As we continue to wait for news on Half-Blood Prince, some of our favorite actors have been busy with other movie projects, and we have a few updates regarding those tonight.

First up: The new trailer for “The Tales of Despereaux,” an animated film featuring the voice of Emma Watson is now online via Yahoo movies. Based on the best selling book, this film is due in theaters December 19.

Next: “Good” starring Jason Isaacs and Viggo Mortensen. The trailer for the film based on the powerful play by C.P. Taylor features Jason in a departure from his role as Death Eater Lucius Malfoy to part of a Jewish victim caught up in the rise of the Nazi regime in Germany. You can see the trailer here via YouTube or here in our video galleries. This film is expected to be released later this year.

Mamma Mia, its Mamma Weasley, singing! Well sorta, as Julie Walters (Molly Weasley) will soon be seen in the film Mamma Mia, based on the hit musical featuring the songs from the group ABBA. Enjoy!

“The Dark Knight”: Marketing is in high gear for this next installment in the Batman series, and there are a host of new clips and trailers for this film starring Gary Oldman (Sirius Black), Christian Bale, and the late Heath Ledger here via a special Comcast site and here via the official WB The Dark Knight website.

Older news, but still worth checking out are the following list below.

Like fine wine, Alan Rickman keeps getting better as seen in his newest film “Bottle Shock,” a movie about the wine business.

Jim Broadbent (Professor Slughorn in the upcoming “Half-Blood Prince”) can currently be seen in When Did You Last See Your Father? with Colin Firth.

Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) is in the dark thriller “The Disappeared. Please note the trailer for this film is quite intense and contains disturbing subject matter not suitable for younger viewers.

Thanks to everyone who has emailed!

Re Tom’s film; It’s a sad day for Greg Wise when Jenno looks more attractive.

wow i really want to see ‘the disapeared’ it looks good. but to bad for me cause i HATE scary movies. Its nice to see other Hp charactors in other movies. ‘despereaux’ looks kinda dumb. sorry but it looks a little stupid but im sure ill go and see it anyway. I didnt think that emma sounded defferent thaugh. its probably just cause you cant actually see her so it seems defferent. cant wait for the HP6 trailor! good job potter cast.

Emma’s rarified girls’-school accent works perfectly for a little princess, ha! She’ll be great. Go Emma. I guess Tom is capitalizing on his bad boy image. I think he’s a pretty good actor.

The Disappeared trailer was released like 4 months ago. Why has the news of it only come out now?

Posted by Kate on June 27, 2008, 04:36 PM report to moderator

those are amazing trailers! haha Alan Rickmans film looks interesting… “and i’m not really, i’m just british and well… you’re not” i love him. and Tom’s movie looks really creepy! i want to see it. Emma’s movie looks cute :)

I should be jealous of all of them, but I’m not. I’m happy they’re all busy doing other work.

Viggo Mortensen AND Jason Isaac being the main characters in a movie… AWESOME!!! The trailer evoked a great deal of emotion in me, so I can only imagine what the movie will do.

Again, I say… GOOD FOR JO for making it a condition that the cast for the HP movies be all British (I’m American BTW).

And Finally… Great News Item. I like the combination of news items as it relates to HP actors.

I’m going to see ‘Dark Knight’ for sure. & I really want to see ‘The Disappeared’, I love ghost stories!*

@Kate: I think it is a different trailer from the one that was out some time ago.

About Desperaux: I can’t wait to see it. Don’t get me wrong, I love Pixar and Dreamworks, but it was high time we got a promising computer animated movie from a different source. Plus, the “Named it fluffy!” line made me laugh. :P

Tale of Desperaux looks so cute! <3 Reminds me of Ratatoullie.

Wait, Gary’s in Dark Knight? vOoh, I didn’t know that! I hope the HBP trailer is before it!

Awwww. The Tale of Despereaux looked so cute and funny. I can’t wait to go see it. I love films like that. I really really want to go see the Dark Knight, but it’s going to be hard to see Heath Ledger. he was such a terrific actor.

So, Jason Isaacs goes from playing a Nazi figure to playing a Jewish man in a Nazi regime? Hmm… Movie looks pretty good. Don’t know what to think about that despareaux movie… I just thought “Ratatoulie” when I first saw it, and why is it that happens so often? Volcano and Dante’s Peak. Armageddon and Deep Impact. Bugs Life and Antz. Finding Nemo and Shark Tale. Hmm…

Tom Felton’s movie looks a bit low budget, but it may be interesting… That was a freaking long trailer…
