Empire has been on location on the set of Steven Spielberg's chapter of the Tintin trilogy, The Secret of the Unicorn, where the magazine took the above shot of actors Jamie Bell and Andy Serkis motion-capturing their respective parts as Tintin and Captain Haddock. The shot obv... / Continue →

Father Knows Best: the sitcom that created the maxim that would empower fathers for generations. Or maybe fathers were already empowered, and the show's title was simply expressing that paternal bravado. No way to tell, really. Anyway, now the sitcom/phrase is becoming a movie... / Continue →

Even Spiliotopoulos has been handed an unlikely assignment. He's just been hired to write a sequel to last summer's action hit Wanted, even though his previous writing experience includes: Tinker Bell: A Midsummer Storm (2010) (V) (pre-production) (written by) The Hero of C... / Continue →

In an electric blue space of some nature, Steve Zahn--presumably a sort of manager--touches the ass of an inordinately long-legged woman--presumably Jennifer Aniston--prompting her to turn slightly. Yeah, that plays. Management Poster [IMPA]... / Continue →

There's a new trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and things are getting bleak for Harry, red-haired boy, and the girl. "The darkest hour is upon us all," the narrator claims! But also there's some Quidditch. Always time for a little Quidditch. The darkest hour ... / Continue →

The Queen Latifah/Diane Keaton/Katie Holmes comedy Mad Money and Oceans 11 spent twenty minutes under the bleachers, and now we have this:... / Continue →

While looking at other David Lynch animations on YouTube, I just stumbled upon something great: a haunting trailer for A Goofy Movie as re-imagined by the surreal director. Prepare yourself for two minutes of finding Goofy's name completely inappropriate.... / Continue →

If you thought Moby abandoned tunes in favor of making tea and vegan food, you were dead wrong, buddy. He's abandoned that and is still making music, and David Lynch is directing animation to go along with it. Lynch's video for the single "Shot in the Back of the Head" was jus... / Continue →

I have only a dim impression that John Carter of Mars is some kind of space Conan (note: this vague perception is formed almost entirely from the above image), but I am beginning to care more and more about this upcoming film adaptation as I learn more about it. Look who's just... / Continue →

In another upset win, the Chicago Tribune is reporting Crash, the 2005 Academy Award-winning film, is the most queued and received film in the NetFlix catalog: [S]ince its DVD debut in September 2005, "Crash" has remained Netflix's No. 1 rented movie—much to the delight and co... / Continue →

Next time someone tells you that porn acting will never get you a legitimate acting job in an Academy Award-nominated director's film, you tell them, "Yes, that is the statistically relevant way to look at things, but look at these trailers for Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfrien... / Continue →

You aren't the only one getting constant, unwanted Facebook quizzes from idiots you knew in high school. To harbor so much latent teenage resentment, the guy who wrote this film must get like twice as many: Kristen Bell has signed to star in "You Again," the Disney comedy that... / Continue →

This new promo for Inglourious Basterds apparently aired during American Idol (which inexplicably featured Quentin Tarantino as a judge for the second time?) last night, because there's a huge audience cross-over between those who love brutal cinematic violence and those who te... / Continue →

The guys at TwitchFilm, always abreast of developments in Japan's surreal, low-budget, cartoonish gore-filled film scene, have found a new entry in the category that won't disappoint. From Tokyo Gore Police writer Kengo Kaji comes Samurai Princess, a film that nearly matches TG... / Continue →

Could Michel Gondry's The Green Hornet action sequences be met with the same level of imitation/parody as The Matrix? The whimsical director spoke with MTV about what he plans for the film's fight scenes, and it sounds nuts: Gondry explains: “I change the speed of the camera a... / Continue →

I know everyone is excited about Terminator Salvation, but let's not hastily disregard all the other upcoming films with the word "Terminator" in their titles. Asylum Entertainment's The Terminators, for instance. Their Terminator content is pluralized, so you do the math. Here... / Continue →

Some Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen news from Michael Bay's forum: it's AWESOME. To quote Bay: Steven Spielberg sat next to me in a big 100 person theater at Sony today. There were 98 empty seats. The lights came up after we just watched my cut of Revenge of the Fallen. H... / Continue →

When I hear Chris Cunningham had made a new video, based on his previous work, I naturally assume mutants and sexual robots are involved to some extent. So when I heard Chris Cunningham directed a new commercial for Gucci perfume (remember when David Lynch did that?), I was cou... / Continue →

I apologize for the low quality, but when you see an Old Dogs poster, you do not sit on it. The people need to know. How much do you think was saved by using a Phenomenon headshot and a body double making a claw hand in place of Travolta? The answer is: enough to pay for a dow... / Continue →

I'm trying to hard to remain optimistic about Ghostbusters 3. It's all I have. So please, Dan Aykroyd, stop saying vague, worrying things like this: “I know we’ll make that happen. But there will be a whole new generation that has to be trained, and that whole new generation w... / Continue →

Michel Gondry has a new DVD of music videos and crap he's done! Available only on his website, the collection promises three-hours of videos and behind-the-scenes documentation all unique to this release. If it's anything like his Director's Series release, this disc should be ... / Continue →

Looking to out-starstud his previous star-studded, night-themed efforts, Night at the Museum director Shawn Levy has added several more notable names to his upcoming comedy, Date Night: Wahlberg and Franco have signed on for supporting roles in the Shawn Levy-helmed comedy for... / Continue →

I expected a film called Antichrist, directed by The Kingdom's Lars von Trier and starring supercreep Willem Dafoe (along with Science of Sleep's Charlotte Gainsbourg), would leave me a little unsettled. But shame? Come on. Does it have to also make me feel oddly shameful? Exp... / Continue →

Say what you will about "floating head" poster design ("that it's typical, generally unsightly, and insinuates audiences are too stupid to enjoy a movie for anything other than its stars" would be a good start), but at least seeing the disembodied heads of Jason Bateman, Ben Af... / Continue →

ComingSoon has just posted some new photos from the Brazilian set of The Expendables, and I'll tell you, Stallone may be in his 60s, but the guy still manages to look like a Times Square caricature with the arms of a He-Man figure. Amazing.... / Continue →

The Brothers Bloom has been on my movies-I'll-put-forth-effort-to-see radar since the trailer debuted last year, and now writer/director Rian Johnson (Brick!) has revitalized my interest for the May release with a new, hand-drawn poster by his cousin. I'd say the stylized, purp... / Continue →

Welp, Zac Efron is reportedly playing Jonny Quest. Disappointing, but not surprising; the guy had been talked about for the role since rumors started that Warner wanted Jonny to be less towheaded child, more dreamy and kissable. But Geoff Boucher at the L.A. Times has also lear... / Continue →

Thanks to Daniel for passing along this typically hilarious and incisive story from The Onion: Michael Bay Signs $50M Deal To Fuck Up 'Thundercats'. "No filmmaker working today has Bay's ability to somehow direct his actors to be both emotionless and melodramatic at once." So t... / Continue →

I know what you were watching at the theaters this weekend! 1. Hannah Montana The Movie - $34 million. I'm sort of proud I have such a vague understanding of the multiple personas of Miley Cyrus, but at the same time, it's so enormously popular that I also feel really out of t... / Continue →

Hey, everyone, there's now an official Scott Pilgrim vs. the World blog--WITH VIDEO. And that's in addition to director Edgar Wright's daily photo blog! We Scott Pilgrim fans are going to need one of those browsers that can do the tabbing just to keep up with all this Pilgrim s... / Continue →
