New Trailer For Bad Ass Online

It wasn't a hoax after all!Back at the beginning of January we brought you the original trailer for Bad Ass, an indie actioner starring Danny Trejo, based on the infamous YouTube clip of "Epic Beard Man" delivering a beat-down on a bus. At the time, we were cautious about being taken in by a hoax.We took a poll. 29% of you were convinced it was a wind-up. The bus crash seemed very similar to one in Red Heat. Daily Grindhouse got hold of the director Craig Moss, and were none the wiser for having done so.But it turns out our suspicions were unfounded: here's a brand spanking new trailer for Bad Ass, which comes complete with confirmation of a US theatrical release on April 13, and an R rating for head-kickery.If you're new here, the source of this nonsense is aYouTube videodocumenting an argument on an Oakland, California bus between the 67-year-old Thomas Bruso (wearing a pale blue "I Am A Motherfucker" t-shirt) and a guy called Michael. It's unclear what starts the altercation, but it ends with a pummelling for Michael, after which Bruso is kicked off the bus and seen raving in the street, and Michael bleeds all over the seats.After the last trailer, we speculated that the story had been twisted into a Death Wish, but this time, with the reveal that Trejo starts out sitting on his porch telling war stories with an old buddy who's then murdered by local thugs, we're going to say that it's more like Harry Brown. Only with extra explosions.The addition of that initial set up is the main difference between the new trailer and the first, plus some new Grindhouse-y intertitles, and a shot at the end of Charles S. Dutton asking for an "amberlamps": a reference to Michael's particular pronunciation of "ambulance".Ron Perlman, of course, also co-stars.London's SC International have confirmed to Empire that they've been handling international sales, but there are no announced release dates outside the US so far.

There's not sure how Spider-Guy would match the completely new film, so we'll have to wait and discover whether Andrew Garfield will uncover themselves squaring removed from the alien antagonist.Film author Jacob Estes had formerly completed a script representing Venom becoming an anti-hero instead of a villain, however the new the new sony are apparently hunting for a completely new script additionally to some director and star.

Gossip Girl Big Day Aftermath! Scoop on Exactly What Happens Next

Wallace Shawn, Leighton Meester, John Shea [WARNING: The next story consists of major spoilers from Monday's episode for Gossip Girl, "The Princess Bride." Read at the own risk.] She made it happen. She marry and grew to become a princess. And today the avalanche of questions... Is Gossip Girl really will make Serta and Blair happen? Did new media magnate Nate just be seduced by another pretty girl (who is actually the actual Charlie Rhodes)? Would the cool Chuck have sent that video to Gossip Girl? Is he going to and Serena put themselves from their misery once they discover Blair went served by LonelyBoy? Did the royal lapdog Prince Louis really grow some? Is Georgina the actual Dread Sailing Roberts Gossip Girl? Erectile dysfunction Westwick fed up with "lovesick puppy" Chuck, ready for Gossip Girl to finish A lot of burning questions residual about Monday's 100th episode of Gossip Girl, compiled by executive producer Josh Safran and fittingly entitled, "The Princess Bride." Fortunately, Safran and fellow series boss Stephanie Savage were available a week ago to tease and tantalize reporters who got an earlier look in the episode about everything that's in the future. Get cozy - they'd a great deal to say! (But for the record, we are so adhering using the theory that Georgina isn't Gossip Girl.) Are you currently really likely to cave to fans who would like Serta and Blair together? Josh Safran: Cave to fans -- I do not think we percieve it as being caving to fans but you will know story will use a fascinating direction, sure. Could it be a tale you were not likely to tell before you saw the fan response to the pair of them? Stephanie Savage: No. I believe right from the start we always felt like there is a very strong link between the pair of them. Really, the very first episode Josh ever authored for all of us had among my personal favorite moments from the series which was a Serta-Blair scene where she's confiding in [him] her feelings about her mother and [there is] the concept that both of these individuals who -Body is Full B, one LonelyBoy -- really possess a lot in keeping. In comparison for their other buddies, they'd this feeling of intellectual curiosity, these were thinking about things outdoors their very own world... We always understood they would become buddies, but there is an issue if there is ever likely to be in addition to that. Safran: And i believe that question still remains, but we certainly 're going with this story. We understood this past year, too, whenever we got them connected in a different way. We understood we would intend to return to that particular connection... It had been always like, this is a strange factor to complete, to visit that placed you thought you'd never opt for type of at some point your sworn enemy. I believe this is exactly why they drawn back however they have been considering it since. What exactly are Blair's feelings toward Serta at this time - she just discovered he authored these vows but she keeps calling him whenever anything goes completely wrong in her own existence. Safran: I believe Serta most likely feels exactly the same way you believe he is doing, and also at a particular point he most likely will not have the ability to stand feeling that any longer and pressure Blair not to treat him this way - or otherwise treat him whatsoever, essentially. Where did Serta and Blair go? She's fled the nation before... Safran: Become familiar with that towards the top of the following episode... They're going a spot we have never shot before, but have always aspired to shoot also it really was complicated but an excellent-fun, large, great set piece. And in addition it has, i believe, the best comedy we have ever done. The following episode is extremely funny. Exactly what does this suggest for Chuck and Blair? Safran: Chuck and Blair will never be over. Almost always there is been a thorn within the side of Chuck somewhere, maybe it will be Serta, maybe it will be another person. But exactly how much can a guy take? Chuck should leave sooner or later, right? Safran: I'm not sure whether it's "just how much can a guy take?" It is a very tortured relationship for each of them. And i believe inside a strange way many people love that torture and often people dislike that torture. That's destined to be kind of the total amount for which happens [next]. Will Chuck be a bad boy again? Safran: Anytime anybody reforms, it's examined. But i was very conscious to make certain that Chuck didn't slide back after Episode 12. We all do think that Chuck has learned, and it is still ongoing to understand, that his evolution is real, it's not too easily lost approximately easily acquired. Although he will still be examined, I certainly think he approaches these tests now from, "I truly don't wish to slide back," instead of, "Oh, it's all too easy to slip back, I am just likely to go get it done.Inch 6 things to anticipate from the Gossip Girl wedding Are you able to discuss Chuck and Serena's responses to Blair and Serta running off together? What's their next thing? Safran: The following episode is really a direct pick-up and is identical evening. The responses are greatly immediate... You are likely to discover their whereabouts learn, you are likely to see the things they're doing about this, the way it impacts them. Certainly the storyline of this next episode is Chuck and Serena together coping with Blair and Serta together. What is going to happen since Serena has professed her fascination with Serta? Safran: Clearly, it is going to rankle Serena when she finds out what is happening between Blair and Serta. But additionally these figures are becoming an adult you do not always visit Defcon 4 whenever you find this stuff out. You attempt to cope with them maybe in additional of the rational, direct, honest manner. But that does not mean you cannot also visit Defcon 4 next. Given Serena's dream at first from the episode, seeing Serta choose Blair, did she know on some level that Serta did not love her back? Safran: I would not say it comes down to Serta not loving her back, however i would say Serena feels as though she may be losing things in her own world now to other activities. If inside your dreams everything is not exactly representational, just the concept that the floor is shifting under Serena... Louis just grew to become interesting! Do you know wanted him to consider this turn? Safran: No, but we understood Blair would test him -- just being Blair would test anybody. Savage: And him finding yourself in our Upper East Side world would test him. Safran: We certainly always understood it might be him getting more dark since the closer you are around to any or all this talking, each one of these people, the greater it begins to contaminate you. What we should loved was that Blair and Louis were ultimately in a position to reunite and check out one another from the great place but, it was only the final hay... On her to visit that put on their big day, it had been too much. Is Blair still continuing to move forward with worrying over this pact with God since Louie has switched on her? Safran: Within the next episode, that'll be clarified. The way Blair's parents help now, ever since they were this type of large thing about this episode? Safran: They are certainly involved with her story. They are dealing also with what's happened as well as in future episodes Blair seeks the counsel of her parents. So Georgina is behind this new Gossip Girl site - shall we be likely to see retaliation in the original Gossip Girl? Safran: Georgina is behind this new Gossip Girl site -- could it be a brand new Gossip Girl site? I'm not sure how you can answer that question, sorry. Just how can I only say whether it's that old Gossip Girl if Georgina is