Upcoming Films:

Hereafter Trailer
Hereafter is the tale of three people - a blue collar American, a French journalist, and a London schoolboy - who are touched by death in different ways. The film is Clint Eastwood's directorial follow up to his Golden Globe nominated 2008 film, Gran Torino. It looks like it will be a fantasy thriller with an overlapping storyline ala Crash, Babel, or 21 Grams.

The Fighter Trailer
The Fighter is the tale of the Irish, Bostonian boxer Mickey Ward. The film stars Mark Wahlberg (Four Brothers, Basketball Diaries) as Mickey and Christian Bale (American Psycho, The Dark Knight) as Mickey's brother, Dickie Eklund. The film also stars Amy Adams (Doubt).

Biutiful Trailer
Biutiful is the upcoming film directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu (Babel, 21 Grams, Amores Perros). The film stars Javier Bardem (No Country For Old Men, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) as a man in free fall. He is trying to redeem himself for the wrongs of his past but darkness lights his path.

127 Hours Trailer
Danny Boyle makes great movies, this is no secret. With films like Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, and 28 Days Later under his belt, Boyle sets out to tell the true story of a mountain climber who becomes trapped under a boulder while canyoneering in Utah in the film 127 Hours. The film's main character Aron Ralston, played by James Franco (Milk, Pineapple Express), must resort to desperate measures in order to survive.

Black Swan Trailer
Words cannot explain how excited I am for Black Swan. I read the screenplay back in March and found it extremely intriguing. Darren Aronofsky's follow up to his Academy Award nominated 2008 film The Wrestler stars Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Winona Ryder, & Vincent Cassel. It is a psychological thriller that hones in to the rivalry of 1 or 2 or 3 ballet dancers. Aronofsky has directed some of my favorite films including Requiem For a Dream, The Fountain,  and Pi. The score was orchestrated by Clint Mansell who is famous in Hollywood as one of the best score musicians money can buy. The storyline will parallel Swan Lake with fantasy elements. It has received positive attention at the Venice and Toronto International Film Festivals.

True Grit Trailer
I am very excited for True Grit, the next feature film from the Coen brothers (No Country For Old Men, Fargo, The Big Lebowski). Not a remake, but rather a re-adaptation of the 1969 John Wayne adaptation of the 1968 Charles Portis novel, this film portrays Mattie Ross as a girl who tags along with a tough US Marshal to track down her father's murderer. The film stars Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Jeff Bridges.
