So I posted about James Franco a little while ago in the weekly news, you've probably heard of him he has been in some pretty good big budget movies Spiderman, The Green Hornet and 127 Hours to name but a few.
Franco is of course going to be hosting the Oscar's, and is making a pretty big name for himself of late, being well on the way to being a big Hollywood leading man.
Franco's latest project sees him in Rise Of The Apes which will be released in the UK 25th November 2011. The movie is set in San Francisco and center's around a guy conducting genetic engineering leading to the intelligence of Apes, causing a war for supremacy.
The movie looks quite promising and and should be worth a watch for Franco in the leading role. Franco is not leaving it there and also has great movies on the way like The Broken Tower and OZ: The Great And Powerful.
Franco has got a busy year ahead and I'm sure the offers for big budget box office movies will continue to pour in next year
Ok so you may have read my previous post in relation to this subject, problem is I seem to have missed out a few movies which I think will be worth a watch.
The Green Hornet
Who is in it
Seth Rogen, Jay Chou, Christopher Waltz, Cameron Diaz and someone I have not seen in a movie for years Edward Furlong who played John Connor in Terminator 2 and Danny Vinyard in American History X.
What's it about
It's all in the title here really, the movie is based on the original Green Hornet TV show starring Bruce Lee. It the new movie Rogan plays Britt Reid who takes over from his father running the business, Reid's life changes completely when he and his driver Kato (Jay Chou) stop a robbery. They then become a crime fighting superhero masked duo The Green Hornet and Kato.
This movie has to be worth a watch, as anything with Seth Rogan in seems to turn to gold at the moment, Jay Chou is also a martial arts expert meaning the action and stunts should be amazing. The movie has also had an impressive weekend opening in the UK taking 1.88m and grossing 40m already.
The Dilemma
Who is in it
Vince Vaughan, Kevin James, Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder
What's it about
Ronny (Vaughan) and Nick (James) work in partnership following being best friends through college. The guys are looking to build up there company by landing a big project fully supported by both their partners. The plot thickens though when Ronny catches Nick's wife out with another man, he decides to make it his mission to get to the truth finding out a little more then he would like along the way.
Anything starring Vince Vaughan is worth a watch and is bound to provide laughs, add Kevin James (King Of Queens) to the mix should make it hilarious. The movie has done quite well up to now grossing 20m at the box office. It is due for release in England on 21st January 2011 and is sure to have a busy opening weekend. Not so sure I will be going to the cinema for this one though, may just wait for the DVD.
The Mechanic
Who is in it
Jason Statham, Ben Foster, Tony Goldwyn and Donald Sutherland
What's it About
Jason Statham is Arthur Bishop, he is the Mechanic (not in the automobile trade). Bishop is a elite assassin and the best in the world at what he does. Bishop is thrown into a personal revenge mission when his good friend and mentor Harry (Donald Sutherland) is killed. The mission is complicated further by Harry son Steve (Ben Foster) who also wants revenge. Bishop is used to working alone but can not leave Steve out, as the mission intensifies it becomes a case of who can you trust.
If the trailers for this movie are anything to go by it looks awesome, typical Jason Statham full of hard hitting and fast paced action, the story does appear similar to Statham last hitman character The Transporter but I think this will still be worth the money, walking from the cinema with you shoulders back and chest sticking out. The Mechanic is due to be released in England on 28th January 2011.
