HAUNTING TRAILER FOR MATTHEW GOODE'S "BURNING MAN"! CRAZY POSTER FOR "ICE AGE CONTINENTAL DRIFT"! J.J.ABRAMS WILL HELM "STAR TREK 2"! BORIS KODJOE IN "RESIDENT EVIL RETRIBUTION"

Ah, poor Scrat, he's in trouble again as you can see on the poster of ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT. The fourth installment of

the super popular animated saga is ready to premiere in summer 2012 facing the adorable prehistoric creatures with ice caps melting. Separated from the rest of the herd, they will use an iceberg as a makeshift ship, which will launch them on an epic seafaring quest. They will encounter exotic sea creatures, explore a brave new world, and battle ruthless pirates. And Scrat's reunion with his cursed nut will catapult him to places no prehistoric squirrel has gone before. Each of the previous movies has earned from $200 million to $300 million more than the one before.

SHORT HOLLYWOOD HEADLINES

As "Vulture" reports, J.J. Abrams has officially signed on to direct STAR TREK II. The long anticipated sequel to the marvelous sf blockbuster from 2009 will again have the old cast

together including Karl Urban, Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine. It is not known when will the film come out, but the script is currently in works. After Wentworth Miller who was the male lead in the last part of the RESIDENT EVIL saga, the male star of RESIDENT EVIL RETRIBUTION will be Boris Kodjoe who will again join Milla Jovovich and Sienna Guillory in the fifth part of the sf franchise which is currently being filmed in Toronto with the premiere scheduled for Autumn 2012. Always funny, Nathan Lane has joined Julianne Moore and Greg Kinnear in THE ENGLISH TEACHER in which he will play a drama teacher. As you know, Lane is also playing Evil Queen's servant in Tarsem's SNOW WHITE alongside Julia Roberts.

There haven't been many trailers released recently, but I have an interesting one for you today. It is the haunting and inspiring

trailer for BURNING MAN, which stars super charming and deeply charismatic Matthew Goode from WATCHMEN and LEAP YEAR as an English chef with a chic restaurant on Bondi Beach who is trying to put his life and his relationship with his little son back on track while surrounded by women who are all trying to help him change his reckless ways after he had experienced a tragic accident. The cast also includes two ladies from Australia: young Serbian actress Bojana Novakovic, whom you've seen alongside Mel Gibson in EDGE OF DARKNESS and in DRAG ME TO HELL, and always talented Rachel Griffiths from BROTHERS AND SISTERS and MURIEL'S WEDDING.
