Martin Scorsese’s SILENCE tells the story of two Christian missionaries (Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver) who face the ultimate test of faith when they travel to Japan in search of their missing mentor (Liam Neeson) – at a time when Christianity was outlawed and their presence forbidden. The celebrated director’s 28-year journey to bring Shusaku Endo’s 1966 acclaimed novel to life will be in theaters this Christmas.
Here’s the new SILENCE poster:
Keanu Reeves makes an explosive return to action-adventure in 47 RONIN.
After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and restore honor to their people. Driven from their homes and dispersed across the land, this band of Ronin must seek the help of Kai (Reeves) – a half-breed they once rejected – as they fight their way across a savage world of mythic beasts, shape-shifting witchcraft and wondrous terrors.
As this exiled, enslaved outcast becomes their most deadly weapon, he will transform into the hero who inspires this band of outnumbered rebels to seize eternity.
In theaters this Christmas, check out the new trailer.
There have been other films also about the forty-seven Ronin including The 47 Ronin (1941),The Loyal 47 Ronin (1958), 47 Samurai (1962), Fall of Ako Castle (1978), 47 Ronin (1994) and The Last Chusingura (2010).
Helmed by director Carl Rinsch (The Gift), 47 RONIN is produced by Pamela Abdy (Identity Thief, upcoming Endless Love) and Eric McLeod (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Austin Powers series).
Universal Pictures tears the roof off when 47 RONIN unleashes in the theaters, December 25.

Synopsis:
Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the epic adventure, THOR, which spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and is forced to live among humans. A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It’s while here on Earth that Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
From Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures, THOR will be in theaters in May 6, 2011.
Okay, Looks like the fine folks at Marvel and Paramount Studios have released some new photos from the upcoming film. Of course you all know that THOR will be in theaters in May 6, 2011. Course you do! Up above we have a shot of our thunder god (Chris Hemsworth) in a rare peaceful moment with his sneaky half-brother Loki, the god of mischief (Tom Hiddleston). Check your back, Thor! Loki might’ve stuck a “banish me” sign on the back of your red cape! Down below we have the magical armoured destroyer facing down Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and the forces of S.H.I.E.L.D. somewhere in the New Mexico desert. Hey Coulson, this is not one of Stark’s!
Speaking of banishment, below is a shot of the all-mighty father Odin ( Anthony Hopkins ) using Thor’s hammer to expell him from Asgard.
Tough to tell on this next one. I believe it’s Thor and his fellow warriors about to defend Asgard from the Frost Giants.
Below, it appears that the Destroyer is approaching the sleepy little desert town where Thor has landed.
Is Loki holding a dark magic device that will help him take over all the worlds?
And here’s the majestic guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, Heimdall played by Idris Elba.
And another shot of Loki, no doubt plotting again!
Showdown on main street! Thor marches defends his adopted home against the Destroyer.
A bit of beefcake! Hurling that hammer really bulks a guy up!
A rare quiet moment between Thor and Dr. Jane Foster (Natalie Portman).
If you bump into some giant trolls, better hope she’s got your back. The beautiful swords-woman, Sif (Jaimie Alexander).
Dr. Foster behind the wheel.
Here’s Professor Andrews (Stellan Skarsgard) and Darcy (Kat Dennings) back at the research facility.
