Just when you thought it was safe to try and forget about director Tom Six’s rather unique take on ATM in The Human Centipede (First Sequence), along comes a promo for Six’s next chapter in the saga entitled The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence). Event though some may be offended by the first film or what it contains, we’re going to go ahead and show you the new promo anyway in the interest of presenting you with lots of choices on how to spend your entertainment dollar.

If you recall the first film, it follows two rather unfortunate American girls who are kidnapped by a German surgeon. Then, along with a Japanese man, they are surgically transformed into a gory centipede-like creature. Yes, its just about as disturbing as you can imagine.

According to Six, The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) will steer away from “realism” this time and instead promises to be “pretty nasty.” Did he not see the first film?

“I had so many ideas that I couldn’t fit them all in the movie,” the director told IFC. “I wanted the audience to get used to this crazy centipede. Now, in ‘Part 2,’ I can use all my ideas. So everything is in it this time. I don’t hold back anything.” I guess he was holding back with part one? This should be interesting. And by interesting I mean even more disturbing.

The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) is due in 2011 but if you’re curious now (and after the above why wouldn’t you be?) check out the promo after the break.

Even though his film Battle: Los Angeles hasn’t even been released yet, director Jonathan Liebesman has apparently already lined up his next job. That job? Director of the sequel to Clash of the Titans which, at this moment, is cleverly entitled Clash of the Titans 2.

According to Deadline, the director was in talks for the film over the weekend and through yesterday but those negotiations stalled because of, you guessed it, money. But now it seems all is well and they’ve been able to reach an agreement to make a sequel to a film that most people, including a majority of critics, had nothing but bad things to say about.

Unfortunately, the sequel was inevitable considering both of the film’s leads (Sam Worthington and Gemma Aterton) survived and the movie, in spite of its negative reviews and terrible conversion to 3D, made a crap load of money worldwide. I’m hopeful the studio will do better this time and am encouraged by at least one other fact that’s come out during this dealmaking process: They will shoot the film in 3D instead of converting it later.

That alone should improve things considerably. Now if we could just do something about the lame story, wooden acting and uninspired direction . . . then we’d really be onto something. Too snarky? I can never tell.

According to an interview with MTV, Ivan Reitman, who directed the first two Ghostbusters movies and some misfires such as My Super Ex-Girlfriend, and the David Duchovny starrer Evolution, will indeed return to direct the third film in the Ghostbusters franchise. He also mentioned that the first draft script from Year One writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky is completed and they are currently at work on another draft.

Regarding rumors from stars Harold Ramis, who said the movie is hopefully to be filmed in time for a 2011 release, and Sigourney Weaver who said Bill Murray’s character would be returning as a ‘Slimer’-like ghost, Reitman kept silent saying he didn’t want to talk about what “cool things” were in the script or what may have been said about it. He did say that he’s hoping to film sometime in the coming year, which fits with hopefully having the movie out next year.

Ghostbusters 3 is set to definitely star Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Sigourney Weaver with Murray, Annie Potts and the retired Rick Moranis all rumored to be returning as well. The story is supposedly about the older generation of Ghostbusters handing the reins over to a younger generation including, again according to Weaver, her movie son ‘Oscar’ who should be all grown-up now.

That’s right people, the wait is over and we’ve got our first glimpse of the new trailer for the eagerly anticipated film Iron Man 2. After solving the puzzle with clues given out from around the Internets, fans were taken to a special site where a link to the trailer’s first appearance was revealed.

And now, following that link, we can get to see the new, improved, and rocking Tony Stark-filled Iron Man 2 trailer in all of its glory. In the trailer we’re treated to some great glimpses of the movie and most of the stars including Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke, Don Cheadle and, of course, Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark. There’s also a lot of action and all the fun you would expect from a trailer, and a movie, like this.

Glad to see things seem to be on track for a blockbuster sequel. We can hardly wait for more. Sadly, we will have to wait for the movie until May 7, 2010 but after seeing this first trailer, I know its gonna be worth it.

Greetings programs. Here it is, the first poster, image and synopsis for Disney’s long-awaited Tron sequel, entitled Tron Legacy. We’ve been bringing info about this movie since way back in July during Comic-Con in San Diego. Now, we’ve got the first official poster art to share, and it looks pretty awesome.

In addition to the poster, we’ve got the first official image from the film and the new synopsis just released by Disney. I won’t keep you in suspense any longer, here’s all the scoop on the film’s story:

Tron Legacy is 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (GARRETT HEDLUND), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (JEFF BRIDGES), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant Quorra (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey of escape across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

Once again, that seems pretty awesome. Check out the full, high resolution poster after the jump as well as the first image. Tron Legacy hits theaters in December of 2010.

Hot on the heels of his summer blockbuster Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino announced recently that he is planning on making a third Kill Bill film. According to Variety, Tarantino announced the sequel Saturday at the Morelia Film Festival, where he was promoting Basterds.

There, he said that there would be a ten year gap between Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Kill Bill Vol. 3 to give Uma Thurman’s character, “The Bride” and her daughter Beebe some well-deserved peace. This would slate the project for a 2014 release.

Before he turns bloody with the next Kill Bill film, Tarantino said he was “wide open” to what his next project would be. At a conference alongside Eli Roth, Tarantino talked about “re-imagining” of a number of film genres, including a Western or a 1920s “Pretty Boy Floyd” kind of gangster movie. Inglorious Basterds continues to perform at the box office, earning $1.4 million in its 7th weekend in theaters.

We’ll be sure to keep you posted here at The Flickcast on Tarantino’s upcoming projects and any other exciting movie news.
