1 hour ago
Tom Cruise is taking a step back by stepping out of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. to focus on producing and starring in Mission Impossible 5. Cruise had been slated to co-star with Armie Hammer in the Guy Ritchie directed movie adaptation of the '60s television series. When the project was first launched, Steven Soderbergh was directing and George Clooney was attached to star. Both men have since left the project with Soderbergh slowly slipping into retirement and Clooney focusing on other projects like Gravity and Monuments Men. So who can fill Tom Cruise's spot? Here are five guys who could step in and yes, many of them have worked with Ritchie before. Robert Downey Jr. Ritchie Connection: Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Why He Could Be The...

Marvel Mutant Mayhem! Bryan Singer Takes Quicksilver for His 'X-Men' Movie
23 May 2013 1:20 PM, PDT
Who knew Quicksilver was such a popular Marvel hero? Pietro Maximoff, a mutant twin first introduced in the X-Men universe, has been generating a ton of headlines lately because Joss Whedon would like to use him for The Avengers 2. Today, however, director Bryan Singer threw Hollywood a curveball by saying that He plans to use Quicksilver first as a member of X-Men: Days of Future Past. Singer, of course, used Twitter to announce the casting, saying that American Horror Story co-star Evan Peters had won the role. “Before he was an #Avenger, he was just a Really fast kid. Thrilled to say #EvanPeters is joining #XMen #DaysOfFuturePast as #Quicksilver,” the director shared. And with this...

A Newbie Watches All the ‘Fast & Furious’ Movies…and Lives to Tell
23 May 2013 11:03 AM, PDT
I had never intended to completely ignore the Fast and Furious franchise. It's just one of those things that just happened. However, with Fast and Furious 6 hitting theaters, it was time to finally see what the fuss was about. It was time to see if Vin Diesel and Paul Walker driving cars really fast would be enough to sustain five movies. It was time to marathon the first five films in the series! The Fast and the Furious The Plot: An undercover cop, (Paul Walker) finds himself drifting to the wrong side of the law when he forms a genuine bond with a street racer and possible criminal (Vin Diesel). Many cars drive very fast. Some of them crash. Coolest Ride: For the first hour of so of The Fast and the Furious, the various modern street racing cars look pretty...

Film Mom: When Singers Get Cast in Movies, It's Music to Our Ears
23 May 2013 10:27 AM, PDT
Beyonce. Pitbull. Steven Tyler. Ludacris. Rita Ora. The lineup at the Billboard Music Awards? The season finale of American Idol? Nope, these musical superstars all act in two of this weekend’s biggest films, Epic and Fast & Furious 6. With tens of thousands of actors to choose from, why is Hollywood giving so many roles to musicians? Oh, there are reasons. Good ones. 1. Attitude. Rock stars bring a certain swagger to their roles. Vin Diesel says Rita Ora was cast after he met her in a party caravan to Puffy’s house and he realized she had the look and presence that embodies modern London, where much of Fast and Furious 6 takes place. And, is it a leap to think that the voice of a forest queen would be much different than a queen...

'Epic' Audio: Our Exclusive Interview with Director Chris Wedge
23 May 2013 8:18 AM, PDT
“I wanted to make a big action movie at the beginning of this, and I wanted an ensemble cast,” director Chris Wedge told us while discussing his new animated adventure, Epic, which opens in theaters on May 24. He delivers on those fronts. With Epic, Wedge transports audiences to a miniaturized world where the forces of nature -- led by the Leafmen -- defend an important forest from a looming threat. Amanda Seyfried voices the lead role of Mary Katherine, the daughter of a scientist who is pulled into the ongoing battle. Seyfried is joined in the cast by Josh Hutcherson, Colin Farrell, Christoph Waltz, Aziz Ansari and the multi-faceted Beyonce Knowles, voicing Queen Tara – the closest thing Epic has to Mother Nature. ...

'Furious 6' One Big Scene: Vin Diesel and The Rock vs. a Tank ... Who Ya Got?
23 May 2013 7:43 AM, PDT
One Big Scene is a weekly column dedicated to spectacular visual sequences we’re recommending you see in the theater. If you have ones you’d like us to write about, let us know in the comments section. I’m not sure anyone could have predicted back in 2001 that we’d still be talking about The Fast and the Furious as a legitimate Hollywood franchise … and anticipating each sequel because the series somehow managed to get better with age. Fast Five helped the franchise turn a massive corner, introducing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and upping the drama in what has become a pretty rich mythology. All of a sudden, the story of a low-rent California crook (Vin Diesel) and the undercover cop (Paul Walker) ordered to...

New on DVD: Soderbergh's Supposed Stateside Showbiz Swan Song 'Side Effects,' More
22 May 2013 5:26 PM, PDT
Side Effects Is there a doctor in the house? Why yes, and he's played by Jude Law--a headshrinker who prescribes a dubious anti-depressant to his female patient (Rooney Mara) after she runs her car into a wall. Someone ends up dead and the Hitchcockian plot thickens...is there some sort of conspiracy going on? Whodunnit? This was to be Steven Soderbergh's swan song to the movie biz (we'll see)--if that ends up the case, it's a pretty solid way to go out. Extras: Featurettes on the behind-the-scenes and the fictional medications (DVD/Bd). Beautiful Creatures You say you like your supernatural creatures to have a swampy, Southern-fried touch? Look no further than this teen fantasy-romance based on the novel series involving a high school junior (Alden Ehrenreich) smitten...

22 May 2013 5:17 PM, PDT
Cine Latino covers, well, all things relating to Latino culture and the movies, every Wednesday. Earlier this month Universal hosted a Google+ Hangout with our favorite badass Latina, Michelle Rodriguez. I "hung out" with seven other Hispanic outlets that included NBCLatino, Huffington Post Latino Voices, Univision, Voxxi, Batanga, Desde Hollywood and Checa La Movie. Check out our interview below as Rodriguez talks about returning to the Fast and Furious franchise, her beauty secrets, and her upcoming projects as a writer. Click on the image below.

Guillermo del Toro Lets You Peek Into the Soul of the 'Pacific Rim' Robots
22 May 2013 12:18 PM, PDT
Up until now, much of the focus in promoting Pacific Rim has been centered on giant robots battling giant monsters from the sea. We've gotten a brief taste as to how the guts of the robots work in earlier trailers, but now director Guillermo del Toro and the cast of the sci-fi action blockbuster take you inside the guts of the giant robots known as Jaegers. Essentially, the robots operate with two pilots who are fused with the machine. The way the pilots and the computer interact is known as "The Drift." According to the cast, the process allows the pilots to see the all the memories, good and bad, of their co-pilot, essentially allowing them to, as del Toro puts it, "peek into each other's souls." Pacific Rim stars Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Charlie...

Buckle Up and Get Ready for Three More 'Transporter' Movies
22 May 2013 11:52 AM, PDT
If you thought you saw the last of Frank Martin in theaters, think again. THR reports that Luc Besson's production company EuropaCorp announced at the Cannes Film Festival that as part of a three year co-production agreement with Chinese film company Fundamental Films we'll be getting three new Transporter movies. There's no word as to whether Jason Statham will reprise his role of Martin, though the cable TV spin-off starred a different actor in British actor Chris Vance. The productions will be budgeted around $30 million to $40 million with at least one of the films likely to shoot in China. I can picture the Great Wall of China chase sequence already. The partnership between the two companies stipulates a minimum of 15 Europa films will be released...

'Grown Ups 2' Trailer: Somehow, Naked Kevin James is the Least Disturbing Image
22 May 2013 11:42 AM, PDT
A wild animal urinates on Adam Sandler. Taylor Lautner appears in a non-Twilight movie. A naked Kevin James dives off of a cliff … and lands on a naked David Spade. These are either signs of an impending apocalypse, or scenes from the latest trailer for Grown Ups 2. Both sound terrifying. We kid, only because the original Grown Ups made $271 million in worldwide ticket sales back in 2010, and we know that no matter what we say, the reunion of these Saturday Night Live heavyweights is going to propel this sequel to the top of the box office charts this summer. Here’s the new trailer. Tell us what you think: Dennis Dugan directs Grown Ups 2, which stars Sandler, Rock, Spade, James and Chris Rock as...

Watch: Can Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Prevent 'The World's End?'
22 May 2013 9:07 AM, PDT
Five friends. One epic bar crawl. The possible annihilation of our planet. Yep, just another Edgar Wright comedy. Those who have seen (and adored) Wright’s Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz have circled The World’s End, the conclusion to a proposed comedic trilogy that once again follows Simon Pegg and Nick Frost on an over-the-top adventure. They play former mates who reunite in hopes of completing a pub crawl that defeated them in their youth. This time, though, the threat is a bit more severe … and alien. The latest trailer for Wright’s The World’s End ramps up the sci-fi element of the story, while also solidifying some fantastic jokes. The supporting cast for Wright’s...

You're Tardy! Getting to the Theater on Time
21 May 2013 4:48 PM, PDT
I hate being late to anything. Last Halloween, my family went to see Hotel Transylvania opening weekend on a Saturday, and we were running late. We saved some time by using the Fandango kiosk at our theater, but the only place for four people to sit together was in the very front row, where we had to look up the whole time. My husband wanted to leave, but I couldn’t do that to the kids. It happened to be a movie that the whole family could enjoy, so we all ended up smiling. We were lucky. But I’ve since made a plan to make sure we always get to the theater early. Not on time -- early. Here’s how: Plan for 15 minutes early If the spouse is going, you might want to tell him or her that the movie starts 15 minutes earlier than...

Latest 'Lone Ranger' Trailer Brings The Action
21 May 2013 2:39 PM, PDT
The Lone Ranger trailers keep coming. This latest look at the Jerry Bruckheimer production is focused on action and lots of it. In fact, most of the promotional material around this film has been focused on the action, leaving me to wonder how much story there is to go along with all the sizzle. The film finds Armie Hammer in the title role with Johnny Depp playing his sidekick, the Native American spirit warrior Tonto as they battle corruption and greed in the Old West. Check out all the other Lone Ranger trailers and TV spots here and take a look at the latest trailer below. The Lone Ranger arrives in theaters July 3.
