Must Watch: General Zod Unleashed in Epic 'Man of Steel' Trailer
1 hour ago
"Surrender within 24 hours, or watch this world suffer the consequences." Out of nowhere, one more threat from Michael Shannon as villain General Zod has surfaced in a trailer for Man of Steel. With a whole slew of new footage featuring the alien villain threatening Earth and the last son of Krypton, this trailer is even better than the full length trailer that came out about a month ago. Shannon might give Benedict Cumberbatch a run for his money as best villainous performance in this year's summer blockbusters. This trailer delivers all the action fans have wanted from a Superman movie for decades. Watch the trailer now! Here's the new trailer for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel from Warner Bros. Pictures: Man of Steel, the new DC Comics Superman reboot, is being directed by Zack Snyder, of Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen & Sucker Punch previously. Christopher Nolan is producing, and »

Watch: Ben Schwartz Pitches Films to Owen Wilson & Vince Vaughn
9 hours ago
Wedding Crashers stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are reteaming this summer for The Internship, which feels a bit like an unofficial sequel to the 2005 comedy. Shawn Levy is behind the camera this time for the story of two middle aged guys struggling to stay employed in a fast-moving, technology-based world. But before that script came along, Wilson and Vaughn were on the hunt for a project, and Ben Schwartz (Jean Ralphio from "Parks & Recreation") had a whole slew of good ideas for them including The Hobbit, and a buddy comedy with Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth. Watch it! Here's the segment from The Big Live Comedy Show from YouTube's Comedy Week, via Ben Schwartz: Vince Vaughn & Owen Wilson play two old school salesmen who, finding themselves suddenly unemployed and passed-by in the digital world, try to reinvent themselves by becoming interns at a major tech company.

Spike Jonze's 'Her' with Joaquin Phoenix Gets November Release
10 hours ago
Late last fall, details of Spike Jonze's most recent film with Joaquin Phoenix finally had some story details and a title locked down. Her is a quirky romance following Theodore (Phoenix), a lonely writer purchases a newly developed operating system (not unlike iPhone's Siri) designed to meet the user’s every needs. To Theodore’s surprise, a romantic relationship develops between him and his operating system. This unconventional love story blends science fiction and romance in a sweet tale that explores the nature of love and the ways that technology isolates and connects us all. And now the film has a release date. More below! Erc Box Office (via SlashFilm) says Her will hit theaters on November 20th this year, which likely means it has a chance at landing some awards for Annapurna Pictures, the same company behind last year's Zero Dark Thirty. In addition to Phoenix, the cast also includes Rooney Mara, »

Simple Poster for Woody Allen's 'Blue Jasmine' with Cate Blanchett
12 hours ago
It's summer again, which means it's time for another Woody Allen film. The director has been churning out a new original film every single year for a long time now, and this year is no exception. Last year's To Rome with Love wasn't exactly a home run, but there was some sharp writing and great performances as usual. This year, Allen's film is Blue Jasmine, but as has become standard with everyone of his films, the plot details are still kept under wraps. Anyway, it's the cast that should draw audiences including Cate Blanchett (featured on the first poster below) Alec Baldwin, Louis C.K., Bobby Cannavale and Andrew Dice Clay. And that's not even the whole cast. Hopefully we'll get a trailer soon. Poster below! Here's the first poster for Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine from Imp Awards: Blue Jasmine is written and directed by Academy Award winning filmmaker Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris, »

Watch: Full Us Trailer for Neil Jordan's Vampire Drama 'Byzantium'
12 hours ago
Before the whole vampire craze, director Neil Jordan crafted his relatively controversial film Interview with the Vampire, based on Anne Rice's book. Now Jordan is heading back into bloodsucking territory with Byzantium, and a new domestic trailer shows the unique film isn't just capitalizing on a trend. With a story that spans centuries, two young vampires get into trouble in present day when Clara's (Gemma Arterton) brothel business and Eleanor's (Saoirse Ronan) relationship with a sick young boy (Caleb Landry Jones) threatens to expose their immortal secret and put their lives in jeopardy. Watch below! Here's the new trailer for Neil Jordan's Byzantium, originally from Apple: Byzantium is directed by Irish filmmaker Neil Jordan, of the films Mona Lisa, The Crying Game, The End of the Affair, The Good Thief, Breakfast on Pluto, The Brave One and Ondine previously, as well as work on "The Borgias". The screenplay was written by Moira Buffini, »

