I loves me some Clive Owen! Trailer for his new movie "The Boys Are Back" (about a man who loses his wife and then has to raise their son and reconnect with a son from a previous marriage alone). It looks good and sweet:

"The Men Who Stare At Goats", just saw the trailer, and it looks hilarious and very good! I love the look at on Ewan McGregor's face when George Clooney refers to himself as a Jedi warrior (Ewan was of course Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi warrior).
It also stars Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges:

Simon Pegg & David Tennant To Star In 'Burke & Hare':
It was previously reported that Simon Pegg would be starring in the John Landis film, 'Burke and Hare'. Now, according to reports, David Tennant (Doctor Who) will be joining him as a fellow grave robber in the film Burke and Hare. At this time, it is not known who will play the role of Burke and who will play the role of Hare.
'Burke and Hare' is the story of William Burke and William Hare, Irish immigrants that robed graves to sell the bodies to Edinburgh Medical College for dissection in the early 1880s. Eventually the pair started to murder in order to get more bodies to sell.

I've read some about them in books about murder in England, but couldn't find a cheap book about them yet to read.
David Tennant is yummy!
