1ST TRAILER FOR "TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY" WITH TOM HARDY, RALPH FIENNES, COLIN FIRTH & GARY OLDMAN! CHRIS HEMSWORTH IS "SHADOW HUNTER"! DIABLO CODY HELMS "LAMB OF GOD"!

Diablo Cody, whom some like as the writer of JUNO, and I like her for UNITED STATES OF TARA, will direct her first film. It will be LAMB OF GOD, a comedy about a young conservative religious
woman who loses her faith after a plane crash and decides to go to Las Vegas to live the life of a sinner. According to "Variety", the writer of HORRIBLE BOSSES is working on KING OF ELVES, an animated film about an average Mississippi man whose reluctant actions to help a desperate band of elves leads them to name him their new king. Hunky Chris Thor Hemsworth, who is quickly becoming a huge star in Hollywood will star in SHADOW HUNTER,  a new action thriller about an elite team of covert operatives who are great in finding ways to complete the most impossible missions.

Some great new images have just been released for what promises to be a barbaric visual feast when CONAN THE BARBARIAN comes out this August. Starring Jason Momoa, Ron Perlman, Rachel Nichols and Rose McGowan, the remake of the 80's
classic will begin with a personal vendetta of the fierce Cimmerian warrior which soon turns into an epic battle against hulking rivals, horrific monsters, and impossible odds, as Conan realizes he is the only hope of saving the great nations of Hyboria from an encroaching reign of supernatural evil.

You've probably seen by now, the first trailer released earlier today for British action TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY which
premieres this Autumn with the most amazing cast including Tom Hardy, Ralph Fiennes, Colin Firth, Gary Oldman, Benedict Cumberbatch (from BBC's SHERLOCK) and Ciaran Hinds (Caesar from ROME). This movie adaptation of  a popular cold war bestseller by famous John Le Carre is set in the aftermath of the cold war, and it tells the thrilling tale of a spy-hunt within the highest echelons of the British Secret Intelligence Service. Back in the 1970's there was a very popular TV show based on the same book which became a television classic in Great Britain.

1ST SPELLBINDING TRAILER FOR SPIELBERG'S "WAR HORSE"! DICAPRIO TO JOIN BEYONCE IN "A STAR IS BORN"? JOHN KRASINSKI IN "CHATEAU MARMONT" HBO SHOW! BEN BARNES IN "THE SEVENTH SON"

For reasons unknown, Sam Claflin has backed away from THE SEVENTH SON (I'm guessing he got some more lucrative offers after his success in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN),and he will
be replaced by Ben Barnes (THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, DORIAN GRAY) who will now join Julianne Moore and Jeff Bridges in this magical adventure about a young apprentice (Barnes) of a powerful exorcist and magician (Bridges) who must battle with evil witch (Moore). Now this is quite a strange pairing, but it seems that Clint Eastwood, who is planning a remake of musical film A STAR IS BORN in which Beyonce will play a singer, wants Leonardo DiCaprio as a movie star who helps the young singer to achieve fame. Russell Crowe, Jon Hamm, Gerard Butler and even Will Smith have been previously mentioned for the role. I think Hugh Jackman would fit this role best.
___________________________________________________
One of our dearest Hollywood faces John Krasinski (THE OFFICE) is preparing a show together with HBO. He came to and idea about a show which would be set in a hotel near his house. It happens to be CHATEAU MARMONT, one of Hollywood's oldest and most prestigious landmarks. The mini series will probably have eight episodes and will follow everything that was happening in the famous and glamorous hotel from its opening in the 1920's till today. Krasinki will both star and produce the show, while the script will be written by Aaron Sorkin who wrote THE SOCIAL NETWORK.

"XERXES" IS NOW "300: BATTLE OF ARTEMISIA"! GREAT POSTERS FOR "FRIGHT NIGHT" WITH COLIN FARRELL & TONI COLLETTE! NICOLE KIDMAN & MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY IN "THE PAPERBOY"! JEFF BRIDGES IN SF FILM "THE GIVER"

 According to "Deadline" a highly anticipated prequel to legendary epic 300 previously titled XERXES has changed its name into
300: BATTLE OF ARTEMISIA. Based on Frank Miller's graphic novel and shot in the same style as 300, the prequel will be set a decade before the original film following the events and battles which actually made Persian ruler Xerxes so powerful. Since Zack Snyder won't be able to take the helm being preoccupied with his MAN OF STEEL Superman film, Warner Bros. is deciding between Noam Murro and Jaume Collet Serra (ORPHAN, HOUSE OF VAX) for the new director. Strange choice I must admit.
___________________________________________________
It seems that the cast for THE PAPERBOY is getting stellar, after Nicole Kidman has joined Matthew McConaughey and Zac
Efron
. The film will follow two reporters who are investigating the story behind a Death Row prisoner. Nicole will play a mysterious lady who writes letters to Death Row inmates. I personally don't understand the sudden resurrection of Jeff Bridges in Hollywood, but he will star in sf film THE GIVER,  set in a utopian society where all the memories of human history have been erased with a young boy being assigned to be The Giver of his community, which means he has to bear all of his community's past experiences and emotions, in case a time comes when they will be of use.
___________________________________________________
Check out the first rather gory character posters from the remake of FRIGHT NIGHT which is coming out this September. With
quite a stellar cast the film follows a popular high school kid Charlie (Anthon Yelchin) whose troubles start when a new neighbor (Colin Farrell) moves in next door. He seems like a great guy at first, but there’s something not quite right, which everyone, including Charlie’s mom (Toni Collette), doesn’t notice. After observing some very strange activity, Charlie comes to an
unmistakable conclusion: the guy is a vampire preying on the neighborhood. Unable to convince anyone, Charlie has to find a way to get rid of the monster himself using the help of his girlfriend (Imogen Poots) and of a crazy magician (David Tennant).

Good things come to those who bait. 

Fisherman’s traditional bay, Yoff, Dakar, Senegal.



After two days of violent protests in Senegal, President Abdoulaye Wade backed away from his proposal for two major constitutional changes. 

The amendment, which he introduced this week, would have required a presidential candidate to obtain only 25 percent of votes in order to win the first round of a national election.

The constitution currently requires 50 percent plus. Opposition party members said this change would nearly guarantee President Wade a victory in the February 2012 election.

The amendment would also establish a vice presidency. Both supporters and opponents of President Wade argue his son, Karim Wade, would be the first pick for the spot.

Karim Wade, often referred to as “Super-Minister” Wade, is currently the minister of state for international cooperation, regional development, and infrastructure. In his position, he controls over 25 percent of Senegal’s federal budget.

Wade withdrew the bill Thursday after two days of violent clashes between protesters and riot police in the capital of Dakar.

Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe is an American actress who made her acting debut in the 2009 film Precious as Claireece. Sidibe was born and raised in New York.   Her mother is African-American and her father is Senegal-born.

Guy: Hi there.

I feel like black Americans and Africans for the most part really make a point to separate oursleves.

like, I know personally, I identify with being black American instead of African American because I don’t feel African at all.

and like, I know before I visited Senegal, I thought I was more an African American. but after being there and staying with my home-stay family, I realized that I’m not African at all, and that’s cool. like, it is what it is. being there helped me recognize and accept my Americaness.

and Africans and black Americans are really different, like kinda obviously through our cultures and everything.

but Idk, like, when I was with my home-stay family in Senegal, I felt a like, spiritual connection with them that I thought was rooted in our deep, shared ancestry.

but who knows what it was I felt.

I just find it interesting that we stress our differences so much, maybe to break down stereotypes and whatnot, but when I was in Senegal I felt similarities that couldn’t be seen.

MESMERIZING 1ST TRAILER FOR PIXAR'S "BRAVE"! 2ND MINDBLOWING TRAILER FOR "IMMORTALS" EPIC! CHRISTOPHER MELONI IS GENERAL IN "MAN OF STEEL"! "GREEN LANTERN" GETTING A SEQUEL

Ah, so today we are having a trailer day, with two stunning and absolutely breathtaking movie  videos. But before that, check out the short headlines: Christopher Meloni (oh, do you remember
him from OZ?) who is in talks to star in MAN OF STEEL, won't play Lex Luthor, but some general as "Vulture" reports. Fox is preparing a film adaptation of Justin Cronin's book PASSAGE, about a scientific experiment gone horribly awry that unleashes a new breed of vampires on society: vampires which also have the ability to read minds. Ridley Scott is producing. Although it didn't break records at the box office Warner Bros. is ready to greenlit the sequel to GREEN LANTERN! The film has earned less than $100 million so far in USA.
__________________________________________________
After we've seen the stunning poster and some adorable pictures, we finally have an absolutely mindblowing and mesmerizing first teaser for Pixar's animated film BRAVE which is coming to
cinemas next year. Set in medieval Scotland it follows the impetuous, tangle-haired princess Merida, who wants to become world's greatest archer. A clash of wills with her mother compels Merida to make a reckless choice, which unleashes unintended peril on her father's kingdom and her mother's life. Merida struggles with the unpredictable forces of nature, magic and a dark, ancient curse to set things right!The voice cast includes Emma Thompson and Kevin McKidd! I swear you won't be able to breathe while watching this one!

And after the truly sensational and groundbreaking first trailer which amazed the audience around the world attracting great praise from the movie lovers, Tarsem Singh has released the
second absolutely stunning and grandiose trailer for his Greek epic IMMORTALS. The film follows the adventure of brave Theseus (Henry Cavill) who has to fight against the evil King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) on his bloodthirsty quest to release the Titans in their revengeful wrath. Secretly chosen by Zeus (Luke Evans), Theseus must stop Hyperion and his evil hordes with the help of his cunning slave (Stephen Dorff) and visionary priestess Phaedra (Freida Pinto). The film also stars John Hurt as Old Zeus, Kellan Lutz as Poseidon, Isabel Lucas as Athena, Corey Sevier as Apollo! This will be the biggest visual feast ever!

1ST TRAILER FOR "FLYPAPER" WITH ASHLEY JUDD & PATRICK DEMPSEY! NATALIE DORMER IN "GAME OF THRONES 2"! JOSH PENCE IN "MORE AS THIS STORY DEVELOPS"! NICK SPARKS' NEW BOOK "THE BEST OF ME" ALSO GETTING ADAPTED!

Gorgeous young actor and model Josh Pence (whom we will be seeing next year in sf epic BATTLESHIP and in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES as young Ra's Al Ghul) will also star in HBO's charming new
comedy show MORE AS THIS STORY DEVELOPS which will follow comical situations in the backstage of a huge cable network with the cast which includes Jeff Daniels, Olivia Munn, Emily Mortimer... The casting for GAME OF THRONES second season has started with the shooting beginning next month, and the first new name in the cast is  Natalie Dormer whom we loved to hate as evil and spoiled Anne Boleyn in THE TUDORS. She will play Margaery Tyrell, a wealthy lady who is betrothed to Renly Baratheon, the brother of the late King Robert.

Although, just two days ago I've informed you that SAFE HAVEN by Nicholas Sparks will be adapted by Lasse Hallstrom, yet 
another of his novels has been sold for adaptation. As "Deadline" reports his upcoming book THE BEST OF ME has just been acquired by Warner Bros. The story follows two middle-aged people who were high school sweethearts but neither has lived the life they imagined . . . and neither can  forget the passionate first love that forever altered their world. When  they are both called back to their hometown for the funeral of the  mentor who once gave them shelter, they will be forced to confront the  choices each has made, and ask whether love can truly rewrite the past.

And check out a charming trailer for FLYPAPER which follows Tripp Kennedy (Patrick Dempsey) who ambles into a bank near closing time, just as two different gangs unwittingly converge to rob it. A shoot-out erupts, and Tripp tackles the smart, pretty teller, Kaitlin (Ashley Judd), to protect her. The gangs, one clearly made up of pros and the other a couple of buffoons named Peanut Butter and Jelly, have deadlocked themselves in a Mexican standoff. The bank's security system starts the end-of-day lock down and seals everyone into the building. As the night evolves, a hilarious game of cat and mouse ensues as Tripp and Kaitlin try to save the day, escape being killed, and avoid falling in love . . . almost.

