While we're on the subject of Brad Pitt, here he is on the set of Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds [sic!]. Hard to tell much from the shot, but with that white screen behind him, they've at least got a great start on a movie poster: (High resolution of the original a... / Continue →

It's sort of official: the rumor that Brett Ratner is directing the new Conan film is true. AICN reports: Let’s be clear... stop calling [Conan] a remake. They’re not doing the Milius film. They’re starting over from the original stories. So it’s relly wrong to call this thing... / Continue →

Well, it sounds like a He-Man movie probably isn't going to happen. Sorry, everyone who really wanted a He-Man movie. From Latino Review: So what is the latest on one of my favorite scripts of the year – Justin Marks’ GRAYSKULL? Nothing. As it stands, the project is dead at ... / Continue →

Why would you take a by-the-books Owen Wilson/Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy and combine it with the dog-as-a-mildly-sentient-asshole antics of Marmaduke? Because it's possible! My favorite part is when "Bad to the Bone" starts playing. At that point I know, this dog must be... / Continue →

If you go to see Max Payne this weekend, Cinema Blend has tip for you: remain comatose an extra five minutes, and you get an extra scene past the credits! Much like Jon Favreau did with Iron Man this summer, director John Moore has included a scene at the very end of Max Payne... / Continue →

A month or so ago, Kevin Smith got into some trouble with the MPAA when his posters implied fully-clothed oral sex, leading to a marketing switch that produced a series of stick figure-based ads that proclaimed they had "made a movie so titillating that we can only show you thi... / Continue →

A year ago, Sean Astin was telling MTV that Goonies 2 was an "absolute certainty." Apparently that's no longer the case, as Richard Donner has told Variety that, despite his best efforts to taint my nostalgia, it "simply didn't pan out." Rumors have been swirling for years abo... / Continue →

Here's a new trailer for the Swedish, My Girl-with-draculas movie, Let the Right One In. It's basically like the last trailer, except this one is red-band, and thus has slightly more blood and people flailing while on fire. If you haven't seen this yet, you must. It's setting a... / Continue →

The trailer to The Haunting in Connecticut has been released, and I'm a bit disappointed. Sure, there was plenty of haunting, but where was all the Connecticut? I saw a ghost watching television, but nothing of the historic lighthouse and nature preserve on Sheffield Island. Th... / Continue →

Good idea getting in for a close-up. After the last few trailers, the less you show of this thing the better.... / Continue →

This Friday's Entertainment Weekly cover has a special surprise, nerds: it's New Spock and New Kirk! Despite being airbrushed into an oblivion of smooth flesh and some hair, I have to say, Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine look the parts. Sure, Quinto also looks the part of DJ from... / Continue →

America's Sweetheart elect (believe me, she will soon officially be America's Sweetheart), Amy Adams, is in negotiations to star in Leap Year, a high concept romantic comedy from the writers of Made of Honor. Well, that sounds thoroughly unwatchable. Still though, tell us more,... / Continue →

Since when do directors make short tribute films to other films that haven't even come out yet? We're doing that now? OK, fine. Here's something Tony Kaye made to promote Mean Magazine and Zack & Miri Make a Porno (I think?) starring Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen as wacky, abs... / Continue →

"Haunting this weekend, guys! Should be sweet. Where is it, you asked? Well... that the thing: it's in Connecticut. I know, I know, no one wants to make the trip out to Connecticut just for a haunting, but I hear this is going to be a really awesome haunting, with a lot of girl... / Continue →

Here's an early trailer for Franklyn, a film where, uh... I don't really know what's going on. The best I can describe it is intertwining stories, a parallel universe, Ryan Phillipe as a masked vigilante, some Dark City imagery, and some other stuff. Here's the summary: Frankl... / Continue →

Empire has premiered the UK poster for Easy Virtue, the upcoming adaptation of the Noel Coward play of the same name. Unfortunately, it looks like they accidentally posted an uncompleted version of the poster. Here's the final: I like how it reminds me of how great chihuahu... / Continue →

Here's the poster for Up, the movie where Pixar will prove to everyone, "Look, we can even animate a really old man and you'll still love it." It's just some balloons carrying a house, but since it's Pixar, we know each of those balloons is full of a child's dream/soul, and are... / Continue →

This is how they're marketing Street Fighter? A petulant youth staring at me like I'm her father who showed up to pick her up from the mall too early, embarrassing her in front of all her friends? That's awful. Actually, come to think of it, shame might be the best way to sell... / Continue →

It still makes no sense to me that JCVD looks good. It seems so desperate and easy, Jean-Claude Van Damme agreeing to play himself, mocking his career--like so many scandal-makers doing SNL cameos to win back the public--but somehow it works. Even with this brief trailer, Van D... / Continue →
