Empires Of The Deep has been a bit of a troubled production, and despite a $130 million budget, it doesn’t look like the final product is going to blow us all away. The movie is set in an underwater world, revealing the fantastic realm of the mermaids, who end up at war with all manner of deep sea beasties. Olga Kurylenko stars. The film is the passion project of Chinese real estate tycoon Jon Jiang, who wrote the script himself (hence the dodgy dialogue), and it has a revolving door or directors before Michael French ended up in the chair, despite the fact he’s never handled anything even remotely on this scale. No release is currently set for the 3D movie, and don’t expect it to be a box office triumph when it does.

New Django Unchained Trailer Arrives – Fresh footage from Tarantino’s flick
A rather cool new trailer has arrived for Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming movie, which is set for UK release on January 18th. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars Academy Award-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles dead or alive.
‘Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the Souths most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago.
‘Django and Schultzs search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of “Candyland, an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody (Kurt Russell) to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (amuel L. Jackson), Candie’s trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival.’
