How Do You Know trailer

'How Do You Know' Theatrical Trailer @ Yahoo! Video

The trailer did nothing for me. James L. Brooks can be hit ( Terms Of Endearment ) or miss ( Spanglish ) and I don't see anything that popped out at me to think this is anythinbg special but just another romantic comedy. I do hope they gave something for Jack to do instead of standing around sleepwalking his character.
The film is out December 17th.

Jim Sheridan's next film: Dream House

From the man who gave you My Left Foot, In The Name Of The Father and most recently Brothers, Irish director Jim Sheridan's next film will be a supernatural thriller titled Dream House, starring Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Morton Csokas, Elias Koteas, Jane Alexander and Mark Wilson.
This is new genre territory for Sheridan, much like it is for Clint Eastwood's supernatural thriller is for him with his next movie coming out this year called Hereafter. Both directors haven't delved into the supernatural until now.
The premise of Dream House, is about a very happily married couple, Will Attenton ( Craig ) and his wife Libby ( Weisz ) find their ultimate dream home in the nice community of Morgan Creek. But everything is not what it appears to be, when the couple find they are haunted by the former inhabitants who were murdered in that same home.
Filming commenced between February and April of this year in Ontario, Canada. Five time Oscar nominee Caleb Deschanel ( The Passion Of The Christ, The Natural ) provided the cinematography. Dream House will be released on Febraury 18th of next year.

Tobey Maguire and Gary Ross to re-team for The Crusaders

Based from the book by Jack Greenberg that has now been adapted by Danny Strong ( Recount ) about a young lawyer, Jack Greenberg, who becomes the only white member of the NAACP legal defense fund, and work side by side with future Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall to help outlaw segregation. Thurgood has not been cast yet. Expect a 2011 release date.

Best Supporting Actor race:one the best in years

This years best supporting actor race is looking to be the best, and possibly the most competitive in years. On paper it's looking like one of the strongest categories of the upcoming the Academy Awards. I will list the names of who have good chances at nominations and the reason why behind those analogies.

Christian Bale- The Fighter- Gets to play against type ( an ex junkie ) he's pretty due and add that he lost a ton of weight for the role. He has very good chance at an Oscar nomination.

Sam Rockwell- Conviction- Great character actor that can play and do any genre. He's also due. Never has been nominated and he'll get to tug on some heart strings with this role as the unfairly convicted brother of Betty Anne Waters.

Mark Ruffalo- Not a favorite of mine but he's possibly the best thing in The Kids Are Alright. He also has never been nominated for an Oscar and he's been in the game awhile now.

Dustin Hoffman- Barney's Version- He'll play Paul Gimatti's father, who, if it's anything like the book, gets to steal it every time his character shows up.

Geoffrey Rush- The King's Speech- Already an Oscar winner, and multiple nominee, He'll play the secondary character to Colin Firth's King George VI as Lionel Logue, the King's speech therapist hired on to help King George's stutter.

Ed Harris- The Way Back- Multiple Oscar nominee, gets to play key secondary character of true life Gulag survivors. Well known, solid actor the Academy voters are very aware of.

Vincent Cassell- Black Swan- Very versatile French actor that isn't a house hold name quite or well known yet, but very solid actor with a wide range.

Bill Murray- Get Low- Said to be one of the best parts of the film, and also an Oscar nominee. His odds are pretty good at this point.

Guy Pearce- Animal Kingdom- Another fine actor who is just solid in every film he has been in. He has never been nominated either. He is most likely an outsider looking in at this point but he is good in his support role in the film.

John Malkovich- Secretariat- Plays the famous horse trainer Lucien Laurin. He is also a previous Oscar nominee, highly regarded by his peers. If the film does well he has a chance to sneak in there.

So what's this Red Riding Hood movie all about ?

Well first off, it's directed by Catherine Hardwicke ( Thirteen, Lords Of Dogtown ) from a screenplay written by David Johnson ( The Orphan ) and starring Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Virginia Madsen, Shiloh Fernandez and Lukas Haas.

Hardwicke is taking the fabled story into a more dark and gothic interpretation, about a girl named Valerie ( Seyfried ) in a medieval village being terrorized by a werewolf, as well as a side story of her taking a fancy with the village woodcutter ( Fernandez ), much to her family's displeasure. Oldman with play Witchfinder General, Father Soloman, the man responsible to take down the werewolf.
Shooting has already began in Vancouver, B.C. with a March 11, 2011 release date
