Cosmopolis is set to have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this month, and when it does, we'll start getting some idea of just how nutty David Cronenberg's adaptation of Don DeLillo's 2003 novel really is.*  For now, though, we've got to work with what we've got.  Five days ago, the first official clip from Cosmopolis popped up online, and today, there's a smattering of new images, as well as a sampling of the score.

The first official clip from "The first film about our new millennium" has arrived online with a look at Cosmopolis clocking in at over one minute, complete with French subtitles.  Two weeks ago, a domestic and an international trailer gave our most extensive peek at the adaptation of acclaimed novelist Don DeLillo's 2003 book.  This clip, though, provides a sense of the heightened reality that director David Cronenberg is going for here.

Last month, our first look at footage from Cosmopolis was but a meager offering, a thirty four-second glimpse at director David Cronenberg's adaptation of the novel by literary asskicker Don DeLillo.  Today, though, there's an embarrassment of riches, as we have not one, but two exceedingly stylish theatrical trailers for Cosmopolis.

The first look at actual footage from Cosmopolis has arrived online in the form of a quick international trailer clocking in at just thirty-four seconds.  In that time, the trailer covers plenty of not-safe-for-work ground in frenetic fashion.  Over a career that has seen the likes of The Fly, Crash (the 1996 one), and A History of Violence, director David Cronenberg has established a fascination with sex and splattery, horrifically abrupt violence.  Both are on display in this brief French trailer.  Subtitles en francais, too.

A decade after Milla Jovovich first starting shooting guns and kicking asses as Alice in the videogame adaption Resident Evil, here we are in 2012 and a fifth installment in the franchise is going to continue in that rich tradition of gun-shooting and ass-kicking with Re5ident Evil: Retribution.  Almost two weeks ago, Screen Gems released the very first teaser trailer, which featured Alice standing atop the White House.  Today, the studio has dropped the first teaser poster and a bit of promotional artwork.

Not many franchises make it to a fifth installment, but a decade after the videogame adaptation Resident Evil, here we are at Resident Evil: Retribution, or, as we recently discovered it's titled, Re5ident Evil: Retribution.  The fourth sequel is set to arrive in September, and the very first teaser trailer has arrived online today.

Have you ever noticed that the number 5 quite distinctly resembles the letter S?  No really, if you squint, they look like the same thing.  Screen Gems is out to prove the resemblance with the title to the fifth film in the Resident Evil franchise based on the ongoing videogame series.  This installment was previously referred to as Resident Evil: Retribution, but a new official synopsis issued today unveiled the new, jazzed up title, Re5ident Evil: Retribution.

Just today you may have seen a poster featuring Kate Beckinsale wielding weaponry in black leather on the poster for third sequel Underworld Awakening, and now you can peek at unofficial images featuring Milla Jovovich in black leather, tights, and a barrel full of buckles on the set of Resident Evil: Retribution.  That would be the fourth sequel in the action-horror franchise that began back in 2002 with videogame adaptation Resident Evil.  So today you get two dark clothes-loving leading ladies rocking guns in two different series, one which pits vampires against werewolves and another which pits human survivors against postapocalyptic undead hoards.  So take a look at Jovovich back in character as the unkillable heroine Alice, sporting the emblem of the evil Umbrella corporation on her buckle-laden outfit.

Three shiny new images from Cosmopolis have emerged online, two of which feature Robert Pattinson as Eric Packer, a billionaire asset manager who decides to take his mega-swanky limo across Manhattan to get a haircut and ends up confronted at every turn by uniquely American absurdities and trials.  The third still includes a character by the name of Elise, played by Sarah Gadon in her second role for director David Cronenberg, following the upcoming A Dangerous Method. 

With Cosmopolis, writer-director Cronenberg adapts the novel by Don DeLillo, and I'm exceedingly curious how the man behind The Fly, A History of Violence, Naked Lunch, and Scanners will handle the material, which is epic and allegorical and potentially wonderful as a movie.  It'll also be interesting to see how Pattinson acquits himself, since Cronenberg tends to get fascinating performances out of his leads, and despite being famous the world over, Pattinson's abilities are still sort of mysterious.

Synopsis: In this futuristic underdog tale, Hugh Jackman stars as Charlie Kenton, a former prizefighter who lost his shot at a championship title when traditional boxing was replaced by robot-boxing, the world's most popular sport.  When he's suddenly reunited with the son he never knew he had, Charlie finds a training robot that they'll attempt to make an unlikely champ.
