    This dropped a few days ago on various websites, but it got lost in the shuffle here, so we’re a few days behind on this one. Hey, it’s still worth displaying, so here it is regardless of time. This image is our first actual look at what the characters in Tom Hooper’s take on ‘Les Miserables’ could look like. This one is of course of Hugh Jackman (who will be essaying the role of Jean Valjean), but I’d imagine we’ll be seeing more from everyone else in the coming months. As for the image itself, I don’t think it’s particularly good or bad, but after the jump is something from a very different film that it reminds me a lot of and I thought I’d compare it to. You can judge for yourself below…

    I know some of you are as morbidly curious about ‘The Human Centipede’ franchise (yes, it’s a full fledged franchise now) as I am, so this news of tension over script issues between filmmaker Tom Six and his would be returning star Dieter Laser might be of some interest. Apparently, lawsuits are the true horror of ‘The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence)’ not, you know…the other stuff that goes on in the flicks. Anyway, Deadline has a short post on the friction that you can see after the cut. My guess is we still wind up seeing this movie, or at least I will, and it of course won’t be pretty. Mike Fleming has some harsh words to say below for the movie (thoughts I somewhat echo, if you remember my reviews, but he’s a little more blunt about it), so just be aware of that going in…

    This weekend, the odds will not be in favor of the two opening titles vying against The Hunger Games at the box office.  Strong word-of-mouth and momentum of ticket sales throughout the weekdays could see it score a jackpot that may even challenge Avatar’s record for second-weekend grosses.

    That’s not to say its take won’t fall a little, primarily due to competition from films like Wrath of the Titans.  This sequel to Clash of the Titans finds Hollywood butchering Greek mythology yet again, with the Austrailian-accented Perseus leaving his quiet life as a fisherman once more to save the world when the Titans overthrow Zeus.  Despite expressing a desire to continue this franchise, Louis Leterrier is not returning for this installment, instead ceding to Jonathan Liebesman of Darkness Falls and Battle: Los Angeles…which, you know, whatever.  At least according to critics the special effects are an improvement, even if most of them say it is just as soulless and incoherent as the first film.  Audience enthusiasm seems to be weaker than the last one as well, with online activity relatively weak and advance ticket sales being swamped by The Hunger Games, though it does have the advantage of being in more 3D and IMAX theaters.  I’m expecting a $35-40 million weekend take.

    Maybe I’m more curious than most, but I’ve been keeping an eye on the film ‘People Like Us’ (formerly known as ‘Welcome To People’) for a little bit of time now. I haven’t had much to go on, but I’m a sucker for a dysfunctional family flick. The movie now has a Trailer to judge it on, and after the jump you can go ahead and do just that!
