The Last Airbender is an upcoming adventure-fantasy film based on the first season of the highly successful animated television series, Avatar: The Last Airbender. It is a live-action film adaptation of the animated television series produced by Paramount Pictures, MTV Films, and Nickelodeon Movies. It is planned to be the first film in the The Last Airbender trilogy. The series, influenced by Asian art, mythology and various martial arts fighting styles, was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, and was adapted by the Razzies-winning M. Night Shyamalan (The Village, Lady in the Water, Signs, The Happening), who will also direct and produce the film along with Frank Marshall, Kathleen Kennedy, Sam Mercer and Scott Aversano. The movie is scheduled to be released on July 2, 2010.

The film stars Noah Ringer as Aang, a reluctant hero who prefers adventure over his job as the Avatar. Aang, and his friends Katara and Sokka journey to the North Pole to find a Waterbending master to teach Aang and Katara the secrets of the craft. At the same time, Fire Lord Ozai, the current Fire Lord of the Fire Nation, is waging a seemingly endless war against the Earth Kingdom, the Water Tribes, and the already vanquished Air Nomads. The film also stars Nicolas Peltz, Jackson Rathbone, and Dev Patel.

The Plot:

Andy (John Morris) is heading off to college, and his toys, including Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz (Tim Allen), are worried about their uncertain future.

The toys are then picked up by the garbage men.

After some twists and turns, the toys are accidentally donated to Sunnyside Daycare Center. There, they befriend such toys, such as Lots-O’-Huggin’ “Lotso” Bear (Ned Beatty), a porcupine doll named Mr. Pricklepants the Porcupine (Timothy Dalton), and a smooth-talking Ken doll (Michael Keaton).

The toys are keen on starting a new life at the daycare. It isn’t long before they discover that Andy is actively searching for them, so they decide to escape — but to make things complicated, the toys soon discover that some of their new friends aren’t as friendly as they thought.

To make matters further complicated, Buzz is damaged during an escape attempt. The toys try to reset Buzz, only to make him revert to a delusional Spanish version of his old self, much to the other toys’ discomfort and Jessie’s amazement.

Now, the toys must get home in time before Andy leaves.

Produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures, Toy Story 3 is the third installment in the Toy Story series and is scheduled for release on June 18, 2010.

Forever After (formerly Shrek Goes Fourth) is the final film in the Dreamworks’ most successful animated franchise “Shrek”. It is set to hit cinemas on May 21, 2010 in the US and July 9, 2010 in the UK and the rest of the world. Tim Sullivan writes the script while Mike Mitchell is at the helm.

The principal cast members–Mike Myers as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey, Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots, Walt Dohrn as Rumpelstiltskin and Dame Julie Andrews as Queen Lillian–will all reprise their roles.

Like the first three Shrek films, the movie will be significantly based on fairy tale themes. Here’s the plot of Shrek Forever After:

Shrek (Mike Myers) has become a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, the grown-reluctant ogre agrees to autograph pitch forks. Longing for the days when he felt like a “real ogre”, Shrek is tricked into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumplestiltskin is king, the now intellectual Donkey (Eddie Murphy) is afraid of Shrek, Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) is obese and lazy, Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) is still alive, and Shrek and Fiona (Cameron Diaz) have never met. Now, it’s up to Shrek to undo all of Rumpelstiltskin’s mischief in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world, and reclaiming his One True Love and family.

Avatar is set to hit theaters worldwide on December 16, 2009. The film is Lightstorm Entertainment’s latest project, and focuses on an epic conflict on a far-away world called Pandora, where humans and the native species of Pandora, the Na’vi, engage in a war over the planet’s resources and existence.

Starring in Avatar the movie are Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Michelle Rodriguez, Stephen Lang and Sigourney Weaver.

About The Movie:

James Cameron wrote his first script treatment for Avatar way back in 1994 — and, were it not for a projected budget too big for even the director of Titanic to command, he would have brought it to screens a full decade ago. Things didn’t work out back then, but the slowdown allowed technology to catch up with Cameron’s sweeping vision for a story involving global warfare, distant worlds, and a blue-skinned, ten-foot-tall alien species — all presented in 3-D. If you like your movies big, they don’t come much bigger than this; in fact, if it’s as amazing as it’s cracked up to be, Avatar will even live up to more than a decade of crushing hype for the follow-up to one of the highest-grossing films of all time. No pressure or anything, right?

Plot:

The story’s protagonist, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), is a former Marine who was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down in combat on Earth after crashing a friend’s car when swerving to miss a possum[citation needed]. Jake is selected to participate in the Avatar program, which will enable him to walk. Jake travels to Pandora, a lush jungle-covered extraterrestrial moon filled with incredible life forms, some beautiful, many terrifying. Pandora is also home to the Na’vi, a sentient humanoid race, who are considered primitive, yet are more physically capable than humans. Standing three meters tall (approximately 10 feet), with tails and sparkling blue skin, the Na’vi live in harmony with their unspoiled world. As humans encroach deeper into Pandora’s forests in search of valuable minerals, the Na’vi unleash their formidable warrior abilities to defend their threatened existence.

Jake has unwittingly been recruited to become part of this encroachment. Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Na’vi hybrids known as Avatars. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake will be able to walk again. Sent deep into Pandora’s jungles as a scout for the soldiers that will follow, Jake encounters many of Pandora’s beauties and dangers. There he meets a young Na’vi female, Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña).

Over time, Jake integrates himself into the Na’vi clan, and begins to fall in love with Neytiri. As a result, Jake finds himself caught between the military-industrial forces of Earth and the Na’vi, forcing him to choose sides in an epic battle that will decide the fate of Pandora forever.

From the makers of “Walang Kawala” and “Heavenly Bodies” come another film that tackles men’s issues with a gay twist. The film is directed by Joel Lamangan and produced by Manny Valera. It is topbilled by the frontal nudity king Marco Morales and newcomer Jay Dizon. Also starring in the movie are Mhyco Aquino, Miggy Valdez, Sherwin Ordoñez, Jao Mapa and Niña Jose.

Guided by their gay manager Didi (Jao Mapa), they spend the next few months before their trip bonding as friends who share a common dream of finding greener pastures in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Michael worked as a dancer in Japan when he was still a minor, using a fictitious name and a forged passport. He makes sure his recruiter doesn’t find out he’s not a first-timer to Japan like the rest of the guys. Benjo seeks to escape a cruel stepfather and find his missing older brother, a musician turned illegal alien in Japan. Alvin is Didi’s lover, who openly expresses his affections for his benefactor while hoping to make his own money in Japan.

The two members who share choreographic duties, Jake and Rico, quickly develop a secret romance. Problem is, Jake lives with his devoted girlfriend Jenny (Niña Jose), who supports him financially. On top of his romantic quandary, Jake is soon discovered to have a heart ailment, jeopardizing his chances of joining the group’s trip to Japan.

As a former Japayuki himself, Didi knows a stint in Japan hardly guarantees a financial windfall for the group. So he enlists the members in a networking company that has been giving him ample dividends. Unfortunately, the company collapses without warning. It ruins Didi and threatens to dissolve not just his relationship with Alvin but the group itself. Violence erupts on the eve of their trip, which could shatter the dreams of the Dreamguyz.
