Trailer and Poster for Stephen King Adaptation 'A Good Marriage'

When it comes to Stephen King adaptations they are not all created equal. You get some great ones like Misery, Stand by Me, or The Mist (damn right I like The Mist!), but you also get a lot of cheaply-made crap. Unfortunately we probably get more of the latter than anything else, and it looks like another one is on the way in A Good Marriage.

A new trailer for the film has been released and...well, it looks like cheaply-made crap. Directed by Peter Askin (Trumbo) and starring Joan Allen, Kristen Connolly, Stephen Lang, and Anthony LaPaglia, the story centers on the wife of a man who is secretly a serial killer. When she accidentally stumbles upon evidence of his hidden life, it pretty much puts the kibosh on their wedded bliss. Dexter this guy ain't as he leaves proof of his killing where anybody can stumble upon it. Some serial killer.  But hey, who needs little details like that when probably nobody will see this movie, anyway?

A Good Marriage opens on October 3rd.

New international trailer for 'Django Unchained'

Should we be concerned about Django Unchained? There have already been a number of departures from the film for various reasons, including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Kevin Costner. But it was Anthony LaPaglia, who it was revealed earlier this month had left the production, who talked about how wildly out of control Quentin Tarantino had let things get. Hopefully it doesn't have an effect on the finished product, but considering the director's editing process I expect he'll taking right to the brink to get it done by Christmas Day.

Whatever happens, at least we still have some great trailers to keep ourselves occupied. The latest comes courtesy of Sony's Latin America division, and it features a few new scenes. Most of them center on Leonardo DiCaprio chewing up scenery as the evil plantation owner, Calvin Candie, who holds the wife of freed slave, Django(Jamie Foxx).  We haven't seen DiCaprio cut loose in a heelish role like this since....ever, so that should be a real treat.

Check out the trailer for Django Unchained below....[Comingsoon]

Anthony LaPaglia to play Joseph Gordon-Levitt's brother in Django Unchained

We haven't seen much of Anthony LaPaglia on the big screen lately, with him spending the bulk of the last few years in the CBS series, Without a Trace. In fact I don't think I've seen him in anything since Winter Solstice back in 2005, although I've heard extremely good things about the controversial film, Balibo, which will probably never land on American shores anyway. That's ok, because LaPaglia has just signed on for a small role in a film that's guaranteed to make waves here and everywhere else, joining Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained.

Deadline has the news, stating that LaPaglia will play one of a greedy group of Australians escorting a group of recently purchased slaves. There they'll encounter freed slave turned bounty hunter, Django(Jamie Foxx), and I'm assuming things don't go well. He and the recently signed Joseph Gordon-Levitt will play "mean brothers" in the film, with one more brother yet to be cast. Just how big the parts are is unclear, but I speculated last week that certain roles might get bigger with Tarantino doing a rewrite. These seem like prime candidates for that.

Django Unchained is set to hit theaters Christmas Day 2012!
