Funny, we were relatively sure that the whole Pirates of the Caribbean series was supposed to be a trilogy — even when that made little sense. But then plots and common sense were never a big part of Pirates, considering that even Johnny Depp, himself, didn't understand what was going on in the second and third pictures. Still, it's the big release for the week and we'd be remiss if we didn't admit we were still going to see it for the following reasons.

As promised, Warner Bros. released today an awesome new theatrical trailer for its latest DC Comics adaptation, director Martin Campbell's Green Lantern. While previous TV spots have focused on Oa, the home of the Green Lantern Corps, or traded space scenes for terrestrial ones, this new trailer has it all — more of Hal Jordan's (Ryan Reynolds) ring-slinging training, more scenes with alien Lanterns Tomar-Re (voiced by Academy Award-winner Geoffrey Rush), Sinestro (Mark Strong), and Kilowog (voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan for the first time), and more Earth-based scenes with Hal's boss and love interest, Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), and his big-brained human nemesis, Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard). Even Angela Bassett and Academy Award–winner Tim Robbins get some screen time in the new trailer as Dr. Amanda Waller and Senator Hammond, respectively.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Geoffrey Rush has joined the cast of director Martin Campbell's Green Lantern adaptation. Rush won't exactly appear on screen, instead providing the voice of Tomar-Re, a bird-beaked alien member of the Green Lantern Corps.
The character of Tomar-Re appears briefly appears in the movie's first and only trailer, and reportedly will teach Hal Jordan, a.k.a. Green Lantern (Ryan Reynolds), how to use his new-found powers. For those not familiar with the comic books, the Green Lantern Corps is a intergalactic peace-keeping force, and Jordan becomes the first Earthling to be a Green Lantern.
Warner Bros. confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Rush has already recorded the voice of Tomar-Re for the movie, which is fortunate since the movie debuts on June 17. Rush joins a cast that already includes Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Tim Robbins, Mark Strong, and Angela Bassett, though, considering Rush's work is limited to a recording booth, will likely meet his co-stars at the premiere.

Academy Award-winning actor Geoffrey Rush will end the year in two projects that seem polar opposites: One is the British period drama The King's Speech, which many, including us, think will be a lock for Rush to get another Oscar nomination; and The Warrior's Way, a blend of the Western and martial arts genres written and directed by newcomer Sngmoo Lee. The King's Speech opened over the weekend in limited release; The Warrior's Way opens December 3. Rush explained to Movieline the delay for the movie, which was shot in "late-2007 into early-2008."
Visually, it’s an extraordinary piece of work, and we were working within the studio’s set, but I’d say 90 percent of the film happens in a permanent sense of sunset. Because of its very conscious Asian aesthetic, it just has a red, twilight sky throughout it all of the time. I think in post-production the financial crises hit, and the budget kind of went a bit wonky because of the amount of CGI that was needed.

It's not uncommon for Oscar buzz to begin at the Toronto Film Festival — such was the case for Slumdog Millionaire, Precious, Crash, and Hotel Rwanda. This year, one of the movies that's being mentioned as an awards contender is The King's Speech, which tells the story of England's King George VI (Colin Firth) and the speech therapist (Geoffrey Rush) who helped him overcome his impediment. As part of our coverage of the festival, ReelzChannel correspondent Matt Mauro sat down with both actors.

A new, and most likely final, poster for Watchmen director Zack Snyder's upcoming 3-D flick Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole has been released online. The animated owl movie — from the same studio that made Happy Feet and set for theater release on September 24th — features an impressive cast of Hollywood voices, including Hugo Weaving (The Lord of the Rings), Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Geoffrey Rush (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Helen Mirren (The Queen).
The group of owls on the poster — each with varying degrees of cuteness — stand next to a piece of owl head armor. A fantasy-world landscape looms in the background, in what looks like a cross between Narnia and Middle Earth. But this is not a Hollywood mash-up. Legend of the Guardians is based on the first three books in the Guardians of Ga'hoole series, penned by Kathryn Lasky in 2003. The story follows a young Barn Owl Soren (voiced by 21's Jim Sturgess), who is snatched by evil owls from St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls. Soren eventually escapes to the island of Ga'hoole and joins other owls in the war against the Academy.

In the strange, fourth wall-breaking video message from Johnny Depp to the assembled masses at the San Diego Comic-Con, in which he appeared in character as Captain Jack Sparrow, Depp mentioned his Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides co-star, Penelope Cruz, by name. Almost as if on cue, several "spy pics" from the Hawaiian set of On Stranger Tides have surfaced online, offering up a first look of Cruz in costume as Angelica, a mysterious woman from Sparrow's past.
