Ken Jeong Talks The Hangover Part III, Community’s Renewal, Dark and Subversive Humor, Stereotypes, Working with Todd Phillips, and More
1 hour ago
With director Todd Phillips’ comedy sequel The Hangover Part III opening this week, I recently participated in a roundtable interview with Ken Jeong. In the final installment to the popular franchise, we find Stu (Ed Helms), Phil (Bradley Cooper), and Doug (Justin Bartha) en route to taking Alan (Zach Galifianakis) to a psychiatric hospital when the gang is side-trekked by a mysterious man (John Goodman) who kidnaps Doug and forces the wolf pack to track down Mr. Chow (Jeong), who stole $21 million from Goodman’s character. As you might expect, chaos ensues. For more on the film, watch the red band trailer or check out over forty images. During the interview, Jeong talked about Chow's emotional journey, how the films have been getting darker, doing nude scenes, Chow's accent, what fans always want to quote back to him, filming in Las Vegas, preparing for his big stunt in Part 3, and a lot more. »

First Trailer for Delivery Man Starring Vince Vaughn
1 hour ago
DreamWorks has released a brief first trailer for Delivery Man. The trailer quickly sets up the premise: Vince Vaughn plays a sperm donor who ended up being the biological father to 533 kids due to a mix up at the clinic. Those kids are now suing to find out his identity. The movie is based off the Ken Scott's 2011 Canadian film Starbuck, which I heard was pretty good. Here's hoping that Scott, who is helming the remake, can repeat his success. Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The film also stars Chris Pratt, Cobie Smulders, and Britt Robertson. Delivery Man opens November 22nd. Here's the official synopsis for Delivery Man: A middle-aged man's life is turned upside down when he learns he has fathered 533 children through sperm donation. When a few hundred of the children express an irrepressible need to meet their father, he must decide whether »

New U.S. Trailer for Edgar Wright’s The World’S End Starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost
1 hour ago
You may have seen the U.K. trailer for director Edgar Wright's The World's End previously, but the new U.S. trailer has now been unveiled with plenty of new footage to scope out. The story centers on five childhood friends (played by Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Eddie Marsan, Paddy Considine, and Martin Freeman) going through an epic pub crawl in order to reach the fabled pub, “The World’s End”. But as they make their way to the pub, they discover that the fate of humankind is on the line. The humor seen in the U.S. trailer is just as sharp and funny as the jokes in the U.K. trailer. Also, after rampaging zombies in Shaun of the Dead and cordial fascists in Hot Fuzz, killer robots feel like a natural antagonist for the conclusion of the "Blood & Ice Cream Trilogy". Hit the jump to check out the trailer. »

20 New Images from Man Of Steel Featuring Skull Mountains and Heat Vision
10 hours ago
In case you missed this dread-filled trailer for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, we've gathered up 20 new images for your viewing pleasure. The final trailer certainly gets a dark and foreboding tone across, but some of the scenes move a hair too fast for the less-than-superhuman eye to take in. Scenes like Superman (Henry Cavill) being buried by a mountain of skulls, Lois Lane (Amy Adams) being outfitted with some sort of spacemask and not one but two instances of heat vision! The film also stars Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fisburne, Antje Traue and Russell Crowe. Man of Steel opens in 3D on June 14th. Hit the jump to check out the images. Take a look at the images from the new Man of Steel trailer below: [gallery link="file" order="Desc" columns="1"] Here’s the official synopsis for Man of Steel: In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most »

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters Unrated Cut Review
10 hours ago
Writer-director Tommy Wirkola's style is one that will either delight you with its over-the-top gore and sick brand of humor, or will disgust you for the same reasons. I'm happily in the former camp. My first introduction to Wirkola's work was the fantastic original film Dead Snow - two words: Nazi zombies. While I missed his broader effort Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters when it opened in theaters, last night I had the opportunity to attend the premiere of the film in all of its uncut glory. The film may not have found its audience stateside, but the global box office of nearly $225 million gives hope that Wirkola will be around for future efforts. Perhaps the unrated cut version of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, available now on digital platforms and due out on Blu-ray/DVD on June 11th, will find more of a home with American audiences. For my review of that particular cut, »

Armando “Pitbull” Pérez Talks Epic, Why He Wanted to Voice an Animated Character, His Upcoming Tour with Ke$ha, and More
10 hours ago
Epic is a 3D family adventure comedy that reveals a fantastical world hidden from the human eye. In the forest, there is an ongoing battle between the forces of good, who keep the natural world alive, and the forces of evil, who wish to destroy it. When a teenage girl (voiced by Amanda Seyfried) finds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she teams up with the Leafmen, led by Ronin (voiced by Colin Farrell), and a cast of odd-ball characters, who must work together to save both their world and ours. From Ice Age director Chris Wedge, the film also features the voices of Beyonce Knowles, Josh Hutcherson, Christoph Waltz, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, Chris O’Dowd, Jason Sudeikis, Aziz Ansari and Armando “Pitbull” Pérez. At the recent L.A. press day, Collider got the opportunity to chat with superstar music artist Pitbull about what made him want to »

Final Trailer for Man Of Steel Features General Zod’s Ultimatum and a Mountain of Skulls
13 hours ago
Warner Bros. has released the final trailer for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. In it, General Zod (Michael Shannon) sets up the film's central conflict and gives Earth 24 hours before unleashing hell. While previous trailers focused on the coming-of-age tale of a Kryptonian stranded on Earth and the love between a son and his father, this new cut is chock full of dread, evidenced by Superman drowning in a mountain of skulls. When the villains threaten to kill one million humans for every life he saves, you can't help but feel as if the odds are fully stacked against the world's most powerful superhero. This is certainly a fresh approach to the iconic hero and I hope that the film lives up to the trailers' expectations. Hit the jump to check out the trailer and check out 20 new images here. The film stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, »

Richard Linklater Reveals Criterion Is Releasing Slacker on Blu-ray; Hopes to Eventually Release a Before Trilogy Blu-ray Box Set
15 hours ago
Richard Linklater is one of the more versatile filmmakers working today. He very much marches to the beat of his own drummer, and his filmography is littered with varied and fascinating projects like Waking Life, School of Rock, Dazed and Confused, and last year’s terrific Bernie. Now, as Before Midnight—the wonderful and moving sequel to Before Sunrise and Before Sunset—is poised to open in limited release this weekend, Linklater has revealed that the Criterion Collection version of his breakthrough 1991 film Slacker will be released on Blu-ray. Linklater broke the news while talking to Steve in anticipation of the release of Before Midnight, and the filmmaker also discussed his desire to do a Blu-ray box set of all three Before movies at some point with some new extras.

New Posters for Ender’S Game, Blue Jasmine, Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom, The Internship, and Mortal Instruments
16 hours ago
We’ve got a few new posters to share today. Briefly: Ender’s Game – A new promo poster for the adaptation puts Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford’s characters front and center, as we see Butterfield’s titular Ender in his space suit. The film opens on November 1st. Blue Jasmine – The first poster for Woody Allen’s latest is unsurprisingly simple, but it does look like Cate Blanchett’s character will be the film’s central focus. The pic opens in limited release on July 26th. Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom – The debut poster for the biopic gives us our first look at Idris Elba as Nelson Mandela, which hopefully means a debut trailer is on its way. The film opens on November 29th. The Internship – A new poster for director Shawn Levy’s comedy sells the reunion of Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. The film opens on June 7th. »

Limited Paper: Odd City Announces Subscription Plans Ahead of “Very Busy” Summer
20 hours ago
Though the Austin-based Odd City hasn’t been around very long, the two poster releases they do have under their belt—a Chuck Sperry Dazed and Confused print and a pitch-perfect Amityville Horror print from N.E.—have been enormously impressive, an absolute cut above most of the ho-hum filler that’s slowly been flooding the market over the past year. So, when Odd City dropped us a line to tell us about the “very busy” summer they’re expecting to have and the subscription model they’re offering buyers, we couldn’t help but take note. Wanna know everything we know? Meet me after the jump, folks. We haven’t spent a lot of time discussing the matter here at Limited Paper, but the truth is this: there’s a whole lotta mediocre product being pumped into Poster World these days. We do our best to weed out the »

With J.J. Abrams Star Trek Into Darkness now playing around the world, we recently landed an exclusive phone interview with Alice Eve.

Full Reveal Trailer and Behind-the-Scenes Video for Call Of Duty: Ghosts
20 hours ago
As part of Xbox’s console announcement today (read Matt’s recap here), Microsoft introduced a couple of games that will be featured this fall as part of the Xbox One experience. One of the most highly anticipated games is Infinity Ward’s follow-up to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, a wholly new Call of Duty video game featuring a new story and characters called Call of Duty: Ghosts. The full reveal trailer for Ghosts is now online, and it’s very, very promising. The video game was written by Oscar-winning Traffic and Syriana scribe Stephen Gaghan and takes place in the near future in which America’s forces have been nearly obliterated. The protagonist is part of the resistance, a ragtag team made up of former members from various armed forces services such as Navy SEALs and Marines. I love the underdog approach here and Gaghan’s involvement is incredibly promising. »

New Images from The East Starring Brit Marling, Alexander Skarsgard, and Ellen Page
20 hours ago
Fox Searchlight has released a batch of new high-resolution images from director Zal Batmanglij’s (Sound of My Voice) eco-terrorist thriller The East. Brit Marling co-wrote the script with Batmanglij and stars as an undercover operative for an elite private intelligence firm who infiltrates a domestic terrorist organization in order to protect her corporate clientele. Once she starts living as part of the anarchist collective, though, she finds that her loyalties aren’t as solid as she believed them to be. I caught the film at Sundance and it’s a very solid thriller that poses some fascinating questions that don’t exactly have easy answers. It has a lot to say about the world we live in, but the film still manages to work very effectively as commercial entertainment, as evidenced by the most recent trailer.

XBox One Announced and Will Be Released Later This Year; Specs Revealed; Will Include Next Generation Kinect
20 hours ago
Microsoft just wrapped their presentation for their next-generation console, XBox One. The name comes from being an "All-in-One System" that will be at the center of your home entertainment system in a way that's never been quite this intimate/creepy. There was a lot of information during the presentation, but I took copious notes in between mocking the presentation on Twitter. In all seriousness, Xbox seems to have taken a real next step as opposed to Nintendo (new controller!) and Sony (better graphics!), but let us not get into a console flame war. The verdict is far from in, but the Xbox One does look promising albeit with some serious reservations. Hit the jump for my recap of the presentation, and click here for the news regarding Xbox's live-action Halo series produced by Steven Spielberg. Starting with the design of the console, Xbox One is definitely a step up from »