Park Chan-Wook's 'Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance' Getting a Remake
12 hours ago
While we're waiting for a remake of Park Chan-wook's Oldboy from director Spike Lee, another film in what is called the Vengeance Trilogy is also getting the remake treatment. Deadline reports Silver Reel and Lotus Entertainment are working with di Bonaventura Pictures and Cj Entertainment to create an English-language remake of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance with Broken City writer Brian Tucker behind the script. The film is actually the first film in the aforementioned trilogy, but this isn't the kind of film series where you need to see the other two films in order to enjoy and understand the films in the series. Read on! For those who don't know, the story follows arecently laid off factory worker who kidnaps his former boss' daughter, hoping to use the ransom money to pay for his sister's kidney transplant. As of now there's no director, but Silver Reel and Lotus are looking »

Watch: An American Legend Rises in New 'The Lone Ranger' Trailer
15 hours ago
"Justice is what a man must take for himself." With just over one month to go until the Disney's The Lone Ranger finally hits theaters, a fourth theatrical trailer has surfaced showcasing some more great train robbery action and an increasingly heroic looking Armie Hammer. Is there a chance that Johnny Depp might not have to carry this film with Hammer in the lead? We're hoping this isn't another Alice in Wonderland situation where Depp is made to be the star (though the marketing has pushed that angle), but we'll just have to wait and see. Also, how many times will Helena Bonham Carter shoot that shoe gun? Here's the new trailer for Disney's The Lone Ranger, originally from Apple: "There come a time, Kimosabe... When good men must wear mask..." Never take off the mask. Any good? The Lone Ranger is directed by Pirates of the Caribbean franchise helmer »

Superman & General Zod on Two 'Man of Steel' Character Posters
16 hours ago
We're starting to get into Man of Steel overload territory, so we're going to slow down the hype. But these two new character posters, following yesterday's spotlight on Russell Crowe as Jor-El looking like a bad ass on his own poster, are just too cool to ignore. Superman and General Zod each stand tall, but while The Big Blue Boy Scout played by Henry Cavill looks heroic, the menacing villain brought to life by Michael Shannon seems to be in restraints. While we're getting a lot of posters for this comic book film, we're just happy that Warner Bros. isn't so desperate to give Lois Lane (Amy Adams) her own poster like this. Look! Here are the two new posters for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel via ComingSoon: Man of Steel, the new DC Comics Superman reboot, is being directed by Zack Snyder, of Dawn of the Dead, 300, Watchmen & Sucker Punch previously. »

Watch: First Trailer for Ben Wheatley's Trippy 'A Field in England'
16 hours ago
Just recently we learned about the unique distribution plan in the United Kingdom for A Field in England, a trippy period horror thriller from Kill List and Sightseers director Ben Wheatley. In addition, Drafthouse Films just picked up the film for distribution here in the United Sates. It's good timing because now the first trailer has arrived for the film about a group of English Civil War soldiers in the 17th century who are captured by an alchemist and led into a vast mushroom field, where they fall victim to violent and nightmarish forces. It looks like another wild and unique film from Wheatley, a truly talented filmmaker. Here's the first trailer for Ben Wheatley's A Field in England from Picturehouse Cinemas: A Field in England is directed by Ben Wheatley from a screenplay co-written by Wheatley and Amy Jump. The story follows a small group of deserters fleeing »

Simon Pegg Says Cheers to 'The World's End' on Two New Posters
16 hours ago
Following the first teaser trailer from across the pond for Edgar Wright's newest comedy The World's End, we have two new posters with pub crawl attendees Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, Eddie Marsan and Rosamund Pike. We're still not sure what kind of threats the whole crew will be facing, but as with the other teaser poster, this shows some kind of horde of people with glowing eyes, maybe Invasion of the Body Snatchers style or something. Either way, this should be a very satisfying conclusion to the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy following Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Here are the new posters for Edgar Wright's The World's End from Focus Features: Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) is writing and directing The World's End, third part of the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. 20 years »

