Marley Trailer

I am a big fan of filmmaker Kevin MacDonald and he is back with a new documentary Marley, a picture about one of the biggest icons in music… Bob Marley.

And we have the new trailer for MacDonald’s documentary for you to take a look at:

Marley’s music and message of love and redemption are known throughout the world and his story has finally been brought to life in this definitive work by the acclaimed talent of Kevin Macdonald.

Bob Marley’s universal appeal, impact on music history and his role as a social and political prophet is both unique and unparalleled. His music and message transcend culture, language and creed and resonate around the world today as powerfully as when he was alive.

Only a handful of musicians have ever achieved such an impact and Bob Marley, though his life was far too short, stands among them.

As one of the most accomplished documentary and feature filmmakers of a new generation, Kevin Macdonald delivers the definitive work on Bob Marley, his life and a truly global influence.

Filming took place as far afield as Ghana, Japan and the UK, in addition to Bob’s beloved Jamaica and the States, and marks the first time ever that his family has authorized the use of their own private archives.

Marley is released 20th April.

A Fourth Pirates Film On The Horizon

Pirates of the Carribean-While everyone may have thought that the success, and highly unexpected, Pirates of the Caribbean franchise had sailed into the sunset at the end of At World’s End it has been reported that Disney are planning a fourth movie.

The film is supposedly scheduled to be released in 2011 however no plot, cast members or director was hinted at in this report.

However many will assume that Johnny Depp will be tied to this project as Captain Jack Sparrow, the character that made these movies such a success.

During promotion for the third instalment the popular actor did admit that he would be open to returning to this character in the future.

-The Weinstein Company has acquired the rights to Rita Marley’s account of living with reggae star Bob Marley, No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley.

It is believed that the film would follow Rita and Bob Marley rocky relationship which includes the birth of their children, his affairs and an assassination attempt.

No cast has yet been named.

This would not be the first time a Marley production has tried to tell the singer’s story as Warner Bros tried to get together a project based on Timothy White’s book Catch a Fire.

Justice League-Warner Bros, now the writer’s strike is over, are now moving forward to get The Justice League project off the ground.

Amendments are being made to the script and casting is going ahead in the hope that the film will be in cinemas by 2009.

The Justice League, based on the popular DC Comic, brings together some of the most beloved superheroes including Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

Rumoured to have already been cast is the O.C’s Adam Brody as the Flash, rapper Common as the Green Lantern, and Megan Gale as Wonder Woman.

What roles Superman and Batman will have in the new project is yet to be determined with both characters having stand alone projects. Batman actor Christian Bale claimed that he would not take part in the Justice League movies.

-Another comic book project being eyed up by Marvel is a CGI animated version of Avengers after seeing the success of Beowulf.

The Avengers, like the Justice League, are a superhero team that Captain America, Thor, Iron Man and the Hulk.

Terminator-Terminator looks set to return to the big screen by 2009 Warner Bros have announced that Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins will be in cinemas in just over twelve months on May 22.

The film, which stars Christian Bale, is expected to begin shooting on May 5, after the actor wraps on Michael Mann’s Public Enemies with Johnny Depp.

The plot of the latest movie in the Terminator franchise is being kept a closely guarded secret but is rumoured to part of a three picture arc.

-Director David Gordon Green has announced that he will be remaking Dario Argento’s cult horror film Suspiria.

The original film which centres on a ballet academy where a young student realises that the teacher are witches is a dramatic change for the director who brought us Snow Angels and George Washington.
