Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li Trailer Released

street_fighter

The first trailer for the video game movie Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li has been released.  It is for the Japanese version of the film, so ignore the voiceover, but you can still see Kristin Kreuk and her castmates kicking some ass.

This film appears to have been cast much better than the 1994 awful Street Fighter movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia, but they still have one actor I can’t figure out, Chris Klein.  Did anyone realize that he was still acting?  I didn’t.  Once Katie Holmes broke off her engagement with him he seemed to fall off the face of the earth. But here he is resurfacing in an action film.  Huh?  Reminds me of the children’s song, “One of these things is not like the others.  One of these things just doesn’t belong.”

Beckham Says Goodbye to Pepsi

david_beckham_pepsiCorporations everywhere are feeling the strain of the economy on their advertising budgets, but not Pepsi.  They just added £2million-a-year ($2,940,000) to theirs.

After 10 years as the face of Pepsi, David Beckham is saying goodbye.  He has chosen to end his contract to  focus on his other endorsement deals such as Vodafone and Armani.

In a statement Beckham had this to say about his tenure with Pepsi:

“I have nothing but good memories of my association with Pepsi. I’ve played a gladiator, a cowboy, a surfer, [Editors Note: Was he making Pepsi ads or a Tribute to the Village People?] and worked alongside Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez as well as some of the biggest names in world football…I hope everyone who has seen the work enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it.”

An ingenious chemistry teacher at Tokyo’s Musashi Institute of Technology has realized that not only does sex sell, but it aides in education as well.  She has created ‘The Periodic Table: Learning Basic Chemistry through Moe’ a study guide for chemistry. Each element in the periodic table is assigned an ‘Element Girl’ to represent it’s unique traits such as Fluorine hefts a Teflon frying, Sodium is baking bread and Hydrogen is represented as a tiny fairy.

“It describes each element’s properties very well, makes the subject easier to approach and understand,” comments Mitsuda (the teacher).

Additional Cast Announced For Tron 2.0

tron_poster1

The casting directors for Tron 2.0 have the formula figured out.  When making the sequel to a film that is  over 25 years old it is okay (and almost  a necessity) to bring back the two leading men from the original but then add two hot young actresses to the mix so guys will actually see it.

With Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde and Beau Garrett already signed on to the film ComingSoon is now reporting the Bruce Boxleitner (Tron himself) will be part of the project.  They also give us the only glimpse into the film that we’ve seen so far:

Though plot details are being kept under wraps, it is know that the new movie will act as the “next chapter.” Wilde will play a worker in the virtual world who tries to help fight Master Control Program, while Garrett will play a siren in the virtual world.

Holiday Heartbreaker - Megan Fox Won’t Be Topless

jennifers_body_posterThe cannibal cheerleader film “Jennifer’s Body” starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried has been given a release date: September 18, 2009.  But along with that news comes this tidbit that men worldwide will be devastated by.  The scenes of Megan Fox emerging from a lake appearing topless (even though she’s wearing pasties) have been cut from the film.

In my opinion they may have just ruined their chances at the box office because the storyline is pretty paltry.  Here is a synopsis from FilmGecko:

“Jennifer’s Body” follows a gorgeous cheerleader (Megan Fox), who’s possessed by a demon and starts feeding off the boys in a small Minnesota farming town. Her best friend must kill her, then escape from a correctional facility to go after the Satan-worshipping rock band responsible for the horrible transformation.

Now without a topless scene from Fox do you really think that story will carry a movie?  No.  Even if they cut the scene they probably shouldn’t have let it leak.  A smarter business move would have been to let the guys  think they are going to see her, pay the ticket price and then be disappointed.  At least the studio would have gotten one solid weekend of ticket sales.
