Here's something you don't see every day: a high-profile franchise summer sequel just a month out from release getting delayed by a whopping nine months.  Yet that's exactly what is happening to G.I. Joe: Retaliation.  The sequel/sorta-kinda reboot to 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was set for nationwide release on June 29th, but has been suddenly pushed back to a new release date, on March 29, 2013.

Here's a Moonrise Kingdom-based treat, even for those unfortunate moviegoers who can find no joy in the fantastically detailed cinematic worlds of Wes Anderson.  Said treat is a new video featurette that does include new material from the film but is mostly Bill Murray hanging out on the set and riffing about the movie like the world's foremost smartass.

Synopsis: Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two 12-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore – and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in every which way.

Moonrise Kingdom is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this Wednesday, and with less than two weeks until the film starts rolling out in select cities Stateside, it's time to start getting psyched.  In order to facilitate psychedness, Focus Features has released no fewer than four behind-the-scenes featurettes, all of them executed in the style of director Wes Anderson.  Each one is hosted by a noticeably amused Bob Balaban, who also narrates the film.

Ever since Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes, the usual joy I feel when seeing Bill Murray anywhere, in anything, is accompanied by the immortal exclamation of Wu-Tang's GZA in that film: "Bill-Groundhog Day-Ghostbustin'-ass-Murray!"  Needless to say, this sprang to mind during a new behind the scenes featurette for the latest from director and co-writer Wes Anderson, Moonrise Kingdom.

How about we start this week off with three new Looper-related images? 

Earlier this month, we saw the first trailer for Rian Johnson's third theatrical feature, and that trailer laid out the film's basic time-travel premise.  The idea is that, in the future, time-travel exists but is completely illegal and used almost exclusively by criminals sending victims back in time so as to leave no evidence of murder.  Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a looper, a guy who kills people sent back in time, but who has a problem when his latest hit turns out to be himself in the future.

Yesterday, a new domestic trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation dropped plenty of quips, lots of action, and the utter devastation of London thanks to some insidious Cobra machinations.  Today, Paramount Pictures has followed up that theatrical trailer with an international version that actually changes it up a bit.  Those G.I. Joe elements are still present, but there are fewer quips and considerably more ninjas doing ninja stuff.

In his career as an actor, Jason Statham has quite frequently played unstoppable tough guys, and whether out of revenge, profit, or self-preservation, Staham characters have perpetrated violence against innumerable bad guys, good guys, and assorted anonymous henchmen.  In this Friday's Safe, written and directed by Boaz Yakin, Statham stars as a former NYPD cop and cage fighter who kicks ass in order to protect a helpless a young girl.

See, Catherine Chan plays a little girl who knows the numerical code to a safe containing an invaluable MacGuffin, meaning that Statham must safeguard her from corrupt cops, Triad gangsters, and the Russian mafia, all of whom would happily dispose of the child once they opened that safe.

The story of Safe had us thinking about the tried-and-true trope of serious cinematic tough guys whose primary goal is the protecting of otherwise helpless youths.  We're not talking about guys like Superman or Spider-Man, who rescue different kids on a daily basis.  Instead, this latest Rogue 10 lists, in no particular order, ten onscreen heroes who dedicate themselves to their youthful charges.
