Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie have gone into the wine business and by the looks of it thusfar, the Bradgelina duo are going to be very successful.
The wine, Miraval Rose 2012, is a joint wine venture with Marc Perrin, and was produced at the Hollywood couple’s southern French estate of Chateau Miraval property. There is also a special bonus that may help the sales, the back label of each bottle reads “bottled by Jolie-Pitt and Perrin.”

Brad Pitt’s Killing Them Softly had a soft opening nationwide this past weekend, earning a reserved F CinemaScore with viewers and landing at number seven on the box office chart. The film becomes only the eighth movie ever to receive the rare failing grade. Wow! Even though the film cost only $15 million to make, it opened to a mediocre $7 million, which is considered a disappointing number.
Killing Them Softly is based on hit-man Jackie Cogan(Pitt), who is paid to investigate a robbery at a mob poker game. | Full Story
This is the kind of world we live in, where I can run articles about trailers for zombie movies two days in a row. Anyway…
World War Z, after a development that moved slower than the shambling of the undead, is finally set for a release next June. And yesterday, a trailer was set loose on the web. So how does it look?
To me… not terribly interesting. The book on which the film is based (which is okay) put a new spin on the zombie genre by focusing on a worldwide struggle between humans and zombies. | Full Story
The quite minimal, simple and understated logo for the upcoming zombie flick World War Z has surfaced online, letting just about everyone know that its promotional campaign is in full swing.
The logo comes just one day after its first clip was released. While this might suggest that key plot points, a full cast, and memorable quotes have also been showcased, the marketing team has been nothing but coy in releasing material. | Full Story

Reports have been surfacing left and right online claiming David Fincher‘s next feature project will not be a follow-up to last year’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but an adaptation of Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
After his Oscar winning duo of both Dragon Tattoo and The Social Network, David Fincher has been quite coy in choosing his next project. One is fair in assuming that, since his success in adapting Steig Larsson’s first novel, it would make perfect sense for Fincher to move on to adapting the next in the series. | Full Story
Killing Them Softly, which stars Brad Pitt as a slick professional enforcer (and made our list of Most Anticipated Movies Coming to Theaters This Fall), just debuted six new posters. Oh, did I just say six posters? I meant six extremely awesome, stylish, custom designed pieces of art I’d like hanging on my wall.
Designed by Gravillis Inc., whose work you might recognize from their striking campaign for Oliver Stone’s Savages and the Inglourious Basterds character posters, these posters emphasize the film’s political commentary on the greed and violence endemic in American society. | Full Story
