Guy Richie has not been doing so well at the box office. With a series of disappointing films, fans have been waiting for him to return to his roots and deliver us a movie with the same type of WOW factor as "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch".
Well, if the reports are correct, his latest offering, RocknRolla, is just that. Due for release in October, RocknRolla stars Gerard Butler (hot damn!), Jeremy Piven, Thandie Newton, Tom Wilkinson, and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, just to name a few.
Here, for your viewing pleasure, is the first official Trailer, for Guy Richie's RocknRolla..
According to Comingsoon.com:
When a Russian mobster orchestrates a crooked land deal, millions of dollars are up for grabs, and all of London's criminal underworld wants in on the action. Everyone from a dangerous crime lord to a sexy accountant, a corrupt politician and down-on-their-luck petty thieves conspire, collude and collide with one another in an effort to get rich quick.
I was very excited when I first heard that Ridley Scott was working on a Robin Hood movie called Nottingham. The very thought of what that brilliant man could do with the subject matter makes me giddy.
Then, I heard that Russell Crowe is to star in the film. Yes! Scott and Crowe go together like Diet Coke and Rum, and I didn't think it could get any more delicious. But then....
The new buzz about the film is that another one of our Alphas, Christian Bale, is in talks to play Robin Hood! Glee! After 3:10 to Yuma, we know that Crowe and Bale have great chemistry, and with Bale as Robin Hood, and Crowe as the Sheriff of Nottingham, how could you ask for a more enticing set up?
Worries....Maid Marian is set to be played by Sienna Miller. You know, Jude Law's ex. Holy Smokes! This film is like 6 degrees of Alpha Hotness! But, we've never been a big fan of Sienna, although she was good in Factory Girl, I just cannot see her as Maid Marian. Hmmmm.
Rounding out the stellar cast are the magnificent William Hurt and the incomparable Vanessa Redgrave. Overall, if Christian gets on board, the film is sure to be amazing.

Well, Betas...We finally did it. We got off of our our big Beta Butt and put together a product line 100% dedicated to Beta Girl!
(Have you all noticed how sometimes I slip in and out of first person? At times I prefer to use the royal "we". Which I can absolutely do because I am a Royal B! As in "Beta". Not the other B....Well, maybe that fits too. Anyhoo....)
Now, many of you have been simply requesting T-Shirts, which I promised to do many moons ago. However, the Beta Girl store has more Beta Bang for your buck, and you can get everything from T-Shirts to Baseball Caps, to throw pillows, to Beer Steins...and a billion other Beta Goodies!
We Plan on using our Beta Beer Steins and pillows on our Beta Girls Night! Order a T-shirt or other Beta item of your choice, and if you send me a picture, you'll be entered to win something extra special that cannot be purchased on the site! Something I made with my own two hands!!
On a very personal note, I am so touched by the comments that you've all been sharing with me, whether it is here on the blog, on myspace, or in the various forums where we've chatted. I've made some dear friends, and I cherish all of you! The fact that anyone would want to purchase a Beta Girl product is so exciting, and I can't wait to make the shop bigger and better as our site grows!
In the meantime, you'll notice that I've added a link to the shop at the top of the left column on this blog, and you can also find it HERE.
Here are just a few of the items available right now!
Beta Thong-Perfect for a Night with your favorite Alpha!!
That's right, Betas. It appears that some Alphas are going to have to hit the gym again very soon. According to this article in Variety, "Legendary Pictures has confirmed it is developing a "300" follow-up for Warner Bros. that Frank Miller is writing and Zack Snyder is intended to direct."
What do we think about this? What would a sequel or prequel be about? Could it ever compare to the original? Could King Leonidas even be a part of it, considering "300" chronicles his life from childhood to death
Oh my Betas, my Betas...my lovely, precious Betas. How I have missed all of you!
I will start with sincere apologies for my absence over the last few weeks. A series of unavoidable interruptions to my blogging routine combined with a fantastic vacation have prevented my from keeping you posted on all of the latest Alpha male details. This means that we have a lot of catching up to do over the next few days
That's right. According to an article by Shawn Adler, director Doug Liman has named Russell Crowe on his short list of actors he'd love to cast as Joe Wilson. Wilson, you may recall is the author of the op-ed from the New York Times called, “What I Didn’t Find in Africa”, which brought to light the fact that the Bush administration was lying about yellow-cake uranium purchased by Iraq. After the release of the op-ed, Joe's wife, Valerie Plame was outed by “Washington Post” columnist Robert Novak as a covert CIA operative. The leak led all the way back to the White House, and ultimately led to the trial and conviction of Scooter Libby, who worked for VP Dick Cheney.
It may come as a shock, but this Beta Girl is a bit on the shy side. So, imagine my surprise as I perused a recent issue of OK magazine (June 2, 2008, Issue #22), and found that my favorite Alpha, Gerard Butler, was showing random strangers my Birthday present!!*(see disclaimer below picture)
Oh Betas. We so hoped it wasn't true. Surely we must admit that Mr. Law is not known for his discretion when it comes to the ladies, but we really believed he had a bit more class than this. But, it appears to be true. Our bedroom eyes Alpha, Jude Law, was caught sucking face with Kimberly Stewart, daughter of Rod Stewart, friend of Paris Hilton. Oh well, the heart wants what the heart wants....we guess.
We can hardly believe its been nearly 2 weeks since our last post. With sincere apologies, we regret that we have not kept you up to date with all of the latest Alpha male news, but even this Beta Girl needs a vacation now and then!
We shall now attempt to fill you in on all of the Alpha news that you may have missed while we were away
Great post. Agreed on every point. I also appreciate your documentation to back up your points. Something sorely lacking in so many other blogs from the other side of the aisle.
I've noticed this same phenomena. McCain is pretty much getting a free ride regarding Parsley and Hagee, while Obama was practically crucified about Wright. (Damn you, Sean Hannity!)
Of course, he claims that it is different because he was not a member of their congregations, while Obama attended Wright's church. However, he sought out the endorsement of both Pastors, and I am certain he is less than shocked by the rhetoric coming out of their mouths. More likely he merely regrets that it became an issue.
I think it is conceivable that we may have never heard a peep about the hate being spewed by Hagee and Parsley if it weren't for the Wright situation. I certainly don't think Hannity and the Fox folks would have pursued it.
I just posted a little nugget about this on my blog as well. I think Christian Bale is a great choice (ofcourse I do, he's one of my Alphas!) but I am a wee bit surprised he would sign on to another franchise while he's still doing Batman. Should be cool, though. He's an amazing actor and a real man's man.
