Here’s three for your viewing pleasure this weekend from Team Film. First head down to the Landmark Sunshine and check out Francis Ford Coppola’s latest—the self-financed, self-produced Tetro, starring Vincent Gallo and Alden Ehrenreich, above. From there, head up to Cinema Village and catch the stateside release of Jean-Jacques Beineix’s three-hour director’s cut of the art-movie-cum-sex-romp Betty Blue. Finally, check your local listings for the sci-fi thriller Moon, which proves you can never have too many Sam Rockwells.
Let the hype begin: USA Today has an exclusive first look at Iron Man 2 that includes an image from the film, reprinted above. Tony Stark’s looking sleek and serious nowadays, though there’s no word on whether his postcredits meeting in the first movie with agent Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) will be fleshed out in this second installment. What we do know is that IM2 (whoa, it’s the John Woo Mission: Impossible II backward!) has been shooting for about three weeks now, with IM director Jon Favreau at the helm. Don Cheadle has replaced Terrence Howard as Stark’s partner, Col. James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes, and joining the cast this time out are Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer. The film is set for release on May 7, 2010. Like, a year from now.
