Waaaay back in April we posted the first poster and teaser for the movie Blindness, which stars the amazing Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Sandra Oh and Danny Glover.

The plot looks pretty awesome. It has a feel of a classic science fiction movie, sort of like Children of Men a few years ago.

From what I can gather, the story revolves around an epidemic of blindness that forces the government to quarantine the people with this affliction into one area. And Moore’s character goes along with the, yet is the only one in the quarantine zone that can see.

I love the cast and really liked this new trailer. The movie hits theaters on September 26th.

The first photos from "Ashecliffe" emerge

Ashecliffe is the upcoming film by Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Michelle Williams and Ben Kingsley. Formerly known as Shutter Island, it’s based off the book of the same name by Dennis LeHane.

I reviewed the book awhile ago, and I’ll just reiterate how unbelievably awesome it was and the fact that it’s being made into a movie is killer. But then you get a director like Scorsese and a lead actor in DiCaprio, and suddenly the project feels like it could be one of the best movies of the year.

Sadly, that year is NOT going to be 2008. As of right now, according to IMDB, the film will arrive on October 2nd, 2009.

That’s a heck of a long way off.

But we already have two photos of the production, which feature DiCaprio and Scorsese behind a chain link fence.

The photos are courtesy of The Boston Herald. Yeah, they aren’t anything spectacular, but I’m so pumped for this movie, they could have just shown the FENCE and I’d be happy.

Enjoy.

'Blindness' teaser and poster

Okay, I now have a new movie I’m looking forward to this year. It’s called Blindness and arrives on October 15th.

I’ve liked Julianne Moore for quite awhile now, especially since Children of Men. Now she costars with Mark Ruffalo in a sort of I Am Legend type of thriller where everyone seems to lose their eyesight except her.

The tagline for the movie: “The only thing more terrifying than blindness, is being the only one who can see.”

You can hear that line uttered at the end of the teaser below by Moore herself.

According to IMDB and other places, some disease strikes a town that causes everyone to suddenly go blind except Moore. Her husband is a doctor played by Ruffalo, plus you also have Sandra Oh and Danny Glover included as co-stars.

The preview below is pretty chilling, the poster is awesome. I love how it’s blurry with the title of the film laid out like an eye chart. Clever.

These types of movies always interest me. I Am Legend, The Happening (which is coming soon), etc. End of the world, apocalyptic-like storylines always pull me in, so naturally I cannot wait to see this one.

Watch the preview below and check out the poster further down.

Sir Ben Kingsley added to ‘Shutter Island’

This movie ‘Shutter Island‘ just keeps getting better and better looking. I read the book a few weeks ago and you can read the review if you want to get an idea about the plot behind the movie.

First you have Leonardo DiCaprio playing Teddy, and then Mark Ruffalo as Chuck. Next up is the head physician named Dr. Cawley which will reportedly be played by Sir Ben Kingsley.

Kingsley is an amazing actor with a wide range of films in his past and from reading the book, he seems perfectly cast here to play a seemingly villainous doctor.

With the movie being directed by Martin Scorsese, this one is bound to be right up there with Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone in terms of Dennis Lehane novel-to-movie adaptations, and maybe with The Departed, Scorsese’s last huge hit.