Must Watch: Hugh Jackman Rages in New Trailer for 'The Wolverine'
18 hours ago
"Eternity can be a curse. A man can run out of things to live for." Honestly, the first domestic trailer for The Wolverine from director James Mangold was a little underwhelming for this writer. The international trailer that was released around the same time did a much better job of painting this sequel in the right light, but still getting the story and action across. However, there are still worries that this film is cut from the same mold as the less than stellar X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Well, this new trailer hits some of the same beats as the first, but is edited and presented in a much better way with some solid new action. Here's the new trailer for James Mangold's The Wolverine from the film's YouTube Channel: Based on the celebrated comic book arc by Chris Claremont & Frank Miller, The Wolverine finds Logan, the eternal warrior and outsider, »

Cannes 2013: Sci-Fi 'Last Days on Mars' Retreads Familiar Territory
20 May 2013 6:23 PM, PDT
One of the very few full-on science fiction films premiering at the Cannes Film Festival this year is a thriller called The Last Days on Mars, directed by Irish filmmaker Ruairi Robinson making his feature debut after a number of shorts including Blinky™ and Fifty Percent Grey. Set on Mars at the end of a six month manned mission to the planet to search for signs of life, it starts out as an intriguing indie sci-fi with some promise. But alas devolves into something that I hate to say is derivative and brings absolutely nothing new to the sci-fi game, which is a bit unfortunate because it otherwise visually looks great—some concept work was done by Weta, but the rest of the visual effects were made entirely by Screen Scene based out of Ireland. Note: some minor spoilers follow but I fully expect these story beats to be shown/hinted at in the trailer. »

How Far Did Abrams Go to Hide 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Villain?
20 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT
This past weekend, Star Trek Into Darkness took the #1 spot at the box office. And despite some intense (and mostly valid) nitpicking of the writing and plot, the film is a fun roller coaster ride of suspense and action, complete with stellar performances and a glorious score. But leading up to the film, the primary focus was that of the film's villain. Early rumors pegged the sequel's bad guy as the infamous Khan from the frequently lauded Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, but J.J. Abrams and everyone else kept saying that Benedict Cumberbatch was playing a villain named John Harrison, and they were wrong. More below! **If you don't want any spoilers for Star Trek Into Darkness, stop reading. You've been warned.** And so began the long debate of whether or not J.J. Abrams was using one of the most iconic villains from the Star Trek universe. In fact, »

Watch: International Trailer for 'Turbo' Highlights Slow Snail World
20 May 2013 3:20 PM, PDT
In what is basically a superhero movie repurposed for a mollusk, DreamWorks Animation has Turbo coming this summer. Ryan Reynolds voices the snail who finds himself with the gift of super speed after a chance encounter with some nitrous fuel liquid. In this new international trailer, we get an entertaining glimpse into the mundane lives of the slow-moving snails, and also get introduced into some of the other snails in the film voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, Bill Hader, Richard Jenkins, Michelle Rodriguez and more. This looks like it could be the second hit for Dwa after The Croods earlier this year. Watch now! Here's the new international trailer for DreamWorks Animation's Turbo from MSN UK (via ComingSoon): Turbo is directed by David Soren (who went from storyboard artist, to head of story, to directing the Merry Madagascar Christmas special) working from a script he co-wrote with Shrek Forever After scribe Darren Lemke. »

Damon Lindelof Talks Extensively About Inception of 'Tomorrowland'
20 May 2013 2:40 PM, PDT
Right now the plot details for Brad Bird's original Disney project Tomorrowland, which has George Clooney and Hugh Laurie attached to star, are still under right wraps. There have been theories about UFOs and other guesses resulting from digging in the "mystery box" that Bird revealed earlier this year. Thankfully, in an interview with Grantland (via SlashFilm), writer Damon Lindelof talked a bit about the new project, and while he didn't reveal any big secrets, he did talk about the inception of the story, how Bird ended up getting involved, and how this ties in to the Disney theme park area of the same name. Read on! Speaking about the inspiration that Disney's theme parks gave to the film Tomorrowland, Lindelof says: I’ve always been fascinated by Disneyland and Disney World, and my favorite part of the park was always Tomorrowland. But there’s no story there. Like, »

