Terminator Salvation Posters

"Terminator Salvation" hits theaters May 21st but today I have two new posters for you to feast your eyes on. The first poster is a quad poster which features both Christian Bale and Sam Worthington with a T-600 in between them. The second poster is a solo shot of the T-600. The posters are outstanding and definately continue the gritty look to McG's Terminator film. Checkout out the quad poster in the header and the T-600 poster below....

Musical is Back: Damn Yankees

As Hugh Jackman proclaimed at this year's Oscars, "The musical is back," and in that vein, New Line Cinema has announced they will be remaking the classic 1950's musical and film "Damn Yankees".

The musical will be contemporized and follows a middle-aged baseball fan who makes a pack with the devil in order to help the hapless baseball team beat the Yankees. The fan turned player can break the deal, however the deadline occurs during the World Series. In order to seal his fate, the devil enlists the help of a lost souls and seductress named Lola.

Variety is reporting that Jake Gyllenhaal will play Joe Boyd, who makes a faustian deal with the devil. The devil will be played by funny man, Jim Carrey. This will be the first musical for either actor and both parts feel like perfect fits for the two. Gyllenhaal will be perfect as the brooding fan who becomes the long ball hitter for his favorite baseball team. Jim Carrey is an interesting choice as the devil. Hopefully Carrey will not be too over-the-top here in "Damn Yankees," but I wouldn't hold my breath. No casting has been announced for the role of Lola as of yet...

Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel are set to write the script. New Line Cinema will once again go to Hairspray producer's Craig Zadan and Neil Meron to produce the film. Expect to see "Damn Yankees" in theaters sometime in 2010.

What say you? Fan of the musical? Have you seen the play or film in some form before? How will this musical hold up being updated to current times? The original musical the baseball team was the Washington Senators, who will the current version be? Strikeback...

Hurt Locker Release Date Set

"The Hurt Locker" for the last year and a half has been doing it's rounds on the film festival circuit, but Summit Entertainment has finally given the intense military film a solid release date. The film will explode into theaters June 26th 2009.

"The Hurt Locker" does not hold back in any way and is a brutal look into an elite Army Explosive Ordinance Disposal team in present-day Baghdad that fights an onslaught of bombs and snipers. The film is based on recent real events from declassified Army intelligence. I had the opportunity to see this film last year and absolutely loved it. The film is extremely intense throughout and is a gripping account of what our United States military have faced in Baghdad, furthermore the mindset these brave soldiers must mantian in order to survive on a daily basis.

The film stars Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty, Ralph Fiennes, Guy Pearce, David Morse, Christian Camargo and is directed by Kathryn Bigelow. Jeremy Renner won at this year's Independant Spirit Awards for Best Male Lead in "The Hurt Locker" as did Anthony Mackie for Best Supporting Male. The film has also won Camerimage and Venice Film Festivals in 2008. This is a film that all Americans should see.

What say you? Will you see "The Hurt Locker"? Are you ready to face what dangerous situations our U.S. soldiers are put in? Strikeback...
