Latino Review brings word that Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Duhamel are attached to star in a new pulpy thriller called Sympathy For The Devil. Not to be confused with a few other recent projects that share the same title, this Devil features Jackson and Duhamel as humans caught in the middle of a spiritual battle between heaven and hell.

The project is in early pre-production, so it will be a while before we see any photos or footage, but this sounds like another entry into the spiritual “end of the world” movies of the past few years (Knowing, Legion, even 1999’s End of Days). LR also mention that Remember The Titans director Boaz Yakin is set to direct. The script is already written (although we don’t know the writer yet), and apparently all that stands between the film and production is selling the distribution rights to secure funding.

Here’s the plot synopsis: Caught in the no-man’s land between Saturday night sin and Sunday morning redemption, Louisiana lawman Harlan Stark (Josh Duhamel) finds that his intervention into a spectacular crime –the bold attempt to assassinate a charismatic preacher –soon escalates into a cosmic confrontation between Heaven and Hell, where angels are warriors as dangerous as demons. Harlan and his loyal partner Jesse (Samuel L. Jackson) stand at the fulcrum between vengeful good and devious evil, with neither side showing anything like mercy. Harlan must find the courage to break the cycle, and reject fanatical revenge –yet he too finds himself transformed. Outrageous, violent and subversive, this new adventure in horror from the director of Remember the Titans is sure to be controversial. SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL blends the seductive sensuality of Angel Heart, the genre-bending audacity of Pulp Fiction and the relentless intensity of The Omen when all hell breaks loose in New Orleans and the sacred becomes as deadly as the profane.

Michael Bay has cut out the middle man once again and has revealed 3 new TV spots for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on his own blog. They contain a few new scenes and we get some good shots of Skids, Sideswipe, The Fallen, Jetfire and Devastator. Watch below!

The February issue of Empire magazine features an exclusive look at Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Empire have kindly put a couple of images on their website for us to look at. The first shows Shia and Megan Fox running for their lives. The second shows Josh Duhamel doing extreme sunbathing with some Autobot/Decepticon hieroglyphics, and the third shows filming at the Pyramids in Egypt.

We knew that Shia LaBeouf would be back, and that Isabel Lucas and Rainn Wilson have been added. However there hasn’t been much talk about the other cast members returning. I think most people thought that they all signed for more movies, but the question was whether their characters would be back. Thankfully, The Hollywood Reporter have confirmed that Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro will be back, playing Mikaela Banes, Captain Lennox, USAF Tech Sergeant Epps and Agent Simmons.

This is good news. It is always handy for sequels, which will eventually become trilogies, to have familiar faces.
