In a relatively short amount of time, twenty-nine year old actor Cam Gigandet has established himself as one of the most sought after actors of his generation. He first gained attention for his role on the popular Fox series The O.C. before taking his talents to the big screen in films like Who’s Your Caddy? and Never Back Down. But it was his role as James in Twilight, the first installment of the extremely popular vampire series, which made him a household name. Since then, he has appeared in an array of popular and successful films such as Easy A, Burlesque, The Roommate, and last summer’s Priest. Now Gigandet returns to the big screen opposite Oscar winners Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas) and Nicole Kidman (The Hours) in Joel Schumacher’s (The Lost Boys) Trespass, which opens in theaters on October 14^th.

In the film, Cage plays Kyle; a successful diamond broker whose obsession with work is threatening his marriage to Sarah, played by Kidman. Things go from bad to worse quickly when Kyle’s family, including his only daughter, is suddenly taken hostage in their own home by extortionists who want Kyle’s diamonds. What seems like a simple home invasion becomes quite complicated when Kyle realizes that one of the attackers, Jonah (Gigandet), has a connection to his wife and possibly some other secrets of his own. Now Kyle must keep the burglars away from his diamonds, and unravel the mystery of Jonah and Sarah’s relationship, if he has any hope of protecting his family and surviving the terrible ordeal.

I recently had a chance to speak with Cam Gigandet about his work in the new film Trespass. The actor spoke candidly with me about the new film, what its like on a Joel Schumacher set, working with the extremely intense Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman’s calming effect over the cast and crew, his character’s complicated back-story, and his next project, which is a pilot for a new Western TV series on TNT.

When a trailer starts off by introducing an impossibly well-adjusted family in their impossible perfect and secure home, you know immediately that something horrible is going to befall the family, probably within the confines of their oh-so photogenic house.  Such is the case in the first trailer for Trespass, a thriller starring Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman, and Liana Liberato as that apparently perfect family.  Horror arrives right on schedule in the form of a home invasion, with two masked dude played by Ben Mendelsohn and Cam Gigandet (and possibly Dash Mihok, too) intent on getting Cage to open a very secure safe on the premises.  Of course, the situation deteriorates from there.

Scott Stewart may have begun his career working in visual effects on such films as Sin City, Superman Returns, and Live Free or Die Hard, but it was his directorial debut with last year’s supernatural thriller Legion, that put him on the map as a successful Hollywood director. Now Stewart returns, and once again reunites with actor Paul Bettany, in his latest supernatural film entitled Priest, which is based on the popular Korean comic of the same name and opens in theaters on May 13th.

The movie focuses on an alternate world where humans and vampires have waged war against each other for centuries. After the last Vampire War, the veteran Warrior Priest (Bettany) lives in obscurity with other humans inside one of the Church's walled cities. After vampires kidnap the priest's niece (Lilly Collins), he must break his vows to hunt them down. The niece's boyfriend (Cam Gigandet), who is a wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess (Maggie Q) ultimately join him on his quest for redemption.

The last time writer-director Scott Charles Stewart and actor Paul Bettany got together, Bettany played a renegade angel employing a truckload of automatic weapons to defend humanity from a heavenly apocalypse in Legion.  In Stewart's upcoming Priest, Bettany is a renegade cleric who uses crucifix ninja stars and slo-mo kung fu to fight vampires in a postapocalyptic wasteland.  A brand-spanking new, second theatrical trailer for Priest features no shortage of killer-crucifixes and vampires.

Screen Gems has released a second movie trailer for Steven Antin’s contemporary musical Burlesque. Check it out below.

Synopsis: Aguilera’s Ali runs away from Iowa in search of fame and ends up waitressing at The Burlesque Lounge on the Sunset Strip. But not for long. “Christina really takes it all off in terms of makeup and hair for a lot of the movie,” says director/writer Steven Antin. “She looks like a girl right off the farm.” That is until Kristen Bell’s headliner, Nikki, shows up tipsy one night and Ali must fill in. Ali helps turn what once was a lip-sync club into a singing-and-dancing revue after she displays her vocal fireworks onstage in numbers like But I’m a Good Girl. Cher is Tess, owner of a retro club who has a modern-day problem: She can’t make the payments on her over-mortgaged property. Together, Ali and Tess manage to transform the Burlesque Lounge into a success. Stanley Tucci is Sean, the lounge stage manager, a go-to guy for the gals and best friend of Tess.

Sony has finally released the trailer for Scott Stewart and Paul Bettany's Priest, their follow-up to Legion. Check it out! Please leave your thoughts and comments below...

Synopsis: Priest is set in a world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. Paul Bettany is Priest, a legendary warrior priest during the last Vampire War, who now lives in obscurity among the other human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities controlled by the Church. But when his 18-year-old niece is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires in the desolate wastelands outside, Priest breaks his sacred vows and ventures out to find her and seek vengeance upon those responsible, especially their brutal leader (Karl Urban). Priest is joined on his crusade by his niece’s boyfriend, Hicks (Cam Gigandet), a local outpost sheriff, and Priestess (Maggie Q), a member of his former legion of vampire-killers who has otherworldly fighting skills.

Scott Stewart's first film, Legion, was critically reviled and met with indifference commercially. The former visual effects artist hopes to capitalize on his second chance with Priest, which similarly stars Paul Bettany in a religion-themed horror tale. Slashfilm got their hands on a few stills from the picture, which is set to come out next summer.

Here's the synopsis:
