X-Men Origins: Wolverine will tell the backstory of Wolverine, one of the most popular X-Men characters, played by Hugh Jackman. The plot of the movie:

Wolverine lives a mutant life, seeks revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabertooth) for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately ends up going through the mutant Weapon X program.

The cast is pretty sweet for this one: Ryan Reynolds, Liev Schreiber, Dominic Monaghan, Danny Huston and more.

The film is scheduled to arrive on May 1st, 2009. Enjoy the photo!

Defiance is one of those films that could potentially be up there with the likes of Schindler’s List and The Pianist in the genre of Holocaust movies.

Granted, all I’ve seen are trailers, but the buzz about Defiance is growing and the release date of December 12th just makes it all the more likely to be an Oscar contender. It stars Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell.

Here’s the plot:

“Three Jewish brothers (Craig, Schreiber and Bell) escape from Nazi-occupied Poland into the Belarussian forest, where they join Russian resistance fighters and endeavor to build a village in order to protect themselves and others in danger.”

I am a huge fan of Craig and Schreiber, but you also get Edward Zwick, the director of Glory, Blood Diamond, Legends of the Fall and The Last Samurai.

Watch the trailer below and I dare you to not get goosebumps from it, and then check out the new poster for the film below.
