'Unthinkable', the hottest new movie that you have never heard of

How's this for a true Hollywood mystery? Last Friday, when I visited the Internet Movie Data Base's Movie Meter, which ranks the hottest films and TV shows of the moment in terms of searches by IMDB users, I found a movie ranked at No. 4 -- higher than "Get Him to the Greek," "Shrek Forever After," "Robin Hood" or "Glee" -- that isn't even playing in theaters and hasn't been released on home video.

Called "Unthinkable," the film stars Sam Jackson as an enigmatic former Army interrogator brought in to question a U.S.-born Muslim terrorist, played by Michael Sheen, who has planted nuclear devices in three American cities. With the clock ticking and FBI, military and CIA operatives on hand angrily debating the wisdom of his actions, the film focuses on just how far Jackson's character should go in terms of brutal interrogation tactics to force the terrorist to reveal where he has placed the bombs.

Lakeview Terrace Poster

Cinematical received this poster for Lakeview Terrace, starring Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington, and Patrick Wilson.

Jackson plays one of the creepiest types of bad guys -- a cop who can't be stopped. While a neighborhood like Lakeview Terrace sounds great and all, it becomes anything but when an interracial couple (Washington and Wilson) move next door to Jackson's racist cop. The man in blue starts off subtly -- an annoying light here, an awkward scare there, and then goes into full-on creepy neighbor to get the couple to hit the road. But Wilson will have none of that and crazily decides to take on the imbalanced cop.

First Look: Samuel L. Jackson as The Octopus in The Spirit

Comic-Con Magazine has debuted the first official finished photo of Samuel L. Jackson as The Octopus in Frank Miller's The Spirit. He may have looked goofy in the green screen photos, but in his finished form, Jackson looks pretty damn intense. The Octopus is The Spirit's arch-enemy, a meek lab assistant who reinvents himself as a psychotic nightmare that kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face, who has plans to wipe out Central City. We've already seen the first teaser trailer and now this new photo. With the release date moved up to Christmas Day, I'm curious to know how many of you are now truly looking forward to seeing The Spirit?

You can bet your ass we'll be seeing plenty of The Spirit at Comic-Con this July. The latest issue of their official magazine kicks a lot of ass, so make sure you check out the insides of it, too.

The Spirit is both written and directed by legendary comic book author Frank Miller, who previously worked with Robert Rodriguez to direct segments of Sin City. The film is based Will Eisner's newspaper comic strip of the same name that originally debuted in 1940. The Spirit will hit theaters on December 25th, Christmas Day, this year. If you haven't seen the first teaser trailer already, make sure you check it out!
