There’s a new international trailer for Tony Kaye’s Detachment starring Adrien Brody as Henry Barthes, a teacher with a talent to connect with the students perfectly, but spends his time hiding his gift and poses as a substitute teacher. Henry avoids any emotional connection with the students (and his colleagues). The nature of his job lets him leave before the going gets tough until he finds himself in a public school where he quickly becomes a role model for the students and he meets someone who forces him to connect, to be present until he realizes he doesn’t have to be alone in the world.

In addition to Brody, the film stars James Caan, Marcia Gay Harden, Christina Hendricks, Lucy Liu, Blythe Danner, Tim Blake Nelson, Bryan Cranston and William Petersen.

I’ve been talking about Detachment since last April when it was shown at the Tribeca Film Festival, in fact it’s been travelling around to the smaller festivals all year.  I really can’t wait to see it. France, it seems will be giving it a wide release starting February 1. It will be available in the US via VOD starting February 24. It’ still supposed to get a theatrical run, but I’m guessing it will be very limited.

I should have known, since there was too much activity surrounding Bel Ami, after such a long period of nothing, that a trailer was coming soon! Bel Ami is the latest adaptation of the novel by Guy de Maupassant, starring Robert Pattinson as Georges Duroy, a man of modest means who basically sleeps his way through Parisian high-society during the period known as La Belle Epoque. The women in question are Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci. The costumes and production design are enough to get me into the theater. An international trailer has just dropped today and you can watch it below thanks to MSN.

Bel Ami, directed by Nick Oremerod and Declan Donnellan has been filmed seven times before, dating all the way back to 1919 (although four of those were for French television.) The film also stars Colm Meaney, Holliday Grainger, Philip Glenister, Pip Torrens and James Lance. It finally has a couple of release dates, all in Europe: 2^nd March in the UK, 27^th June in France. Nothing for the US…yet.

Yesterday we reported that a story had come out alleging that some of the products the Kardashian Klan put their names behind (including ShoeDazzle) were manufactured in sweatshops in China under atrocious conditions. Well it turns out Charles Kernaghan, executive director for Institute for Global Labour and Human Rights has not actually been in these factories and only ASSUMED this based on China's track record. He admitted all on TMZ yesterday and it has angered Mama Bear (Kris Jenner) so much so that she is going to sue his ass. If you think about it, for an executive at his level it wasn't very smart to make an assumption in the press that could be so slanderous in nature. But his reasoning is he's been investigating this type of things for years and felt comfortable enough to make that assumption.

Kris Jenner insists that the factories the products they back are made in are policed and inspected on a regular basis and there is absolutely NO child slave labor happening in their factories. She is apparently so furious she is going to be suing. I think it's a safe assumption The Star is going to be sued for putting this story on the cover. 

Game Change is a made for HBO-movie about John McCain’s selection of then (unknown) Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate during the 2008 Presidential Campaign.  Julianne Moore plays Palin and Ed Harris plays Sen. McCain. The likenesses are scary. In fact, Moore is almost as good as Tina Fey. Check out the teaser below.

The film is directed by Jay Roach of Austin Powers franchise fame, Meet the Parents and its spawn as well as Dinner for Schmucks. He also directed Recount for HBO in which Laura Dern did a crazy scary Katherine Harris. Game Change was written by Danny Strong (Recount), from a book by Mark Halperin. It also stars Woody Harrelson as McCain's campaign manager Steve Schmidt, along with Sarah Paulson, Peter MacNicol, Ron Livingston, Jamey Sheridan, Bruce Altman and Alex Hyde-White.  Game Change premieres on HBO in March.

We have some fantastic new images from Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut, In the Land of Blood & Honey. The actress also wrote the story of two Bosnians, Lejla, a Muslim woman and Danijel, a Serbian man, lovers before the war, who are separated only to be brought back together when Lejla is imprisoned at a POW camp where Danijel is a guard. The film was given a December release date, prime awards season territory, way back in the spring. The film did, however, remain a mystery as to whether it was actually any good or the FilmDistrict had picked it up because Jolie's name would invite the curious.

The first trailer made the film look like the real deal. It's definitely a love story set against the backdrop of war, but it speaks to some larger issues, specifically trust, as well. Jolie has been quoted as saying, "The film is specific to the Bosnian War, but it’s also universal. I wanted to tell a story of how human relationships and behavior are deeply affected by living inside a war."

The most well-known name in the cast is Rade Serbedzija (The Saint, Snatch, X-Men: First Class). Danijel and Lejla (Ajla) are played by Goran Kostic (The Hunting Party, Taken, Of Gods and Men) and Zana Marjanovic (who’s got such a beautiful open face). I'm anxious to see the film to judge for myself, but from what I’ve seen so far, I get the impression that Jolie knows what she's doing behind the camera as well as in front of it. In the Land of Blood & Honey opens December 23 in limited release (NY & LA) and in other parts of the world next Spring.