Gossip Girl? We won't answer that question. Georgina, whether she's that old or new Gossip Girl, will try to dominate this role then? Safran: I am talking about, she's this role! Now you see she's this role you are asked into this method that for a long time you have not seen. Simply because procedure for precisely how Gossip Girl will get her tips and what she gives get her tips I believe is actually fun. Savage: You're able to go behind the curtain using the wizard and find out. Did Georgina upload the recording of Blair? Safran: That's a significant plot point that runs a couple of [of episodes]. Is she the one that texted with Nate in the past episodes? Safran: I am not likely to answer that question. Who'll Georgina target next? Safran: Georgina sets her sights on everyone always. Georgina would take herself lower whether it got the greatest explosion. Gossip Girl "Finish from the Affair" postmortem: Burning questions clarified! Are you currently nervous about fan response to Georgina being Gossip Girl? Safran: Totally. You are always nervous, but we still feel confident about this. Savage: And in which the story is certainly going. Safran: Like Stephanie stated, the curtain continues to be lifted now you are likely to see more. If you notice more, the image will end up clearer. What exactly are Georgina's motives? Is she just evil? Savage: More entertainment than evil. Entertaining herself. Safran: Maximum damage just makes her laugh, therefore the more she will laugh, the greater. Are Nate and Serena still pursuing Gossip Girl? Safran: The Gossip Girl story continues the entire year. A plot with Gossip Girl continues [next season], but whether this arc with Gossip Girl concludes or otherwise, I won't say. Will you develop more for that real Charlie Rhodes? Safran: Absolutely. Where's Ivy hiding? Safran: That's an excellent question cheap you requested that question, there's a solution for the reason that. Does Nate have another new love coming? Safran: Nate has already established a lot of issues with his family that after he meets someone else who's most likely coping with similar things, he's really ready where he is able to enable them to and employ what he's learned... The romance coming is a very interesting story for him and extremely enables him to psychologically mature. What else could you say concerning the return of Elizabeth Hurley? Safran: Elizabeth is returning. She returns in an exceedingly scrumptious fashion. She'll provide us with kind of - the way in which she always does - a go within the arm within the last third of year. When she returns, the Chuck Bass story and also the Nate story will converge with Diana. How about Jack Bass? Safran: He returns also operating of this same story. Have you consider getting Eric back for that 100th episode? Safran: It's difficult with Connor because his show shoots in La and he's a normal. Around we'd like to, there have been a lot of moving pieces for any 100th episode that happened in a wedding, with 100s of extra supplies. To suit in another moving piece like that might be very hard. Taylor is on tour. We'd a lot of logistics to beat, that that would have just added much more. Talking about Little J, would you still think about story lines including Jenny or Vanessa? Savage: Individuals figures continue to be greatly in the world doing things. We have an excellent relationship with each of individuals stars. It might you need to be dependent on determining exactly what the story is after which ways to get them here. Literally, whenever we were speaking about getting Jenny arrived at Blair's wedding, Taylor was opening for Guns 'N Roses in Iceland. Safran: We know, as authors, where they're. We're able to let you know at this time where Jenny is. We keep alive the storyline of the items they are doing. When we could get Taylor, maybe she would have made Blair's dress rather than Vera Wang. We would have needed to realize that several weeks earlier. She's at fashion school working in london. Savage: She's doing great. Safran: You'll hear where Eric is approaching. Perhaps you have had conversations using the CW about whether you will be doing another season of Gossip Girl? Savage: Well, we are not writing a set finale this season. Has got the network really stated you are safe, or are you currently just wishing? Savage: We have checked along with our bosses to make certain we are not shooting inside us the feet. Safran: They are fully aware we are not writing a set finale. Exactly what does reaching 100 episodes mean for you? Savage: It is a large deal. It's emotional. It is extremely, very difficult to reach 100 episodes. The O.C. reached 93 episodes, Chuck reached a heartbreaking 91 episodes. A hundred episodes within our industry is the standard of success, of feat. To have the ability to make it happen, especially on the serial drama, especially on the show about youthful people, especially on the cycle where there is a authors strike, it is a large deal. Safran: I stored saying from Day 1, we are getting to 100. This can totally allow it to be there. Additional confirming by Natalie Abrams.

