscar, the full film has now been put online, presumably in the hope as many Oscar voters will get to see it as possible.

It’s a sweet and charming black and white mix of hand-drawn and CG animation, telling the story of a young man’s attempts to get the attention of a girl he previously met on a train platform. It’s sweet, charming and stylish, so take a look.

Michel Gondry is certainly a filmmaker who likes to chart his own course, making documentaries, music videos, commercials, and movies such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Be Kind Rewind and The Green Hornet. For Mood Indigo he’s gone back to his native france and teamed up with Audrey Tatou for a rather unusual romance.

The trailer (which is in French with no subtitles) shows us a rather surreal movie, with plenty of unsual dreamy sequences. Mood Indigo is about a young couple (Romain Duris and Audrey Tautou) whose marriage is complicated by the woman’s unusual illness. The problem is that she has a water lily in her lung, and the only treatment is to surround her constantly with fresh flowers! He meanwhile is the inventor of an olfactory-musical device called the pianocktail.

While it could be great it’s a premise that might also be too quirky for its own good. Hopefully it’ll be released in the UK later this year, so we’ll get to find out.

Many had thought the Coen Brothers’ Inside Llewlyn Davis would get an Oscar-bait late-2012 release, but it’s not hitting the US until February 8th and should come to the UK not long afterwards.

Oscar Isaac stars as the title character, a folk singer making his way through the Greenwich Village music scene in the 1960s. The movie is loosely based on the life of folk singer Dave Van Ronk. Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, Gerrett Hedlund, and John Goodman also star.

It certainly looks stylish, with plenty of the Coens’ trademark sharp dialogue, although it’s definitely one of their more idisyncratic efforts.
