Screen Gems and Entertainment Tonight have given us a sneak peek at Christina Aguilera's new movie "Burlesque".

The “Genie In a Bottle” singer is hoping to impress in her new role - after being cast alongside established actors like Cam Gigandet, Cher, Eric Dane, Kristen Bell and Julianne Hough.

A synopsis via IMDB tells of the plot: “A small-town girl ventures to Los Angeles and finds her place in a neo-burlesque club run by a former dancer.”

In the clip we are treated to an interview with Cher and Stanley Tucci and a glimpse of Christina Aguilera's seductive performance.

Enjoy!

So, with a new decade stretching before us, and a host of end of decade polls, I figured I'd add my own 2 cents on the subject. After scooting around, and reading various lists of the best films of the noughties (rubbish word for the decade, but it's all we have), I noticed a few glaring omissions. The Times published a very popular list, which ranks highest in the google search. No 24 Hour Party People? No Igby Goes Down? Ahem. Read more »

Hot on the heels of that Avatar news, the other big development in cinema at the moment is the move toward 3D in a number of big upcoming movies.

Notably, Warner Bros. are throwing 3D at a number of forthcoming movies. The long-awaited sequel to Cats and Dogs will be in 3D, as will the epic Clash Of The Titans remake, and the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. And you can bet if Part I of that movie is going to be in 3D, then Part II will most likely follow suit.

For a movie that's earned over $2billion to date, James Cameron's Avatar was always going to spawn a sequel. And judging from the words of News Corp CEO, Rupert Murdoch, the follow-up is in the early discussion stages. According to FirstShowing.net:

They are definitely "pushing for one" but cautioned analysts not to "hold your breath for an early one," implying that it may take them a little more than two years to make another. For anyone that doubted that Fox would make a sequel, well, this is the final bit of proof that it is certainly happening, sooner than later.

Cameron, who masterminded The Terminator and Alien, both of which became hugely successful film franchises, says he has some ideas for a sequel. However, everybody who's spoken on the prospect of a second Avatar movie is being guarded about timeframes, looking to about 2 years or more for the release of a second one.

And that's if the film gets made within time and doesn't blow its budget! Read more »

There's nothing like a bit of old-fashioned futurism. Back in the 70s and early 80s, cinema produced a series of science fiction movies that not only excited the eyes and ears of the public, but captured their imagination, dealing with powerful, challenging issues raised by the anticipated shock of man's mastery of the physical and biological universe, environmental disaster, and the rapid advancement of technology. Whether it was Alien, Kubrick's 2001 or Ridley Scott's poetic visual masterpiece Blade Runner, moviemakers were capturing a golden (space) age of cinema. Sadly it wasn't to last. Roll on today, to the execrable crashes and bangs of Michael Bay's Transformers, and people, or at least movie executives that call the shots, prefer pure spectacle to being challenged to ponder the big questions of mans' place in the big scheme of things. James Cameron's Avatar being the billion-dollar exception that proves the rule, of course. Read more »

Ozzy Osbourne has revealed he is in talks about releasing a movie based on his life story and The Prince Of Darkness has hand picked Johnny Depp as the actor he'd most like to play him.

Speaking to the Daily Contributor, Ozzy said: “I’ve thought about Johnny Depp,”

“He’s one of the few actors who knows about rock ‘n’ roll who does a really good English accent.”

The biopic will be similar to recent musical biographies, such as Ray and Walk the Line.

Many people will be surprised by Ozzy's choice of Johnny Depp, however we already know he can sing (check out the crybaby clip above) and he is definitely one of the most versatile actors around. We hope this is an offer he says yes to, as if he took on the role, it is a movie that we would certainly want to watch.

Just in time for Christmas, one of my favourite movies of 2009 is now out on DVD and BluRay - Terminator Salvation.

After the three original movies focussed on John Connor getting a) born, and b) living past Judgement Day, Salvation brings us right into the middle of the war against the machines. Connor is a soldier in the human resistance, and Kyle Reese is still just a teenager.

Actor Dirk Benedict has confirmed that he will be making a cameo appearance in the new A-Team movie.

A while back it was reported that Dwight Schultz, the actor who played Howlin' Mad Murdoch on the TV series would star alongside his replacement Sharlto Copely in the movie. Today Dirk announced via his official website that he would also be back in an unspecified role.

Now if Mr T would agree to return, the whole cast would be just perfect. We pity the fool who'd turn down a cameo on the show that made him famous!
