Ray Winstone and a naked Angelina Jolie: The R-Rated Beowulf Trailer is now online 2007-08-27 06:03:23 Now, I’m not too sure how this works. Beowulf is a PG-13 movie right? So when reports came in that the R-Rated Beowulf trailer was online I got really confused! How can you get an R-Rated trailer from a PG-13 movie? Well thing is the trailer isn’t all that scary and yeah, you get to see a naked Angelina Jolie (well, mud is covering up her vitals) but still, I don’t think it’s worth an R-rating.. I suppose saying ‘PG-13 Comic Con trailer’ would grab far less attention than ‘R-Rated Comic-Con trailer’ so they must know what they are doing. The trailer itself was cut for the 3D experience. There are parts where blood is coming off the screen at the audience, but in 2D the trailer isn’t that impressive. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.

Hitman Gets Pushed Back and Frank Miller’s The Spirit Gets a 2009 Release Date 2007-08-27 05:38:05 The big screen adaptation of the video game Hitman has got a new release date. 20th Century Fox has moved Hitman’s release date from October 17th to November 21st. Could it be possible that Fox wanted to distance Hitman from 30 Days of Night, which will hit theatres on October 19th? With its new release date, Hitman will go head to head with the adaptation of Stephen King’s The Mist, August Rush, Disney’s Enchanted and The Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men. Surely there was far less competition with Hitman’s October release date? Lionsgate has announced the release date for Frank Miller’s adaptation of the Will Eisner Comic The Spirit. The movie will be released in cinemas on January 16th 2009. January isn’t a very popular month for film releases and I was certain that The Spirit would be more of a summer film. With JJ Abrams 1-18-08 being released in January maybe it’s now the hottest month to release in? Source Written by Lucy for Product ReviewsIn Sections: Film ...
