15 June 2013 5:25 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Actress Jennifer Connelly is sporting a whole new look after chopping off her trademark long, dark locks of hair. Though she's covered the spectrum in acting roles, she's always done it with long hair.
Jennifer was spotted with the new hairstyle Tuesday, June 11, while walking around New York City, though the shorter cut dates back as far as March. No word on if the new hair is for a role, though she has three movies currently in post-production, including "Winter's Tale" which also stars Will Smith, Russell Crowe and Colin Farrell.
So what do you think? Is this new look working for Jennifer, or are you hoping she grows her hair back out? Let yourself be heard via the poll below:

The Muppets...Again Becomes Muppets Most Wanted, Disney Announces Planes: Fire and Rescue
13 June 2013 5:01 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Shortly after announcing the release dates of two untitled Marvel movies, Walt Disney Pictures announced Planes: Fire & Rescue, a sequel to this summer's Disney's Planes, which is arriving in theaters rather quickly with a July 18th, 2014 release date already planned. This was originally set to be a direct-to-dvd franchise, but it looks as though Disney has enough confidence to make it a theatrical enterprise. No further details have been given at this time.
Also announced was a new title for The Muppets...Again, which is now Muppets Most Wanted. It will keep its original release date of March 21, 2014. Disney's Muppets Most Wanted takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour where they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper. The comedy stars Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey.
Saving Mr. Banks has been given a limited release date on December 13, 2013, with its wide release date of December 20, 2013 unchanged. »

We're just over a month away from Comic-Con in San Diego where we'll hopefully be seeing some promising snippets of the films to come in the next couple years.

In addition, one particular title change for an anticipated sequel has been made and two new projects from Marvel Studios have been dated, though we likely won't hear details about those until Comic-Con, or maybe the studio's D23 expo this year. Here's a rundown of the projects with new release dates and information straight from Walt Disney Studios: Saving Mr. Banks Release Date: Limited 12/13/13, Wide 12/20/13 Cast: Tom Hanks, Emma Thompson, Colin Farrell, Paul Giamatti, Jason Schwartzman Director: John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) Synopsis: Inspired by true events, »

11 June 2013 9:39 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Starring Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Terrence Howard, Dominic Cooper, Isabelle Huppert, Luis Da Silva Jr. and Wade Barrett.
Synopsis:
In New York City, a crime lord's right-hand man is seduced by a woman seeking retribution.
Dead Man Down is a perfectly serviceable B-movie with enough character and story developments and twists to keep its audience satisfied even though it never threatens to be anything above its station.
The screenplay starts nicely as the action begins three months into a plan set out by Victor (Colin Farrell), a gang member working for and hatching a plot against his boss (Terrence Howard) for the death of his wife and daughter. Victor has been sending sections of a photograph of him and his dead family to his boss as a ‘calling card’, patiently reeling him in and the thugs which carried out the murder. The »

Everything You Need to Know About Henry Cavill
10 June 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
So, you might think the only thing you really need to know about "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill is that he's a gorgeous dead ringer for the role of Superman, and, well, you're partially right about that.
But there's actually a lot of other nitty-grittiness worth learning about the British hunkster.
For example, if we may, did you know that the blue-eyed babe could've very easily wound up sporting a different sort of uniform altogether ... as a member of the British Army? Or that he has two middle names, one of which is Dalgliesh? Fancy!
Before you head out to see a bird, a plane Mr. Cavill saving school buses full of children and fighting an enraged Michael Shannon in theaters June 14, study up on these ten deets about the dude behind the non-mask and you'll be a Henry Cavill superfan faster than a speeding bullet.

10 June 2013 1:13 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
The 12th annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball on Saturday in La brought out plenty of stars in support of the organization's cause. Rebecca Gayheart acted as cochair for the event, which raised funds to help homeless and low-income individuals find employment, and she had husband Eric Dane on hand for support. New Girl's Max Greenfield acted as the evening's host, while Colin Farrell, Chris Pine, and Ali Larter watched in the audience. It was an especially big night for Cory Monteith and Lea Michele, though, since it was Cory's return to the red carpet following his stint in rehab, which ended in April. He and Lea have been out and about since then, catching a Canucks game and even taking a vacation to Mexico in May, but the event marked his first official public appearance. View Slideshow › »

Where can you go that causes incredible amounts of pain, grief and emotional struggles? No, we don't mean your mother-in-law's house, high school or Burger King. For the ultimate collection of everything tragic in this world, look no further than your corner phone booth. A haven to Superman, we've noticed that the phone booth is a hellish place for seemingly everyone else in the world.
Phone booths bring out the worst in humanity, and movies prove this. These little glass boxes serve up heaping slices of horror every time an unsuspecting person steps inside.
Don't believe us? Check out this supercut by Slacktory; these poor souls never saw it coming. From Will Ferrell's emotional breakdown in "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" to Luke Wilson's fight for survival in "Vacancy" to Colin Farrell's sniper call in the appropriately titled "Phone Booth," the terrifying truth is in the telephonic pudding. »

Angelina Jolie’s 5 Most Over-The-Top Film Fashions
4 June 2013 3:24 PM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
Birthday dame Angelina Jolie is divinely over the top in movies. Let’s reinspect.
Angelina Jolie turns 38 today, and though the woman has had a devastating (and bravely self-disclosed) year of health scares, let’s remember one way in which she’s always managed to heal us: extremely bizarre fashions on film. Here are her five most over-the-top film fashions.
5. Changeling
It was a close tie between The Tourist, Life or Something Like It, and Changeling for fifth place, but I’m happy to give the spot to Clint Eastwood‘s baby mixup drama. For being such a distinct-looking actress, it’s kind of shocking how much Jolie’s appearance can transform. If I didn’t tell you, you might think that was Norah Jones, Marion Cotillard, or Natalie Imbruglia. Admit it. That hat, though — some Little Edie cred going on up in here.

Colin Farrell Works Up a Shirtless Sweat
4 June 2013 8:23 AM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
Colin Farrell kept cool by going shirtless after a sweaty yoga workout in La with a female friend yesterday. His many tattoos were on display as he walked alongside his pal, and the two laughed while holding onto their yoga mats. Colin is back in La after wrapping up two big movies. He recently finished filming Miss Julie in his native Ireland alongside Jessica Chastain and kept busy earlier in the year by working on Winter's Tale in NYC. Colin has also been hard at work on the promotional trail for his newest project, Epic, in which he voiced the character of Ronin, but took a break last month to celebrate Memorial Day at Joel Silver's annual bash in Malibu. The party wasn't the only recent fun for Colin, since he also marked his 37th birthday last Friday. View Slideshow › »

'After Earth' Loses Big Box Office Upset
2 June 2013 10:29 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Will Smith just broke his winning streak with the release of "After Earth." The highly publicized sci-fi film hit theaters this weekend, taking the number three spot at the box office. This is the first time in twenty years that Will Smith has starred in a summer movie that hasn't debuted at number one, THR reports. Led by director M. Night Shyamalan, and also starring Smith's son Jaden Smith, "After Earth" made $27 million at 3,401 theaters. The movie was panned by critics, already dubbed a "bomb" and a "catastrophe." The end-of-the-world film, which earned a CinemaScore of B from moviegoers, had an estimated budget of $130 million. Sony acknowledged the less-than-stellar results, saying in a statement, "While we were expecting more domestically, we believe the film will perform strongly when we open overseas over the next few weeks."
Taking the top spot this weekend was the latest in the "Fast & Furious" franchise. »
