'The Tournament' Trailer is a Ton of Bloody Fun!
Filed under: Action », Independent », Thrillers », Newsstand », Movie Marketing », Trailers and Clips »
In any given action movie, who is the character you remember the most, the guy (or girl) you walk out of the theater desperately wanting to emulate? Isn't it usually the cold-blooded assassin, with tricks and gadgets, and the ability to get in and out of every building and trap? If it's not, you should reevaluate your priorities.
But at any rate, if one assassin is cool, what about an entire movie of assassins? What if they were hunting each other down? Wouldn't that be a movie you'd line up to see? If so, your prayers have been answered with The Tournament which takes that wonderful idea, and runs to blood-and-explosions heaven with it. Directed by Scott Mann, The Tournament centers on a lethal contest that sees the world's finest assassins gather in an unsuspecting town, and try to kill each other off for a cash prize. Collateral damage and corpses abound. This year, one unlucky priest (Robert Carlyle) finds himself an unwilling contestant, and must kill or be killed. It also stars Ving Rhames, Kelly Hu, Ian Somerhalder, Scott Adkins, and Sebastien Foucan.
The trailer is below the jump, and was brought to our attention by our friends at Live for Films. Watch it, and revel in its sheer craziness. Plus, who doesn't love when priests are forced to handle weaponry? Unfortunately, The Tournament doesn't yet have a release date (there seem to be unfounded whispers of it going straight to DVD on October 20), but let's get some online buzz going so we can see it soon.

A Few Scraps of 'Wolverine' News -- New Cast Member Added
Filed under: Action », Casting », 20th Century Fox », Newsstand », Comic/Superhero/Geek », Remakes and Sequels »
It's been quiet on the X-Men Origins: Wolverine front -- too quiet. I demand a new publicity still! But since Hugh Jackman doesn't listen to me (and why should he?), this is all I've got for you.There's been a new casting addition. According to his personal website, British actor Scott Adkins has landed the role of Weapon 11. What a hodgepodge of comics this is going to be! Weapon 11 first showed up in Grant Morrison's New X-Men series, which turned the whole Weapon X story inside out. Turns out, Logan wasn't just Weapon X because it sounded cool -- he was the tenth in a long line of Weapon Plus experimental super soldiers. It caused a bit of controversy and still does, especially as various Marvel characters are revealed to be Weapon Gazillion in every other issue.
The odd thing is, no one knows who Weapon 11 actually is. We just know he is a badass who has managed to beat Sabretooth senseless, which is no small feat. But now we know it was a guy named Scott Adkins. Mystery solved!
