By this time next year, you’ll be seeing Disney’s take on the old German fairy tale Rapunzel in theaters, but for now you can analyze this new image from the film. Walt Disney Animation studios promises that with Rapunzel, “you will be transported to a world complete with iconic tower, an evil witch, a gallant hero and, of course, the mysterious girl with the long golden tresses”. Like so many animated features these days, Rapunzel has a stellar voice cast including Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Matthew Gray Gubler, David Schwimmer, John Goodman, David Cross, Jason Alexander, and Carol Burnett.

If you told me thirty minutes ago that Clive Owen and Catherine Keener would be starring in a movie directed by David Schwimmer, I would have thought you were trying to tell the worst/strangest lie ever. And then THR reported that Schwimmer was directing Owen and Keener in a film called “Trust”. And then Steve told me that we had inadvertently reported on this last week. So there’s really not more for me to do but repeat the synopsis and crack a couple jokes.
“Trust” tells the story of a family blindsided when their teenage daughter becomes a victim of an online sexual predator. Schwimmer pitched this story many times to the “Friends” producers but all they wanted to talk about is whether or not Ross and Rachel should get back together. No word yet if this movie could also serve as an origin story for Chris Hansen where he was too late…too late.

With this being a slow news day, I was waiting for almost any story to enter my inbox. But thanks to a reader named Max, who pointed me to the Nu Image website, I’m sharing some early promo artwork for Nicolas Cage’s “Drive Angry”, David Schwimmer’s “Trust”, and Marcus Nispel’s “Conan”. But before you think these posters are final, or this means the projects are definitely happening, let me say this is most likely artwork being used as a placeholder on their website. Also, on David Schwimmer’s IMDB page, there is no mention of “Trust”, and when I spoke to Clive Owen at TIFF, he said nothing about it. So who knows if that project is moving forward. Add to that, while “Conan” has been talked about forever as Marcus Nispel’s next project, news has been quiet, and this poster says 2009. So saying all that, I still think the posters are worth looking at. Hit the jump for synopsis’ and the posters.

NBC has announced they’ll be airing 2 all-new half-hour holiday specials based off of “Monsters vs. Aliens” and “Madagascar”. Many of the original characters will return for both films along with the original voice talents. “Monster vs. Aliens” will have the Halloween special with “Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space”, while “Madagascar” will get the Christmas special with “”Merry Madagascar”. To find out when both specials will air and what they will be about, continue reading after the jump.

A new image from Disney’s upcoming 3D computer-animated film “Rapunzel” has just landed online. That’s right: computer-animated. Even though the image above appears-hand drawn, it’s non-photorealistic rendering technique so the surface looks like it’s painted but there’s still the depth and dimension you’d expect from a 3D computer-animated film. The movie’s visual style is being based on French Rococo artist Jean-Honore Fragonard’s painting “The Swing”. Hit the jump to check out the new image where we see Rapunzel apparently enjoy yellow circles and bondage.
