The Incredible Hulk - Poster, Trailer

Back in 2003, director Ang Lee brought the Hulk to the big screen. I liked the movie, save for the odd ending. It was a well made science fiction film that was poorly marketed as an action film. It has not fared well in the fans' eyes, and now Marvel is looking to rectify that with The Incredible Hulk. It is not a sequel or a remake, it is just a different film about the Hulk character. I like what I have seen so far and hope that it does pay off. The trailer has been out for awhile, and we get a good look at the Hulk, this time played by Edward Norton, and his opposition, The Abomination, played by Tim Roth. The poster has a nice feel to it, evoking memories of Bill Bixby's televised take on Banner. Also among the cast are Liv Tyler and William Hurt. Robert Downey Jr. is also listed, playing Tony Stark; this will be a cool tie-in with Iron Man if it happens. Louis Leterrier (Transporter 1 + 2, Unleasehed) is at the helm.

G.I. Joe - Still

It was just a few weeks ago that the first still of Snake Eyes was released; now we have another one to share. This time around it is the Joes top female, Scarlett. In the film she will be portrayed by Rachel Nichols, who gave the best performance while wearing a white dress in P2. She will also be seen in the next Star Trek film, slated for a May '09 release. Anyway, on to the picture. It looks good; Nichols looks the part here, but as cool as the outfit looks, it is a little too similar to Snake Eyes. It is appearing that everyone will be in nearly matching black outfits. Still, she looks great. Check out JoBlo.com for a bigger version.

Speed Racer: The Next Generation - The Beginning - Trailer

Speed Racer made an impression many years ago; his legend lives on and is ramping up to make an impact on the live action scene with a new movie starring Emile Hirsch in the iconic role. As big a splash as that film is expected to have, it is not the only place where Speed will have an impact. There is a new animated film arriving on DVD on May 5, 2008, coinciding with the release of said live action film. Speed Racer: The Next Generation - The Beginning tells the story of Speed's orphaned son and his efforts to uncover clues regarding his father's disappearance. The film will also launch a series that is set to air on Nicktoons. Here is the trailer for the 90 minute feature:

Kind of curious about Repo! The Genetic Opera. Sarah Brightman's in it, as it Paris Hilton. Weird, wild stuff.

I am definitely curious too, but I cannot seeing it being a hit.

I don't think it's supposed to be. It'll be a cult hit in 'bout five years, though.
