In Oliver Stone's Savages, John Carter's Taylor Kitsch and Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson play a couple high-profile drug dealers just looking for a peaceful life of selling pot and having sex with Blake Lively--who, in the "hit it and pass it" spirit of the dealers' product, bounces between the two guys with all the looseness and carefree freedom of their aloha shirts. Lively also plays narrator of this tale, and in this first trailer for the film, she is quick to inform us that she might actually be dead, recording voice-over from the grave, so keep that in mind. This could be a spooky story told by a wrathful phantom of Green Lantern!
And what is this possible-ghost's story? Well, mostly that she gets kidnapped by Benicio del Toro. He's a henchman to Salma Hayek, head of a drug cartel that tried to get in business with John Carter and Kick-Ass but was rebuffed, leading her to abduct their timeshare Gossip Girl. Needless to say, our drug-dealing heroes are very displeased they have lost their mutual girlfriend who may or may not be a spectral raconteur. So, they put on their favorite Día de los Muertos commemorative masks and GO SAVAGE. "Savage" being when you blow shit up and shoot some guys, I guess.

An extended look at Green Lantern screened at WonderCon this weekend, delighting nerds looking to see some of their favorite intergalactic comics characters rendered in relatively convincing CGI. Now, an abbreviated edit of that footage has come online and you too can see all the really cool and recognizable scenes that will break up the tedium of the love story, roommate scenes, and "this is toooo weird" wisecracks. Have at it:

As Fox 2000 searches for someone to convincingly stare longingly into the dim eyes of Twilight's Native Were-merican, Taylor Lautner, the studio is down to three actresses to start opposite him in Incarceron. Emma Watson, Blake Lively, and Jennifer Lawrence are reportedly the frontrunners for the female lead in the adaptation of the sci-fi/fantasy jail-world film.
Honestly, Watson seems the obvious choice, yeah? The legions of Twihards, the Harry Potter die-hards... what a sad little mixer we could have!
Also: did you realize Taylor Lautner makes 8 figures a film now? That is so many figures.
One of the bigger question marks on my personal Will-It-Be-Shitty? superhero movie board has been Martin Campbell's adaptation of Green Lantern. Up until this trailer, I wasn't too convinced either way, and now that I've watched it a couple times... I'm still not that convinced either way--and now, on top of that, I'm also not convinced Green Lantern's thoroughly-unnecessary roommate character is or is not a cast member on Big Bang Theory. But I am definitely convinced Peter Sarsgaard's increasingly-freakish head is pretty great, so that's something.
Let's watch.

I don't know what happened with all the other gals Christopher Nolan was sizing up for The Dark Knight Rises, but now Deadline is reporting Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, and Keira Knightley are in the running for parts in the next Batman film. Supposedly there are two parts to be cast--one a Bat-love-interest, one a villain--though no specific roles have been named, so start the Catwoman/Talia al Ghul/Vicky Vale/Whoever Elle Macpherson Was speculation.
As Baz Luhrmann begins work on making yet another The Great Gatsby adaptation--this one with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire as Gatsby and Nick Carraway, respectively--he's apparently using Marc Webb's method of finding a female lead: meeting with as many attractive young ladies as possible. The Moulin Rouge director is reportedly considering a sizable list of hot potential candidates to play Daisy: he's already had The Town's Rebecca Hall read with DiCaprio, and he's hoping Keira Knightley, Amanda Seyfried, Blake Lively, Abbie Cornish, Michelle Williams, Natalie Portman, and Scarlett Johansson will all test before he makes a decision. If he can also convince them to pose for a calendar, he will have finished the transition into '80s college movie protagonist.
Meanwhile, Cameron Crowe is working on getting someone to star opposite Matt Damon in We Bought a Zoo, his film about some people who bought a zoo. According to Deadline, he too wants Scarlett Johansson, but is also considering Amy Adams, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Rachel McAdams for the part. Tough decisions abound. Perhaps if all of Luhrmann's and Crowe's candidates kissed...
I hope you like mustaches and a lot of forehead, because you're getting both with these new Green Lantern posters--featuring the Green Lantern oath and our first look at Mark Strong as Sinestro. I'm still not sure if I'm sold on this production, but I will give it that it has the villains that most make me want to call Special Victims Unit on them.

A new Ben Affleck movie from "the acclaimed director of Gone Baby Gone" (also Ben Affleck, but director Ben Affleck likes to refer to himself as that now to avoid confusing the two sides of the Affleck talent coin, a la Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana) is soon headed your way; how would you like to decide whether it's worth spending money on with a trailer? In the film, Actor Affleck plays a Point Break-enthusiast who dresses like a death metal homage to Scrooged's Ghost of Christmas Future and robs banks. While off duty from bank robbing, he falls in love with some lady (Rebecca Hall), but--ut oh!--it turns out she was at his last robbery and was totally traumatized by it! Sounds like a conflict to resolve by film's end! Also starring: Chris Cooper, Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively, and Mad Men, playing the stern FBI agent we all knew he would obviously have to play some day. What a cast the acclaimed director of Gone Baby Gone got for himself.

Ready for more Green Lantern photos to fill your brain with the milky taste of apathy? Because iFanboy has some scans from the interior of the new, G.L.-dense Entertainment Weekly to wet your beak. Don't worry; the photos don't all look as much like an impotence doctor ad as this one.

From the murky pool of CW actors, Blake Lively has been plucked out of that Gossip Girl show to play the probable-non-character ladyfriend of a superhero man:
Blake Lively has nabbed the female lead opposite Ryan Reynolds in Warner Bros.' "Green Lantern."
Lively will play Carol Ferris, who runs her father's aerospace company and hires cocky test pilot Hal Jordan (Reynolds), who later becomes the intergalactic policeman Green Lantern.
I'd love to tell you more about if this is a good or bad decision, but unfortunately no human currently exists with intimate knowledge of both Gossip Girl actors and Green Lantern's sexual relationships.

Here's the trailer to New York, I Love You (the thematic sequel to Paris, je t'aime), the upcoming film in which 13 directors pretend there aren't already a lot of movies proclaiming love for New York and make some of their own. Who are these directors? All your favorites. Rush Hour director Brett Ratner? Got him. Natalie Portman the Director? She's there. Natalie Portman's Other Boleyn Girl co-star, Scarlett Johansson the Director? Yup. Plus, it stars everyone, and is going to make Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon ridiculously easy from now on.

As the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 poster proudly proclaims, "some friends just fit together," y'know? Particularly when you're able to digitally manipulate said friends' heads into a TV-themed mass of hair and teeth. Making this poster must have been like playing Tetris with tumors.
Notably absent: any trace of pants.
A 'Traveling Pants 2' Poster with No Pants? [Rope of Silicon]
As far as communicable-jeans-as-storytelling-device productions go, the offerings have been tragically slim in recent years. Outside of Levi's commercials, where's a man to go to follow pants around a series of eye-roll-inducing romances? Sensing my plight, Ugly Betty, Gilmore Girl, Gossip Girl, and Joan of Arcadia have re-teamed to take their shape-shifting jeans on even more giggling adventures in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. This trailer will hopefully satiate my desire to experience girls doing stuff until the film's release--or at least until the next Babysitters Club book arrives.
Thanks, Kyle.
