Mark Webber is an interesting figure, as while he best known for appearing in the likes of Snow Day and Scott Pilgrim, he doesn’t have the same background as most Hollywood actors, having grown up on the streets as a youth, sleeping rough with his mother.

Now he’s preparing for the release his second film as a director, The End Of Love. The trailer for the intensely personal drama is now here, giving us a look at  the story of a young man struggling with growing up once the mother of his child passes away.

The film co-stars Shannyn Sossamon, Michael Cera, Aubrey Plaza, Amanda Seyfried and will hit iTunes in the US on January 21st before opening in theaters March 1. No UK date is currently set.

Shane Carruth made a big splash in indie circles with 2004’s Primer, but it’s only now that we’re getting his second movie, and a new trailer has been released to give us a look at the film. Carruth has been keeping the plot of the movie is a bit mysterious, and this new trailer raises as many questions as it answers.

We do know a little about the movie as the short synopsis says: ‘A young woman (Amy Seimetz) is abducted and seemingly brainwashed via an organic material harvested from a specific flower. She later meets a man (Carruth) and after the two fall for each other, they come to realize he may also have been subjected to the same process.’

The film will premiere at Sundance after which the director plans to eschew the traditional distribution route, releasing it himself and taking it around the country, before it hits screens in LA in April and then heads to VOD soon after. There’s no news yet on when we might get to see it in the UK.

Most people wouldn’t have time to remake the whole of Toy Story as a live action movie, but that’s just what a group of fans have done, retooling the movie with real people, toys, stop-motion and puppetry. Ity’s cheap and cheerful but a lot of fun and works surprisingly well.

The project’s Facebook page says, ‘The Live Action Pixar Toy Story movie, shot-for-shot, with real people and real toys. “TS Project” started production in late June 2010 by Jonason Pauley, (then 17), and Jesse Perrotta (18).’

It’s a shot-for-shot do-over that’s well worth a look, so have a watch.

Halle Berry’s movie output has been very up and down, with some good movies interspersed amongst a lot of rubbish. She’ll be hoping her new film, The Call, fares better than the likes of Dark Tide and Frankie & Alice.

The Brad Anderson (The Machinist) movie sees Berry as a 911 operator who gets call from a kidnapped teenager (Abigail Breslin). Jordan soon realises that the abduction has ties to an incident from her past, and that she must face her demons if the girl is to get out alive.

It’s one of those premises that could make for an okay movie, but already sounds slightly unbelievable. Hopefully the film will be okay. Check out the trailer below. No UK date is currently set, but it’s out in the US in March.

You might have expected that a biopic of the first black player in professional baseball would be released to vie for the Oscars, but instead Warner Bros is planning to release 42 in April in the US (with no UK date currently set).

Now a new featurette has shown up giving us a new look at the movie, including Harrison Ford’s rather extreme makeup, which makes his difficult to recognise.

42 tells the true story of Jackie Robinson, the legendary baseball player who broke Major League Baseball’s colour barrier when he joined the roster of the Brooklyn Dodgers. The movie stars Harrison Ford as the innovative Dodger’s general manager Branch Rickey, the MLB executive who first signed Robinson to the minors and then helped to bring him up to the show, and Chadwick Boseman (The Express) as Robinson, the heroic African American who was the first man to break the colour line in the big leagues.

Quentin Dupieux’s last film, Rubber, about a killer tyre, was very strange, so it’s no surprise that the trailer for his new movie, Wrong, is very odd as well.

Jack Plotnick stars as Dolph Springer, who awakens one morning to find he has lost the sole love of his life-his dog, Paul. Desperate to reunite with his best friend and to set things right, Dolph embarks on a journey which spirals into the realm of the absurd. On his quest, he drastically alters the lives of several severely bizarro characters, including a promiscuous pizza delivery girl (Alexis Dziena), a mentally unstable, jogging-addicted neighbor, an opportunistic French-Mexican gardener, an eccentric pet detective (Steve Little) and most mysterious of all, an enigmatic pony-tailed guru, Master Chang (William Fichtner) who imparts his teachings to Dolph on how to metaphysically reconnect with his pet.

There’s no UK release set yet, but it hits VOD formats February 1st before arriving in cinema on March 29th.
