First Immortals Trailer

Immortals looks set to be one of the most exciting movies at the end of the year as the film brings together an all star cast – Henry Cavill, Freida Pinto, Luke Evans and Mickey Rourke.

Eons after the Gods won their mythic struggle against the Titans, a new evil threatens the land. Mad with power, King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) has declared war against humanity.

Amassing a bloodthirsty army of soldiers disfigured by his own hand, Hyperion has scorched Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares.

Only he who possesses this bow can unleash the Titans, who have been imprisoned deep within the walls of Mount Tartaros since the dawn of time and thirst for revenge.

In the king’s hands, the bow would rain destruction upon mankind and annihilate the Gods. But ancient law dictates the Gods must not intervene in man’s conflict.

They remain powerless to stop Hyperion until a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) comes forth as their only hope.

Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes. Rallying a band of fellow outsiders – including visionary priestess Phaedra (Freida Pinto) and cunning slave Stavros (Stephen Dorff) – one hero will lead the uprising, or watch his homeland fall into ruin and his Gods vanish into legend.

Immortals is released 11th November. Take a look at the trailer:

New Green Lantern Posters

The superhero movie is set to dominate the big screen in summer 2011 – Thor has already set the ball rolling and we have plenty to look forward to.

Green Lantern just so happens to be one of the movies that, if you are a fan of this genre, you should be excited about.

Ryan Reynolds is back on the big screen as Hal Jordan in the Martin Campbell directed movie which also stars Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard and Mark Strong.

In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers.

But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan.

Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity.

With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.

Green Lantern is released 17th June. Take a look at two new poster for the movie:

Water For Elephants Clips

Water For Elephants sees Robert Pattinson return to the big screen next month as he teams up with Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz.

As a young man, Jacob Jankowski was tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth.

It was the early part of the great Depression, and for Jacob, now ninety, the circus world he remembers was both his salvation and a living hell.

A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer.

And he met Rosie, an untrainable elephant who was the great gray hope for this third-rate traveling show.

The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was one of love and trust, and, ultimately, it was their only hope for survival.

Water For Elephats is released 4th May. Take a look at some new clips from the movie:

Latest X-Men: First Class Trailer

X-Men: First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events.

Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time.

Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to prevent nuclear Armageddon.

In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men.

X-Men: First Class is released 1st June. Take a look at the new trailer for the movie:
