New International Trailer for Grown Ups 2 Starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, and David Spade
19 minutes ago
A new international trailer for director Dennis Dugan’s comedy sequel Grown Ups 2 has been released online, and it’s got everything: ugly mother jokes, deer piss, David Spade in a tire, a Shaq nut shot, and the classic “fat guy jumps naked into a lake” gag. The story appears to revolve around a rivalry between Sandler’s “old guys” gang and a group of stereotypical frat boys who live near Sandler’s cabin. It’s hard to believe there’s an audience out there for a sequel like this, but with the first film making over $270 million worldwide, it would appear that there are plenty of people eager to see more Grown Ups. Hit the jump to watch the new trailer. The film also stars Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, Maya Rudolph, Nick Swardson, Taylor Lautner, and Patrick Schwarzenegger. Grown Ups 2 opens on July 12th. »

Game Of Thrones, The Americans, and Girls Score Critics Choice TV Awards Nominations; Mad Men and Modern Family Shunned
45 minutes ago
Nominations for the 2013 Critics’ Choice Television Awards have been announced, and along with plenty of welcome surprises there are a couple of snubs that are likely to have people talking. Here’s a brief rundown of some of the highlights: Best Drama Series nominees include Game of Thrones, Homeland, Breaking Bad, and FX’s excellent new series The Americans. Conspicuously absent is Mad Men, which only scored one nomination overall for Elisabeth Moss as Lead Actress. Best Comedy Series nominees include Louie, New Girl, Parks and Recreation, and Veep, with Emmy favorite Modern Family failing to land a nomination along with last year’s winner Community. Instead, ABC sitcom The Middle made the cut. Netflix’s House of Cards scored two nominations for Best Actor (Kevin Spacey) and a very deserved Best Supporting Actor nod for Corey Stoll. David Lynch landed a Best Guest Performer in a Comedy Series nom »

Francis Ford Coppola Planning to Direct New Italian-American Saga; Will Span from 1930s to 1960s
1 hour ago
Francis Ford Coppola was one of the biggest filmmakers of the 1970s, but over the following decades, his stock began to decline. After a 10-year absence following The Rainmaker, Coppola returned with micro-budget, seriously art-house pictures that struggled to find distribution. His latest picture, Twixt, had ambitious plans including a tour that would feature live-editing of the picture, but ended up only played at film festivals and has yet to see an American release. But now Coppola plans to return to the genre that catapulted him to stardom with The Godfather. According to THR, Coppola is planning to direct an Italian-American family drama that will span from the 1930s to the 1960s. The filmmaker is working on the screenplay, "which is described as a coming-of-age story that focuses on a boy and girl in their late teens." The production has offices set up at Paramount (home of The Godfather), but »

Brief Synopses for Lionsgate’s Cannes Sales Including The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2, Draft Day, Venus In Fur, John Wick, and More
2 hours ago
The Cannes Film Festival, like most major film festivals, is where studios deal behind the scenes to acquire films, although Cannes has the added touch of also packaging movies (which is why we've seen so many casting stories) and selling existing properties to foreign buyers. Lionsgate managed to sell nine of their movies, and their press release contains brief synopses for each of the films. Some confirm what we already know, some provide new information, and some are Step Up 5 ("Fifth installment of Summit Entertainment’s successful Step Up franchise"). Hit the jump for the synopses as well as the cast and above-the-line crew. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2 (ColorForce, Lionsgate) Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland Director: Francis Lawrence Writer: Danny Strong Producers: Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik Brief Synopsis: In Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2, we »

New Bonnie & Clyde Images Released Featuring Holliday Grainger and Emile Hirsch
2 hours ago
Today marks the 79th anniversary of the death of notorious outlaw couple Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, and as such, History is releasing a few photos from their upcoming miniseries, Bonnie & Clyde, which will be simulcast on History, Lifetime and A&E later this year. The miniseries has been in production for years, with an incredible amount of starts and stops (and a lot of recasting -- remember when Hillary Duff was set to play Bonnie? She was then replaced by Lindsay Pulsipher, who played the cat girl on True Blood …). History finally settled on a winning combination of Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) and ethereal beauty Holliday Grainger (The Borgias) to play the infamous couple, who were iconically portrayed in the 1967 film by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beaty. Hit the jump for the images and more. The photos depict Grainger as perhaps a more glamorous version of Bonnie than »

2 hours 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. »

3 hours 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
3 hours 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
12 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
12 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
12 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
15 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, »

17 hours ago

17 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.

Limited Paper: Odd City Announces Subscription Plans Ahead of “Very Busy” Summer
21 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 »