Dakar, Senegal

The country that I grew up in, Senegal, is currently in the process of electing a new president. The current president is trying to tweek the system into allowing him another term, on top of that he is also pulling strings to put his son in the vice presidency, so that when Wade(the President) finally kicks it, the country stays in the family. There are riots in the streets, that some of my friends are saying have become more violent than any other in years. Basically, Senegal has the chance of becoming another Cote Voire sitiuation. I’m scared as to what this will mean for my family that live there, and for my friends that are going to school in the capital. Once again, greed is destroying a great country.

This is a Car Rapide. I traveled a lot with this bus when I was in Senegal last year. I noticed that theres Alhamdoulilah on every Car Rapide. It works just simple: There are a few guys who just recruit people to travel with it, they shout on the streets the place where it goes, and when you have to go to the same place or a place near it, you can just go with it. They dont charge a lot of money most of the time they are happy if you just give something. I believe it is free for like, homeless people, or orphans. But to give you a negative point: When the Car Rapide is full of ppl Please watch your belonings.. cause ppl might steel your money, camera or something else.

HOLLYWOOD SPY SPOTLIGHTS: "COWBOYS & ALIENS" WITH DANIEL CRAIG, HARRISON FORD AND OLIVIA WILDE READY TO PREMIERE THIS JULY!

 Although I'm not personally overly excited about it, new sf hit directed by John Favreau COWBOYS & ALIENS could very easily become the biggest blockbuster of the summer 2011 after it premieres on July 29th. Having a James Bond Daniel Craig
and an Indiana Jones Harrison Ford in the cast alongside gorgeous Olivia Wilde, with the plot in which cowboys, gangsters and Indians fight against aliens, the film could attract a big audience.

COWBOY & ALIENS TIDBITS
The story was written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman who brought us the brilliant script of STAR TREK. The cast also includes Sam Rockwell and Keith Carradine. Robert Downey Jr and Eva Green were the first candidates for the lead roles but thankfully they didn't get them! Harrison Ford didn't want to wear a hat in the film but he had to since he plays a cowboy. Film budget was around $100 million! Olivia Wilde has a bare chested scene in the film in front of the huge mass of Indians.
THE STORY OF THE FILM
The story is set in 1873 in Arizona. A stranger (Daniel 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 (Harrison 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.

Lured out of self-imposed exile to execute a near-impossible feat of retribution and personal salvation, Danny reassembles his old team of operatives to help rescue his former mentor (Robert De Niro), and to penetrate the highly feared and respected military unit, SAS. Facing off against a covert group of ex-SAS soldiers lead by Spike (Clive Owen) Danny and his team must take down a rogue cell of solider assassins before their actions result in a global political meltdown.The film is out this September.

One more Senegal picture for today (and I’m actually in...



Senegal drops new law amid protests

The Sengalese president has dropped a controversial electoral law amid opposition protests in the capital, Dakar, on Thursday.

Opponents of 85-year-old Abdoulaye Wade criticised the bill, saying it would allow him to easily retain power in next February’s presidential elections.

The current law requires that a candidate be elected with a 50 per cent majority in the first round of voting to avoid facing a run-off.

Al Jazeera spoke to Abir Saksouk-Sasso, a witness to the protests in Dakar

The draft law would reduce that number to only 25 per cent and create a position of vice-president, leaving Wade’s rivals concerned that he has plans to bring his 42-year-old son, Karim, into power.

Justice Minister Cheikh Tidiane Sy told lawmakers debating the bill that the president had “taken into consideration your concerns,” adding to applause that “he asked me to withdraw the draft legislation,” the AFP news agency reported.

Outside parliament and around Dakar, protesters took to the streets voicing outrage of the proposed bill.

Private television stations in Senegal showed footage of Thursday’s protests against the president in cities and towns elsewhere around the West African nation.

