However, everyone who has seen the film are asking - How was it made? Well, Yahoo! Movies has recently uploaded a twenty-two minute behind-the-scenes featurette entitled “Creating the World of Pandora” which covers a varied assortment of behind-the-scenes info that will hopefully answer a lot of questions about how this movie was put together.

But when Kwan foils an armed robbery and becomes a public hero, Chong can't shake the feeling that his new friend may not be all he seems. Who's the villain and who's the hero?

Teaser For Live-Action Adaptation of "BECK"



The official website for the live-action adaptation of the manga "BECK" has uploaded a teaser trailer. The live-action adaptation is directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi and stars Hiro Mizushima, Takeru Satoh, Kenta Kiritani, Aoi Nakamura and Osamu Mukai as the members of the band.

In 2004, the manga was adapted as a 26-episode anime television series with the title "BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad". If you have never watched the anime series before, I highly recommend you do so. You can check out the trailer to English-dubbed version of the anime series below:-



Yukio, known by his friends as "Koyuki", is a regular 14-year-old Japanese high school student. Koyuki's boring life is changed when he saves an odd-looking dog, named Beck, from some kids. Beck's owner turns out to be an emerging rock musician, Ryûsuke Minami, who soon influences Koyuki to start playing the guitar, and even gives one to him. The story focuses on the trials and tribulations of their rock band named BECK, and Koyuki's relationships with the members of the band, in particular Ryûsuke and his sister, Maho.

"BECK" should be released in Japan by the end of the 2010.

Red Band Trailer For "Repo Men"



The red band trailer for the upcoming science fiction thriller "Repo Men" has been released. The film is directed by Miguel Sapochnik and stars Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, Liev Schrieber, Alice Braga, Carice van Houten, Chandler Canterbury and RZA.

In the futuristic action-thriller "Repo Men", humans have extended and improved our lives through highly sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called The Union. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don’t pay your bill, The Union sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property…with no concern for your comfort or survival.

Jude Law plays Remy, one of the best organ repo men in the business. But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company’s top-of-the-line heart-replacement…as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart’s no longer in the job. When he can’t make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy’s former partner Jake (Forest Whitaker), to track him down.

"Repo Men" is scheduled for release in the US on April 2, 2010.

Theatrical Trailer For "The Karate Kid" Remake


The trailer for the upcoming remake "The Karate Kid" has been released by Columbia Pictures. The remake of the 1984 classic of the same name is directed by Harald Zwart and stars Jackie Chan, Jaden Smith and Taraji P. Henson.

The trailer looks surprisingly good, but I strongly feel that the film should not be called "The Karate Kid" if the characters in the film are not using karate. As it is very clear from the trailer that they are practicing kung fu, shouldn't the film be named "The Kung Fu Kid" instead? However, I believe the film is mainly targeted towards the general American audience and unfortunately, they don't really know the difference between Japanese karate and Chinese kung fu. Oh, well...

Official Synopsis:
12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts the "karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends on the strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but to the maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a kung fu master. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realises that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

"The Karate Kid" is scheduled for release in the US on June 11, 2010.
