Sam Worthington in Clash of the Titans appears on the cover of Empire Magazine’s next issue. In the article you will see lots of pictures and the scoop on all the cast and crew, starting with director Louis Leterrier to Gemma Arterton. Arternon plays the goddess.
Clash of the Titans promises to be more gritter and dirtier. I am sure the CGI will be awesome!
Empire Magazine is calling the movie 2010’s hottest blockbuster, but I don’t know. Seeing is believing.

With this summer looking crammed with blockbusters, it will be interesting to see who will sink or swim. One film I have my doubts about is Star Trek, a prequel to the original TV series. Even with JJ Abrams, creator of Lost and Cloverfield, directing the project, the brand of Star Trek just feels too stale to really make a comeback. The lack of success of the last series, Enterprise, was a testament to the lack of interest in the franchise.
However, UK film mag Empire managed to nab an early viewing and have posted a review on their website. And the reaction is very positive. On the pros it seems that JJ Abrams has completely revitalised the Star Trek world. Rather than stick to the old pace of debate and contemplation, with the occasional battle or deadline, Abrams has created an assault on the eyeball, full of action, thrills, and even laughs.
On the negative, however, in losing this contemplative nature the film may indeed alienate all of the fans of the original series. According to the review, the breakneck speed of the film leaves little for character (a strange choice, considering the plot follows the origins of the original characters), and apparently the actor playing Kirk (Karl Urban Chris Pine!) isn’t particularly strong.
The world will find out how the film fares next month, but right now it seems to be a question of whether new fans of a franchise they know little of will outnumber the hard-core trekkies who will see this film as sacrilege.

Empire Magazine latest issue features 2009 movies. One film that has been the talk of the Internet with amateur video feeds and rumors of all sorts is the anticipated blockbuster Transformers. Thus, Michael Bay’s sequel is on the front cover of Empire, which is on sale now.
You can click on the magazine cover and go to the exclusive Cairo set of the film in the issue and take a look at some limited images from the film that Internet hasn’t been graced with yet.

Hugh Jackman looks pumped and angst. From the looks of his bod, he must do interval training. I’d live to think he does kickboxing. Sure he lifts to get those awesome arms; he’s not bulky, though.
Jackman is also on the cover of Empire Magazine. That’s where this photo originated.
If you pick up the next copy of Empire, you’ll get the lowdown on X-Men Origins: Wolverine: Hugh Jackman, director Gavin Hood, Liev Schreiber (who plays Victor Creed) and more.
