Green Band trailer for Movie 43
We saw a red band trailer for Movie 43 earlier this month which contained profanity, boobs, and about 30 familiar faces ranging from Gerard Butler, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Naomi Watts, Emma Stone and Liev Schreiber.

Now Relativity Media have released a regular green band trailer which still contains some of the cleaner material, but there’s some extra stuff thrown in there too. Still no plot in sight, but I don’t think this is a movie that aimed for one in the first place.
Watch the trailer below:

Gerard Butler to star in Chetnik movie?
Blic reports that Scottish lawyer-turned-actor Gerard Butler could star in a movie recalling the sacrifice that Chetnik resistance fighters made in 1944 when they rescued hundreds of US airmen from the Nazis.

Serbian producer Marko Mišković is currently negotiating with Hollywood partners to produce the movie about this little-known event which, if produced, would surely cast new light on the tremendous contribution made by Chetnik fighters to the Allied cause. Villagers from Pranjani – where the airlift for Operation Halyard was staged – risked their own lives and shared what precious little they had to save the US airmen.

Gerard was critically acclaimed in Phantom of the Opera which was followed with leading roles in chick-flick PS I Love You and  Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla. He also starred alongside Ralph Fiennes in a movie production of Shakepeare’s Coriolanus which was filmed on location in Belgrade.  The actor is said to have loved his time in Belgrade and there are rumours of a romantic attachment he forme with Serbian actress Martina Rajić.

Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Dennis Quaid star in “Playing For Keeps,” a romantic comedy about a charming, down-on-his luck former soccer star (Butler) who returns home to put his life back together. Looking for a way to rebuild his relationship with his son, he gets roped into coaching the boy’s soccer team. But his attempts to finally become an “adult” are met with hilarious challenges from the attractive “soccer moms” who pursue him at every turn. “Playing For Keeps” is directed by Gabriele Muccino, the director of “The Pursuit of Happiness.”

The movie hits theatres on December 7, 2012. Be sure to check out their Facebook and Twitter pages too.

Gerard Butler: first look at 'Movie 43' and Big Brothers, Big Sisters appeal

• First look at 'Movie 43'

Movie 43 is a prime example why it is good to have red-band, NSFW trailers. Had this just been a green-band trailer the comedy wouldn’t look nearly as funny (or off-the-wall). An anthology flick in the tradition of The Kentucky Fried Movie and with a cast that looks to rival It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, the comedy looks completely nuts. 

Hopefully, this is a good thing, as looks can be deceiving. Heaven help us if this is something like the craptastic spoofs (if you can call them that) of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer of Date Movie and Epic Movie infamy. 

Sporting celebrities from Johnny Knoxville to Kate Winslet, this raunchy comedy took four years to make.When I first heard of the production I was intrigued because of the talent assembled, wondering why celebrities like Hugh Jackman and Naomi Watts would be involved with such a project. But then I remembered: sometimes actors like to take a break and do something off the beaten path and act stupidly for a change. 

This red-band trailer below will either make you laugh or cringe at the comic exploits. But even if you can’t make heads or tails of the vignettes, you should at least crack a smile. I mean who could resist Naomi Watts telling her home-schooled son, “You dropped your books, f–kface” as she passes him on the stairs?

• Stars of Chasing Mavericks for Big Brothers Big Sisters

Actors Gerard Butler and Jonny Weston invite you to change a child's life for the better, forever, with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Butler and Weston star in the upcoming 20th Century Fox and Walden Media film CHASING MAVERICKS.

CHASING MAVERICKS is the inspirational true story of surfing phenom Jay Moriarity (Weston). When 15 year old Jay discovers that the mythic Mavericks surf break, one of the biggest waves on Earth, is near his Santa Cruz home, he enlists the help of local legend Frosty Hesson (Butler) to train him to survive it. As Jay and Frosty embark on their quest to do the impossible, they form a unique friendship that transforms their lives, and their quest to tame Mavericks becomes about more than surfing. Chasing Mavericks was made with the help of some of the biggest names in the surfing world, and features some of the most mind-blowing wave footage ever captured on film.
