'Prometheus' Sequel Shows Signs Of Life
6 hours ago
Whether you like it or not, it looks like a sequel to "Prometheus" is coming our way. At least, that's what a new article from Variety suggests.
Word of Fox and the producers' intention to quickly follow-up the $400 worldwide hit spread just months after the original film debuted, with THR naming 2014 or 2015 as potential targets.
Even though those date now seem unrealistic considering how long it takes a project like "Prometheus" to get going, there is progress. Variety is reporting that Jack Palgen, who wrote "Dark Knight" cinematographer Wally Pfister's directorial debut, "Transcendence," which stars Johnny Depp, has been hired to write the script.
A writer announcement has been expected for some time, ever since Damon Lindelof announced that he would not be returning to write the screenplay for the sequel. That announcement resulted in a gossipy story about how producers were pissed because Lindelof wrote them into a corner. »

Gemma Arterton Explains The Pluses And Minuses Of Making A Vampire Movie
7 hours ago
Any movie that features vampires and wants to be taken seriously, as a rule, will face comparisons to the throngs of blooding sucking fiction and films that came in the wake of "Twilight."
For Gemma Arterton, whose new movie "Byzantium" is about a vampire mother-daughter duo from acclaimed director Neil Jordan, there are perks and drawbacks to belonging to that trendy club, as she explained to MTV News' Josh Horowitz during a recent visit to the newsroom.
"Actually, it's kind of a double-edged sword because they're marketing it as a vampire movie because there is a market for that," Arterton said. "It's much more human in a way. It's actually about mother and daughter and what it's like to be 200 years-old with your mother or daughter. It's much more of a traditional vampire story in many senses."
Arterton went on to say that there have been some movies about vampires »

James Franco Needs Your Help For His Next Project
9 hours ago
Ever since "Veronica Mars" took to Kickstarter to get their movie going, there has been a very loud and confusing debate (mostly over Twitter) about whether all of this was okay. It only got worse with Zach Braff, who was a polarizing figure even before he decided to make his movie "his way," so it might interest those who aren't utterly exhausted by the conversation that an even more controversial figure has thrown his many hats into the ring.
James Franco just kicked off an indiegogo campaign to bring the three short stories featured in his first book, "Palo Alto," to the big screen. The actor has hand selected three of his favorite Nyu filmmakers to each take on one of the stories. Franco put in money himself, but he needs an additional $500,000 to completely fund the project.
But before you start trying to fit your screed about how wrong this is into 140 characters, »

'Frozen' Teaser Takes Inside Disney's Newest Wintry Animated World
10 hours ago
Disney Animation has seen somewhat of a return to form after finding massive success with "Tangled" and "Wreck-It Ralph" (and without having to slap a Pixar logo in front of the movie). Now the studio is once again going back to the fairy tale well for their latest effort, the icy adventure "Frozen," starring Kristen Bell, Josh Gad, and Idina Menzel.
"Frozen" tells the story of two sisters. Anna (Bell) must find her sister Elsa (Menzel) in order to free the world from an eternal winter.
Anna is joined on her journey by a snowman, that you can see in the preview below, and a man named Kristoff, played by "Glee's" Jonathan Groff.
Check out the teaser for Disney's "Frozen" after the jump!
"Frozen" opens in theaters on November 27, 2013.

'Riddick' International Trailer Will Have You Convinced In 5 Seconds
17 June 2013 12:25 PM, PDT
For years, Vin Diesel has been struggling to get another movie made about the character originally from "Pitch Black," who was then featured in his own spin-off, "The Chronicles of Riddick." When the "Fast & Furious" star got his third sci-fi thriller off the ground, things were largely quiet on the "Riddick" front for a long time.
In the past few months, Diesel has slowly pulled the curtain back on his R-rated personal project that also stars Karl Urban and future "Guardians of the Galaxy" star Dave Bautista. The first preview and now the newly release international trailer seem to promise a kick-ass sci-fi adventure that looks to be as badass as Diesel has been promising all along.
Check out the new trailer after the jump!
"Riddick" opens in theaters this October.

What the New 'Star Wars' Movies Need: Garindan
17 June 2013 10:00 AM, PDT
By Ryan Rigley
Now that "Star Trek Into Darkness" is finally out in the universe, director J. J. Abrams can finally focus on a different universe all together: the Star Wars universe. Last week, Schmoes Know released the highly-sought after potential plot synopsis for "Star Wars VII" that was apparently intercepted from Bad Robot Productions. "Two 17 year old twins, a girl and a boy, are trained by their uncle Luke to be the greatest Jedi’s in the galaxy," states the alleged plot synopsis. "Problems arise when the male twin turns to the dark side."
This, of course, alludes to both Jaina Solo and Jacen Solo being the focus of the new trilogy; two characters made popular by the Star Wars Expanded Universe. While this information makes heaps of sense, we can't help but wonder how accurate these reports really are. We also can't help but wonder which minor characters »

MTV News' 'Kick-Ass 2' Set Visit...Well...Kicks Ass
17 June 2013 8:30 AM, PDT
From MTV News
The first trailer for "Kick-Ass 2" let us know that not only are our favorite heroes and villains from the first movie making their triumphant return for a follow-up, but we also learned that they're bringing friends. But every group of super villains needs a lair to hangout in and host epic showdowns with heroes. That's exactly what MTV News went to see when we headed to the London set of "Kick-Ass 2."
Josh Wigler sneaked into the headquarters of the villain formerly known as "Red mist" — and now known as something much more Nsfw — to see how the final showdown would go down.
But the new movie won't be all butt kicking. MTV News spoke with some of the stars to see how things have changed since the first "Kick-Ass."
Chloe Grace Moretz filled us in on how we'll see the characters behind Kick-Ass and Hit Girl grow in the sequel. »

'Wolf Of Wall Street' Trailer Unites Scorsese, DiCaprio, And Kanye West
17 June 2013 7:00 AM, PDT
We understand that there's a new baby and an album on the way this week, but the trailer for "The Wolf of Wall Street" is the best Kanye West-related thing this week.
The first preview for Martin Scorsese's trip back to the decadence of 90s Wall Street premiered online in the wee hours of the morning, and it's everything we hope for from a pairing of the legendary director and current favorite collaborator, Leonardo DiCaprio.
The trailer takes a look at the insanity — and little person throwing — that went down before everything fell apart.
Apart from the promising premise and outrageous tone of the preview, "The Wolf of Wall Street" also brings together two actor who are in the middle of the career high-points. Seeing DiCaprio and Matthew McConaughey on-screen together may end up being one of the treasures of 2013 at the movies.
