In a clever twist of marketing magic, a new poster has been released for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra which could easily be mistaken for the international poster released a couple of weeks ago.

Directed by Stephen Sommers, the film stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Byung Hun Lee, Sienna Miller, Rachel Nichols, Ray Park, Said Taghmaoui, Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayans and Dennis Quaid.

From the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps, the elite G.I. JOE team uses the latest in next-generation spy and military equipment to fight the corrupt arms dealer Destro and the growing threat of the mysterious Cobra organization to prevent them from plunging the world into chaos.

Comingsoon.net had the exclusive, check out the poster below:

Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.

Wow the news is flowing thick and fast for a Friday! In another directoral update, Chud have reported, the trades have confirmed and the deal has been signed -- Marcus Nispel will direct CONAN THE BARBARIAN!

Nispel's CV reads a little hit and miss with films such as "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake (hit) and "Friday the 13th" remake (definite miss), but given given that at one point this film was to be a Brett Ratner outing, I think we've come out of this quite well don't you?

With a director in the chair it's only a matter of time before we find out who will play the mighty barbarian himself, so keep em peeled and I'll update you as info comes in!

Horror site Bloody Disgusting have been given an interesting tidbit of information, according to their sources a director is currently in talks for the Robert Rodriguez produced sequel/reboot PREDATORS.

Neil Marshall, director of such films as "Decent" and "Dog Soldiers" is apparently close to signing a deal with 20th Century Fox for the picture.

20th Century Fox has Predators on the fast track for release in July 2010, but what do you make of the current choice of director? Give us your thoughts...

Megan Fox recently took time out of her busy schedule promoting the wildly popular Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to talk about her role in upcoming comic-book western Jonah Hex.

The Transformers 2 hottie plays Leila, gun-wielding prostitute and love interest of bounty hunter Jonah Hex. The uninitiated may find it odd that the DC Comics property is including working girls in their production, but according to Fox ALL the women in the film are prostitutes:

“Her name was initially Liala, and now they changed it — or it was Layla, and now they changed it to Leila. … All the women in the movie are prostitutes. … [I’m] sort of a tough, no-nonsense prostitute. Like, she’ll shoot you in the head if she has to. And she does!”

“That movie is gonna be amazing,” explained the “Transformers” star. “It’s a post-civil war, apocalyptic type Western. The director Jimmy [Hayward] is a lunatic, and he might be a genius. From some of the things I’ve seen him shoot, it’s a badass movie.”

Coming to theatres in the UK on 3rd July and to DVD/Blu-Ray on 13th July is the latest flick from award winning "Shrooms" director Paddy Bereathnach -- Red Mist. The film stars Arielle Kebbel, Sarah Carter and Andrew Lee Potts who sci-fi fans will remember from ITV's hugely successful series "Primeval".

The medical students at Forthaven General Hospital study hard and party harder, until a cruel prank accidentally puts the facility's creepy janitor into a deep coma.

But when one responsible student tries to revive the degenerate loner with an experimental injection, she instead sends his brainwaves berserk. Will a sudden spree of sick kicks now claim the guilty one-by-one, or has the ultimate out-of-body experience ushered in a bloodbath of brutal revenge?

Check out the trailer below, if the film is half as jumpy as the trailer leads us to believe then this will be one trip to the hospital you'll never forget! Be sure to come back next week for my review!
