‘The Words’ Second Trailer Increases the Intrigue
The more trailers and/or clips released promoting The Words, the more interesting this romantic drama becomes. CBS Films’ latest trailer for The Words features Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Irons, and Zoe Saldana and does a great job of selling the film without giving every little detail away.
Coming to theaters on September 7, 2012, The Words also stars Ben Barnes, Dennis Quaid, and Olivia Wilde (most recently seen in People Like Us).
The Plot:
The Words follows young writer Rory Jansen who finally achieves long-sought-after literary success after publishing the next great American novel. There’s only one catch – he didn’t write it. As the past comes back to haunt him and his literary star continues to rise, Jansen is forced to confront the steep price that must be paid for stealing another man’s work, and for placing ambition and success above life’s most fundamental three words.
Two New Clips Arrive from The Odd Life of Timothy Green

Disney’s just put out two new clips from the PG rated film. Enjoy!
Film Clip – “Dream Kid”

The Odd Life of Timothy Green is the inspiring, magical story of a happily married couple, Cindy and Jim Green (Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton), who can’t wait to start a family but can only dream about what their child would be like. When young Timothy (CJ Adams) shows up on their doorstep one stormy night, Cindy and Jim—and their small town of Stanleyville—learn that sometimes the unexpected can bring some of life’s greatest gifts.

New Photo Debuts from Seven Psychopaths
I’ve got to say I’m really interested in Seven Psychopaths. One, because it’s from writer/director Martin McDonagh who was behind one of the best/most overlooked movies of 2008: In Bruges. Two, because it reunites the In Bruges team of McDonagh and Colin Farrell. And three, because the supporting players are Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell, and Woody Harrelson. Walken, Rockwell, Harrelson, and Farrell? Yes, I’d pay to see that.
In support of the film’s upcoming world festival premiere during the Toronto Film Festival Midnight Madness, CBS Films has unleashed a new still:
The Plot:
Seven Psychopaths follows a struggling screenwriter (Colin Farrell) who inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after his oddball friends (Christopher Walken and Sam Rockwell) kidnap a gangster’s (Woody Harrelson) beloved Shih Tzu.

Jessica Biel Talks About ‘Total Recall’
Jessica Biel shows off her action skills in the 2012 version of Total Recall hitting theaters on August 3, 2012. And in support of the film’s release, Sony Pictures has provided this interview with Biel in which she talks about working with Colin Farrell, her character’s relationship to Farrell’s, doing her own stunts, and the biggest challenge of working on Total Recall.
Biel also discusses her fight scene with Kate Beckinsale and why women should see this sci-fi action film.
The Plot:
Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Beckinsale) who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man.
Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Cranston), the leader of the free world – Quaid teams up with a rebel fighter (Biel) to find the head of the underground resistance (Nighy) and stop Cohaagen. The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate.
ABC Cancels Trust Us With Your Life
Even without Willard’s arrest the series likely wouldn’t have been able to stick around for much longer. The long ratings doomed the series, with ABC opting to show reruns of Wipeout rather than the final two original episodes of the show.
Just one day after Willard’s arrest, PBS announced they were dropping the 72 year old actor as the narrator of their new show, Market Warriors. Mark Walberg (no, not Mark Wahlberg), the host of Antiques Roadshow, will be taking over for Willard on Market Warriors.
