South African Cinema News
Okay so it’s time to give a update on some of the Twilight cast movies that are coming out here and the New Moon movie news.
I was looking through Nu Metro and Ster-Kinekor for any movies that are coming out with any of the cast members and I only came across two. First with is Jackson Rathbone’s (Jasper Hale) movie called ‘The Last Airbender’. I’m sure most of you have heard of it.
So the movie is actually coming out on 10 September 2010. I know it’s far away but maybe it will move up. Below is some information about the movie.
Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Four nations tied by destiny when the Fire Nation launches a brutal war against the others. A century has passed with no hope in sight to change the path of this destruction. Caught between combat and courage, Aang discovers that he’s the lone Avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements. Aang teams with Katara, a Waterbender, and her brother, Sokka, to restore balance to their war-torn world.
Based on the hugely successful Nickelodeon animated TV series, “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” the live-action feature film The Last Airbender is the opening chapter in Aang’s struggle to survive.
Cast: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Dev Patel, Jackson Rathbone, Shaun Toub, Aasif Mandvi, Cliff Curtis
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Music: James Newton Howard
Second I came across Robs movie ‘Little Ashes’ and it’s coming out on the 02 October 2009. I’m sure most of you have heard of this movie where he plays Salvador Dali.
It looks like it will be coming out only in Ster-Kinekor. Check out below for more information.
In 1922, Madrid is wavering on the edge of change as traditional values are challenged by the dangerous new influences of Jazz, Freud and the avant-garde. Salvador Dali arrives at the university; 18 years old and determined to become a great artist. His bizarre blend of shyness and rampant exhibitionism attracts the attention of two of the university’s social elite – Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Bunel. Salvador is absorbed into their youthfully decadent group and for a time Salvador, Luis and Federico become a formidable trio, the most ultra-modern group in Madrid. However as time passes, Salvador feels and increasingly strong pull towards the charismatic Federico – who is himself oblivious of the attentions he is getting from his beautiful writer friend, Magdalena.
An important angle on this film is that is stars Robert Pattison from TWILIGHT. Heat magazine has run numerous adverts of the film…
As for New Moon both cineams are saying that it will be coming out on the 27 November 2009.
