As a foreboding promotion for Meet Dave, Fox is giving mortals the chance to get inside the head of Eddie Murphy. And no, as you may have inferred from the above image, this does not mean learning the motivations behind how he decides which roles will invoke a fat suit and whic... / Continue →

Robert Rodriguez has announced plans to produce a Red Sonja film slated for 2010, and surprise, for once he isn't trying to inappropriately cast his girlfriend, Rose McGowan, in the lead role. No, I'm kidding; he's obviously inappropriately casting his girlfriend in the lead ro... / Continue →

Saw V? Man, they are really stretching this series out like it's the skin of Tobin Bell being stretched over someone's face as a mask. I don't know where I got that simile. It just came to me. (Thanks for the tip, Dan.) Saw V Teaser Poster [Shock Till You Drop]... / Continue →

Empire has the trailer to Disney's Bolt, the new typically-saccharine animated film starring the voices of Hannah Montana and Scientology. Please watch it, because I want to know if I'm the only one disappointed when this trailer transitions from the story of a cyborg dog savin... / Continue →

I've followed the commercials, the trailers, the production photos, the interviews, a viral campaign on par with the Navy, but I'm still not sure if I want to see what might be the most hyped movie in history--a film that includes the final completed role of a talented young ac... / Continue →

Tale of Despereaux? More like Tale of Desperation! Because Universal is so desperate to continue the Finding Nemo/Shark Tale, Bug's Life/Ants, Toy Story/Plaything Narrative tradition of repeating animated movie concepts that they've made a film about a foreign-named mouse in a ... / Continue →

Latino Review has an exclusive new clip from Hellboy II: The Golden Army here. If anyone was begging for the sequel to contain more slapstick comedy and uncomfortable parallels to domestic abuse, this clip is for you. Plus, you get to see Johann the ectoplasm guy doing things. ... / Continue →

Tuesday night, Punisher: War Zone producer Gale Anne Hurd hosted a party for star Ray Stevenson, a celebration to reminds him that, no matter what he may do in the future, he will forever be associated with what is most likely a very bad movie. To help permanently infuse this t... / Continue →

A helpful commenter on Cinematical has pointed out a recent interview PiQ magazine did with Edgar Wright. In it, the writer/director briefly discusses his upcoming projects, Scott Pilgrim, The World's End, Them, and Ant-Man, and reminds you he was directing the amazing British ... / Continue →

If you decide to give in to masochistic curiosity and pay to put a hit on your childhood nostalgia (by which I mean buy a ticket to G.I. Joe), a few questions will likely pass through your head before you're able to successfully slit your wrists with your seat's cupholder. "Why... / Continue →

Thanks to Maggie for sending over this link to two new clips from X-Files: I Want to Believe--one of which, as she noted, finally confirms the presence of Mulder and Scully in this Billy Connolly picture. I'm still convinced top billing is going to "snow."... / Continue →

Sarah Jessica Parker is being typecast! No, not as a horse (ha! because she has an equine-esque head!), but as a gravely familiar, single, fashionable female living in Manhattan's Upper East Side for The Ivy Chronicles. From the Hollywood Reporter: The actress is in talks with... / Continue →

Alright. Since it's now received many glowing reviews and ended up with a respectable 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, maybe I was wrong about Kung Fu Panda. While I'll still never see it, perhaps it isn't a black & white turd thrown at cinema walls with the hope that the familiar voice... / Continue →

Thus far, I've irrationally avoided the majority of Joss Whedon's work for the sole reason that Entertainment Weekly covered most of it so heavily. My roommate in college had a subscription, and I got really annoyed flipping through so many articles about Buffy. Friends who lov... / Continue →

Rolling Stone's Peter Travers has the first review of The Dark Knight, calling it "a thunderbolt about to rip into the blanket of bland we call summer movies," and other favorable things. Good to know that all of the claims I made to my friends that this will be the definitive ... / Continue →

Do you think Joan Allen had a deal in her contract that her face would be presented larger than the hot girl, just because she's a known and respected actress and the hot girl is only known as "the hot girl"? Because I can pretty much guarantee you that anyone looking to see a ... / Continue →

