Friday morning is off to a fantastic start thanks to a new offering of Comic-Con preview images from Entertainment Weekly. The two most notable images are of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark in Iron Man 2, and Mia Wasikowska as Alice in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The Tony Stark image is likely taken just after he's had a tussle with Whiplash. The third and most eye-catching image comes from Zombieland starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Emma Stone. It features a lucky child actor who will forever have bragging rights on her classmates. The final image comes from Stargate Universe and gives a flavor of the more dramatic and sexual tone the producers are going for. Executive producer Robert Cooper offers this preview, "Out are the rubber-faced, alien, English-speaking bad guys; in is a darker, sexier, more character-driven story about a group of civilians, scientists,

Columbia Pictures released the latest one-sheet for its upcoming horror comedy "Zombieland". Even thought it's sporting an impressive cast consisting of Woody Harrelson, Amber Heard, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, etc., there's not a single floating head on the artwork! "Entertainment Weekly" also posted some new image from the movie. A cowardly shut-in named Columbus (Eisenberg) is forced to join up with a seasoned zombie slayer named Tallahassee (Harrelson) in order to survive. As Tallahassee sets out on a mission to find the last Twinkie on Earth, the two men meet up with Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), two young girls who have resorted to some rather unorthodox methods to survive amidst the chaos. Reluctant partners in the battle against the undead, all...

Lindsay Lohan's fake-baby movie, Labor Pains, may not be the comeback LiLo fans were hoping for, but that doesn't mean you need huddle in the corner, clutching your Mean Girls DVD and whispering "stop trying to make fetch happen" over and over. In honor of the Labor Pain's premiere this Sunday (July 19) on ABC Family, we've made a list of reasons "direct-to-tv" doesn't mean Lohan's star has fallen from the sky.
1) ABC Family is good layover on your way to DVD.
A direct-to-dvd movie is like a stray dog: it shows up unannounced, and even if the packaging is cute there's a pretty good chance you're not going to take it home. Labor Pains is escaping that fate by stopping over at ABC Family, where it has gotten loads of publicity.
2) Most of the promos for Labor Pains aired during Potter-mania.
Is there a better time to get word

The final image at the end of the trailer for Zombieland was a preview of what to expect from the film's first poster; except for the fact that it's even cooler.
Poster: Zombieland
Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn.t have fears. If he did, he.d kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they.re about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.
The poster for Zombieland is so cool that I would love to see the whole Planet-effect done more often. Here we see what remains of Earth in artistic form. Pretty badass, right?

Columbia Pictures revealed the poster for Zombieland, the upcoming comedy with Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg (Adventureland), Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), and Emma Stone (Superbad) — and a possible cameo from Matthew McConaughey. For a zombie movie, it has a surprising amount of Hollywood talent, especially with a first-time director in Ruben Fleischer.
Harrelson explained to ShockTilYouDrop that his involvement in the movie started with the script, written by former reality TV writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick:
No, I never thought about [being in a zombie movie] honestly until I saw and read the script. I thought the script was phenomenal. And then I met Reuben and really liked him and I thought this guy is a go-getter. He's really going to make a terrific movie and so far I'm really impressed with him.
Early buzz on Zombieland has been very positive. A script review praised Zombieland, saying the movie "has all the potential

A whole bunch of new posters have hit in the last few days, but this is the one I wanted to feature the most. Before I go on, though, Focus also put out a nifty Qr code poster for Shane Acker's 9 - check that out here. However, this dark, gritty poster you see below is obviously for Zombieland, the new zombie movie from Ruben Fleischer. I'm sure we'll see another poster closer to the release that features the faces of Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, but until then, we've got this work of art to marvel at. In case you missed either of these, you can watch the first trailer or read our report from the set of Zombieland as well. Columbus (Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him.

Jesse Eisenberg vs. Woody Harrelson? Who ya got? Well if you’re blessed with common sense, you’d go with Woody. But since this is a movie probably made by a former nerd, go with the nerdy looking guy, aka Jesse’s character. Here’s a one-sheet for Ruben Fleischer’s “Zombieland”, which, I believe, promises destruction on a global scale. Or at least, lots of zombies. Then again, I don’t see any zombies in the poster, but perhaps the explosions are, you know, symbolic of zombies. Or some such. Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn’t have fears. If he did, he’d kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they’re about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other. Starring: Mila Kunis,

What is Zombieland? Why does everyone keep on talking about it? Yes, I was thinking about that last night when someone mentioned it to me. There are so many zombie movies as comparison to vampire movies that are spawning nowadays, its just overall hard to keep track of what is what. After a little bit of digging though, this picture is not quite as serious or generic as it could initially appear.

Reco Jeans, the eco-friendly, fashion forward brand, is launching a new line of recycled denim and the company is using actor Woody Harrelson and singer Alanis Morissette as spokes persons.
According to the company's website, Reco is the only company to use an innovative new recycled fabric solely on all denim products. The company also takes all of the leftover denim, thread, rough edges and unused material and intertwines it with a combination of recycled and fresh cottons to make a recycled denim fabric.
The company also claims that their jeans are made up with 300 percent more recycled denim fibers that its competitors. Even the tags on the jeans are printed on both recycled and or plantable seeded paper. The jeans should hit the market later this year, with the price point yet to be determined.

As they join forces with Wichita (Stone) and Little Rock (Breslin), who have also found unique ways to survive the zombie mayhem, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies.

Columbia Pictures released the latest one-sheet for its upcoming horror comedy Zombieland today, and it's so much better than we could have hoped for.

A cowardly shut-in named Columbus (Eisenberg) is forced to join up with a seasoned zombie slayer named Tallahassee (Harrelson) in order to survive.

Penelope Cruz wore some very loose-fitting clothes while lounging around the French Riviera with Javier Bardem earlier today. We wouldn't expect the private couple to ever address the rumors that Penelope is pregnant, but the recent string of flowy shirts and extra affection doesn't quiet them either. She and Javier welcomed Woody Harrelson and other guests who headed out together on a boat this morning. There's something about the South of France that gets Penelope and Javier to cozy up together though we'll see if she takes after her lookalike sister who stripped down to her bikini while on vacation over the weekend.
