New openings this week include I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry with Adam Sandler and Kevin James. It should top the boxoffice charts for this weekend with HP and transformers coming in not far behind. Also debuting is Sunshine the new Space Based Danny Boyle sci-fi film with Chris Evans, Maggie Q and Cillian Murphy. If you are looking for a little break from the summer of the return of the boxoffice monsters, you might want to check out an offbeat comedy called cashback the will go into limitied release( if you can find it. They are not kidding when they say limited).
It features insomnia, overnight shift, supermarket workers, half naked women. What's not to love.

Wonder what Zack Snyder has been doing with the benifit of the doubt that he got after his rendition of 300 turned into the first big hit of the year 2007. He is currently in pre-production on another comic turned movie. This time he will be adapting the 1987 comic masterpiece "Watchmen". It was written by Alan Moore as an attempt to create a comic "Moby Dick" to change the preception of comics in the US and UK as a juvenile medium. Along with Frank Miller's "The Dark Knigt Returns", it was very much responsible for doing just that and much more. While casting has begun no actors are attached to the project as of yet, but it is likely to draw a first rate cast. Click below to hear a clip of Synder discuss the non involvement of Tom Cruise it the project.

So what is Cloverfield and why is it getting more buzz than the summer blockbuster(transformers) just launched by the same studio (paramount). Cloverfield is the working title of a secret JJ Abrams project that became the hottest fan-boy topic on the internet when its trailer preceded showings of the film Transformers this week.
Clips of the trailer were briefly posted to You Tube but quickly came down at the request of Paramount. Descriptions and discussion of the trailer are available and easily located at multliple sites but if you plan to see Transformers this weekend or don't mind waiting for Paramount to make the trailers officially available, then I suggest you wait for the real thing.
The movie, which may be called Parasite, involves an attack on Manhattan by a giant monster. The beast is not seen in the clip but the roars heard during the trailer have the blogosphere atwitter with speculation and the scene with the disembodied head of the Statue of Liberty hurtling through lower manhattan has them abuzz with anticipation.

Should be interesting to watch this campaign unfold. Some information may eventually be available on the films official website, http://www.1-18-08.com/ , but currently there are only two photos there.
