AMAZING TEASER FOR MEDIEVAL EPIC "IRONCLAD" WITH JAMES PUREFOY, PAUL GIAMATTI, DEREK JACOBI, BRIAN COX ...
You all know how much your Hollywood Spy loves historicals and epics, so the upcoming film "Ironclad" is definitely one of my most anticipated ones in 2011. 
If you click on the video bellow you will see quite a stunning early teaser made only from the first two weeks of shooting, but it still is amazing and cool and the music is larger than life.
The film is set in 1215 when the rebel barons of England have forced their despised King John to put his royal seal to the Magna Carta, a noble, seminal document that upheld the rights of free-men. Yet within months of pledging himself to the great charter, the King reneged on his word and assembled a mercenary army on the south coast of England with the intention of bringing the barons and the country back under his tyrannical rule.
Barring his way stood the mighty Rochester castle, a place that would become the symbol of the rebel's momentous struggle for justice and freedom.
The movie will have an absolutely amazing cast: James Purefoy as the brave Marshall joined by best acting legends Britain can offer Derek Jacoby, Richard Attenborough (although I'm not sure about him since he was ill at some point of the production), Brian Cox, Guy Siner (remember famous Gruber from ALO, ALO), then there's also the amazing Jason Flemyng, and two lovely ladies Kate Mara and Bree Condon, and off course Paul Giamatti as the evil King John. Megan Fox and William Moseley were also supposed to star in it, but they are not in the cast.

ÎNCHEIERE
Frate, o boală învinsă ţi se pare orice carte.
Dar cel ce ţi-a vorbit este în pămînt.
E în apă. E în vînt.
Sau mai departe.
Cu foaia aceasta închid porţile şi trag cheile.
Sunt undeva jos sau undeva sus.
Tu stinge-ţi lumînarea şi întreabă-te :
taina trăită unde s-a dus ?
Ţi-a mai rămas în urechi vreun cuvînt ?
De la basmul sîngelui spus
întoarceţi sufletul către perete
şi lacrima către apus.
CONCLUSIONE
Fratello, una malattia sconfitta e ogni libro.
Ma quello che ti ha parlato c'e nella terra.
C'e nell'acqua. C'e nel vento.
O piu oltre.
Con questa pagina chiudo le porte e getto le chiavi.
Sono da qualche parte in su o da qualche parte in giu.
Tu spegna la tua candela e chiediti :
il mistero vissuto dov'e andato ?
Ti e rimasta nelle orecchie alcuna parola ?
Dalla fiaba del sangue detta
torna la tua anima verso il muro
e la tua lacrima verso ovest.
CONCLUSION
Brother, any book is a defeated disease.
But the man who spoke to you there is in the ground.
There is in the water. There is in the wind.
Or beyound.
With this page I close the doors and throw the keys.
I'm somewhere up or somewhere down.
You turn off your candle and ask yourself :
the living mystery where he went ?
Did any word remain in your ear ?
From the tale of the blood told
turn your soul to the wall
and your tear to the west.

WILL SMITH IS MR. PRESIDENT IN "INDEPENDENCE DAY 2". EMILY BLUNT JOINS BRUCE WILLIS IN SF "LOOPER". MERYL STREEP IS DRUG ADDICT IN "AUGUST OSAGE COUNTY". EMMA THOMPSON GOES AGGRESSIVE IN "MEN IN BLACK 2"
According to "Variety", our dear Emily Blunt has joined Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in LOOPER, a sf flick which centers on a future where a group of hitmen named Loopers are sent back in time to kill those 
who have committed serious crimes in the future. Once they die in the past, the crime in the future ceases to happen. Emily Blunt will portray a single mother whose son becomes a target, and she goes to great lengths to protect him.
Well, we've always known that Will Smith has had a very high opinion about himself (and his kids and wife), and now he will be the president of USA. Not the real one, yet, but in the sequel to one of the most successful blockbusters of all times INDEPENDENCE DAY II. Speaking to MTV, director Roland Emerich has revealed that it will be an alternate
reality kind of movie in which they will tell what would have happened after that kind of alien attack, asking questions like: Did they rebuild the White House? Who will be president? Or better to say who Will be president? :) They are planning to shoot two back-to-back sequels, one for 2012 and one for 2013.
Speaking of Will Smith, MEN IN BLACK III might get Emma Thompson in the role of Agent Oh, an aggressive MIB agent who is in charge of monitoring a prison break. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones will return to their old roles in the sequel which will be set in 1969.
Is there anything her imperial majesty Meryl Streep hasn't played so far? Well, she's never played a drug addict, but now she will. In AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY Meryl will play the drug-addicted mother of the Weston family, whose husband goes missing, so her daughters return home to comfort their mother. While they're at home, numerous family secrets are revealed. Julia Roberts might play one of the daughters.

