16 hours ago | movies.about.com | See recent movies.about.com news »

It's a slow week for casting news and there are no new films opening in wide release this Friday, but that doesn't mean there's nothing worth reporting on. With 2010 just days away (seriously, where did 2009 go?), studios are starting to release details on their upcoming movies and it's looking like 2010 could be a pretty incredible year at the box office. I'll have the breakdown on 2010's big comedy and action films soon, but in the meantime here's a batch of new photos from some of the movies hitting theaters in the next 12 months:

Cemetery Junction Photos - Ralph Fiennes/Ricky Gervais

Clash of the Titans Photos - Sam Worthington/Gemma Arterton

Cool: Some Fun Geek Marketing With A Clever American Psycho Billboard Ad

29 December 2009 9:44 AM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »

I saw this on Cinematical and had to post it as out Cool post because its the perfect little piece of fanboy marketing that makes me smile.

In New Zealand there is a billboard marketing their TV2 airing of Mary Harron’s film, American Psycho. The picture below is advertising the Bret Easton Ellis adaptation starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman and Jared Leto, Josh Lucas, Justin Theroux, Bill Sage, Chloë Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Willem Dafoe, and Samantha Mathis. The billboard takes on the classic business card scene we all know and I love:

“The Perfect Billboard. Eggshell white with romalian type. Nice. Raised lettering, a subtle 7 inch bone border, and just look at the tasteful thickness of the headline. All perched on four evenly spaced 3.2 metre powder coated stanchions. My god, it even has a watermark.”

Nothing better than some yuppy dudes comparing business card quality and style. American Psycho »

"Daybreakers" unleashes the monster in new clip. When a mysterious plague has swept over the earth in year 2019, majority of world's population have turned into vampires. These blood-sucking creatures are hunting the humans which are now endangered species.

Humans are forced into hiding as they are hunted and farmed for vampire consumption to the brink of extinction. It's all up to Edward Dalton, a vampire researcher who refuses to feed on human blood, to perfect a blood substitute that might sustain vampires and spare the few remaining humans.

But time and hope are running out - until Ed meets Audrey, a human survivor who leads him to a startling medical breakthrough. Armed with knowledge that both humans and vampires will kill for, Ed must battle his own kind in a deadly struggle that will decide the fate of the human race.

New Zealand Billboard for American Psycho

28 December 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

While the TV airing of a 10 year old film isn't exactly "news", this promotional advertisement for an upcoming TV airing of Mary Harron's American Psycho on New Zealand station TV2 was too cool not to share with our devoted readers and fellow horror enthusiasts. The Hollywood Reporter Live Feed Blog pointed out the billboard that was erected to showcase the classic business card scene. Granted, if you've never seen the movie, the billboard will probably make no sense. However, if you have, it's a pretty cool and unique way to promote the movie's TV airing. Based on the Bret Easton Ellis novel, American Psycho stars Christian Bale, Justin Theroux, Josh Lucas, Chloë Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon, Samantha Mathis, Jared Leto and Willem Dafoe.

3 New Daybreakers Clips

23 December 2009 6:49 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Just a few days after an awesome (and pretty bloody) clip appeared online from the upcoming modern-day vampire flick, Daybreakers, we have three more clips from the movie to quench your thirst (see what I did there?).

Daybreakers stars Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill. It’s set in a world in the year 2019 where vampires are the majority and the remaining humans are hunted and farmed for their blood. The trouble is, the human population (and thus the blood) is dwindling fast, forcing the vampire species to work on a way to ensure their survival. At the same time, a vampire scientist (Hawke) works alongside the few remaining humans to try and save them from extinction.

 

Much like the last clip we posted, at least one of these new clips is pretty full-on in terms of being bloody (not overly disgusting, however) so needless to say they’re Nsfw. »

3 Movie Clips from Daybreakers

22 December 2009 9:23 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Lionsgate has released three clips from their upcoming vampire movie Daybreakers that stars Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill.  If you’re the type that’s sick of all the friendly vampires in Twilight and you’re craving some real killers, Daybreakers is for you.

And even if you’re not into vampire movies, I think the premise of Daybreakers is quite cool: it’s the year 2019 and vampires are now the dominant species on the planet with the remaining humans being farmed for blood.  But with the remaining blood supply dwindling, a vampire scientist (Ethan Hawke) finds himself siding with the human resistance.  The film is directed by Michael and Peter Spierig.

So if you’re curious…hit the jump to check the clips out.  Daybreakers hits theaters on January 8, 2010.

For more on Daybreakers, here’s my video blog about the film with Peter from Slashfilm.  And here’s a trailer. »

Will the vampires in the upcoming sci-fi/horror flick Daybreakers provide a savage antidote to some of the rather pathetic twinkling bloodsuckers we've seen lately? That seems to be the case, looking at some new clips from the latest by the Spierig Brothers (Undead). The movie is set in a future where the vampires "win" a fight to be the top of the food chain, with Ethan Hawke as a scientist seeking to save humanity, Willem Dafoe as part of the crossbow-wielding underground, and »
