Direct Download Links For New Sleuth Trailer

The second Sleuth trailer is a lot cheekier, and in some ways much more revealing than the first, and as such, I enjoyed it even more.

Download in a small, medium or large size.

Direct Download Link For Sleuth Trailer

Download the trailer for the new Sleuth. It's a remake. It has Jude Law in it. It really shouldn't be any good at all.

But I bet it is. The idea of Pinter rewriting Shaffer virtually makes me drool.

Stills From Sleuth

I'm looking forward to the new Sleuth greatly, despite Jude's hilarious hair. Here's the latest wave of publicity images (only one of which I'd seen before at all), thanks to Mike Nezhdany.

Once again, I've left all of the info in place - I mean, why remove it?

Movie Minesweeper - The Too Early Edition

- Aint it Cool have some new Transformers posters. They are, essentially, close ups of robot faces.

- A basic outline of the next Hulk film has appeared online.

- Alex Cox has written a piece for The Guardian about film stars turned directors. He doesn't think this can lead to success - and, of course, he doesn't mention Robert Redford anywhere in the piece. Quiz Show alone is living proof that Cox's argument won't stand. He also tears into One Eyed Jacks which is, in fact, really very good indeed. Even Ken Branagh has proven himself to be Cox's equal, if not superior, as a director. And don't get me started on Alex Cox's attempts to act...

- America Olivo is to appear in Iron Man as 'Dubai Beauty' - she says so on her official site. But... who is America Olivo anyway?

- Peter Jackson does a good job of making Halo sound dead but The Dambusters sound great in a new interview.

- Dana Gould's The Last Larry sounds a wee bit like Shaun of the Dead: the Series. More promisingly, he's writing Alternadad about a father trying to stay hip and cool in the eyes of his kids.

- New EU rules might curb the import of some American shows because they're simply too laden with product placement.

- Scorsese seems to be gearing up to shoot Silence in Japan.

- Stephen Susco has found a 'awesome' spoof of The Grudge, perhaps two and a half months too late.

- Two clips from Hostel 2 are up on the MTV Movies Blog, so if you're in the US, you can watch them... me... I just have to imagine. [EDIT: BllodyDisgusting have seven clips, and I can see those ones. Do they include the two MTV snippets?]

- Also at MTV, Daniel Wilson discusses Bro-jitsu.

- Joe Kosinski looks set to direct Logans Run. Bryan Singer has better things to do now, I suppose, than argue with Joel Silver. Previously, Kosinski has directed cut-scenes for video games, including Gears of War. I've seen those ones and... well, I'm not excited about this decision, I can tell you. But then, see... with Joel Silver calling the shots, what was I to expect?

- TVSquad have plenty of info on Heroes season 2. You might even call these bits and pieces spoilers, if you're delicate about that kind of thing.

- The lastest Sound of Young America is an interview with Marty Kroft. It's confirmed that Land of the Lost doesn't yet have a director attached, though Will Ferrel has definitely been cast.

Elsinore In Woodstock

Kenneth Branagh's film of Hamlet - still the only movie to present the full text - has been officially announced for R1 DVD release in August. The film will be spread across two discs, it appears, with a commentary from Branagh and Russell Jackson, onetime director of The Shakespeare Institute. Branagh has also recorded an introduction, and there's a couple of featurettes: the '96 Cannes promo and To Be on Camera: A History With Hamlet.

The film was shot at Blenheim Palace, just up the road here, and that's part of what I enjoy about it. Nice to think I can go have a picnic at Elsinore.

Direct Download Link For As You Like It Trailer

The trailer for Ken Brannagh's As You Like It is now online - and the cast is delicious: Bryce Dallas Howard, Janet McTeer, Alfred Molina, Adrian Lester, Kevin Kline.

HBO and the BBC funded this one, a more immediately commercial prospect than Ken's in-waiting
Magic Flute.

Watching
Dead Again the other evening, I was impressed, as I always am, how much Branagh enjoys film and filmmaking. He's a pastiche artist - witness the overhead shot in the As You Like It trailer for the most recent evidence - but he's not a bad director in his own right. A lavish Hamlet DVD, with a rich, liquidy transfer, would be a thing of beauty.