Unlike von Sydow, however, Oldman gained a BAFTA jerk, which counts for much since Britons constitute an enormous area of the Academy voting bloc. The Very Best Actor category also includes a surprising fresh face in Demian Bichir (A Much Better Existence). Both Bichir and McCarthy were snubbed through the Globes but nominated by SAG, showing once more that, of these two, the SAGs really are a better predictor from the Oscar acting races. (It seems sensible: Stars election for the SAGs and also the Academy's acting honours). This season, 17 from the 20 Oscar nominees also received SAG nods.Broad comedy: Talking about McCarthy, many predictors thought she was unlikely to become nominated because Bridesmaids was too raunchy a flick for that stodgy old Academy voters' taste. But that perception has become formally altering (see also: Robert Downey Junior.'s nomination for Tropic Thunder 3 years ago). Regrettably, Bridesmaids skipped on a Best Picture jerk. Small steps, people.The Tree of Existence: Terrence Malick's divisive drama concerning the roots of existence have been snubbed for almost all the honours season, however it handled to really make it into both Best Picture and finest Director races (Malick is definitely an Academy favorite). That certain-two punch is really a deadly combo - particularly with less pointing slots than picture slots. (Only three films have won Best Picture with no Best Director nomination.) The Tree of Existence is really a love-it-or-hate-it type of movie, and it is clearly the previous using the Academy.Very Noisy and extremely Close: Producer Scott Rudin's schmaltzy, poorly examined adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's 9/11 drama made the very best Picture cut over his other better - and-examined, even prematurely - book adaptation (Stieg Larsson's The Lady using the Dragon Tattoo) with little momentum. We most likely must have seen it coming because the Academy loves Stephen Daldry (The Readers, The Hrs, Billy Elliot - all Oscar-nominated films). The Brit, however, was excluded in the director selection, stopping him from getting four Best Director nominations for his first four movies.Billy Very to host the Academy awards for that ninth timeSnubsAlbert Brooks: Like we stated, the SAGs are the most useful indicator for Oscar success. Brooks' SAG snub for Drive was shocking then, however, many thought he could overcome it since he'd been giving Christopher Plummer (Beginners) a run for his profit precursor honours. Rather, the Academy went for that veteran in von Sydow. Fun fact: Both Plummer and von Sydow are 82, and when either wins, he'd get to be the earliest acting Oscar champion in almost any category. Jessica Tandy, who had been 80 when she won Best Actress for Driving Miss Daisy, presently supports the record.Steven Spielberg: The 2-time champion did not earn a pointing jerk for War Equine, but possibly most shocking would be that the Adventures of Tintin, that they co-created with the almighty from the The almighty from the Rings Healing For Peter Jackson, was snubbed in the animated feature selection after winning the world and also the Producers Guild Award. Don't feel bad for Spielberg: War Equine received a Best Picture mention, so he's nominated like a producer.Shailene Woodley: The ultimate Supporting Actress slot came lower to Woodley (The Descendants) and McCarthy (neither gained both Globe and SAG nods such as the otherfour women within the category). Woodley lost out ultimately, despite starring within the more Academy-friendly film and as being a youthful celebrity. The Academy usually loves breakout youthful stars, mainly in the supporting race - recent nominees include Hailee Steinfeld, Anna Kendrick, Abigail Breslin and Saoirse Ronan, not to mention, the youngest acting champion has ever been Tatum O'Neal, who had been 10. Leo and Fassy: The Very Best Actor selection was shaping as much as be among, otherwise the most popular ever, but Leonardo DiCaprio (J. Edgar) and Michael Fassbender (Shame) both unsuccessful to attain nods. Were voters uncomfortable with Shame's NC-17 rating and also the never-ending nudity? In the end wish Fassbender made the candidate, we are Comfortable with DiCaprio's snub. His J. Edgar Hoover was sufficient within an insufficient film, and we are glad he did not allow it to be in on his title - or Clint Eastwood's - alone, which happens generally having a-listers.What surprised the most? Who do you consider deserved a nomination?

"Somebody within the last century will receive a window to yesteryear and so they return using the goal of trying to prevent the murder of JFK. It is really an amazing thriller. It's a great love story, also. It's a fabulous book." Demme doesn't have a very time-table on when the movie might start shooting "First I have to have the script finished," he mentioned, "which is going very wellInch but he did condition he feels more than a small bit fortunate being coping with King we've spent with another American icon in Youthful. "Sitting here with Neil Youthful, and with Stephen King they're two great American storytellers who use different mediums," he mentioned.
