1ST TRAILER FOR "MARGIN CALL" WITH KEVIN SPACEY, ZACHARY QUINTO & PAUL BETTANY! NEW PICS FROM "HAPPY FEET 2" AND "SALMON FISHING IN YEMEN" WITH EMILY BLUNT & EWAN MCGREGOR! "THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY" FILM!

 Since fairy tales are "in", Universal is preparing a new movie adaptation of THE NUTCRACKER in which the story starts when
a little girl gets a Nutcracker doll for Christmas from her grandfather and continues when the doll takes her on an adventure that includes a war involving a seven-headed Mouse King and his army of mice, curses and themes of ugliness and beauty. According to "Deadline" Universal will also adapt a Dark Horse comic called THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY which centers on an adopted dysfunctional family of superheroes with bizarre powers who are brought together by a mentor. The comic was written by the singer of My Chemical Romance band!

First pictures have been released today for a charming comedy SALMON FISHING IN YEMEN which will be directed by one of our favourite directors Lasse Hallstrom. You can see the main
stars Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt in the first images from the film which follows a fisheries scientist  who finds himself reluctantly involved in a project to bring salmon fishing to the
Highlands of the Yemen -a project that will change his life, and the course of British political history forever. The film is an adaptation of a bestselling book by Paul Torday!

And speaking of new pictures, check out a lovely image from HAPPY FEET 2 which I found over at "Beyond Hollywood". Beside Mumble we shall now also meet his son who is choreo-
phobic and reluctant to dance and hangs out with a penguin who can fly! But beside the problems with his son, things will get worse for Mumble when the world is shaken by powerful forces, causing him to brings together the penguin nations and their allies to set things right. The film comes to cinemas this November.

The first trailer was released today for the financial drama MARGIN CALL which opens in cinemas this October. Although
the topic might not be that interesting to most of us, the cast of the film really is amazing with Zachary Quinto, Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Penn Badgley, Jeremy Irons, Stanley Tucci and Simon Baker.  The story of the movie revolves around eight people at an investment bank during a 24-hour period amidst the 2008 horrible financial crisis. The female part of the cast has two almost forgotten actresses from the 90's Demi Moore and Carla Gugino.