Witnesses told Al Jazeera that police fired tear-gas and water cannons at thousands of protesters chanting “Leave Wade” and “Don’t touch my constitution” around the parliament and presidential palace in Dakar.

Several people were injured when crowds clashed with police, according to reports.



I think I’m going to do a little bit of Senegal spam.  Sorry for anyone that isn’t interested.  Senegal is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.  Senegal has such an interesting culture, and probably some of the nicest people I have ever met.



More on Senegal:  After talking to almost anyone, of any religion, they would usually say that they would pray for you. For your happiness, for whatever ambition you may have just mentioned, whatever.  I’m not religious, and I would actually consider myself agnostic, but I just found this so amazing, and it always made me feel good.

This is a fort on one of the islands off Dakar.



One more Senegal picture for today (and I’m actually in this one!):

I loved how Senegal’s landscape would change so drastically in such a small area.  We went from the urban city of Dakar, to the nature reserve, to the Pink Lake (the water appears pink because of the salt content of the lake), to this area, which seemed like the middle of the Sahara, but was actually only a few yards from a gorgeous, completely deserted beach with the most amazing, misty blue coastline.

1ST PICTURES FROM "THE HOBBIT"! JULIA ORMOND IS SUPERMAN'S MOM? CHARACTER PICTURES FROM "BRAVE"! EMMA STONE IN "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES"! NEW "CAPTAIN AMERICA" POSTER!

 As you have probably heard since yesterday, the movie adaptation of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES has found its lead female star. And thank God it's not either Natalie
Portman nor overly present Anne Hathaway, but young cutie Emma Stone.It now remains to be seen whether she will accept the offer. The film will bring a crazy twist on Jane Austin's classic tale of the tangled relationships between lovers from different social classes in 19th century England who are now faced with a new challenge - an army of undead zombies.
The rest of today's post will be a bit different than usually since I have a bunch of great new pictures to show you, so here we go:
FIRST PICTURES FROM "THE HOBBIT"
Entertainment Weekly has released exclusive first pictures from Peter Jackson's THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY. Pictures show Martin Freeman as Bilbo and Sir
Ian McKellen
as Gandalf. The shooting of the two films will last for 254 days. As you know the magical cast includes Cate Blanchett, Richard Armitage, Lee Pace, Luke Evans, Evangeline Lily ...
JULIA ORMOND IS SUPERMAN'S MOM
And it seems Zack Snyder has finally finished casting roles for MAN OF STEEL. After Russel Crowe was hired to play Superman's biological father Jor-El, the latest gossips say that almost forgotten Julia Ormond is in talks to play his biological mother Lara. As you know, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane will play Clark Kent's adoptive parents, while Amy Adams will play Lois Lane and Michael Shannon will be the villain. Henry Cavill is, off course, the Superman.

CHARACTER IMAGES FROM "BRAVE"
Yesterday, HOLLYWOOD SPY brought you amazing first poster for Pixar's new animated film BRAVE which comes to cinemas next year, and today you can check out equally amazing character
photos. As you know, the film will be set in ancient Scotland following a young princess Merida who wants to become world's greatest archer. Emma Thompson, Julie Walters and Kevin McKidd are in the voice cast.
NEW POSTER FOR "CAPTAIN AMERICA"
A new poster for one of the biggest super hero blockbusters coming out this summer, July 22nd, has also been released today. It features Chris Evans as CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, an ordinary guy who gets made into a powerful super
soldier in order to fight Nazis in the WW2. Beside wonderful Chris Evans, the cast also includes Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Richard Armitage and many others.

LINK OF THE DAY Go to Facebook and support the page BOYCOTT OF CHELSEA HANDLER UNTIL SHE APOLOGIZES TO THE SERBIAN PEOPLE.  As you probably know, Amy Winehouse had a terrible concert last weekend in Serbia where she came to the stage drunk and drugged and Chelsea Handler used hate speech commenting in her show that Serbs didn't even deserve to go to concerts, didn't deserve to have Facebook and she even gave scandalous comments on Serbian history, calling Serbs a genocidal nation. I've always known she was ignorant, rude and unintelligent but this is just pure diabolical evil.
