I was really mixed on Babylon A.D. and then I’ve seen the recent round of television trailers and it looks pretty good. I’m probably one of those rare few that actually like Vin Diesel most of the time though. The poster reminds me of a Blade Runner and Unbreakable cross-over for some reason.

I keep seeing bits about this movie Outlander, that has old school Vikings fighting an alien (or aliens). Here’s a two-minute clip I found on YouTube that gives you a bit of a feel. Oh, there’s also a good alien played by Jim Caviezel (Passion of the Christ) who’s in the clip being interrogated by a Viking chieftain about what he’s doing there

Dragonball is a movie based on a Japanese Anime called Dragonball Z and it stars Justin Chatwin as Goku (above), who is trying to prevent the evil Piccolo (James Marsters) from stealing dragonballs (sounds sort of dirty) and doing bad things with them (like world domination or whatever). Chow Yun-Fat and Emmy Rossum are also cast in the movie. JoBlo has a few new pictures.

I saw this trailer in on the big screen before the Batman movie, but Body of Lies didn’t totally grab me. Maybe that’s because I was in batman mode. Still, it’s Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe so I have no doubt that this will be an excellent movie. It comes out October 10. Have a peek.

Lately I’ve been on a Greek kick because I’ve been reading David Gemmell’s series about Troy (utterly fantastic and I’m saddened that he passed away) and then I read this welcome article on all the great movies in the works. It’s possible my favorite time genre and hearing about The Argonauts just gets me all fired up.

Hollywood’s latest love affair with the toga, which heated up after DreamWorks-Universal’s “Gladiator” nabbed $458 million worldwide at the B.O. and a best picture Oscar, is starting to rival the output of the 1950s when such pics as “The Robe,” “Quo Vadis” and “Ben-Hur” hit the bigscreen.

Now, Zak Penn is taking a stab at Greek life. The scribe, who is best known for adapting such comicbook properties as “The Incredible Hulk” and “The X-Men” for the bigscreen, is writing and will produce “The Argonauts” for 20th Century Fox.

In the wake of the success of “300,” sword-and-sandals pics have become a hot commodity.

The good news is that it doesn’t end there. Warner Brothers is going to remake the awesome Clash of the Titans. That movie sucks now, but at the time I thought it was incredible. An update remake would be fantastic. Oh, there’s also a 300 sequel or prequel in the works. We’ll also be getting War of Gods about a Greek hero/king named Theseus who fought gods and killed the minotaur. There’s also a Hercules: The Thracian Wars (I really like director Peter Berg) in the works and of course the video game to be a movie, God of War.

It’s seems like some great stuff is headed our way. For Sparta!