Empire has the debut of the trailer for Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla, starring that fellow from The Wire, the guy from Cupid, the considerate dead boyfriend of P.S. I Love you, Ludacris, and more! If you can imagine a live-action version of Grand Theft Auto IV but with slightly mor... / Continue →

In Extras, Ricky Gervais plays a character disappointed that his starring sitcom had gone the route of lowbrow humor and catch-phrases. In this poster for Ghost Town, Ricky Gervais poses as if preparing for a rectal exam beside a catch-phrase larger than his torso seated just a... / Continue →

Eagle Eye, starring Michelle Monaghan and Shia LaBeouf, has a new trailer. The film is directed by Disturbia's DJ Caruso based on a story by Steven Spielberg, that story being that a terrorist group enlists the unwilling help of a patchy-bearded youth and a single mom by way of... / Continue →

It looks like the color scheme for G.I. Joe banner campaign is officially "black & white, with a dab of red drawing the eye to the least significant thing possible." These are the second and third posters (after this one!) highlighting a small feature on a weapon, and I'm start... / Continue →

Back in April, director Zack Snyder opened a contest/marketing ploy in which fans were asked to make an '80s-style commercial for Veidt Products. The winning commercials would have the chance to be shown in the background of a scene in Watchmen, forever making the winners reall... / Continue →

How much faster and furiouser is Fast and Furious compared to previous Fast and the Furiouses? So fast and furious as to attempt a DRIVE FIVE! (A high five while driving past someone.) So rad. In addition to the above shot and a couple more, USA Today has some quotes from retu... / Continue →

I had my apprehensions about Dragonball, but this banner makes it look like the actors have really captured the vacant, soulless eyes of the original cartoon characters. Full banner behind the cut, because it's stupidly long.... / Continue →

When I began the trailer for Disaster Movie, the new fading-pop-culture-reference film from the makers of Meet the Spartans (who are now calling themselves "the guys who've seen way too many movies" rather than the more accurate "the two despicable retards whose sense of humor ... / Continue →

I guess they're going for a "if a trucker designed a Choose-Your-Own Adventure cover" look. First Look at Rob Zombie's Tyrannosaurus Rex [Shock Till You Drop]... / Continue →

If you've been to the Papa John's Pizza website in the last few days (I don't know how you wouldn't have been, but I'll indulge the faint possibility), you'll have noticed that the page has been updated with the trailer for The Mummy 3: All Wrapped Up in China. It's a perfect f... / Continue →

Well, it appears that my prediction that the next poster would feature a farting Hulk and a tagline saying something about the "green movement" was wrong. Instead, Disaster Movie has chosen the route of referencing either a year-and-a-half old international poster for Knocked U... / Continue →

The official Green Hornet site has been updated with a logo for Seth Rogen's fatter take on the classic hero. If, in two years, you decide to take your wife and newborn child (yes, you have a beautiful baby girl!) to the film, this will probably be the title image greeting you ... / Continue →

A billboard showing off G.I. Joe's new subtitle, Rise of the Cobra, has turned up at Cinema EXPO in Amsterdam (Woo! Amsterdam! Party!). If there was any lingering doubt that this is going to be the action figure-based movie equivalent of Schindler's List, allow me to direct you... / Continue →

Call me naive, but for some reason when Bumblebee was changed from a VW Beetle to a 1976 Camaro for Michael Bay's Transformers, and then from a 1976 Camaro to a 2009 Camaro within the ludicrous narrative, I was under the impression that would be his final vehicle form. As Jalop... / Continue →

George Carlin, the controversial funny-man rumored to have said as many as seven bad words, died Sunday of heart failure at the age of 71. He will be remembered as a great comedian, an actor, and a guru who time-traveled from the year 2688 to help Bill and Ted with their histor... / Continue →

There are two new The Spirit posters! One features the Spirit swiping my famous sexual maneuver (that maneuver being pretending a girl's lip is a button, then going into extreme detail about how my pressing the button sets her mouth to blowjob mode); the other shows Lorelei, th... / Continue →

1. Get Smart - $39.2 million, because $12 had to be spent on something new, and the newer iPods cost more than $12, and, give me a break, The Love Guru? 2. Kung Fu Panda - Another $21.7 million, thanks largely to Jack Black's fearless delivery of such lines as, "Who da man? Pa... / Continue →
