Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay 2008 Film Wallpapers

The film is planned for release on April 25, 2008 with John Cho and Kal Penn returning as the duo of stoners and Paula Garcés as Harold’s love interest Maria. Neil Patrick Harris also returns as a satirical version of himself.

Sources confirm the film production began the third week of January 2007 in Shreveport, Louisiana, and finished in March.

The premise of the movie involves Kumar Patel, the Indian American protagonist of the original film, being mistaken for a ‘bomb carrying terrorist’ while the pair are trying to use a bong on board a plane en route to Amsterdam. They are incarcerated in a Guantanamo Bay detention camp but manage to escape.

The movie follows their adventures as fugitives from the United States Department of Homeland Security as they travel through Miami to Texas and ultimately find themselves in the ranch-house of President George W. Bush.

Kumar, already being eyed by the other passengers due to his “terrorist” looks, and Harold are tackled by the passengers and sent to the Guantanamo Bay detention center.

Doomsday 2008 Film Wallpapers

Doomsday is an upcoming science fiction film written and directed by Neil Marshall. The film stars Rhona Mitra and Bob Hoskins. Doomsday is set to be released March 14, 2008 in the USA.

Doomsday takes place three decades after a lethal virus called the Reaper nearly wipes out Scotland and causes the rest of the world to wall off the country. When the Reaper begins to emerge in another country 25 years later, an elite team and their leader (Rhona Mitra) are sent to the contaminated landscape of Scotland to find a cure.

Director Neil Marshall originally came up with the idea of Doomsday by having a vision of “a futuristic action warrior fighting a knight in armor”. The story was inspired by post-apocalyptic thriller films that Marshall had grown up watching. He cited as influences the films Mad Max (1979), The Road Warrior (1981), Escape from New York (1981), Metalstorm (1983), The Warriors (1979), Excalibur (1981), and works of director Terry Gilliam like The Fisher King (1991). Rogue Pictures signed Marshall to direct Doomsday in October 2005, and in November 2006, actress Rhona Mitra was signed to star in Doomsday as the leader of the elite team. Production began on February 9, 2007 in South Africa.

On May 1, 2007, filming in the UK commenced at Scotland’s Blackness Castle for a ten-day shoot. Filming also took place in Cape Town and Glasgow. The majority of filming took place in South Africa, with several scenes filmed outside the country in Glasgow.

A massive car chase scene was also filmed for Doomsday, described by Marshall to be one part Mad Max, one part Bullitt (1968), and one part “something else entirely different”. The film also contains the director’s trademark gore and violence from previous films, including a scene where a character is cooked alive and eaten. Paul Hyett, the prosthetic make-up designer who worked on Marshall’s previous film The Descent, contributed to the production, researching diseases including sexually transmitted diseases to design the make-up for victims of the Reaper virus.

Cast:

• Rhona Mitra as Eden Sinclair, the leader of the elite team sent to find a cure. The heroine was inspired by the character Snake Plissken.Mitra worked out and trained in fighting for eleven weeks for the film. Marshall described Mitra’s character as a soldier who has been rendered cold from her military indoctrination, and her journey to find the cure for the virus is one of redemption.
• Bob Hoskins as Bill Nelson, a policeman who nominates Sinclair for the mission and monitors her progress.
• Malcolm McDowell as Kane, a former scientist who found the cure for the virus and now lives as a feudal lord in an abandoned castle. McDowell described his character as a King Lear. According to Marshall, Kane is based on Kurtz from Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. The director originally sought to bring Sean Connery out of retirement to play Kane but was unsuccessful.
• Craig Conway as Sol, the son of Kane and the leader of the Marauders, a renegade gang that was left behind in Scotland.
• Alexander Siddig in an unnamed role.
• Adrian Lester as McNaughton, The DSS Sergeant assigned to be Sinclair’s right arm.
  Rick Warden as Chandler, A DSS Corporal. He is the member of the armoured division and designated APC driver.
• Nora-Jane Noone as Read, A DSS soldier, she is the team mechanic and a designated APC driver.
• Leslie Simpson as Carpenter, DSS Rifleman, his job is to protect the team from whatever lies beyond the walls.
• Chris Robson as Miller, DSS Rifleman. His job is to protect the team from whatever lies beyond the wall.
• Sean Pertwee as Doctor Talbot, part of the task force set up to study the reaper virus. He will do whatever it takes to find a cure, even if it means a journey into the heart of “no man’s land”.

College Road Trip 2008 Film Wallpapers

College Road Trip is an upcoming film produced by Walt Disney Pictures. The movie will star Raven-Symoné (also serving as executive producer) as college-bound teen Melanie Porter, who goes on a road trip to different colleges with her father, a police officer, played by Martin Lawrence.

Melanie is eagerly looking forward to taking her first big step towards independence when she plans a girls only road trip to check out prospective universities. However, when her imposing police-chief dad insists on escorting her instead, she soon finds her dream trip turning into a nightmare full of misfortune and turmoil. Dad wants to assure total security and safety for his precious daughter, while Melanie has a 17-year-olds need to become a grown woman and have her own sense of independence. Now, even as dad and daughter bicker, banter and careen from one disaster to the next on their journey, they are about to discover that, sometimes, going that extra mile to be together can forge a family bond so strong it can withstand anything–even wild curves ahead.

A bunch of dumb redneck jokes, acting like a hillbilly in various places, and the phrase “git-r-done”. During a routine day spent patrolling his small town, sheriff Larry witnesses a beautiful, high-class woman, Madeleine, being held against her will by four mysterious, black-suited men.

Recognizing the opportunity to save the day, Larry kidnaps her, only to learn that Madeleine is actually a key witness in a high-stakes Chicago crime case and her captors are FBI agents assigned to protect her.
