Le Wolfman: A Look at French Poster & Trailer for ‘The Wolfman’

Universal Pictures Wolfman sure gets around. The poster you see here was revealed in France today, which explains why its focus is on the lycan’s flair for fashion accessories. Pretty fancy cane. I like it. I also like the following French trailer for the film (watch closely as it includes new scenes).


Directed by Joe Johnston, The Wolfman stars Benicio Del Toro, Emily Blunt, Hugo Weaving, and Anthony Hopkins. To see U.S. poster art, click here.

The Wolfman arrives in theaters on Feb. 12, 2010.

Olivia Wilde Is User-Friendly in ‘Tron Legacy’

Tron Legacy, the sequel to Disney’s 1982 innovative sci-fi actioner Tron, races into theaters and IMAX screens in 3-D on Dec. 17. The Mouse House premiered the Tron Legacy trailer at this year Comic-Con geek-fest and nearly slayed more virgin boys than the entire Mayan civilization. Gotta admit–it looks pretty bad ass.

Check it out:

Jeff Bridges (Iron Man) reprises his role as ENCOM software engineer Kevin Flynn. Tron Legacy finds Flynn still trapped inside the Tron mainframe. His only hope for escape is his son Sam, played by Garrett Hedlund (Death Sentence, Eragon). Also along for the ride is brunette stunner Olivia Wilde (Turistas) who stars as a confidant (perhaps love interest) to Kevin Flynn. Wilde, who was born two years after Tron’s original theatrical release, is reportedly a big fan of the film and was honored to partake in the sequel.

In an interview with Moviefone.com, Olivia Wilde said:

There’s such a cone of silence around ‘Tron,’ but it’ll be fun to watch. That was also an amazing honor, to be able to carry on a legacy like ‘Tron.’. I don’t think diehard fans will be disappointed. I think they will be very happy with what we did. There’s a real story. It’s going to look cool, but that’s not all.”

Light cycles, disc wars, and Olivia Wilde in some form-fitting outfit? Game on!

Lock the Doors & Stay Inside: Valve’s ‘Left 4 Dead 2′ Streets Today!

left-4-dead-2-logo-wallpaper

Left 4 Dead 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning, multi-player shooter from Valve Corporation, burst onto store shelves this morning. Technically superior to the first and loaded with much more hair-pulling intensity, Left 4 Dead 2 unleashes new, faster (Chargers) and frighteningly agile (Jockeys) zombies on unsuspecting gamers. Fortunately, there are plenty of new weapons to be used, including a frying pan (proving that the secrets to life can all be found in episodes of Looney Tunes).

Online gamers eager to get at each other’s throats should immediately jump into “Scavenge” mode, where they can play as either survivors in search of fuel or as “the infected” out for blood.

If Left 4 Dead 2 sounds just too nerve-racking, gamers can take a step back–way back–to an 8-Bit Nintendo version of Valve’s original Left 4 Dead courtesy of PixelForce. The game will be available as a free PC download on Jan. 4, 2010.  For a rib-tickling preview, check out the trailer:
