Teaser Trailer for Greg Mottola’s Clear History Starring Larry David, Jon Hamm, Bill Hader, and Michael Keaton
26 minutes ago
The first teaser trailer has been released for Greg Mottola's HBO film, Clear History, which stars an unrecognizable Larry David as "Nathan, a hipster marketing exec who sells all his shares at a start-up over a fight with his boss (Jon Hamm), only to miss out on billions when the company’s new product—an electric car—becomes a smashing success." The movie was largely improvised, and also stars Bill Hader, Kate Hudson, Eva Mendes, Danny McBride, Michael Keaton, Phillip Michael Hall, Jb Smoove, and Amy Ryan. Mottola tells EW the movie picks up ten years after Nathan's disastrous mistake, and he has changed his name and gone incognito. The Superbad director adds that the character is loosely based off an employee mentioned in Walter Isaacson’s Steve Jobs biography. Hit the jump to check out the trailer and first image. Clear History premieres on HBO in August. Image via EW. »

Game Of Thrones Recap: “Second Sons”
40 minutes ago
Game of Thrones is juggling a lot of stories, as it always has, but this year it feels different because for the first time I think that viewers are really clearly feeling the stakes. We know the major characters, we know the major trajectory. There are zombies to the north and dragons to the east, and a lot of political intrigue in between. What's been nice about this season too is that we've gotten lots of great character moments, even in the midst of so many stories. The storytelling has often been fractured though, but what "Second Sons" did a great job with was actually giving us time to pause and really embrace the plots and characters this week -- no Jon, no Robb, no Bran, no Jaime and Brienne and no Theon meant lots of time to spend with the others, especially because so many of them for once shared the same screen. »

Antonio Banderas, Martin Sheen, and Rodrigo Santoro to Star in Chilean Miner Film, The 33
47 minutes ago
Remember that really uplifting story back in 2010 about the Chilean miners? The 33 miners in Chile who were trapped for sixty-nine days underground but all managed to survive? To not make it into a movie would be a crime, and today, Variety is reporting that Antonio Banderas, Martin Sheen, and Rodrigo Santoro (300) are set to star in The 33. Directed by Patricia Riggen (La Misma Luna) and written by Mikko Alanne and Jose Rivera, the movie will dramatize the already dramatic events of the miners' struggle for survival and the international rescue effort. Santoro will be playing Florencio, the first miner to surface in the rescue. Banderas will play the role of Mario Sepulveda, the charismatic miner known as "Super Mario." I'm not sure how he earned this name, but presumably he got it from his ability to collect coins and devour giant mushrooms. Last year, producer Mike Medavoy (Apocalypse Now »
