"The Great Gatsby" (2012) - First Trailer

After seeing those gorgeous first stills for "The Great Gatsby" with Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire, I was very impressed. But how everything looks in the trailer is much more that I've expected from this adaptation. It looks like a hell of a show, but I think it's too much. I never imagined that it could be as huge, shiny and entertaining, while I was reading the book.

And, of course, I'm going to read again the great novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald before I watch the film to know, if Baz Luhrmann made a good adaptation or not. Either way, his version of "The Great Gatsby" has to be fabulous.

The film release is set up for the end of this December.

Beautiful stills from "The Great Gatsby"

Two official stills from "The Great Gatsby" have been revealed. I can say that Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire look great in these retro costumes. But the most I like DiCaprio's hairdo on the first picture. Oh, he is going to be a fabulous Jay Gatsby!

"Shame" (2011) - Tailer and other stuff

"Shame" tells us a story of a 30-year-old man, who has serious sex addiction. But it gets even more interesting, when his wayward sister starts helping him, moves in with him and makes his life more complicated. The jury at the Venice Film Festival was very impressed by Michael's performance and gave him Coppa Volpi for the Best Actor (a huge goblet). And critics love this movie for its provocation and power.

Warning: there are some naked scenes including the main character. It's for you to decide whether you'll like it or not.

Directed by Steve McQueen ("Hunger", 2008). It is his second collaboration with Mr. Fassbender.
Starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan as Brandon and his sister Sissy.

Release dates - December 2, 2011 (USA), December 7, 2011 (France), January 13, 2012 (UK).

"DRIVE" (2011) - New poster, stills and synopsis

Along with a new poster and stills, the detail synopsis has been revealed: "Driver (RYAN GOSLING) is a stunt driver by day and a getaway driver by night. Doesn't matter what job he does, Driver is most comfortable behind the wheel of a car. Shannon (BRYAN CRANSTON) is part mentor, part manager for Driver. Since he knows what a great talent Driver is behind the wheel, he either peddles him to film and television directors in the entertainment business or thieves who need an accomplished getaway driver, taking a cut for his own pockets. Always looking to make a buck, Shannon's current plan is funding a stock car that Driver can race on the professional circuit. Since Bernie Rose (ALBERT BROOKS) is the wealthiest guy he knows, even if the sources of his money are questionable, Shannon proposes he be their investor. After seeing Driver in action at the speedway, Bernie Rose insists Nino (RON PERLMAN) partners with them as well.

Primarily a loner and ambivalent about the deals Shannon makes for him, Driver's world changes the day he shares an elevator ride at his apartment building with Irene (CAREY MULLIGAN). When he sees her again at the grocery store with her young son, Benicio (KADEN LEOS), he is transfixed, and willingly offers help when they are stranded in the parking lot because Irene's car won't start. Soon Driver settles into a routine of driving Irene to her waitress job and watching Benicio, entangled in their lives while her car is fixed. This interlude in Driver's life abruptly stops when Standard (OSCAR ISAAC), Irene's husband, is let out early from prison for good behavior. Even though nothing has happened between Driver and Irene, Standard is threatened by another man's presence in his family's life. Driver backs off, respectful of Irene's desire to keep her family together, but when he finds Standard bloodied and lying in the garage with a scared Benicio standing next to his father, Driver is embroiled even further in Irene's life. Then trouble begins…" (Official movie website)

"Drive" (2011) - Red Band Trailer

This story is about a stunt performer, played by Ryan Gosling, who sometimes works as getaway driver. Director Nicolas Winding Refn said about his movie: "Being realistic is OK, but it's not necessarily very interesting. We weren't aiming to make a documentary. But we wanted to strike a balance so that the film wouldn't become over-stylised." For him it wasn't usual to make movies at Hollywood, so he told how it feels to make movie there: "It was extraordinary, I was in this house with a swimming pool and an orange grove, it was mythical for me to be in that place. And the incredible thing was that everybody was helping me, while I had all these negative preconceptions. The producers were always there for me. I was able to make the movie I wanted to make." Other characters in "Drive" are portrayed by actors Carey Mulligan, Bruce Cranston, Christina Hendricks and Ron Perlman. Finally, I want to add that some critics are impressed by their performances and really enjoyed the movie and Nicolas Winding Refn got Prix de la mise en scène (Best Director Award) at the 64th Cannes Film Festival because of this movie.
