Trailer Park: "Whiteout," "Ninja Assassin," "The Book of Eli" August 30, 2009 Whiteout, opening September 11, stars Kate Beckinsale and was originally filmed back in 2007. This trailer has a lot of action with an X-Files vibe, but I understand the original graphic novel by Greg Rucka was more of a mystery. (Warning: gratuitous shower scene.) Ninja Assassin opens November 25.  It's directed by James McTeigue and produced by Joel Silver and the Wachowski brothers, supposedly inspired by the ninja scenes in the Wachowskis' Speed Racer (take that however you want).  It stars Korean pop star Rain, and Babylon 5's J. Michael Straczynski is among the writers. The Book of Eli is scheduled to open January 15, 2010, with Denzel Washington in the title role.  The Hughes Bros. (Albert and Allen Hughes of Menace II Society and From Hell) direct this post-apocalyptic actioner that reminds me of both Mad Max and I Am Legend. --David
