Warner Bros. Gives Us A Peek At Their 2009 Movies

Fresh on the heels of the Sherlock Holmes pictures that surfaced earlier today, Collider now has a release from Warner Bros. with a look at several more of their 2009 releases. Included are stills we've seen before from WB tentpoles such as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Watchmen, and Terminator: Salvation, but they've also got new pictures up for some other notable films. Click on through to see images from Seth Rogen's Observe and Report, Nick Cassavetes' My Sister's Keeper, Zac Efron's 17 Again, Peter Sarsgaard and Vera Farmiga's The Orphan, Robert Rodriguez's Shorts, Kate Beckinsale's Whiteout, Steven Soderbergh and Matt Damon's The Informant, Richard Kelly's The Box, and my personal favorite, Spike Jonze's much-delayed Where The Wild Things Are. Expect more stills from the other studios in the next few days.

Seth Rogen Updates Us On Observe And Report, Funny People, And The Green Hornet

Collider talked recently with Seth Rogen about some of his upcoming projects. The biggest news comes about Observe And Report. The film, written and directed by Foot Fist Way's Jody Hill, centers around a mall security cop who "wages war on the cops." Apparently, the comedy is so outlandish and potentially offensive that there were concerns that the studio would completely neuter the movie. Warner Bros. has kept a pretty tight seal on this one, but it looks like the test screenings of the uncut version are actually performing better than the edited version, so it's looking like we'll be getting the completely un-neutered version of the movie. He also talks a bit about the upcoming Judd Apatow-directed Funny People, in which he stars with Adam Sandler and Leslie Mann, and how it was working with acclaimed cinematographer Janusz Kaminski (Spielberg's DP). He also says to expect a few cameos from notable stand-up comedians. Lastly, he mentions a bit about The Green Hornet, and how the collaboration with Stephen Chow has been going well despite some understandable language barriers. If things go Rogen's way, he'll have some footage to show at next year's Comic-Con.
