17 Apr 09 Movies: The Expendables, The Green Hornet, Dimension

Some cool looking movies on the distant horizon.

Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Eric Roberts, Terry Crews, Danny Trejo… The Expendables cast is wicked! This could be an awesome unabashed 80s-style action movie if the script is good enough and it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Then we have Michel Gondry directing Seth Rogen and Stephen Chow in The Green Hornet. Nice.

And much much further ahead, Lars von Trier is still working on this mysterious and ambitious film called Dimension. It’s starring Udo Kier, who said:

Dimension is a project which we have been shooting for 8 years and we aren’t allowed to talk about the story. We meet every year at Christmas, we have Christmas dinner and then we shoot one day, three minutes. So in the year 2024, we have 90 minutes and the actor will hopefully make it. So I hope I make it to then. And the actor, because he doesn’t wear make-up will grow older 30 years in 90 minutes. I am losing the hair and all that. I like Lars Von Trier and I think definitely Lars Von Trier is one of the most talented European director there is.
