FILM NEWS - New Trailers for Les Miserables & The Bourne Legacy, East End Film Festival Programme Revealed and Superhero Updates!

Happy Thursday ladies and gents! Here's the last seven days of all things movie in one post. Enjoy:

First Look At Les Miserables and The Bourne Legacy
Last Thursday we finally got our first look at the film adaptation of the famous musical when Universal Pictures released a teaser trailer. Personally, I'm not sure what to expect from this film, Wolverine isn't exactly a renowned singer after all. But it is directed by Tom Hooper (The King's Speech), so the film certainly has a lot of potential. AAH! I'm in two minds.

The next day on Friday, Universal Pictures released their first trailer for The Bourne Legacy.

Writer and Director Tony Gilroy continues the Bourne saga in this new film based in the universe of the original Robert Ludlum novels. Jeremey Renner (aka Hawkeye from Avengers Assemble) takes the lead in the new film as CIA agent Aaron Cross, replacing Matt Damon's Jason Bourne. The trailer for the fourth installment in the series was released on Friday.

East End Film Festival 2012 Announces Programme
On Thursday, the East End Film Festival announced it's programme for the event which runs from the 3rd to the 8th of July. The Festival will feature a huge collection of shorts from all genres of movie, and will also include a film of Amy Winehouse made from rarely-seen concert and archive footage.

Warner Bros. Plans Justice League Film
Unsurprisingly, after the success of Avengers Assemble, Warner Bros. have made plans to bring the DC equivalent to the big screen. Justice League will be written by Will Beal (Gangster Squad) and is likely to feature superheroes such as Batman, Superman and Wonderwoman.
As Marvel have proven, a universe has to be built up before the final Justice League film can be made. Does this mean that the Batman franchise has to be rebooted again, as Christopher Nolan has hinted that the Dark Knight saga will have a very final ending when the final installment comes out in a few weeks? Maybe the new Superman film Man of Steel will lay down the foundations for a Justice League world? We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.

Iron Man 3 To Be Co-Produced In China
More superhero news! It was announced yesterday that Iron Man 3 would be co-produced in China. I doubt this makes any difference at all to the film, but I thought I may as well put the news in anyways.

And that's all the film news from the last week. Kieron will be writing it next week. Later today we will also be posting a review of MiB3, written by a friend of ours. See you then.
