You've seen Titanic updated with 3D and a more scientifically-accurate night sky; now, see the 1997 classic with its most technologically-amazing upgrade yet: the addition of former Law & Order star Jeremy Sisto. In this just-released Kate Winslet screen test--included on the Titanic Blu-ray, out today!--have a glimpse of an awkward pairing that could have been with eight minutes of Winslet acting opposite Sisto's flat, charisma-devoid take on Jack. It's pretty weird.

Titanic is headed back to theaters this April, so to remind anyone who's forgotten what Titanic is, there's now a special trailer for the 3D release. And in an introduction by James Cameron, the director thanks us (again?) for being true to Titanic, closing his awkward message with the words, "Thanks again for staying true to Titanic." I think I speak for us all when I respond: No problem, Jim. We would never dream of being untrue to Titanic. We will always be true to Titanic, no matter what the fuck you mean by that.
Also, if it wasn't clear, this trailer is not 3D, so you'll just have to imagine the visuals surrounding you like the wailing of Celine Dion.

If the trailer for Ghost Rider was too fanciful a jaunt into the realm of flame excretion for your tastes, here's a film seemingly tailor-made to make you livid with the feeling that DON'T I GET ENOUGH ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT AT HOME? In Roman Polanski's Carnage (abbreviated from the play God of Carnage) Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, Kate Winslet, and Christoph Waltz star as a pair of couples at odds over a playground altercation between their kids. As they talk, drink, and sort out the details of who's paying the dental repair bills, tensions rise, and everyone starts shouting so much. Turn down your headphones, because all this screaming is going to wake your mindbaby.

In Steven Soderbergh's Contagion, the world faces the threat of a new, deadly airborne virus that's highly contagious, hard to fight, and seems to possess enough pop culture knowledge to know to make killing Gwyneth Paltrow a priority. Scary! Here's the first trailer for the thriller, which stars far more people than you think it's going to star. It starts off and you're like, "Alright, so we've got Matt Damon and Paltrow in this, got it," but then there's more! Kate Winslet? Laurence Fishburne? The Not David Spade from Just Shoot Me? Marion Cotillard? Ken Jeong? No, that wasn't Ken Jeong, but that is Jude Law with a wonky tooth! This could be a good one.

- The King's Speech director Tom Hooper is still doing another Les Misérables film, and he'd reportedly like Hugh Jackman for Jean Valjean and Paul Bettany for Inspector Javert. Their on-screen pursuit will mirror their off-screen rivalry to compete for the more forgettable vampire-hunting character, or something!
- Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin will star, respectively, as "a lost, lonesome mother" and a convicted killer taking refuge with her and her child in Jason Reitman's Labor Day. Hey, Reitman, I liked it more when it was called "a really good episode of COPS"!
- In a perfect marriage of oeuvre and project title, Con Air and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider director Simon West is going to direct The Expendables 2.
- Apparently Lucasfilms' plan to convert the entire Star Wars series, one by one (beginning with The Phantom Menace, naturally), into 3-D theatrical releases will only continue so long as the films are successful; if they aren't, "then there will be just one [episode converted to 3D]." So be prepared for some possible changes if children suddenly stop liking Star Wars and 3-D shit.
- Oh, and if you want a possible spoiler about The Batman, here's that:

Now that MGM has finally rolled enough of their bowls of loose change to slowly climb out of bankruptcy, time for the studio system's most notable paupers to get to work on all the huge franchises they've been sitting on. Their whites-only production of The Hobbit is already well underway, so next up: James Bond. We know James Arnold is already working on the music for the series' 23rd film, but is Sam Mendes still attached like he was nearly a year ago? Probably! His wife Kate Winslet told the Daily Mail:
‘Sam is doing the next Bond film, all being well, and we’ll all be in England if that happens. It’s such a massive commitment for him and it’s not fair for him to commute backwards and forwards to New York from London. It would be impossible. The children will be there with me,’
Sounds like MGM's finally getting its shit together, yeah? It will probably be months before more sequels The Pink Panther, Agent Cody Banks, and Stargate again leave them desperate and penniless.
Well, it looks like no one's holding too much of a grudge against Roman Polanski for once again dodging his jail sentence. Deadline has news the director has lined up an impressive cast of Oscar winners for his next film, an adaptation of Yasmina Reza’s Tony Award-winning play God of Carnage. With production beginning in February--in France, naturally--Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, and Christoph Waltz (the report originally claimed Matt Dillon as well, but his name has since been removed) have all signed on to star in the movie as parents engaged in an increasingly bitter argument following a playground incident. If they're lucky, maybe Polanski will broach the subject of being a convicted sex offender on the run from U.S. law enforcement on the first day of shooting--just to avoid the awkwardness, otherwise.
I've always wondered what people who read books are like. I bet they're really interesting, and usually have things to talk about that they've read, and do you think they smell nice? I bet they smell nice. With any luck, maybe I'll know one of these "readers" one day, but until then, I'll have to settle for this film about one.
In The Reader, Ralph Fiennes recollects how, as a teen, he had an affair with Kate Winslet that also involved him reading to her. Later, he would find out she was a Nazi, and had forced imprisoned Jews to read to her too. Ralph Fiennes thought he was special! But no, she just did that to everyone. Here's the trailer:

Looks like anyone looking for a return to the Kate/Leo romance of Titanic is in for some disappointment. In this trailer for Sam Mendes's Revolutionary Road, there is no naked charcoal drawing, no king of the world yelling, no breaking socioeconomic boundaries in the name of transatlantic lust. These two are constantly yelling at each other, like real couples, instead of being the most in love humans have ever been, like fictional couples on boats. What I'm saying is this looks much better than Titanic.

I can't figure out why the poster calls this Revolutionary Road instead of its obvious real name, Titanic 2. Or why it says it's "based on the novel by Richard Yates," instead of "based on how Jack and Rose love each other so hard that even death could not stop them from being together." And why does the couple appear to be in a naturally lit home, rather than the largest boat of their time? The studio probably just didn't want this to immediately beat all of Titanic 1's box office records in the first weekend.
