Watchmen

This Japanese trailer contains quite a bit of new footage.

The Expendables

Mickey Rourke has signed on as the latest member of Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables. 

Rourke will join Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Forest Whitaker and Ben Kingsley in a story about an “expendable” team, hired to do jobs that no one else can or will.  Sounds like as cross between the Dirty Dozen and the A Team.

The team is sent to infiltrate a South American country to overthrow the ruthless dictator and liberate the country and is set to begin filming in Brazil and Louisiana in March.

Last House on The Left

As the original finally gets an uncut release in the UK, Apple have the trailer for the forthcoming remake of Wes Craven's 1974 horror film.  The film looks reasonably close to the original (with one major exception), and the trailer pretty much gives away the entire plot, so those who don't want their viewing spoiled should exercise caution before clicking on the play button.

Watchmen

Fox and Warner may be getting closer to settling the legal dispute which threatened to delay the March release of Zack Snyder's superhero movie.

A court had previously ruled that Fox owned distribution rights to the movie as a result of a previous development deal.  Now  Variety report that -

"Attorneys for the studios agreed Friday to delay a federal court hearing until Monday in order to continue settlement talks.

The hearing had been set to take place Friday before the US District Court to rule on Warner's request for an expedited hearing on the key issue -- whether to grant Fox's demand to block Warner's plans to release "Watchmen" on March 6."
