Self described “little action whore” Zoe Saldana is set to kick drug lord ass in producer/writer Luc Besson’s (The Fifth Element) new revenge-thriller Colombiana. The first images of Saldana as Colombian assassin Cataleya Restrepo hit the web today and have been posted here for your viewing pleasure.
The film’s official synopsis reads:
At age 10, Cataleya Restrepo (Saldana) witnesses the brutal murder of her parents by a Colombian drug lord Don Luis. Cataleya manages to escape the bullets of the assassin and reach Chicago, where her gangster uncle, Emilio, lives.
Emilio is doing his best to keep Cataleya out of the criminal life, but she is determined to become a professional killer. At 25, Cataleya has become a real killer operating on behalf of her uncle, but her sole desire is to find Don Luis and avenge the death of her parents.
OK, so that doesn’t sound like the kind of movie Clatto normally covers. But, that’s what happens when you write a blog with your penis like I do. Besides, variety is the spice of life, right? Maybe, the flick will have a grindhousey slant like Robert Rodriguez’s Machete or Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill. Guess we’ll have to wait and masturbate to Zoe’s pics see.
Directed by Olivier Megaton (Transporter), Colombiana costars Michael Vartan (“Alias”), Lennie James (“The Walking Dead”), Callum Blue (“Dead Like Me”), and Cynthia Addai-Robinson (“Flashforward”). It arrives in theaters on Sept. 2, 2011.
Last year, Saldana starred as Lieutenant Nyota Uhurain in J.J. Abrams’ successful Star Trek reboot and as Na’vi babe Neytiri in James Cameron’s epic cinematic gamechanger Avatar. The Dominican beauty will reprise both roles in the films’ respective sequels.

The first official teaser for Iron Man director Jon Favreau’s adaptation of Scott Mitchell Rosenberg’s graphic novel Cowboys & Aliens rode into town this morning. Set in the mid 19th century, the sci-fi actioner follows gunslinger Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig), Ella Verity (Olivia Wilde), and Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford) as they set out to stop an alien race from enslaving humankind.
Peep the trailer:
The film’s official synopsis reads:
1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger (Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don’t welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford). It’s a town that lives in fear.
But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by marauders from the sky. Screaming down with breathtaking velocity and blinding lights to abduct the helpless one by one, these monsters challenge everything the residents have ever known.
Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation. As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he’s been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force. With the help of the elusive traveler Ella (Olivia Wilde), he pulls together a posse comprised of former opponents—townsfolk, Dolarhyde and his boys, outlaws and Apache warriors—all in danger of annihilation. United against a common enemy, they will prepare for an epic showdown for survival.
Cowboys & Aliens costars Sam Rockwell (Iron Man 2), Walton Goggins (Predators), Clancy Brown (“LOST”), Abigail Spencer (Haunting in Georgia), Keith Carradine (“Dexter”), Paul Dano (Taking Lives), Ana de la Reguera (Nacho Libre), and Adam Beach (Flags of Our Fathers).
The film’s script was written by “LOST” co-creator Damon Lindelof with go-to collaborators Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard and Brian Grazer serve as producers.
Cowboys and Indians will be in theaters on July 29, 2011.
Warner Bros. has unleashed the first official trailer for its much buzzed about superhero actioner The Green Lantern. Despite being slated for a June 17, 2011 release, the studio has already begun its campaign to lure people with vaginas into the theater.
Judging from the trailer, the strategy seems to focus on showing footage of headliner Ryan Reynold’s baring his chest and smuggling plums in his tighty-whiteys.
Here ya go:
Directed by Martin Campbell (No Escape), The Green Lantern costars Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Tim Robbins, Mark Strong, Temuera Morrison, Jenna Craig, Jon Tenney, Taika Cohen, Jeff Wolfe, and Angela Bassett.

A trailer for Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke’s upcoming werewolf-thriller Red Riding Hood has hit the web. The film is a romantic re-imaging of the Brothers Grimm’s classic fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” and stars Amanda Seyfried in the titular role.
Peep the trailer:
Red Riding Hood (formerly entitled The Girl with the Red Riding Hood) is written by Orphan scribe David Leslie Johnson. Costars include Lukas Haas, Billy Burke, Shiloh Fernandez, Julie Christie, Virginia Madsen and Gary Oldman.
The film is produced by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way for Warner Bros and is slated for a March 11, 2011 release.
Seyfried is currently filming director Andrew Niccol’s (Gattaca) upcoming sci-fi actioner Now (previously entitled I’m.mortal) opposite Justin Timberlake and Olivia Wilde. She plays an abducted prostitute.
MTV’s neutering of the 1985 MGM horror-comedy Teen Wolf has now gotten a trailer. Despite sharing a title, the network’s re-imaging of the Michael J. Fox film appears to be a completely different beast. For starters, actor Tyler Posey’s teen wolf clearly manscapes … his entire body. Yes, the werewolf is fucking hairless. And, he plays lacrosse instead of basketball!
Hmm. Me thinks producers have been consulting with 11-year-old girls such as this.
MTV’s Teen Wolf stars Posey as Scott McCall, a high-school outcast who gains powers and popularity after being bitten by a wolf. Costars include Skyline’sCrystal Reed as the love interest, Dylan O’Brien as the best friend, and Tyler Hoechlin as the series’ villain.
Teri Hatcher’s guest appearance as Lois Lane’s mother on this week’s episode of The CW’s “Smallville” garnered the series a 2.9 rating (1.3 among the coveted 18-to-49 demo), making it the highest rated episode so far in its 10th and final season.
Entitled “Abandoned,” Friday night’s episode featured Hatcher as the late Ella Lane addressing her daughter Lois (Erica Durance) for the last time via video tape.
It went like this:
Hatcher, of course, played Lois Lane on the 1993 ABC series “Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.” Her hair style on that show looked exactly the same as it did on Friday night’s episode. Coincidence?
Hatcher currently stars as milfy ditz Suzanne Mayer on ABC’s long-running hit series “Desperate Housewives.”
Sony Pictures has released the first teaser trailer for director Jonathan Liebesman’s alien-invasion feature Battle: Los Angeles, due in theaters on March 11, 2011. The film stars Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight), Michelle Rodriguez (Machete), Michael Pena (Love Object), Jim Parrack (“True Blood”), Noel Fisher (Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn), sexy newcomer Taryn Southern, and R&B pop artist Ne-Yo.
Described as Independence Day meets Black Hawk Down, the film takes its name from a supposed massive UFO sighting in Santa Monica, California said to have taken place on Feb. 25, 1942, just weeks after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. According to UFO enthusiasts, the alien ship was attacked by the U.S. military under the belief that it was Japanese aircraft (read more about it here).
