Taylor Kitsch in Disney's John Carter Mars Movie Directed by Wall-e's Andrew Stanton, and starring Taylor Kitsch in the title role, Disney's $250 million-budgeted sci-fi/adventure John Carter opened on Wednesday in France. Though by far the biggest new release that day, John Carter sold a relatively modest 66,583 tickets at 505 sites according to Cbo-Box Office — placing it in the sixth slot among the year's top opening-day movies, smack between Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar, starring the internationally popular Leonardo DiCaprio, and the 3D adventure Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, which stars Josh Hutcherson, Dwayne Johnson, and Vanessa Hudgens. According to France Soir, John Carter doesn't have much time to continue its box-office dominance among the new releases in France.

Greed. It's one of the seven deadly sins for a very good reason. It can consume you. Dictate your actions. Make you act out in very violent ways. In short ... we love sin! Especially sin that ends in bloodshed and carnage.
Below you'll find the first info, stills, and artwork for Eric Guirado's Greed starring Julie Depardieu, Jeremie Renier, Alexandra Lamy, and Lucien Jean-Baptiste.
Synopsis
Dreaming of a better life, Bruno and Maryline, 30, move to a small town nestled in the breathtaking French Alps. They are greeted by their landlord, Patrick, a successful real estate developer, and his beautiful wife, Gladys, a perfect homemaker. Because their home is not yet ready, Patrick puts them up in another house. But what begins as temporary housing soon turns into a series of moves from one place to the next until Bruno and his family end up in a hotel, still waiting for their home.

When her ne'er do well husband is taken in by the police, she's courted by a well-to-do businessman (Josef Abrhám) and Marcela is forced to...
