Remember the really great Hellboy one-sheet by classic poster artist Drew Struzan that went tragically unused in favor of a banal photo montage? Good news! Struzan has made another equally-impressive poster for the sequel! And it will go equally unused! But all is not lost: if ... / Continue →

In a move reminiscent of Conan O'Brien's surprisingly successful campaign for the theatrical re-release of Dirty Dancing, some fellows at Funny or Die have a new cinematic cause that I think we can all get behind: somehow turn the Richard Dreyfus/Emelio Estevez/Rosie O'Donnell ... / Continue →

While acclaimed blockbuster directors like Robert Zemeckis and James Cameron attempt to legitimize digital 3-D as a tool to more fully immerse the audience in their world, there is a lone voice fighting to maintain the sheer novelty of the craft. That voice comes from one Brend... / Continue →

I'm not usually one to post things in the fan trailer/mash-up/remix realm, but hey, it's Friday(!), so I thought I'd to make an exception for this amazing piece of work. Using semi-professional visual effects, Darryl Gold has re-edited the climactic shoot-out of 1952's High Noo... / Continue →

What the hell--no eyebrows?! Where are her eyebrows?! How does playing Amelia Earhart equate to having no eyebrows? Earhart had eyebrows! I've seen pictures of her before--in fact, I'll look up some now--and I'm positive I would have noticed if she didn't have eyebr... hmm... i... / Continue →

IMAGE REMOVED AT REQUEST OF Paramount Picture Corporation Properties In a flood of black spandex and patent leather, the remaining character shots from G.I. Joe have arrived at WWTD. The series of awkwardly-posed shots give us a first look at the costumes for Duke (spandex with... / Continue →

The official site for Baz Luhrmann's appropriately-named Australian epic, Australia, has been updated with a bunch of new production stills. Like this one of a mounted Hugh Jackman petting the subservient Nicole Kidman, for instance. More here, if you're so inclined.... / Continue →

After employing a couple trailers, an endless stream of TV spots, innumerable press photos, and disembodied heads as Slurpee containers to promote Iron Man, I imagine it's getting pretty tough to find any new way to promote the film. So I don't entirely blame director Jon Favre... / Continue →

High School Musical and rhinoplasty star Ashley Tisdale is in talks to star as an unpopular high schooler who learns she has magical powers in Teen Witch, a remake of the 1989 original. To some of you, this may not immediately sound like sacrilege. "What the hell is Teen Witch?... / Continue →

Shock Till You Drop has acquired the surprising new trailer to Rogue, which you may recall is another movie about a giant, maverick crocodile. So why is it surprising? Well, besides that they explicitly claim that the animal is evil (this f***er isn't killing on instinct--he ha... / Continue →

Casey, the increasingly more-respected Affleck brother, has signed on to star in Ridley Scott's The Kind One. Based on a Tom Epperson novel and screenplay, the story is set in 1930s L.A., and "centers on an amnesiac who finds himself working for a mobster -- a killer given the ... / Continue →

How can you tell whether or not an interview is going to be hard-hitting? Usually when it begins "This is like having Superman and Batman in the same room. [Laughter]," that's a good indication. So begins this Entertainment Weekly interview with Steven Spielberg and George Luca... / Continue →

When I was a kid, G.I. Joe's Scarlett wore a mock turtleneck with a one-piece yellow swimsuit thing over it. She was also 3 and 3/4 inches high, and starred as the subject of numerous lurid fantasies. Now look at this, a full grown woman in black spandex and body armor. My poin... / Continue →

You know that hilarious comedy where a loser can't get a girl, so he gets his asshole friend to help him, but then that friend ends up falling for the girl (I think there are several, so you choose which to envision)? It's back, and more annoying than ever thanks to the presenc... / Continue →

Outside of "the truth is out there" and "hey, nerd!", few words are as ingrained in the minds of X-Files superfans as "I want to believe." The saying was clearly written on a poster in Mulder's office, and the sentiment was a running theme throughout the series. So I guess it o... / Continue →

Think Lifetime has explored every possibly scenario of an abusive husband seeking revenge on his wife who finally fought back? Well, though they probably think so as well, you're both wrong. Writer/director Eric Red has a new, exciting take on the subject: what if the husband c... / Continue →

Like pretty much everyone on Earth, you probably have at least some desire to see the new Indiana Jones movie. But have you considered your plans immediately following and preceding the film? Should you force yourself to pee before it starts, or can you wait until afterwards? G... / Continue →

IMAGE REMOVED AT REQUEST OF PARAMOUNT PICTURES Could this be our first peek at the Tron-like future of Curves Bust Enhancers? No, sadly it isn't. The above image comes from IESB, where a reader sent along this first look at G.I. Joe's famously-red-haired heroine, Scarlett (Rach... / Continue →

Looking for a new way to show off your premature nostalgia for the early '90s (your neon hightops aren't cutting it), possibly via the art of cinema? Try on this teaser trailer to Jonathan Levine's The Wackness! Here is the enticing summary: Story, set in 1994, centers on a tr... / Continue →

Iron Man has been one of the most popular, most-viewed trailers of the last year, but will it be able to maintain its integrity and hardcore fan-base if Hollywood adapts the two-minute preview into a full-length feature film? The always witty Onion News Network weighs in on the... / Continue →

Limbs, parental love, that thing you cherished that you let go to see if it was always yours or if it was never meant to be: when some things go, no matter how beautiful, they're gone for good, and you have to accept that. And while it's looking more and more like our beloved A... / Continue →

The elements have all been there for time time: the director of both live-action Scooby-Doo movies, the Paris Hilton-fueled interest in handbag-size dogs, decade-old Taco Bell commercials. It was only a matter of time before they merged into something terrible. But this? This?*... / Continue →

So it's the Taxi Driver poster... but with a giant pair of jeans behind him. Fair enough. Poster Premiere: The Incredible Hulk [IGN]... / Continue →

OK, figure this one out: 1. Jackie Chan told MTV that he and Chris Tucker have agreed to do another movie together. 2. That movie will not be another Rush Hour. The two statements seem a bit contradictory to me. Are they trying to say they'll invent a new dynamic between the... / Continue →

If there was any small solace I was able to take away from the midget/penis-joke-filled Love Guru trailer, it was that at least it meant the death of the increasingly painful Austin Powers franchise, and all the fading remnants of impressions and Halloween costumes that go with... / Continue →

1. Prom Night - After nearly doubling the profits of its closest competitor with a $22.7 million weekend, I'm ready to concede to the rest of the committee: fine, maybe Slasher Horror was a better Prom Night theme than A Night Beneath the Stars. 2. Street Kings - Coming in a d... / Continue →

Since it's probably just a little after you've eaten lunch, maybe right now isn't the best time to watch the trailer for Tokyo Gore Police. But later, when you're comfortable watching nearly five minutes of torn-off faces, hacked-off nipples, carnivorous plant vaginas, decapita... / Continue →

Just when you thought there was nothing on Nickelodeon except... whatever it is they air now (something with the pregnant Spears and maybe slime?), the network known for kids shows and sad, late-night reminiscing has aired two new minutes of footage from Iron Man. Which is stra... / Continue →

Yesterday, someone going by only the cryptic name of "Giggleloop" informed me of a new development in the Dark Knight marketing campaign: a Harvey Dent press conference! Finally the fictional Batman character would be speaking to the public as if he were a real political figure... / Continue →
