The Twilight Saga is nearing its graduation, but already there's a new student glaring around the School for Supernatural Longing and CW-Level Melodrama. This time a girl is the supernatural being/stock Halloween costume! And she's a witch or something. And she has a hand tattoo that counts down each day, using the powerful magic of calendars. Here's the trailer.
In The Words, Bradley Cooper and Ben Barnes--separated from one another by decades, Cooper in the present and Barnes in some de-saturated time in the past--each struggle with writer's block, get inspired by a beautiful woman, and are finally met with rejection after completing a book they thought would be their magnum opus. Parallels! Their stories diverge, however, when Cooper's fate changes quickly and dramatically after he finds an old manuscript tucked away atop what looks like an attic Slip 'n Slide. Cleverly re-typing the found book into a Word document, thus avoiding the questions that come with turning in 200 yellowing ink-smeared pages, Cooper takes credit for the tale and quickly becomes the darling of the literary community, but understandably feels some guilt over how he just found the book on some yellow plastic sheeting. Making that guilt even worse--and more THRILLING, because this is supposedly a thriller--Jeremy Irons somehow meets Cooper on a park bench and reveals: "IT'S HEAVILY-IMPLIED I'M AGED BEN BARNES. Also, I'm clearly the one who wrote that book you stole. Was it not obvious that's where this was going?"
Zoe Saldana co-stars as Cooper's girlfriend/muse, while Dennis Quaid and Olivia Wilde also show up in a context not really explored in this trailer, but there's probably a reason.
Hey, remember that financial crisis? Phew, sure glad that's completely over. And now that we're so far removed from that time wherein America's financial history looked so highly questionable, let's take a look back at it and see what got us there. How? By watching Zachary Quinto, Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Paul Bettany, Demi Moore, Stanley Tucci, and The Mentalist as they stare at screens, talk on phones, and utter vague things about "figures" in this trailer for Margin Call:
- Apparently it "appears doubtful" NBC will pick up Wonder Woman, so we may never get to see and cruelly mock whatever the third costume with the shorts is. Shame, that.
- Alexander Skarsgard will join Julianne Moore and Steve Coogan in Scott McGehee and David Siegel's contemporary adaptation of the Henry James novel What Maisie Knew. Moore and Coogan are playing Maisie's divorced parents, while Skarsgard still isn't Thor, and that's probably all he's really thinking about right now.
- Tim Robbins will co-star with Mark Ruffalo in The Kids Are Alright writer Stuart Blumbert's directorial debut, Thanks for Sharing, concerning characters in a New York City sex addict recovery program. First lesbians, and now sex addicts? Is there any taboo subject Blumbert won't touch, that hasn't already been a Showtime series?
- Bradley Cooper, Dennis Quaid, Jeremy Irons, and Zoe Saldana will star in The Words, a film that "follows a successful writer who discovers he has to pay a price for stealing another man's work." Sounds like Brad Cooper is totally failing Journalism for copying and pasting from Wikipedia.
