Watch Julianne Moore in 'Shelter' trailer

Julianne Moore has done a horror thriller titled "Shelter," and even though I'm not sure when or if it will make it to theaters, it's got a trailer you can check out after the jump. Moore co-stars with Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the flick helmed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein.

Moore plays Dr. Cara Jessup, who's been challenging the existence of multiple personality disorders for a long time. When she meets her new patient Adam, however, she starts to realize that his unusual behavior may cause her to revise her beliefs.

"Shelter" doesn't look like a mainstream horror flick, but then again, I'm sure it can't be as bad as some other films of the genre we've recently seen. See for yourself in the trailer below. At least the two leads are known enough to market the film on a bigger scale.

Movie Review: “From Paris with Love”

Seen on: February 2, 2010

The players: Director: Pierre Morel, Writer: Adi Hasak, Cast: John Travolta, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Kasia Smutniak, Richard Durden

Facts of interest: Pierre Morel also directed "Taken."

The plot: A Paris-based agent teams up with a badass U.S. agent to stop a terrorist attack planned on French soil.

Our thoughts: Following his surprise hit “Taken,” Pierre Morel returns to the big screen with “From Paris with Love.” Don’t be fooled by the title though, because this is not a romantic story set in the city of love. On the contrary, this film is an outrageously ridiculous and yet quite entertaining action comedy filled with stupid action, bad dialogue and a totally crazy performance by John Travolta.

New 'From Paris With Love' trailer so-so

Trailer for Morel's next ain't that cool

Pierre Morel's "Taken" stormed the box office by surprise last year and even brought in some positive reviews. I enjoyed the film as well, even though it ranks as one of the most over-the-top thrillers I've ever seen. Still, it was silly fun to watch.

Now Morel has a new film coming out, and it's titled "From Paris With Love." Sadly, it looks terrible, even though the cast includes John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. A new trailer has popped up online, and you can check it out below.

Based on a script by Luc Besson and Adi Hasak, the film centers on an embassy worker who encounters an American secret agent during a risky mission in the French capital. As you can see in the preview, it's all boom and bang.

Boom and bang can be fun, sure, but not when Travolta looks this ridiculous. I'm sure he had tons of fun playing the bad-ass American who kicks everybody's ass and blows shit up with a giant bazooka, but something about this just doesn't feel awesome.

Bloody set pics for 'From Paris With Love'

Pierre Morel's latest thriller "From Paris with Love" is still shooting, and the Bad and Ugly recently got a hold of new images of John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers from the set.

As you can see above, Meyers looks bloody and Travolta looks... scary (sort of). Based on a script by Luc Besson and Adi Hasak, the film centers on an embassy worker who encounters an American secret agent during a risky mission in the French capital.

Production for the film halted two months ago because members of the production team found ten cars belonging to Europacorp burned out by arsonists, but it looks like everything is back to normal.

Anyway, check out one still above and click here if you want to see some more.

‘From Paris With Love’ stops shooting

Filming for Pierre Morel’s upcoming thriller “From Paris With Love” has been officially suspended, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Principal photography was shot down in a Parisian neighborhood when members of the production team found ten cars belonging to Europacorp burned out by arsonists.

Based on a script by Luc Besson and Adi Hasak, the film centers on an embassy worker who encounters an American secret agent during a risky mission in the French capital.

John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers were on location for the shoot of the project, which is produced on a $55 million budget.

According to the trade, Europacorp said only that filming of the housing project scenes is suspended pending a review.

This is sad to hear, but not surprising. After all, Paris the world capital for burned out cars by random idiots who don’t have anything better to do.
