And it’s looking very cool. Typical Michael Bay fashion, there’s a lot of nice explosions and tasty effects, but best of all, there’s that vintage Transforming noise from the cartoon. Which made me wish I had Autobots bedsheets again. However, why aren’t any of the Transformers talking? Has the recent lip-gate scandal encouraged Bay to write in some robot vow of silence?

Earlier, we received an excited press packet from Paramount, telling us that Jerry Seinfeld had unexpectedly leaped off a hotel in Cannes dressed as a bumblebee. This was no flamboyant suicide attempt, but a promotional stunt for Dreamworks’ new animated flick, Bee Movie, written and starring the comic turned costumed lunatic. There’s been a lot of buzz around this movie (that was unintentional, really) and now the full trailer has gone online. Let’s hope this is a Shrek not a Shark Tale. And if you haven’t already seen the hilarious teaser trailers, check them out here.

The trailer for this year’s Cannes opener has gone online. Kar Wai Wong’s first English speaking film stars singer Norah Jones as a woman who takes a soul-searching trip across America and meets lots of interesting characters including Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Tim Roth and David Strathairn. There’s huge interest in this film over at the Cannes festival, and unfortunately, the trailer is nice but unyielding, so don’t expect to get too excited.

Variety are reporting that the two titans will reteam for cop thriller, Righteous Kill. The film will see the two starring as a pair of detectives hot on the trail of a presumably nasty serial killer. And no, despite the title, it was never a Steven Seagal project.

Exciting! Just imagine the hilarious buddy banter the two will have. It’ll be like a verbal tennis match of supreme cynic hilarity, acted with all the gusto of a gaggle of stampeding steamrollers (and the simile award goes to…)

The film will begin shooting on August 6 and is being directed by Jon Avnet, with Inside Man scribe Russell Gerwitz penning the script.

We love Jason Bateman here at the ATTIC. The untimely demise of Arrested Development brought many a tearful moment. But thankfully, after a recent stream of small roles, he’s finally cracking the big screen. Again (let’s not forget Teen Wolf Too). And now he’s reteaming with Smokin’ Aces man Joe Carnahan for The Remarkable Fellows.

Bateman came up with the idea for the film, in which two brothers take over the family ‘revenge’ business, while on the set for Smokin’ Aces.

“The revenge scenario is dependent on the intricacy of the plot,” Bateman told Variety. “If the president of a major bank was sleeping with the French ambassador’s wife, the banker would call these guys.” Sounds good to us.