'The Wolverine' Gets Yukio & Viper Posters Before Trailer Tomorrow
20 May 2013 1:52 PM, PDT
Tomorrow there will be a brand new trailer for The Wolverine, continuing the story that started in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but without neglecting the events of the X-Men trilogy. Now the film from director James Mangold gets a couple more cool posters in the same vein as the initial watercolor style teaser poster and the more recent Silver Samurai poster. That initial teaser featuring a painted Hugh Jackman is so popular, it's been stolen from bus shelters and more around the country, and these posters, highlighting the characters of Yukio (Rila Fukushima) and Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova), weakly capitalize on that style. Still, we're anxious to see what this new trailer, arriving tomorrow morning, has in store. Look! Here are the two new posters for James Mangold's The Wolverine from 20th Century Fox: Based on the celebrated comic book arc by Chris Claremont & Frank Miller, The Wolverine finds Logan, the eternal warrior and outsider, »

Liam Hemsworth Takes Flight in Fighter Pilot Thriller 'Aurora Rising'
20 May 2013 1:33 PM, PDT
Later this year, The Hunger Games franchise star Liam Hemsworth shares the screen with acting giants Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman in Paranoia, hitting theaters on August 16th. And Hemsworth is continuing his rise to A-list status as THR reports he will be leading a film called Aurora Rising for Relativity Media. In a story that might have flares of Point Break, the film follows a Southern California surfer who becomes a fighter pilot. But after a messy combat mission, he's recruited to be part of an elite team testing a new kind of aircraft at the dawn of an international conflict. So Top Gun meets Red Dawn? It's unclear where this international threat comes from, but Hemsworth seems to be following in the footsteps of his brother, Thor star Chris Hemsworth, who tackled the remake of Red Dawn a few years ago (it sat on the shelf until it »

Jor-El Looks Pretty Intimidating on 'Man of Steel' Character Poster
20 May 2013 1:18 PM, PDT
Kicking off what will likely be a series of posters leading up to the release of Man of Steel, a new character poster has arrived featuring Russell Crowe looking quite intimidating as Kal-El's father Jor-El. We've heard Crowe's voice on nearly all of the trailers and TV spots, and this puts him front and center, seemingly ready for a fight. We're not sure how much action Jor-El will see in the film before he sends Superman to Earth, but since the character has his own poster, that implies there's a good amount. Again, the lens flare is prominent, and we're still wondering if this will be akin to J.J. Abrams use of the light element in Star Trek. Here's the new character poster for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel from Warner Bros. Pictures: Man of Steel, the new DC Comics Superman reboot, is being directed by Zack Snyder, of Dawn of the Dead, »

Sylvester Stallone Talking to Steven Seagal About 'Expendables 3'?
20 May 2013 1:02 PM, PDT
With director Patrick Hughes confirmed to be at the helm of The Expendables 3, the biggest concern is rounding up all the bad asses to make up the ensemble of action stars kicking ass this time around. Wesley Snipes has been pegged for a role, and recently Stallone further confirmed the involvement of Jackie Chan and return of Mickey Rourke. Now it sounds like another new face might enter the mix. Stallone took to Twitter for another revelation and merely said, "Just talked to Steven S. in Moscow. Sounds great and says he wants to be in EX3, if the part fits..." If you're thinking that means Steven Spielberg, just get out of here. Stallone pretty much has to be talking about Steven Seagal, the once thriving action star who many fans have been clamoring to have show up, especially after Chuck Norris got a chance to shine in The Expendables 2. »

Anna Kendrick & Kate Hudson Join Zach Braff's 'Wish I Was Here'
20 May 2013 12:24 PM, PDT
Despite some misinformation about the funding coming together for Zach Braff's film Wish I Was Here, following a very successful Kickstarter campaign, it sounds like the Garden State director has his head on straight, and there hasn't really been any deception to those who so graciously helped Braff get his project off the ground. And so the film marches onward with a couple new casting additions. First, The Wrap reports that the lovely Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect, 50/50) has landed a supporting role and Deadline pegs Kate Hudson for a role alongside Braff, who is leading the film in addition to writing and directing. For those who don't know yet, the film follows Braff as Aidan, a struggling actor trying to support his wife and and kid as he's still trying to figure out his identity and purpose in life. Aidan only gets through the days fantasizing about being the »
