red-lightsDirector Rodrigo Cortes (Buried) is back with Red Lights starring Cillian Murphy, Sigourney Weaver and Robert De Niro.  It looks promising enough, although De Niro could be phoning it in again, it’s hard to tell as he’s hardly in the trailer.

I’ve heard from several reviews that there is more to this movie than what is presented here in the trailer.  They try and sell it as a supernatural thriller, but apparently there is more elementsto this movie. I guess we will find out when the movie opens March 2nd.  Watch the trailer below:

RED LIGHTS starts out from the experiences of two rationalist scientists who dissect phenomena from the metapsychic world, and the clash of forces with a world famous psychic they bring about. The past and the present of each the protagonists contain still unrevealed shadows, setting in train a dark story of growing tension, full of unexpected twists and turns.

Here is the trailer for Being Flynn starring Robert De Niro, it’s an adaptation of the Nick Flynn memoir Another Bullshit Night in Suck City. The film was directed by Paul Weitz (American Pie) and also stars Paul Dano, Olivia Thirlby, Dale Dickey, Lili Taylor, and Julianne Moore.  It looks like De Niro finally has a good movie under his belt after so many poor choices as of late.

It tells the story of a young writer, Nick (Paul Dano), who takes a job at a homeless shelter – where one night he discovers his long-absent father Jonathan (Robert De Niro) seeking a bed.

Check out the trailer below:

new-years-eve

The trailer for Garry Marshall‘s New Year’s Eve has been released and left me angry and confused.  Robert De Niro…need I go on?  I don’t tolerate these movies that put a huge cast together leaving most of of them with just a few minutes of screen time all so they can make a fancy poster with pretty faces and big names.  They were on the set for half a day filming what is basically a cameo and I’m supposed to be impressed?  Jog on.

The cast includes Robert De Niro, Ashton Kutcher, Halle Berry, Jessica Biel, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sarah Jessica Parker, Hilary Swank, Zac Efron, Sienna Miller, Lea Michele, Sofia Vergara, Abigail Breslin, Til Schweiger, Seth Meyers, Jon Bon Jovi, Josh Duhamel, and Carla Gugino.

New Year’s Eve opens on December 9th, just in time for…Christmas?  Hit the jump to watch the trailer.

The first trailer for Killer Elite is here, which keep in mind when you watch the crazy trailer that it’s “based on a true story”.  If “Rock You Like a Hurricane” wasn’t enough to excite you, there’s a close up of a woman’s ass underwater, action movies!

limitless

Neil Burger directs Limitless starring Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro, the film opens on March 18, 2011 and we have a trailer for you.  It seems like a pretty slick movie, De Niro stands out for me here though, getting good vibes from him in this role, haven’t been able to say that a lot over the past few years.  Jump for the trailer, leave comments below.

The thriller follows an unpublished writer whose life is transformed by a top-secret smart drug that allows him to use 100% of his brain and become a perfect version of himself. His enhanced abilities soon attract shadowy forces that threaten his new life in this darkly comic and provocative film. (more…)

uncharted

Mark Wahlberg has confirmed to MTV that he will play video game hero Nathan Drake in an adaptation of Uncharted: Drake’s Forturne.  The Uncharted series are some great fun, if you have a PS3 and haven’t played, you have some catching up to do.  David O. Russell (Three Kings) is directing and Wahlberg in the same interview said Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci are being sough after to join the film.  This will be the third time Wahlberg and Russell have worked together (Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees and The Fighter).

Wahlberg said:

David is one of the best writer/directors I’ve ever worked with. The idea that he has is just insane. So hopefully we’ll be making that movie this summer.

That’s who he wants to write the parts for. I talked to Pesci about it and I know David’s people have talked to [Robert De Niro]. I’m obviously in whatever David wants to do but the idea of it is so off the charts: De Niro being my father, Pesci being my uncle. It’s not going to be the watered-down version, that’s for sure.

uncharted

Well two things: The film will not be following the video game since none of Drake’s family members ever made an appearance. Also, Nathan Fillion will not be starring [see that news here].

the irishman

Goodfellas, The Godfather Part II, Heat, Raging Bull, Mean Streets and Casino.

Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro, and director Martin Scorsese (all Oscar winners) might be teaming up for a mob movie.  Ladies and gentlemen, I can say without hyperbole that this is going to be the greatest movie ever made about anything ever.

Pacino and Pesci are reportedly “circling” a film that De Niro and Scorsese have been preparing for several years called The Irishman about mob hitman Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran who claims to have killed Jimmy Hoffa and many others. Earlier this year, De Niro spoke at the Tribeca Film Festvial about the ambitious idea he and Scorsese had to make the film:

We have a more ambitious idea, hopefully, to make it a two-part type of film or two films…It’s an idea that came about from Eric Roth to combine these movies using the footage from ‘Paint Houses’ to do another kind of a [film that is] reminiscent of a kind of ‘8 1/2,’ ‘La Dolce Vita,’ [a] certain kind of biographical, semi-biographical type of Hollywood movie — a director and the actor — based on things Marty and I have experienced and kind of overlapping them.

Well whatever the hell that means, this project is going to be a few years out (if it happens) as Scorsese is currently working on his 3D family film Hugo Cabret [see here] and would probably make Silence after that, a story of Jesuits who face danger and persecution as they try to spread Christianity in 17th century Japan, which isn’t appearing on IMDB anymore.  So what does it all mean?  Let’s get excited anyways because all four of these names were in a post about a potential mob movie.

StoneDirected by John CurranStone stars Robert De Niro, Edward Norton and Milla Jovovich – As parole officer Jack Mabry (De Niro) counts the days toward a quiet retirement, he is asked to review the case of Gerald “Stone” Creeson (Norton), in prison for covering up the murder of his grandparents with a fire. Now eligible for early release, Stone needs to convince Jack he has reformed, but his attempts to influence the older man’s decision have profound and unexpected effects on them both.

Stone opens in select theaters on October 8th.  Check the trailer below and leave your thoughts. (more…)
