Entirely Random and Unimportant Razzie Predictions

Because I'm bored and I like torturing myself by wading through the murky depths of filth. But, I didn't even look into the movies still to be released, these are just from the movies already released in 2007! Scary though, huh? We'd barely be able to get a passable Oscar lineup by this time, but the Razzies have enough for two ceremonies!

There. That was fun! :/

Zombies! Kidman! Craig!

[Click to make it grow, source]

I can't tell whether the bloody streaked zombies make this poster entirely awesome, or if the weirdly silly photoshopping on Nicole and Daniel make this poster entirely shit.

I'm leaning more towards positive, but something just seems... off. Especially with the image of Nicole. Does anybody else feel that? I dunno. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe with a different movie still it wouldn't look so... awkard? Hmmm. I'm going to need to ponder this one a bit more.

Scary Trailers

Two movie trailers for you guys to devour, courtesy of the ace Movie Marketing Madness blog.

First we have the trailer for the upcoming Oliver Hirschbiegel's The Invasion starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. Word has it that the movie is terrible and the trailer doesn't have a "this is bad" vibe about it, but sci-fi/horror can always turn out to be debacles. It's usually amplified when they bring in other people to redirect endings and rewrite beginnings (which, I believe, happened to this movie. There are a few moments in the trailer I quite like. There's the bit with the people jumping off the building - kind of creepy. You can see the moment when Nicole got into her on-set accident and I also like the very very end. I always like a good doppelganger, don't you?!



Next we have the trailer for the upcoming vampire movie 30 Days of Night. The plot descriptions sounds exactly like the quite awesome Pitch Black (back when nobody had heard of Vin Diesel and he hadn't had the chance to become a star and then to almost disappear entirely up Hollywood's arse) - A place that's constantly light (Alaska in 30 and a planet with multiple suns in Pitch) placed into darkness (Alaska is like that in general, and in Pitch it was due to a total eclipse), which results in monsters coming out from hiding (vampires and flying creatures respectively). It surprises me more movies don't make use of Alaska's sporadic daylight, but it's a fabulous premise for a scary flick. The only worry is Ben Foster who I can't stand at all. And I'm not the biggest Josh Hartnett fan either, but I can live with him. But, ugh. Ben Foster. And he's A-C-T-I-N-G like always. I do like Melissa George though. Anyway, the movie looks kind of awesome enough for me to get past him and to plant down my $11 for a ticket.



One common link between them (other than they're "scary movies") is that they both seem to use a piece of music (not the same one, mind you) that sounds like it belongs on a Snow Patrol album more than on the trailer for a horror movie. Or is that just me?

Invasion Teaser

Here comes the official teaser, and first of any kind, poster for the new Nicole Kidman-Daniel Craig sci-fi flick The Invasion (courtesy of Coming Soon. Ja just posted some new pics of the film as well and it looks smashing, Nicole looking swell, and possibly scary. The major worry though is that director Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall) was taken off the film when it went into reshoots earlier this year (when Nicole had her accident) and was replaced by, ugh, James McTeigue (V For Vendetta) who filmed reworked scenes by the Wachowski Brothers (y'all know them). I almost don't want to know why they thought they would be good people to rope in, but anyway...

Get Well Soon, Nicole!

Okay, so I know a stunt man broke his arm and leg (or whatever), but NICOLE!!!!! On the set of her 2007 film The Invasion was involved in a car crash when the stunt truck that her car was on, during a scene involving her trying to get through an attack by mutant killer zombies, crashed into a pole. There's video of it over here at TMZ. She was takent to hospital but released soon after suffering only shock. In the video she does look a bit dazed and confused.

Anyway, she went back to work, so all is well. But, still... my Nicole!

BTW, how funny is it that Nicole and Daniel Craig are together in two 2007 films (The Invasion and The Golden Compass) and in The Invasion Craig plays a doctor (or so the picture at the top would suggest). And earlier in filming of The Invasion Nicole and Daniel were involved in another car-related incident when Nic forgot to put the car into park and it started to role backwards or something. It's on the trivia page at IMDb.