FRUCTUL OPRIT
Cum ţii şi tu din veac la amănunte,
te legi de forme strîmte şi alegi !...
De ce te-arăţi arar şi doar pe munte ?
Şi vii înveşmîntat numai în legi ?
Eu sunt pe fund de văi o biată nalbă,
Mă poartă lumea-n piept la sărbători,
Iar tu mă vrei în slăvi o stîncă albă
Ca-n trăsnete pe mine să cobori...
Mi-eşti ploaie caldă, ştiu, mi-eşti vînt de vară
Dar tu întreg, tu pur cînd vei sosi ?
Cel dincolo de nori, de fum şi pară,
Nu cum grăiai din rug lui Moisi.
Satana vezi cît de duios se-mbracă !
Tu alte chipuri lesnicioase n-ai ?
Şi nu te pleci pe creştetul meu dacă
Nu pot fi piscul asprului Sinai ?
Pe-o ramură ce-azurul lin străpunge
De ce nu eşti un măr înrumenit ?...
Cum te-aş muşca de te-aş putea ajunge,
Tu, Doamne,-n lume singur fruct oprit.
FRUTTO PROIBITO
Come da secoli tu manteni i dettagli,
Ti stai legando da forme strette e scegli !...
Perche ti mostri di rado e solo nelle montagne ?
E arrivi sempre vestito delle leggi ?
Io sono una povera malva nel fondo della vale,
Mi mette la gente nel petto alle feste,
E tu mi vuoi nel cielo una rocca bianca
Coi fulmini a scender su di me...
Sei pioggia calda, lo so, sei vento di estate,
Ma tu intero e puro quando arriverai ?
Quello oltre le nuvole, il fumo e il fuoco,
Non come parlavi a Moise dal roveto ardente.
Satana vedi come gentile si veste !
Tu non hai modi piu facili ?
E non ti pieghi sopra la mia testa se
Non posso esser la cima del ruvido Sinai ?
Su un ramo che traffigge dolcemente il blu
Perche non sei una arrossita mela ?
Come ti morderei se ti raggiungessi
Tu, Signore, nel mondo solo frutto proibito.
FORBIDDEN FRUIT
As you are fond of details,
You bound yourself of narrow forms and choose !...
Why do you appear so rarely and only on the mountains ?
And you come dressed only in low ?
I am a poor mallow in the bottom of the valley,
People waear me on the chest at feasts,
And you want me to be a white rock
As in lightening to come down on me...
You are a warm rain, I know, a summer wind,
But you whole and pure when will you arrive ?
That from beyond the clouds, the smoke and the fire,
Not as you spoke to Moses from the burning bush.
Satan, see how gentle clothes he wears !
Don't you have easier manners ?
And don't you bend over my head
If I can't be the peack of rough Sinai ?
On a branch thatgently breaks the blue
Why aren't you a rosy apple ?
How I should bite you if I could reach you,
Thou, Lord, the only forbidden fruit in the world.

VIDEO GAME "MYST" GETS FILM ADAPTATION. "THE MUNSTERS" ARE COMING TO TV AGAIN. SAM RAIMI MAKING "EARTH DEFENSE FORCE" A HUGE SF FLICK ABOUT ALIEN INVASION
Popular video game MYST is heading to the big screen. The game appeared back in the 90's and it revolves around a secret civilization called D'ni, who have the ability to travel between different worlds. There were also novels based on the game which explained the origins of D'ni. One of the main characters is a young American woman who accidentally becomes involved with The D'ni.
Bryan Fuller, the creator of PUSHING DAISIES and the producer of HEROES and STAR TREK VOYAGER, is currently working on the NBC pilot for a reboot of the popular 60's TV series THE MUNSTERS according to "MovieWeb". The series will follow a family of lovable monsters who don't quite understand why the public reacts oddly to their presence and apparently it will be done as a mix of MODERN FAMILY and TRUE BLOOD.
Sam Raimi(SPIDERMAN) and Bill Block (DISTRICT 9) are preparing a huge sf movie EARTH DEFENSE FORCE for Warner Bros. The film starts with three alien attack fighters appearing from nowhere and destroying many of the world's landmarks and military installations before vanishing again.
After that NASA detects a radiation signature in a nearby galaxy, indicating a far more massive attack coming in about ten months, and world leaders set about trying to create super-aircraft and weapons that can fight off the coming invasion.
And you can also check out the adorable new poster for Disney's upcoming animated movie TANGLED, the adaptation of the popular RAPUNZEL fairy tale which comes out this November. The film will be set in a stunning CG fantasy world complete with the iconic tower, an evil witch, a gallant hero and of course the mysterious girl with the long golden tresses.
